She begins with a piece of timeless advice from her grandmother that transformed her approach to getting dressed. From there, she walks through six realistic systems she uses daily, including a quick swap for 9 AM meetings to soccer games, why she always keeps sneakers in her car, and a trick to avoid buying unnecessary team merch.

Send us Fan MailM3GAN 2.0 should be an easy win: take a killer doll with attitude, push the horror, sharpen the satire, and give us a few scenes that people quote for years. Instead, we walk straight into a sequel that feels like it's chasing a totally different movie, swapping dread for generic action beats and then forgetting to make those action beats exciting. We're Dan and Tony, and we spend this one doing what the film refuses to do: actually look at what makes M3GAN fun, what makes a sequel work, and why “bigger” so often means “blander.”We break down the plot that sprints from Iran to secret labs to billionaire parties, somehow involving nerve gas, an AI built around a motherboard that's been “cooking” since 1984, and a second robot who's basically “I'm a murder robot” with no flavor. We talk through the missing set pieces, the off-screen fights, the character whiplash, and the way the movie tries to wink at genre tropes without understanding them. And yes, we finally spotlight the single line that made us laugh, plus the running weirdness of Steven Seagal references and the “Jim muscles” joke that almost works.Then we widen the lens to the episode's bigger rabbit holes: what AI regulation could actually mean, why always-listening pocket devices feel dystopian, and which horror subgenre still gets under our skin. We also share what we've been enjoying lately, including a surprisingly tense new Resident Evil from Zach Cregger, plus Dan's descent into a brutal Willy Wonka reality competition show. Stick around to hear our next watch pick: Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City (2021).Subscribe for more movie hate-watching, share the episode with a friend who loves bad sequels, and leave a review with your hottest take: what's the most disappointing genre switch a franchise has pulled?Written lovingly by AIBe our friend!Dan: @shakybaconTony: @tonydczechAnd follow the podcast on IG: @hatewatchingDAT

Daily Boost Podcast Practice Doesn't Make Perfect September 29, 2026 | Episode 5552 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description My band teacher handed me a tenor sax in sixth grade and said, " Go home and practice. Practice makes perfect, right? I believed that for years. Then I noticed something else. Practice doesn't make perfect. Practice makes permanent. Whatever you repeat every day becomes who you are, and that goes for the good stuff and the ugly stuff. Today we look at stinking thinking, bad manners, sloppy relationship habits, and the gym. Then we flip it. Choose what you practice on purpose, and the life you want starts to stick. Start paying attention today. Featured Story My client Dave came to me wanting to start a podcast, and he wanted it to be great. He put in the work on Outside the Walls, too. But if you'd heard those first couple of episodes, you would have laughed. I did. So did Dave. He wasn't lazy. He practiced hard. He didn't know what to practice, and you can't practice perfectly when you've never learned the core basics. So I handed him what I've picked up over 40-plus years behind a microphone. Once he knew where to put his reps, everything shifted. He's still doing that show today, and it's good. Really good. Important Points * Whatever you repeat every day becomes permanent, so choose your daily habits like you're choosing your future self. * Reading and research can't replace experience. Find someone who knows the basics and can show you what to practice. * Rude habits, negative thoughts, and careless relationship moves get stronger with practice, just like the good ones. Memorable Quotes * Practice makes perfect only when you practice perfectly, and you can't do that when you don't know the core basics. * If you practice stinking thinking, it's just a matter of time before you're getting all the bad thoughts you want. * Whatever you're practicing is what you're going to get, because practice doesn't make perfect. It makes permanent. Scott's Three-Step Approach * Look back at today and list the habits you repeat without thinking, from the thoughts you run to the way you act. * Mark which habits you'd be happy to make permanent and which ones are quietly building a life you don't really want. * Swap one bad habit for a good one, learn the basics from someone who knows, and practice it the right way daily. Chapters 0:15 - Race season in Daytona and a question about practice 3:03 - A sixth-grade tenor sax and the practice myth 4:23 - Dave's rough start and what finally made him good 5:28 - Stinking thinking becomes a habit you're great at 5:57 - Bad manners and relationship skills get practiced too 7:41 - My wife's gym habit and what it says about practice 8:17 - Pay attention to what you're practicing today SEO Description Practice doesn't make perfect; it makes permanent.

Show Notes: Run Time: 1:54:48 We recorded this one a bit early (and, spoilers, we also recorded the next episode a bit early!) but don't let that fool you — we definitely know everything going on in this story!

We're about to enter SpooOOOoooOOOoooky month! Be prepared!  

