The cryptolocker virus was the attack that turned ransomware from a nuisance into a full-blown criminal industry — and in this episode of The Backup Wrap-up, we break down exactly how that happened. W. Curtis Preston (Mr. Backup) sits down with co-host Prasanna Malaiyandi and cybersecurity expert Dr. Mike Saylor to trace the full evolution of ransomware and explain why CryptoLocker was the turning point.If you've ever wondered how ransomware went from fake pop-up messages to billion-dollar criminal enterprises, this is the episode for you. We start with the earliest days — scareware attacks that did nothing more than frighten you into paying — and walk through the progression of encryption methods that made ransomware increasingly dangerous. Dr. Mike Saylor breaks down the difference between symmetric and asymmetric encryption in plain language, and explains why the move to public-private key pairs made it so much harder for victims to recover without paying up.Then we get into the cryptolocker virus itself: how it spread through fake FedEx emails, why it kick-started phishing awareness training, what Operation Tovar did to shut it down, and — just as interesting — what the bad guys learned from its failures. We cover the role of the Zeus botnet, how Bitcoin became the payment method of choice, and why ransoms started out at just a few hundred bucks. We also talk about what happened next: the rise of data exfiltration, double extortion, and even triple extortion where attackers go after the victims of the victims.Plus, we take a side trip into the LastPass breach and pour one out for the guy who lost his crypto fortune in a landfill.Whether you're in IT, security, or just want to understand how ransomware works, this episode gives you the full picture.Chapters:00:00:00 — Intro00:01:22 — Welcome and Introductions00:04:11 — The Three Generations of Ransomware00:05:01 — Scareware: Fake Attacks That Did Nothing00:05:42 — Ciphers and Decoder Ring Encryption00:06:38 — Symmetric Encryption Explained00:09:25 — Asymmetric (Public-Private Key) Encryption00:12:46 — Why Asymmetric Encryption Made Ransomware Stronger00:15:44 — What Was the CryptoLocker Virus?00:16:25 — Lessons CryptoLocker Taught Victims and Criminals00:18:03 — Operation Tovar Takes Down CryptoLocker00:19:54 — Bitcoin, Ransom Amounts, and Getting Paid00:23:20 — Botnets Explained: Networks of Zombie Computers00:26:22 — Recap: Three Phases of Ransomware00:27:09 — Double Extortion and Data Exfiltration00:28:01 — The LastPass Connection00:28:47 — The Lost Crypto Hard Drive
Ian Von sits down with Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter, and Love King Raheem DeVaughn for a raw convo on artistry, independence, and love as a lifestyle. Raheem breaks down why he's often seen as an “underground king,” his path from background singer for Ginuwine to respected solo artist, and how he's stayed consistent and independent for 20+ years. He talks creative process (rarely writing lyrics down), balancing sensuality with socially conscious “edutainment,” his community work, and why his best song is still ahead of him.

What if succession didn't need to be announced—because it had already happened? In this episode of The Family Biz Show, we sit down with Peter Roberti, third-generation leader of custom clothier Adrian Jules, to explore what family business governance looks like when it actually works—across generations, personalities, and pressure. Peter's story isn't about theory. It's about lived governance: earned leadership, deeply rooted trust, and decisions made with legacy—not ego—in mind.

