This week on the Billy and Lisa show, the hosts dived into a heated discussion about elevator etiquette, with some surprising opinions on what's considered polite or rude behavior in a crowded elevator. They also shared a hilarious story about a listener who was left with a not-so-fresh surprise in their trash can, and the hosts debated whether it's okay to dump dog poop into someone else's trash.The conversation started with a question about what to do when you see someone getting into an elevator - should you hold the door or let it close? The hosts shared their own experiences and opinions, with Billy revealing that he'd rather avoid small talk altogether, while Lisa thinks it's polite to say hello. They also discussed the importance of being considerate of others in a crowded space.The hosts also talked to a special guest, Dave Wedge, a New York Times best-selling author who's written a book about the Karen Reid case. They discussed the impact of social media on the justice system and how it's changed the way we consume and interact with true crime stories.If you're curious about the etiquette debate, the Karen Reid case, or the hilarious story about the trash can surprise, tune in to this episode of the Billy and Lisa show to hear the full conversation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In dieser Folge von CULTiTALK sprechen die Hosts Conny Hattula und Georg Wolfgang über ein inspirierendes Lernformat: den Culture Walk. Conny war vor rund zweieinhalb Jahren zu Gast im CULTiTALK. Während damals der Fokus auf Kulturentwicklung lag, bringt Georg Wolfgang diesmal ein konkretes „Kochrezept“ für innovative Lernformate mit. Georg Wolfgang beschreibt, wie der Culture Walk als analoge Lernreise entstand – in Kooperation mit Renate Siebert und als Auftakt des Positiv Leadership Forums in München. Die Idee: Impulse, Bewegung an der frischen Luft und Begegnung miteinander zu verbinden. Im Laufe der Episode erklärt Georg Wolfgang sehr anschaulich, wie der Walk aufgebaut ist. Drei Stationen, jeweils mit thematischem Input, Reflexionsfrage und Zeit für tiefergehenden Austausch sichern statt Smalltalk echtes voneinander Lernen. Die Stationen reichen von Stärkenarbeit bis zur Reflexion über typische Heldengeschichten und ungeschriebene Regeln in Unternehmen, wobei kleine Methoden wie Stärkenkarten das Nachdenken fördern. Neben dem konkreten Ablauf teilen Conny Hattula und Georg Wolfgang, wie das Format skaliert und individuell angepasst werden kann – nicht nur für große Gruppen, sondern auch als Mini-Interventionen oder für Einzelreflexionen. Es werden praxisnahe Tipps gegeben: Vorbereitung der Wegstrecke, passende Reflexionsfragen und was bei der Durchführung schiefgehen kann, etwa das Thema Geschwindigkeit, Barrierefreiheit oder Störquellen. Abschließend gibt es wertvolle Learnings und Ermutigungen, das Format einfach mal auszuprobieren, klein anzufangen und so Bewegung und Lernen neu zu verbinden. Wer Inspiration für frische Lernformate sucht oder Team- und Kulturentwicklung lebendig gestalten will, findet in dieser Folge zahlreiche Anregungen.   Alle Links zu Conny Hattula: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/corneliahattula/ Unternehmen: https://www.corneliahattula.com/ Podcast WAS LERNST DU?: https://lnkd.in/2j2m2mi0   Alle Links zu Georg und dem Culturizer: Georg: https://www.linkedin.com/in/georg-wolfgang Culturizer: https://culturizer.app CULTiTALK: https://cultitalk.de ANMELDUNG zum kostenlosen Teamworkshop: https://culturizer.app/partner/cultitalk

