She said, "This was so helpful." You said, "So glad." Three weeks later she announced she'd hired someone else, and that person isn't better at the work than you are. You didn't get outsold. You paid the Good Girl Tax, the old rule that says you can be as helpful as you like as long as you're never the one who brings up money. In this episode Karen Yankovich gives you the exact sentence to say the moment someone tells you "this was so helpful," plus the message that revives a conversation that already went quiet. Neither one has a price in it, and neither one is a pitch. In this episode: Why goodness is never the problem, and what the Good Girl Tax really is Why Chosen is the one rung of Seen, Known, Chosen where the tax shows up Why the more accomplished you are, the more every free hour costs you The restaurant check: a better picture of what the ask is The sentence for the live call and the revival message for the quiet thread Your homework: find one conversation from the last 90 days where someone said some version of "this was so helpful" and money never came up.

He shares how referrals, conference speaking, webinars, podcasts, and high-value content drive agency growth and how EOS helped him develop leaders as the company expanded. — Implement the Law Firm Success Formula with Jay Berkowitz  Good day. Steve Preda here with the Management Blueprint, and my guest today is Jay Berkowitz, the Founder and CEO of Ten Golden Rules, a two-time Inc. 5000 digital marketing agency that helps law firms generate more qualified leads and clients. Jay, welcome to the show.  Thank you so much. Great to be here, Steve.  So we already talked a little bit about it, but I was really curious about why you focus on law firms. There are so many marketing agencies out there, but I’ve never seen anyone that focused on such a narrow niche. And then I’m going to link it to my favorite question. So what is your personal Why, and how are you manifesting it in your Ten Golden Rules agency? And maybe there’s a connection to law firms as well?  Well, I’ll start with my personal Why, and my personal Why is I really like to win. And I’ve done the StrengthsFinder and different psychology tests, and I’m in the top—whatever—one or five percentile of people who are competitive. And so I was competitive in sports, but I really want to do well in business, and I want my clients to do well. Like, I really, really hate it if my client’s not right at the top of Google and if my client’s not growing in more new cases signed every month.  So that seems to be a really great fit for the business I’m in, which is helping clients with growth strategies, part of which is the marketing piece, getting new traffic to their website. Part of it is conversion, so we do a lot of work with our clients on getting a higher percentage of the folks who do show up to call, to click, to fill out a form. And then we work with their intake teams on converting those opportunities. And the final piece we work with them is really running a five-star operation—meaning that they’re getting more five-star Google reviews and getting more referrals from past clients and referral partners. So we do a lot of work in those three pieces of the business to help law firms grow, and I really want them to win because when they win, I win. Selfishly.  No, I love it. I love it. So are you like an outsourced marketing department and marketing-sales department for these law firms? How do you see yourselves? What is the role that you fulfill?  Yeah, I mean, we are a consulting agency. So first and foremost, we’re going to help them strategically figure out where to focus. And we have a fully functioning digital marketing agency, so we do websites and SEO and Local Services Ads and pay-per-click and social media and video and lots of AI. And then as a part of our consulting practice, we help with intake consulting that I mentioned before and five-star operations. And a big part of that is just finding the right partners because we’ll do high-level intake coaching and point out if they’re not answering the phone, if they’re not putting the right people on the phone, and then we’ll connect them with one of the top intake coaches in the legal industry.  If their back end is a little rough and needs some help, there’s a number of partners. Like, for example, there’s a really great software called Case Status we recommend to all of our clients. And imagine Case Status is an app. So, like, when we all order an Uber or order food, we get updates. “Hey, your driver’s been selected. Your driver will be here in 10 minutes. Your driver’s waiting outside. Do you want to have a conversation with your driver? What temperature do you want?”  And so there’s a great app called Case Status, which can manage the case in an app format that consumers are really used to. “Hey, we got your MRI booked, and here’s the location, and here’s the time. Don’t forget your MRI is tomorrow at 8:00 A.M. Here’s the location. If you can’t make the MRI, click here. Hey, we got your MRI. We forwarded it to the next surgeon,” in a case of a car accident. So using that software helps our firms get five-star Google ratings and lots more referrals, and that’s just one small piece of the pie.  So within the niche of law firms, is this even a narrower niche of injury law firms that you work with?  Yeah, it’s funny because when, as a business person, you go from working on 200 SIC codes and you pick one, “I’m only going to work with lawyers,” everybody always asks, like, “Which niche within the niche are you?” But by the nature of our business, 50% or 60% is personal injury, just because those guys are really invested in marketing. They spend a lot of time and money on it, and we’ve built a little reputation.  But we also have estate firms and family lawyers, criminal attorneys, sex abuse lawyers, securities attorneys. So I always say 50% is personal injury and 50% is everybody else who deals with consumers. Because for the most part, the B2B lawyers, they’re not going to spend a lot on marketing. But we have done some beautiful websites for them.  Very interesting. I have kind of a tangential question, but you may be able to help me answer it because I’m obviously wondering about it. I always see these billboards with the injury law firms promoting themselves, and I get if someone gets in a car accident and there’s a billboard above them, then it’s going to be an obvious thing for them to call, but it probably doesn’t happen that often. So how are these billboards so good for lawyers, or is it just a myth and they’re just wasting their money on it?  No. I think the math is pretty compelling, and the average personal injury firm will make between $10,000 and $20,000 on average on cases. Then there will be one or two or three, what they call whales, every year. So a terrible incident where, like, a FedEx truck or a commercial vehicle hits a family and there’s serious injuries or death involved, and it’s a multimillion-dollar case.  So the lawyers make a third of all the revenue that comes in on those cases, and they do a lot of work and they have a lot of expenses too. But when there’s millions of dollars at stake for just one case, these guys can afford the TV advertising, the billboard advertising, and the digital marketing that they do with us.  