The boogeyman is back! This past Friday afternoon, Kendrick Lamar surprised us all with his sixth studio album "GNX".

It's been a controversial week, to say the least! We kicked off with Nate recapping his weekend with The Chamber taking over NYC and the Broccoli City Festival in D.C. In the past week, Lil Yachty stirred up waves with his latest comments on hip-hop (24:30) and leaking a song with Drake without getting permission from the artist they sampled (38:00). We discussed Drake teasing a collab album with PartyNextDoor (47:30), Kanye's unfinished Vultures 2 release (54:00), and Tory Lanez latest single that he recorded and released in prison (1:02:00).Kamala Harris' "Blackness" has also recently been questioned by her political opponent, Donald Trump (1:10:00). In an effort to clear up any confusion, we took it upon ourselves to create the "official" Blackness test (1:15:30). Who asked? Nobody. Should you take it seriously? Probably not, but we did it anyways for sh-ts and giggles. We also reacted to the transphobic attacks and gender controversy surrounding Imane Khelif's participation in the Olympics women's boxing (1:35:30), and the reveal of Robert Downey Jr. being casted as Dr. Doom in Marvel's upcoming movies (1:49:00).

With the presidential election coming up, we reacted to the presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, shared our thoughts on the polarizing presidential race, the hopelessness young voters feel, and the current flaws of our political system.

The host, Bryan, acknowledges that sex is an important part of marriage for most men as a way to show love and feel loved by their spouse. However, many men struggle when their sex life declines or their wife no longer desires sex as frequently.Bryan outlines some of the main reasons why men have difficulty talking about sex:It requires being vulnerable, and men tend to take any criticism or complaints personally.People have biases and differing beliefs around certain sexual acts like oral sex, bondage, etc. which makes those topics awkward to discuss.There is shame and taboo around discussing sex from societal conditioning that sex is "dirty."Men were never taught to properly advocate for their wants/needs, especially something as intimate as sex.There is a fear of rejection, as men have likely been turned down for sex many times before in the relationship.The host suggests that rather than making assumptions or turning to pornography out of frustration, men need to have open conversations with their wives about sex. He provides example questions to help start the dialogue, such as asking about sexual experiences growing up, acts they would/wouldn't want to try, times of day they prefer sex, and if there are any past negative experiences impacting their sexuality.Ultimately, the most challenging part is simply asking "Would you like to have sex?" But Bryan encourages men to overcome the awkwardness and shame to advocate for their desire for intimacy and connection through sex. He offers his coaching services to help men improve their ability to discuss these topics with their wives. Take the Next Step and Get Coached - https://www.relaxedmale.com/coachingoffer

