AI has made it easier than ever to create content, build a brand, and position yourself as an expert. But what happens when inspiration turns into imitation, or when someone uses AI to teach something they've never actually done?In this episode of the Social Proof Podcast, David Shands and Donni Wiggins break down the growing problem of creators copying content, stealing frameworks, and using AI to appear more experienced than they really are.They discuss the difference between being inspired by someone's work and taking their ideas word for word, why real experience still matters in the age of AI, and what happens when a coach or entrepreneur finally gets asked a question that AI can't answer for them.David and Donni also explain why successful entrepreneurs shouldn't be afraid of people learning from them, how innovation keeps you ahead of imitators, and why building a sustainable business requires staying in the lane of what you actually know.If you're a creator, coach, consultant, or entrepreneur using AI to grow your business, this conversation is one you need to hear.Join the Social Proof community and learn directly from David Shands and Donni Wiggins at TheSocialProofCircle.comSubscribe to the Social Proof Podcast for more conversations on business, entrepreneurship, content, money, and building a brand that lasts.Our Sponsors:* Check out Storyblocks and use my code storyblocks.com/socialproof for a great deal: https://www.storyblocks.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

A rant fueled by fake hair and GLP-1s spirals into Wells creating a new rule: if you're getting ripped, you're cheating on your wife. Period!Your favorite hosts had quite the week, from Wells' potential $12,000 emergency vet bill to Brandi's stinky garbage from Noah's Cracker Barrel leftovers. Wells questions Brandi's donkey collection, falls in love with the Walmart goat lady, and reminisces about the drunk cigarette days. Their favorites list this week may be small, but their tangents are unhinged. Wells and Brandi split hard on the new Green Lantern show, and Brandi advocates for wild horses.

For twenty-five years, exorcists have been sending a New York psychiatrist the cases they can't explain, and they chose him because they expected him to say no.==========HOUR ONE: Different peoples build their identity around different facets of their culture: the Italians around their food, the Greeks around their architecture, America around expanding waistlines. The Isle of Man, however, has pinned its identity today on low tax rates, motorcycle races and, oh yes… mermaids and fairies. (Catching Mermaids on Man) *** Would you be willing to eat your meals off the chest of a corpse, in the process, taking on their sins as your own? That's the gruesome job of a sin eater – and there were people willing to do it even into twentieth-century. (Would You Become a Sin Eater?) *** Dr Richard Gallagher is a New York psychiatrist and a psychiatric professor. He has spent twenty-five years viewing exorcisms – and he says 'fallen angels' target the devout AND those who've meddled with the occult. He says it outright – being possessed by a demon can and does happen, and he has seen it all too often. (Psychiatrist Says Demonic Possession Is Real) *** UK homeowners believe their homes are haunted and want to rid themselves of them, while Americans don't care if a house is haunted so long as it has a swimming pool! (Ghostly Homes And Ghost-Loving Buyers)==========HOUR TWO: Investigators noted the hair on the alleged victim's arms was singed, and the skin burned. The grass where he claimed to have had the encounter was also scorched. Did this scoutmaster and the boys with him truly experience a real UFO sighting in 1952, or was it all a hoax? (The Scouts and the UFO) *** An atheist tells his story about being possessed by demons... or maybe he wasn't. (I Thought I Was Possessed By The Devil) *** Is the Thunderbird real or myth?  Most would say it is myth – or if it was real, it's now extinct. But then how do you explain sightings of the massive airborne creature as recently as 2018? (The Giant Thunderbird Lives) *** Sometimes, the darkness of night can hide frightening secrets. Especially if you are alone. (You'll Never Guess What Happened While You Were Asleep)==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: Robert Ressler came up against a lot of resistance, but his dedicated focus on the minds and motives of serial murderers created what we know today as criminal profiling. (The Man Who Created Criminal Profiling) *** An atheist tells his story about being possessed by demons... or maybe he wasn't.

