In the latest episode of Facts vs Feelings, Ryan Detrick, Chief Market Strategist, and Sonu Varghese, VP, Global Macro Strategist, hosted a special Halloween livestream featuring Joe Fahmy, Managing Director at Zor Capital, and Warren Pies, Co-Founder and Strategist at 3Fourteen Research. Together they explore what's driving markets at the end of 2025—from AI-led growth and investor sentiment to fiscal spending, oil, and the broader economic outlook. The result is an entertaining and insightful look at how two veteran strategists interpret this bull market and what it could mean heading into 2026 and beyond.Key TakeawaysJoe Fahmy Segment:Broad-Based Bull Market: Joe sees strength well beyond the “Magnificent 7,” with AI, quantum computing, and clean energy creating multiple growth engines.Adaptability Over Bias: He stresses that successful investors aren't perma-bulls or perma-bears. They adapt as the data changes.Technical Discipline: Joe relies on the 50-day moving average to define market health. Above it, stay constructive; below it, get defensive.Cautious Sentiment: He notes that many investors remain nervous, which helps sustain the market's “wall of worry” and supports further upside.AI as the Next Revolution: He predicts the current bull market could extend into 2027 as AI transforms productivity similar to past technological breakthroughs.Warren Pies Segment:Debasement: Warren frames today's cycle as a shift from deflation fears to worries about fiscal expansion, debt, and currency dilution.Equities as Inflation Hedges: He highlights that S&P 500 earnings have outpaced inflation nearly every year since 2009, proving stocks' resilience.Energy Outlook: Warren maintains a bearish view on oil, citing signs of oversupply and weakening global demand.Equity and Yield Outlook: He expects modest but positive stock gains through 2026 as yields drift lower and fiscal support remains steady.Economic View: Warren describes the U.S. economy as being in a “muddle-through slowdown,” with government spending and the wealth effect offsetting recession risks.Joe and Warren are not affiliated with CWM, LLC.

The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as CN Rail, PSAC, and the Canadian Nuclear Isotope Council.Greetings, you curiouser and curiouser Herle Burly-ites. Remember about 15 years ago, when the publicly-troubled-at-the-time actor Charlie Sheen went viral for invoking the word “WINNING!” all over the place and in some pretty odd ways. Even when he wasn't winning.Charlie's past that now. But let me submit our guest today has full rights to that word: Veteran PC and Conservative Party campaign manager, Steve Outhouse. He managed Premier Tony Wakeham's majority winning campaign just a couple of weeks ago in Newfoundland. As well as Premier Smith's UCP majority victory in Alberta.Steve hails from Freeport, Long Island in southwest Nova Scotia. He worked in various comms roles in the Harper government before moving on to helm 3 federal CPC Leadership campaigns, as well as provincial leadership campaigns in Nova Scotia, PEI and the aforementioned Newfoundland and Labrador. He's the founder of the “Just Campaigns” consultancy and says he's “a bad business person”, but winning elections isn't exactly bad for business. We'll talk today a little more about Steve's background about what animates his political life. Then we'll do a deep dive into modern campaign mechanics: What works today? What doesn't? I want his thoughts on “hot button” issues and how best to use them. Then, and this particularly relevant because he was Chief of Staff to Pierre Poilievre prior to 2015, what advice would Steve give to the federal Conservatives?Thank you for joining us on #TheHerleBurly podcast.