First off, what does the Bible say about serving two masters? Wait, you may say, this has nothing to do with serving two masters! But it does, you cannot serve a secular humanist ideal and God at the same time. Secularism at its core IS Humanism. Now, to what the Bible has to say on this matter, Matthew 6:24: “No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” Now, Secularism came out of the 1800s during the zenith of the enlightenment. For those who are fuzzy on what the enlightenment entailed, this name is given to the era that elevated the notion of Reason, either God's or Man's. The European Enlightenment focused on Man's Reason, while the United States focused primarily on the notion of God's Reason. In the 20th Century, the Christian Enlightenment sent men to the Moon, and missionaries and aid to the nations. The Secular Enlightenment sent Jews to the ovens and dissidents to the gulags. We also have the Secular Enlightenment to thank for “Critical Theory”, Utilitarianism (modern prisons), Marxism, Nazism, Facsism, Stalinism, and more. Some Questions from each avenue of thought:Theology: Was Jesus a Secularist? What does the Bible say about religion and politics? Well, first off, please note that the Sanhedrin was the political leadership of Christ's time. While Christ did not start a Maccabean revolt, Christ also was not silent on the issues of the day. He regularly sparred with the Sadducee faction that was the majority seat holder in the Sanhedrin. Paul also played politics when he pitted the two parties against each other in Acts 23:6. “But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.” Christ spoke of overbearing taxes in Matthew 17:24-27 “24 And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute? 25 He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers? 26 Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free. 27 Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee. and in Matthew 22:20-22 20 And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? 21 They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's. 22 When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.” In context, both of these have different meanings, but neither of them support the idea that Christ was some how a Secular Humanist who believed that the man made state was in a moral authority above God's. Rather instead these verse support the doctrinal principle that Christ was answering each situation in a way that furthered the Gospel. Peter and the Apostles retorted to arrest by the Sanhedrin in Acts 5:29: “We ought to obey God rather than men?” This along with the Standard of Romans 13:1-7 set a rubric for the Christian to follow: “13 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. 2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: 4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. 5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. 6 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. 7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.” From the Chair of Philosophy one must ask can the worship of Man's Wisdom coexist with a submission to God's Wisdom? 1 Corinthians 3:19 says: “For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. “ Remember why they want you to live a Secularist life: If you're silent about your beliefs, then they are free to espouse theirs. Secular Humanism is almost an oxymoron in this one point: It is a religious conviction. Now, Man may be God, effectively, in their religion, but this does not make this any less of a faith statement. On the note Culture, what kind of Culture does a Secularist Christian create? Pew Research shows us the aftermath of a society that is inhabited by Secular Christians: https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2019/10/17/in-u-s-decline-of-christianity-continues-at-rapid-pace/ The further we get away from an outwardly Christian lifestyle, the further our culture slides. Christ said that we were to be the Salt and Light. In Matthew 5:13 it says: “Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.” From the Economic side of things, we should note that we only have so much time on this Earth. What are we valuing when we choose to live a life that is devoid of Christ in public. Some Christians fall into the trap of a false sincerity, this is not what I'm referring to. We need to be about the business of discipling. Are we not bought with a price? We must be prepared to die for Christ, let alone be discomforted. We are bought with the blood of Christ, too precious of a price to waste our lives being secular. They aren't afraid to speak of their religion, why should we be? Simply maintain a Christ like tenor in a bold Daniel like lifestyle and the Holy Spirit can bring revival.

How long does it take to walk the Camino? Well, that depends. In this episode we are going to continue on with our Camino planning roadmap, still working with step four, spend some time thinking about what you want. This episode is a big one. A really big one. By that I mean that it's a bit on the long side. But also, I think it's an important one, as this is where we really begin to design the Camino experience that suits you perfectly. If you have been following along with this podcast series, then you should, by now, be fairly certain that you do want to walk the Camino. You should have some idea of when you would like to go, what season you would like to walk in, and when a Camino walk would fit into your life. Ready to book your flights? Mmmm . . . almost. This episode will get you much closer to that point, I promise. Before we dive in, you may want to have a map handy. I will be talking about all the different Camino routes that lead to Santiago, and it may be helpful to see them on the map to give you a sense of how grand the task before you is. I will also be doing some basic mathematical calculations, so you might want to have a pen and paper nearby, too. To answer the question “how long does it take”, we first will need to answer the question of what “it” is. What do I mean by that? Find out in this episode of the “YOU on the Camino de Santiago” podcast. Some Questions to Ponder Here are the questions I pose at the end of this episode: What would constitute a ‘real pilgrimage' by your standards? How much time do you want to take for your Camino? How many miles or kilometers will you need to walk each day to complete the walk in that time frame? Is that doable, or will you need to adjust your timing or expectation? How much time do you want in your starting and ending points? How many rest days will you plan for? When you add it all up, how does it feel? In case you are ready to pick up a guidebook for your walk, here are the most popular ones. Related: Ready to start looking for flights to Europe?

When we start off as freelancers, it can be easy to take on an every-man-for-himself philosophy. We feel like we're working solo and don't need the same team-oriented spirit we might have otherwise. But as creatives, this attitude only serves to alienate our collaborators when we should be doing everything in our power to make the process as smooth and stress free as possible—both for ourselves and everyone else involved.Welcome to episode nine of the Freelance Founders podcast.

Do you set daily goals for your practice or training? When you practice or train do you let your emotions take over? Can your high levels of commitment spoil your enjoyment?