Sometimes we like to share things going on in our lives, this week is my turn. I just got back from a trip to Winnepeg, spending some time with friends we met last year. Besides being the nicest people I've ever met (that's coming from a Canadian), they also showed us a really good time in Canadian cottage country.

The best movie of the year (according to Wells) that's hard to watch with your partner, and must-watch documentaries on today's episode of Your Favorite Thing.Wells shares what it's like to be in his brain, while Brandi's fresh off a VIP night at Nashville's PBR event, watching bull riders eat dirt from a platform right above the chute. Plus, Sarah's off to London for six months to play Sally Bowles in Cabaret and Brandi's STILL mid-move into the new house.Naturally, their conversation spirals into a financial planning discussion followed by a full CBS Sunday Morning deep-dive on Amish dating rules... Oh, and the Lululemon "Big Ass Bag" reviews get a dramatic reading they did not ask for.

Last week we established that voice is the narrator's personality. This week, we look at all five elements that make up voice and see if your narrator is a real person or just you in disguise.

Quis joins Selection Process for a raw conversation about dating, relationships, standards, leadership, faith, and why he's remained single for nearly 10 years.At 43, Quis says he knows exactly what he wants in a woman and isn't willing to compromise just to say he's in a relationship. He breaks down the one question he asks women to determine compatibility, why he believes a man should lead the relationship, and why exclusivity doesn't automatically mean someone is his girlfriend.The conversation gets even deeper as David challenges him on submission, marriage, physical attraction, intimacy before marriage, and whether his standards are actually helping him find a wife or keeping him single.Is Quis being intentional about choosing the right woman, or are his standards making it almost impossible to find her?Watch the full episode and tell us what you think in the comments.Would YOU pass Quis' selection process?Follow Quis https://www.instagram.com/stillchivalrous/Our Sponsors:* Check out Storyblocks and use my code storyblocks.com/socialproof for a great deal: https://www.storyblocks.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

What if one of the biggest wealth building opportunities isn't buying another house, but owning the land?In this episode of the Social Proof Podcast, David sits down with Charles to break down land ownership, real estate investing, development, and building long term wealth.Charles explains how everyday people can start buying land, why he believes ownership creates freedom, and how vacant land can generate income in ways most people never consider, including turning land near highways and distribution centers into paid truck parking.They also discuss renting versus owning, paying off your home, building from the ground up, and creating assets that can be passed down for generations.If you're serious about real estate, entrepreneurship, financial freedom, and generational wealth, this episode is for you.Subscribe to the Social Proof Podcast for more conversations about business, money, real estate, and entrepreneurship.Join the Social Proof community:TheSocialProofCircle.comOur Sponsors:* Check out Storyblocks and use my code storyblocks.com/socialproof for a great deal: https://www.storyblocks.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Is paying thousands of dollars for a course, conference, or business event actually worth it?In this episode of the Social Proof Podcast, David Shands and Donni Wiggins break down the conversation surrounding Invest Fest, business conferences, coaching programs, networking, and why some entrepreneurs walk away feeling transformed while others feel like they wasted their money.Donni shares how she once invested $5,000 into a course and used what she learned from that experience to help create a business that went on to generate millions.David and Donni also discuss why execution matters more than simply buying information, how to approach conferences strategically, the power of getting into the right rooms, dealing with criticism and negative publicity, protecting your reputation, and why entrepreneurs have to stop allowing social media opinions to make decisions for them.Sometimes the opportunity isn't the problem.

Welcome to Season 10 of Writing Break! This season is all about voice, which is the thing literary agents, publishers, and readers fall in love with. In this premiere, we're setting up our makeshift Overthinking Conference Room to nail down the vocabulary that will guide us through the entire season.

