The murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three young children, has spawned a courtroom subplot with real legal stakes: prosecutor Shanan Buckingham has spent weeks in Plymouth Superior Court in a rotating collection of hair bows, widely read as a tribute to five-year-old Cora, who loved them. But even a well-meant gesture is a gamble, handing the defense a ready-made argument that the state is leaning on sympathy over substance and potentially seeding an appeal. Over in the business of law, private equity finally got the yes it's been chasing: Wood Smith Henning & Berman, a 500-plus-lawyer insurance-defense shop, reportedly signed a letter of intent to sell a stake to Charlesbank Capital Partners at a roughly $700 million valuation. Structured through a management services organization to sidestep Rule 5.4's ban on non-lawyer ownership, it would be the largest PE investment in an American law firm to date -- a toehold, not yet a takeover. And in the category of career moves we can't recommend, a prominent Pittsburgh attorney landed himself in a fraternity drug scandal. Paul Robinson, a practice-group chair at Meyer, Darragh, Buckler, Bebenek & Eck, was charged with tampering and hindering apprehension for allegedly making evidence disappear from a multistate cocaine ring that prosecutors say his son helped run out of Penn State's Delta Upsilon and Sigma Chi houses -- where, per the AG, packaging kilos doubled as a pledge task.  

Volume-based keyword content is quietly undermining search performance. Lucas Tieleman, CEO and co-founder of Optiversal, has helped major enterprise retailers convert static product catalogs into machine-readable content that performs across both search and AI platforms, building on experience as former Chief Product Officer at Bazaarvoice. The conversation breaks down why "sloptimization"—churning out keyword-driven posts without added value—undermines both rankings and revenue, why answer engine optimization depends on strong underlying SEO fundamentals rather than replacing them, and how transforming product data into structured, machine-readable assets drives visibility across traditional and AI-driven search.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The U.S. Justice Department's internal watchdog is reviewing a practice by federal law enforcement to allow fentanyl to hit the streets to build bigger trafficking cases. AP correspondent Donna Warder reports.

Mike Slater sits down with Pastor Allen Jackson for a deep dive into The Great Deception — the biblical warning that Satan's strategy is to deceive humanity and pull people away from the Word of God. They examine how deception has infected modern politics and the media, why some human behavior is genuinely evil and requires the courage to call it what it is, and how Satan can deceive the Church itself. The conversation is ultimately about recognizing lies, returning to Scripture, and refusing to let deception replace truth.

There's a marketing tool many firm owners skip because they're too busy listing services. Turns out it might be the most persuasive thing you're not doing.

In this episode, we break down why Christian husbands and wives should pursue godly wisdom before worldly wealth. Money can buy a bigger house, better vacations, and more comfort, but it cannot create trust, intimacy, peace, purpose, or a strong biblical marriage.The Bible tells us that wisdom is more valuable than silver and gold. When you learn to seek God first, develop Christlike character, lead with wisdom, communicate effectively, and build your marriage according to biblical principles, you create a kind of wealth money simply cannot buy.If you want a strong Christian marriage, better communication with your spouse, deeper intimacy, biblical leadership, and a marriage centered on Jesus Christ, this episode is for you.Stop believing that more money will fix what only wisdom, character, obedience, and God can transform.A rich life isn't determined by what you HAVE.It's determined by WHO YOU BECOME.Become a High Level Husband who is on Fire, Free, and Followed!!

John Rizvi, the Patent Professor discusses the copyright infringement lawsuit with Beaver Mini-Mart in Beavercreek, Ohio

Marquett breaks down “SIGN Language”—shame, insults, guilt, and the need to be right—and explains how these tactics can appear during arguments, dating, and relationships.From subtle guilt trips and disguised insults to blame-shifting and emotional manipulation, this lecture explores how men can recognize unhealthy communication patterns before they become trapped in a damaging relationship dynamic. Marquett also revisits Kevin Samuels' explanation of the concept and adds his own perspective on accountability, boundaries, leadership, and protecting yourself from manipulation.Can you recognize the signs before the mask slips?⸻

Season 2, Episode 131In this episode, Michael and Zach continue their series on conversational apologetics by exploring Gregory Koukl's Suicide Tactic—a way of recognizing claims that undermine or contradict themselves. Drawing from examples such as “There is no truth,” “You should never judge,” and “You shouldn't force your morality on others,” they explain how some ideas collapse when consistently applied to themselves. The discussion also examines biblical examples of exposing faulty reasoning, including Jesus' response to the Pharisees in Matthew 12. Throughout the episode, Michael and Zach emphasize that this tactic should not be used to embarrass people or score debate points, but to ask gracious questions that help others recognize inconsistencies in their own thinking. The goal is not confrontation for its own sake, but greater clarity, honest reflection, and wiser conversations about truth.Find our videocast here: https://youtu.be/vPFGDvKptP0Merch here: https://take-2-podcast.printify.me/Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):⁠https://uppbeat.io/t/reakt-music/deep-stone⁠License code: 2QZOZ2YHZ5UTE7C8Find more Take 2 Theology content at http://www.take2theology.com