Some Questions about the Old Testament

Psychological Safety at Work sounds a GREAT idea! BUT! Some Questions for Amy Edmondson + others... Psychological Safety at Work is a concept developed by Amy Edmondson Novartis Professor of Leadership and Management at Harvard Business School. Many of the practices that she says will support the development of a sense of Psychological Safety at work are reflected in mediation skills practices, which is not surprising given that some of the ways Professor Edmondson characterises the concept is 'permission for candour', accepting mistakes or even failure in teams, acknowledging our own fallibility, framing work as a learning problem rather than an execution problem. All of these characterisations resemble the purpose of mediation as a process that supports creativity in response to conflict, seeing it as an opportunity for learning, change and growth. BUT, in this video and podcast, Alan shares some questions about the 'reality' of being able to create or support psychological safety at work. In much that is said about this concept there remains little about the actual practices and behaviours that leaders and teams and organisations use to introduce it. This risks the possibility that it remains a 'great idea' but does not prove practical to implement without clarity about what these behaviours need to be and why. There also seems to be a lot of emphasis on 'leaders creating' psychological safety but little about how others also need to be involved in this, and recognition of policies that limit the wider possibilities across an organisation for psychological safety to become part of its culture. Here is the link to the video on youtube from which this podcast is taken: https://youtu.be/FkWNh8i6oZQ Please share your thoughts and questions in the comments section. Alan Sharland has been a Mediator and Conflict Coach for over 27 years working in a wide range of dispute situations including neighbour disputes, workplace disputes, complaints (NHS, Special Educational Needs, University Student), group disputes and others.

Once again the issue of publisher versus platform resurfaces, with the recent censoring of a New York Post Article tied to a US Presidential candidate. This has unintended consequences in our ecosystem when a platform (ie: Facebook and Twitter) behaves like a publisher, forcing the direction of a narrative based on ideologies of a few. On this weeks episode, we discuss the many dangers this has on the entire social, economic and political ecosystem. The political and social risks Big Tech platforms are bringing onto themselves is expanding at a rapid rate. Actions like censoring articles have negative unintended consequences on the ecosystem because it only further enhances division. Some Questions to consider Is it not fair to want the ecosystem itself to clash and figure out its path forward collectively rather it being forced into a direction? Is it fair that the principles of free speech are not respected through the social platforms? Should the principles of our physical reality dynamics not be reflected in our social networks? Seems far more optimal of our ecosystem to simply abide by the same principles in both the real world and the online world..

As a researcher, he is one of the world leaders in the development and use of multimodality cardiovascular imaging.As part of the leadership team at Mount Sinai, Dr. Zahi Fayad talks about the unique challenges that he faced from the perspective of a research hospital.

When overwhelmed with too much to do or you realize you aren't spending enough time in client acquisition / revenue generation activities, you just might need to consider being a better delegator. Some Questions to Ask Yourself as it relates to delegation are: • Does delegating make sense for me to grow my business? • Does my business have the revenue to delegate? If not now, when? • How much time am I spending on tasks that are slowing my growth? • What should I look for in employees/contractors? • Should they be virtual or in-house? • How would I feel to not have to do administrative tasks or things that don't directly relate to generating revenue and growing my business? Big-name businesses didn't get to the point they are at today by the owners or executives doing everything themselves. They implemented the art of delegation when the time became necessary to take their business to the next level. Delegation is the ideal way to grow your business without having to take on more responsibility and sacrifice your personal time with your family or doing what you want to do.

Hello there, This episode is a special interview I had with Chude Jideonwo, Founder of Joy Inc. and Co-Founder of Redmedia. We looked at certain issues and attempted to answer some questions. This is an audio excerpt from a live show hence you might experience breaks in-between. Some Questions asked : People experience a crisis at individual levels but what we have at the moment is global. How do we find ourselves in the midst of all these? What is your understanding of Joy and how should it reflect? Social Media has played a great role in the lives of youths. Do you think there’s somehow in it for us in moments like this? How do you deal with emotions? What is emotional intelligence to you? In December, you wrote an article calling Naira Marley a cultural icon, in spite of his vulgar lyrics and defiance to any kind of authority.