From oral tradition to factory fires: Why ancient African knowledge systems survived without writing - and the brutal truth about Western education networks, the mystery-breaking power of studying abroad, and the decision framework that asks "how will this affect those before me, myself, and those after me" before every business move. In this explosive episode of Konnected Minds, Fred Ampadu - founder of Posa Industries and former award-winning chemist in North America - dismantles the dangerous nuclear-family mindset that replaced Africa's extended family systems, the myth that oral tradition loses value like a game of telephone when traditional rulers still practice knowledge passed down generation to generation, and the historical strategy of defeating rulers by sending sons to study the enemy's system and return with intelligence - which is exactly why he went to Canada, built networks across India, China, Japan, and Australia, demystified the "white man" by living in their system, then brought manufacturing knowledge back to Ghana where his father asked the question that changed everything: "This thing you know how to make - wouldn't it be more valuable for Ghana and beyond?" This isn't motivational pan-African talk from Instagram activists - it's a raw breakdown of why human knowledge written in ancient times disappeared from the earth but traditional rooms still practice those same traditions through spoken and demonstrated wisdom passed down without loss, why the most valuable asset from studying abroad wasn't the degree but the classmates from China, India, Japan, and Australia who became lifelong resources he can call anytime for business connections, why the Chinese and Turkish sent students abroad and brought them back while Africans got caught up in Western comfort and took the path of least resistance instead of returning home to build, and why every decision must be evaluated through the lens of "how does this affect the people before me, myself, and the people to come after me" - including cousins, because Africa never had nuclear families until foreign powers introduced that concept, which is why there's no word for "cousin" in many African languages, only "my father" and "my mother" for aunts and uncles. Critical revelations include: • Why oral tradition doesn't lose value like Chinese whispers: traditional rulers still practice ancient knowledge passed down generation to generation - and when education comes in, it gets written down and scrutinized to verify accuracy • The Western education strategic advantage: the economic structure is technically run from the Western perspective, so if you want to grow your business, you need to go West if possible and learn how the system works • Why studying abroad was about networking more than education: classmates from India, China, Japan, Australia became lifelong resources - now he can call friends worldwide for business connections and resources • The demystification of the white man: living in their system revealed their capabilities and limitations - the "white man mystery" disappeared because he understands their opportunities and weaknesses from the inside • The ancient strategy of defeating rulers: back in the days, if a king wanted to defeat the person ruling over him, he'd send his son to live with the enemy, learn their ways, understand their weaknesses, then return and conquer - going to Canada was the modern version of that strategic principle • Why Africans fell short while Chinese and Turkish succeeded: China sent students abroad and a good chunk went back, Turkey sent students to Germany and a good chunk returned - that's why Turkish products are everywhere now, but Africans got caught up in Western comfort • The path of least resistance trap: human nature - not race - makes people choose comfort over challenge, which is why people say "I have a nice job, a nice home, I can drive my Porsche - why come back and stress?" • Why ownership upbringing made the difference: the family emphasis on ownership was the reason he couldn't stay abroad and just work his whole life - he had to own something and pass it on • The Ghana safety reality: drove as far as Takoradi, Wa, Tamale - and wherever you go, people treat you well, no fear of robbery, challenges exist but if you ride them out, your impact will be felt • The decision framework for life: everything you do, sit down and look at how the decision will affect the people before you, yourself, and the people to come after you - that's the correct path of living life • Why every decision includes cousins: Africa never had nuclear families - that was introduced by foreign powers, extended family was always the structure, which is why there's no word for "cousin" in many languages, only "my father" for uncles and "my mother" for aunts Guest: Fred Ampadu - Founder, Posa Industries Host: Derrick Abaitey

Nadjeschda (Nadja) Taranczewski is a master of psychology, master certified coach, and founder of Conscious U who specializes in helping CEOs and founders uncover unconscious patterns shaping their relationship with wealth, leadership, and intergenerational trauma through her pioneering Money Work Program.3:00 - Nadja shares her powerful family history: her German grandmother's side benefited from the Nazi regime while remaining silent about their role, while her Polish grandmother was abducted and forced into prostitution, and her Russian grandfather was tortured in a concentration camp until he became an informant.8:00 - The profound impact of intergenerational trauma: Nadja's father grew up in extreme poverty with five people in a one-bedroom apartment, translating his grandfather's concentration camp stories at age 13, learning "the only person you can rely on is yourself."15:00 - Discovery process: Nadja pieced together her family story over decades through therapy and conversations, realizing that understanding these patterns was essential to breaking free from inherited trauma and beliefs about money and safety.25:00 - The concept of "source energy" - Nadja explains how we're born with original essence that gets overlaid with family patterns, cultural conditioning, and protective mechanisms, leading most people to live from a false self rather than their authentic core.35:00 - Money as safety vs. money as energy: Nadja contrasts her father's scarcity mindset ("money is safety") with her mother's guilt-driven giving, showing how both extremes kept her stuck until she learned to see money as flowing energy.45:00 - The three-step framework for transformation: noticing patterns, understanding their origins in your family story, and consciously choosing new responses that align with your true self rather than inherited programming.55:00 - Language shapes identity: Speaking multiple languages reveals how cultural context influences personality - English allows more optimistic expression while German and Polish carry historical weight and pessimism from generations of trauma.1:03:00 - Definition of success: "To have the luxury to realize my potential and to be more of myself in an environment where I get seen for that, celebrated for that, and loved for that."Podcast Program – Disclosure StatementBlue Infinitas Capital, LLC is a registered investment adviser and the opinions expressed by the Firm's employees and podcast guests on this show are their own and do not reflect the opinions of Blue Infinitas Capital, LLC.