Every decision you make is emotional, including the ones you are sure are logical. Most leaders never notice, react, and spend the following weeks cleaning up the consequences.Business psychologist Dr. Robin Hills, director of Ei4Change and the teacher of more than 500,000 people across 200+ countries, joins host, Ashish Kothari, and explains why AI makes emotional intelligence more valuable rather than less, why it is a power skill and not a soft one, and how the best individual performers end up leading from fear once they are promoted.You'll learn a simpler way to name what you feel, the 10-second move that keeps a difficult conversation from going wrong, and the one question that turned a shouting manager into a leader people came to for help. For managers, executives and anyone who has ever made a "rational" decision they later regretted.What You Will Learn:Every decision is emotional. Check before you act. Ask: pleasant or unpleasant, and is this building the relationship or damaging it?Emotional intelligence is a power skill, not a soft one. Hard conversations still happen. It's not the fact that you do it, it's how you do it.Swap "do it my way" for "how can I help?" Ask what the best way is and what you can unblock. Shouting gets rewarded; asking gets results.Practice the 10-second move. Name the emotion out loud, take a minute, and if it's still hot, decide tomorrow.Give AI the logic. Keep the choices human. Values, relationships, creativity and purpose are the part of your job it can't copy.Episode Chapters:00:00 Emotional intelligence isn't about being “soft”; it's about doing the right thing, in the right way, for the right purpose.01:37 Why emotional intelligence matters even more in an AI-driven world: machines can imitate empathy, but they cannot truly feel or share human experience.08:11 Robin defines emotional intelligence as being smart with your feelings—combining thought and emotion to make better decisions and build authentic relationships.17:29 How emotions quietly shape decision-making, and a simple way to notice whether a situation feels pleasant or unpleasant before reacting.28:03 A more effective leadership approach: empower people, ask how you can help, and remove obstacles rather than directing every move.36:37 A practical response for difficult conversations: name the emotion, take a pause when needed, and create space to choose a better response.Resources:Connect with the GuestLinkedIn: Doctor Robin HillsConnect with the HostLinkedIn: Ashish KothariWebsite: Happiness SquadBook: Hardwired For HappinessYouTube: Happiness Squad ChannelIf this conversation sparked something for you, please subscribe and leave a review, it takes 30 seconds and helps more people discover the show.

How to work with luxury fashion brands. How to get invited to fashion week. Top 1% of fashion creators. Kate Bartlett has built one of the most recognizable careers in fashion content going from an FIT student posting day-in-the-life videos to working with some of the biggest luxury brands in the world. In this episode of Fashion and Founders, Kate breaks down how she turned content creation into a real business, what it actually takes to build relationships with fashion brands, and the behind-the-scenes realities of being a full-time creator. We talk about the TikTok that changed her career, gaining 100,000 followers overnight, getting signed by management, making money as a creator, and why reaching one million followers changed the way luxury brands viewed her. Kate also shares the unspoken rules of working with luxury fashion houses, how creators actually get invited to Fashion Week, and what brands are really looking for beyond follower count. We also get into the business side of influencing brand deal negotiations, exclusivity, whitelisting, production costs, working with photographers and glam teams, and why a 15-second sponsored video can take weeks of work behind the scenes. Plus, Kate talks about going back to school for her MBA at NYU, how she thinks about the future of her career beyond influencing, and her advice for anyone trying to build a career in fashion today. If you want to work in fashion, grow as a creator, work with luxury brands, or understand the business behind the influencer industry, this episode is for you.This episode is brought to you by Swap Commerce.Learn more about Swap and join their private fashion community HERE. Follow Fashion & Founders:Podcast IG: @fashionandfoundersPodcast Substack: Fashion and FoundersPodcast Website: fashionandfounders.comPodcast TikTok: @fashionandfoundersPodcast YouTube: Fashion and FoundersPodcast Links: Shop MyJob Board opportunities in fashion, tech, and more.Follow Kate Bartlett:IG: @katebartlettTikTok: @katebartlettThanks for listening!

