Podcasts about State of the Union

West Coast hip-hop legend Alvin Joiner, more popularly known as Xzibit, left his home in Albuquerque to make his name in LA. He didn't have any Plan B because he knew that Plan A was going to work – it just needed a little time. True enough, he quickly made his name in the music and entertainment industry. He became a platinum recording artist and host of MTV's Pimp My Ride. He appeared on the show Empire and in movies like 8 Mile, Gridiron Gang, XXX, and State of the Union. What people didn't realize was that he didn't quite understand the business so ended up going broke. In this episode, Xzibit talks more about his journey, how he turned anger into accomplishment, and how he turned something negative into positive. He now runs a successful Cannabis company called Napalm. Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: [05:10] Alvin's family background [08:50] How he ended up in social services [10:00] How he turned his anger into accomplishment [14:17] Learning the business by doing business [17:23] Not having a Plan B because you believe Plan A works! [20:50] Making a name for himself and working with Dr. Dre [23:55] The saving grace and the moment he understood the business [28:15] The Pimp My Ride hosting experience and how his personality shone through [34:15] A time of financial distress [37:53] What led him to create Napalm [46:03] The growth of Napalm [50:55] His takeaways from ending his marriage Notable quotes from the Episode: “One thing I did is I turned that anger into accomplishment…I found a way to use it to make a negative into a positive." “I never had a Plan B. Plan A is going to work. It may take some work, it may take a little time, but Plan A is going to work.” "Nobody likes desperate people. You shy away from people that work out of desperation." "You've got to pay attention to what's happening because at the end of the day, everybody's going home and they have jobs. But this is your life. So pay attention." “I needed to get my space back to make myself whole again. And then I started making better decisions.” "Trust is gained in drops, but lost in buckets.” Connecting with the Guest Napalm: https://www.napalmbrands.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/xzibit/ Connect with our growing community: GoBundance Champions: https://www.gobundance.com/champion-application Apply to GoBundance: https://www.gobundance.com/membership Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gobundance/ Not a millionaire yet but want to be a part of our ecosystem?

Vice President Kamala Harris and U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy issued a warning Monday about burnout among the nation's health care staff after more than two years of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the potential for severe worker shortages in the years ahead if the situation is not addressed. “You do so much to take care of your patients in their time of need," Harris told health care workers as she visited Children's National Hospital in Washington with Murthy on Monday. “Which is why I'm here to say, we need to do a better job of taking care of you.” Murthy issued a new report sounding the alarm over a projected shortage of 3 million “essential low-wage health workers” in the next five years, and nearly 140,000 doctors by 2033. “People are really struggling,” Murthy said. "After two years of COVID-19 and more than 1 million precious lives lost, the people we all turn to to keep us safe, to comfort us and help us heal, they have been pushed to their limits." The administration is calling for new investments and steps to protect the mental well-being of health care workers; that includes expanding counseling offerings, reducing administrative burdens and promoting worker safety on the job. Unless changes are made, Murthy said, the country will be less prepared for future public health emergencies and “we will send a message to millions of health care workers that their suffering does not matter.” The initiative comes as the Biden administration is mounting a nationwide push to address mental health issues. President Joe Biden unveiled a national strategy to expand mental health and drug abuse treatment during his State of the Union address in March. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

