Whether you're just starting out or you're a seasoned membership owner, this conversation is packed with actionable advice and thought-provoking strategy for thriving in an ever-changing environment.In this episode:What are the most significant shifts membership business owners need to understand in 2025 compared to previous years?How have automation and AI impacted membership models, and what balance should be struck between leveraging technology and maintaining a human touch?What can membership site owners do to stay relevant and valuable to their members in an increasingly crowded and competitive landscape?How can you future-proof your membership business for the next five to ten years in a world where subscription fatigue and global changes are a reality?Key Quotes & Takeaways:"a lot of people who launched memberships, maybe especially in that go go period from, let's call it, 2019 to 2022, suddenly got a rude awakening and realized, you know, I actually have to engage people once I bring them in. I have to have an offering, that justifies a forever transaction more scientific in the way that I run my business.""This is a time to take a step back, and say, what are we doing right? What are we doing wrong? What would we and this is, I think, the money question. What would we be doing differently if we were starting today?""And they say our existing members love us, but we're having trouble acquiring new members. And that is a signal that your offering is no longer competitive, no longer relevant. That should be a huge wake up call to you.""I think organizations that can continue to focus on aligning the member outcome, desired outcome with the way they package their value are the ones that are gonna do well."Thank You For ListeningWe really appreciate you choosing to listen to us and for supporting the podcast.

In this special edition episode, Michael LeBlanc and Steve Dennis address the unprecedented challenges facing retailers with Steve's "10 Tantalizing Tips for Tumultuous Times." Steve rates current market turbulence at a 9 out of 10, comparing it to COVID-era disruption but noting the added complexity of legal uncertainties around tariff policies.The news segment covers significant retail developments, starting with ongoing tariff turmoil. A U.S. court ruled Trump's tariff policies illegal, creating additional uncertainty for retailers already struggling with implementation. Steve explains how this legal challenge, combined with the administration's failure to secure the promised "90 deals in 90 days," has intensified market turbulence.Earnings season revealed stark contrasts in retail performance. While Abercrombie & Fitch, Costco, and Dick's Sporting Goods posted strong results, Target's struggles were particularly alarming—down nearly 4% compared to Walmart's 4-5% growth, highlighting a major and continuing performance gap between direct competitors. Department stores including Macy's, Dillards, and Kohl's continued their downward trajectory, with most posting negative comps. The episode also covers Hudson's Bay Company's final closure in Canada, with Canadian Tire acquiring the historic brand's IP for $30 million.The second segment focuses on ten essential tactics for survival and growth. The first foundational tips emphasize radical commitment to reality and transparency, urging retailers to honestly assess their situation and act accordingly. Steve advocates for embracing uncertainty and building agility into operations, followed by maintaining innovation through continuous testing despite budget pressures.Customer-focused strategies include choosing your passionate core of fans (inspired by Seth Godin's work), being human-centered while digitally enabled, and prioritizing storytelling over purely functional benefits. Steve emphasizes that people buy a brand's story before they buy the product.Strategic excellence tips include "editing to amplify"—narrowing customer and offering focus to boost signal amid market noise—and conducting comprehensive friction audits of the customer journey. The hosts stress distinguishing between table stakes (necessary but non-differentiating capabilities) and true differentiators that create competitive advantage.The final tip, "cash is king," proves particularly relevant given tariff impacts on cash flow. Throughout the discussion, the hosts acknowledge that guidance must be tailored to individual circumstances—strategies for Walmart differ significantly from those needed by smaller specialty retailers. The episode serves as both a reality check and practical roadmap for retailers navigating what Steve describes as an era of unprecedented uncertainty, volatility, and competitive pressure where strong players are aggressively pursuing market share opportunities.

Former assistant “Mia” testifies Sean “Diddy” Combs physically and sexually assaulted her and violently attacked Cassie Ventura. She describes Combs slamming Cassie's head into a bed, triggering a cover-up and calls to a plastic surgeon. ⸻ What's up, STS Nation! Welcome to Surviving the Survivor, the podcast that brings you the very Best Guests in all of True Crime… Day 12 of the Sean “Diddy” Combs federal sex-trafficking and racketeering trial featured some of the most emotional and disturbing testimony to date. Former assistant “Mia,” testifying under a pseudonym, told jurors that Diddy physically and sexually assaulted her—and that she feared for her life while witnessing brutal attacks on Cassie Ventura. Among the most chilling claims: Combs allegedly slammed Cassie's head into a bed frame, leaving her “gushing blood,” then ordered Mia to call a plastic surgeon and lie about the injury. Mia described Combs' eyes turning “black,” saying it was the first time she realized how much danger they were in. Mia also described years of coercive control, 24/7 work conditions without sleep, and a workplace ruled by Combs' unpredictable moods and violent outbursts.⸻ #Support the show:All Things STS: Https://linktr.ee/stspodcastGet Joel's Book: Https://amzn.to/48GwbLxSTS Merch: Https://www.bonfire.com/store/sts-store/Support the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SurvivingTheSurvivorCatch us live on YouTube: Surviving The Survivor: #BestGuests in True Crime - YouTubeVenmo Donations: @STSPodcast⸻ #DiddyTrial #CassieVentura #MiaTestimony #SeanCombs #SexTraffickingTrial #TrueCrime #BestGuests #SurvivingTheSurvivor #CriminalTrial #JusticeForCassie #CelebrityTrial #CoerciveControl #Racketeering #AbuseOfPower #HipHopNews