Do you experience or used to experience food-related guilt?If so, this is common and you are not alone.However, sometimes we think we need to guilt our way to success or taking action but this is actually a poor approach for the vast majority of us.We need to start looking at guilt as a human, in ways inevitable but negative outcome - and work on managing it better. Because guilt is not a good tactic…In this episode, I explain the guilt equation in nutrition and why it is not ideal and how to go about managing setbacks and guilt in a more healthy, productive way to pushes you forward rather than pulls you back.DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is for guidance only and is not individualised advice for you!

Season 2, Episode 127In this episode, Michael and Zach continue their series on conversational apologetics by exploring Gregory Koukl's signature "Columbo Tactic"—the art of asking thoughtful questions that invite conversation rather than confrontation. While many Christians assume effective apologetics depends primarily on having the right answers, this discussion argues that wise questions often accomplish far more. Looking to the example of Jesus, who frequently responded to questions with questions of His own, Michael and Zach examine how genuine curiosity can uncover assumptions, clarify definitions, expose faulty reasoning, and create opportunities for meaningful gospel conversations. Along the way, they introduce the first two Columbo questions—"What do you mean by that?" and "How did you come to that conclusion?"—while emphasizing the importance of listening well, slowing conversations down, and responding with humility rather than haste. The episode concludes with practical examples drawn from today's cultural conversations and challenges listeners to become faithful ambassadors of Christ by asking better questions before offering better answers.Find our videocast here: https://youtu.be/iKKZhoqnHUoMerch here: https://take-2-podcast.printify.me/Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):⁠https://uppbeat.io/t/reakt-music/deep-stone⁠License code: 2QZOZ2YHZ5UTE7C8Find more Take 2 Theology content at http://www.take2theology.com

This statistical breakdown will make you think twice about your late-night drives!

Send us Fan MailMost teams push mini plans hard from October through March, then go silent the moment the season starts — right when they're creating new fans at every home game. In Episode 174, Jeremy Neisser makes the case that your warmest mini plan prospect is the fan driving home from tonight's game, not a cold name from last winter. He breaks down the psychology of selling to fans while the experience is still fresh, why teams stop even when they know better, and five tactics you can run this week to turn single-game buyers into repeat fans.KEY TOPICS COVERED• Why the fan who just attended is a qualified buyer — not a cold prospect — and how that erases the hardest part of the sale• The simple math that proves every home game produces a fresh list of mini plan prospects• The real reason fans buy mini plans (hint: it's not the sport) and how to sell to fresh emotion instead of faded memory• The ladder that moves a casual fan to a lifer: single game = acquisition, mini plans = habit formation, season tickets = loyalty• How to build packages from the games left on your schedule instead of waiting for a full season of inventory• Why in-season prospects are already warm — you have their email, phone, and attendance data right now• How selling mini plans in July feeds next year's season ticket pipeline before renewals even start• The organizational trap that quietly kills mini plan sales during the season — and the one-person fix for it• The commission problem that pushes reps toward big groups and away from mini plans• The 24-hour thank-you email that hits fans at their highest-value moment• The "two games in 30 days" CRM trigger that flags your warmest in-season leads• The limited-time ticket-credit offer that lowers the barrier to commit• Using a QR code on the video board to catch fans at peak enthusiasm• The post-game text that turns a first visit into a second oneTIMESTAMPS[00:00] — Jeremy spots the pattern: teams promote fireworks, giveaways, and bobbleheads front and center, but stop selling the one product built to create repeat buyers[00:56] — Why quitting mini plan sales in-season means walking past new fans you're creating at every home game[02:05] — Prospect vs. qualified buyer: the fundamental thing most teams miss about in-season selling[03:11] — The hottest lead in your database is the fan driving home from tonight's game[03:45] — Run the math on one game: 3,500 fans, 700 first-timers, 300 who had a great time — and why they should be on tomorrow's outreach[04:35] — The real reason in-season selling works, and it's not about tickets — it's fresh emotion[05:30] — Selling the day after asks fans to repeat what they felt; selling in October asks them to remember it[06:20] — You're not selling tickets, you're selling habits: how repeat attendance becomes a behavior pattern[07:00] — Mini plans as the bridge: acquisition to habit formation to loyalty, and walking fans up the ladder[07:44] — Five reasons in-season mini plan selling works[08:14] — Reason #1: Every home game is a lead-generation event — treat attendance as a list, not a number[08:43] — Reason #2: The remaining schedule is your inventory — package fireworks, rivalries, and flex nights intentionally[09:12] — Reason #3: Fans understand the value better after attending (the Chick-fil-A analogy)[09:41] — How the post-game follow-up feels like a reminder, not a sales pitch[10:08] — Reason #4: You already have their contact info — email, phone, and which games they attended[10:29] — Reason #5: In-season mini plans build next year's season ticket pipeline right now[10:58] — Why teams stop selling mini plans — and why it's not really their fault[11:25] — How game-day execution mode crowds out sales mode across the whole organization[12:19] — Mini plans disappear because nobody owns them anymore — not because nobody cares[12:46] — The commission problem: why reps chase $2,500 groups over $150 mini plans, and how marketing can help[13:15] — The fix: assign one person to own in-season mini plan selling and automate the outreach[13:45] — Tactic #1: The 24-hour thank-you email with a simple mini plan offer[14:11] — Tactic #2: The "two games in 30 days" trigger — flag repeat attendees as warm leads[15:10] — Why multi-game buyers are the warmest in-season list you can build[15:40] — Tactic #3: The limited-time ticket-credit offer that lowers the barrier to commit[16:10] — Tactic #4: A QR code on the video board to catch fans at peak enthusiasm[16:36] — Tactic #5: The post-game text to recent buyers the morning after[17:05] — This week's challenge: audit your CRM for one-game buyers nobody has personally contacted[18:04] — The main takeaway: acquisition, habit formation, loyalty — and why mini plans are the bridge[18:58] — Final reminder: the best time to sell the next ticket is while the experience is still freshCALL TO ACTIONIf you're building your second-half sales strategy, there's a lot more on this topic — reach out and Jeremy is happy to talk through how it could look as you export lists and work on selling more tickets in the back half of the year.

