Hey friends, Chase here If you're a creator who's ever wondered why someone with "less talent" seems to get more opportunities… this episode is for you. Because here's the truth: being great at your craft is only the price of admission. It gets you in the door. But what happens after that? That's where your career is made. In today's micro-show — Craft Is the Entry Fee — I'm talking about the things that matter most in the work you do… and the things that matter just as much in the way you do it. The stuff you can't always point to on a resume. The stuff you can't show in a portfolio. The stuff you can't always "prove" — but everyone can feel. Because what you can't see matters. The Big Idea Let's start with a reframe that will save you years of frustration: Great work is the "get in the door" fee. Yes — you have to be good. You have to practice. You have to care about the craft. You have to put in the reps. But if you're trying to get hired, land clients, build long-term relationships, or get re-hired again and again… then your craft is only one part of the equation. Because hiring isn't just about output. It's about the total package someone brings to the table: experience, energy, passion, intensity, positivity, wisdom, technical knowledge… and the unspoken, unmeasurable stuff that shapes every interaction. What You Can't See (But People Hire For) Here's a vivid example from the episode: Imagine you're an art director or a client. You're going to spend ten days on set with a photographer or director. Now ask yourself: Do you want to spend ten days with a jerk? No. You don't. And neither do they. You might be incredibly talented. Your work might be objectively excellent. But if you're difficult, unpredictable, late, disorganized, or hard to trust — the next job goes to someone else. And it's not personal. It's practical. People hire to solve problems — and they also hire to reduce risk. The Basics Are the Differentiator This is the part creators often skip. We obsess over craft (and we should). But we forget the simple things that determine whether someone wants to work with us again: Are you hard working? Are you enjoyable to be around? Are you on time? Can you deliver on budget? Do you exude integrity and thoughtfulness? Do people feel confident and safe around you? Those are not "nice-to-haves." Those are career builders. I call them "the basics." You might call them the X-factor. Whatever you call them, they're real — and they matter. Soft Skills Are Still Skills This is one of the most important reminders in the episode: Soft skills are still skills. They can be learned. They can be practiced. They can be honed. And the best part is: you don't need to be born with them. You can build them the same way you built your creative ability — with intention, repetition, feedback, and self-awareness. What You'll Hear in This Episode This is a quick micro-show, but it's packed with reminders that hit hard — especially if you've ever felt overlooked or undervalued. Why craft alone isn't enough to get hired (or rehired) What hiring decisions really include beyond talent Why being "good to work with" is a competitive advantage How reliability and integrity compound over time Why people always notice the invisible stuff — even if they don't name it Timecodes (So You Can Jump to What You Need) 00:00 – Weekly email sponsor message 01:50 – Intro: "what you can't see matters" 02:14 – Craft is the "get in the door fee" 03:19 – Hiring is about the total package 03:51 – The "ten days on set" thought experiment 04:11 – "Do they want to hang with the jerk?" 05:02 – The basics: hard-working, enjoyable, on-time 06:00 – Hiring is risk management (and values) 06:35 – Soft skills can be learned and practiced 08:11 – Closing: share the show / community Read This If You're Trying to Break Through If you've been grinding on your craft and wondering why the opportunities aren't matching the effort — don't assume you're not talented enough. Instead, zoom out. Ask: What is the experience of working with me? Because whether you like it or not, your "work" isn't just the deliverable. Your work is also: how you communicate how you handle stress how you collaborate how you show up when things go wrong how you make people feel while you're doing what you do And the wild thing is… even if you think these things are invisible, people see them. They notice. Questions to Ask Yourself If you want to turn this episode into action, sit with these questions for five minutes: When someone hires me, what "total package" are they getting? Am I making it easy for others to trust me? What do I do when I'm under pressure — and who does it affect? What's one "basic" I could level up this week (timeliness, communication, follow-through)? If I were the client, would I rehire me? A Simple Practice for Building the Invisible Edge Here's a small practice you can run this week — no big life overhaul required. Pick one reliability habit. (On-time delivery, clear communication, proactive updates.) Make it visible. Tell a client/collaborator what they can expect from you. Do it consistently for 7 days. No exceptions. Reflect. Notice how it changes your stress, your confidence, and other people's response. The goal isn't perfection. The goal is to strengthen the part of your creative career that most people ignore — until they're forced to learn it the hard way. Final Thought Yes: work hard on your craft. But don't forget the rest of the package. Because you might think of these things as the things "you can't see"… but I promise you: people see them.

