TRANSLATING THE SOUND AND METER OF VIRGIL Colleagues Scott McGill and Susanna Wright. The translators explain choosing iambic pentameter over dactylic hexameter to provide an English cultural equivalent to the original's epic feel. They describe their efforts to replicate Virgil's auditory effects, such as alliteration and assonance, and preserve specific line repetitions that connect characters like Turnus and Camilla.

Wally shares the haunting inspiration behind the story—a blend of the Mexican legend of La Llorona and the heartbreaking reality of backover accidents—and how his own experiences with addiction, parenting, and teaching writing to incarcerated women shaped the emotional core of the book.

“Merry Christmas, Emily” David Lowery does so many things, his CV needs a sequel. He's a professor, a mathematician, a writer, a musician, a producer and an entrepreneur. He's also the singer of two of my all-time favorite bands: Cracker and Camper Van Beethoven. Let's start with the former. Lowery formed Camper Van Beethoven when he was a student at UC Santa Cruz in the early '80s. I was so obsessed with Camper Van when I was in high school I cut class to buy their new album--but I had the wrong day, so I cut class the next day to get it. Totally worth it, by the way. Camper Van Beethoven put out a handful of genius albums likeOur Beloved Revolutionary Sweetheart and Telephone Free Landslide Victory before temporarily disbanding in 1990. Lowery didn't miss a beat and formed Cracker with guitarist Johnny Hickman and they put out a handful of genius albums like Kerosene Hat and The Golden Age, logged a #1 Modern Rock track with "Teen Angst (What The World Needs Now)" and scored three platinum albums. This is only a partial history, by the way; but I would recommend reading up on both bands because they have fascinating histories.Lowery has produced everyone from Counting Crows to Sparklehorse, founded Sound of Music studios, was a seed investor in Reverb.com (), knocked out his PhD and was named a Global IP Champion by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. A ferocious advocate for artist's rights, among other things, Lowery launched a pair of class actions alleging major streaming services had failed to properly license and account to independent songwriters. Lowery currently teaches the economics and finance of the music business at the University of Georgia.An authentic career-spanning collection that boasts re-recordings, demos, b-sides and live takes that have never been heard, ‘Alternative History: A Cracker Retrospective' is out now. It's a deep and privileged dive into the rich and vast Cracker cataloge and to say it's a treat falls short of the mark. It's a musical treasure chest. Cracker are touring now and will be on the road at the beginning of 2025 and Camper Van will be playing dates as well. www.crackersoul.com Www.bombshellradio.com www.stereoembersmagazine.com www.alexgreenbooks.com IG: @Emberspodcast editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

Pre-order my new book: https://amzn.to/4oZUgpa The results are in: women are more dissatisfied in their relationships than men are. However, before we interpret this as yet another signal that men need to “do better,” we need to ask ourselves: are women more satisfied out of their relationships? In reality, there is a host of evidence to suggest that women exhibit lower satisfaction than men in a variety of contexts – suggesting that their relationships may not be the issue. Are men to blame for women walking away – or is there something else going on?

You've got a client who's ready to work with you—they've paid for their first session and now you're feeling those pre-session nerves. Sound familiar?In this episode, we talk about what's really going on in your client's mind when they show up for that first paid session (hint: they're probably more nervous than you are). I share the exact structure I use to make sure every client leaves their first session feeling heard, hopeful, and clear on their next steps.From creating a warm welcome that puts your clients at ease, to helping them see their full financial picture (often for the first time), we cover how to make your first paid sessions truly valuable for your clients. I share my biggest mistakes and what I learned from them, so you can skip the trial and error phase I went through.Plus, I walk through our follow-up system that keeps clients engaged and taking action even after the session ends. Whether you're new to paid sessions or looking to make your current process even better, this episode will help you create an experience that has your clients saying “they get me” and ready to take the next step in their journey.Links & Resources:Ultimate Growth GuideJoin the Facebook groupEpisode 91Key Takeaways:Want your clients to open up about money? Start by acknowledging their courage - it takes guts to share your finances with a stranger and pay them for help.Trying to solve every financial problem in one session isn't generous, it's overwhelming. Pick their most exciting goal and solve it completely.Your clients can sense when you're in your head worrying about delivering value. Their emotional rollercoaster is 10 times bigger than yours.Numbers tell a story, but you need to narrate it out loud. Walk clients through your thinking process so they can see how you got to the solution.The magic isn't in telling clients to spend less, it's in finding their big goal that makes them excited enough to actually change their habits.When a client shares multiple money goals, celebrate internally. They're showing you they have a genuine need for ongoing coaching, so don't try to tackle all those goals at once.Your follow-up system is a safety net that catches clients before they fall off track. Make it systematic but personal, like checking in when reality and procrastination typically hit.