After more than 15 years of coaching practice owners, I've seen the same misconception over and over… When schedules aren't full, most owners assume they need more leads. They start trying different marketing or chasing more referral sources.  But when we track the entire patient lifecycle, the real issue is often conversions… dare I say, "sales." Calls aren't converting, evaluations aren't creating enough buy-in, or patients are dropping off before completing care. This episode focuses on one of the most important parts of that process: knowing when to move a phone call forward and when to slow down, listen, and build trust. Before you listen, click the link here for this episode's free resource: Cash-Pay Phone Closing Scripts. They'll give you proven language for handling some of the key questions that often determine whether a prospective patient says yes. P.S.

Imagine a fruit tree for a minute–you plant it, and it takes a year or two before it becomes mature enough to bear edible fruit. But once it does, guess what–it will continue to feed you and your family FOREVER. That's kind of what Rich is going to talk about today on the podcast… a marketing tactic that you plant now, give it a minute to mature, then it keeps on delivering leads and sales to you and your company FOREVER.

In this episode, I share a strange little tactic for your next membership promo - one that goes against pretty much everything you've been told about sales offers.Instead of giving people the lowest possible barrier to entry with a free trial or a discounted first month, I make the case for going in the complete opposite direction: incentivising new members to commit to a longer initial period of 90 days.I explain why this counterintuitive approach attracts better-fit members, protects you against the riskiest retention window, and makes it far easier to frame your offer around a real outcome people can actually picture.If your usual trials, discounts and bonuses have stopped hitting the mark, this episode is for you.In this episode:Why does asking new members for a longer initial commitment so often outperform free trials and discounted first months?What makes the 90-day window the "Goldilocks zone" - long enough to demand real commitment, short enough that people believe they can achieve something?How does locking members in past the risky first 30 days improve both your retention and the quality of the people you attract?How can you build an onboarding and engagement plan around a single 90-day outcome so the offer genuinely delivers?How could you turn this into a series of 90-day sprints that carry members through every stage of your wider roadmap?Want help turning this tactic into an offer you can actually run? Grab the free 90-Day Offer Planner at membershipgeeks.com/480 - a fill-in-the-blank workbook that takes you from outcome to pricing to the full 90-day pathway.And if you'd like a wider view of where the gaps in your membership business actually are, our free Membership Healthcheck is built for exactly that.Key Quotes & Takeaways:"The biggest retention risk window in most memberships is the first 30 days.""90 days, I think, hits the sweet spot between requiring people to actually make a commitment to do it properly, but also to realistically believe that they can make meaningful change.""The people who will say yes to a 90-day commitment are the ones who are more likely to be taking things seriously.""Most meaningful change in a membership doesn't happen in month one, it doesn't happen in 30 days."You might also find useful:Should I Charge Monthly Or Annually For My Membership Site?Is Your Member Onboarding Missing These 3 Vital Things?Should I Offer a Trial for My Membership Website?How To Improve Member Retention And Reduce ChurnThank You For ListeningWe really appreciate you choosing to listen to us and for supporting the podcast.We would be eternally grateful if you would consider taking a minute or two to leave an honest review and rating for the show.They're extremely helpful when it comes to reaching our audience and we read each and every one personally!Finally, don't forget to subscribe to the podcast to make sure that you never miss an episode.