När träldomen avskaffades i Norden säkrades arbetskraften åt godsägare och bönder genom en strikt lagstiftning som tvingade alla som inte hade råd att betala skatt att arbeta för en husbonde. En lagstiftning som infördes på 1200-talet levde i någon mån kvar ända till 1920-talet.Med tiden skärptes arbetstvånget med hot om hårda straff och tvångsutskrivningar till armén. Legohjon levde i stor utsatthet därför att våld var påbjudet medel i arbetsledning och pigor utsattes för sexuella övergrepp av sina husbönder. Samtidigt var möjligheten att byta husbonde mycket begränsad och möjligheten att själv starta en gård nästan obefintlig.I detta avsnitt av podden Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med Martin Andersson, historiker vid Avdelningen för agrarhistoria vid Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet. Han är aktuell med boken Från trälar till tjänstefolk - Legofolk i Sverige 1250-1600.Träldomen avskaffades på 1300-talet eftersom legofolk eller tjänstefolk var en mer effektiv organisering av arbetet. Redan på 1200-talet infördes legofolksinstitutionen som tvingade fattiga att arbeta för en husbonde. Syftet var att hålla fast fattiga i en arbetsrelation och att legohjon skulle förbli fattiga. Legan, eller lönen, var sällan mer än mat, husrum och kläder. Men arbetskraftsbristen i digerdödens spår drev upp löner, men också lönereglering från statsmakten som gärna gick bönder och godsherrar till mötes.Under mer än ett halvt årtusende, från tidig medeltid och ända in på 1900-talet, var arbete som legohjon en av de vanligaste sysselsättningarna i Sverige. I de flesta byar i landet fanns såväl år 1300 som år 1800 åtminstone någon dräng eller piga, och detsamma gällde på herrgårdar, vid bruk och i städer. Omyndiga kunde bli legohjon, och även besuttna bönders barn blev legohjon. Vissa legohjon var gifta, och en legoman och hans hustru kunde till och med tänkas arbeta i två olika hushåll.Vid slutet på 1500-talet arbetade de flesta drängar och pigor på gods eller hos rika bönder - de flesta saknade helt möjligheter att själva bli husbonde.Bild: Legomannen misshandlas av sin husbonde för att han stulit mat som svinen skulle haft.Södra Råda gamla kyrka, Fotograf: Pål-Nils Nilsson / Riksantikvarieämbetet, [Creative Commons,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:Creative_Commons) [Attribution 2.5 Generic](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/deed.en)Musik: Mercy And Forgiveness av Ananta Kongka; Storyblocks audio.Lyssna också på Trälarnas liv och Tunnes träluppror.

Is this moment-of-death photograph that starts the film technically a snuff pic? Aren't they asking way too much of this bumbling buffoon for only being King a couple weeks? How much cash did Burger King sink into this cinematic misadventure? And is there a single scene here with a sober Peter O'Toole?

Season 10 is on hold because the rules for literary agents just changed, and not necessarily in the author's favor. This episode tells you exactly what questions to ask before you sign (or pay for) anything.

Wells gets manhandled by his own nieces and nephews in a water basketball game he compares to fighting Jake Paul, then tears up over a dance dedicated to a contestant's late mom on Dancing With the Stars: The Next Pro. Brandi has her first ever caviar bump and gets told by Wells that turning one down would be "financially irresponsible," right before she invents a whole new way to say the common phrase "nickel and dime."They also debate self driving cars and spiral into a full Bigfoot conspiracy (including a theory on female Bigfoots, or "Littlefeets"). They break down Sarah's theory of "pretasting" your food before you even order it, and pitch their dream retirement community for millennials, complete with golf carts and a pool bar.FAVORITE THINGS:Dancing With the Stars: The Next Pro (Hulu)Lucky (Apple TV)Famous by Blake CrouchRansom Canyon Season 2 (Netflix)Shrinking (Apple TV)Thanks for tuning in, YFTers.