Imagination and Strategy in Organizations Michael and Rebecca explored the role of imagination in organizational development, focusing on how it can help teams break free from routine and avoid burnout. Rebecca emphasized the value of developing strategy collaboratively and embedding it into systems so it becomes actionable. Michael shared a personal story about a team exercise that strengthened his relationship with his CEO, showing how facilitation can break down silos and build vulnerability within teams. Proactive Leadership in Volatile Times Rebecca highlighted the importance of facilitated conversations to create shared language and vivid pictures of possible futures. She stressed that leaders must take agency in shaping the future during times of uncertainty. Michael reflected on his leadership experience during the Great Recession, noting how proactive strategies and market exploration were essential. Both agreed that preparation and action are far better than waiting passively for challenges to unfold. Constraints Spark Creative Solutions Rebecca explained how constraints can ignite creativity, comparing children who produce better art with limited supplies to organizations that innovate within boundaries. She pointed out that major failures like the 2008 financial crisis and the 9/11 attacks were tied to a lack of imagination and unpreparedness for unexpected events. Imagination for Effective Planning Michael and Rebecca discussed how imagination can help leaders plan for multiple scenarios, both positive and negative. They emphasized that envisioning different futures calms the nervous system and prepares people for surprises. Michael encouraged leaders to think beyond worst-case scenarios, exploring opportunities for growth and using positive goal-setting to shape desired outcomes. Imagination in Strategic Decision-Making Rebecca emphasized the need to align emotions with rational decision-making and create compelling shared visions that motivate people. She argued that imagination should be treated as a serious, forward-looking tool rather than relying only on traditional approaches that analyze past performance. Imagination not only makes strategy development more effective but also more engaging and enjoyable. Website and Merchandise Rebecca shared details about her work and invited listeners to visit RebeccaSoutherns.com, where they can explore free resources and her "Possibility Packs," merchandise designed to spark imagination. Dr. Rebecca Sutherns – Imagination Strategist for Purpose-Driven Leaders Rebecca Sutherns, Ph.D., is the CEO and Founder of Sage Solutions, where she helps purpose-driven leaders close the gap between what matters most to them and what they actually do. With more than 27 years of global experience as a bestselling author, master facilitator, and coach, Rebecca is known for turning imagination into a strategic advantage. She brings analytical rigor, warm energy, and adaptability to strategy, governance, and decision-making. Her work began with a simple but powerful observation: many leaders stay stuck in past patterns, overlooking new possibilities. She discovered that a “failure of imagination” is often the hidden reason behind team misalignment and even global challenges. Today, she equips Boards and executives to distinguish what is fixed from what is flexible as they shape the future in times of rapid change. Through her ELASTIC framework, Rebecca helps non-profit leaders reimagine their next chapter with creativity and clarity. Whether through strategic planning facilitation or her innovative Possibility Packs, she champions imagination as a learnable skill and a collective practice—helping leaders co-create vivid mental pictures of what's possible and proactively "dent the world."

How to Dream, Drive, and Deliver Plan D: How Disruptors Turn Problems into Possibilities Disruptors aren't pyromaniacs—they're builders. Mike Maddock has launched seven companies, advised Fortune 100 innovators, and co-chaired the Gathering of Titans at MIT. In this episode, we unpack his Plan D: the mindsets, rooms, and questions that turn pressure into breakthroughs—and why your "ghost" might be your greatest edge. Key Points + Reflection Questions: See possibilities where others see problems. Disruptors reframe first, act second. Reflect: Where am I labeling something a "problem" that might be a doorway? Engineer the room. Great peer groups have diverse lenses: Operator, Strategist, Rainmaker, Visionary, Futurist, Orchestrator. If your room is lopsided, your answers will be too. Reflect: Which lens is missing on my leadership team? Outlaw advice; share experience. "Here's what I did, what happened, and what I'd do differently" preserves agency and truth. Reflect: What experience can I share instead of advice? Accountability by consent. Ask, "Do you want to be held accountable?" before forcing metrics. Reflect: Where am I imposing accountability before readiness? Your ghost is fuel—know it. The chip on your shoulder can be an edge if you name it and measure it. Reflect: What ghost is chasing me—and how do I chase it instead? Decision frameworks that travel. Use a simple 2×2 (Value vs. Cost) and the value-rank approach for hard, competing-values calls. Reflect: Which 2×2 priorities am I acting on this quarter? Ask better questions (1-3-1). One issue, three options, one recommendation—or one core question, three leading questions, one most important question. Reflect: What's the single most leveraged question I can ask today? Money Learning: Wealth isn't a number; it's the ability to do what you want, when you want, with whom you want—without being distracted by money. Many entrepreneurs can make money but still obsess over it. Systems create freedom; obsession steals it. Key Takeaway: Engineer your environment and questions; the right room + the right prompts turn pressure into possibility. Guest Bio: Mike Maddock is an entrepreneur, author, and coach known as the "Idea Monkey" for his boundless creativity and disruptive thinking. He has founded seven companies—including Maddock Douglas, an innovation consultancy that served more than a quarter of the Fortune 100, and Flourish Advisory Boards, a peer community for growth-minded CEOs. A contributor to Forbes and Inc., and author of four books including Plan D, Mike helps leaders reframe problems into possibilities and rediscover the joy of doing what they want, when they want, with whom they want—without being distracted by money.

