Regardless, this week had more going on than either of them planned for.What we get into:The R2 contract got cut to shreds. A lot of people who work in Ready and Resilient performance centers found out they were losing their jobs, which is genuinely rough — and made worse by the fact that their employer almost certainly saw it coming and didn't say anything. Drew and Alex both feel for the folks caught in that. Alex is also pretty skeptical of the R2 program in general, and he explains why without holding back. The PT test rumors. The Vice Chief of Staff and Sergeant Major of the Army said it was all fake news at the Maneuver Warfighter Conference. Alex's take: that's not true, and it's fine to backtrack when you see the reaction, but let's not pretend it wasn't a thing. The specific rumor — remove the deadlift, remove the sprint drag carry, speed up the run times until it's basically the APFT — is what we're working with. And if your new Army fitness culture mirrors the Air Force fitness culture, Alex has some thoughts on that.The deadlift should stay. The National Guard lieutenant who was considered one of the fittest soldiers in his state, by APFT standards, who threw out his back deadlifting 65 pounds on day one of the master fitness trainer course. Every soldier at some point picks up and carries heavy awkward stuff in chaotic environments. Testing that is not optional.The sprint drag carry is in a weird gray area. A lot of people online are saying it's the most operationally relevant event. What they mean is it has the highest face validity — it looks the coolest and most military. Whether that's the same thing is a longer conversation.The closer lands on something worth sitting with. Alex argues that no amount of data will fix the perception that human performance is a luxury program. What will fix it is senior leaders who experienced H2F firsthand — as battalion and brigade commanders — moving into higher positions and advocating from personal experience rather than a PowerPoint.And on the job board: we launched a talent network this week, the R2 situation sent a wave of people to it, and it turns out cognitive performance is the discipline least likely to have salary listed. Zero out of 61 jobs. Zero.Mentioned in this episode:MOPs & MOEs job board — mopsnmoes.com/jobsAlex's R2 blog article Jón Páll Sigmarsson — there's no reason to be alive if you can't deadliftGeneral Frost — early ACFT and H2F rolloutLong and Strong — the Mops and Moes training program on TrainHeroic Views expressed are those of the speakers and do not represent any official organization.
Today, I'm honored to reconnect with fan favorite, Dr. Tom Dayspring. Dr. Dayspring is a fellow of both the American College of Physicians and the National Lipid Association, and is certified in internal medicine and clinical lipidology with extensive experience in perimenopause and menopause management. He has been a frequent contributor and educator at Everyday Wellness. In this episode, we discuss labs that help to monitor changes in insulin resistance (specifically the LPIR score), the clinical practice limitations Dr. Dayspring believes stem from a lack of humility, and aspects of women's medical histories that may indicate greater heart disease risk. We examine statin therapy and other treatment modalities, premature menopause and cardiovascular disease risks, Lp(a) as the primary inherited risk factor for heart disease, and current guidelines, treatment goals, and recommendations. Dr. Dayspring also shares his thoughts on estrogen patch shortages and oral estradiol therapy challenges with elevated triglycerides. As always, this is an invaluable conversation with Dr. Tom Dayspring. Stay tuned for an upcoming podcast with Dr. Dayspring, where we'll focus on lipids and brain health. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: Lipoprotein changes and how they can reveal insulin resistance before fasting insulin or glucose begin to rise Why someone can be insulin resistant while showing normal triglyceride levels The importance of looking at a woman's broader medical history to find potential cardiovascular risk signals Why premature menopause and premature ovarian failure should be taken seriously as cardiovascular and long-term health risk factors How Lp(a) is the most inherited risk factor for atherosclerotic heart disease across the population Why women may benefit from repeat Lp(a) testing around the menopausal transition What clinicians may address when Lp(a) is elevated, including other modifiable cardiovascular risk factors Oral estrogen may have a beneficial effect on Lp(a). How epidemiological evidence has linked endometriosis with heart disease Why Dr. Dayspring recommends checking ApoB when triglycerides are elevated Connect with Cynthia Thurlow Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website.

What if the prophecy that came true wasn't from God at all? Scripture says that not only is that possible, but it's happened before. And, it's happening now. How can you tell the difference?ABOUT THE EPISODE:Michael Rowntree tackles the question, "Can demons prophesy?" The answer matters because it changes how prophecy gets practiced, interpreted, and discerned. Starting with King Saul's unsettling character arc across 1 Samuel 10, 18, and 19, Michael traces how the same Hebrew word for prophesying gets applied to the Spirit of the Lord, to a harmful spirit, and to the prophets of Baal in 1 Kings 18.Michael also examines whether demons can predict the future and explores why that question has to be answered carefully. Satan isn't the opposite of God, and he doesn't share God's omniscience, but Scripture and church history both describe a limited, counterfeit version of foresight that can look convincing. Join Michael to better understand, from Scripture and church history, whether demons can prophesy and learn how to discern the real from the counterfeit.0:00 – Introduction0:33 – King Saul's Demonic Spirit2:04 – Saul's Election Prophecy2:58 – Spirit of Lord Returns5:02 – Prophets of Baal5:52 – Micaiah's Lying Spirit6:49 – Deuteronomy 13 Nuance8:01 – Irenaeus and Marcus9:13 – Chrysostom on Discernment9:56 – Can Demons Predict Future?13:17 – Demonic Prophecy Conclusion14:22 – Testing the SpiritsRESOURCES MENTIONED:- 1 Samuel 10, 18, 19 (ESV)- 1 Kings 18, 22 (ESV)- Deuteronomy 13, 18 (ESV)- Isaiah 46:9-10 (ESV)- Acts 16:16-18 (ESV)- 1 Corinthians 12; 1 John 4- Irenaeus, Against Heresies- John Chrysostom, Homily on 1 Thessalonians 5 Support the showABOUT THE REMNANT RADIO: The Remnant Radio exists to equip believers who are hungry for the radical middle of both Word and Spirit.