We reflect on the first season of a new TV series that explores Stephen King's clown-centric horror universe, check out a decorative piece of technology for Christmas that will invoke some arcade memories, and play the early preview of a Zen-like game where the goal is to restore vintage electronics.

“I said, ‘this is a tsunami that is coming, and I'm either going to be crushed by it and drowned under it and it's going to destroy everything I've built, or I'm going to learn to surf the big waves, and I'm going to do whatever I have to do to surf this wave,' which is what I did sort of at the dawn of online video. I was sort of one of the first probably one hundred agencies in the country that were consistently making online video back in 2008 or 2009. So was a brand new thing, right? And so, I just decided, okay, I'm going to do that again. And once I made that decision, I actually got excited again, and my entrepreneurial instincts kicked in, and it was not fun. I sort of had to set off a grenade in the middle of my own business and say, okay, I'm going to start over.” – Wil Seabrook This episode is the second half of my conversation with singer, songwriter, and Light Touch Media Group's founder and chief creative Wil Seabrook as we talk about where the AI revolution is leading the music industry, the one mistake small-business owners and freelancers make when it comes to finding clients, and how a retro-themed ad campaign made a splash in the TikTok era.

(0:00:01) - Navigating AI in Changing Business LandscapeThe second half of our conversation picks up with a look at AI's growing impact on the music industry, and where Wil sees it all heading. “I am an eternal optimist as a person,” he explains, “and so I think we are in so many ways we're actually headed for a golden age. I think we're going to solve a lot of logistical problems, a lot of medical and health problems.” He tells us more about how we might eventually get to that point, and some of the hurdles we'll need to overcome, and the role human artists have to play. “It needs artists, it needs creative people guiding it, shaping it,” he says. “If you're going to change the system, essentially change it from the inside. I think that's very important.”(0:10:29) - Evolution of Technology in BusinessWil shares the biggest mistake he sees when working with voice talent: “The number one mistake that I see small business owners of all kinds make, but this absolutely goes for voiceover artists [and] other types of creative people, they just don't promote remotely enough.” He offers his tips on getting your name and brand out there as an artist, and the value of human creativity, even if it seems like AI can do it all. “If you have an innate talent that moves people,” Wil says, “that people gravitate toward, it's special and it's worth cultivating. It's worth persisting, it's worth learning and stumbling and scraping your knees and getting back up again, because that's not a gift that everybody's given.” Episode SummaryAI's impact on the music industry, and how business models have begun to adapt.How COVID-19 democratized audio production and where things might be...

Economists like to model people as rational creatures who make self-interested decisions. But humans don't act that way. Why do investors, politicians and ordinary people act against their best interests – and how can they be nudged into making better decisions? To find out, FT economics commentator Chris Giles speaks to Richard Thaler, the founding father of behavioural economics. Thaler is a professor at the University of Chicago who won the 2017 Nobel Prize in Economics for his work on how humans make (often irrational) decisions.This is a repeat of an episode published on The Economics Show, a sister podcast of Behind the Money, on November 7, 2025.