Can your partner make a new friend of the opposite sex on a night out or is exchanging numbers already crossing a line? The SLMan Podcast is back with a new format, as the team gets into the conversations, dilemmas and recommendations currently taking over the group chat.First up, they debate why small talk gets such a bad reputation and whether “So, what do you do?” is officially the worst way to start a conversation. Then it's onto relationships, trust and the surprisingly divisive question of whether your partner should be making new friends on a night out.Elsewhere, expect plenty of menswear chat, from building a signature style and ignoring micro-trends to vintage military jackets and the collaborations worth knowing. Plus, the team shares the fragrances they're wearing on rotation before finishing with some unfiltered hot takes on invisible socks, matcha and situationships. Oh, and they settle one important question: how much clothing is actually necessary when answering the door to room service?PANELHarvey James | https://www.instagram.com/harvjam/John Lewis Suit Jacket | https://on.ltk.com/+IIwfu678iLjsVYFl9ufm1g John Lewis Suit Trousers | https://on.ltk.com/+pkfVk73tCrOKX-YKDNyXHQ Frankie Foster | https://www.instagram.com/frankiefoster3/John Lewis Denim Shirt | https://on.ltk.com/+wBScQHyr8GtVaTJ81cD_ow Abercrombie & Fitch 90s Straight Jeans | https://on.ltk.com/+Ixikk02A-_51e52AK3UzQA Lucchese Boots | https://on.ltk.com/+gW0WiF5dZwBcJhz8kBWvpg Adam Burridge | https://www.instagram.com/adamburridge/ Nudie Jeans Uno Tee | https://jeanstore.co.uk/products/nudie-jeans-uno-everyday-tee-black UNIQLO Barrel Trousers | https://on.ltk.com/+vK2N1SyPsHJGdQx5Gneixw Gap x A.P.C.

https://jo.my/qmonasFirst Aid and AED ReadinessPicture this: a pallet slips. A teammate drops to the concrete floor. Blood is pooling, or maybe their chest stops moving entirely. Silence. Panic. Seconds turn into an eternity. In forty years on the floor, I have watched emergencies rip through a shift in an instant. Paper plans cannot save a life when the floor is cold, and someone is fighting for breath.Equipment and training do. Real safety means giving your people the exact tools to stand between a bad day and a funeral. It turns shock into automatic action. You build that readiness long before an alarm ever sounds.Here are a few tips to assist you with first aid and AED readiness:Audit kit dates every month. Ointments dry up into crust. Sterile packaging tears. Adhesive tapes lose their grip. A dried-out bandage is useless during a severe laceration. Swap expired gear immediately.Keep AED pads fresh and ready. Check the battery indicator light every single week. Green means ready. Yellow or flashing red means trouble. Replace expired pads immediately, as dried gel will not deliver a life-saving shock.Eliminate fear with Good Samaritan laws. Many workers freeze because they fear lawsuits. Explain the legal protections clearly. Good Samaritan laws shield your crew when they act in good faith to save a peer.Build overlapping shift coverage. Train multiple responders across every single shift, line, and area. Stagger their vacation days. A certification wall plaque means nothing if your only trained worker is home sick.As always, these are potential tips. Please follow the rules and regulations of your specific facility.Look around your floor today—notice who is working beside you. When an artery opens, or a heart stops, you cannot wait for an outside rescue crew. Emergency medics do their best. But the person standing ten feet away is the real first responder. Ready kits and sharp skills keep families whole. Build that reflex now, because out here, you will never get a second chance to react.Thank you for being part of another episode of Warehouse Safety Tips.

"When a product is produced, you have to think about whether it was made by child labor or was it made by artisans that are being paid a fair wage. That's the first step to thinking about sustainable systems, sustainable product development." —Noelle Bonner Pre-loved luxury isn't a trend anymore — it's a business model, and Noelle Bonner built hers around a pair of six-inch Gucci heels she wore exactly once. This episode was filmed live inside The NOBO, Presidio Heights' award-winning consignment shop, and it traces how a regretted Halloween purchase turned into a swap program that lets clients recover full value on the items they no longer wear. Noelle walks through the mechanics that most resale platforms never explain: why a traditional consignment sale returns roughly 65% of an item's value, and how The NOBO's swap program instead gives sellers 100% in store credit for a flat 6% fee. From there, the conversation moves into what "circularity" actually means in practice — fair labor, real materials, and what happens to a garment after someone's done with it — plus how a resale business authenticates luxury handbags, jewelry, and vintage pieces like a 1991 Chanel suit and rare Hermès and Dior finds. This episode is for anyone who's ever hesitated before consigning a designer piece, wondered whether pre-owned luxury is actually worth it, or wanted a straight answer on how authentication actually works. It's part business breakdown, part sustainability conversation, and part practical guide to getting more out of a closet full of things you no longer wear. Key Takeaways The NOBO's swap program pays sellers full item value in store credit for a 6% fee, compared to keeping roughly 65% through standard consignment. Noelle Bonner's entire swap concept originated from a pair of Gucci heels bought for a single Halloween costume in 2015. Circularity, as defined in the episode, covers three stages: fair-wage production, material quality, and what happens to an item at the end of its life. The NOBO authenticates handbags and jewelry using internal product codes, third-party specialists, and AI-assisted verification tied to serial numbers and materials. Vintage pieces from brands like Chanel and Alaïa often outlast newer releases because of stronger construction and materials used decades ago. Clients most frequently request vintage Dior saddle bags, Hermès Birkins, and seasonal occasion wear like gala and bridal looks. 100% of ticket sales and 10% of items sold during this live event benefited Marin Foster Care. Meet Noelle:  Noelle Bonner is the founder of The NOBO, a pre-loved luxury fashion company offering a curated circular shopping experience. After launching online in 2022, she opened The NOBO's first physical store in Presidio Heights in March of this year, where the brand was recognized as "Best Fashion, Second Life" in the Best of the Bay Awards.  Drawing on her own experience with single-use luxury purchases, Noelle developed The NOBO's innovative Swap program, enabling clients to retain full resale value as NOBO Cash for a modest fee, alongside competitive consignment and traditional resale options.  Committed to sustainability and quality, she champions choosing pre-owned first, emphasizes ethical production and durable materials, and leads rigorous authentication through internal standards, expert partners, and AI-supported verification. Noelle curates inventory to meet seasonal demand—particularly occasion wear—and ongoing requests for coveted pieces, fostering a community-centered, high-trust marketplace for enduring luxury.