So it’s not just a billboard. Yeah. Billboard is just a visible one. It’s basically the general idea that they do a lot of advertising because being top of mind is important.  Yeah, for sure. And if, God forbid, someone you knew had an accident, you’d start noticing that every second ad on TV is also personal injury.  Yeah. Yeah. That’s true. That’s true. So let’s talk about frameworks because that’s what this podcast is about. Business blueprints or concepts that you have developed, you observed, something that helps you make sense or streamline the ideas that you deal with in your business. Anything that comes to mind, something that can be explained in three to five steps?  Yes. Well, I touched on it a little bit a minute ago, and we call it our Law Firm Success Formula. And the first part is attract, the second part is convert, and the third part is five-star operations. But I’ll spend a couple more minutes on it. So the attract piece is, first and foremost, you’ve got to have your website dialed in. You have to have a contemporary website. If your website’s more than five years old, it just sends a subtle, even subconscious message to folks that you’re not current, and the design times change over time.  And also, Google’s functionality is going to change, or the functionality of your website, as it’s friendly to Google, particularly your mobile website, if it’s five years old, is not going to be the current best practice. And Google’s going to come and test your mobile website, and they’re going to send negative ratings back to the algorithm, and you’re going to show up less in the searches. Equally important is your Google Business Profile. And that’s your Google Maps address. And that has to be up-to-date and optimized and constantly updated with new content and blogs and videos and information and photos from your location because I always say that you don’t own your Google Maps, you lease it from Google, but it’s a second and very powerful web presence that a firm can have.  So we do a lot of work on the websites, on the Google Maps, and there’s a whole SEO protocol around local SEO that surrounds the Google Maps listing and how you’re listed on your website and how you’re linked to by local businesses and the Chamber of Commerce and business associations and bar associations. And then the next piece is getting your message out there and optimizing for the AI. And so the AI today that’s important in my part of the business is the SEO AI, or a lot of us are calling it AEO, answer engine optimization. So a lot of the work we’re doing with our clients is answering questions on video, and those videos go on YouTube, and then we also use the video on a blog on the website.  And you can use those videos throughout the internet, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter. Very importantly, add a video to your Google Maps every week. So we generally shoot a series of at least a dozen videos with the client every quarter and have them answer questions. Because again, when you’re asking questions of Google or ChatGPT or Claude, “Who’s the best car accident attorney if I was hit in an Uber?” So we literally answer that question, and the attorney will say, “One of the things I’m getting asked all the time now is, who’s the best car accident attorney if I’m hit in an Uber? Do I need a car accident attorney?” And they’ll go on to answer that question, but literally, we put the question in the video.  The question goes on their blog, goes on their website, goes on their Facebook, their Twitter. So it’s a very effective strategy to target the AEO, or the answer engine optimization. And by the way, there’s a couple other pieces that are very important to come up in the AI. So number one is answering questions. Number two is becoming an expert, so getting written up in journals and your bar association, your Chamber of Commerce, whatever industry you’re in, getting on Wikipedias and things like that, and answering questions on Reddit and Quora, which are the answer engine websites. And then the final piece is some technical stuff you can do on your website, as simple as adding frequently asked questions. Most people only have five FAQs on their website. You should have 50 or 100 today in this world of answer engine optimization.  So the first piece in our formula is attracting traffic to the website and getting the brand right. And then the second piece is conversion. And I mentioned things like answering the phone. Super critical today that you answer the phone. And I know that sounds obvious, but Google’s actually tracking how long it takes you to answer the phone when someone clicks off a Google ad or a Google Maps listing. And if it takes more than 15 seconds and three rings, Google’s going to, again, downgrade you for future listings. And it’s not nefarious. There’s nothing negative. It’s just like when people use Google, Google wants them to have a successful experience.  Yeah.  So if they’re looking for a car accident lawyer or a shoe repair or a pizza, if you don’t answer the phone quickly, the next time, they’re going to put you down a little bit lower in the listings. So conversion is a multifaceted program that we help our clients with: answering the phone, answering the phone with empathy, answering the phone with a professional who can handle the call, not somebody who’s a busy trial attorney or a busy paralegal, and they don’t even want to take calls. So you really need a professional who’s trained to convert those opportunities.  And then we’ve also built some software to optimize any missed calls, and we even have a software when people fill out a form on the website, it immediately sends a text to the intake team so you can call them back. Because we’ve all had that experience where you fill out the form on the website, and you wait five minutes, 10 minutes, an hour, a day. Well, by then, you forgot whose form you filled out, and you filled out a couple other forms on other law firms’ websites or other marketing agencies’ or consultants’ websites, right? So very important that we have the software that immediately texts the form information to the intake team.  They can call the person right back. And then the final piece, I talked about five-star operations, and we have several programs to help our clients get more Google reviews and get more referrals from their existing clients and their referral partners. And one of the subtle things that a lot of people don’t do, and this is the easiest, most cost-effective marketing piece, is just sending out a monthly newsletter.  I mean, every business and every law firm and every marketing agency has to have a monthly newsletter. It’s very inexpensive. You can use Mailchimp or Constant Contact and send out some valuable information, some of your community activities, if you’re speaking at the Chamber of Commerce or your bar association, or I’m speaking at an industry conference. And every time I send out a newsletter, I get two or three calls. “Oh, Jay, I was meaning to call you. We want to redo our website.” Or, “Jay, would you be on my podcast?” Thank you for that, Steve. And just being top of mind increases your business opportunities, those referrals. So there’s a number of those programs that we do to help our clients get more five-star Google reviews and more high-value referrals.  