What if the real problem isn't your work ethic? What if it's that nobody ever taught you how to run a profitable business?   You went into business to make a difference. To take care of your family. To build something that matters. But somewhere along the way, the dream turned into a grind. You're exhausted, stretched thin, and wondering why success still feels so far away.   Sound familiar?   Neeka Williams felt the same way. As the practice administrator for a urology company, she was doing all the "right" things—showing up every day, solving problems, keeping the wheels turning. But she kept asking herself: There has to be more to this, right?   In this episode, Brandon sits down with Neeka to talk about her year inside the Profit Planning Network. This isn't a story about magic formulas or overnight wins. It's about finally having a framework that fits who you actually are—and a community that keeps you accountable to your own goals.   You'll discover: Why most business advice fails entrepreneurs who think differently (and what to do instead) How understanding your "financial archetype" can change the way you plan, save, and grow The one shift that let Neeka walk away from her business for a full week—without anything falling apart Why emotions in business aren't a weakness, but actually a guide to your next move What happens when you stop being embarrassed about needing help and start treating business like the skill it is   Key Quote: "People don't go into business to fail. You go into business to be profitable, to make a positive impact, to pass on a legacy. You just don't know how—and what Wall Street says and what the business gurus say hasn't been working." — Neeka Williams   If you've been feeling like you're running on a hamster wheel and wondering when it gets easier, this conversation is for you.   Resources mentioned: Find Your Flow Quiz — 10 questions to discover your financial personality Financial Nervous System Diagnostic — A deeper 54-question assessment Profit Planning Network 2026 — Join our community of business owners building profitability and wealth Urology Consultants, Inc. — Neeka's practice (and a reminder for the guys to get checked!)   00:00 Welcome to Wealth Wisdom Financial Podcast 01:01 Introducing Neeka Williams and Her Journey 01:41 Joining Profit Planning Network 04:35 Experiences and Insights from PPN 13:12 The Role of AI in Business 19:11 Understanding Emotions in Business 20:36 The Importance of Reflecting on Feelings 21:59 Who is PPN For? 23:08 Balancing Sales and Expenses 25:15 The Value of Certification and Experience 28:48 The Role of Profit Planning 32:11 Encouraging Regular Health Check-ups 34:29 Final Thoughts and Enrollment Information   Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/cDBONHEVILA

Income-focused investing may seem old-school in a world dominated by total-return portfolios and model ETF allocations—but for some retirees, predictable cash flow is the key to peace of mind. This episode explores how a differentiated investment philosophy, rooted in individual income-producing securities, can become a powerful engine for both client trust and firm growth. David Scranton is the CEO of Sound Income Group, an RIA based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, overseeing $4 billion for 10,000 client households. Listen in as David shares how he constructs income-focused portfolios using combinations of what he calls "insured options" and "contractual securities", as well as high-dividend equity instruments with a focus on individual securities rather than mutual funds or ETFs. You'll learn how steady cash flow has led to greater client retention in down markets, David's "four keys" to attracting clients, and why narrowing his investment focus (and creating systems to implement it) has ultimately allowed him to serve more families.

"Ellen's First Christmess" (December 17, 2001) Yes, we're closing 2025 with a lump of coal rather than a sugarplum fairy. Believe it or not, Ellen Degeneres had a second sitcom between her first one and her reign as the iron-fisted queen of daytime. It's mostly lost in the shuffle today, but we're taking a look at her Christmas episode to point out how she chose to shut up about her sexuality this time around. Was it worth it? No. See you in hell, 2025. We have episode transcripts courtesy of Sarah Neal. Our logo was designed by Rob Wilson. This episode's art was designed by Ian O'Phelan. Sound cues for this podcast were composed by Meika Grimm.

While hosting a live event and podcast recording in Los Angeles, everything that could go wrong technically did. Screens failed, sound went out, and hundreds of people were waiting. Instead of panicking, I dropped into a deep theta state meditation and followed intuitive guidance from Spirit. What happened next reminded me that manifestation is not woo woo. It is about belief, coherence, and embodying the frequency you teach. If you have ever wondered whether it is truly possible to create results in the exact moment you need them most, this episode will completely shift how you see your own power.I also guide you through the exact meditation I used to turn chaos into clarity, layered with sound frequencies designed to help you access the quantum field through the frequency of love. I explain why love is the fastest way to manifest, how to strengthen your belief muscle, and how to move from talking about manifestation to actually living it. Whether you are seeking clarity, healing, confidence, or a breakthrough in your business or relationships, this episode offers a grounded and embodied process for creating in real time. If you are ready to deepen your manifestation practice and experience tangible results, this guided meditation and teaching will meet you exactly where you are.IN THIS EPISODE:(0:00) Introduction to manifestation and energetic alignment(1:01) Season 3 announcement and what's coming next(1:43) Holiday health tips to protect your energy and frequency(3:36) A real-time manifestation story unfolding in the moment(5:09) The live event challenge that tested trust and surrender(15:12) Guided manifestation meditation to anchor your desires(26:51) Closing reflections and a powerful invitation forward

