Podcasts about sleaze

Gosh, I miss the old days of CEO greed, when the pay gap between Boss Hog and everyday employees was merely gross.

If you've ever rolled your eyes at a LinkedIn message, this one's for you.Being a solopreneur is awesome but it's not easy. It's hard to get noticed.

56:17- Another edition of the best podcast you’ve never bothered listening to!

Unverschämt lange drei Jahre ist es nun schon wieder her, dass sich der hauptamtliche Cineast Stefan Jung in die heiligen Hallen des Bahnhofskinos verirrte. Verständlicherweise, denn immerhin hat der nimmermüde Autor seit seinem letzten Besuch ungefähr drölfzig Blu-ray-Booklets, Audiokommentare, Filmkritiken und Sachbuchtexte veröffentlicht. Umso wunderbarer, dass ich Stefan nun wieder begrüßen darf, um über John Frankenheimers 52 Pick-Up (1986) zu palavern. Der bietet nicht nur gemeinsame Lieblinge wie Roy Scheider, Ann-Margret und John Glover in den Hauptrollen, sondern vergüldet den typischen 80s-Sleaze von Cannon Films auch noch mit einem exquisiten Drehbuch von Elmore Leonard (Mr. Majestyk, Out of Sight). Ach ja, und dann wären da noch Ron Jeremy, Amber Lynn und die anderen US-Pornolegenden– aber dazu dann mehr im Gespräch.

When I received Kris's request to be a guest on my podcast, my jaw dropped a little. This is someone who's not only deep in the trenches of story-driven marketing but who has also been trained by Donald Miller himself. Yes, that Donald Miller. So you already know, I had to say yes! In today's episode, we're unpacking how to turn your story into a magnetic sales tool—without sounding sleazy or salesy. Kris shares the one story that transformed her own business and gives us a behind-the-scenes look at how she helps service-based entrepreneurs stop struggling with disconnected content and start showing up with a message that actually connects. We talk about: Why storytelling works so well for service-based businesses How to know which story to tell (and what to leave out) The biggest storytelling mistakes to avoid (yes, we went there) And one practical step you can take today to unify your message If you're a Jesus-led career mom trying to juggle life, purpose, and building a coaching or service-based business online, this episode will feel like a breath of fresh air. Kris keeps it real, strategic, and full of heart. Let's dive in! .

In this episode of the Learning from Smart People Podcast, Rob Oliver talks with Chris Castanes—an award-winning insurance agent, speaker, and author of You Are Going to Be Great at This. Chris brings decades of sales wisdom with a refreshing blend of humor and authenticity. Whether you're a reluctant entrepreneur or a seasoned salesperson, you'll appreciate Chris's real-world insights on what it really takes to succeed in sales—without the sleaze.Here are some of the key takeaways from Chris Castanes' conversation with Rob Oliver:Sales success starts with learning how to find people to talk to.A full pipeline and consistent networking are essential to growth.Rejection is part of the process—develop “Teflon coating” and keep moving.Toastmasters and public speaking can help introverts build communication confidence.Sales isn't just about product—people buy from people they trust.Building rapport and demonstrating integrity beat pushy tactics every time.Relationship selling means showing up sincerely, not just closing a deal.You're always selling yourself—in business and in life.Humor and resilience can defuse rejection and create memorable moments.“Selling on the approval of others” taps into a powerful psychological motivator.Real-life examples (like Popeye and spinach!) make sales techniques relatable.Listening is more powerful than talking—find the client's real pain point.Be genuinely curious about your client's needs, not just your pitch.Follow up consistently; a client's circumstances can change unexpectedly.Keep multiple solutions “in your quiver” to serve evolving needs.Transitioning to virtual and social media-based sales requires creativity and adaptability.The barrier to entry on social media is low—standing out requires strategy.Your name is your brand—keep it consistent and focused.Avoid diluting your identity with conflicting side hustles.Chris's humor-infused book was a passion project turned powerful teaching tool.You can learn more about Chris Castanes and connect with him through the links below:Website: www.chriscastanes.com Twitter: @ccastanes Instagram: @chriscastanesThanks for listening to the Learning from Smart People Podcast!Subscribe, leave a comment and follow us on social media:Twitter: http://twitter.com/LFSPPodcast Instagram: http://instagram.com/LFSPPodcast Facebook: http://facebook.com/LFSPPodcast LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/lfsppodcast/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/imroboliver/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbWV_LuUad7ZWuE9j5D9v-wYou can also use the "Contact" page on the "Learning from Smart People" website:https://www.learningfromsmartpeople.com/contact

Heiko Hartmann (Allesglotzer) is back! Und wieder einmal hat der Experte für knüppelharten Sleaze eine besondere Perle im Gepäck. THRILLER - EN GRYM FILM (1973) gehört nicht nur ins Pantheon des Rape 'n Revenge-Kinos, sondern machte auch seine Hauptdarstellerin Christina Lindberg zum Kultstar, an die Quentin Tarantino Jahre später sein Herz verlor. Darum geht es aber kaum in unserem Gespräch, sondern vielmehr um Sex, Gewalt und gute Laune ... und sehr, sehr viele Zeitlupen.