It's been quite a while since Dave changed the strings on his guitar (and even longer for me), so we take a minute to talk about how much we forgot and what's still in our minds. Since installing iOS 27, my favorite app is Apple's built in Weather app. The updates may seem small, but if you use it a lot, it's an incredible upgrade. This is how Apple should update apps--it's not just about adding 100 new features, it's about making those features work better for the user. Apple just finished a round of hardware price increases and now the company is increasing pricing on its subscription too. I would rather pay after seeing if the software is going to get any better.

We're closing the book on genre, two seasons, dozens of subgenres, and a lot of overthinking later. This week we revisit some highlights: novel architecture and the dreaded middle-of-the-book slump, why cross-genre mashups can backfire if you get too ambitious, the tension between writing what you love and writing what sells, adaptation lessons from film and video games, and how genres evolve to match whatever readers are actually afraid of right now.Did I miss a genre you wanted covered? Let me know. Next up: Season 10 is all about voice, including what it actually is and how to find yours.

On this week's show we talk about the passing of Om Malik, a wonderful man and a friend to many. Dave has some thoughts on the impact of the recent price hikes for Apple hardware and what it could mean for future products. We still don't know what will happen if you replace Siri with Claude in iOS 27, so I asked Claude his understanding. Not as good as I had hoped. There is a Hide My Email bug that Apple software was alerted about last year that allows people to see your real icloud.com email address, but Apple has yet to fix it. For a company that preaches on how important privacy and security is, you would think they'd be all over this. Maybe they'll get to it next year.

Welcome to WORK! Today we're unpacking the future of social media & how creators using Claude to create content, although it's an amazing feature - it's changing the creator economy

Everyone in your life thinks your book would make a great movie, play, or video game. But adaptation isn't a copy-paste job because every medium solves storytelling problems differently. This week, we put one scene through four different mediums to see what each one reveals about craft, whether or not you ever plan on adapting anything.

Should you write what you love or write what sells? Is it possible to do both?In this episode of Writing Break, we explore how writers can stop chasing trends and, instead, find the overlap between personal passion and commercial viability.

Cross-genre fiction is thriving, but blending genres successfully requires more than adding a dragon to a murder mystery (sad, but true). If you're writing a cross-genre novel, planning to write one, or wondering whether your manuscript accidentally became one, this episode will help you blend genres without confusing your readers.

Some monsters don't lurk in the dark — they wear a familiar face and sit down at your table. | June 07, 2026 #WDRadio==========HOUR ONE: In the 1960s, Brian Leathley-Andrew investigated and reported on numerous cases of strange objects in the sky, trying to get to the truth of what people were seeing. But when sinister events began happening to him, he knew he had to walk away from his career in Ufology – or the government might make him go away. (UFO Hunter Becomes The Hunted) *** Saying the disappearance of David Glenn Lewis is bizarre doesn't even begin to scratch the surface. What started out as a strange missing person's case would eventually be resolved. But the answer that would come would pose even more questions, proving the adage that “truth is stranger than fiction”. (The Disappearance of David Glenn Lewis) *** The idea of a person changing into a wolf, or shape-shifting into some type of animal or cryptid is mostly confined to the authors of fictional horror. But not all societies and cultures are so quick to label shape-shifting as make-believe. (Shapeshifters And Therianthropes)==========HOUR TWO: “The Gadsden Hotel in Cochise County, Arizona” *** When you hear the name “Transylvania” the immediate image in your mind is probably that of Dracula. But this Romanian town has more creepiness than just the Count's castle – it is also a hot spot for UFO activity and mysterious unexplained happenings. Some even think it could be the location of a portal to another dimension. (Is There A Dimensional Portal in Transylvania?) *** Sightings of unidentified flying objects might seem like a recent phenomena, with most reports occurring in the 20th and 21stcenturies. But UFO sightings go a lot further back in human history – and our ancient ancestors were just as shocked, confused and sometimes terrified, as we are today. (Ancient UFO Sightings)==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: A man goes off for supplies, leaving his wife behind to tend to the home in his absence – but not only did he never come home with the groceries, but a ghost story grew out of it. (The Ghosts of Hunger Valley) *** A UFO incident which we have covered before, but is worth looking at again, is an incident in 1952. This was one of the first admitted entity sightings and probably also one of the earliest close encounters of the third kind investigated officially at the time it took place.==========SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM TONIGHT'S SHOW:“The Gadsden Hotel in Cochise County, Arizona” from Paranormality Magazine“Is There A Dimensional Portal in Transylvania?” by A.