Special re-release! To close out the year, we're counting down the Top 10 most-listened-to episodes of 2025. Coming in at #9: Zibby's interview with Adriana Trigiani. Enjoy!New York Times bestselling author Adriana Trigiani returns to the podcast to discuss her effervescent and big-hearted new book, THE VIEW FROM LAKE COMO. The two dive into the novel's surprising New Jersey setting (yes, that Lake Como) and the emotional journey of protagonist Jess Capodimonte Baratta, an Italian-American woman rebuilding her life and identity after divorce, family loss, and unearthed secrets. They explore themes of self-love, legacy, and the delicate strength of women—likened to marble that can endure anything but shatter with one wrong tap (Adriana even shares some insights on the Italian marble trade).Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/4eEOMfmShare, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!** Follow @totallybookedwithzibby on Instagram for listening guides and more. **(Music by Morning Moon Music.

It's Tuesday December 23rd, A.D. 2025.  This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes written by Kevin Swanson and heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  Filling in for Adam McManus I'm Ean Leppin (contact@eanvoiceit.com) Christian Nigerian Youth Fight off Armed Fulani for Over an Hour Young men defending women and children to the death! That's the story from Nigeria today. While a wedding party was taking place in the town of Bundu-Kahugu, a small group off young men, volunteer guards fought off armed Fulani for over an hour. The boys never retreated, as they held off the heavily armed attackers with nothing but machetes and handmade pipe guns. Four of the Christian youth were killed, and another six critically wounded. . The terrorists were unable to kidnap a single soul, or burn down any of the homes in the village. One observer told Truth Nigeria: “[The Fulani] attacked from four sides at the same time, at 11:45 pm Friday night.” And he said. “Our town has about 2000 homes, a small police post, a bank, two primary School and a High School. . .It is a Christian town, and we are expanding all the times because of high birthrates.” “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends.” (John 15:13) Praise God for the courage of a few young men.  Would you pray for Nigerian Christians this Christmas season. And be sure to support equippingthepersecuted.org — the ministry most focussed on supporting the persecuted saints in Nigeria.  David Comes in Second at the Box Office A Mormon-owned film company, Angel Studios has made another mark on the US Box Office with an animated release on the biblical David. David came in second, behind Avatar at the weekend box office, with $22 million gross receipts. Angel Studios is best known for their production of the films, “Sound of Freedom” and “His Only Son.” Earlier this year, Angel Studios produced “King of kings” — an animated film on the Life of Christ — pulling down $80 million total receipts. Hallmark Features Sexual Perversion Hallmark Channel enters its sixth year of producing Christmas films featuring couples engaged in relationships characterized by sexual perversion. While Hallmark is running after the homosexual market, the pro-homosexual lobby has issued some disappointment over the drop-off of mainstream media support for their perversions. The 2025 GLAAD Studio Responsibility Index shows Hollywood studios decreasing LGBTQ characterization by 24%, 27%, and 29% respectively in the years 2023, 2024, and 2025. 1 John 2:17 reminds us that “the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.” Bolsonaro's Son to Run for President in Brazil Brazil's former conservative president has officially started serving his 27-year sentence for attempting to overturn the 2022 election results. Now, Jair Bolsonaro's son has announced he's running for president in 2026. Flavio Bolsonaro says he's conservative on taxes and spending, but more moderate on others. . . He told Reuters, that he's still good with COVID-19 vaccines. 43% of Churchgoers are Pro-Life A recent Family Research Center survey indicates some bad news for American Christians. Only 43% of churchgoers describe themselves now as pro-life, down from 63% two years ago. The survey looked at regular churchgoers — only 44% of the American population. Only 41% of churches bring up the topic of abortion multiple times a year. The Human Coalition, the Family Research Council, and other Christian leaders have issued a public letter to pastors in America pointing out that the life issue is a gospel issue. The letter, signed by Tony Perkins and Dr. Daniel Akin, president of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary exhorts pastors to 1. Preach the Gospel of Life with clarity and compassion. 2. Proclaim the truth that every unborn child is sacred. 3. Offer the hope of Christ to post-abortive men and women in your pews. And, 4. Equip. . .congregations to be defenders of the vulnerable. 30,000 Attend Turning Point's America Fest in Phoenix Turning Point's America Fest in Phoenix brought in 30,000 Charlie Kirk fans over the weekend. . . The event featured the Who's Who in America conservativism — Ben Shapiro, Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon, Vivek Ramaswamy, Donald Trump Jr., and Vice President J.D. Vance. Rifts between the speakers surfaced — on issues related to America First nationalism and policy related to Israel. Younger Republicans are far more hesitant to support Israel than older Republicans, according to a recent You-Gov Survey. Taking one metric for instance, only 10% of twenty-something Republicans favor giving military support to Israel — compared to 49% of Republicans over 65 years of age.  InsiderAdvantage has released presidential approval numbers — Trump stands at 50%. . . The gender gap remains — 34% of American men disapprove of Trump's performance, against 47% of women registering disapproval. Gold Charges Upwards and Condo Prices Rise Gold is still charging upwards — now $4,438 per ounce, and silver upwards of $68 and change. Condo prices, seen as the canary warning in the mines for real estate — are sinking fast right now. Florida condos have dropped 15-30% from 2022 highs. Texas condo prices are down 15-20%, and Colorado Condos prices are down 10-15%. Add 11% for inflation and we're looking at a 20-40% contraction on the 2022 bubble.

