Brad Beeler, author of Tell Me Everything and retired Secret Service agent who has conducted more criminal polygraphs than anyone in the agency’s history, was clearing a house on a search warrant when he came across two dogs: a pitbull and a Chihuahua. His focus locked on the pitbull. The stereotype. The threat. Meanwhile, the Chihuahua circled behind him and jumped up, latching onto him right between the legs while his partner stood there laughing. We assign horns and halos fast. Brad learned that lesson with dogs. You learn it every time a prospect shuts down before you finish your introduction. Horns mean danger. Hurtful. Someone here to take from me. Halo means safe. Helpful. On my side. Over 25 years of getting people to confess to federal crimes, Brad discovered something powerful: the same instincts that get hardened criminals to talk work in conference rooms. The techniques that break through with people who have every reason to lie also work on prospects who have every reason to brush you off. Because in both environments, trust determines everything. Why Building Trust With Prospects Is Harder Than You Think Your brain’s been running this horns-and-halos program for 300,000 years. When something rustled in the bushes, you made a split-second decision: climb a tree or fight. That quick judgment kept you alive. The moment you walk into a prospect meeting, their brain assigns you horns automatically. You are the salesperson. The interruption. The person asking for their budget. In their mind, you represent risk before you ever speak. It happens on cold calls. You say, “Hi, this is…” and they are already calculating how to end the conversation. On discovery calls. In demos. At conferences when you introduce yourself. Every single time. You are fighting ancient wiring every time you engage a buyer. So what can you control? The first 90 seconds. How to Build Trust in the First 90 Seconds We remember first impressions and last impressions. In most meetings, it begins and ends with a handshake. Brad puts antiperspirant on his right hand. He warms his hands before entering a room. He holds eye contact for one second. Faces the person straight on. Slows his pace. Lowers his tone. It sounds mechanical. But every one of these micro-decisions either confirms horns or begins to build a halo. Wet handshake? You’re nervous, unprepared, not confident in what you’re selling. Avoiding eye contact? You’re hiding something or you don’t believe in your own pitch. Talking too fast? You’re trying to get something past them before they catch on. When you control these variables, people’s guard comes down faster. You’re giving their brain evidence that maybe, just maybe, you’re not the threat they assumed you were. The Trust-Building Technique Most Salespeople Get Wrong Brad would sit across from murder suspects and open with one line: “I need you to help me understand.” Humans are hardwired to explain. When you position yourself as the learner, something shifts. They become the expert. Their guard drops. They start talking. Most salespeople walk in ready to educate. Your deck. Your case studies. Your demo. You’re there to prove you know their problems better than they do. Sometimes that works. But think about what it communicates: “I already know what’s wrong with your business. I just need you to agree with me and sign here.” Instead, try: “Walk me through what happens when your team processes a new order.” “Help me understand how you’re handling onboarding right now.” “What’s your biggest bottleneck?” Invert the dynamic. You’re not there to impress them. You’re there to learn from them. Once buyers start explaining their world, they reveal what matters. The workaround their team built. The spreadsheet that breaks every month. The process leadership thinks is automated but is completely manual. That’s the information that moves your deal forward. How to Build Rapport Before the Real Conversation Starts Before interrogating two suspects, Brad bought them food. Popeyes for one. McDonald’s for the other. Twenty-two dollars total. The next day, the woman’s on a jail call: “Yeah, they got me with the McDonald’s. That’s why I confessed.” It was not about the food. It was about comfort. Lowering the guard. Creating what Brad calls a confessional environment where people feel safe telling the truth. You’re probably not buying prospects lunch before your first call. But the principle still applies. Show up five minutes early so they don’t feel rushed. Ask about their weekend before diving into business. Acknowledge that you know their time is valuable. Turn your camera off if they seem uncomfortable on video. Send the agenda beforehand so there are no surprises. These are small friction eliminators. They signal: I’m not here to ambush you. I’m not trying to catch you off guard. We’re having a conversation, not a pitch. The prospect who feels safe tells you what’s really going on. The prospect who feels ambushed gives you the corporate line and ends the call early. What Happens When You Actually Build Trust With Buyers When buyers move you from horns to halo, everything changes. They stop filtering their answers. They tell you what keeps them up at night. They admit where the process breaks. They share internal pressure you would never see in a polished demo. I’ve watched this play out hundreds of times. The rep who asks better questions closes more deals than the rep with the better demo. The rep who makes prospects comfortable gets to real problems faster than the rep with the perfect pitch. Brad spent 25 years getting people to confess to federal crimes. He still warms up his hands before handshakes. Still slows his speech. Still positions himself as someone who needs to learn. Why? Because building trust isn’t about personality or natural charisma. It’s about technique. These methods work because they’re based on how humans actually operate, not how we wish they operated. And when buyers tell you the truth, you can actually help them. — Download our free Sales EQ Book Club Guide to master the emotional intelligence skills that help you read prospects and close more deals.