From her grandmother to her mother — and finally to her — the same quiet awareness followed them through life. Not visions. Not voices demanding attention. Just the certainty that something has entered the room… or that something is about to end. She feels it before accidents. Before deaths. Before final conversations that no one else realizes are goodbye. The knowing comes without permission — and without control. She's seen presences that didn't frighten her, only waited to be noticed. Spirits that warned instead of harmed. Loved ones who lingered not to scare, but to comfort. And moments when the air itself shifted, signaling change long before reality caught up. This isn't a haunted house story filled with screams and shadows. It's a true story about inheritance — about what happens when sensitivity is passed down through generations and refuses to fade. #TrueStory #RealParanormal #ParanormalExperience #PsychicAwareness #InheritedGift #Unexplained #TrueGhostStory #LifeAfterDeath #SpiritualWarning #CreepyTrueStory Love real ghost stories?

Were the Vanderbilts visionary aristocrats building a lasting legacy, or history's most spectacular example of how to lose an unfathomable fortune in three generations? In this episode of History's Greatest Idiots, we explore the family that controlled 10% of all money in circulation in America and turned it into absolutely nothing through the revolutionary strategy of building 250-room houses nobody needed and throwing $8 million parties to impress people who already hated them.This is the story of the Vanderbilt dynasty: from ruthless railroad tycoon to 120 descendants without a single millionaire among them in less than a century. Featuring marble palaces, forced marriages to British dukes, and enough champagne-fuelled bad decisions to sink the Lusitania. Oh wait, that happened too.What You'll Discover:How Cornelius "The Commodore" Vanderbilt built a $200 billion fortune (in relative economic terms) by being brilliant, ruthless, and too cheap to buy a new coatWhy his son William Henry was the last competent Vanderbilt, doubling the fortune before his descendants set it on fireThe $265 million "summer cottage" with 70 rooms that required 40 full-time servants (The Breakers in Newport)Alva Vanderbilt's $8 million costume ball that forced New York society to accept them (one guest came dressed as a working lightbulb)George Vanderbilt's 250-room Biltmore Estate that accidentally became a successful tourist attraction by losing so much moneyHow Consuelo Vanderbilt was literally sold to the Duke of Marlborough for $95 million and a fancy titleReginald Vanderbilt's masterclass in drinking and gambling away $400 million in just 23 yearsWhy Alfred Vanderbilt survived cancelling his Titanic ticket only to die on the Lusitania three years laterThe 1973 family reunion where 120 Vanderbilt descendants gathered and not one was a millionaireHow Anderson Cooper became the last wealthy Vanderbilt by doing something radical: getting a jobThe Mathematics of Disaster: The Commodore leaves $95 million to one son. That son splits it among eight children. Those eight split it among dozens of grandchildren. Each generation builds million-dollar mansions requiring hundreds of thousands in annual maintenance. None of them work. All of them spend like the money is infinite. Spoiler: it wasn't.The Gilded Age Arms Race: We explore how the Vanderbilts competed with the Astor's and other old money families by building increasingly absurd monuments to their wealth: Fifth Avenue châteaux that were demolished 40 years later because nobody could afford the property taxes, Newport "cottages" with indoor swimming pools and two-story libraries, and enough marble to build a small Italian village.Three Generations of Wealth Destruction:First Generation (The Commodore): Builds empire through ruthless business practices and penny-pinchingSecond Generation (William Henry's children): Maintains wealth while building increasingly expensive houses and establishing lavish lifestylesThird Generation: Drinks it, gambles it, and watches their houses get torn down because they can't afford the heating bills.https://www.patreon.com/HistorysGreatestIdiotshttps://www.instagram.com/historysgreatestidiotshttps://buymeacoffee.com/historysgreatestidiotsArtist: Sarah Cheyhttps://www.fiverr.com/sarahcheyAnimation: Daniel Wilsonhttps://www.instagram.com/wilson_the_wilson/Music: Andrew Wilsonhttps://www.instagram.com/andrews_electric_sheep
Jeremy Au explains how human civilization remained mostly unchanged for nearly a million years before experiencing rapid economic and technological growth in just the last few centuries. He traces this transformation from basic survival to modern innovation, reflecting on how technology, trade, and governance reshaped human life and why Southeast Asia's development tells a unique story. 00:42 A Million Years of Sameness: Jeremy describes how humans lived by farming, hunting, and foraging for generations, using the same tools and passing down the same skills over time. 02:00 Flat Growth for Centuries: He explains that for hundreds of thousands of years, the global economy grew only about 0.05% per year, with little change in productivity or living standards. 06:40 Francis Bacon's Utopia: Jeremy shares how in 1626, Francis Bacon imagined a future where humans could create light and see distant or microscopic objects, which were once seen as miracles. 09:00 Three Generations of Technology: He compares the Walkman era, the Nokia phone generation, and today's iPhone and ChatGPT world, showing how fast technology evolves within three generations. 20:10 Southeast Asia's Economic Divergence: He highlights how Singapore's GDP per capita now matches the United States, while Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, and the Philippines remain far lower.