September Reset Guide. Fall Reset. How to become a founder. Why Aureum stopped selling jewelry. Cass Dimicco joins Victoria Smith, host Fashion and Founders to break down how she went from fashion buyer to creator to founder of Aureum. Cass gives listeners a “founder playbook,” even if you're not about to start a company this is a great September reset guide. We go into changing your habits, building confidence, and betting on yourself. Her company recently went through a big pivot too. Cass shares why the brand ultimately stopped selling the jewelry it became known for. We talk about knowing when to pivot, finding and building relationships with manufacturers, pricing luxury products, why your brand doesn't need to be for everyone, and how Aureum is intentionally separating itself from the traditional “influencer brand” model. Cass also shares how she thinks about creator gifting, what actually gets her attention when hiring, why women should have more audacity when charging for their work, and how she turned her relationship with ShopMy into an opportunity to become an investor. If you're building a fashion brand, growing as a creator, or figuring out when it's time to bet on yourself, this episode is full of tangible advice you can actually use.This episode is brought to you by Swap Commerce.Learn more about Swap and join their private fashion community ⁠⁠HERE.⁠⁠Follow Fashion & Founders:Podcast IG: @fashionandfoundersPodcast Substack: Fashion and FoundersPodcast Website: fashionandfounders.comPodcast TikTok: @fashionandfoundersPodcast YouTube: Fashion and FoundersPodcast Links: Shop MyJob Board opportunities in fashion, tech, and more.Follow Cass Dimicco:IG: @cassdimiccoSubstack HEREFollow Aureum:IG: @aureum.collectiveShop HEREThanks for listening! 

The map says oasis; the aisles say Doritos. This Skeptical Sunday, Jessica Wynn explains why grocery stores failed to fix how low-income neighborhoods eat.Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we're joined by writer and researcher Jessica Wynn!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1385On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:A 'food desert' is the USDA's label for a low-income neighborhood where hundreds of people live over a mile from a large grocery store — too far, the theory goes, so they eat worse. Build a store and diets improve. Yet billions of dollars later, most residents were already driving past one to shop elsewhere.Distance was never the driver — equalizing access and prices closes just nine to ten percent of the diet gap. The rest is preference, and preference isn't fixed taste; it's learned from culture, marketing, price, and stress. West Harlem got a great supermarket 15 years ago, yet obesity stayed high.The same government building stores to fix diets spends roughly $9 billion a year subsidizing crops like corn and soy — the raw material for syrup, seed oils, and cheap meat. Fresh produce gets under ten percent. No wonder a pint of blueberries costs more than a family-size bag of Blue Takis.The sharper problem isn't the desert but the swamp — neighborhoods saturated with fast food, dollar stores, and junk promotions. Counties with the worst swamp scores saw 77% higher obesity-related cancer deaths. A store can even be a mirage: it's there, but the shelves are mostly Doritos.You can't buy health by proximity, but you can build it through knowledge. Don't abandon the food you love; adjust it. Swap corn oil for olive, tweak a method, make one familiar dish a little healthier. Preference is learned, which means it can be relearned, starting now.Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