This conversation is about busting one of the most common myths in food and retail: that when teams struggle, it's because they don't care or aren't capable. Amy and Donna share what they see again and again while coaching pressured teams — from unspoken rules and quiet toxicity to “too-nice” cultures where nothing difficult ever gets said. They explore why leaders often default to training requests, even when the real issue sits deeper in behaviours, systems, and relationships. You'll hear why surface-level fixes rarely work, how emotional labour and burnout creep in unnoticed, and why projects often feel heavier than they need to. Donna brings a grounded, retail-savvy perspective on what actually helps teams move forward — including the power of asking braver questions and inviting honest feedback. This isn't about blame or quick fixes. It's about understanding how work really feels on the inside — and what shifts when leaders stop patching over problems and start addressing what's unspoken. Timestamps 01:28 Why it feels so flipping hard to get everything done in food and retail 03:02 Donna's journey from retail to sidekick extraordinaire in food and manufacturing 04:34 Beyond training: why “people just need more training” misses the real causes 06:02 The power and awkwardness of asking the right questions, and why it's worth it 07:14 Fact versus perspective and the danger of dying on your own sword 08:30 The illusion of surface-level problems: why time, pressure, and roles aren't the real issue 10:04 Unpacking “the system”: workplace machines, hidden hierarchies, and office politics 12:01 The hidden cost of burnout, overwork, and why “just getting it done” isn't enough 13:05 Toxic behaviours, overly “nice” teams, and the cost of artificial harmony 14:27 Why some conflict is healthy and necessary for change 15:23 The value of external team coaching and surfacing what's left unsaid 16:52 Why transformation beats sticking-plaster solutions every time 18:36 Training versus coaching: different tools, but only coaching gets under the surface 20:18 What makes team coaching different: flexibility, depth, and following the real energy 22:08 Getting data from the system through individual feedback, frontline insight, and honest conversations 23:18 Why real cultural change is a long game, not a one-off 24:31 The change equation in action and what it really takes to bring people with you 26:10 The trap of paperwork replacing honest conversations 28:19 Why surface problems are never just about numbers, they're always about people 29:33 Actionable takeaways: easy but brave questions to ask your team 30:53 Why “my door is always open” isn't enough without a real invitation to feedback 32:13 The importance of feedback upward, sideways, and downward 33:19 Building healthy habits where small conversations beat big dramas 34:33 Why it's about how we do the work, not just what we do 35:57 Amy and Donna on practicing what they preach 37:11 Key takeaways: it's not a lack of effort, it's what's unspoken.

Trump erupts after SCOTUS curbs tariff power, US growth sputters, a GOP governor warns of disaster, and the real risk of a Trump-led strike on Iran that could shatter global stability.Subscribe to our Newsletter:https://politicsdoneright.com/newsletterPurchase our Books: As I See It: https://amzn.to/3XpvW5o How To Make AmericaUtopia: https://amzn.to/3VKVFnG It's Worth It: https://amzn.to/3VFByXP Lose Weight And BeFit Now: https://amzn.to/3xiQK3K Tribulations of anAfro-Latino Caribbean man: https://amzn.to/4c09rbE

This week on Fed Watch, ITR Economist and Speaker Lauren Saidel-Baker breaks down a major Supreme Court decision striking down the administration's use of emergency powers to impose tariffs, and what that means for inflation, business costs, and economic uncertainty ahead. With fourth quarter GDP coming in at 1.4% and core PCE inflation rising to 3%, headlines are painting a mixed picture. Is growth really faltering? Are inflation pressures reaccelerating? And how should business leaders interpret the latest data amid shifting trade policy? Lauren unpacks what is signal versus noise, why government shutdown effects matter, and why inflation may not fade as quickly as some hope. Most importantly, she explains why the tariff ruling does not automatically mean lower prices for businesses and consumers. If you are navigating margin pressure, pricing strategy decisions, or concerns about profitless prosperity, this episode offers critical context. What does this ruling really mean for your cost structure in 2026?