#183 - Jamie Edwards returns to Journey with Jake with tales from the top of the world, having ventured to the Arctic with her 21-year-old daughter and 82-year-old stepfather. Their expedition through the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard reveals a landscape where polar bears roam distant shores and massive glaciers calve with thunderous crashes that signal our changing climate.Jamie vividly describes the unique challenges and thrills of Arctic exploration aboard the purpose-built Ultramarine ship. Unlike Antarctica (which Jamie visited previously), the Arctic's main attraction—and danger—is the magnificent polar bear. These apex predators can smell prey from up to 20 miles away and swim for days without stopping, facts that add a layer of respectful caution to every shore excursion. The expedition team constantly scans shorelines through powerful scopes before allowing passengers to disembark, ensuring both human safety and wildlife protection.What makes this journey particularly special is the three-generation dynamic. For Jamie's environmentally-conscious daughter, seeing climate change impacts firsthand provided powerful context to her studies. For her adventurous 82-year-old stepfather, it was an opportunity he'd never have experienced otherwise. And for Jamie—someone who typically dislikes cold weather but couldn't resist the Arctic's allure—the expedition became another transformative travel experience, even culminating in the traditional "polar plunge" into frigid waters.Beyond her Arctic adventures, Jamie shares updates on her expanding writing career, including contributions to National Geographic's upcoming "Traveler's Atlas" and her travel coaching services. Her website IamLostandFound.com continues to serve as both personal travel journal and professional portfolio, connecting her with opportunities to share her passion for thoughtful, transformative travel experiences.Whether you're planning your own polar expedition or simply enjoy armchair adventures, this conversation offers both practical insights and philosophical reflections on how travel changes us—"you go into it one way, you come out of it another."Be sure and check out Jamie's work on her website www.iamlostandfound.com.

Women make up half the population, but their rights have always been treated like a special request. In this episode we dive into the real history of women's rights in America: from forced sterilizations and credit card restrictions to the myth of the 19th Amendment being a universal win. We exposes how progress has always come with an asterisk and why women's rights are the ultimate test of any democracy.The Original Setup: Eve, the Apple, and the Birth of BlameVotes for Some: The Long Road to Women's SuffrageRights on Paper, Fights in Practice: A Tour Through Women's HistoryThe Mother of Gynecology - and the Daughters Who Paid the PriceSterilized and Silenced: When Reproductive Rights Were't Yours'Til Regret Do us Part: Marriage, Divorce and the Trap of ForeverMusic by Loghan LongoriaFollow us on instagram: Sergio Novoa My Limited View PodResources & ReferencesThe Bible & Eve• Augustine, On the Good of Marriage — Early church writings framing women as morally weaker.• Tertullian, On the Apparel of Women — One of the first texts blaming Eve for humanity's downfall.Women's Suffrage• National Archives: 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution• Library of Congress: Frederick Douglass's support at Seneca Falls, 1848.• Alexander Keyssar, The Right to Vote: The Contested History of Democracy in the United States.Voting Rights & Racial Exclusion• U.S. Department of Justice: Voting Rights Act of 1965• Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 (National Archives).• Mae Ngai, Impossible Subjects: Illegal Aliens and the Making of Modern America.Workplace & Economic Rights• U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission: Equal Pay Act of 1963• U.S. Department of Labor: Civil Rights Act Title VII• U.S. Department of Education: Title IX Overview• Federal Reserve: History of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act• Congressional Research Service: Women's Business Ownership Act of 1988.Reproductive Rights• Supreme Court: Roe v.

What were the first words you said to your child when you became a parent? Was there something you needed to say to officially welcome him or her into this world, or was it all just a blur? For longtime Slate journalist and author Aymann Ismail the task was clear: He had to recite a Muslim call to prayer into his newborn son's right ear, a ritual that's been performed by countless Muslim fathers through the generations, all over the world. But was he appeasing God, or his own father? On this episode of Paternal, Ismail discusses a life spent navigating being a Muslim kid who preferred cartoons over daily prayers, and then how his faith influences his role as a father to two young kids now. And all the while he's been trying to somehow live up to the expectations of his father, a devout and educated Muslim man fixated on the kind of man he believes his son should be. Ismail's new book, Becoming Baba: Fatherhood, Faith and Finding Meaning in America, is available now wherever you buy books.