At a Fleischmanns street fair, a bottle with a bright red label and bold white type — Station Navy Strength Gin — stops Brett at the Skillers booth. Owner James Rooney pours a taste and explains why British sailors once needed their gin strong enough that gunpowder would still ignite if it got splashed with the stuff. That bottle leads to a drive up to Lexington, NY, to see where it's made.Skillers Mountaintop Distillery occupies a small pre-fab barn in what started as Rooney's ski house property near Hunter. Kaatscast walks us through some of the New York state laws that made a small operation like his possible — the Micro Distillery Act of 2003, which cut licensing fees enough to let small producers in; the Farm Distillery Act of 2007, which let distillers open tasting rooms and sell direct, the way wineries already could; and the Craft New York Act of 2014, which simplified licensing further and let farm distilleries sell in satellite locations. In exchange, farm distilleries have to source at least 75% of their ingredients from New York — Skillers uses 100% New York corn as the base for all three of its spirits, filling in the small remainder with botanicals like coriander that can't be grown locally.The three bottles get a full tasting. Greywacke vodka takes its name from the bluestone bedrock under the Catskills, and Rooney credits its stony, mineral edge to Schoharie Creek water that's filtered through that rock. The navy strength gin, bottled at 57% ABV, is built specifically to survive being mixed into a Negroni without landing flat. And horilka — a honey and chili spirit named for the Ukrainian word for flower (kvitka) — nods to the area's Ukrainian community, using local honey and an ultrasonic extraction process to pull flavor from Thai chilies.Gin-smith Jeff Graham describes running the still, watching a batch drip for hours to yield about 20 gallons at a time. Marketing director Todd Spire talks about the tasting room's weekend acoustic music series. And we learn that Skillers spirits are now on shelves at Elevated Wines in Hunter and behind the bar at Small Talk in Woodstock and Peekamoose in Big Indian. Next up: a Skillers Negroni made entirely in-house, which means Rooney is now considering his own line of vermouth.FeaturingJames Rooney, founder and owner, Skillers Mountaintop DistilleryJeff Graham, gin smithTodd Spire, director of marketingRic Rawlins, tasting guestMusic: "Growing Up Catskills" by Josh Roy Brown, from the documentary of the same name.

­ We laten u als luisteraar van DS Vandaag hier graag kennismaken met de bijzondere zomerreeks 'Weg van Nowak', die vanaf nu volledig beschikbaar is achter de luisterknop van de nieuwsapp van De Standaard en op de andere podcastplatformen. ­ U hoort hier aflevering 1: Geen woorden maar dadels ­ Toms boek over journalist Kazimierz Nowak laat Titus niet meer los. Hoe haalde die man het in zijn hoofd om in de jaren dertig helemaal alleen naar Zuid-Afrika te fietsen én terug? Een reis van meer dan vijf jaar. Op zoek naar antwoorden reizen Titus, Tom en Jeroen naar Polen, de heimat van Nowak. ­ Daar vinden ze meer dan ze verwacht hadden: zijn persoonlijke brieven aan zijn vrouw Marys, met de hand geschreven. Intiem, kwetsbaar en vol verlangen naar huis, terwijl hij steeds verder reed. Die brieven leggen een nieuwe kant van Nowak bloot, én zijn levenslange frustratie over het stuk van zijn tocht dat hij door pech niet per fiets kon afleggen. Dan ontstaat het ambitieuze idee om zijn tocht te vervolledigen. Wat als wij het stuk dat Nowak noodgedwongen te paard moest afleggen, fietsen? ­ Terug in België begint het echte werk: routes uitstippelen, trainen, twijfels inslikken. Want wat ze van plan zijn is niet niks. 2200 kilometer door Namibië en Angola. Historica Inge Brinkman schuift aan om het verleden levend te houden.De vraag hangt in de lucht: zijn ze klaar voor wat hen wacht? ­ ---- ­ Weg van Nowak is een productie van Audiotheque in samenwerking met De Standaard.

Kalina Silverman is the founder of a global movement Big Talk; she wants everyone to skip the small talk to make room for big conversations