What keeps a novel interesting after the premise stops being new?In this episode, I share the most important question to ask yourself while writing, no matter what genre you're writing. I also analyze why some novels start out strong but struggle to sustain themselves to the end.

May 31, 2026: They say the fires at Caledonia Mills started on their own, but anyone who spent a night there knew something far more sinister was at work.==========HOUR ONE: “The Witching Hour of 3AM” *** You don't have to go to a cemetery or haunted house to experience the supernatural. You don't need to drive a cursed road to encounter a ghost. Sometimes the paranormal takes place on military bases. (The Military And The Mysterious) *** The corpse of a murderer winds up doing advertising for a drug store. (The Murder of Maggie Walker) *** In 1922, an otherwise unremarkable farmhouse in Novia Scotia was the site of alleged poltergeist activity which made headlines all over Canada and the United States. A poltergeist that liked to set fires. (The Fire Spook of Caledonia Mills)==========HOUR TWO: Claiming to audibly hear from God either makes you crazy, or a prophet – and only time can tell which is true. If you claim things are going to happen because God says they will – and then they don't happen – that means you're cray cray, and a false prophet. That also makes your followers a bunch of dupes. Sadly, the 19th and 20th centuries were full of crazy false prophets with mindless sheep worshipping them. (Creating False Prophets) *** Headline: “Exciting Wake!” When you see the words “exciting” and “wake” in the same headline, you can make a guess that someone is not resting in peace! (Exciting Wake)==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: A smitten fan falls in love with a talented actress, and convinces himself she loves him in return. This sounds very much like a story out of today's entertainment magazines – but this tale of unrequited love took place in the 1880's. (The Lunatic James Dougherty) *** The terrifying Aswang is the most feared creature of Philippine folklore—and with good reason. I'll tell you why. (The Deadly Aswang) ** Reports have been coming in from people claiming to see full-sized African lions not in the Savannah or in the wilderness – but in North America. But is there any truth to the their claims?

An English butcher murdered his wife the day his exorcism ended, the Son of Sam blamed his neighbor's dog, and a forked-tongued occultist who called himself Pazuzu buried bodies in his backyard — and every one of them swore it was the demon who did it. | #WDRadio May 10, 2026==========HOUR ONE: “The devil made me do it.” It's an excuse that has been used so often by so many that it has lost its meaning, and its effectiveness. So only a fool or a madman would commit a horrible act and then try to blame it on the devil or a demon… unless, of course, that person truly believes that is exactly what happened to them. (A Demon Made Me Do It) *** The little Norwegian village of Bærum Verk still stands as an old foundry settlement, and is an active place, both as a place to work, and as a place to live – and as a place to keep living even after you're dead. (The Most Haunted Village in Norway) *** There are more than a few stories from upright citizens around the world who claim to have seen tiny humans. I'm not talking about the diminutive human beings we used to classify as dwarves or midgets until we became more enlightened. I'm talking about short, maybe two-foot tall, perfectly proportioned people. (Big Stories About Little People)==========HOUR TWO: Like many desolate places, the Arctic has its share of ghost stories and haunted legends floating around the frigid, wild areas of its domain. It might be the frights rather than the cold that gives you goosebumps. (Ghostly Shivers of the Arctic Circle) *** You never know what might be lurking just out of sight – in the shadows, behind a door. I'll share a few true stories that might make you double-check the locks at night and check the closet before going to bed. (Never Trust The Dark) *** When you think of the Salem Witch Trials, you typically think of women being burned at the stake, innocently accused of witchcraft. There are two incorrect assumption about that mental picture. First, most of the accused were hung, and none have been truly verified to be burned alive. And second, sorcery and Satan worship were not seen to be bound by gender, and so either a man, woman, boy, or girl could be a witch. And one of those unfortunate men was Giles Corey – but his punishment went beyond the norm, and into the gruesome. (The Most Dreadful Execution of The Salem Witch Trials)==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: When John and Eva were married they told their relatives that they planned to honeymoon on the Atlantic coast, but John had another plan, and it would not be his last deception. But it would be the first act in what ended up being a mystery that has still gone unsolved to this day. (The Lawrenceburg Shanty-Boat Mystery) *** Weirdo family member James Pierce brings a true story that he calls, “It Came Through the Screen Door”. *** A 5-year-old boy having the time of his life at a carnival suddenly goes missing – and when found later there is no evidence whatsoever as to how he got where he was, who took him there, or what happened to him before he was found. (The Disturbing Case of Little Stephen McKerron) *** Weirdo family member Joy Cruz remembers something her mother told her as a child… and it quite possibly saved her soul.