That’s fantastic. You’re really very systematic about it. I mean, this is a huge framework, so I don’t know if we can promote it. It’s not going to be easy to promote all parts of it. But I really like the AEO optimization element: answering questions, becoming an expert on Wikipedia, Reddit, Quora, and the FAQs. Is there anything else there in this AEO optimization that may be important?  Well, the first part about answering questions, I can give you a couple clues there. One of the areas to get questions is to monitor the questions you take on a regular basis. And we use an AI called Fathom that records all my phone calls. And it creates a transcript, and I asked another AI, like a Claude or one of the AIs, to read all 200 most recent sales calls and transcribe all of the questions that I answered more than once. And there were several questions that I answered 20, 30 times and several that I answered two, three, four times.  It came up with 269 questions that I get asked on a regular basis on my sales calls, and now we’re systematically answering those questions on videos and blogs and content on our website because we know those are the questions that we get asked on a frequent basis by people who are interested in our products and services. So if you can find the true questions that you’re asked, I often joke that Margaret, the receptionist, you should give her a little clipboard beside her desk, and every question that comes in through the intake department, you want her to write it down and then hand that off to your marketing department and write a blog post.  Because literally, the questions that people are asking about car accidents or divorces or consulting services or marketing blueprints, those are the questions that people are asking Google, ChatGPT, and Claude. So if you proactively collect and answer the questions, that’s very powerful. And then in the expertise area, things you can do like getting in Wikipedia's, which is hard to get. You really have to be a known public figure today to get approved for a Wikipedia. But Grok has its own Grokipedia, and there’s several other pedias out there. Just making sure that you’re properly listed in all of your industry association listings and your local business associations.  When you just take a look at who’s linking to your competitors, you’re going to find a list of 200 websites that link to and list your competitors, and you can get listed in all those places, in most of those places, because there’s multiple chambers of commerce and business associations and bar associations in every region. And that’s true for every business, not just for lawyers. And then the final piece about the five-star operations, the simplest insight there is if you want lots of five-star reviews, you have to run a five-star business. You have to think of yourself like a five-star hotel.  And when you show up at The Ritz or The Four Seasons, which I’m lucky enough to do a couple times a year because I go to lawyer conferences, and those guys don’t fool around. Even as you pull up, they’re like, “Oh, welcome, Mr. Berkowitz.” I’m like, “How do they know that?” Probably because I told them what type of car I was coming in. Or they’ll ask you, “Are you staying here?” And your name is Mr. Berkowitz. And then as soon as the person hands your bags off and they take you to reception, you’re Mr. Berkowitz for the rest of your stay. They know who you are.  They recognize the staff are trained to give you that high level of service. And then when you go over to the concierge, there’s someone whose whole job is to make your visit great and get you fantastic dinner reservations and nurture your whole relationship, get you theater tickets or concert tickets. So if you think of your business as a five-star operation from the first time they call to every conversation, they should know Mr. Berkowitz. They should be able to pull up your file. They should know what the status of your business relationship is or your legal case.  And in fact, we recommend the software I talked about earlier, so they’re proactively sending you updates on your case. You don’t even have to call in. And the number one bar complaint is, “My lawyer doesn’t answer the phone and doesn’t give me updates on the status of my case.” And I think that’s true for every business. So if you’re proactively sending out updates and information to your clients, they’re proactively happy as opposed to reactively trying to chase you down.  Basically, you cannot fake being a good business. You have to be a good business. But it’s good to be reminded of what it takes to be a five-star service-oriented.  Yeah, you’re right. Yeah. Five years ago, you could fake it. Today, you can’t fake it. The Google reviews are omnipresent, and I think in 70 or 80% of businesses. I saw a data point the other day, people look at Google reviews before they work with a company.  Yeah. That is true. That is true. Well, thanks for reminding me. So what drives growth in your marketing agency business?  I think there’s three big chunks of business opportunities for us. The first one, and the best one for everybody, is always referrals. And so I do a lot of hard work to nurture my referral base. As a matter of fact, I’ve even created my own sort of networking group, if you will, of other people who call on the same types of businesses that I do. And I make sure that I reach out to them and have a quick Zoom call. I met with two of them this morning on just a half-hour Zoom call, finding out what’s up in their life, what type of referrals they’re looking for, and asking how I can give, and giving as many referrals as I get.  So building those relationships, we call it know, like, and trust in networking. And constantly building those relationships and then spending time with them at the industry conferences to really put a focus that I think I made a mistake and I ignored that up until the last four or five years. And now I spend more time at a conference on the trade show floor with the other vendors as I do trying to meet the attorneys, because if you build a relationship with a vendor who has 200 clients, you can get 200 referrals. If you build a relationship with a one-off prospect, you can get one.  Maybe he’ll refer you to someone he does business with. But really building those relationships, those referral relationships, has been fruitful for me. And then the second piece is those trade shows. And there’s an expression we use in my mastermind, which is, “Stage time is money time.” And if you can become an expert and develop a book and a presentation and get featured at your industry conference, that’s the best way to attend those conferences. And if you haven’t spoken on stage at your industry conference, I highly recommend it.  There’s about 10 benefits that you don’t even know about, that people reach out to you beforehand, even before the conference, to book you on their podcast or book a meeting with you or introduce you to someone. At the conference itself, there’s often a green room, which is a private area where you can do some business, where the other speakers are, and often the media is also in the green room. So you’ve got access to some of the most influential influencers at the conference itself. And then obviously, after you’re on stage, everyone wants to be your best friend if you do a good job, if your presentation is high value.  