A title so fantastic, we had no choice but to cover it. In The Holy Virgin vs the Evil Dead (1991), martial arts director Tony Lou—who'd already jumped from wild Wuxia epics to girls-with-guns carnage—takes the Category III plunge and ends up in bed with Donnie Yen (not literally, but you get the idea). It's […]

For many of us in the coaching and healing world, selling can feel more like a four-letter word than a pathway to impact. But what if I told you that selling doesn't have to feel sleazy or pushy? In this episode, I share my journey of overcoming sales resistance and how my mentor, Connor Healy, has completely reshaped my perspective. We dive into ten sneaky mindset traps that hold us back from making authentic connections and closing sales with confidence. From fear of rejection to the belief that our services aren't worth the price tag, we explore how these beliefs create barriers to success. With practical tips and a focus on authenticity, I guide you through reframing your approach to sales, so you can step into your power as a transformational practitioner. After all, when you embrace your worth, your clients will too!Takeaways: Sales doesn't have to be icky or pushy; it's all about authentic connection and service!

Transforming your mindset around sales can completely change your conversion rates and client relationships. The fear of selling is common, but focusing on your clients' needs can turn that fear into confidence.

Is Britain Corrupt (Part 2) The Black Spy Podcast, Season 18, Episode 0009 This week's Black Spy Podcast asks the question: Is Britain, and indeed the West, corrupt? During part two of this fascinating discussion, Carlton King and Dr. Rachel Taylor suggest that what is all important is the definition and perception of what corruption is. The Black Spy Podcast team argue that corruption involves the abuse of power for personal gain, encompassing both overt acts, such as bribery, and more subtle forms, such as cronyism or undue influence. So, although there are, in Britain and in many Western nations, robust legal frameworks, independent judiciaries, and a semblance of a free media, supposedly contributing to transparency and accountability, it can not be taken for granted that these measures work. Hence, although the UK has bodies like the the National Audit Office and parliamentary committees tasked with scrutinizing public spending and governance questions, the issue remains live.   Western countries often rank relatively high on indices like Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index, reflecting lower levels of perceived corruption compared to many other regions. But is this correct? Criticisms of corruption in the West often center on systemic issues rather than overt illegality. Examples of this include lobbying, where wealthy individuals or corporations wield disproportionate influence over policy-making and opportunities for enrichment. This raises ethical concerns, even if it adheres to legal frameworks. The "revolving door" between politics and private industry is another area of lack of scrutiny, as it can blur lines between public service and private interests. Furthermore, scandals such as the 2009 UK parliamentary expenses controversy or financial misconduct exposed during the 2008 economic crisis demonstrate these vulnerabilities. Similarly, some argue that offshore tax havens linked to Western jurisdictions enable global financial corruption. Hence, in conclusion, while Britain and the West exhibit relatively low levels of overt corruption, systemic practices and scandals often come to light that suggest that the region is not immune to its own ethical and accountability challenges.   Moreover, the Black Spy Podcast team note that perceptions of corruption often depend on the accepted societal norms, expectations, and evolving definitions of those compiling corruption indices.

But is this correct? Criticisms of corruption in the West often center on systemic issues rather than overt illegality. Examples of this include lobbying, where wealthy individuals or corporations wield disproportionate influence over policy-making and opportunities for enrichment. This raises ethical concerns, even if it adheres to legal frameworks. The "revolving door" between politics and private industry is another area of lack of scrutiny, as it can blur lines between public service and private interests. Furthermore, scandals such as the 2009 UK parliamentary expenses controversy or financial misconduct exposed during the 2008 economic crisis demonstrate these vulnerabilities. Similarly, some argue that offshore tax havens linked to Western jurisdictions enable global financial corruption. Hence, in conclusion, while Britain and the West exhibit relatively low levels of overt corruption, systemic practices and scandals often come to light that suggest that the region is not immune to its own ethical and accountability challenges. Moreover, the Black Spy Podcast team note that perceptions of corruption often depend on the accepted societal norms, expectations, and evolving definitions of those compiling corruption indices.