  Today, I'm gonna to tell you about my very favorite book… *Spoiler Alert* … it’s NOT one of Russell’s ;-)   There's a really important lesson that goes along with this… so make sure you don’t skip any of this… or you won’t get the payoff.   I'm psyched to tell you about this book... because it literally transformed my life.   I've only ever shared the story of why this book is so powerful and important in a few select places. At OfferMind (my own event right back in November...  you guys can get tickets now at offermind.com),  I finally recorded the strange story of how this impactful book came into my life.     … so, y'all ready?   THE TWO VOICES   The game's hard for a while, right? You're proving yourself to... life, existence, God, the universe, the market, EVERYBODY…   You’ve decide,  "I want this cool thing? Sweet!”   Then, for a while, the path tends to be:   Objection   Objection   Objection   Constraint   Constraint   Constraint   ...Right?   If you’re at that stage don’t worry about it. Start publishing about your journey… ‘cause funnily enough, those are the things that people will follow you for.   For me, it was around business try #8... that was the time when things started to get me down. It was rough, man!     I was one of the only people in the entire world,  besides Russell, that I even knew who was doing this... and he didn't know who I was.   I didn't know how to describe what I was doing to other people well. So it kinda got lonely.   Crap was kinda hitting the fan for me mentally.   I was trying to stay true my mission, but I had two voices in my head:     I know it's there. This is going to be super. I just need to keep going.     But man, am I just being stubborn? Should I get a job?     ...You know what I mean?   There was this conflict back and forth: “Is it really there... or am I just believing in a mirage?” And that's when a lot of the self-doubt started to creep in…   MARRY THE PROCESS   Although things were still tough, there was this moment where I started learning enough that I would kinda get in fights with my marketing professors...   And for whatever reason, at that moment, things started turning for me.   When you declare what you want and start walking towards it, things begin to conspire for you.   It doesn’t mean that there won’t be opposition... but most people aren't even willing to declare what they want publicly, in a big enough for things to conspire in the first place.   Declare your intent and stuff will begin to happen for you, and for your sake... I believe it's God. That moment had NOT quite happened yet for me, but it was close.   89 CENT BEAN BURRITOS...   I was sucking it up on several different business attempts, and life was really challenging.   I was:   Broke   In the Army   Studying in College   Married   A father   It was a lot...   My wife and I, would go to like a Taco Bell, or somewhere like that for our date nights because 89 cent bean burritos were all we could afford. It was fun…     But it was extremely humbling... and a constant reminder of what I wasn't.   Papa Larsen realness coming out here...   As I started trying my next business, I was excited. I told Princess Babe (my gorgeous wife) about it... and she wanted to believe in me.   But it was challenging…   And when she asked, "Is this the one?"   On the outside, I was, "Yeah, babe. I'm your man. I will provide." But I wasn't providing at all. We were living off loans, and it was really tough.   Then one day, EVERYTHING changed...   THE MAN   It was a grey rainy day, and I’d just finished the most boring class on earth, #Quantitative Economics... Man, it sucked!     As I walked to my next class my head was full of doubts and questions:   Crap, is this the one?       I wanna feel like a man.       I wanna provide.       I wanna be her man.       Am I good enough for this?       Maybe I’m NOT good enough.?       Maybe I should go get a job?       But $8 an hour won’t pay the bills.       Should we keep living on loans?     All these doubts and questions were running through my head… the noise was intense.   Have you ever have felt the noise? It was like, "Shut up… I can do it… but am I psycho?"...       Is this the one?     I don't know if this is going to work? “I don't either.”   Let's put money on it. "Are you serious?"   Let's go get money for ads! “What? We can barely eat…” A lot of my passion comes from this situation because I know a lot of guys are still there... and I want to get you through it.   All these voices were competing in my head as I walked. Suddenly, I see an old gentleman (who I'd never seen before) sitting on a park bench. It had just stopped raining... and (super-cheesy straight out of a frickin movie), the clouds part...   He was sitting on the bench reading a book, and the dude was just wearing wealth. Just so filthy freakin’ rich. You could just tell.   I'm still some way off when a limo pulls up in front of him.   This dude with an unnaturally straight posture gets out of the car, walks around the front, opens the car door, and does a little half-bow…   I was starting to get a little bit closer now…   The older gentleman stands up, and they exchange looks. You could tell they knew each other. Maybe he's been his driver for a while... I don't know, but I know there’s a history.   They exchange a few words, then the older gentleman starts to get into the limo…   By this time I'm getting pretty close..,   And as the driver starts to close the limo door, something in me, out of sheer desperation, made me run…   I ran ‘cos I wanted it.   I ran full speed and slammed my hand in the door right before it closed... which hurt...I wanted him to know I was there.   I was like, "Hey, what's up? I know you don't know me". Then I asked, "How did you get this? I'm sure you get asked it a lot. How did you get all this?".   Once he realized that I wasn't going to hurt him, he stopped, looked me straight in the eye, and said, "Yes, a lot of people ask me that".   I said, "How do you do it? It's not that I'm not trying... I'm launching, I'm doing the stuff. What is wrong? Other people have success and I'm don’t. I'm the variable. What is wrong with me? What is it?"   He looked at me for a moment, then he reached down, and handed me a book. Then he said, "Read this".   It was the book that he’d been reading on the bench before the car pulled up.   