Yeah.  So that’s one of the best conference hacks. And then we try and do everything to optimize having a booth and having a presence at the conference or whatever we’re doing there. We often host a party or a dinner as well. And a lot of times, we do that with our vendor friends that I talked about earlier. And it really gives you a chance to stand out at the conference itself.  And then the third piece is marketing. We’ve been very fortunate and successful. We started a webinar series six years ago, and every month for six years, without fail, we’ve done a webinar. SEO for lawyers, pay-per-click for lawyers, social media for lawyers, video for lawyers, and then branching out into things like EOS, the Entrepreneurial Operating System. We do an annual business planning webinar. And thankfully, about two years ago, February, one of those videos took off on YouTube.  Something in the algorithm, it just loved it, and people were watching a long time on this video, and they were watching other videos after they watched this video. And I used to be so proud because I had 2,000 or 3,000 people who watched my webinars, and this one started going to 20,000, 30,000. Today, I believe it’s been viewed 95,000 times. It’s called the Top 10 Hottest Technology Tips for Attorneys, and that one seemed to pull the whole channel with it. So now, on a regular basis, we’ll get 50,000 or 60,000 views each month, and our overall channel’s up to 1,300,000 or 1,400,000 views on YouTube.  So creating high-value content has been a great sort of foundation for us, and then we’ll also market that in several different ways. We send emails: “Hey, please come to our monthly live-streaming event. We’ve got a great panel. We’re going to teach you all about the latest technologies in AI for lawyers.” And then those panel partners will promote the event as well. And then we send the emails in advance to the webinar. We post on our LinkedIn, my personal LinkedIn, company Facebook, Jay’s Facebook, Twitter, company Twitter.  And then after, “Hey, a lot of people said they missed the webinar. They couldn’t get the link to work. Here’s a replay of the webinar.” And then we take snippets from the webinar and put it in our social media. So that and a weekly podcast has been very, very powerful inbound marketing and thought leadership marketing for the firm.  Love it. That’s really cool. You’ve got some good processes, and thanks for sharing. This is interesting, the 10 technology tips. And it’s got a good title for sure, and I’m sure that it’s a good niche as well, and well done doing this. So no business is perfect, of course. What is something that you’re actively trying to figure out in your business?  Well, I’ve been spectacularly unsuccessful at hiring salespeople. And a number of my friends in my mastermind say the best day of their life is when they hire a salesperson who can sell better than them. We have a great sales process, and we have a great sales team, but I haven’t yet found the person who’s a little bit more effective in nurturing and closing the sales. So I definitely have some work to do still in building a sales team.  Yeah. I mean, you’re two times Inc. 5000, so you must be growing fast. And in fact, I saw that you doubled the number of employees in the last couple of years. How do you make sure that the leadership is growing with the number of employees? How are you growing your leaders?  Well, Steve, thank you, because that’s one of my favorite topics. And we’re big proponents of EOS, the Entrepreneurial Operating System, and the book Traction. And by the way, my hot tip to anyone who’s hearing this and is a business owner: don’t read the book Traction first. Read this book, Get a Grip. Because Get a Grip tells you the story of Traction, but it’s told as a story. And if you’re the founder, what EOS calls a visionary, Traction’s more like an operations manual, and that’s for your COO, your chief operating officer. So read Get a Grip, and then we got started three or four years ago self-implementing EOS.  Yeah.  And two and a half years ago, we hired an implementer and did a full-scale EOS, Entrepreneurial Operating System, integration into our business. And that was when we were around 10 or 12 people. And when you’re a small business, five, six, seven employees, all of them can report to the CEO, and we had very hands-on training. And as the business grew and we got to 10 or 12, that’s where you’re supposed to develop leadership specialties.  And obviously, 12 people can’t report to you, and you’re getting busier in sales and marketing and speaking and flying all over the place. So as we built this EOS leadership team, it’s been a real fantastic awakening for me because now there’s people who are very, very competent at what they do. They’re leading each of our departments, and I don’t have to sit in all the seats anymore. I found people who are better than me, smarter than me at what they do to lead each of those teams.  That’s pretty cool. That’s pretty cool. So if someone is running a law firm out there and listening to all that advice and they’d like to learn more, where should they go and where can they connect with you?  Well, the easiest thing is to go to tengoldenrules.com, or I’m Jay Berkowitz on most of the social media because when a new social media comes out, I always grab the name Jay Berkowitz. And probably much to the chagrin of a couple guys who are probably more important than me, Professor Jay Berkowitz and Chiropractor Jay Berkowitz. And if you guys are hearing this, I’m sorry, Dr. Jay Berkowitz, but I’ve got the Twitter and the Facebook and the LinkedIn handle.  Yeah. That’s pretty cool. Actually, I was wondering because this podcast has been running for six years, and I had the recollection that I had a Jay Berkowitz on this show four or five years ago, and I had to make sure that it wasn’t you. So it’s funny that you mentioned this. Yeah. That’s awesome. So this is pretty impressive, not just as a law firm or a law firm owner, but anyone.  I mean, these ideas that, Jay, you shared with us—how to attract people on your website, how to leverage AI and become an expert and create those FAQs and harvest them from your sales conversations, and then how you build a five-star operation so that you actually retain those clients and get them to refer and give you testimonials—that’s very, very valuable stuff. So I recommend all of you to look into implementing some of this stuff or reach out to Jay at one of the Jay Berkowitz handles or on the Ten Golden Rules website.  So, Jay, thank you for coming and sharing your ideas and experiences and frameworks, particularly frameworks. And if you enjoyed listening, then stay tuned because every week I bring a couple of amazing entrepreneurs to this show. So thanks, Jay, for coming, and thank you for listening.  You’re welcome, Steve. Thanks for having me.  Thank you. Important Links: Jay's LinkedIn Jay's website