Estrangement Oriented Manipulation. Also called EOM. Maybe you have never heard of that term before, but even if you haven't heard of it before, it might be impacting your family. EOM is a pattern of dysfunctional behavior, often seen in daughters in law who drive estrangements between adult sons and their parents. It can happen with sons in law as well, but right now, there is an epidemic within the epidemic of estrangement. One where the woman who married your son believes she needs to isolate him to secure her position of power. This is not all daughters in law. Some are a true blessing. And it also doesn't mean you have nothing to work on to repair the relationship. But recognizing EOM is a first step in knowing how to navigate the situation wisely, and in a way that aligns with God's will and helps you reconnect with your son, grandchildren and yes… even your daughter in law.

Client Reviews… ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐  Jenny's teachings have produced results reconnecting me with my estranged daughter I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible support and guidance received in the most tragic time of my life from coach Jenny Good. Her faith, compassion, understanding, dedication and display of radical love has truly been life-changing for me. I was so overwhelmed with feelings of confusion, guilt, and sadness. I felt lost and didn't know how to navigate through the emotional turmoil I was experiencing. However, from the very first call, Jenny created a safe and non-judgmental space for me to share my details. Her ability to listen attentively and empathize while helping me understand a different way of thinking is truly remarkable. She understood my feelings and offered tools each session in ways I have not experienced even from therapy. I am forever thankful for the medicine she has poured into me to be the very best version of myself! This has rippled into all areas of life for me. Jenny's teachings have produced results reconnecting me with my estranged daughter! Thank you for being the vessel of unwavering faith & love that so many of us could benefit from, estranged or not.

I feel empowered to continue stepping into my full power as a mother and to live a life where my children matter, but they don't determine my worth. I am me again. - Carol Adams

One of the most common patterns I see among clinicians turned practice owners is that they struggle to pull the trigger, uncertain key things necessary to build a successful business…  For many that "thing" is hiring … whether their first employee, or even their fifth. It's a process that makes them cringe, and therefore, is often put off way too long. The schedule is getting fuller. Their responsibilities are growing. They know hiring would likely help them move forward. Yet instead of taking action, they find themselves stuck in a cycle of hesitation. Not because they are lazy. Not because they lack ambition. But because hiring feels overwhelming. In this episode, I coach a Mastermind member who finds herself in exactly that situation. Her practice is growing, her responsibilities are increasing, and she knows she probably needs to hire. The problem is that when she thinks about recruiting, onboarding, management, payroll, and everything else that comes with bringing on an employee, the entire process feels so daunting that she ends up doing nothing instead. Hiring does not have to start with your dream full-time clinician. Sometimes the smartest move is learning how to attract, evaluate, and onboard the right person for the next small role first.  If you want a deeper step by step system for that process, my "How to Attract Top Talent, Manage Like a CEO, and Fill New Clinicians' Schedules With Patients As Quickly As Possible" Masterclass walks through how to attract better employees, onboard them so they add value quickly, and manage them in a way that actually supports growth. And before you leave this page, make sure you scroll down and grab this episode's free resource, The Ultimate New Employee Onboarding Resource Guide. Most hiring advice focuses heavily on recruiting and interviewing, but what happens after someone joins your team can have an even bigger impact on whether they become a successful long-term employee. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why hiring often feels much bigger than it actually is The mindset trap that keeps many owners stuck in solo practice How to use "baby steps" to make intimidating business decisions easier Why your first hire does not need to be a full-time clinician How small hires can create significant growth opportunities The hidden risks of remaining the only revenue producer in your business A practical way to start building a team without feeling overwhelmed USEFUL INFORMATION: Check out our course: Automated Top Talent Attraction and Hiring System

On September 2, 31 BC, the Battle of Actium unfolded as a desperate breakout attempt by Antony and Cleopatra to save their treasury. They waited for the afternoon winds to turn so they could unfurl their sails—an unusual tactic for warships in battle. During the engagement, Cleopatra's squadron, distinguished by purple sails, broke through a gap in the Roman line. In a move that devastated his military honor, Antony abandoned his fleet and army to follow her. Straussnotes that while Antony's sailors continued to fight bravely, Octavian's forces eventually used fire arrows to destroy the remaining galleys. This abandonment of his men was a "major no-no" that permanently scarred Antony's reputation as a Roman leader. Despite the betrayal, the lovers successfully escaped with the Egyptian gold, though Octavian remained the undisputed victor on the sea, effectively ending the military resistance of the Second Triumvirate.