Start selling digital products and services with MiloTree for FREE! If you're an online coach, course creator, or digital product seller, you've probably experienced this: You're working 35-45 hours a week managing sales, manually sending products, and personally following up with every customer. You're making some money, but you're completely burnt out. Sound familiar? In my newest episode, I shared the exact automation strategy that helped our MiloTree customer Ava transform her business. She went from making $1,800 a month while working 45 hours a week to earning over $11,000 a month working just 9 hours a week. The secret? She automated three key parts of her sales process using MiloTree. And in this post, I'm going to show you exactly what she automated and how you can set up the same system to sell digital products on autopilot. Show Notes: MiloTree Free Plan MailerLite (recommended email service provider) Goldmine Product AI Prompt Join The Blogger Genius Newsletter Become a Blogger Genius Facebook Group Subscribe to the Blogger Genius Podcast: iTunes YouTube Spotify The Problem: Manual Sales Are Killing Your Business Growth Here's what's happening to most digital product creators. You've built amazing products—courses, coaching packages, memberships, digital downloads. You're getting some sales, but you're stuck in a manual sales cycle that looks like this: Someone downloads your freebie → You manually add them to your email list → You manually send follow-up emails → You manually process orders → You manually deliver products → Repeat. This manual process has three major problems: Time Drain: You're spending hours every week on tasks that could be automated Revenue Cap: You can only make as much money as the hours you can physically work Burnout Risk: Eventually, managing everything manually becomes unsustainable The good news? You can automate your entire sales process so your business runs without you working harder—you just work smarter. The Solution: Three Types of Sales Automation That Actually Work There are three powerful ways to automate your digital product sales: tripwires, order bumps and upsells, and email sequences. Let me break down each one and show you exactly how they work together to create a sales system that runs on autopilot. 1. Tripwires: Turn Freebie Seekers Into Buyers Instantly A tripwire is a low-cost product (usually $7-$27) that you offer immediately after someone opts in to get your free lead magnet. Here's how it works: Someone sees your content on social media → They click to download your free cheat sheet → They enter their email on your opt-in page → They land on the thank you page → Right there, they see an offer for your complete toolkit for just $17 → They click, they buy → MiloTree delivers the product automatically. You do nothing. It all happens automatically. The beauty of tripwires is that they convert freebie seekers into paying customers right away. Once someone has bought from you once, they're 9 times more likely to buy from you again. 2. Order Bumps and Upsells: Increase Average Order Value Without More Traffic Here's where things get really powerful. Someone's already buying your $47 course. At checkout, you offer a $12 complimentary workbook with one simple checkbox. They tick the box—boom, they've added it to their order. After they complete the purchase, they land on your thank you page. Now you offer them your $97 "done-for-you" premium version. With another click, they've purchased that as well. You just turned a $47 sale into a $156 sale without getting a single additional customer. Order bumps and upsells can increase your revenue by 30-50% without any additional marketing. You're simply maximizing the value of customers you're already getting. 3. Email Sequences: Build Relationships and Sell While You Sleep This is the foundation that makes everything else work. An email sequence is a series of automated emails you set up once that go out to new subscribers automatically. One of our MiloTree customers, Amanda, set up her main email sequence six months ago. That one sequence generates over $1,500 a month for her business, and she hasn't touched those emails since she initially created them. Here's what a good email automation does: Builds Relationships: Your subscribers get to know, like, and trust you through consistent communication Delivers Value: You're providing helpful content that solves their problems Sells Naturally: You're making offers that feel like helpful solutions, not pushy sales pitches Email is one of the best channels for sales. For every $1 you spend on email marketing, you typically make about $36 in return. That's a 3,600% ROI. Why You Can't Do Email Marketing Through Gmail (And What You Need Instead) Here's something crucial to understand: You cannot do email marketing through Gmail, Yahoo, or any regular email account. You need what's called an