Our bodies have an innate ability to tell the time – it evolved so that we were inclined to rest when it was safe, and were keener on travelling or hunting and gathering when food was plentiful. The sun and our body’s ability to perceive its light kept our internal clocks ticking along consistently. But today, many of us spend most of our days indoors, and much of our nights in artificial light. We’ve confused our internal clocks, and that can wreak havoc on our bodies and minds. Dr Jacob Crouse is on a mission to improve the lives of people living with depressive and bipolar disorders – and it turns out light may be one of the keys to fulfilling that mission. Jake explains why people affected by bipolar disorder tend to have more disrupted ‘circadian rhythms,’ and what his research reveals about everybody’s need for the right light at the right time. +++ The Solutionists is podcast from the University of Sydney, produced by Deadset Studios.

As women, we often have a difficult time calling ourselvesby the right name. This might be due to how we have been treated in life, our own woundedness, or just an overall lack of understanding about who we are and whose we are. Have you ever caught yourself referring to yourself as dumb, stupid, fat, clumsy, or worse? I can assure you that the Creator of theUniverse calls you many beautiful names. There is an amazing story in the Gospels that describes awoman who undoubtedly felt less than adequate or valuable in any way. However, Jesus calls her "Daughter of Abraham," a name that had never been used or heard before. This was no mistake, and certainly deserves a deeper look. Women are so multi-faceted and wear so many hats, yet in all of that, wecan easily lose our identity, and our REAL name. Listen in as Tiffany Jo Baker speaks with Rosie DiBianca, author of the book, He Calls Me Daughter. Together, they will discuss the true meaning of the name "Daughter of Abraham."Listen in for: How we might use names for ourselves that are untrue Why Jesus singled out the women in scripture What our Heavenly Father REALLY thinks of us as women How believing what God calls us can change ourrelationship with Him and outlook on life Favorite Quotes: "Daughter is a term of endearment, daughter is a term of inclusion, and of being beloved." - Rosie DiBianca "When other people see us, hear us...that's the ministry of Jesus right there." - Rosie DiBianca "The Bible is not just a text, it's active, it's living, it's the sword of the Spirit." - Tiffany Jo Baker Favorite Scripture: "The Lord answered him, “You hypocrites! Doesn't eachof you on the Sabbath untie your ox or donkey from the stall and lead it out to give it water? Then should not this woman, a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has kept bound for eighteen long years, be set free on the Sabbath day fromwhat bound her?” - Luke 13:15-1 To find more information about Rosie DiBianca, please followher at https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61581059926580.

For centuries, acupuncture has been a cornerstone of Traditional Chinese Medicine, offering a powerful lens into the body's natural healing intelligence using the precise placement of ultra-fine needles. Rooted in the concept of meridians—an intricate network of energy pathways—this ancient practice seeks to restore balance and harmony, thereby proposing relief from chronic pain, inflammation, and even stress. Can these invisible channels and their said connections to our organs really unlock profound pathways to healing and tangible pain relief?Dr. Lauren Kuei, DACM, L.Ac, RYT, is a licensed and board-certified acupuncturist, registered yoga teacher, and clinical herbalist at Nava Wellness, an acupuncture and Eastern Asian Medicine Practice in New York City. She received her Doctorate of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine (DACM) from the Pacific College of Health and Sciences in San Diego.

It's safe to say Democrats are going through something of an identity crisis at the moment. They have no clear leaders, no driving issues, and no real power in Washington. And that makes the current government shutdown an interesting test case for Democratic leaders like Chuck Schumer over what they think their voters want and how best to fight Donald Trump.Our guest today, Democratic strategist Lis Smith, has not minced words when it comes to perceptions of her party.She told the New York Times that the Democratic brand was “in the toilet” and recently called for Democrats to “burn the party establishment down.”Smith, however, is not some upstart campaign disruptor. She's a veteran of twenty political campaigns, most recently as a senior adviser to Pete Buttigieg's 2020 presidential campaign.This makes her critique of the party and the work she's doing this cycle to try and fix it worth understanding and exploring more deeply.We recorded this conversation on Wednesday, October 7th.

