Welcome Questions – Treat them as a sign of engagement, not challenge. Smile, thank the person, and show openness. Pause Before Responding – Take a beat to think. It signals confidence and helps you avoid rambling. Clarify if Needed – If a question is unclear, repeat or reframe it: “So you're asking about…” Be Concise and Focused – Give clear, to-the-point answers—don't drift into a second presentation. Bridge Back to Your Key Message – Even if the question is off-track, connect your response to your main theme. Handle Tough Questions Calmly – If you don't know, be honest: “That's a great question—I'll follow up.” Engage the Whole Room – Repeat the question (briefly) so everyone hears, then answer to the audience, not just the asker. Set Boundaries – If time is short, let people know you'll follow up offline for longer discussions.End with a Strong Close after Q&A is over so you wrap it all up in a bow instead of it trailing off, plus you want to remind people what you talked about so it ends with YOUR strong point, not the energy from the last question asked. Some resources for you:Project more confidence and credibility with my free tips: 9 Words to Avoid & What to Say Instead: https://karenlaos.com/words-to-avoid/My book “Trust Your Own Voice”: https://karenlaos.com/book/Episodes also available on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEwQoTGdJX5eME0ccBKiKng/videos Karen Laos, Communication Expert and Confidence Cultivator, leverages 25 years in the boardroom and speaking on the world's most coveted stages such as Google and NASA to transform missed opportunities into wins.

This week we're talking about the woman who went from a little Gucci dress to a global fashion empire: Victoria Beckham. Known to the world first as Posh Spice, Victoria perfected the art of the pout while quietly becoming one of the most fascinating figures in pop culture. From Spice Girls chaos and WAG tabloid drama to her reinvention as a serious designer, she's mastered the long game of fame. Was she “too posh to smile”, or just too busy building an empire? We get into the gossip, the glamour, and the girl who turned “Posh” into a lifestyle.

The conversation dives into Vision Pro updates and Apple's latest security patches, including a quirky “malicious font” bug. From there, the panel dissects an FCC leak that revealed a refreshed Vision Pro with an M5 chip—sparking jokes about the government “protecting secrets by giving them away.” Debate follows on whether Apple's reported pivot to AI-powered smart glasses is a strategic win or just creepy. Jason Snell's VisionOS review gets praise as thoughtful and balanced, while the panel adds their own takes on environments, widgets, and gaming controller support. iOS 26.0.1 and watchOS 26.0.2 are unpacked, addressing iPhone 17 connectivity and battery bugs, while macOS Tahoe gets flak for lingering Electron app slowdowns. Jeff delivers a mini public service announcement about Slack, Discord, and Trello devouring system memory. The panel shifts gears to Wallet app delivery tracking, which impresses some while frustrating others with inaccurate status updates. A lighter segment celebrates Apple finally adding seven new ringtones, prompting stories: Marty blasting Brick House in a faculty meeting, Jill rocking '80s ringtones, and Jeff's Futurama theme drawing smiles in public. Other highlights include:     •    CarPlay Ultra controversy — Ford pushes back, Jill's Subaru story about passengers killing her map, and Chuck's take on carmakers clinging to “unique” interfaces.     •    Privacy screen protectors — Jill recalls spying underwear ad designs on a plane, Jeff insists “just don't show sensitive info in public,” and Marty questions if this “solution” solves a problem at all.     •    Market trends — iPhone 17 Pro demand surges while the iPhone Air lags, with trade-in deals and China demand influencing sales.

A lady driving from Washington, DC, to Richmond had a flat tire and sat stranded by the roadside praying for help. Two cars passed by—one with a “Smile, God Loves You!” bumper sticker, the other reading “Honk If You Love Jesus!”—but both drivers moved to the far lane without stopping. Then a man in an old pickup with no bumper sticker pulled over, changed her tire, and refused payment, saying he hoped someone would help his wife if she were stranded. Three men drove by that day, but only one chose the right side of the road. How can you know which side you would be on? Comfort is found on the wrong side of the road; compassion is found on the right side of the road. Through Jesus' parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10:25–37, discover that when you have a heart for God, you'll have the heart of God—a heart of compassion that shows love with no limits to a world desperately needing mercy.

Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #638 is an hour of visionary acoustic improvised music played by The Gaea Star Band with Mariam Massaro on vocals, Native flute, ukulele, dulcimer, harmonica and double flute, Bob Sherwood on vocals and piano and Craig Harris on congas and Native drum. Today we are delighted to be joined with the very talented brothers Chris and Rob Griffin, with Rob playing fiddle and mandolin and singing and Chris singing and handling acoustic guitar duties. Recorded live at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts in mid-September of 2025, the band eases into the show with two raga-like numbers from Mariam, “Smile” and “Happy I Am”. Rich and deeply improvisatory, “Smile” is driven briskly by Mariam's energized vocal and chiming dulcimer while Rob provides color with his fiddle and Chris and Bob provide a compelling plagal cadence framework on acoustic guitar and piano. “Happy I Am” continues the “Smile” lineup, supporting Mariam's the lovely, simple lyric of this exemplary, beautiful song from Mariam. “The Ballad Of Belfast Bay” is a fantastic folk waltz from the Griffin brothers with Rob on lead vocals and fiddle and Chris on acoustic guitar and Rob harmonizing as only brothers can as Craig, Mariam and Bob provide musical support. Chris takes the lead on his original number “Way Out West With A.T. Doe”, a driving minor country rock song featuring epic fiddle work from Rob and fine contributions from the ensemble. Next up is Mariam's “Room Of Doubt”, a blues rock number that smolders with Mariam's fine vocal and powerful work from the ensemble, particularly from Rob who picks up his mandolin for the smoldering workout. “Room Of Doubt” opens into a gorgeous coda with Mariam conversing with her sweeping, evocative Native flute over affecting piano ostinatos from Bob that veer from classical to fatfinger blues and gorgeous violin runs from Rob Griffin. Chris Griffin steps back up to the mic with his beautiful, soulful “Set Her Free”, a fine 70s-soul-flavored ballad with sensitive, additive contributions from all, particularly Rob with his bittersweet violin lines. “Pele” is a powerful island song by Mariam that the band sets on fire to a degree that would impress its namesake with bottomless enthusiasm from the ensemble and “Gypsy” is another exemplary song from Mariam cast by the band as a moonlit Romani reel filled with soaring violin runs and incendiary piano. The song detonates into a powerful, driving coda as Mariam's vocal and then her eerie, midnight double flute overtones dance with Rob's violin above the racing, yet focused and emphatic ensemble. A highlight. Bob comes forward to close the show with his rock gospel number “Coming Home” delivering a powerful vocal over a hypnotic, minimalist ensemble sprinkled with compelling violin lines from Rob and affecting, lilting vocalisms and Native flute from Mariam.

The panel kicks off with VisionOS 26.1, noting Apple's suspicious lack of release notes and testing new immersive films like the MotoGP documentary, Red Bull's skiing adventures, and even a BBC Proms experience. Dave also demos guest mode for Vision Pro with a co-worker, who was blown away by a Metallica immersive video. Next, they dive into iOS 26.1, iPadOS, and macOS Tahoe updates, highlighting live translation in AirPods Pro 3, Safari tweaks, and the long-awaited digital passport in Wallet—sparking a hilarious debate about whether TSA, Minnesota, or cable companies would ever accept it. The group then compares the Apple Watch Series 11 and SE3, praising brighter screens, sleep tracking, and health sensors, while joking that “Series 0 was basically an hourglass.” Marty even admits wearing his watch to bed for the first time. Conversation shifts to the iPhone 17's 18MP front camera, with its auto-rotate and zoom selfie features. Jill cracks that selfies are how people “die of bear attacks,” while Eric recalls tugging on demo phones in Apple Stores until the security cords screamed. Other highlights include:     •    AirPods Pro 3 fit battles (with Marty suggesting ear reshaping via screwdriver)     •    Repairability improvements spotted in iFixit teardowns     •    CarPlay connectivity bugs (solved with wired connections, or defended as “protection from the Cylon invasion”)     •    NCAA teams adopting iPads over Surface Pros (“Surface: best used as a coffee stand”)     •    Disney Plus price hikes and streaming bundle frustrations The episode wraps with speculation about Apple's ecosystem direction and plenty of laughs, blending serious tech analysis with classic panel humor.