Welcome to The B-Side! Here we talk about movie stars! And sometimes we get to talk to stars about their own B-Sides! Today is a big one for us. The legend Josh Hartnett is on the podcast to talk about his new film Verity and dish on some of his B-Sides, including Town & Country, August, and Valley of the Gods. We chat with Hartnett about his growth as an actor, his memories on the chaotic set of the Warren Beatty-starrer Town & Country, his love for the underseen August, his joy making Lucky Number Slevin, and the luck and stress of having both his big movie (Verity) open mere days before his big new show (Below). We make mention of this fascinating Vanity Fair piece from 2001, as well as his intentional disappearance from Hollywood in the mid-2000s. There's also a brief mention of his potential regret in dismissing a chance at playing Batman for Christopher Nolan early on.

We're traveling through Mark's gospel at the present, and today enter a new chapter, chapter thirteen. The prophetic word that we're going to talk about literally changes everything.

This week James is joined Sir Chris Hoy, who if you haven't heard of him was a pretty good cyclist in his day. Chris won six Olympic gold medals and one silver on the track, spanning four Olympic Games including that incredible week at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, where Chris won golds in the Team Sprint, Individual Sprint and Keirin as Team GB notched up a staggering 14 cycling medals, cementing Britain as a cycling powerhouse and putting cycling into the mainstream in the process.In this episode, Chris discusses that day in Beijing as well as many other memorable moments, like sitting trackside in Athens watching world records get smashed over and over until it was his turn to compete; turning up in Japan to learn to race Keirin at Japanese Keirin school; a love of coffee that meant he never travelled anywhere without his espresso machine and grinder, and his even bigger love and respect for cycling compatriot and maverick record breaker, Graeme Obree; and which of his teammates rode with different length cranks without even noticing.Chris also talks about his Stage 4 cancer diagnosis and how prostate cancer affects men and what men can do to catch it early. We also talk about how you can support Chris's annual charity ride, Tour de 4, which raises money for cancer research and care, and which this year saw 191 riders with Stage 4 cancer join thousands more as they cycled and raised nearly £3 million for charity, taking Tour de 4's total to a staggering £5.8 million in two years.You can check your risk of prostate cancer in under 30 seconds at prostatecancer.org/risk-checker and you can donate to Tour de 4, or sign up for next year's event at tourde4.comChat begins at 11:10.----------------This episode is brought to you by Rouvy, the indoor riding platform that makes indoor rides look and feel real, from smashing up the Sa Calobra to group rides around Vietnam to Rouvy Fest, which this year takes place between 12th and 25th October and will include a host of special group rides including tackling Mount Teide in Tenerife, riding the shores and hill of Lake Garda in Italy and puffing up dust on the Strade Bianche chalky road of Tuscany.

And the fashion police have too much time on their hands. ----- The Supreme Court finally put down the dead horse that the Eighth Circuit kept beating, ruling for the third time that Missouri can't impose an illegal gerrymander in time for this election. But this farce highlights a growing problem as conservative -- primarily Trump-appointed -- judges use the federal courts as a staging ground for polishing their resumes. It's not just the Eighth Circuit either. The Fifth and even the Second have seen these antics. Also the fashion police arrived in Texas and attacked a lawyer for her sleeveless dress. And, how long are Biglaw lawyers working in London?

Send us Fan MailWhat do you do when you've spent your life building businesses—and suddenly, you're told you may have only weeks to live?In this episode of the Today is the Day Changemakers podcast, host Jodi Hope Grinwald welcomes entrepreneurs and Smilo Foundation co-founders Mike and Bethany Smilovich for a deeply personal conversation about cancer, advocacy, partnership, and finding hope when the future feels uncertain.Mike's business experience spans healthcare, wellness, and consumer brands, including European Wax Center franchise locations, VIO Med Spa, and Bang Cookies. But a stage 4 melanoma diagnosis brought an entirely different challenge into his and Bethany's lives as parents of two young children.Mike was also diagnosed with leptomeningeal disease, which they describe as cancer spreading into his cerebrospinal fluid—the fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. During the interview, they recount being told that the average lifespan associated with his prognosis was eight weeks.Bethany stepped into the role of caregiver and advocate, researching treatment options, seeking additional opinions, and connecting with doctors and scientists. Together, they describe navigating major medical institutions, gathering information, and bringing what they learned back to Mike's care team.Their search eventually took them to Germany for T-cell therapy. Mike and Bethany share their experience with that treatment, the results they reported at the time of our conversation, and the questions they continued to explore.Throughout their journey, hope gave them motivation to take the next step. Hearing stories of people who had survived difficult diagnoses helped them believe other possibilities existed—and encouraged them to keep reaching out, learning, and asking questions.Their experience also revealed how difficult it can be to find relevant treatment information, even with resources, business experience, and an extensive network. That realization helped inspire the Smilo Foundation.Through the foundation, Mike and Bethany are working to connect patients and caregivers with information about cancer research, treatment options, and advocacy resources. They also discuss their plans for Smilo Compass, a tool intended to help patients identify potential treatment options to discuss with their doctors, with expert human review included in the process.This conversation explores the connections between entrepreneurship and advocacy, the emotional realities of caregiving, raising young children through uncertainty, and creating a mission to help others from a life-changing personal experience.Learn more about the Smilo Foundation, its mission, and opportunities to support its work:smilofoundation.orgFollow the foundation on Instagram: @thesmilofoundationPlease share this episode with someone who would value hearing Mike and Bethany's story.

Before her diagnosis, Melinda Nelson was a plant-based health coach, avid organic juicer, triathlete, and yogi. At 32, she was diagnosed with adrenocortical carcinoma, a rare, one-in-a-million cancer with only one FDA-approved treatment. She found motivation and inspiration in the documentary Heal, which she played on repeat as she fell asleep. After surgery to remove a cortisol-secreting, 24-centimeter adrenal tumor, she started treatment but experienced recurrence in her spine, hips, shoulder, lungs, and liver, leading her to pursue multiple treatments and procedures with a dedicated team of specialists. Her tumors have remained stable and inactive since November 2022, and she continues to support her well-being through complementary practices such as acupuncture, hypnotherapy, and sound baths. In 2024, Melinda became a founding member and vice president of Adrenal Cure Collective, a nonprofit dedicated to advancing adrenal cancer research, and she now co-hosts Talk Cancer to Me, a podcast exploring the realities of life with cancer beyond oncology appointments. adrenalcurecollective.org Tiktok and Instagram: @Melindacnelson Talk Cancer to Me Podcast Radical Remission Docuseries Trailer to Heal Documentary _________ To learn more about the 10 Radical Remission Healing Factors, connect with a certified RR coach or join a virtual or in-person workshop visit www.radicalremission.com.   To learn more about Radical Remission health coaching with Liz or Karla, Click Here   Join our mailing list and you'll receive our free eBook, Kickstart Your Healing: 20 Radical Remission Tips, as a special thank you for joining.