email service provider (ESP). An email service provider is a platform like MailChimp, MailerLite, Kit, or Flodesk. It's built specifically for business email marketing. Here's what ESPs do that regular email can't: Deliverability: They get your emails into people's inboxes instead of spam folders Analytics: They track who opens your emails, who clicks links, and who buys Segmentation: They let you organize subscribers based on their interests and behavior Automation: They let you set up those money-making email sequences we talked about My favorite email service provider is MailerLite. We use it ourselves for MiloTree's email marketing. I recommend it for three reasons: Free to Start: You get your first 1,000 subscribers completely free User-Friendly: It's the easiest ESP I've used—intuitive drag-and-drop design Seamless Integration: It works perfectly with MiloTree for automated product delivery MiloTree integrates with 24 email service providers, including MailChimp, Kit (formerly ConvertKit), Flodesk, ActiveCampaign, MailerLite, Klaviyo, and many others. We're always adding new integrations based on customer requests. But if you're just starting out and asking me what to try first, I'd go with MailerLite. How MiloTree and Your Email Service Provider Work Together Let me show you the exact flow of how MiloTree and your email service provider work together to automate your sales. This is where the magic happens. Here's the complete automated workflow: Step 1: Someone sees your content on Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, or your blog Step 2: You offer a lead magnet (a free download, cheat sheet, template, etc.) Step 3: They click and land on your MiloTree opt-in page where they enter their name and email Step 4: MiloTree captures that email and automatically sends it to your email service provider Step 5: MiloTree instantly delivers the freebie to your new subscriber on the thank you page—they can download it immediately Step 6: At the same time, MiloTree sends a "tag" to your email service provider Step 7: That tag triggers your automated email sequence to start Step 8: Your welcome sequence begins—usually 5-7 emails that go out over the next week Step 9: These emails build the relationship, provide value, and make offers Step 10: When someone clicks to buy, MiloTree processes the payment and delivers the product automatically You do nothing. It all runs on autopilot. The Power of Tags: How to Trigger Different Email Sequences Here's what makes this system so powerful: tags. A tag is simply a label you assign to a subscriber based on what they've downloaded or purchased. Let's say you have three different freebies: A "Social Media Content Calendar" (tagged: social-media-freebie) A "Product Launch Checklist" (tagged: launch-freebie) An "Email Marketing Guide" (tagged: email-freebie) When someone downloads your Social Media Content Calendar, MiloTree automatically tags them with "social-media-freebie" in your email service provider. That tag triggers your social media email sequence. The beauty of this system is that different freebies can trigger different email sequences. Someone interested in social media gets emails about social media. Someone interested in email marketing gets emails about email marketing. You're sending the right message to the right person at the right time—all automatically. How to Set Up Your MiloTree and Email Service Provider Integration in 2 Minutes Setting up this automation sounds complicated, but it literally takes about two minutes. Let me walk you through it step by step. Step 1: Log into your MiloTree dashboard at milotree.com Step 2: Click on "Email Integration" in the menu Step 3: Select your email service provider from the dropdown menu (MailerLite, MailChimp, Kit, etc.) Step 4: Follow the simple connection instructions—every platform is slightly different, but we have step-by-step guides for each one Step 5: Test the connection to make sure it's working That's it. Now every time someone opts into your freebie, their email automatically flows into your email service provider and triggers your automated sequence. If you have any trouble with the setup, just email me at jillian@milotree.com and I'll personally help you get it working. Your Action Plan: Set Up Your Automated Sales System Today Here's exactly what I want you to do right now to start automating your sales: First, if you don't have an email service provider yet, sign up for one. I recommend MailerLite to start because it's free for your first 1,000 subscribers and it's incredibly user-friendly. Second, sign up for MiloTree if you haven't already. Start with our free plan to test everything. You can create a freebie opt-in page for free, sell a product for free, and see how the system works. Then when you're ready to scale, upgrade to one of our paid plans to run your entire digital product business with MiloTree.