Jimmy Kimmel got headlines when he was suspended — but what about the women who've been silenced for speaking truth on TV? From Hazel Scott's jazz-and-justice to Bea Arthur's Maude, from trailblazing journalists to feminist comedians, women who dared to push boundaries have been canceled faster than Trump changes subjects .In this episode of Bitchstory, Kelly and Lisa dig into the women who risked everything for free speech, feminism, and civil liberties — and paid the price. From blacklists and advertiser boycotts to Twitter mobs and corporate fear, the tactics change but the punishment stays the same.The First Amendment protects against government censorship, but not against networks, sponsors, or platforms pulling the plug.

A Journey Toward Self-Transcendent Leadership In January 2023, I began a long-term goal to earn a Master's degree. Initially, my intentions were to learn, grow, and yes, to "check that box" that I had a Master's degree. While I did all three of those things, earning my degree in December 2024, what really happened is that I examined my leadership, who I was, who I was becoming, how I impacted others around me, and how I wanted to lead for the rest of my career. As I look back, I learned that enabling others to thrive was a core part of self-transcendent leadership. When I enrolled in the Gonzaga University Master's of Organizational Leadership program, I would not have described myself as selfish. Yet through my coursework and reflections, I learned I had several self-embedded leadership behaviors. As I looked more closely, I learned that these behaviors stifle or inhibit others' growth and development. By learning how to be more self-transcendent, focusing on others, and the greater good of the organization and people, a few things happened. Firstly, I became a more effective leader. Secondly, I enjoyed work more. Thirdly, I experienced more positive organizational outcomes. In this episode of the PCS to Corporate America Podcast, I share some of my journey, explain why being self-transcendent is so important and necessary, and the steps we can take immediately to be less selfish and more serving of others and our organizations. Self-Transcendent Leadership: Going Beyond Yourself In transitioning from the military to a business leadership role, it's easy to focus on personal goals—promotions, achievements, recognition. These are not bad. However, as leaders, our greatest impact comes when we go beyond ourselves. Self-transcendent leadership, inspired by Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning, means pursuing purpose beyond personal gain—serving others, creating excellence for its own sake, and finding meaning even in challenges. Why It Matters In Business We all live and work within organizations: companies, teams, boards, and communities. Leaders profoundly shape whether these organizations enable people to flourish or become stifling. In our work organizations, where we spend most of our waking hours, leaders have a duty to create environments where team members feel valued, engaged, and able to use their talents. This responsibility is especially critical for those making the leap from military service, where purpose and camaraderie are deeply ingrained. Practical Ways to Lead Beyond Yourself Self-transcendence doesn't require grand gestures—it's built in everyday moments. For example: Be present in conversations. Show genuine curiosity about your teammates. Smile and greet people each morning. Offer a word of encouragement or practical help, like bringing someone coffee. And when tough decisions arise—such as giving candid feedback or reorganizing a team—lead with honesty, kindness, and a commitment to the other person's long-term good. Questions to Guide Your Journey To Self-Transcendent Leadership Ask yourself: How do I want others to be different because of my leadership? What do I need to let go of to lead for others, not just myself? As Frankl wrote, “It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expects from us.” In your transition to business, consider—what does your organization expect of you right now, and how can you answer with leadership that transcends self-interest? The Cameron-Brooks Mission Our mission at Cameron-Brooks is to help guide officers through the transition and accompany them along the journey to de-risk the process of transitioning to the civilian world and help them reach their goals. We aim to equip JMOs with the tools and the necessary reflection and preparation required to successfully transition into leadership developmental roles that will allow them to use their talents and skills to lead teams and organiza...

I'm back …. Already! Make sure you head back and listen to part 1 and 2 before this episode! This part was recorded on September 22, and is a check-in on where I'm really at in my monthly goal setting journey. After starting the month feeling expansive and aligned, I hit a point where I felt discouraged, uneasy, and honestly a little anxious. I even experienced the Sunday Scaries for the first time in years.I share openly about: ✨ The pressure I felt as the end of September approached ✨ How I slipped into controlling energy by obsessively checking analytics and my bank account ✨ The lies I started telling myself ~ that I wasn't capable, smart, or worthy enough ✨ What happens when we stop honouring ourselves and our goals ✨ Why divine timing and the universe's rhythm with time are so important to rememberThis is another tell-all episode ~ because I know how common it is to feel wobbly when you're working toward something big. My hope is that it reminds you you're not alone, and that the dips are part of the journey too. If you've ever felt the weight of your own expectations or the fear that you're not “enough,” this one's for you. Let it motivate you to keep going, trust divine timing, and continue honouring yourself on the way to your dreams. I'm SO excited to come back for a little ‘review' on this ‘behind the magic' series, which was a little accidental to be honest! Thank you so much for listening.