Do you want to grow your audience? Of course you do. Almost every podcaster I encounter wants a larger audience. On this episode, I want to give you ways to grow your audience in 30 days. Here are the resources mentioned in this episode: Libsyn: www.Libsyn.com The Feed podcast: thefeed.libsyn.com Strategy Transformation Call: www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/call Listener Development Worksheet: www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/listener STRATEGY CALL There are times when we are too close to the situation to see the solution. As the saying goes, "You can't see the forest for the trees." You are too close to the details to see the whole. This is the purpose of my new Strategy Transformation Call. I want to help you get clear on your goals and how to achieve them. If your strategy isn't working, or worse yet you have no strategy, this one hour of coaching is for you. You and I will get on a one-hour call to discuss where you are now. Then, we will clearly define your goals. Finally, we will develop a plan to reach those goals and see if I have any resources that will help you get there. An hour of my coaching is typically $250. These Strategy Transformation Calls are only $97. However, there are limited spots. I can't fill up my calendar. I need to leave room for my full clients. This also isn't a high pressure sales call. We will take the time to get to know each other and build your plan to win. I'll show you how to get there. If at the end of the call we both feel I can help you in some way, we can discuss it. But it needs to be right for both of us. Best of all, you'll be clear on how to reach your goals. Isn't that worth investing an hour of your time? You can keep wandering toward success. Or, you can build a map and follow it. Stop wasting your time throwing things against the wall to see what sticks. Let me show you what has worked for many of my clients over the years. Get your Strategy Transformation Call at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/call. The sooner you grab your call, the more options you'll have with regard to call times. See which calendar options are open for you. Grab your Strategy Transformation Call at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/call. Let me help you reach your goals. WHY GROW So, why do you want to grow your audience. I know it sounds like a crazy question. Who doesn't want to grow their audience? But, have you ever stopped to ask yourself why you want to grow? Do you want a big audience simply to feed your ego? Sure, it feels good to have a large audience. We can boast to our podcasting buddies. But what does it do for you and your business? We can't grow simply for the sake of growing. Maybe you want to leave your mark on the world. The impact you have on your audience is powerful. The bigger the audience, the bigger the impact. Maybe you want to build an audience of your ideal clients to help you grow your business. Your podcast could be all about motivation. It could be that you want to build an audience that you can inspire and motivate. When you know why you want to grow, you have a bigger purpose. This helps you stay motivated when the going gets tough. When you don't feel like doing the work, your why helps kick you in the butt and get you moving. Take a minute and get clear on your real why. Go three or four levels deeper to get to the real why. MY WHY When I first started Podcast Talent Coach, my goal was to be an entrepreneur. I wanted to own my own business just like my family. My mom created and sold wedding cakes from our kitchen. My dad owned a gas station at one point. Entrepreneurism runs through my family. My sister created a marketing company. In Florida, my aunt and uncle owned a restaurant. Another aunt owned a craft store and my uncle was a handyman. Even my nephews are entrepreneurs. It is in my blood. But history can't be my why. That isn't inspiring. And, I grew very slowly. Once my daughter and son hit high school, I realized my time with them at home was coming to an end. They would soon be traveling the world. I was stuck in a nine-to-five and couldn't freely follow them. It became clear that I needed to control my own time to allow myself to travel when I wanted and work wherever I needed. Time with my kids became my true why. When I don't feel like doing the work, I remember time with my family and get to work. It is easy for you to push this step aside and think you know your why. But, trust me. Take the time to get very clear on your why. Write it down and revise it until you get those butterflies in your stomach, because you know what is possible on the other side when you do the work. QUALITY So, how big is big enough? I really encourage you to focus on quality over quantity. An audience of a few hundred who are incredibly passionate about what you do is so much more powerful than an audience of a few thousand who have a superficial interest. Build your audience of your ideal clients who want to work with you and want everything you create. When you look at download numbers, it varies from podcast to podcast and industry to industry. Podcasts in the big three niches will have many more downloads than podcasts in smaller niches. You can't compare podcasts in different niches. It isn't apples to apples. Shows in the same niche often differ greatly when it comes to downloads. Avoid comparing yourself to the Joneses. You'll only be disappointed. THE DATA With that said, here are some stats straight from Libsyn, the podcast hosting service. Rob Walch, VP of Podcaster Relations at Libsyn, has presented the state of the union a few times at Podcast Movement. He also provides data monthly on the podcast The Feed. The data varies greatly every month. Rob looks at all podcasts on Libsyn that were released between 30 and 60 days ago. On average, these episodes are 45 days old. This data is based on active shows in the month of April, 2022. These are shows that are releasing new content, unlike the charts that show all shows. For the month of April, the median number of downloads for all active shows is 150. That means if you are getting 150 downloads for your episode after it has been available for 30 days, you are better than half of all shows currently releasing new episodes on Libsyn. To put it all in perspective, if you get more than 1,300 downloads, you are better than 80% of all active shows on Libsyn. More than 3,600 downloads puts you in the top 10%. If you have more than 8,200 downloads on your episode after it has been available for 30 days, you are better than 95% of all active shows on Libsyn. 21,000 downloads puts you in the top 2%. And 35,000 on an episode means you have more downloads than 99% of all podcasts available on Libsyn. Rob also gives the adjusted mean. This is the average where he throws out the top 0.5% along with those with 3 or fewer downloads. This helps avoid skewing the numbers by outliers. The adjusted mean is 1,561. NO SPONSORS Only 7.7% of all active podcasts on Libsyn get more than 5,000 downloads per episode after being available for 30 to 60 days. This 5,000 download number is the benchmark for advertising and sponsors. That means more than 92% of all podcasts have fewer than 5,000 and really aren't candidates for sponsors. Chances are, you fall into this 92% category. You can hear the episode at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/thefeed. And if you aren't using Libsyn as your hosting, you can get your first month for free by using my affiliate coupon code of PTC at Libsyn.com. Keep these numbers in mind and avoid comparing your show to others. Focus on your why and your listeners. Serve and you will reach your goals. WHERE ARE THEY Your listeners are key. You hear everyone encourage you to define your avatar. Most of the time we create this vague image of a group of people we want to reach. That is not your target listener. That group is your market, not your target. One person is your target. You want that person defined so clearly that you can picture that person in your mind. It is so clear that it reminds you of someone you know. When you get this clear on your ideal client, you know exactly where to find them. You will know what influencers have their attention, where they hang out online and how you can get in front of them. If you want to get really clear on your ideal listener and client, download my target listener worksheet at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/listener. This sheet will help you get focused on that one person. We will talk about this quite a bit on your Strategy Transformation Call. We can't hit a target we can't see. You and I will define this person and build a strategy to reach them. Get your call at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/call. THE EQUATION Once you have determined your ideal target listener and client, you can now build your audience. There are two sides of the equation. First, you need to get in front of your ideal listener and invite them to your show. Next, you need to keep your current listeners coming back episode after episode. If you don't focus on both sides of the equation, you will not see growth. If you only focus on getting new listeners, it is like pouring water in a bucket with holes. The more you add, the more that leaks out. Your podcast doesn't grow. When you only focus on your current listeners, attrition will cause your audience to shrink. Many podcasters promote new episodes by emailing their list and posting on social media. Those people already know you. That doesn't grow the audience. However, it does help keep your current listeners coming back. To grow your show, spend time on both sides of the equation. HOW TO GROW You can grow your show over the next 30 days by following a process. Step one is defining your target listener. Again, grab that worksheet and get clear. Download it at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/listener. Step two is to get in front of those listeners. Tell them what you do and how you help. Make them aware of you and your show. The next step is to get them on your email list. Many people invite those people to listen to the podcast. But if those people don't come back, you lose them forever. Step four is to invite them to listen. When you get them on your email list, you can continue the conversation and invite them to listen again and again. Finally step five is getting them to come back. Create a strategy that reminds listeners to come back every episode so you can build that relationship and monetize your show.

