Gail Eisnittz joins Let's Talk Memoir for a conversation about structuring her memoir around her pursuit of answers to a lifelong medical mystery, coming to terms with her own humanness, writing about her career in animal advocacy, exposing the underbelly of the meat industry and effecting change for millions of animals, working on difficult and hard-to-sell material, not sharing a book project with friends and loved ones until it's complete, weathering a difficult submission process, allowing herself to soften emotionally, becoming more in touch with self-compassion, and her new memoir Out of Sightz: An Undercover Investigator's Fight for Animal Rights and Her Own Survival. Also in this episode: -factory farms -writing what feels right -discovering what holds the book together Books mentioned in this episode: The Happiest Man on Earth by Eddie Jaku The Choice by Dr. Eva Edith Eger The Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris Gail A. Eisnitz, winner of the prestigious Albert Schweitzer Medal for outstanding achievement in animal welfare, has been working for decades to document and expose the shocking underbelly of the U.S. meat industry. She is chief investigator for the Humane Farming Association and author of the forthcoming memoir, Out of Sight: An Undercover Investigator's Fight for Animal Rights and Her Own Survival. Eisnitz and her first book, Slaughterhouse: The Shocking Story of Greed, Neglect, and Inhumane Treatment inside the U.S. Meat Industry, were the driving force behind a front-page exposé in the Washington Post that resulted in an annual multimillion dollar Congressional appropriation for enforcement of the Humane Slaughter Act – the first funding ever allocated for a law that had been on the books for more than forty years. Eisnitz's work has resulted in exposés by ABC's Good Morning America, PrimeTime Live, and Dateline NBC, has been featured in such newspapers as the New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Miami Herald, Detroit Free Press, Texas Monthly, Denver Business Journal, Los Angeles Times, and U.S. News & World Report, and her interviews have been heard on more than 1,000 radio stations. In her new memoir, Eisnitz takes readers on a journey of self-discovery as she fights to document and expose scandalous animal abuse, all in the face of a rare visual processing disorder that she has grappled with since childhood. The disease, which was only identified in the scientific literature a mere ten years ago – was diagnosed after she began writing her memoir – and is revealed at the book's climax.

Episode Overview In this episode of the John Kitchens Coach Podcast, John Kitchens sits down with Matt Durbin for a no-fluff deep dive into the real conversations buyers, sellers, and agents need to be having in today's shifting real estate market. From buyers who think they “know more than their agent” to sellers holding onto unrealistic pricing expectations, John and Matt unpack how to position yourself as the trusted advisor who brings clarity, strategy, and results. This is a practical masterclass on buyer consultations, seller pricing strategies, and how agents can lead with professionalism instead of pressure—especially when the market gets tough. Key Topics Covered Buyers in Today's Market Why buyers think they're doing the agent's job (and how to reframe it) Structuring buyer consultations that build trust and prevent cancellations Using creative financing, seller assist, and negotiation strategies to win deals Why lifestyle, timeline, and resale potential matter more than just list price Pricing & Positioning with Sellers Why list price is just a strategy, not a number Setting expectations early to avoid painful price-reduction battles later The role of condition, competition, and motivation in every pricing conversation How to prevent seller frustration by aligning strategy upfront Leading Agents Through Market Shifts The agent's #1 mistake: avoiding hard conversations How to train agents to communicate value and price realistically Why motivated clients are the only clients worth taking right now Communication frameworks that protect relationships and prevent fallout Resources & Mentions John Kitchens Executive Coaching – Custom strategy, accountability, and proven systems Honey Badger Nation – Community and training resources CHSA / CHBA Framework – Creating clarity and articulating agent value Final Takeaway Agents who survive and thrive in this market aren't just order-takers—they're advisors. That means asking the tough questions, setting expectations early, and telling clients what they need to hear, not just what they want to hear. If you want to build trust, avoid fallout, and consistently close deals, it's time to step into the CEO role of your business and lead your clients through the storm. “Skipping steps only presents the illusion of speed.” – John Kitchens Connect with Us: Instagram: @johnkitchenscoach LinkedIn: @johnkitchenscoach Facebook: @johnkitchenscoach If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to subscribe and leave a review.

What's the secret behind B2B SaaS sales growth and how can outbound strategies be used to scale revenue efficiently? When it comes to growing a B2B SaaS company, not all sales leads are created equal. Inbound leads, those who find you through marketing efforts or referrals, already have some level of trust. They've seen your website, maybe read a blog post or two, and are at least familiar with your brand. Outbound leads, on the other hand, have no idea who you are. You're reaching out to them cold, and they're likely skeptical from the start. That's why trust becomes your most important asset in outbound sales. In this episode of the Grow Your B2B SaaS Podcast, brought to you by SaaStock, Joey Gilkey, CEO of Titan X, explains that outbound sales require a different mindset. You're not just selling a product; you're building a relationship from zero. In outbound, your first impression matters more than ever. That process starts with establishing credibility right away. Without trust, even the best SaaS product won't make it through the noise.As a valued listener of the Grow Your B2B SaaS podcast, we've got something special for you!