Their work centers on the Immunocine Dendritic Cell Treatment (IDCT) — a first-in-class therapy designed to train the immune system to recognize and respond to a patient's specific cancer. The process begins by collecting information from the patient's tumor and using it to program specialized immune cells called dendritic cells, which help activate targeted immune responses. A key differentiator in Immunocine's approach is something called double loading — cancer information is delivered to the dendritic cell both inside the cell and on its surface, giving the immune system a more complete blueprint of the cancer it needs to recognize and attack. And while this approach is unique to Immunocine and unique to use therapeutically, it is NOT unique to biology - since this is how the immune system was always meant to work! Immunocine treats patients from around the world at its clinic in Cancun, Mexico, combining advanced immune science with personalized care. As always, patients should first explore whether they may be eligible for a clinical trial in the United States. To learn more, visit Immunocine.com.

Technical note: Due to multiple technical difficulties, the video version of this week's episode is unavailable. We expect the video podcast to premiere with next week's episode. The audio version is available as usual.In this episode, Rick and Svea launch the new Expedition Ready series by introducing a framework for the spiritual journey. The goal is not to create a formula, ladder, or grading system for faith, but to offer a map that helps people understand how growth with Jesus often unfolds over time. The journey moves through stages of discovering, learning, doing, contemplating, becoming, and loving, with “the wall” marking a significant season of deeper wrestling and growth.They talk about the “ghost rules” people can absorb in church culture—like feeling pressure to fake maturity or appear more put together than they really are—and why authentic spiritual formation requires honesty. Growth is not about managing a Christian image; it is about becoming more like Jesus in ways that reach beneath behavior and into the deeper parts of who we are.Rick and Svea also spend time on “the wall,” the season when old answers may no longer feel sufficient, God may seem distant, or doubt and disillusionment surface. Rather than seeing that as failure, they describe it as a normal and potentially important part of the journey—an invitation into deeper emotional and spiritual maturity.From there, the conversation explores what happens on the other side of the wall: allowing Jesus to bring healing to the inner life, gradually becoming the kind of person who reflects His character more naturally, and ultimately growing toward a life increasingly shaped by love for God and others.Topics discussed in this episode:00:00 Introducing video podcasting & the "Expedition Ready" fall series launch01:30 The goal of becoming like Jesus — and why it can't be reduced to a formula of "right beliefs, right behaviors"03:04 The overlanding metaphor: preparation, maps, and not traveling alone as parallels to the spiritual journey04:32 The six stages as a map, not a scorecard — not levels, not a ladder, but seasons of movement toward maturity06:35 "Ghost rules" in church culture — the pressure to fake it till you make it, and the call to authenticity11:10 Stages 1–3 walkthrough: Discovering (excitement), Learning (being a sponge), and Doing (serving with rocket-fuel growth)14:00 The Wall: burnout, doubt, disillusionment, and the liberating truth that "it's not a you problem, it's an us thing"18:45 Stages 4–5: Contemplating (gospel healing of hurts, coping patterns, and family-of-origin wounds) and Becoming (reflexive Christlikeness vs. effortful behavior)23:55 AI as a metaphor: the danger of "all product, no process" — shortcuts bypass the growth the spiritual journey requires25:41 Stage 6: Loving — the final stage of true sanctification where love motivates everything, and a call to join small groups for the 8-week series

Join Alex Ang, Co-Founder of Sapiens Technology and creator of Agnes AI, for a compelling look at the global AI race and the rise of hyper-cost-efficient intelligence. While Silicon Valley tech giants pour tens of billions of dollars into brute-force compute clusters to achieve incremental performance gains, a new frontier of AI labs is proving that architectural efficiency can level the playing field. Drawing on his Stanford Master's degree, 15 years of leadership across the military, technology, and startup sectors, and his work building Agnes AI, Alex shares how a Singapore-based lab can train models that deliver 90% of frontier AI performance at 1% to 10% of the cost.

https://jo.my/eylq5xCold Weather ReadinessIce doesn't care about your production schedule. When freezing temperatures hit an unprepared loading dock, metal turns slick, equipment fails, and bones break. Safety culture is not paperwork on a bulletin board. It is the active choice to protect the person working beside you before things go wrong.Winter is coming fast. If you wait for the first hard freeze to test your gear, you have already lost the fight. Rushing to fix frozen pipes or hunting for traction grit during a blizzard creates panic. Panic leads to shortcuts. Shortcuts lead to the emergency room.Here are a few tips to assist you with winter readiness prep:1 - Inspect heating units and dock seals now. Fire up overhead unit heaters before the cold snap arrives. Replace worn filters, test thermostats, and seal drafty cracks around high-traffic bay doors. Warm workers stay alert.2 - Order salt, sand, and traction grit early. Supply lines tighten rapidly once winter storms hit regional roads. Stage full barrels of melting agent, scoops, and push spreaders right at every exterior dock door.As a side note, our sponsor, Mighty Line, has great Anti-Slip Tape for slippery areas.3 - Service dock plates and mechanical levelers. Hydraulic fluid thickens in sub-zero weather. Clean out leaves and road debris from dock pits, lubricate moving hinges, and check rubber weatherstripping for gaps.4 - Roll out cold stress training early. Teach your crew to spot early symptoms of frostbite and hypothermia. Encourage clean layer systems, dry boots, and warm gloves that still preserve hand grip.And last but not least, 5 - Map out clear pedestrian freeze zones. Mark exterior walkways, ramp slopes, and trailer aprons that freeze first. Keep ice melt on high-risk transition zones where forklift tires track slush directly inside.As always, these are potential tips. Please follow your facility's rules and regulations.Preparation gives your team control. When you take winter hazards off the table, folks can focus on their jobs without freezing or slipping on hidden black ice. Great facilities run smoothly because everyone looks out for everyone else.Look out for your team today. Simple fixes now prevent severe injuries later.Thank you for being part of another episode of Warehouse Safety Tips.