He said, "If you will read this for 20 minutes every day... and then spend the next 40 applying it, you will not recognize your life in two years."   I was like, "That's super random... the clouds parted. Maybe that was a message?” It was so cool.   So I spent the next year; 20 minutes reading the book, 40 minutes applying. 20 minutes reading, 40 minutes applying... I spent the whole year like that.   And, in one year, just as he promised, stuff started happening in my life.   I stopped looking at the clock and I stopped judging my self-worth based on how fast that guy or this lady achieved success.   I stopped looking at the clock, and I just put my head down.   After that day, I didn’t see him again for quite some time… That was four years ago!   Four years ago, he handed me the book and drove off.   MY GIFT TO YOU   Since being in Russell's world, I have a lot more connections... my Rolodex has grown a lot, and eventually, I managed to trace the guy who so generously changed my life with that one book.   I reached out, and said, "Hey man, just so you know, that was a huge deal to me".   Since then, we’ve been in communication quite a bit now, which is really fun, and when I told him my story he said that I could give each reader of my blog a copy of his book... which is really exciting. I know right? It's awesome!   I’m a very slow reader, so I asked if I was licensed to read and record the book. He said, “Yes.”   So I have:   An Audiobook for you   A Checklist so you guys can make sure that you're implementing correctly.   Since then, he and I have gained quite a relationship and he wants to do a private event in about six months from now.   It's going to be in his house, so it’s ONLY OPEN to 20 people.   It’ll be an event with him and me where we'll actually apply EVERYTHING you learned from the book.   It's gonna be in 6 months from now; so that you’ll have time to read the book and follow the checklist. Sound good?   So you guys get the:   Book   Audiobook   Checklist   Opportunity to attend a private event for 20   Sound good?   Who's ready to buy something?     BUT FIRST, SOME QUESTIONS… (...and a confession)   What did I just do with your emotions there?     Do You want the book?     By the way…   That's all fake. I’ve read that book in my life. It’s just a random one off my shelf.   THE MORAL OF THE STORY   Q:  Why do you want the book?   A: *THE STORY*   Everything about how you sell has everything to do with the story you tell.   All of that was FAKE...   But when I told the story at OfferMind, and asked: “Who wants the book?” Even people who’d heard the story before raised their hand.   Let me ask you…   Q: Did you feel more of a connection to my wife because of that fake story?   Interesting, isn't it? The power of story is a huge deal. All of that was fake. None of that happened, but yet you probably felt a connection   Q: What about the story makes it so impactful?   A: I painted your exact situation.   Q: How did I know that?   A: Because I've been there... I know my red ocean customer. I know you. I know the stories you've been in. I know the scenarios you're in. A lot of it is because I've been there as well.   If you understand your red ocean it allows you to craft a story for your sales that connects emotionally with your ideal customer.   A purple sales message Did I talk about the chapters in the book? No! But people still wanted it.   Too many people are like, "Oh, I gotta build this last feature in my offer to make it sell”.  No! That's NOT what makes it sell.   The sales message is what sells. It has nothing to do with the product. It's all about the story selling. Story is the sales mechanism. The product just fulfills on its promise.   That's what’ll make you scratch the itch and go:   "Oh my gosh, I remember that chapter he talked about". Even though I didn't.   "Oh, this chapter is amazing. I remember the backstory. I wonder if this is what he was reading on the bench?"  Even though I didn’t mention that at all   You begin to romanticize certain elements of the product.   So when you see the product for the first time, you're like, "I know the backstory behind this feature. I know why this was such a big deal".   It is one of the most common things that I run into when I'm coaching people... "Steve, I haven't launched yet, because my product's not done"... *WRONG*   It has nothing to do with the product.   STORY SELLING   We often use product development as a logical excuse, (although it is NOT), for why we haven't launched. It's, “How I can sell something that isn't yet made?”   Take the money. It's NOT bait and switch. Your customer knows the product isn’t  made yet... and then, once the market has voted with their wallet, then you go make it.   I call this the purple sales message... the power of it is that you’re able to test a whole bunch of stories that allow you to make your product with security rather than risk…   Don’t want to spend 8 months building a product (as I did my first time) that isn’t market validated.   Russell sent me a message saying, "Dude, you've got to stop telling that story. They're not gonna believe you when you actually go sell something".   That's the point I'm trying to help you guys understand that this is how stuff is sold. It's got nothing to do with the product.   No one gives a crap about your features. It's not the reason why someone buys.   You can still obsess and over-deliver for your clients and your customers. I believe in that…   BUT do it with the understanding that this is NOT what puts money in your wallet.   What puts money in the wallet is the sales message. Products never sell themselves. The sales message and product are two separate and independent assets   Boom! If you're just starting out you're probably studying a lot. That's good. You're probably geeking out on all the strategies also, right? That's also good.   But the hardest part is figuring out what the market wants to buy and how you should sell it to them, right? That's what I struggled with for a while until I learned the formula.   So I created a special Mastermind called an OfferMind to get you on track with the right offer, and more importantly the right sales script to get it off the ground and sell it.   Wanna come?   They’re small groups on purpose so I can answer your direct questions in person for two straight days.   Hold your spot by going to OfferMind.com. Again, that's OfferMind.com.