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to introduce you all to: MK ULTRA, satanic ritual abuse, and organized abuse survivor, overcomer and thriver, loving mother, Physician, published writer and author, content creator and podcaster, Physician and Radiologist turned activist, Founder of the Angel Coalition and Co-Founder of Women and Children First and the Babushka Brigade, Star Fort enthusiast, loving mother, award winner of the University of Washington School of Medicine's prestigious Humanitarian Award, and absolute inspiration: Dr. Juliette EngelBorn in into a family entangled with OSS/CIA/NSA operatives, Juliette's childhood was stolen by the CIA's sinister MK ULTRA program. At the tender age of six, she was sold by her father into a world of mind control, sexual abuse, and satanic ritual abuse she would later come to know as “Sex Magick.” Subjected to relentless physical and psychological torture, her early years were a crucible of pain, designed to fracture her mind and mold her into a tool for the agency's dark agenda.At seventeen, Juliette's courage and instinct for survival propelled her to escape, barefoot and with nothing but her will to live. With no memory of her harrowing childhood due to trauma-forced amnesia, she forged a new life, driven by an inner strength she scarcely understood. She put herself through college and medical school, becoming a respected physician and radiologist. In Seattle, she built a successful practice, her professionalism and compassion earning her acclaim. But beneath this veneer of achievement, her past lay dormant, waiting to resurface.In 1992, Juliette's life took a pivotal turn when she sold her practice to establish the MiraMed Institute in Moscow, a nonprofit dedicated to improving obstetric care and advancing human rights for women and children in post-Soviet Russia. It was here, amidst her mission to enhance medical care for orphanage children, that she stumbled upon a chilling truth: state institutions were linked to an international network trafficking young Russian girls into prostitution. This discovery shattered her amnesia, triggering fragmented memories of her own abuse and awakening her to the global scourge of human trafficking - a modern slave trade she could not ignore. What followed was the beginning of her fearless activism. The resurfacing of her childhood memories was agonizing, yet, Juliette transformed this pain into purpose. Her memoir, ‘Sparky: Surviving Sex Magick', and its sequel, ‘Angels Over Moscow', chronicle her survival and her fight against trafficking, earning her recognition as a bestselling author. Her third book, ‘Moscow Traffic', further amplifies her voice as a whistleblower and advocate. RECOMMENDED READING - MK ULTRA DOCS: https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/briefing-book/dnsa-intelligence/2024-12-23/cia-behavior-control-experiments-focus-new-scholarlyCONNECT WITH JULIETTE: Website: https://julietteengel.com/CONNECT WITH THE IMAGINATION:EMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comMy Substack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimaginationAll links: https://direct.me/theimaginationpodcastRIFE TECHNOLOGIES: https://realrifetechnology.com/Support the show

Jeremy Bradley thought it would be another silly phone call when reaching out to our company's executive producer, Bonnie Winters. Instead, the first minute of the chat with her husband changed everything. JB learned that his 20-year writing and producing partner had "a small stroke" at the start of the team's spring holiday. He recounts hearing the details and how he expected the worst after getting the news. But, in true JB style, he called Bonnie a few days later to put her on the radio to share her story! We've got it in podcast form for you this week.

"‘Don't send me home—I'm in pain.' That's what I told the ER doctor. If she hadn't listened, I probably wouldn't be here today." Lisa Whitmore Davis sits down in the Detroit is Different studio on Mother's Day and unpacks a journey that touches the soul and strikes a chord in every Detroit family. From her upbringing in Benton Harbor—"We were the only Whitmores in the phone book"—to leading cultural change in organizations like AARP, Lisa's story is rich with service, legacy, and resilience. In this powerful interview, Lisa speaks candidly about her battle with breast cancer, the power of Black women's voices in healthcare—"I had to fight to be believed"—and the documentary project birthed from her pain. Along the way, she shares why she chose Detroit over Birmingham, how her daughter's school sat next to the Charles H. Wright Museum, and the spirit of service instilled by her missionary father and nursing mother. This episode dives deep into culture, caregiving, spirituality, community, and the healing power of storytelling. “Culture is identity,” Lisa says. And her identity is deeply Detroit.