When Fellisia Robinson was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, everything started to make sense. In this episode, she talks with Laura about what it was like to finally get answers later in life. For years, she struggled with burnout. She felt relentless pressure to achieve — like she always had to prove herself. Her diagnosis helped her understand herself in a new way and then rethink what productivity even means. Fellisia shares what it was like growing up as a first-generation eldest daughter and navigating corporate spaces as a Black woman. She talks about perfectionism, masking, and choosing soft productivity over constant hustle. Along the way, she's learning to slow down and give herself grace. And she's seeing ADHD as a doorway to self-awareness and strength, not a limitation. Fellisia is the founder of Brown Girl ADHD, which provides education and community for Black women and women of color with ADHD.

Less Annoying CRM is soft launching two major features we've been working on for months. This episode dives into that and a bunch of other stuff.
What if healing — and becoming who you're meant to be — doesn't happen through pushing harder… but through softening?In this episode, Anna is joined by Chelsea Emery, a chronic pain and symptom recovery coach who recovered from 45 years of migraines, along with a cascade of other debilitating symptoms, using mind-body and nervous-system-informed approaches.Chelsea is also a recent private coaching client of Anna's and a member of the Seen & Safe community, and this conversation offers a rare inside look at the identity shift that often unfolds alongside healing: letting go of an old career, releasing pressure-based patterns, and stepping into a new way of working and living — without repeating the same burnout cycle.Together, Anna and Chelsea explore the deep parallels between chronic pain recovery and stepping into visibility, leadership, and a new professional identity. Chelsea shares how journaling, emotional expression, nervous-system safety, and allowing support helped her heal — and how those same principles now shape the way she supports others.This is a conversation about healing, yes — but also about permission. Permission to soften. Permission to receive support. Permission to stop earning your worth through pressure.In this episode, we explore:What it's like when chronic symptoms pile up and your world starts to shrinkHow Chelsea recovered from decades of migraines and other unexplained symptomsWhy autonomy and choice are essential for nervous-system healingThe role of journaling and emotional expression in recoveryThe grief and identity shift that can come with leaving a meaningful careerHow fear shows up during visibility and career transitions (and how to work with it gently)Why baby steps often create faster, more sustainable change than pushingThe overlap between mind-body healing and entrepreneurshipWhat “softening” actually looks like in real life — and why it isn't weaknessChelsea's core message:Soft doesn't mean weak. Softening is a strength. Connect with Chelsea Emery
Microcosmos Records presents Ride The Cosmic Wave, the new album by Síntese. Síntese is the solo project of Paulo Oliveira from Guimarães, Portugal. Previously known as part of the psytrance act Spectra, Paulo stepped away from the project in 2014 and spent several years immersed in shamanic practices — a period that quietly reshaped his creative direction. Síntese emerged in 2018, rooted in openness, improvisation, and a desire to move beyond genre boundaries. Ride The Cosmic Wave is his tenth album. The music is created in the moment — hypnotic, gently experimental, guided more by feeling than by formula. Soft cosmic textures and slowly evolving harmonies settle into a space between deep listening and gentle motion, unhurried and borderless. Each track carries its own quiet intention, leaving space for the listener to travel freely. Put on Ride The Cosmic Wave and drift through the sound world of Síntese.
In 1997, 17-year-old Kristen finished her first year of college at North Carolina State University, but after classes ended, she had no plans to enjoy a lazy summer. Instead, she devised a plan to take another class across the country in California… A few short months to enjoy the Golden State and gain some independence as she entered adulthood. She was smart, ambitious and had a solid plan. But just 23 days after she landed in California, she disappeared. Kristen Modafferi was 18 years old when she was last seen at the Crocker Galleria Mall in San Francisco, California, on June 23, 1997. She is white with brown hair and brown eyes. At the time of her disappearance, she was 5'6” and weighed approximately 140 lbs. She may have been carrying a green Jansport brand backpack with a black mesh pocket on the front.

President & CEO of The ChemQuest Group. Previously, as VP of Corporate Strategy at Milliken & Company When it comes to billion-dollar deals, success depends less on how much analysis is done and more on how clearly the organization aligns around what truly matters. In this episode of the M&A Science Podcast, Robert Lovegrove, President & CEO of The ChemQuest Group. Previously, as VP of Corporate Strategy at Milliken & Company, shares how one of the company's largest acquisitions was shaped by focus, discipline, and internal alignment. Rather than overwhelming the process with more diligence, leadership centered the decision around four core questions that clarified risk, built conviction, and guided a confident go / no-go decision. Robert also explains how adjacency-based M&A reduced execution risk, why trust mattered more than price in winning the deal, and how treating culture as a deal consideration—rather than an integration afterthought—helped unlock long-term growth. What You'll Learn in This Episode How to create executive alignment in high-stakes M&A decisions The four questions that anchor go / no-go decisions at scale Why adjacency-driven M&A improves confidence and execution How trust can outweigh price in competitive deal processes Why culture should be treated as a deal risk, not an HR issue This episode offers a practical perspective for M&A leaders navigating complex decisions where clarity and conviction matter as much as valuation. Listen to the full episode to learn how strategic focus can define billion-dollar outcomes. _____________________ This episode is brought to you by the M&A Science Intelligence Hub.