Biden calls for better kids privacy laws in State of the Union During his state of the Union address Tuesday, President Joe Biden called for better regulation of social media companies. First Lady Jill Biden invited Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen to the State of the Union – Haugen was the first to shed light on Facebook's (now, Meta's) internal efforts to target children as young as 6 on Instagram, and the fact that the company ignored its own research showing Instagram damaged teenage girls' self-esteem. Facebook is getting sensitive medical information The Markup reported yesterday that Facebook may have been receiving your medical information from a tracking tool – Pixel. Many hospitals use Pixel on their websites to track site visits. So let's say hypothetically that you search for a health condition on the hospital's website – well, for about a third of those sites, the tracking tool sends the information to Facebook. Johns Hopkins, UCLA ReaMgan, New York Presbyterian, Northwestern Memorial, and Duke University Hospital are among the hospitals that track site visitors with Pixel. Democrats led by Sen. Warren introduce bill that bans sale of location data In the wake of the leaked Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, which paves the way for red states to criminalize abortion procedures, Sen. Elizabeth Warren led a group of Democratic lawmakers to introduce a new bill – The Health and Location Data Protection Act – that would completely ban the sale of your location data. The bill also envisions empowering the Federal Trade Commission to intervene when necessary.   Advocates warn of hate speech problems in Klobuchar's antitrust bill Advocates including Free Press are pushing back against Amy Klobuchar's antitrust bill – the American Innovation and Choice Online Act – because they're concerned the bill would let companies that may have profited from hate speech and disinformation – like Infowars – to sue platforms like Google from banning them in search rankings. Advocates worry a provision that prohibits Google from favoring their own search results over smaller competitors  – could pave the way for disinformation profiteers to make anticompetitive accusations when platforms ban their sites. Elon Musk suggests  harmful content on Twitter should stay up if it's just entertainment Elon Musk announced to Twitter employees in a livestream that free speech issues should outweigh content moderation. Last month, said that he'd reinstate Donald Trump's account, although he said that prior to the commencement of the January 6th committee proceedings. Twitter's stock has steadily dropped from $54.20 per share, which was the price when Elon Musk made his $44 billion bid to purchase the company. At the closing bell today, Twitter was trading at $37.78. That's it for this week. You can find links to all of these stories in the show notes. Stay safe, stay informed, have a great weekend. See you Monday.