Any team can fill a whiteboard with ideas in an hour. What most teams skip is the analytical thinking that tells them if they're solving the right problem. An idea pointed at the wrong problem is wasted no matter how clever the idea is, and you usually don't discover this mistake for years. By the end of this episode, you'll have four steps you can run on a real problem this week, the three thinking traps that can derail you, and a practice drill to sharpen your analytical thinking. To help explain how and the power behind this skill, I will use a real-world example. In the summer of 1854, cholera hit one small corner of London's Soho area, and by the time it burned out, 616 people were dead, most of them within a few streets of each other. The experts had an explanation ready. Cholera came from bad air, a poisonous vapor rising off filth and rot, called miasma, and that was the official position of the men in charge of public health. A doctor named John Snow didn't argue with them. He walked to the General Register Office, asked for the list of the dead, took that list out into the streets, and knocked on doors until he found that nearly all of them had lived a short walk from one water pump on Broad Street. We'll follow what he did as he applied each of the four steps I'm about to share. Let's get into it. What Is Analytical Thinking? Analytical thinking gets confused with critical thinking all the time, and the difference decides which skill you reach for. Critical thinking judges a claim: someone tells you something, and you ask whether it's true, who is saying it, and what they left out. I covered that in the critical thinking episode, and it's worth watching if you haven't already seen it. Analytical thinking starts when there is no claim on the table yet, just a mess. Sales are down twelve percent. Your best people keep leaving. A project that looked healthy in March is three months late in September. Nobody has handed you an argument to evaluate, so there's nothing yet to be critical of. You have to work out what's going on. Snow's story shows the gap. Critical thinking, applied carefully in 1854, points you straight at the Board of Health, because they were the credible source making a claim, and the credible source was wrong. In the critical thinking episode, we briefly touched on breaking a problem into pieces. In today's episode, we focus on breaking the problem into pieces and then analyzing each one. Why Analytical Thinking Is Eroding Most people remember Snow for the famous cholera map, the one with little black bars stacked along the streets of Soho, piling up around the pump. That map didn't exist in September 1854. A mapmaker drew it for a book Snow published the following year. The real work involved a list of names and a lot of walking. Today, most of us only ever see the finished map. We rarely do the work that produces it. Think about the last dashboard you looked at. The numbers arrived already cut into pieces, by region, by quarter, by product line, and somebody chose those cuts, months ago, for a question they had then. When the slicing arrives pre-made, you've inherited someone else's answer and never noticed. AI summaries go one step further. You ask what's going on, and you get back a paragraph shaped exactly like a conclusion: confident, organized, finished. It never asks you to decide where to look, and that decision is the skill. Like any skill, it only improves when you make it yourself. Keep the dashboard. But you need to be able to do the same work yourself, by hand, when the dashboard doesn't answer your question. The Four Steps Snow's work, and the work of anyone good at analytical thinking, has four steps: Break the problem into pieces Find the pattern inside them Test whether your read is right Look out for the thinking traps Step 1: Break the Problem Into Pieces A problem that feels overwhelming is a problem you haven't cut into pieces yet. The skill is deciding how to split it. The steps to break a problem into pieces: Write the problem down as a fact. "Renewals dropped from eighty percent to sixty-eight percent this year." Not "customers hate the new pricing." That one assumes the answer before you've done the work. Split the problem into pieces that add up to the whole. New customers and existing ones. This region and that one. Online and in-store. If the pieces overlap or leave something out, you'll double-count or miss what matters. Follow the piece that moved, and keep splitting it. If the drop sits almost entirely in one region, split that region again. If it's spread evenly across everything, that's a clue too, and it points you toward something that touches everything. Stop when a piece is small enough to act on or to ask a person about, because past that point more analysis just delays the decision. Get the rows behind the chart. Snow didn't work from a death rate for the district. He worked from eighty-nine names and eighty-nine addresses, and the addresses were where the answer was. How Snow split the problem made all the difference. Everyone else was sorting the neighborhood by what it smelled like. Snow sorted it by where people got their water. Done honestly, this is twenty minutes and one sheet of paper. At the end, you want a short list of pieces that add up, with the one that moved circled. Step 2: Find the Pattern Step 1 tells you where the damage sits. This step is about what those pieces have in common and finding the exceptions. Snow focused on the exceptions, starting with the ones that seemed to contradict him. There were only ten deaths in houses that sat closer to a different pump, so he visited those families. Five of them told him they always sent for water from Broad Street because they liked the taste better, and three more of the dead were children who went to school near the pump. Then he looked at the places that should have been hit and weren't. A workhouse on Poland Street, nearly surrounded by houses where people had died, held more than five hundred people and lost five, but it had its own well. A brewery sat on Broad Street itself, seventy men working a few doors from the pump, and none of them died. The owner told Snow his men got a daily allowance of beer and never drank the water. The cluster told Snow where to look, and the exceptions are what convinced him he was right. The steps to find the pattern: Hunt the exceptions in both directions. Who has the problem and shouldn't? Who should have it and doesn't? One exception, like the brewery, will usually teach you more than ten more examples that fit. Ask what the cluster and the exceptions share that nothing else does. This is the moment the analysis reveals something, so slow down here. Write out what's true of the cases that have the problem: where they are, who touched them, what they use, when it started. Then cross off anything that's also true of the cases that don't have it. Snow could cross off the street, the smell, the crowding, and the poverty, because the workhouse and the brewery sat in all of it and stayed healthy. What survived was the water, and whatever survives your crossing-off is the