And how much darkness can Lastlight hold before it pushes back?There's only one way to find out, grab your Dnd Dice, join Tom (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Keth⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠), Paul (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Milo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠), Chip (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jeff⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠), Sophie (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠River⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠), and James (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠the Dungeon Master⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠), led this time by Alex (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Derek⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠) and Roll Britannia.LIVE Events https://www.rollbritannia.co.uk/live |Patreon ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.patreon.com/rollbritannia⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |Feedspot https://podcast.feedspot.com/dnd_podcasts/ |Sound & music by Syrinscape: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://syrinscape.com/attributions/?id=142440 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠|Roll Britannia is unofficial Fan Content permitted under the Fan Content Policy.

So we've got the wand! Now we just need to find out the rest of the clues and then do this Arcane Octad! All before Auril can get down here! Also before Avarice figures it out as well. No biggie! If anyone can do it, it's our heroes! I wonder what this woman encased in ice is all about though? Very intriguing, wouldn't you say Max Hedman?Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat(if you have made it this far into the description, comment something about how Luke is an unfair DM, that'll really get him)

Caev is a rockstar in the truest sense - an artist who lives on the edge, embraces his contradictions, and creates from chaos. He's full of bright spots and dark flaws, and he wouldn't have it any other way. That tension is what fuels his art.After spending time away touring Europe, Caev returned to BFTC for one of the most honest conversations we've had yet. He talks about performing in Budapest and Bristol, where crowds embraced his sound in ways American audiences haven't - and why that experience has him planning a move overseas. He opens up about the reality of his label deal: getting signed, expecting support, and receiving nothing. He shares his vision for creating a defining sound for Boston that reflects the city's Afro-Caribbean roots and cultural mix. And in the rawest moment of the conversation, he talks about his addiction to weed and CHS (Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome). This is Caev UNFILTERED...