Episode 42 - A Response to Some Questions by CrossViewRadio

Our San Francisco Real Estate podcast turns to title insurance and escrow this week, and to try and make a relatively dry topic a bit more interesting, we decide to do what we do every day for our clients - question that answer! But first, Matt looks in the mirror after a bad podcast performance and a quick review of our stats reveals how very popular game shows are.[00:54] With the Jargon Jeopardy episode being one of our most popular episodes, and us not wanting to get a letter from anyone's attorney for using a trademarked term, Matt was inspired to come up with a new name for our most popular game show that's a lot like that one with Alex. Question That Answer seemed like a great description because, as we chat about, it is how we help our clients.[02:35] We also believe it is not only important to get answers, it is also important to understand them. This is where Britton's experience as a high-school teacher (or is it her past life as a private investigator?) comes very useful![04:07] Introducing our next topic of escrow and title insurance with the Inaugural round of Question That Answer. Some Questions we cover are: Title Insurance, Title Insurance Companies, Escrow. As a side note - how Escrow is handled in California may vary from your state, and this show is for entertainment purposes![08:32] So, how many title insurance policies do we need? Do you have to have it if you are paying cash? What if we’re paying cash and don’t want a title insurance policy? What about if we are not using cash and are getting a loan from a bank instead?[10:23] Britton explains the difference between the lenders policy and the owner’s policy of title insurance. We’ve been talking about defects, liens, encumbrance and easements but what do these all mean and what are some examples? Britton shares the story of a San Francisco story (perhaps a true story) about a Glen Park home with a major easement for a utility company....Thank you for joining us for part 1 of this episode.