Shadow people slip through the dark in three escalating forms — fleeting glimpses, lingering watchers, and rare physical encounters that defy every rational explanation. But what are they?HOUR ONE: When you think of human sacrifice, you might picture Aztec or Mayan ceremonies, or maybe a Satanic cult standing in a pentagram with a naked woman on an altar – possibly even a volunteer. Personally, I picture Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. While civilizations and groups such as these certainly did (and maybe still do) their share of brutal sacrificing, they are by no means the only ones that conducted death rituals. Some will most certainly surprise, and possibly disturb, you. (Sadistic Sacrificing of Souls) *** A shadow person is a humanoid figure that you perceive in a patch of shadow. Some believe that they are supernatural spirits or extra-dimensional beings. What are they? Paranormal researchers have a theory, neuroscientists have another theory. (Contact With a Shadow Man) *** An astronomy professor says we should begin focusing on space archaeology – starting with our own moon. Why? Well, he believes E.T. might have left a clue there of his existence. (Extraterrestrial Evidence on the Moon) *** Thousands of years ago, people were performing a form of surgery that involved boring holes through a person's skull. Why on earth would they do such a thing? (Trepanation: I Need That Like Another Hole In The Head) *** What Does It Mean To Dream About Aliens?==========HOUR TWO: David Parker Ray is believed to have tortured and killed more than 50 women inside his soundproof trailer. A trailer he referred to as his “toy box”. (The Toy Box Killer) *** Two friends sipping soda and playing pool find the green table stained blood red, with no warning whatsoever. (Murder At The Pool Table) *** Malta, Italy is known for its splendid ruins, historical monuments, and ancient sites, but one of these places stands out; a mysterious underground complex that holds with in it many enigmas and oddities that remain unsolved to this day. (Malta's Cryptic Catacombs) *** Weirdo family member Robert Foster tells of a creepy incident that happened to him while working security at an army depot in Oregon. (The Phantom Truck) *** Imagine opening up the newspaper and reading this paragraph: “If anyone doubts this story in the least… they are reliable men who would under no circumstances lend their names to an untruth.” Newspapers just do not stand by their sources this unwaveringly, at least not anymore… and especially if the subject of the article is a haunted house. (The Ghost Told Them To Move)==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: What if we were to discover there were aliens still living on the moon – and they were meddling in our affairs? How would you feel about that? Should extraterrestrials interfere in human affairs if they can help our society, or should we refuse that kind of leap in technology and medicine? (Should Aliens Interfere With Earthly Affairs?) *** Those who work nights are already in the creepy position of working what is called the “graveyard shift” - so you have to expect something to go wrong. If you are a security guard actively looking for something out of the ordinary during the graveyard shift, you know you're going to go home with stories to tell.