Brent Stewart spent 20 hours a week for four months testing AI, and says refusing to use it is the real liability.Brent Stewart has practiced law for 30 years in Rock Hill, South Carolina, fighting insurance companies as a trial lawyer. He also owns the office buildings his own firm rents. Over the last four months he set aside 20 hours a week to work through every legal AI system he could find, and he came out of it with a position most people do not expect from an attorney: the people refusing to learn these tools are the ones creating exposure, for their clients and for their employer.This conversation gets into what he actually built, what it cost him, and what he got wrong first. He walks through why his AI is walled off from the open internet, the vendor contract structure he now insists on, and the mistake that cost him thousands of dollars before it taught him anything useful.On the real estate side, Brent bought his office buildings through a separate entity that rents to the law firm, then restructured ownership so his wife qualifies as active manager. That change let him run the losses against his law firm income instead of depreciating remodels slowly over time.What you will learn:Why he keeps his AI in-house and never lets it pull case law off the open internetThe AI vendor contract he recommends: lock the price for three years, keep a one-year outHow a 10 percent ownership change and active manager status unlocked accelerated depreciationWhy he tells his AI to argue with him instead of agreeing with himHow he can now spot which opposing counsel are using AI, just from how fast discovery comes backAbout the guest: Brent Stewart is the founder of Stewart Law Offices, a personal injury and workers' compensation firm he started in 1995 after running a market study to pick his location. He graduated law school in 1989 and still keeps every deadline in a paper calendar.Links:

What if the biggest thing holding your clinic back isn't a lack of ideas?It's waiting until the idea feels safe.Jimmy McKay, Tony Maritato and Dave Kittle bounce from Airbnb cereal to physical therapy marketing, hiring, recruiting, content creation and virtual assistants in an episode that keeps arriving at the same conclusion:Take the shot. Learn. Adjust.Dave breaks down the five levels of customer awareness and why most clinic marketing tries to move people from attention directly to a purchase before earning enough trust.Jimmy takes a painfully traditional physical therapy job posting and attacks it through a Ryan Reynolds-style lens: stop trying to appeal to everybody and start making the RIGHT person lean in.That leads to an even harder problem: how do you recruit a certified hand therapist to Alaska?Then Tony finds a fascinating social-media example involving an 88-year-old aspiring basketball player and asks whether physical therapy clinics are missing an enormous content opportunity by making themselves the hero instead of their patients.The conversation also covers:• Marketing to different levels of awareness• Attention → Trust → Action• Why six to twelve exposures may matter more than one great ad• Recruiting for difficult PT positions• Using social media instead of relying entirely on Indeed• Making geography part of the recruiting pitch• Patient-led storytelling• Building recurring content series• Creating content buckets that reduce mental load• Why expertise starts to look automatic• Delegating lead follow-up and scheduling• Using offshore virtual assistants• Testing inexpensive solutions before scaling them• Why imperfect action beats analysis paralysisPT Breakfast Club is hosted by Jimmy McKay, Tony Maritato and Dave Kittle.Follow Tony Maritato on YouTube at Total Therapy Solution.Find Dave Kittle at ConciergePainRelief.com and on YouTube at The Dave Kittle Show.Follow Jimmy McKay and PT Pintcast wherever you listen to podcasts and across social media.This conversation is for entertainment and discussion only, not medical, legal, billing or business advice.
In this episode of the Story of a World Champion series, Lefty sits down with 2012 IFMAR 1/8 Off-Road World Champion Robert Batlle to tell the full story of his unforgettable championship run in Argentina. Robert takes us back to his first World Championship as a 14-year-old in 2002 and the journey that eventually led him to the top of RC racing. He shares the incredible story of winning the 2012 Worlds Warm-Up with the Mugen MBX6—only to be told just one month before the World Championship that he had to race the brand-new MBX7. With rain limiting testing in Spain, Robert and his team drove thousands of kilometers across Europe chasing dry tracks, even using headlights from full-size cars to continue testing after dark. Robert breaks down the tire and setup decisions that helped him survive the brutally rough Argentina track, his battle with Ty Tessmann, his patient strategy during the 60-minute final, and the emotional final lap when he realized he was about to become World Champion. We also talk about his $20,000 Worlds-winning bonus, the promise that resulted in him buying Mugen kits for the friends who helped him prepare, how becoming World Champion changed his career, and his thoughts heading into the 2026 IFMAR World Championship in Texas. This is Robert Batlle: 76 Laps to Glory—the story behind one of RC racing's most memorable World Championship victories.