candidate. Keep asking why until you reach something you can change. Taiichi Ohno, the engineer behind the Toyota Production System, taught this with a machine that stopped. The fuse had blown, but it blew because a worn shaft had starved the bearing of oil, and the shaft wore out because nobody had fitted a strainer to keep scrap from getting into the machine and damaging the shaft. Stop at the first answer, and you replace the fuse, and the machine stops again next month. Two questions do most of the work in this step: What changed right before the numbers did? Who is closest to the problem and hasn't been asked? Snow's best evidence came from a brewery owner and a few families, and nobody had thought to ask any of them. What you want at the end of this step is one sentence naming the likely cause, written so that somebody could go and prove it wrong. "People who drank from the Broad Street pump got cholera" can be checked. "Something in the environment is making people sick" can't be checked, which is part of why the miasma theory lasted so long. Step 3: Test Your Explanation A pattern is your best read, but it's still a bet. Testing is how you find out whether the bet is any good before you spend money, or reputation, or lives on it. Snow's strongest evidence wasn't in Soho at all. A widow out in Hampstead, miles away, died of cholera on September 2nd. There was no cholera in Hampstead, and she hadn't been near Broad Street in months. But she'd lived there once, and she liked that pump's water so much she had a bottle of it brought out to her by cart. Her niece visited, drank the same water, went home to Islington, and died the next day. There was no cholera in Islington either. That's powerful evidence: a case far from the outbreak that only the pump could explain. On the evening of September 7th, Snow took his case to the parish authorities, and the next day the handle came off the pump. Here's the part people usually leave out. Snow wrote afterward that the deaths had already started to fall before the handle came off, so he couldn't claim the pump was still the source, and he refused to take credit the evidence didn't support. A local clergyman, Henry Whitehead, closed the case. Whitehead set out to prove Snow wrong, went house to house on his own, and ended up tracing the first case: a five-month-old baby at 40 Broad Street, whose mother had rinsed the soiled cloths into a cesspool a few feet from the well. Steps to test your explanation: Write down what else has to be true if you're right, then go looking for the case that would embarrass you. If the pump is the cause, people who drank from it far from Soho should get sick, and people living beside it who drank elsewhere should stay healthy. The widow in Hampstead was exactly that case. Define the criteria that would prove you wrong before you go looking. Why? Because if you decide afterward, you'll find a way to rationalize what you already believed. Hand your work to someone who wants you to be wrong. Whitehead set out to disprove Snow and ended up strengthening his case. Run the cheapest test you can. Pulling a pump handle costs nothing and can be undone tomorrow. Most business problems have a small, cheap test: a price change in one region, one week with a different process, one customer call. By the end of this step, you want a test you can run in a week and a result that would make you drop the idea. Step 4: Avoid the Analytical Traps Three failures show up again and again, and all three look like good analysis from the outside. The steps to stay out of the traps: Set the decision date before you start. The first trap is paralysis. You keep splitting and keep asking for more data, because deciding feels riskier than analyzing. Snow didn't wait for proof. He had a strong case and a cheap, reversible action, so he acted. Match the proof you need to the cost of being wrong: pulling a pump handle needs a strong case, and a decision you can't walk back needs a much stronger one. Round the number back to what you actually know. The second trap is false precision. A forecast of 23.4 percent growth sounds more rigorous than "somewhere between fifteen and thirty." If the inputs were guesses, the precision is invented, and everyone who sees it trusts the number more than they should. Carry the uncertainty through to the answer. Go find the numbers that disagree with you. The third trap is confirmation bias dressed up as data, and it's the most dangerous because it looks like evidence. You already believe the answer, so you find the slice of the numbers that agrees. The miasma camp had real observations on its side. Cholera did hit the poorest, most crowded, worst-smelling streets hardest. That was true, and it pointed at the wrong thing. I did a full episode on confirmation bias, and the short version is this: when the evidence against you is hard to find, that's when you need to look hardest. Three things to have in hand before you act: The date you'll decide An honest range instead of a false decimal The strongest evidence you could find against your own answer Practice Exercise: The Root-Cause Drill In the critical thinking episode, the exercise was a debate. This one is a drill, and you'll need a partner, because you'll see the structure of someone else's problem more clearly than your own. Each of you brings one real problem with a number attached. Something current, where you don't know the answer. For example: turnover on your team, or a metric that went the wrong way. Swap problems and break each one into pieces on a single sheet of paper, with the pieces adding back up to the whole. Give it fifteen minutes. Circle where the problem concentrates, then find one exception. If you can't find one, you haven't split finely enough. Ask why until you hit something changeable. Write the pattern as one sentence that could turn out to be wrong. Hand it back. The owner designs one test they can run within a week that could prove the pattern false. Meet again after the test. Compare what you expected with what happened. The gap between the two is where you learn the most. The first time, it'll feel slow. By the third, you'll catch yourself taking problems apart in meetings before anyone has finished describing them. The Rewards After the outbreak passed, the authorities put the handle back on the Broad Street pump, and the official inquiry blamed the epidemic on bad air. Snow's analysis was right; it was on paper, and the people in charge rejected it anyway. It took years for everyone else to catch up with what he had worked out from a list of names and a few weeks of knocking on doors. This is the reality of what analytical thinking will and won't do for you. It won't make people believe you, and on its own it won't win the room. What it does is get you to the right answer while everyone else is still debating which expert to believe, and give you the evidence to back it up. It gives you the early insight that others are missing. The next time a number goes the wrong way, don't start by guessing at the cause. Get the details, break the problem into pieces, and work from there.