Is your heart shut-down, numb or masked? Have life's circumstances caused you to put up a wall or cover your pain with various coping mechanisms? I think if we are being honest, each one of us has done some degree of withdrawing emotionally. God is ALWAYS one prayer away, yet it is common to eitherignore our need to turn to Him, or just do everything we can to cope on our own. Many have a lifetime of numbing their heartache with a variety of vices. Without doing the work of dealing with pain, there will never be true freedom from it apart from a miracle. We all live in this fallen world, and none of us is above heartache, but we can take an active role in tending to our hearts and what goes on inside it. Join Tiffany Jo Baker today as she speaks with author, speaker and teacher Joy Scott on the topic of keeping your heart alive when life hurts.Listen in for:Why all of us experience hurts in this lifeHow we can take an active role in keeping our hearts aliveWhen God might ask you to reach out for helpWhat the Bible says about tending to your heartFavorite Quotes:"As humans, what we want to do is hide, numb, and mask." - Tiffany Jo Baker"Their hearts are hurting, so it's coming out as hate, violence, abuse, depression, anxiety, or extreme fear." - Tiffany Jo Baker"This is not our home; we are all passing through.

Host: Annik Sobing Guest: Bonnie Gutz Published: October 12, 2025 Length: ~29 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center Europe's Balancing Act: Free Trade, Green Goals, and the Future of Trade Strategy In this Simply Trade Roundup episode, Annik Sobing welcomes back Bonnie Gutz, an expert in international trade regulation, compliance, and strategic trade leadership. Together, they explore how Europe is reshaping trade policy to balance growth and sustainability — and what that means for trade professionals worldwide. The discussion kicks off with Europe's newly finalized EU–Indonesia trade agreement, which removes tariffs on over 98% of goods. Bonnie breaks down the opportunities and the controversies surrounding this deal, particularly its overlap with the European Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). From palm oil and environmental impact to the politics of delaying green rules, this episode dives deep into Europe's evolving priorities. The conversation then shifts to the emergence of the “Trade Strategist” — a new kind of professional who integrates trade policy, finance, and compliance to help companies plan long-term. Finally, Annik and Bonnie discuss the WTO's recent study on artificial intelligence and its prediction that AI could increase international trade by up to 40% over the next 15 years. What You'll Learn in This Episode Key details of the EU–Indonesia Free Trade Agreement and its 98% tariff reduction. How Europe's environmental commitments — especially the EUDR — are being tested by economic and political realities. Why palm oil sits at the center of the trade-versus-sustainability debate. The emerging role of a Trade Strategist and why every global company may soon need one. How AI and automation could increase global trade efficiency by 30–40%, according to the WTO. Key Takeaways The EU's trade expansion efforts sometimes conflict with its sustainability goals, forcing hard policy choices. The EUDR delay sparked pushback from businesses already prepared for its rollout — showing how compliance expectations are shifting. The concept of a Trade Strategist reflects the growing intersection of compliance, strategy, and executive leadership. Artificial Intelligence is transforming trade operations — from tariff classification to strategic forecasting. Businesses that embrace AI early will likely lead in efficiency, compliance accuracy, and strategic agility.