Hosts: Ruby Pinto and Gary Gibson Guest: Lisa Roman from the Attacking Third On this episode we recap the loss to KC and give a state of the Union for this ailing side. Team News! Torres to the U-23s! Preview of Sunday's revenge matchup against San Diego.

Host Bob St.Pierre is joined by Ted Koch, the executive director of the North American Grouse Partnership and a former U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service endangered species biologist, along with Ron Leathers, PF & QF's chief conservation officer, for a discussion about lesser prairie chickens and their likely listing as an endangered species. As a former endangered species biologist, Koch brings a depth of knowledge about the mechanics of an endangered species listing, as well as the conservation initiatives already underway to work with landowners around voluntary habitat programs for the birds. Episode Highlights: • Koch explains what ideal grassland habitat looks like for the lesser prairie chicken using a volleyball that's 80% covered in grass visualization, while Leathers talks about how using cattle on a grasslands landscape can help keep that volleyball 20% exposed and free from being overgrown by grass that's too tall or encroached upon by trees. • Koch also addresses the “shoot, shovel, and shut up” mentality often associated with an endangered species listing and how voluntary conservation programs, especially CRP, can be a major opportunity for landowners in the lesser prairie chicken's footprint. • Leathers also delivers a powerful message about how we often hear that quail are an “edge” species, but the fact they're considered an edge species is because the edge is all we leave them. Wide open grassland habitat created for lessers will also be terrific habitat for bobwhite quail.

Last November, President Biden signed a law that injected $108 billion into public infrastructure projects including clean energy targets. Birgit Matthiesen speaks with AFS Government Contracts Partner, Travis Mullaney, about how this law impacts the Buy America and Buy American Act.

We're still decompressing from yesterdays "State of the Union" by President Pat. We briefly discuss the Western Conference Sweep by the Colorado Avalanche before getting right back in to the GodFather. Tobin was Boots on the Ground as he was able to capture the Press Conference. Pat began things strong as he Challenged Ira Winderman to a Push up contest, Which Leroy Happily Obliged to provide our Twitch stream a quick 25 consecutive push ups. Next Pat addressed Kyle Lowry's conditioning expectations following a less than favorable season in that regard. We close the hour with Pats biggest coaching accomplishment and him gushing over PJ Tucker

Fina is still on the hunt for the bird that pooped on the President Fina's father was just named to a bipartisan group of lawmakers to come up with an immigration bill.