This is one of our best Episodes of 2025. A few years ago,I had a brilliant idea for a new offer. I mapped it out in detail, brainstormed all the possibilities, and spent weeks refining it. Guess what? I never launched it. I got stuck in the overplanning cycle – tweaking, refining, and second-guessing.  Sound familiar? The truth is, overplanning can feel productive, but it's really just a sneaky form of procrastination. And it's keeping you from the success (and revenue) you deserve. That's why in this week's episode of the Breadwinning Business Women podcast, we're tackling: Overcoming Overplanning: Take Action and Achieve Your Goals In this episode, you'll learn: The real reason you keep tweaking and refining instead of taking action (hint: it's not about perfection) A simple decision-making strategy that will get you unstuck—fast Why "imperfect action" is the secret ingredient to scaling your business It's time to step out of your own way and start making moves. Ready? Listen now button And if you're serious about taking action and seeing real results, don't miss my upcoming workshop: How to Achieve More Revenue in 90 Days Than Most Do in a Year Here's what you'll learn: ✨ The Daily Success Routine that's helped thousands of entrepreneurs double their income without working nights and weekends. ✨ Where to focus so every day moves you closer to $20K+ months. ✨ Why traditional time management fails service-based businesses (and what to do instead). It's time to start focusing on the activities that will actually drive growth and revenue, not just the busy work.

Congress is running out of time to act as Affordable Care Act tax subsidies are set to expire at the end of the year. The move could drive up health insurance premiums for millions of Americans. Democrats pushed to extend the subsidies with a small group of House Republicans joining them. One of those Republicans, N.Y. Congressman Mike Lawler, joins the Rundown to discuss his stance on the subsidies, the state of the talks, and what comes next. The recent surge in targeted antisemitic attacks worldwide has intensified scrutiny over whether governments and institutions have helped create a permissive environment where hatred of Jews is tolerated. Have political leaders and public institutions failed to clearly and forcefully confront this trend? Dan Senor, host of the Call Me Back podcast and author of The Genius of Israel, joins the Rundown to examine the rise of antisemitism in the United States and globally, and to examine whether governments, institutions, and political leaders have tolerated a climate in which the vilification of Jews is downplayed or left unchallenged.

Special re-release! To close out the year, we're counting down the Top 10 most-listened-to episodes of 2025. Coming in at #10: Zibby's interview with James Frey. Enjoy!Totally Booked: LIVE! In this special episode of the podcast (in-person at the Whitby Hotel with a live audience!), Zibby interviews #1 New York Times bestselling author James Frey about his darkly funny and razor-sharp new novel, NEXT TO HEAVEN. James opens up about writing a book that's bold, dirty, and wildly entertaining—a murder mystery set in an insulated world of obscene wealth, swingers, and secrets. He discusses the real-life inspiration for his book (his town!) and reveals how people's reactions have ranged from admiration to offense, precisely the kind of impact he aims for. He also delves into his singular style (no quotation marks, no apologies), his views on truth versus fact, and his refusal to play by literary rules.

In this special Need to Know episode, Bryce Zabel is joined by longtime collaborator Brent Friedman for a deep dive into the newly released trailer for Disclosure Day, Steven Spielberg's upcoming UFO themed film set for release in 2026. The conversation frames the trailer as a cultural moment, noting its massive early viewership and the broader rise in public interest following recent projects like Age of Disclosure. Zabel and Friedman position the trailer as more than marketing, treating it as a dense piece of visual storytelling packed with symbolism, spiritual themes, and long standing UFO lore.   The bulk of the episode is a shot by shot analysis of the trailer, exploring imagery such as animals appearing as messengers, religious symbolism, possession themes, shapeshifting, crop circles, elite control centers, and a worldwide disclosure event that bypasses governments entirely. The hosts speculate that the film suggests disclosure may come directly from non human intelligence rather than political institutions, reflecting growing public distrust in official narratives. They discuss how Spielberg appears to blend fear, wonder, and spirituality, presenting disclosure not as an invasion story but as an ontological reckoning that forces humanity to confront meaning, belief, and truth.   The episode also features a major announcement: Zabel and Friedman are launching a new 36 episode podcast titled Sound, Light, and Frequency, produced with iHeart Podcasts. The series will explore UFO history, Hollywood's role in shaping the phenomenon, and their own extraordinary experiences surrounding the creation of Dark Skies, including an alleged government approach related to soft disclosure. The show is positioned as a long form, reflective exploration of secrecy, storytelling, and consciousness. The episode closes with framing Disclosure Day as a cinematic rehearsal for real world disclosure and a hopeful signal that humanity may be ready for a deeper understanding of its place in the universe.