“Soft life” looks good on Instagram… but is it realistic for a Black girl who was raised to be strong, independent, and ten steps ahead of survival?In this episode, Shaneé and Destiny get real about what a soft life actually means to us. Is it luxury? Is it rest? Is it being provided for? Or is it unlearning the grind culture that told us exhaustion is a badge of honor?We talk about whether softness is truly attainable for Black women or if we've been conditioned to believe struggle is our default setting. Shaneé shares what softness looks like in her current season, while Destiny challenges the idea that soft means passive. We unpack finances, relationships, femininity, boundaries, and the guilt that can come with choosing ease.Because maybe soft life isn't about silk robes and rich husbands. Maybe it's about peace. Maybe it's about saying no. Maybe it's about not having to be the strong friend all the time.And maybe the real question is… are we ready to let it be easier?
During today's unfiltered breakdown of President Trump's record-length 2026 State of the Union address, Chris Cillizza and Matt Lewis dive into the following:— “Dems can only win by cheating”: Trump's explosive claim echoes 2020 rhetoric— setting stage for midterm fraud narratives if Republicans lose the House?—Faces in the crowd & medals: Heavy on patriotic moments, but is it genuine or weaponized theater?—Democrats' response: 70+ boycotts, protests (Rep. Al Green escorted out), awkward non-applause on “protect citizens first” — smart strategy or optics disaster?— Immigration theater: Trump forces “stand if you agree America first” moment — Democrats seated; perfect for attack ads?— Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger's rebuttal: Solid, low-key Democratic response — focuses on affordability, avoids overreach. — Epstein files withheld: NPR reports on missing pages/allegations against Trump (minor abuse claim from 2019 FBI interview) — why the cover-up? — Media & low expectations: Soft bigotry of low expectations — Trump didn't go full chaos, so “he did great”?

Most Men Aren't Ready For Real Violence and Here's Why. The World Needs Dangerous Men (Not Soft Ones) Most Men Aren't Ready For Real Violence (Here's Why) Strength without skill is just theater. In Episode 2 of The Dangerous Man, we tackle a hard truth: muscles don't make you dangerous—precision does. Some men bark. Others fold. Both are untrained, and both are a liability. But a man who's trained? He's calm under pressure. Dangerous in all the right ways. In this episode, I'll give you the exact roadmap to start combat training—from mindset to methods—and show you how fighting builds the self-control, humility, and spiritual strength every man needs.

In this hard-hitting 17-minute special edition of The Right Side, Doug Billings breaks down the jaw-dropping viral clip that has already racked up over 20 million views in 24 hours.California Governor Gavin Newsom — the multi-millionaire wine-country Democrat eyeing 2028 — stood in front of a largely Black audience in Atlanta and tried to “relate” by saying:“I'm like you. I'm no better than you. I'm a 960 SAT guy… You've never seen me read a speech because I cannot read a speech.”Doug delivers the no-spin analysis you won't hear anywhere else: this isn't empathy — it's textbook soft bigotry of low expectations. Hear the full quote, the instant backlash from Ted Cruz, Nicki Minaj, and millions of Americans, the historical roots in the Great Society, and why this moment is waking people up across every race and background.From lowered standards to “equity over excellence,” this clip perfectly exposes the condescending mindset that has dominated the modern left for decades — and why normal Americans are rejecting it in bigger numbers every single day.If you're tired of politicians talking down to voters, this is the episode you need to hear — and share.✅ Hit play, then share it with one friend who needs to see the truth the mainstream media won't touch.✅ Subscribe and turn on notifications so you never miss the analysis that cuts through the spin.The Right Side with Doug Billings — Real talk.

0:00 - Do Canada hockey fans understand how sports hate and sports trash talk work? Because those hosers to the North have been pretty soft on social media these last few days. 14:13 - The Nuggets have a turnover issue. That much is clear. But the issue isn't how often they're turning the ball over. It's about WHEN they're turning it over.27:39 - Oh, by the way...Lindsey Vonn came THIS close to getting her leg amputated.