Send us Fan MailIf networking events, conferences, or rooms full of strangers make you want to find the nearest exit, the problem is not that you are bad at small talk. The problem is that small talk is the wrong goal. In this episode, Kele Belton shares a curiosity shift that helps you move past surface-level conversation and create more genuine connection at work events, networking conversations, and everyday professional interactions.The short version: small talk gets easier when you stop performing and start getting genuinely curious. What follows is the shift that turns surface-level exchanges into real connection, plus simple ways to use it at your next event, meeting, or conference.In this episode of Communicate to Lead, Kele Belton reframes one of the most common sources of professional discomfort: talking to people you do not know well. She explains why typical small talk advice keeps conversations on autopilot, why curiosity works better than performance, and how three simple practices can help you have better conversations at your next event, meeting, or conference. She also connects these everyday moments to career visibility, sponsorship, referrals, and relationship-building, making the point that this is not a soft skill. It is a career skill.What You Will LearnWhy small talk often feels like a performance, and the one shift that takes the pressure off.The two hidden fears that keep capable professionals from asking more meaningful questions.What to say instead of “What do you do?” if you want a more real conversation.How to “listen for the door” and notice the conversational opening most people miss.Why offering something of yourself back is what turns a pleasant exchange into an actual relationship.How to prepare in two minutes before a networking event so real conversation feels more natural.Who This Is ForThis episode is for women leaders, high-performing professionals, and anyone who wants to get better at networking without sounding forced, awkward, or performative. It is especially relevant if you tend to dislike traditional small talk but still want to build stronger professional relationships.Your Action StepHere is your action step for your next event or meeting with someone new:Before you go, write down three questions you would genuinely love to ask a stranger.In the conversation, lead with one of those questions instead of the usual “What do you do?”When they answer, listen for the thread with a little energy behind it, and pull on it with one more question before you say anything about yourself.Common Questions About Small Talk and NetworkingHow do I get better at small talk at networking events?Stop treating small talk as the goal. The shift is to stop trying to sound interesting and start getting genuinely interested in the other person. That change lowers the pressure and makes the conversation easier to continue.What are good questions to ask instead of “What do you do?”Ask the question underneath the question. Instead of “What do you do?” try “What's something you're working on that you're excited about?” or “What's been on your mind lately?”How do I have deeper conversations with people I have just met?Listen for the door. When someone answers a real question, they usually give you a phrase with a little energy behind it. If you follow that thread with one more question, the conversation moves beyond autopilot.Why is networking important for women's career advancement?Because many of the relationships that shape your career start in ordinary, easy-to-dismiss conversations. Sponsors, mentors, referrals, and advocates often begin as strangers in a room.Related QuestionsHow do I stop feeling awkward talking to strangers at work events?Is it rude to ask personal questions when networking?How do introverts network without feeling drained?How do I make a memorable first impression at a conference?How do I turn a networking conversation into a real professional relationship?About Your HostKele Belton is a communication and leadership facilitator, coach, and consultant who helps high-performing women in middle and senior management build the communication and leadership strategies that get them recognized, sponsored, and promoted.Connect with Kele:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kele-ruth-belton/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetailoredapproach/Website: https://thetailoredapproach.comBook a Leadership Strategy Call (30 minutes, complimentary): https://calendly.com/kele-thetailoredapproach/leadership-strategy-call

Dass Daniel eine süße Nachspeise serviert, bei der Katharina zu einem bestimmten Zeitpunkt fluchtartig das Studio verlassen muss, bleibt die einzige Panne in dieser Folge. Ansonsten gibt es: „Fun with Flags““ (Helgoland oder Italien?), große Bestsellerharmonie und einen Gast, der seine Karriere als Gagschreiber bei Jan Böhmermann begonnen hat (Traumjob oder schlaflos in Köln?). Und als Christian Huber dann auch noch beichtet, dass er Pathos liebt und Daniel unentdeckte Metaphern verrät, sind die beiden Best Buddies und kurz davor, ein Busunternehmen in Bayern zu gründen. Wobei: Diese eine unfreiwillige Landstraßenbegegnung in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern – die sitzt den Hosts noch ziemlich in den Knochen. Eine Podcastfolge wie eine Mecklenburger Allee: dicht, prall und mit Überraschungen in der Kurve.

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga. Maybe like me you love hearing stories by women who know who they are. They don't waste words on small talk. They don't give "nice" little speeches. When they speak, the whole room stops. Many of us spend our lives doing the exact opposite. We say what we think people want to hear. We shy away from speaking our truth, offering our ideas. For example, recall a time when you spoke up in a meeting. The surface story is: “I pitched an idea, it got rejected, and I sat down.” That's a report, not a story. The real story happens when you ask yourself why rejection stung so bad. It wasn't about the project; it was the moment you sat down and realized you've been shrinking yourself to make other people comfortable—and you're finally done with that. The memorable story—the one that sits in your chest—arises from your “depth of inquiry.” You're not looking for glory; you're fighting for your right to be seen and heard. TIP: Expressing yourself creatively isn't about being showy. It's about standing in your own shoes, saying exactly what you mean, and meaning what you say. Speak your truth like you know what you're talking about... because you do.  And, I can help.