If your child has had molluscum contagiosum bumps for months or even years, you're not alone — and you're not doing anything wrong. In this episode, Dr. Chris Motley breaks down what the clinical research actually says about treating this common childhood viral skin condition, why the go-to prescription cream may be no better than doing nothing at all, and what a 1,400-year-old Chinese medicine framework has to say about why some kids clear it fast while others struggle for years. In this episode, you'll learn: Why a 2017 Cochrane Collaboration review of 22 clinical trials and 1,600+ patients found that imiquimod, the cream prescribed for molluscum for nearly 20 years, performed no better than a placebo The real story behind Imiquimod's off-label use — it was never FDA-approved for molluscum in the first place What "auto-inoculation" means and how scratching can spread bumps from 2 to 10+ across the body How the molluscum virus actively blocks your immune system's inflammation signals to hide undetected in the skin Details on berdazimer (brand name Zelsuvmi), the first FDA-approved treatment specifically studied for molluscum, and how nitric oxide may help fight the virus A 2025 study finding a link between eczema and prolonged molluscum infections — and Dr. Motley's take on why The Traditional Chinese Medicine connection between the lungs, large intestine, and skin health (the "Wei Qi" or defensive energy concept) Signs that may point to underlying gut or respiratory imbalances — including asthma, chronic congestion, food poisoning history, and digestive issues Specialty labs Dr. Motley recommends for investigating hidden gut or lung infections (MicrogenDX, Mosaic Diagnostics) Herbal and homeopathic approaches discussed for immune support, including: Astragalus: https://tinyurl.com/39j4xpnx Olive leaf: https://tinyurl.com/32c4sj9a Elderberry: https://tinyurl.com/kxvnrtep Cat's claw: https://tinyurl.com/yu8ntvu7 Scutellaria: https://tinyurl.com/4murtnuk Timestamps: 0:00 – Introduction: The molluscum cream that doesn't work 1:53 – What the Cochrane review revealed about imiquimod 3:39 – Case study: A family's frustrating molluscum experience 8:42 – How the virus hides from the immune system 10:47 – Berdazimer (Zelsuvmi): the first FDA-approved treatment 14:11 – Why some kids clear molluscum fast and others don't 16:05 – The lung–large intestine–skin connection in Chinese medicine 20:38 – Checking for gut and respiratory imbalances 26:10 – Testing methods: EAV, kinesiology, and specialty labs 27:38 – Herbal and homeopathic options for immune support Resources mentioned: MicrogenDX (respiratory/sinus testing) Mosaic Diagnostics (parasitology and gut testing) Supreme Nutrition Products (Astragalus, Olive Leaf, Elderberry, Cat's Claw, Scutellaria) Hawaii Pharm Woodland Essences DesBio (homeopathic remedies) Metabolics.com Want more of The Ancient Health Podcast?

Are you tired of second-guessing whether an intuitive download is authentic spiritual guidance or just fear and overthinking? In this guided Reiki journey led by Danni Smith, you will bring a specific decision, hunch, or concern into sacred space to test its energetic tone and physical somatic response. Learn how to recognize the felt difference between steady inner knowing and urgent mental pressure while anchoring deep self-trust without needing immediate certainty. Key Insights Somatic Tone vs. Mental Urgency: Authentic spiritual guidance registers as steady, spacious, and clear, even when asking you to do something challenging. In contrast, fear, old stories, and overthinking typically present as physical heaviness, tightness in the throat or chest, and a frantic demand to act immediately. The Expansion Test: Real guidance offers curiosity, options, and room to take a manageable next step. Fear contracts your energetic field, making you feel small, anxious, and locked into only one rigid, acceptable outcome. Trusting Without Total Certainty: Discernment is a living practice rather than an instantaneous final verdict. By pausing, muscle testing, and placing Reiki around the sensations, you learn to trust your inner knowing and stay in motion without needing 100% certainty. The River of Flow and Synchronicities: Once you release the pressure to fix or evaluate guidance right away, clarity naturally unfolds through divine timing. Guides often confirm aligned steps through everyday messages, license plates, songs, and the smooth flow of the River of Peace. People Also Ask (FAQ) How does genuine spiritual guidance feel in the body? Authentic spiritual guidance feels steady, grounded, and open in the body, even when delivering a difficult truth. It provides space and curiosity rather than physical tightness, heaviness, or frantic urgency. How can I tell if a thought is coming from fear or intuition? Fear demands immediate, pressured action and creates a sensation of closing down options or repeating old patterns. Intuition unfolds with calm clarity, offering possibilities and inviting you to take one aligned next step at a time. Do I need total certainty to trust my intuition? No, spiritual discernment rarely requires 100% certainty before taking action. Practicing self-trust involves pausing, listening to somatic cues or muscle testing, and allowing momentum to build like a flowing river.