Ceasefire in GazaPresident Donald Trump announced a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, marking the beginning of a multi-phase peace process. The first phase slated to begin Monday includes the release of 20 hostages, a halt to active fighting, and Israeli withdrawal from parts of Gaza. Hamas is expected to return the remains of deceased hostages as part of the deal.The agreement, brokered with the help of Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey, represents a shift in regional diplomacy. Qatar's role is especially significant, given its previous support for Hamas. Observers suggest that recent Israeli strikes in Doha (looking more and more like an approved strike by Qatar) indicate a broader effort to isolate Hamas.Key details of the peace plan, which aligns with a Trump proposal presented at the UN, include:1. Gaza will be a deradicalized terror-free zone that does not pose a threat to its neighbors.2. Gaza will be redeveloped for the benefit of the people of Gaza, who have suffered more than enough.3. If both sides agree to this proposal, the war will immediately end. Israeli forces will withdraw to the agreed upon line to prepare for a hostage release. During this time, all military operations, including aerial and artillery bombardment, will be suspended, and battle lines will remain frozen until conditions are met for the complete staged withdrawal.4. Within 72 hours of Israel publicly accepting this agreement, all hostages, alive and deceased, will be returned.5. Once all hostages are released, Israel will release 250 life sentence prisoners plus 1,700 Gazans who were detained after 7 October 2023, including all women and children detained in that context. For every Israeli hostage whose remains are released, Israel will release the remains of 15 deceased Gazans.6. Once all hostages are returned, Hamas members who commit to peaceful co-existence and to decommission their weapons will be given amnesty. Members of Hamas who wish to leave Gaza will be provided safe passage to receiving countries.7. Upon acceptance of this agreement, full aid will be immediately sent into the Gaza Strip. At a minimum, aid quantities will be consistent with what was included in the 19 January 2025 agreement regarding humanitarian aid, including rehabilitation of infrastructure (water, electricity, sewage), rehabilitation of hospitals and bakeries, and entry of necessary equipment to remove rubble and open roads.8. Entry of distribution and aid in the Gaza Strip will proceed without interference from the two parties through the United Nations and its agencies, and the Red Crescent, in addition to other international institutions not associated in any manner with either party. Opening the Rafah crossing in both directions will be subject to the same mechanism implemented under 19 January 2025 agreement.9. Gaza will be governed under the temporary transitional governance of a technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee, responsible for delivering the day-to-day running of public services and municipalities for the people in Gaza. This committee will be made up of qualified Palestinians and international experts, with oversight and supervision by a new international transitional body, the “Board of Peace,” which will be headed and chaired by President Donald J. Trump, with other members and heads of state to be announced, including Former Prime Minister Tony Blair. This body will set the framework and handle the funding for the redevelopment of Gaza until such time as the Palestinian Authority has completed its reform programme, as outlined in various proposals, including President Trump's peace plan in 2020 and the Saudi-French proposal, and can securely and effectively take back control of Gaza. This body will call on best international standards to create modern and efficient governance that serves the people of Gaza and is conducive to attracting investment.10. A Trump economic development plan to rebuild and energize Gaza will be created by convening a panel of experts who have helped birth some of the thriving modern miracle cities in the Middle East. Many thoughtful investment proposals and exciting development ideas have been crafted by well-meaning international groups, and will be considered to synthesize the security and governance frameworks to attract and facilitate these investments that will create jobs, opportunity, and hope for future Gaza.11. A special economic zone will be established with preferred tariff and access rates to be negotiated with participating countries.12. No one will be forced to leave Gaza, and those who wish to leave will be free to do so and free to return. We will encourage people to stay and offer them the opportunity to build a better Gaza.13. Hamas and other factions agree to not have any role in the governance of Gaza, directly, indirectly, or in any form. All military, terror, and offensive infrastructure, including tunnels and weapon production facilities, will be destroyed and not rebuilt. There will be a process of demilitarisation of Gaza under the supervision of independent monitors, which will include placing weapons permanently beyond use through an agreed process of decommissioning, and supported by an internationally funded buy back and reintegration programme all verified by the independent monitors. New Gaza will be fully committed to building a prosperous economy and to peaceful coexistence with their neighbours.14. A guarantee will be provided by regional partners to ensure that Hamas, and the factions, comply with their obligations and that New Gaza poses no threat to its neighbors or its people.15. The United States will work with Arab and international partners to develop a temporary International Stabilization Force (ISF) to immediately deploy in Gaza. The ISF will train and provide support to vetted Palestinian police forces in Gaza, and will consult with Jordan and Egypt who have extensive experience in this field. This force will be the long-term internal security solution. The ISF will work with Israel and Egypt to help secure border areas, along with newly trained Palestinian police forces. It is critical to prevent munitions from entering Gaza and to facilitate the rapid and secure flow of goods to rebuild and revitalize Gaza. A deconfliction mechanism will be agreed upon by the parties.16. Israel will not occupy or annex Gaza. As the ISF establishes control and stability, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) will withdraw based on standards, milestones, and timeframes linked to demilitarization that will be agreed upon between the IDF, ISF, the guarantors, and the United States, with the objective of a secure Gaza that no longer poses a threat to Israel, Egypt, or its citizens. Practically, the IDF will progressively hand over the Gaza territory it occupies to the ISF according to an agreement they will make with the transitional authority until they are withdrawn completely from Gaza, save for a security perimeter presence that will remain until Gaza is properly secure from any resurgent terror threat.17. In the event Hamas delays or rejects this proposal, the above, including the scaled-up aid operation, will proceed in the terror-free areas handed over from the IDF to the ISF.18. An interfaith dialogue process will be established based on the values of tolerance and peaceful co-existence to try and change mindsets and narratives of Palestinians and Israelis by emphasizing the benefits that can be derived from peace.19. While Gaza re-development advances and when the PA reform program is faithfully carried out, the conditions may finally be in place for a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood, which we recognize as the aspiration of the Palestinian people.20. The United States will establish a dialogue between Israel and the Palestinians to agree on a political horizon for peaceful and prosperous co-existence.—The long-term viability of the deal remains uncertain, but initial signs suggest a realignment of regional priorities. This deal has Trump's fingerprints all over it. As I am typing this I am speaking with friend of the program Wil Harris who is telling me that the UK press is presenting this as Biden's plan Trump is taking credit for. That's a bit rich, in my opinion. To paraphrase The Social Network:If Biden was the inventor of the Gaza Peace Plan, he would have implemented the Gaza Peace Plan. Katie Porter's Viral Meltdown Raises Political StakesCalifornia gubernatorial candidate Katie Porter is under fire following a viral interview where she appeared combative with a reporter. The incident was compounded by resurfaced footage of Porter harshly reprimanding a staffer during the COVID-19 lockdown.Porter's opponents, including Antonio Villaraigosa and Betty Yee, have seized on the moment to question her temperament and fitness for office. Strategists warn that although her base remains strong, such optics could threaten her standing as the Democratic frontrunner in a crowded 2026 race.Despite the controversy, many believe Porter's progressive bona fides will carry her through. The Democratic primary electorate, historically more tolerant of combative behavior if aligned with ideological purity, may ultimately overlook the episode.James Comey Arraigned in Politically Charged CaseFormer FBI Director James Comey pleaded not guilty this week to charges of lying to Congress and obstruction, charges filed by the Department of Justice under Trump's newly appointed U.S. Attorney, Lindsey Halligan. Comey's legal team is expected to challenge the basis of the prosecution, citing political retaliation.Legal experts widely anticipate the case may be dismissed before trial, but the optics alone are significant. The indictment illustrates the fraught landscape of prosecutorial partisanship in the post-Trump era, where legal actions against political adversaries risk becoming a norm rather than an exception.Chapters and Time Codes* Introduction & Return to Austin — 00:00:41* Gaza Ceasefire Overview — 00:05:10* Trump's Role and Regional Dynamics — 00:08:18* Implications for Hamas and Israel — 00:14:11* Katie Porter Controversy — 00:20:31* Political Impact of Porter's Behavior — 00:24:06* James Comey Indictment — 00:29:11* Wrap-up & Preview of Ken Vogel Interview — 00:32:23 This is a public episode.