Do you dread small talk, or are you the person who can strike up a conversation with a total stranger in the checkout line? Either way, this episode is for you. Small talk gets dismissed as fluff — empty chatter about the weather before the “real” conversation starts — but it's actually doing something important: it's the on-ramp to every deeper connection we have.Why Small Talk Isn't PointlessSmall talk is the bridge between “we've never met” and “we actually know each other.” Without it, you can't get to the meaningful stuff — you have to test the water first, find shared ground, and build from there. Jill shares a story about a coworker who thought small talk was painful until she watched Jill use it to connect people at a conference in minutes.It's a Social MuscleLike any skill, the more low-stakes small talk you practice, the more comfortable you get with conversation in general — and that skill transfers to networking, dating, and even hard family conversations. It also signals warmth and approachability, which matters more than we think in a season researchers are calling a loneliness epidemic.Where It Shows Up in Real LifeProfessional advancement often happens informally — in hallway chats and casual check-ins, not just performance reviews. In relationships, small talk is maintenance: couples who check in with “how was your day” tend to stay more connected than couples who only discuss logistics. And it turns out brief, friendly exchanges with strangers give real, measurable boosts to mood and confidence.Seven Small Steps to Get Better at ItFor anyone who feels like small talk doesn't come naturally, Jill breaks it into concrete steps: lower the bar (nice weather today is a complete success), use the FORD method (Family, Occupation, Recreation, Dreams) when you're stuck, comment instead of question, practice in low-stakes places, set tiny specific goals, let silence be okay, and exit gracefully.Small talk isn't shallow — it's the quiet infrastructure of connection. It doesn't ask you to become someone you're not; it just asks for one small step, with one extra person, today.Jill's Linkshttp://jillfromthenorthwoods.comhttps://www.youtube.com/@startwithsmallstepshttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/startwithsmallstepshttps://twitter.com/schmernEmail the podcast at jill@startwithsmallsteps.comBy choosing to watch this video or listen to this podcast, you acknowledge that you are doing so of your own free will.

We're starting a new thread in our podcast weave! "Epic Small Talk“ is basically conversations between performance storytellers and other myth workers on different mythological subjects. A deep dive into the nitty gritty of myth, if you will. And to bless any new project, we have to start by invoking and inviting trickster to open the landscape for us. Join performance storytellers Jo Blake and Dominic Kelly (UK) as well as your eternal hosts Mikael Öberg (SE) and Torgrim Mellum Stene (NO) in a delightful caper on the edge between right and wrong, the cracks, the openings, the thresholds, the grey areas of neither/nor where trickster resides and spins its dynamic dance. The image of trickster is seen from a wide range of perspectives, including in relation to the current state of the world. We invite you to the beginning.

"People aren't inside of our heads, so you have to give them that emotional information as well as the factual information."Humor is more than entertainment—it's a powerful way to create connection. As a comedian, writer, and former teacher, Chris Duffy has learned that laughter, curiosity, and emotion can transform even ordinary conversations into memorable experiences. In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Duffy joins Matt Abrahams to explore how humor can strengthen communication, build deeper connections, and make ideas more memorable. Together, they discuss how to engage an audience, bring authenticity to repeated messages, and create conversations that invite others to participate rather than simply listen.Key Takeaways:Connection comes before comedy. Humor is most effective when it invites others into the conversation, rather than putting the spotlight on yourself.Emotion makes ideas memorable. Combining facts with curiosity, emotion, and storytelling helps audiences understand, remember, and engage with your message.Activity:Create a conversational doorknob. In your next conversation, replace one routine response with an observation, opinion, or question that invites discussion. Notice how offering a "doorknob" changes the depth and energy of the conversation.Episode Reference Links:Chris DuffyChris's Book: Humor MeEp.13 Make 'Em Laugh: How to Use Humor as a Secret Weapon in Your … Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (01:03) - Lessons from the Classroom (01:52) - Curiosity Captures Attention (04:48) - Facts Need Emotion (05:49) - Sounding Authentic (09:29) - Calming Performance Nerves (11:01) - Jamming vs. Joking (14:36) - Becoming Funnier (19:01) - Better Conversations (22:53) - The Final Three Questions (26:48) - Conclusion