Today, we're asking how we can boost our brain. Our brain is a living, morphing organ that is constantly responding to the stimuli we feed it. So the big question is: what sort of stimuli will keep our brain strong and healthy? Is it brain puzzles? Supplements?

Amazon is going all-in on its own AI shopping agent.According to the latest NADA Market Beat: January sales came in at a 14.85M SAAR, down 4.1% year-over-year and the lowest January pace since 2024Severe winter storms affected store traffic late in the month, while EV share dipped and hybrids continued to shine.Incentives averaged $3,335 per unit (+5.6% YoY, -5.5% vs. December), landing at 6.6% of MSRP—still well below the pre-pandemic ~10% norm.Translation: OEMs and dealers still have discounting headroom if demand needs a boost.BEV share fell to 6.6% (-1.9 pts YoY) amid the absence of federal EV tax credits.Hybrids are humming right along as they climbed to a 12.6% share (+0.5 pts YoY), continuing their steady momentum.Inventory at 2.53M units, down 9.2% YoY; expected to hover there through the first half before building later in the year.NADA is forecasting a 16m SAARFord's abrupt exit from its battery JV with SK On has left 1,600 Kentucky workers jobless just months after production began. While locals are pointing fingers at Ford, the unraveling of EV tax credits and shifting policy winds added serious pressure to an already cooling EV market.Ford scrapped its multibillion-dollar SK On partnership just four months after batteries started rolling off the line in Kentucky, cutting 1,600 jobs.The elimination of the $7,500 federal EV tax credit and relaxed CAFE standards cooled demand, with Ford admitting “the operating reality has changed.”Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear blamed federal policy, saying 1,600 workers lost jobs “solely because” EV credits were eliminated.Workers like Joe Morgan say Ford misread the market, with one employee adding, “At the end of the day, whatever the government policy would be, the company made the decision.”The plant will remain open under full Ford control, pivoting to battery storage production with about 2,100 jobs—well short of the 5,000 originally promised.As AI shopping agents multiply, Amazon is betting customers will skip the middleman and stick with the retailer they already trust. CEO Andy Jassy says in-house AI will win on experience, accuracy, and loyalty—even as AI-driven retail traffic surges nearly 700% year over year.Amazon argues shoppers want four things: broad selection, low prices, fast delivery, and trust—and Jassy says retailers outperform “horizontal agents” on delivering all four.AI-driven referral traffic to retailers jumped 693% year over year during the 2025 holiday season, signaling rapid adoption of third-party tools.Jassy criticized horizontal agents, saying they lack shopJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

After betrayal, many people feel an intense pressure to move quickly, to decide, to understand, to feel better. That urgency often sounds logical and responsible. But more often than not, it's fear wearing a sensible disguise. In this episode, Luke Shillings explores the concept of pacing, not as avoidance or indecision, but as a skilful, intentional way of healing. You'll learn why betrayal disrupts our sense of time and safety, how urgency can masquerade as intuition, and why moving faster than you can integrate often leads to burnout, doubt, and repeated reversals. This episode is about learning how to slow down without getting stuck, and why healing happens at the speed of safety, not pressure. Key Takeaways Betrayal collapses predictability, which creates urgency Urgency often feels like clarity, but it usually comes from fear Pacing is not avoidance, it's active, intentional restraint Healing fails more often from being rushed than from being slow Decisions made under pressure rarely hold emotionally Intuition is calm; urgency is demanding Slowing down builds self-trust and emotional stability You don't need certainty to heal, you need safety Who This Episode Is For Listeners feeling pressured to “know” what to do next People who appear functional on the outside but feel internally flooded Anyone worried they're taking “too long” to heal Those who want to move forward without forcing clarity A Grounding Reminder You're not behind. You're not failing. You're responding to a loss of safety, and pacing is how that safety returns. Support & Next Steps If you're feeling rushed to make decisions or be “better by now,” support can help you slow the process without stalling it. Through one-to-one coaching and The After the Affair Collective, Luke helps people stabilise, rebuild self-trust, and make decisions from a grounded place rather than fear.

New population estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau show that U.S. population growth slowed sharply in 2025, largely due to a steep drop in immigration. After one of the fastest growth years in decades in 2024, the nation's growth rate fell to about 0.5%, raising important questions about future housing demand. In this episode of Real Estate News for Investors, Kathy Fettke breaks down the latest Census data, including where population growth is slowing, which states are still gaining residents, and why even the fast-growing South is beginning to cool. We also look at how lower migration, an aging population, and affordability pressures could reshape housing markets in the years ahead. If population growth has been a key driver of your investment strategy, this is data you'll want to understand.