This episode is a little FUN & different! I'm taking you behind the scenes of my own September challenge. I set myself three personal goals around career, money, and meditation, and created journal prompts to help me call these manifestations in within the month. Throughout the episode, I share openly the ups and downs I experienced, the changes I made when I realised I was stuck in negative ruts, and how quickly everything shifted when I decided to take aligned action. (P.s. I've ended up breaking this episode up into parts, as you'll see from the title! Part 2 will be coming soon and is me only a few days after this episode!)My hope is that this inspires you to create your own version of this challenge for October (or whatever month you're listening in). It's never too late to start fresh, reset your energy, and bring in the magic you've been craving. Isn't it refreshing and exciting to remember that WE HAVE A CHOICE?! EEEE! We literally hold the power to make positive change in our lives, and we can! Immediately.In this episode, you'll hear: ✨ How I identified the habits and thoughts that were holding me back✨ My three goals for the month ✨ The exact journal prompts I used to support my goals ✨ The instant shifts I noticed when I committed to change ✨ Why small, consistent steps can create big manifestationsThis episode is real, raw, and a reminder that you hold the power to create the momentum you've been waiting for. I can't wait for you to listen and hopefully join me in your own monthly challenge!Connect with me and share your stories in the Facebook community (link below) ~ let's keep inspiring each other to dream big and make it happen.JOURNAL PROMPTS I USED BELOW: ACTING AS IFHOW WOULD I FEELACTIONABLE STEPSMAGICAL PRACTICESVisit Pass Around the Smile here!Join my Facebook community group here!Find me on Instagram@passaroundthesmile@cleomasseyFind me on Tik Tok@cleomassey_The Pass Around the Smile podcast is recorded on Bundjalung Country, in South East Queensland, Australia.

Behind The Magic - Part 2! Here is my manifestation retreat link!! If you haven't already, I highly recommend listening to Part One first ~ it will give you all the context and inspo to dive into this series with me.In Part Two, we're only four days into September… and wow, this month already feels expansive. I share with you some incredible little miracles that have popped up already (yes, this is a full tell-all), as well as a hilariously embarrassing situation that I found myself in. But the best part? The way I responded to it ~ which actually turned out to be such a gift and a reminder of how quickly things can shift when you're open to growth.This series is all about showing you the real behind-the-scenes of manifestation ~ the good, the messy, and the magic. I honestly can't believe how much has happened in such a short time… and we're only just getting started. Stay tuned for Part Three!Spoiler alert - Things aren't as positive in part 3, ha! But I'm taking you along the journey and as always, I am being as realistic as I can as I know this helps you within your manifestation practices.Cleo xxx Visit Pass Around the Smile here!Join my Facebook community group here!Find me on Instagram@passaroundthesmile@cleomasseyFind me on Tik Tok@cleomassey_The Pass Around the Smile podcast is recorded on Bundjalung Country, in South East Queensland, Australia.

Pressure is a privilege, family. Everybody want the rewards, but not everybody want the weight that comes with it. Pressure means GOD trusted you with something worth carrying. The market gon' test you—stocks drop, portfolios bleed, emotions flare. That's pressure. But instead of folding, you see it as a privilege—because pressure shapes diamonds, pressure builds discipline, pressure reveals who's truly ready for freedom. In the streets, pressure expose the weak, but it also elevate the ones who can handle it. Same thing in this wealth game. Pressure ain't punishment, it's preparation. Every setback, every red candle, every challenge is proof that you're in the game, that you're chosen for growth. So embrace the pressure, don't run from it. Smile at it, because it's a privilege to even be in position. Pressure creates legacy. Pressure creates Freedom.