Limiting the side effects of cancer treatments has been an animating force in the field of oncology for many years, and there's been progress to report on that front, but what if you could target cancer tumors without using radiation or chemotherapy and instead generate heat from inside the tumor to kill cells? That's the quest of our guest today, Dr. Hadiyah-Nicole Green, whose promising research using lasers and nanoparticles to eliminate tumors received Breakthrough Device Designation from the FDA earlier this year. “The laser beam that we're using is low power like a laser pointer, and without activation by the laser, the nanoparticles are harmless. Both are targeted just at the site of the tumor so because we don't use systemic delivery, we avoid all of the systemic side effects,” she explains.Dr. Green is also the founder and president of the Ora Lee Smith Cancer Research Foundation, named for an aunt who raised her and who died of cancer without pursuing curative treatment because of her fear of the side effects. Shortly after, her aunt's husband also died of cancer, opting for treatments that took a heavy toll on his body. “At 22 years old, I saw the horrors of cancer and the horrors of cancer treatment and just felt in my heart that there has to be something better than this,” she tells host Michael Carrese.On this fascinating episode of Raise the Line from Elsevier, we'll explore the science behind Dr. Green's approach, the challenges of raising the millions of dollars needed for human clinical trials, and rethinking the current funding landscape for cancer treatments.Mentioned in this episode:Ora Lee Smith Cancer Research Foundation If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

Could something in your cat's food be contributing to issues you've been trying to figure out?This week for Stuff We Love September, we're sitting down with our good friend Carrie Hyde, owner of NutriScan, to talk about an at-home testing option that many cat parents don't even know exists.NutriScan is a saliva-based food intolerance and sensitivity test for dogs, cats, and horses, originally developed and patented by renowned veterinarian and researcher Dr. W. Jean Dodds. The test looks at IgA and IgM antibodies in saliva to evaluate reactions to common food ingredients.Now, Dr. Dodds has entrusted NutriScan to Carrie Hyde, and we couldn't be more excited to introduce Carrie and this resource to our cat community.In this episode, we talk about:• What food sensitivities and intolerances can look like in cats• The difference between a food sensitivity, intolerance, and true food allergy• How NutriScan's at-home saliva test works• Why figuring out which foods your individual cat responds to can be so challenging• How testing may provide another piece of information when you're trying to get to the root of ongoing issues• When at-home testing can be useful and when your cat absolutely needs veterinary care• The story behind NutriScan and why Dr. Jean Dodds chose Carrie to carry it forwardWe're big believers in having more tools in the toolbox when it comes to understanding our cats. And anything that can help us ask better questions and make more informed decisions about their individual needs is worth learning about.If you've ever wondered whether something your cat is eating agrees with them, you'll want to hear this conversation.Check it out here: https://www.nutriscanlabs.org/products/nutriscan-feline

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.

Atypical EGFR mutations make up approximately 5 to 10% of EGFR-mutant NSCLC, and because some assays only report exon 19 deletions and L858R, they are easy to miss. In this short podcast, Melina Marmarelis, thoracic oncologist at the University of Pennsylvania, explains why these mutations often respond differently to EGFR TKIs and how to pick them up on NGS. She also walks through CHRYSALIS-2 Cohort C, which evaluated amivantamab plus lazertinib in treatment-naive and previously treated patients. Explore: • Why G719X and other atypical mutations alter the ATP-binding pocket differently from exon 19 del and L858R • Which assays can miss atypical mutations, and when broader NGS is needed • What CHRYSALIS-2 Cohort C evaluated, and the limitations of a single-arm phase 1/1b study • How the ASCO living guideline now addresses atypical EGFR alterations Amivantamab plus lazertinib is not approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of atypical EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer.

Have you heard the claim that Jesus is Israel, and that all of God's purposes for the Jewish people are now fulfilled in Him alone? Dr. Michael Brown tests that replacement-theology slogan against Jesus' own words, Romans 9–11, John 15, and Isaiah 49. You'll see why you cannot simply swap “Jesus” for “Israel” in Scripture, and how the Messiah, who is called Israel, is sent to restore Jacob, not to cancel Israel's remaining promises. ~~~FRONTL|NE Newsletter: https://thelineoffire.org/newsletterDonate: https://thelineoffire.org/donate-one-timeX: https://twitter.com/DrMichaelLBrownYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LFTVInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drmichaelbrownFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ASKDrBrownWebsite: https://thelineoffire.orgRadio Broadcast from The Line of Fire Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Most fault trees get built on gut feeling. Petra Vukmirovic did something rarer: she borrowed the actual math from aviation and nuclear-plant safety engineering and pointed it at AI agents. Petra traded emergency medicine for application security and now heads information security at Numan — and she joins Chris Romeo and Robert Hurlbut to make the case for fault tree analysis (FTA), the deductive method that picks up exactly where threat modeling stops. Petra walks through a "wrong customer refund" AI agent scenario step by step, showing how AND/OR gates and minimal cut sets turn vague worry into ranked, data backed probabilities. They dig into where AI helps build a tree, and where garbage in, garbage out still applies, why "comprehensive test coverage" is a myth, and how attaching real dollar figures to failure paths makes it easier to sell security controls to leadership.This episode is sponsored by Corgea.