Meltdown: Scandal, Sleaze and the Collapse of Credit Suisse (Pegasus Books, 2024) is a great business history book. It meticulously chronicles the story of a large and once revered Swiss Bank, Credit Suisse, from its foundation in 1856 until how a series of scandals, driven by a culture of greed and entitlement among its bankers, led to the bank´s ultimate collapses in March 2023. The narrative also explores the bank's international expansion, particularly its partnership with First Boston in the United States. Meltdown is not just a history of Credit Suisse but a broader investigation into the systemic issues of greed, lies, and ambition that plague the financial industry. It raises critical questions about the future of big banks in a world where transparency and accountability are increasingly demanded. Learn more about your ad choices.

SEASON 3 EPISODE 85: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: Justice Samuel Alito must be off from the Supreme Court of the United States. Immediately. Today. He is without any morals, ethics, judicial standards, and if he is aware of the CONCEPT of the appearance of the conflict he no longer gives a damn. ABC News reports – and Alito confirms – that on TUESDAY he SPOKE to Trump – the day before Trump’s lawyers filed an emergency request demanding Alito and the other justices BLOCK New York Judge Juan Merchan from sentencing Trump tomorrow for his 34 convictions in the Election Interference/Stormy Daniels case here. Even though there is 0% chance of jail time, and probably not much more of one of probation or a fine. The convicted felon constitutionally ineligible president-elect is also has the TikTok case in front of the Supreme Court AND will probably take the release of either or both of the two halves of the Jack Smith report on Trump – Espionage and the Coup Attempt – to the Supreme Court to try to keep those reports from ever seeing the light of a day and this human embodiment of sleaze Sam Alito TALKED TO HIM BY PHONE less than 48 hours ago.And what is Alito’s excuse for this complete breach of judicial etiquette? Alito told ABC the conversation WAS not about the cases, it was about… a job reference he wanted to personally given to get his law clerk a job in Trump's administration - even if it's true, ALSO a conflict of interest. Sam Alito to ABC News: "We did not discuss the emergency application he filed today, and indeed, I was not even aware at the time of our conversation that such an application would be filed. We also did not discuss any other matter that is pending or might in the future come before the Supreme Court or any past Supreme Court decisions involving the President-elect." Nonsense. Sam Alito lied in the case of the political flags flown over his homes and his conflicts with neighbors. He has publicly complained that the American public has had the nerve to disagree with him. He has imposed his religious nut job views on cases at the Court. How could you be so dense, so unaware of the hatred you personally have brought down upon this once most respected of American governmental institutions, as to conduct that call, NOW? I mean this would be cheap and petty and obvious and a conflict of interest even by Trumpian standards. Just recusing is insufficient. He must be off the court. In point of fact, Alito should recuse, resign… and go to hell. SOLUTION TO AILEEN CANNON? Ignore her. Solution to Mark Zuckerberg: Wonder with what Trump has threatened him. Solution to a tough Fox News town hall: Give Trump the questions secretly beforehand. Solution to invading Greenland, Canada, and Panama when we are by treaty required to protect Greenland, Canada and Panama? You got me. B-Block (46:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Jen Psaki does a lengthy commentary wondering, four years too late, if Merrick Garland was the wrong choice to be Attorney General and she was wrong to promote him. Ultimately she decides she didn't screw up because "nobody can predict the future" even though the rest of us did. Like even Erick Erickson, whose J6 tweet resurfaces in which he called for barring Trump for office for life. And the suicide bomber Bezos brought in to destroy the Washington Post actually asked how to attract Trump supporters. C-Block (58:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: The mandatory evacuation line in Santa Monica is three blocks north of the home I used to own when I worked there. It's amazing how a trivial detail like that can clarify a disaster like the L.A. fires - and how millions of us Angelenos (me included) managed to live in denial about the risks of living and building and expanding there. This is not criticism - it's confession.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Gordi Eaton is a legend in the ski industry, and while many people don't know his name, because he was born in 1939, he's had a huge impact in the development of modern ski technology. Before he was involved in helping to bring sidecut, shape, top shape, rocker, and so much more tech to the table, Gordi was an Olympian on the first Bob Beattie-created US Ski Teams that featured athletes like Bill Marolt and Buddy Werner. Then, after coaching at the highest level, Gordi became K2's Race Director, a sales rep, and more. On the podcast, we discuss coming up with no grooming or releasable bindings, putting the Mahre Brothers on K2, and his history with George Torme and Bode Miller.

As author Shannon A. Thompson once wrote about relationships, "We are together even when we are apart." What she didn't write, however, was that perhaps there are those in relationships that should stay apart. Far, far, apart.