"I am like you. I am no better than you. I'm a 960 SAT guy... you've never seen me read a speech, because I cannot read a speech. Maybe the wrong business to be in."Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) attempts to relate to a black audience by telling them he got a mediocre SAT score and can't read very well. This goes over about as well as you assume it did.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Have you ever found yourself flat? Not depressed. Not ungrateful. Just… disconnected from the life you're building and completely unable to explain it without sounding like you're complaining?That's the funk. And nobody talks about it honestly.In this episode, Laura gets real about what it actually feels like to be in a season where nothing is technically wrong but nothing feels fully right either — and why all the advice you're getting (gratitude lists, "just get back to basics," good vibes only) is making it worse.This isn't a toxic positivity episode. This is the conversation your best friend would have with you if she was also doing the work.In This Episode:Naming the funk — what it actually feels like to be in that in-between place where you're not broken but you're not lit up either, and why it's more common than anyone admitsWhat doesn't work — calling out the wellness culture advice that sounds good but leaves you feeling worse for not "bouncing back" fast enoughWhat actually helped — the real, unglamorous nervous system work, routines, boundaries, and communication shifts that moved the needle in hard seasonsThe reframe — why the funk isn't the enemy and what it's actually trying to tell you about what needs to shiftQuotes From This Episode:"You're not starting over. You're starting honest.""The funk isn't a sign that something is wrong with you. It's information.""Nobody's coming to save you from this season — but you don't need saving. You need clarity."Ready to Stop Editing Yourself Down?If this episode hit home, Unrelatably Relatable is for you.

In today's episode of The Alan Sanders Show, Alan dives into the "soft bigotry of low expectations", from Gavin Newsom's pandering in Georgia to white liberals dumping down speech and code-switching for minority audiences, backed by a 2018 Yale study. He contrasts this patronizing mindset with Trump's consistent, high-expectation approach. Plus, explosive hypocrisy in blue cities: NYC's Zohran Mamdani demands multiple forms of ID (including photos and Social Security card) to shovel snow during a blizzard, yet Democrats fiercely oppose voter ID laws. We also unpack ongoing tariff policies and their impact on America First economics. Plus, a gold medal win for USA Men's Hockey and the Left hates, once again, their display of patriotism and love of our country.

CBS Business Analyst Jill Schlesinger talks about the lackluster job creation numbers in the US. She attributes some of those weak numbers to AI.
Psychological safety is often described as a “soft” leadership concept — something rooted in feelings, kindness, or culture. But that's not what it is. In Episode 673 of Daily Influence, Brian Smith reframes psychological safety as a structural performance system — not a mood, not a personality trait, and not an abstract cultural aspiration. When leaders see silence, hesitation, disengagement, or operational breakdown, the issue is rarely personality. It's structure speaking. In this episode, Brian explores: Why safety is a performance system — not a feeling The hidden link between fear, silence, and operational inefficiency How leaders unintentionally reward the very behaviors they later try to correct What feels cultural is often structural. You don't hope for psychological safety. You design it. Because structure is leadership.

On the morning May 3rd, 2002, 7-year-old Alexis Patterson was very excited about going to school. Alexis was already a good student, she got straight A's and prided herself on her perfect attendance record. But this day was going to be very special. The night before, she and her mother Ayanna Patterson, purchased cupcakes for her to bring to her first-grade class. But when her mother realized Alexis had not finished her homework, she told her she was no longer allowed to bring the treats to her class. Frustrated, Alexis packed up and got ready to make the short walk to Hi-Mount Community School. The school was just 242 steps from her front door, but her mother or stepfather usually walked with her anyway. That morning, her stepfather LaRon Bourgeois walked with her. When they got to the end of their street, they met a crossing guard who walked Alexis to the other side of the street to the school. What happened next and even parts of what I've already told you is highly debated among LaRon Bourgeois, witnesses at the school and law enforcement. What we know for sure is that Alexis went missing that day. To complicate matters further in 2016, 14 years after Alexis went missing, a man came forward claiming his ex-wife was the missing girl. Since then, Ayanna Patterson has believed her daughter is not missing but alive and well, unable to believe the truth of her identity. But some detectives are certain that the answers about what happened to Alexis will be found closer to home. Alexis Patterson was 7 years old when she went missing from Milwaukee Wisconsin on May 3rd, 2002. At the time she was 3ft 8 inches tall and weighed approximately 42 pounds. She was last seen wearing a red hooded jacket with a gray stripe on the sleeves, a purple shirt, light colored blue jeans, and white Nike tennis shoes. She wore her hair in two braids pulled back into one ponytail and was carrying a pink "Barbie" book bag. She has black hair and brown eyes. She also has a scar under her right eye and a bump on her left pinky finger. There is a $10k reward being offered for information that leads investigators to Alexis. Anyone with information is urged to call their local FBI office. You can also submit a tip anonymously online at Tips.FBI.Gov. This episode originally aired on May 5, 2022.

The NBA followed the NHL All-Star model of “them against us.” The league delivered an entertaining and competitive foursome of games that have been unanimously praised. Is it enough to save the format? Dre Baldwin, Steve Kim, and Jay Skapinac join the show to provide the answer. They also discuss Victor Wembanyama and Anthony Edwards, who were at their best. Are they the new faces of the league? Kevin Durant was burned twice yesterday: his poor ASG play and the release of the leaked message he sent via an X burner account.