A few years ago I accidentally hit a guy on the golf course. I'm not proud of it — although it did bank in almost perfectly off his calf on its way toward the hole. But the swing that caused it taught me something I haven't stopped thinking about: my brother told me to quit trying to kill the ball and just make good contact. Looking at podcasting, it turns into the best explanation I've found for why so many podcasts stop growing.If you've ever chased a bigger download number, wondered why nobody signs up for the thing you're selling despite having a decent audience, or just felt like you're doing everything and getting nowhere, keep listening — because the fix isn't a bigger swing.It's Not About a Big Audience. It's About the Right One.I talk to podcasters constantly who are chasing the same fantasy: flip a switch, get 10,000 downloads overnight. I get it — I've wanted that too. But it doesn't exist unless you've got a massive budget, and even then it doesn't always work.Quick, honest question: who won American Idol season six? They had a million people watching. Doesn't mean you remember them, and it doesn't mean they connected.Here's the math that changed how I think about this: if you ran your show as a $30-a-month membership, you'd only need one person willing to pay to break even (assuming you're spending $30/month). But not just any listener does that — it has to be someone connected to you. So the real target was never more downloads. It's finding roughly 500 right-fit people who trust you. Downloads don't join a membership.Connected people do.What a Musician Taught Me About ConnectionI study podcasters, but I also study musicians, authors, and YouTubers, because we're all in the same business — entertaining people with our art. One of my favorite channels right now is Mary Spender's. She's a musician, not a podcaster, but what she said recently hit me right in the chest:"We've spent years treating streaming numbers as though they measure fandom, but perhaps they often measure familiarity instead. Millions of streams doesn't necessarily become hundreds of people willing to leave the house on a Wednesday evening. Maybe we've become incredibly good at measuring attention, but forgotten how to measure connection."Swap "streams" for "downloads" and "tickets" for "memberships," and she's describing exactly what's happening in podcasting. Mary lost £12,000 on her last tour. Instead of giving up, she changed her approach: "Not to chase the biggest room, to chase the right room. Not to impress the most people, to matter to the people who choose to be there." Knowledge is knowing that. Wisdom is acting on it — and she is, booking her own shows again, more intentionally this time (And enjoying it more).How to Actually Get in Front of the Right PeopleWe've been brainstorming growth ideas in the School of Podcasting community, and the point was never to do all of them — it's to pick one, test it, and measure it. A few examples:Guesting on other podcasts that share your audience — less friction, since that audience already knows how to listen to a podcast.Podcast swaps, shout-outs, or a 30-second promo trade.Speaking engagements or workshops.Writing for a publication your audience already reads.Your own blog and SEO — no, it's not dead.Partnerships that go beyond sponsorship, where you actually help each other promote.Word of mouth — which drives roughly 70% of podcast growth, and yet almost nobody deliberately asks for it. Ask your audience, specifically and simply, to share the show with one friend.Local, unglamorous options: I used to slip a business card into a book on the page matching my age, in a genre my audience would read. Free. Slow. It worked, a little at a time.None of these flip a switch. They're singles, not grand slams. You build an audience one person at a time.Would you spend 5 minutes to get 36 people to your site each week?How I Found Out What's Actually Working: Click TrackersHere's the part that surprised me. I started putting a click tracker (I use Switchy) on every link I post — social, LinkedIn, wherever. Takes about 41 seconds per link. What I found: my email list outperformed every social platform by double digits, while everything else stayed in single digits. One email drove 36 clicks in a week — times four weeks, that's potentially 144 people who might actually listen, follow, or tell a friend. And it cost me less than five minutes.Would you spend 5 minutes a week to get 36 people to your site each week? Again, this is not the 10,000 switch. It's one strategy, and leaves you lots of time to try others.The click isn't the whole story, though — a click is still just attention, the same thing Mary warned about. What matters is what happens after it: did that traffic turn into an email subscriber, a membership signup, a real connection?Track that, and you'll quickly find out which platforms are worth your time and which ones you can quietly stop feeding. (If you want a free option instead of a paid one, Short.io does the same basic job.) So the "extra" time you spent using click trackers, you get back by identifying strategies that don't work for you.Two People Who Grew by Showing Up Consistently, Not LoudlyIn the early days of podcasting, Steve Stewart (Podcast Editors Academy) built recognition for years by simply leaving comments on other people's shows — for free. Eventually every show about podcasting seemed to mention him. Neil Veglio did something similar on Pod News Weekly Review, showing up consistently with sharp, specific insight until listeners started recognizing his name. Neither of them flipped a switch. They just kept showing up in the right rooms. I plan on doing some sort of collab with Neil in the future.Ask Your Audience Who They Actually AreIf you're just starting out and don't have an audience yet, go find where your future audience already hangs out — YouTube comments on a similar channel's most-viewed video, or Amazon reviews for books on your topic (skip the 5-star and 1-star reviews; the 4-star ones that explain what would've made it a 5 are where the real feedback lives).And if you already have an audience: ask them directly what they want, more than once, and explain why it helps them to tell you. Track the link to your survey the same way you track everything else — if 12 people click but only 6 finish it, that's useful data too.The Bottom LineHope is not a strategy. Neither is waiting for the 10,000-download switch — I've been looking for one since 2007, and it doesn't exist. Growth doesn't come from a bigger swing: more effort, more platforms, more reach. It comes from solid contact with the right people, and you won't know what's solid contact until you measure it.If you want help building the kind of connection that actually turns into a membership, that's exactly what I do at School of Podcasting.