As you age, your thymus produces fewer newly formed cells responsible for responding to unfamiliar pathogens, reducing your immune system's adaptability. This shift, combined with persistent inflammation, defines the core features of immune aging Urolithin A, a postbiotic compound, stimulates mitochondrial renewal in aging immune cells. A recent study shows it can increase naïve-like T cells and strengthen immune surveillance in just four weeks of supplementation Clinical findings show that urolithin A boosts mitochondrial renewal pathways, increases markers linked to mitochondrial biogenesis, and improves immune cell metabolism Beyond immune health, studies reveal that urolithin A influences cancer pathways, enhances muscle strength and endurance, improves fatty liver markers, and reshapes metabolic signaling involved in obesity and insulin resistance Beyond using urolithin A, you can also support your mitochondria by lowering linoleic acid intake, eating the right carbohydrates, limiting environmental toxins, and supporting NAD⁺ production with niacinamide

Are you trying to lose weight, eating “healthy,” and staying consistent — yet still feeling bloated, tired, and stuck? You're not lazy or broken. You may be under-eating, and it's quietly slowing your metabolism. In this episode Coryn and Crysanne, break down why eating too few calories — especially not enough protein — keeps women trapped in a restrict → crave → overeat cycle. This pattern increases cravings, hurts consistency, and makes fat loss feel harder, even when you're doing all the “right” things with your nutrition and workouts. You'll learn: Why under-eating can lead to weight gain and metabolic slowdown How protein supports metabolism, muscle, and workout recovery Why whole foods (including dairy and healthy fats) help control cravings How to lose weight sustainably without food guilt or burnout If you're tired of spinning your wheels and want sustainable weight loss rooted in nutrition, workouts, and habits that last, this episode is for you.

Send us a textWhen work slows down, it's hard to tell if it's a rough patch, an economic downturn, or a sign that freelancing isn't sustainable for you. The uncertainty creates an emotional spiral: doom scrolling job boards, questioning your decisions, wondering if you should just get a job instead.​In this episode, host Treasa Edmond and business coach Ed Deason tackle both sides of this question: the practical reality of economic downturns and the emotional toll of freelancing during uncertain times. Ed breaks down the difference between macro-level economic pressures (which are real) and micro-level freelance businesses (where you only need five clients, not a million). Treasa addresses the emotional side directly, looking at why self-care isn't optional when you're struggling and why giving yourself permission to feel overwhelmed is sometimes enough to move forward. They also discuss when freelancing might not be the right fit, and why that's okay.​WE ALSO TALKED ABOUTThe macro vs. micro reality: Yes, downturns are harder, but you only need a handful of clients​Why doom scrolling job boards is never the answer (and what to do instead)​The self-care question: How to prioritize your emotional health so you can show up for your business​When freelancing might not be sustainable, and why that's a valid realization​The 24-hour rule: Setting time limits on emotional spirals so they don't consume your business​"Worry time": a strategy for parking anxious thoughts and breaking the cycle​About Ed DeasonEd Deason is a business coach specializing in working with founders and entrepreneurs ready to scale, pivot, and build their ideal businesses.