Recruiter, podcaster, and process evangelist Darren Saul returns to More Than a Few Words to unpack a painfully relatable story: the one that got away. After weeks of work, multiple interviews, and a seemingly perfect match, Darren's top candidate vanished right after receiving the offer—without so much as a “thanks, but no thanks.” Ouch. But this isn't just a story about recruitment. It's a wake-up call for marketers, sales pros, and anyone who works with humans (aka all of us). Because whether you're filling a role, closing a deal, or pitching a new client, the lessons are the same: assumptions kill deals, and skipping steps in your process will always come back to haunt you. Key Points Even perfect processes can fail if you don't fully qualify the people you're dealing with. Ghosting isn't just rude—it's bad business. Burning bridges happens silently and swiftly. Recruitment and sales are two sides of the same coin: both require curiosity, follow-through, and respect. Process isn't optional. Skipping steps may feel faster, but it will cost you in the long run. Actionable Takeaways Qualify early and thoroughly. Ask the hard questions up front: Are they really ready to make a move? Who else is involved in the decision? Treat recruitment like sales. Whether it's a client, candidate, or customer—if you're not uncovering hidden decision-makers or motivations, you're setting yourself up for a surprise. Build a repeatable process. Ad hoc might get you a few wins, but systems scale success. Stay professional—even when others don't. When someone disappears, take the high road. It pays off in long-term reputation. Track the quiet ones. That candidate who ghosted? He's still in the same job. You dodged a bullet. My guest Darren Saul Darren is a Serial Podcaster, Strategist, Trainer, Coach, Keynote Speaker and Student of Human Attention. He started using the Power of Podcasting to build his photography business and was so amazed with the results he never looked back!