You called it a side thing. And somewhere along the way, you stopped mentioning it at all.Real loneliness comes with having a calling, and most women won't say it out loud because it feels like complaining about something you're supposed to be grateful for.In this episode, I'm talking with three women from the same Catalyst Circle: Erin Port, Shawna Yarbrough, and Charlotte Edwards. We're having an honest conversation about what it costs to keep explaining your calling to people who love you but still don't understand you, and what happens when you finally find women who do.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why the loneliness of a calling is so common, and why naming it is the first step out of itThe difference between being capable on your own and being genuinely connected, and why capable will only carry you so farHow to tell a safe circle from a draining one, and why vulnerability should be earned in stages instead of given away all at onceWhat it looks like to disentangle your worth from your work, so a slow month is information and not a verdict on youWhy setting boundaries and being clear is a form of kindness, not selfishnessHow a midlife season can become an awakening: deciding what you want for your life now that you're not managing everyone else'sTimestamps:(00:00) — Meet the circle: Erin, Shawna, and Charlotte(03:14) — Erin: "I thought I was broken," and finding women who spur you on(05:07) — Shawna: going from shared intention to real friendship(07:26) — Charlotte: grateful for the life you have and still wanting more(08:41) — When you share a dream and get the blank stare (or worse)(10:32) — "How long are you going to keep doing this little thing?"(12:20) — You don't have to apologize for your calling(14:17) — The loneliness of women who carry a lot with a smile(15:34) — When a mastermind doesn't work, and what makes the difference(17:31) — The no jerks policy and how women get placed with care(18:34) — How much time does this actually take?

Today I'm sharing the conversation my co-founder Kaya and I had on Be Well by Kelly, our dear friend Kelly LeVeque's show. Since Kelly is a nutritionist, bestselling author, and founder herself, it was fun to have her turn the questions on us.I wanted to share this conversation here because we really get into what it actually looks like to build a business from the beginning. We get into questions like: How do you take an idea and make it real when you have no experience creating the product? How do you know if anyone even wants it? When do you hire? Where do you spend your money when you're self-funded? And what do you do when the thing that helped you grow in the beginning stops working?Kaya and I share how we tested our first product, which was inspired by seed cycling, a simple food-based approach that had made such a big difference in my own PMS. I was literally grinding seeds in my apartment and sending them to women before we ever found a manufacturer.We also get into how we built the company through content before we had much of a business, why we've chosen to stay self-funded, some of the very unglamorous moments that told us it was finally time to ask for help, and the science and personal story behind why Beeya exists in the first place.So if you're thinking about starting something, or you're already in the messy middle of building it, I think you'll get a lot out of this conversation.In this episode, we'll talk to about:* How Yasmin's experience with painful periods and birth control inspired Beeya. [02:10]* How seed cycling helped improve Yasmin's period symptoms. [04:14]* Why women deserve more education and options for supporting their menstrual health. [05:19]* How Yasmin and Kaya turned a homemade seed-cycling routine into Beeya. [06:36]* What healthy periods look like—and which symptoms may signal an underlying issue. [09:21]* How seed cycling uses different seeds during each half of the menstrual cycle. [13:19]* The benefits of flax, pumpkin, sesame, and sunflower seeds. [13:58]* What Beeya's Citrus Labs trial found about seed cycling and common PMS symptoms. [16:29]* What to know about seeds, anti-nutrients, and individual gut-health needs. [19:27]* How Beeya makes seed cycling easier with freshly ground seeds and simple daily routines. [22:43]* The challenges of building and growing a self-funded wellness brand. [28:13]* Learning to delegate, build a team, and ask for support as the business grows. [31:33]* How Yasmin and Kaya balance entrepreneurship, motherhood, and personal wellbeing. [38:41]* How motherhood shaped Beeya's mission to empower women and girls. [41:03]* Building trust through founder-led content, education, and authentic connection. [48:11]* Why balanced meals, nourishment, and nervous system support are foundational to wellness. [49:26]* Moving away from restrictive wellness trends and embracing a more realistic approach. [49:59]* Why wellness should support your life—not become another source of stress. [51:41]* Beeya's vision for supporting women through every stage of hormonal health.