In this episode, I share critical year-end reflections for growth-stage CEOs, especially those leading organizations of around 20 employees. As companies scale, leadership must shift from personal execution to empowering others and ensuring the business can thrive even in the leader's absence. I walk through seven powerful reflection questions designed to accelerate leadership growth, from identifying your highest-impact actions to confronting avoided conversations and evaluating how well you're adapting to what the future demands. This episode challenges leaders to lead with courage, rethink their approach for the year ahead, and strengthen both self-awareness and organizational health. All reflection questions are included in the show notes for easy reference. Episode Highlights & Time Stamps 3:09 Seven Reflection Questions for CEOs 6:33 Exploring Leadership Identity Changes 7:16 Leading with Courage in the New Year 7:54 First Steps to Empower Your Team 9:00 Closing Thoughts and Final Reflections Episode Summary In this episode, I guide growth-stage CEOs through a critical year-end reflection often missed during scale, especially around the 20-employee mark. As leadership demands increase, success is no longer about doing more yourself, but about building a business that can move forward without your constant presence. The episode challenges leaders to confront a simple but sobering truth: "If nothing changes in how you lead, this is exactly where your company will be next year." Through seven focused reflection questions, I help CEOs evaluate where their leadership truly creates leverage, where it limits growth, and what must change to build a healthier, more scalable organization. The 7 Reflection Questions The Leverage Audit Which 20% of your leadership actions created 80% of your company's momentum this year? The Impact Test Where did your leadership create meaningful growth in others, not just results? Who became more capable because you led differently? The Avoided Conversation What is the one conversation if addressed that would most reduce friction and free you as the CEO? The Capacity Gap Is the way you're currently leading sustainable for the next stage of growth? The CEO Identity Shift As your company grows, which parts of your founder identity are no longer serving you? Who must you become for the business to grow beyond you? The Courage Move If you were willing to lead with more courage, not more effort, what would you do differently in the first 90 days of the new year? The First Shift What is the first leadership behavior you will stop, start, or delegate in the next week to reinforce a business that doesn't depend on you? Closing Reflection If nothing changes in how you lead, where will your company and your energy be this time next year? All reflection questions are included here for easy reference. Key Takeaways Growth-stage CEOs often become the bottleneck around the 20-employee mark; scaling requires a shift from personal execution to leadership leverage. If your leadership approach does not change as the company grows, it will eventually limit both organizational performance and your personal energy. Effective leadership is measured not by how much you do, but by how well others perform and grow in your absence. Identifying the small set of leadership actions that drive the majority of results creates clarity, focus, and momentum. Avoided conversations are often the hidden source of organizational friction and CEO overload. The leadership style that helped you reach this stage may not be the one required for the next phase of growth. Courage not increased effort is the defining factor in meaningful leadership evolution. Small, intentional behavior shifts (what you stop, start, or delegate) can rapidly increase organizational independence. Year-end reflection is not passive; when done well, it becomes a strategic act that shapes the company's future. Sustainable growth depends on building a business that can operate and win without relying on the CEO's constant presence. Ideal For: Founders, CEOs, executives, managers, and anyone committed to elevating their leadership capacity. Resources & Next Steps Ready to take your leadership energy to the next level?

“The idea behind Arctic Bath was born at Treehotel. And I think this is also an important part of the story. How new crazy things inspire other crazy people to do crazy things that nobody says is possible. We are not competing with each other, we are completing each other—working together and bringing people to each other. That's the way that we work with tourism in this area.”We're in great company with Maarten Raes and Peter Engström, two of the original visionary partners behind Arctic Bath, a one-of-a-kind hotel, spa, and restaurant floating on the serene Lule River in Swedish Lapland, where frost-covered forests transform with the seasons and the Northern Lights dance above the Arctic landscape. Here, they have reimagined what luxury means—not through excess, but through authenticity, nature, and slow travel. What makes Arctic Bath so extraordinary is the quiet conviction behind it—the grit it took to build something real, a team committed to genuine hospitality, and a philosophy that proves luxury is found in connection, not consumption.In this winter episode, we discover how slowing down in the Arctic teaches us what truly matters—and why some of the most meaningful travel experiences happen when we stop rushing and start listening.Top Takeaways[9:50] The story behind Arctic Bath's iconic circular main building meant to mimic timber logs jamming in rapids—and how architect Bertil Harström designed it as a visual tribute to the Lule River's legacy.[15:20] Amidst construction delays, a pandemic six weeks after opening, and countless late nights fixing things behind the scenes, Peter quietly delivered a serene sanctuary for their first season of worldly guests.[19:10] The Michelin Key arrived not for the rooms, the architecture, or the food alone—but for the intangible thing guests keep trying to describe—the genuine warmth of a team that chose to create something real.[21:45] Three ways to experience Arctic Bath: Land and Suite cabins offer spacious luxury, while floating Water rooms let you swim from your bed in summer and listen to the ice sing beneath you in winter.[24:45] The sauna and cold plunge ritual—rooted in centuries of Nordic living—transforms guests and locals alike, awakening something so natural that no manufactured wellness experience at home can replicate.[27:10] Each plate at Arctic Bath tells a story—of the river, the forest, the northern lights—translating the landscape into something guests can taste compliments of the relationships with local fishermen, farmers, and herders. [29:40] A winter day unfolds: dogsledding or snowshoe hiking with locals, Sámi stories shared around an open fire, a luxurious Swedish spa experience—and if you're fortunate, the Northern Lights dancing above in the endless night sky.[32:45] Arctic Bath's sustainability runs deeper than awards—it's woven into every choice, a commitment to nurturing the small businesses and community that make this place possible.Notable MentionsNordic CollectionTreehotel in Swedish LaplandVisit For YourselfArctic Bath Website | @arcticbath_sweden

In this episode, I break down why the holiday season is actually one of the BEST times to get ahead in multifamily real estate.