You Have a Stage Goal. What's Your Post-Show Goal? You've spent months working toward the physique you want to bring to the stage. What do you want to work toward when the show is over? In this episode of The Rachel Rampton Show, I'm sharing what I'm already thinking about during my own prep: having a clear goal for the woman who comes home after the show. If your only post-show goal is “I don't want to gain weight,” let's give you something more useful to work toward. What do you want to develop in your physique? How do you want to train? What do you want this next season to make room for in your life? In this episode, we talk about: Giving your reverse and post-show transition a clear purpose. Being honest with your coach about wanting to improve while feeling afraid of body changes. Recognizing progress when getting leaner is no longer the goal. Making room for marriage, family, and life while pursuing your physique goals. Staying rooted in your identity in God through every season. Your action step: Write down what you want to develop in your physique, what successful follow-through looks like, and what you want more room for in your life. Bring those answers to your coach. You can be proud of your stage physique and intentional about what comes next. Your worth never depended on your conditioning. Interested in coaching through prep and beyond?

 A course at Portland Community College is currently being taught where students use styrofoam, clays, paints and their imaginations to create “haunted” charcuterie boards adorned with fake moldy cheeses, unappetizing crackers and rancid-looking slices of deli meats.    Olivia Vavroch, a Portland artist, teacher and theater designer, is teaching the Halloween-themed class. The Portland Mercury recently profiled Vavroch in its Fall Arts issue, describing the career transition she made into the world of theater several years ago after contracting long COVID-19. Vavroch designs and dresses sets, specializing in making custom theater props that include fake foods like cake or lasagna that can help bring depth to performances and layers of authenticity to the story. She is also one of dozens of artists whose work is being featured in “Inconvenience Store,” an interactive art exhibit currently taking place inside a former 7-Eleven in downtown Seattle.    Vavroch joins us to share more details about the delicious art of making fake food.   

Madonna's relationship with the MTV Video Music Awards started on its very first telecast, back in 1984, when she writhed around on the stage in a fluffy white wedding dress while performing "Like a Virgin." On Sunday night, the Queen of Pop returned to her rightful stage to open the 2026 VMAs with songs from her Confessions II album and to collect a total seven awards -- and Billboard was in the building. On the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Keith tells Katie all about his night inside the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles for the 2026 VMAs, where (beyond Madonna, of course) there was a stacked tribute to another MTV legend, George Michael, and the christening of new music video stars too, thanks to the fluid choreography from GENER8TION featuring Yung Lean.

As his second term fails and his attacks on the very foundations of effective government becoming ever-more apparent, the morbid symptoms are piling up—Trump's fantastical retreat into building projects, his posting through the A.I. revolution, ongoing obsession with JFK and the Kennedys, and more—we take stock and discuss the perils of this moment, as people who believe in nothing surround a president who knows nothing, and the situation gets desperate.Listen again: "The Kennedy Imprisonment" (w/ Jeet Heer), Nov 17, 2023Sources:"Trump Renames A.I. and Threatens to 'Annihilate' Iran in U.N.

 If you ski, try not to fall near the lift. Yard sales are hard enough without an audience. But from the lift you'll also see snowboarders hunting for trouble on purpose: rails, jumps and half pipes. In terrain parks, they don't call those things obstacles. They call them features. In this episode, I'm sharing the first soundtrack from my brand new book, The Three Minute Mindset: Obstacles are features. We'll talk about difficult coworkers, surprise bills (like an $8,000 air conditioner during a Nashville heat dome), and a five-city week full of delayed flights.

Being booked out for months doesn't mean much if you finish the year with barely any money in the bank. In this episode, Keith shares the landscaping business lessons he learned through years of saying yes to too many jobs, driving too far for work, and grinding seven days a week without enough profit to show for it. He breaks down the journey from "Chuck in a Truck" to "Possibility Pete" to "Abundant Anthony"—moving from survival mode to a business with clear systems, predictable cash flow, and a better understanding of what to charge. Keith explains how narrowing his service area, becoming more selective about customers, and replacing low-profit jobs helped him change the way he ran his business. He also shares why checking your calendar before making commitments matters, especially when you're trying to protect time with your family. If you've been working hard for years and still feel stuck, Keith offers an honest look at how experienced contractors, coaching, and accountability can help you recognize the habits that are holding you back.   "You don't want everybody. You want the somebodies." – Keith Kalfas   What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why a full calendar doesn't always mean you're running a profitable business The difference between taking calculated risks and risking a customer's trust The three stages Keith describes in growing a small landscaping business Why marketing, administration, production, and sales all need your attention How shrinking your service area can reduce wasted travel time Why you should review pricing and capacity before committing to another job How to gradually replace low-profit work with better-fitting customers and projects Why family commitments and vacations need to be booked in advance How learning from experienced contractors can reveal habits that are costing you money How coaching can help you address accountability, pricing fears, and self-belief Key Takeaways: Build a business that leaves you with money after the work is done. More customers and more jobs can create more chaos if the work isn't profitable. Keith explains why you need to understand your costs, reduce unnecessary travel, and make better use of the limited space on your calendar. Become more selective as your business grows. Early on, you may need to take whatever work you can responsibly deliver. As your lead flow improves, you can raise prices on underpriced accounts, phase out work that no longer fits, and make room for jobs that support a healthier business. Experience helps most when you use it to change your decisions. Working harder year after year won't fix every problem. Keith shares how learning from other contractors and working with a coach helped him question old habits, follow through on changes, and recognize the fears influencing his business decisions.   Connect with Keith Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/keithkalfas/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thelandscapingemployeetrap Website: https://www.keithkalfas.com/resources Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@keith-kalfas   Resources and Websites:  4 Steps to Training Employees: https://www.keithkalfas.com/4steps Build Your Site: https://www.keithkalfas.com/ReBolt Call Tracking Software: https://www.keithkalfas.com/CallRail Start Getting Leads Now https://www.footbridgemedia.com/keith The Untrapped Alliance: https://www.keithkalfas.com/alliance Resources You Need To Build A Successful Business https://www.keithkalfas.com/resources