Gil Peri is the CEO of Children's Wisconsin, the only children's health system in the state. It is independent, so he reports directly to the board, and he is the third CEO it has had in 45 years. In this episode of DGTL Voices, Gil tells Edward Marx about the CEO swap he runs every month, where he takes over a frontline manager's job for the day and hands her the health system. He explains why he went into pediatrics after what happened to his younger brother in college, what a CEO once told him that he still repeats 25 years later, and why 800 of his 8,000 team members never set foot in a hospital building. Plus: the parameters he put in place after nearly burning out, and what he thinks makes the CEO and CIO relationship work. Connect with Marx Advisory at https://bio.marxadvisory.com/

We got an extra dose of confidence before this great episode! The main topic was the history made at UTMB, with Ben Dhiman arguably running the best ultra race of all time. We also talked about being young and fit forever with Hans Troyer, the women throwing down across the board, and what we think we're seeing with the monstrous performances at all the races.And this episode was full of fun topics! Other topics: low confidence Strava posting, our favorite gel, AI-driven review articles, a study on short-term heat training in cool temps, Brian Reynolds' amazing Leadville triumph, the future of backyard ultras, the incredible Dolly Parton, a follow-up on AI science, cheering for other athletes, heat and female athlete marathon training, taking Nomio at night, and the long-tail of PEDs.Stick around for a beautiful listener corner message. People are people, and that can be so comforting.Also, stick around to guess what segment we had to remove. 10 minutes of the podcast are lost to eternity... probably for the best. We love you all!

Original air date: August 13, 2026 By now you've heard that when Donald Trump left the NATO summit in Turkey last month, he was clandestinely transferred from Air Force One to an alternative plane to avert a credible Iranian threat. It appears many of his cabinet members were left on Air Force One. Now new leaks make the story look darker: It turns out Trump brought several of the aides who are personally closest to him on the safe alternative flight. This, even as he left numerous journalists on the original plane, which effectively turned them into a decoy that might have been targeted. None were informed of the operation.