Today I'm coming to you live from the Midwest Preparedness Project Fall Festival with a few of the people who make events like this worth showing up for. We talk about building a life on your own terms, knowing when to reset, raising capable kids, testing your gear before you need it, and why the conversations around the campfire may matter more than anything happening on stage. Featured Event Midwest Preparedness Project Fall Festival Sponsors Midwest Preparedness Project Red Flyer Media Today's Guests & Topics Dawn Gorham of The Gorham Homestead Going from working in the court system to running her own dairy How Self-Reliance Festival and community helped her make the leap Why sometimes the first thing you try is the wrong thing — and that is still progress Goats, milk cows, and learning what livestock can teach you the hard way Building confidence by doing the thing Realizing the skills from your old life may transfer directly into the new one Knowing when you have reached maximum capacity Creating margin instead of trying to keep every plate spinning Getting back to your purpose when it is time for a reset Building stronger local food networks The Gorum Homestead: https://thegorhamhomestead.com Britt Baker of Mission Brit Growing up homeschooled and around preparedness before calling it preparedness Mission work, including time in Africa, and how that changed her perspective Why your mission may be much closer to home than you think Helping people identify what is holding them back from their mission or purpose What makes preparedness events different Why the people around you are often the most valuable part of an event Getting out of your comfort zone and actually talking to people Testing your gear before you need it Camping as a practical way to build confidence Finding out the hard way that preparedness gear does eventually wear out Sydney and Craig How having kids changed the way they looked at the world Parenting as an investment of time and attention Moving away from the expectations they grew up with Raising kids with fewer screens Why removing something from your family culture means replacing it with something better Being present instead of simply adding more activities Helping kids develop creativity and independence in a rapidly changing technological world Consumption versus creation Why preparedness festivals create opportunities to participate instead of simply consume Prioritizing what you actually plan to implement instead of trying to do everything The friendships that happen when you talk to the person sitting next to you Creating enough margin for deeper conversations Their vision for Homeschool on Homestead, a small homeschool-style learning environment for families who cannot homeschool themselves Some Takeaways Talk to people. You have no idea who is sitting next to you. Don't dismiss somebody's crazy idea before asking a few questions. Sometimes the thing that fails is what gets you to the thing that works. Learn how your livestock can hurt you before they demonstrate it. When everything feels like too much, go back to your purpose. Your local community matters. Use your preparedness gear now, not for the first time during an emergency. Kids need space to create, think, participate, and learn. When you remove something from your life, replace it with something that moves you toward what you actually want. Don't go too hard too fast. Prioritize. Some of the best things that happen at events like this are nowhere on the schedule. Get your coffee at Holler Roast Coffee: https://hollerroast.com Make it a Great Week!

What if the test that diagnosed your Lyme disease, and the theory behind it, was never actually proven in the first place?In this episode of Integrative Lyme Solutions, Dr. K sits down with Dr. Thomas Cowan, a physician and author of The Contagion Myth, for a conversation that questions one of the most basic assumptions in the Lyme disease world: that borrelia has actually been shown to cause the illness. Dr. Cowan spent years as an ER doctor before turning his attention to what he calls the unexamined foundations of modern medicine, and in this conversation he walks through why he believes the original Lyme research, the antibody tests built on it, and even the concept of an immune system itself don't hold up to the kind of scrutiny any other medical claim would require.They get into the 1980s study that first linked spirochetes to Lyme disease, why Dr. Cowan says antibody tests can't be trusted to identify anything specific, and what he does instead when a patient walks in exhausted, in pain, and carrying a diagnosis that hasn't made them any better. If you've ever been told you have chronic Lyme disease and felt like the label explained less than it promised, this conversation offers a different way to think about what's actually happening in your body.Key Takeaways:Why Dr. Thomas Cowan argues the original Lyme disease study never proved borrelia causes the illnessThe case against Lyme antibody testing: why a positive IgG or IgM result may not mean what patients are told it meansWhy long-term antibiotic use, not lingering infection, may explain chronic Lyme disease symptoms for some patientsDr. Cowan's approach to chronic illness: treating a patient's health history instead of the Lyme disease labelWhy there is no clinical definition of Lyme disease, and what that means for anyone diagnosing themselves off a bullseye rash or brain fogSchedule a Free 15-Min Cancer/Lyme Consultation at The Karlfeldt Center: 208-338-8902Resources:The New Biology Clinic - https://newbiologyclinic.com/Medical Disclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or replace professional medical advice.