Capricorn Clark testified Sean “Diddy” Combs kidnapped her at gunpoint to confront rapper Kid Cudi. She also detailed Cassie Ventura's brutal beating and escalating threats from the rap mogul. #STSNation, Welcome to Surviving the Survivor, the podcast that brings you the very #BestGuests in all of #TrueCrime. Day 10 of the Sean “Diddy” Combs federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial brought some of the most damning testimony to date. Former assistant Capricorn Clark took the stand and stunned jurors, claiming that in 2011, Combs showed up at her home with a gun, kidnapped her, and forced her into an Escalade to help him confront — and possibly kill — rapper Kid Cudi. Once at Cudi's Hollywood Hills home, Combs broke in, and the chaos spiraled into a brutal assault on Cassie Ventura later that night. Clark also detailed years of workplace abuse, threats of violence, forced lie detector tests, and a disturbing pattern of coercive control by Combs that aligns with prior testimony from Cassie and other witnesses. She described being blacklisted from the industry after her firing, pleading with Combs for forgiveness, and being lured back in years later — all while the shadow of fear never lifted. Tonight we break it all down with three powerhouse legal minds: ⸻ #BestGuests: • Tim Jansen – Criminal Defense Attorney & Former Federal Prosecutor • Dave Aronberg – Former Florida State Attorney, now Criminal Defense Attorney • Vinoo Varghese – Harvard Law Visiting Professor, White-Collar Criminal Defense Attorney & Former Prosecutor⸻ #Support the show:All Things STS: Https://linktr.ee/stspodcastGet Joel's Book: Https://amzn.to/48GwbLxSTS Merch: Https://www.bonfire.com/store/sts-store/Support the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SurvivingTheSurvivorCatch us live on YouTube: Surviving The Survivor: #BestGuests in True Crime - YouTubeVenmo Donations: @STSPodcast#DiddyTrial #SeanCombs #CassieVentura #KidCudi#Racketeering #SexTrafficking #CriminalEnterprise#TrueCrime #TrueCrimeCommunity #SurvivingTheSurvivor #CourtroomDrama #CelebrityCrime #JusticeMatters #BestGuests

This week on The Tone Mob, Blake hangs with bassist Zephyr Avalon—a man whose musical journey started with jazz camp and ended up on stadium stages... with a few detours through punk bands, upright bass trauma, and a destroyed childhood guitar along the way. They cover Zephyr's early years surrounded by classical music, gigging through college, touring with Haley Reinhart, and stumbling into the rocket ship that is Zach Bryan's rise. There's gear talk (OC-2 forever), rig rundowns, custom basses, and why upright bass and stage monitors are natural enemies. Also: pizza philosophies, Instagram hustle, and why the music industry is a lot like bad sushi—if you're drowning it in sauce, something's probably wrong.

What happens when your entire life crumbles in a matter of months? When the people you trust betray you, your health gives way, and you're left staring into a future you never expected? For Dr. Lisa Nezneski, that wasn't a hypothetical—it was her reality. In this powerful episode of Warriors Unmasked, Chuck Thuss sits down with Dr. Lisa—pharmacist, poet, mindfulness teacher, and shamanic healer—to explore her extraordinary journey from heartbreak and upheaval to deep healing and transformation. Lisa opens up about the moment she learned her wages were being garnished, how that shock pulled the veil off years of hidden dysfunction, and how she picked up the pieces of her life with unwavering spiritual discipline, emotional honesty, and daily mindfulness practices. You'll hear how she went from living on 10 wild acres in a sulfur-scented North Carolina forest (yes, with bears and snakes!) to finding emotional refuge in beach sunrises, spiritual teachers, and eventually, love. Dr. Lisa also offers grounded wisdom on how meditation, journaling, and letting yourself feel grief—even in the most inconvenient places—can offer a path through the hardest seasons of life. If you've ever felt like life knocked you down too many times… this episode is your reminder that healing is possible, the journey is worth it, and you are never alone.

This episode features an interview with Bruce Cleveland, author of the best-seller “Traversing the Traction Gap" and CEO of Traction Gap Partners, a Market Engineering advisory firm.In this episode, Bruce outlines why most startups fail and explains market engineering, a term he coined  to represent the ideas around category design. He shares insights into creating a category and what goes into startup success. Key Takeaways:Market engineering involves the ideas around category design or redefinition thought leadership to create a category.There are distinct advantages to being a category leader; the category leader generates about 76% of  all the profits from a category. While there is a first-mover advantage, there are also some associated challenges.Thought leadership is an essential component of creating a category. People want to be around peers they admire, so gathering the right people together leads to an eventual tipping point that makes it easier for a company to sell.Quote:  One of the reasons that you need to actively be involved in the thought leadership part of category creation is people wanna hang out with other people who they think are smart, who have some cool ideas. And that I think happens with companies as well. So eventually some companies kind of climb out of the morass, the cacophony of, fighting the marketing battle and begin to emerge as the thought leaders in those. And then they collectively gather more people and more people. And finally there's a tipping point where that company is perceived as the category leader. And so it becomes really easy for those companies to then sell more.Episode Timestamps: *(02:26) The Trust Tree: Traversing the Traction Gap *(07:31) The importance of category design*(26:05) Thought Leadership in category creation*(35:39) How to evaluate startupsSponsor:Pipeline Visionaries is brought to you by Qualified.com.