Like so many of you, we are crushed over the shootings in Uvalde. Our babies! BABIES! It is difficult to imagine that loss. At the beginning of this episode, we talked about summer plans with our kids and laughed together as we often do. There are too many families who will struggle to do that. We are sick of this. This episode is a "state of the union" style episode, where we process what we see and how it's impacting us and what we can do about it. It is good to remember that we are not helpless and we are not hopeless. We need to hold ourselves and others accountable to voice our concerns to legislators and to organizations that are causing hurt and harm to communities. It's not too late to make phone calls. Find your local, state, and federal legislators here: www.usa.gov/elected-officials Remember that the vast majority of people in government positions actually want to help others. If your heart is heavy over the SBC report, or another issue we didn't mention, consider writing a letter to express your concern or setting up a meeting with someone who has the power to make change. We love a good rant (you know this) but we can't stop at rants. We need to take action. We're proud of you listeners and we love you. Thank you for making change where you are. You're powerful and we're rooting for you!

Are you making the right investments, performing the right marketing and sales initiatives, and embracing the right platforms with the right messaging to position yourself to reach those numbers and beyond?The reality is this marketplace is unlike any other we've experienced before. And the honest truth is many Entrepreneurs, Startups, SMBs, Agencies, Marketers, BDMs, SDRs, B2Bs, SaaS, Tech, etc are missing the mark entirely because they haven't positioned the odds in their favor to succeed.70% of businesses will fail within five years or less. A big reason is businesses want to grow but don't know how to maintain their growth. This episode will explain how to operate, market, and sell your business to achieve sustainability first and scalability second.(P.S.

Sam and Emma host Harvey Kaye, professor emeritus of democracy at the University of Wisconsin, Green Bay, and Alan Minsky, executive director of the Progressive Democrats of America, to discuss their recent mission statement published in Common Dreams, the 21st Century Economic Bill of Rights. However, Emma and Sam first dive into yesterday's mass shooting at an elementary school in Texas, walking through the mass boom in gun sales over the past two years, the common link between mass shooters and violence against women, and the ahistorical neoliberal view that gun control is a revolutionary concept in the US. Then, they're joined by Professor Harvey Kaye and executive director Alan Minsky as they dive into the history of economic bills of rights, first proposed in the US by FDR as a centerpiece to his 1944 State of the Union, built on his economic declaration of rights and his concept of the four freedoms (speech, worship, freedom from want, freedom from fear), and looking to support the rights people wanted to see enumerated after World War II, seeing healthcare and jobs, particularly, as central to defeating the constraints of need. These concepts were then picked up by the democratic party under Truman, and even framed as the party platform in 1960 ahead of JFK's candidacy. Next, Kaye and Minsky walk through the 10 rights present in the 21st Century Declaration, including universal healthcare, the right to education and the internet, affordable and accessible housing, a clean environment, support at birth and in retirement, a fair justice system, sound financial services, and a right to recreation and participation in democratic life, all of which, as they walk through, are tied to current legislation supported by Bernie Sanders, the squad, and other progressives. Next, they dive into the rhetorical element of this fight, perhaps the one in which we have the longest to go, first looking at the relationship between liberty and governing powers, before diving into what a productive future for a progressive left in the US would look like, both in terms of changing the conversation and building on the CPC's existing role in the Democratic Party. And in the Fun Half: Emma and Sam talk with John from San Antonio as he dives into the more hopeful elements of the state of our politics, from unionization to Jessica Cisneros' continued hope, before they address Nancy Pelosi's robocall in support of an anti-choice anti-gun-control candidate, the massive Georgia turnout, and how we could see a positive drive for Democratic turnout in the midterms. David from Grand Junction discusses corporate America's refusal to hire amid their mindless drive for efficiency, teacher Lauren calls in on rising COVID rates in schools, and Isaac has an extensive conversation on Saudi Arabia's conflict in Yemen. In returning to the shooting, Sam and Emma discuss Beto O'Rourke performing maybe his first genuinely emotional political stunt, Newsmax pitching more cops in school once again, despite the myriad cops that were at this school who just decided to get themselves out of danger and leave it to the teachers, and Matt Walsh hails State Farm while Crowder goes full fash, plus, your calls and IMs!