Learn about lyme/bartonella/coinfection testing & diagnosis with CEO of Galaxy Diagnostics, Nicole Bell.We dive into WHY standard Lyme disease testing can miss cases, what IgM and IgG antibodies can—and cannot—tell us, and how direct-detection methods such as PCR and urine antigen testing differ from ELISA, Western blot, and FISH testing.We also discuss:Why a negative Western blot does not necessarily rule out Lyme diseaseThe difference between antibody testing and direct pathogen detectionWhy testing for Borrelia, Bartonella, and Babesia mattersHow IgM cross-reactivity can complicate test interpretationPersistent infection versus post-treatment Lyme disease syndromeWhy multiple positive antibodies do not always mean multiple active infectionsThe emerging connection between infections, neuroinflammation, dementia, and cognitive declineWhy insurance coverage for advanced testing remains so difficultHow to advocate for yourself when a diagnosis does not explain your symptomsThis conversation is a powerful reminder that receiving a diagnosis does not necessarily mean you have found the root cause. Chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, dementia, and even PCOS describe patterns of symptoms-but the bigger question is: WHY are those symptoms happening?My Website & Work with Me: Instagram: www.instagram.com/faithandfitwww.upliftfitnutrition.comEmail for coaching & phone consults: laceydunn@upliftfitnutrition.com & fitandfaith@gmail.comFind Galazy Diagnostics at: https://www.galaxydx.com
In this episode of the Fire Sprinkler Podcast, we put fire protection systems under the microscope with Dyne Labs and explore the testing and science that happens behind the scenes. We dig into why laboratory testing matters, what samples taken from fire protection systems can tell us about system condition and performance, and how proper testing can help contractors, inspectors, and building owners make better decisions about the systems they maintain. The conversation covers topics including fire sprinkler testing, antifreeze solutions, firefighting foam, laboratory analysis, system maintenance, and the importance of understanding what is actually happening inside a fire protection system—not just what we can see during an inspection. Whether you're a sprinkler fitter, designer, inspector, service technician, AHJ, engineer, or building owner, this episode provides a different look at fire protection: from the laboratory side of the industry.
How do you decide what is the right medication for you after antihistamines are not working to manage your chronic hives? Dr. David Lang, one of the authors of the new chronic urticaria guidelines (still in review), walks through every advanced treatment option the way he would if he had as much time as possible with a patient in his office. Along with Dr. Gupta, they cover the three treatments available when antihistamines are not enough, what each one asks of you week to week, and how to walk into your appointment ready to choose. Dr. Lang's patient guide: Choosing an Advanced Treatment for Chronic Hives What we cover in our episode about chronic hives treatment What to think about when choosing a medication: benefit, harm, and burden. Dr. Lang explains why these are three different things, and why the one most patients are never asked about is what a treatment costs them in time, appointments, and schedule. The three advanced options side by side. Omalizumab (Xolair), dupilumab (Dupixent), and remibrutinib (Rhapsido) compared on how often you take them, how fast they work, and what the side effects really are. What the scary side effects actually mean. Dr. Lang walks through the anaphylaxis, cancer, and heart risks tied to omalizumab, and explains how likely each one really is. When blood tests for chronic hives come into the picture. Testing will not tell you why you have hives, but it may hint at which of the three treatments is more likely to work for you. Insurance may choose your starting point. All three treatments are approved for chronic hives, so if your plan covers one over another, that is a reasonable place to start, not a compromise. ************ Made in partnership with The Allergy & Asthma Network.

"It's really hard to justify a test that has any complications if there isn't any reasonable expectation of benefit," says Dr. Rita Redberg, who has spent her career trying to help fellow clinicians consider the actual value of routine screenings and diagnostic testing in asymptomatic patients. Dr. Redberg -- a cardiologist and professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco for more than three decades -- is one of the leading voices advocating for a “high-value care” approach, an uphill fight in a healthcare system that tends to reward action over restraint. Her highest profile effort was launching the instructive “Less is More” series in JAMA Internal Medicine when she served as its editor-in-chief for 14 years. On a related track, her research on the assessment of the safety and effectiveness of medical technology, specifically high-risk cardiovascular devices, has yielded a troubling picture. "We found only 1% of devices enter the market through the FDA's most rigorous approval process. The high-quality evidence to support benefit for these devices that I had assumed was present, wasn't actually there.” Join Raise the Line host Lindsey Smith for an eye-opening exploration of what Dr. Redberg considers to be the overlooked risks and false reassurance of common tests and procedures, and her efforts to put the “do no harm” principle of medicine at the forefront of everyday practice.Mentioned in this episode:UCSF School of MedicineJAMA Internal Medicine's Less is More Series If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

Welcome to the first episode in our new season of the Rhythms For Life podcast! In this episode, Gabe and Rebekah Lyons sit down with longtime friend Dr. Emerson Eggerichs alongside his daughter, author and literary agent Joy Eggerichs Reed. Bringing together two generations of wisdom, they unpack how parents and grandparents can guide children to communicate deep, virtuous principles in a way that is fun, engaging, and sticky.Parenting often tests our patience when kids blurt out awkward truths or react out of impulse, but learning to look past surface behavior reveals what is happening in a child's heart. In this candid conversation, Emerson and Joy share how their collaborative children's book set in the "Land of Nuf" offers a roadmap for families to practice emotional health, discipleship, and intentional rhythms. You'll discover how shifting from heavy-handed consequences to gentle redirection can transform your family's culture, leaving you with actionable steps toward building resilient, grace-filled relationships.In this episode, you'll hear:The Four Pillars of Communication: Learn how filtering speech through whether it is true, kind, necessary, and clear provides a practical framework for wise conversation.The Power of the Do-Over: Discover how offering a lighthearted do-over gives children an accessible path toward repair and resilience without falling into shame.Decoding Childhood Behavior: Unpack the three distinct drivers behind acting out—helping parents discern between open defiance, normal childishness, or a child feeling unloved.Why Tone Precedes Meaning: Explore how a child's brain senses tone before processing spoken words, showing why gentle delivery is crucial when offering correction.Seeing Virtue Underneath Vice: Gain encouragement to assume goodwill in your family and recognize the hidden strengths behind a child's headstrong tendencies.Resources:Buy Joy Reed Eggerichs & Dr. Emerson Eggerichs' Book: Beega Gets a Do-Over: A Gigglies Adventure About CommunicationDr. Eggerichs' Website: https://www.loveandrespect.com/Join us November 19-20 for our Emotional Health Retreat in Franklin, TN.