In this episode of Tales from the PROS, I chat with Michael Brenner is a globally-recognized keynote speaker, author of the bestselling book "The Content Formula" and the CEO of Marketing Insider Group. He has worked in leadership positions in sales and marketing for global brands like SAP and Nielsen, as well as for thriving startups.  Michael and I talk about how he best automates social media content and distribution for efficiency and time saving. We also discuss best practices in B2B digital marketing, how to create the best content for targeted reach and engagement, how to get the best ROI from your content as a B2B company, and much more.    Some Questions asked:   I gotta ask you this question Michael, I see that you must be crazy busy being a CEO of your company, speaking at large marketing conferences, coaching people and companies, and I am sure you're planning on writing another book, haha. With that being said, how on earth do you find the time to continuously post such great content all over various social platforms? Do you have an automated approach, is it your team, or you do it manually? To kick things off, I want to talk about your journey as a content marketing expert and what truly inspired you to do what your doing now. Did you find your purpose when you were back in college? What is considered good content for B2B companies? What is bad content?  You will always hear people talk about developing a marketing plan or a marketing strategy. Can you explain the difference between them?  Is there a specific process that B2B companies have to go through to actually see a large positive impact on their video and written content? What are your thoughts on paid content vs. organic content? I feel like it's so much harder nowadays to reach and engage an audience through organic content unless your a large public figure or brand. What are your thoughts on having the right empathy and intent behind your content? In my experience, your audience can definitely sense your motives. This is something everyone wants to know, in your experience, how do you get an ROI from good content? Where do you feel content marketing is headed in the future? As we all know that technology is evolving like AI, automation, video. Is there anything people need to be concerned about? What are some of your top tips that B2B organizations need to know when trying to reach and engage their audience? Tell me about your book.     High Level Questions (Broad): IF you can explain, what were some of your main struggles that you went through to becoming an expert in the marketing space? What advice would you give to B2B marketers so they don't make the mistakes that you've encountered from others? CLOSING: I always ask the THREE HOW'S: How do you define failure? How do you define entrepreneurship? How do you define success?   Follow Michael Brenner: Website - https://marketinginsidergroup.com/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelbrenner/   Twitter - https://twitter.com/brennermichael   Follow Michael Georgiou: Podcast Website - https://www.talesfromthepros.com  Company Website - https://www.imaginovation.net  Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/TalesfromthePROS/  Twitter - https://twitter.com/MGeorgiou22   Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/the_mgeorgiou/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJv9pbImovknEluSLzAPTpg/featured   

In this episode of Tales from the PROS, I chat with world renowned House/Trance legend known as Jaytech. As the warmup DJ of choice for Anjunabeats leaders Above & Beyond, he’s also a seasoned DJ who’s played clubs in every corner of the world, and visited nearly every festival you could imagine including Tomorrowland in Belgium and Electric Zoo in NYC. Also, in his Anjunadeep 02 and Anjunadeep 03 compilations, both of which reached #1 on the US iTunes dance albums chart. Jaytech and I talk about his inspiring journey as a DJ and signing with popular record label Anjunabeats and his experiences in touring with global Trance icon Above & Beyond. We also chat about how Jaytech built a personal brand as a DJ and the struggles associated with it, the process of signing with a huge record label, collaborating with other top artists. In addition, we discuss Jaytech's new entrepreneurial venture called 'Positronic' and much more.    Some Questions asked:   To kick things off, I want to talk about your journey as a DJ and music producer. Essentially you started in the trance scene when you were 14 years old? Tell me about that. What's it like to break through the noise and clutter in the industry and making branding yourself to be known in the scene? You signed with one of the best trance labels out there called Anjunabeats, what does it take for a DJ to be seen and signed by such a popular label? it can't be just luck or being at the right place at the right time. Explain the process you have to take collaborating with other top artists? Does the label kind of choose them or you have the freedom to reach out? We all know you've established pretty much your own name and brand, are there any tips and advice you can give to aspiring DJ's in order to brand themselves properly? I gotta ask you this question, what's it like opening for Above and Beyond and collaborating with them? So, James the next step it seems for you is building your own musical community. Regularly showcasing new artists on your ‘Jaytech Music’ radio show and podcast, which is listened to by tens of thousands every month, and you also established Positronic, which mentors up-and-comers in the studio. Can you explain this venture and what inspired you to start it? High Level Questions (Broad): IF you can explain, what were some struggles you had to go through during the journey to now, and how did you overcome them? What advice or tips would you give future DJ's and aspiring producers in the electronic music scene? What character traits would you consider the most important in being a successful leader in the music scene? Do you feel that having business knowledge and being entrepreneurial is essential?