In Week 3 of our Kingdom Greatness series, Pastor Alex Gowler delivers an eye-opening message focused on what it truly means to serve our community. Challenging the cultural definition of greatness, this message confronts the lie that we can follow Jesus without actively contributing to the common good of those around us. Grounded in the truth of Galatians 6:7-10, Pastor Alex unpacks how kingdom greatness isn't about status or keeping rigid religious rules—it is the direct fruit of sowing to the Spirit rather than the flesh. If you have ever felt too busy, worried, or distracted to step out in faith, this message is a prophetic wake-up call to cut back the hurry, step back from the worry, and take back the waste of time and energy stolen by the enemy. Discover how simple, everyday acts of service can jumpstart your spiritual maturity and position you to receive the eternal harvest of blessings God has prepared for you.KEY TAKEAWAYS:- Redefining Your Community: True community service isn't just about your inner circle; it means intentionally contributing to the common good of the everyday people you share spaces with—neighbors, coworkers, and strangers alike.- The Law of the Harvest (Galatians 6:7-8): God's justice cannot be mocked. Sowing to the flesh via ego, comfort, or self-centeredness yields temporary decay, while investing your time and energy into the Spirit reaps a lasting, eternal life.- Overcoming the Three Obstacles: To effectively serve, we must actively battle self-centeredness expressed through Hurry (which blinds us to others), Worry (our fear of vulnerability and rejection), and Waste (throwing away valuable time on digital distractions).- The "Ministry of Small Talk": You don't need a massive platform to share Christ's love. Simple, intentional interactions like greeting a neighbor or asking about someone's day carry the literal presence of the Holy Spirit into a disconnected world.- 5 Practical Ways to Engage: Move from stagnation to active obedience by choosing to be a good neighbor, volunteering for local causes you care about, giving meaningful time (beyond just writing a check), stepping into local civic leadership, and committing to consistent prayer for your community.

Air Date: 7/7/2026 Today we use the 2026 World Cup to pull everything that runs under the game up into the light. Nearly a quarter of the players are representing a country other than the one they were born in, praised as national heroes when they score but scorned as foreigners when they lose. The history of colonialism built the machinery that turns immigrants into targets, and the results are playing out live around this year's tournament, in the towns that throw their arms open and the borders that slam shut, in who a country will claim and who it leaves outside.

Kalina Silverman, founder of the global Big Talk movement, joins Zibby to discuss her inspiring new book, BIG TALK: How to Skip the Small Talk, Make Meaningful Connections, and Enrich Your Life. She shares how her own loneliness sparked a decade-long mission to help people forge deeper connections through meaningful conversations and offers practical tips for becoming more approachable, asking better questions, and building community in an increasingly disconnected world.Zibby also chats with Lu Chekowsky about her whip-smart, deeply personal, and wildly entertaining memoir, DON'T BUY WHAT I'M SELLING: On Breaking Up with Advertising and Finally Learning to Love My Whole Fat Self. Lu reflects on a career at the highest levels of the advertising industry, the burnout that nearly cost her her life, and the complicated relationship between media, body image, grief, and self-worth. Together, they explore the power of using your own voice, redefining success, and finding healing by finally listening to your body.** Want more? Become a part of my community!

The FBI just foiled a mass casualty terror plot targeting Americans at the White House — and TikTok helped recruit the killers. You need to watch this before it gets buried under the next news cycle. Five Americans have been arrested and charged after the FBI disrupted a chilling multistate plot to attack the UFC Freedom 250 event on the White House South Lawn. We're talking explosive-laden drones targeting buildings to force a mass evacuation — then a pre-staged sniper team waiting for the crowd. A second wave was allegedly planned to storm the White House gate. This wasn't some vague threat. These people had Signal chats, aerial maps, sniper positions, escape routes, and $3,000 in gear. They called themselves "Vanguard of the Old" — and they used TikTok to recruit. Here's what's wild: Investigators identified 23 people in the planning network. Only five are charged so far. The FBI learned about the plot partly because a 19-year-old suspect's OWN MOTHER called law enforcement. She noticed her son spending his graduation money on ballistic plates, ammo, and plate carriers. That detail alone should tell you everything about what was almost lost that day. We also cover: Did Trump just SNUB Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Keir Starmer? Explosive leak: 14-point memorandum of understanding with Iran exposed. JD Vance vs. "The View" (aka "The Coven"): Fiery showdown you have to see. McDonald's brings back the beloved fried apple pie to celebrate America 250. Hillary Clinton throws Joe Biden under the bus: “He made a terrible mistake.” Drop a comment: Do you think TikTok should finally be banned after this? YES or NO — Pat reads every single one. And honestly — does it surprise you that the mainstream media barely covered this? Tell us below. If you want the stories the legacy media hopes you never see, subscribe to "Pat Gray Unleashed."