Simple Pin Podcast: Simple ways to boost your business using Pinterest
I've been on a hunt lately.Not for a new strategy. Not for a new platform. For shortcuts.Real ones. The kind that save you actual time. Without costing you the impact.Let's be honest. Most "shortcuts" in marketing? Just corners getting cut. This isn't that.This is me trying to find where the busywork ends. And the real thinking can start.Here's the specific one I've been chasing.I want a tool. Something that looks at our Pinterest content. And tells me, fast — what's trending up. What's trending down. And what we should make next because of it.Not a vague vibe check. An actual answer.Here's what that process looks like right now. Without the tool.Someone pulls Pinterest Analytics. Someone pulls Google Analytics. Someone's tracking Pinterest Trends by hand — because there's no public API for it.Then all of that gets stitched into a spreadsheet. Someone writes up what it means. And then, finally — we get to the fun part. Deciding what to create next.That's hours. Every single week. For every account.I've heard whispers of people doing this. Testing it on their own workflow. Their own content. Their own accounts.That's one thing.What I'm trying to figure out — is whether it holds up for client accounts. Multiple accounts. Different niches. Different goals. Different baselines for what "normal" even looks like.And here's my worry. I want to say this part out loud, instead of pretending I've got it solved.Gaps.What happens when the tool doesn't know a 20% dip in saves is totally normal for this account in July? But for that account, in that same month? It's a five-alarm fire.What happens when it flags something as trending, and it's really just noise?A good report doesn't just save you time. It has to be right. Or it's actually worse than doing it by hand — because now you're making decisions off something that looks trustworthy. And isn't.So here's what I'm building toward, behind the scenes.A weekly report. Pulls the analytics. Pulls the performance data. Flags what actually moved in a meaningful way. And hands it to us in something short.Bullet points. Something you can read in under a minute. Not a ten-tab spreadsheet you have to sit and interpret.I don't have it fully solved yet. I'm not going to stand here and tell you I cracked it, and here's the seven-step system.I'm in it right now. That's kind of the point of this take.So here's what I actually want from you.Have you seen anyone doing this well? Not just talking about automating reporting — actually running a tool like this against real accounts. Getting a report they trust.What did it get wrong? Where were the gaps?I want the real version of this story. Not the highlight reel.Because if we get this right — the payoff isn't just saved hours.It's that the time we get back goes straight into the part of this work that actually needs a human. Deciding what to create. Reading the account, not just the data.That's the shortcut worth chasing. Not less work for the sake of less work. Less time on the parts a machine can do accurately. So there's more time for the parts only we can do well.If you've tested something like this — or you're testing it right now — I want to hear about it.If you're in SPM Insiders, Drop it in the group. Let's compare notes.If not, email me, hello@Simplepinmedia.comThat's my take. Talk soon.—-------Here are some helpful links from the podcast:

Carrie also explains how declining estrogen can affect insulin resistance, body composition, belly fat, cholesterol, and blood pressure, plus how to know when HRT (hormone replacement therapy) may make sense, why HRT isn't one size fits all, and the foundational pieces that still matter throughout the transition.Check out Carrie's other episode, #93 Hormone Testing & Stress Hormones - https://www.buzzsprout.com/775589/episodes/2394305KEY TAKEAWAYS:
Watch the YouTube version of this episode HERELaw firm owners are constantly looking for marketing strategies they can actually track. But what if one of the most effective strategies is something many people assume stopped working years ago?In this episode of Maximum Lawyer, Tyson Mutrux sits down with Ryan Webber to break down how his law firm is using Facebook ads and live webinars to generate estate planning clients with a measurable return on every dollar spent. Ryan shares how one webinar generated more than $55,000 in estate planning revenue from less than $2,000 in ad spend and walks through the entire system behind those numbers.From Facebook ads and landing pages to reminder sequences, live presentations, offers, consultations, and follow-up, Ryan explains exactly how the funnel works and why webinars can help law firms educate potential clients while moving them closer to hiring.They also discuss why simple ads often outperform complicated creative, how branding impacts conversion, why live webinars may outperform recordings, and the biggest bottleneck Ryan discovered once the marketing started working: having enough capacity to handle the new business.Listen in for a practical conversation about building webinars that convert, tracking your marketing from ad spend to signed client, testing your funnel, and creating a predictable system for generating new law firm revenue.What You'll LearnHow Ryan turned $1,900 in ads into $55,000+ in revenue.Why webinars still work for law firms.How to build a simple webinar funnel.Why live presentations can convert better than recordings.How reminders improve attendance.Why simple ads can outperform complicated creative.How to test offers and improve conversion.What happens when marketing creates more demand than your team can handle.Timestamps00:00 — $1,900 in ads to $55K+ in revenue03:23 — Tracking marketing to signed clients06:21 — Could webinars work for other practice areas?09:10 — Building the webinar funnel12:47 — Follow-up and reminders15:35 — Hosting the live webinar18:15 — Building the presentation20:07 — Creating the offer22:21 — Testing and improving the funnel24:49 — Live vs. prerecorded webinars28:44 — Ryan's biggest webinar lessons31:17 — Final takeawaysConnect with RyanPodcast Instagram Threads Youtube YouTube Blueprint