Writing from her own post-MBA job search, she argues that reaching this stage means the hardest part is already behind you, and that the frustration comes from not knowing the timeline rather than from a lack of effort. Her suggestion is to accept the uncertainty as temporary and fill it deliberately with the things that restore you. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://tinybuddha.com/blog/career-transitions-how-to-cope-with-the-in-between-stage/ Quotes to ponder: "Accept the uncertainty, knowing that you've done the planning, you're doing the work, and eventually (that scary word) things will come together for you." "At this point, more than ever, you need to believe that you have the power to take yourself to the next step."

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm so honored to introduce you all to: Ritual abuse, mind control and organized abuse survivor, overcomer and whistleblower, published writer and author, TikTok content creator, dancer, artist, and creative, civil engineer with a passion for natural building, haircut wizard, and declutter and deprogramming warrior: Armaan Keval MaldeA little bit about Armaan and what you can expect to hear about on today's episode: Armaan comes from the Visa Ohshwal community, a lineage he traces from India through Kenya back toward Persia. Both of his parents share that background as well. He believes multi-generational programming ran through the family and the wider group, and that schools, hospitals, and businesses built by relatives may have doubled as covers. He says the official story of his birth was a lie: he was told July 4, 1996, but his memories place his origin around January 1, 1993, in an Iranian lab, with years shuttled between there and a facility in Switzerland, where a twin or clone was also created. He was then moved through Africa into Kenya and on to the United States; while his twin was sent separately to New York.From ages three to six he lived underground: programmed, surgically altered, gender-inverted, and prepared to live as a female. At age six he was placed with his adoptive family looking so malnourished he looked three years old. From then on he and the twin were rotated - one living the visible life, the other taken below. Every school, he says, sat above hidden rooms and tunnels. Pregnancies began in childhood. His body later swelled in ways that did not match starvation; and he attributes this to implanted filler. The implanted uterus began rejecting him long before he had language for any of it.In 2017 something in him chose life before he even understood the full map. The dissociated memories of childhood did not return until 2022–2023, after homelessness ended and he finally had a door he could lock. Safety itself became holy. In 2019, before he even had the words “ritual abuse,” visualization brought him to what he calls Stage 1 DID integration. That alone is astonishing: he began putting a shattered mind back together while still standing inside the lie. He now lives in Stage 2 integration—one functioning person, with remaining parts mostly holding memory. He believes Stage 3 is near: residual memory cleared, a life that cannot be dismantled again, pain met without leaving the body. For most of his years he wanted the story to end. What kept him here was not mere endurance. It was vocation. If he could survive this, and then share the methods with other survivors, then they would not have to invent survival from nothing. He is certain that is why he is alive. He believes complete healing is possible - not as a slogan, but as a promise he has already begun to keep in his own nervous system.That promise now shapes everything he builds. On TikTok as DeprogramSRA69 he does not perform pain for spectacle. He teaches. He shares protocols for DID, programming, extreme grief, and deliverance, along with the workbook Deprogram Yourself. He has already proven that a person with almost no support can still become a source of support. But as you witness him, do not mistake his gentleness for smallness. This is a man who crawled out of rooms designed to erase him and then asked, Who else is still down there? His life is the answer he gives to the dark: you do not get the last word. To other survivors his message is a vow, not a platitude. You can do more of the healing yourself than you were ever allowed to believe. You are more capable than the people who broke you wanted you to know. The laboratories tried to write his ending before he could speak. Armaan answered with a life so stubbornly luminous that it became an invitation. Come back. You are not too shattered. You are not too late. The dark was real. The return is realer. If one person can walk out carrying both the wound and the medicine, then none of us have to stay buried. He is still writing. And the ending he is writing now is not only his. It is ours - if we are brave enough to believe that healing, fully and finally, is possible.

In this episode, Georgie sits down with Jess Blizzard - co-founder of M BODY Minerals and a woman who was told, in her early 30s, that hysterectomy or forced menopause were her only options for stage 3 endometriosis, adenomyosis and multiple uterine fibroids. Instead, Jess chose to listen to her own body. She reworked her nutrition, her stress load, her emotional world and her relationship to her own healing - and four years later, she's pain-free, and a mother of two more children doctors said she likely wouldn't have. This conversation is about trusting your instincts when the system tells you not to, the deep link between inflammation and hormone health, and what it actually looks like to advocate for yourself when the experts are telling you what to do. Diagnosed with stage 3 endo, Jess was told hysterectomy was her only path How she chose to trust her body over the medical prognosis  The steps she took to rebuild her health naturally Now four years pain-free and mother of two children Where to find Jess: Socials: @jessblizzard Website: https://www.mbodyminerals.com/ --- For all my resources & updates: https://georgiecollinson.com/