Send us a textIn this interview with debut author Carolyn Dasher, we talk about her new novel, American Sky, which features two women who join the WASP in WWII and their legacy across three generations.Buy the book: https://literaryaviatrix.com/book/american-sky/The blurb:Three generations of indomitable women navigate life on their terms in an epic and inspiring historical novel about love and war, family secrets, and mothers and daughters finding the freedom to fly.It's 1943. The war rages. The newly launched WASP program is recruiting. And barnstormer fan Georgeanne “George” Ector's dream is to take to the skies. Grit is what she inherited from her mother, an Oklahoma farm girl at the turn of the century who preferred taking apart an engine to stitching linens for a hope chest. She taught her daughter well. George isn't the only woman about to follow her calling.Vivian Shaw, so similar to George they're like sisters, also longs for a career flying the fastest planes in the American arsenal. For a time, George and Vivian triumph. But at war's end, the adventurous women are grounded by the expectations of others: to get married, have children, and raise a family. Vivian has other plans. So, eventually, do George's daughters, Ruth and Ivy, who embark on very different paths of their own.Three generations of women staring down a vast horizon of possibilities are determined to navigate whatever comes their way―from the hardships of war and home to love and loss, and to the fallout of a long-held secret that could change their lives forever.Did you know you can support your local independent bookshop and me by shopping through my Bookshop.org affiliate links on my website?

"The impression you leave on people is far more important than what you get from them." This powerful philosophy, passed down from father to son, forms the bedrock of Jim's Towing success story. In this inaugural episode of our multi-generational towing family series, we're joined by Jim Conroy and his son William, representing the second and third generations of their family business.From their humble beginnings in 1986 to their current impressive operation spanning three locations (with a fourth on the way) near Charleston, South Carolina, the Conroy family shares how their customer-first approach has built a thriving enterprise with 36 trucks serving communities and even the Naval Weapons Station.Jim reveals how taking over from his father in 2018 taught him invaluable lessons about the business side of towing that he'd never fully appreciated before. Meanwhile, William brings a fresh perspective while honoring the traditions established by his grandfather and father, having literally grown up in the industry – even "towing" his first vehicle at age three and taking a rotator certification class by age six!What makes this conversation particularly meaningful is the focus on values rather than just technical expertise. When customers are having their worst day with a broken-down vehicle and unexpected expenses, the Conroys emphasize patience, respect, and understanding. As Jim explains, "We're not in a very affluential part of Charleston, so it's best for our community that we're not extremely expensive." This community-minded perspective exemplifies why family-owned towing operations remain the backbone of the industry.The episode also touches on the importance of family-oriented industry events and training, with both generations expressing appreciation for opportunities that welcome children and spouses to tow shows, helping foster the next generation's interest in this vital profession.Subscribe to the Towing News Channel, available on Spotify, iTunes, Pandora, Stitcher, iHeartMedia, or wherever you get your podcasts, and join us for more inspiring stories from the towing and recovery industry.

Smart Agency Masterclass with Jason Swenk: Podcast for Digital Marketing Agencies
Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Do you have a sales system in place for showcasing your agencies services at a low-cost price point that creates an easy “yes” for your prospects? Many agencies are giving away insights in order to land big projects. However, a well-crafted foot-in-the-door offer helps you close clients faster by giving them a taste of what it's like to work with your agency, but also allows you to qualify whether a prospect is the right fit for your agency and team. Today's featured guest shares how productizing his offer helped streamline his sales process and communicate a clear value proposition. Furthermore, after building his strategic foot-in-the-door offer, he's been testing different pricing models to make it an easy “yes” for prospects while still attracting high-quality clients. Discover practical insights on scaling your agency, improving your sales strategy, and boosting conversion rates with intentional, value-driven offers. Spencer Powell is the founder of Builder Funnel, a digital marketing agency with roots in direct mail. He shares his journey transforming his family's direct mail business into a digital marketing powerhouse, discusses strategies for converting clients faster and easier, and talks about his recent experience building a foot in the door offer, which he is currently in the process of adapting and testing. Spencer has been on the show before talking about the game-changing move to get paid for strategy instead of giving away ideas and research for free. In this episode, we'll discuss: How a productized offer can revolutionize conversions. Building a successful foot-in-the-door offer. How could rethinking the entry-level pricing benefit sales?

Three Generations of Marketing Evolution and Adaptability Spencer's marketing roots run deep as part of a family legacy. His grandfather established a direct mail company that his father later acquired in the 1990s. Demonstrating entrepreneurial spirit early on, Spencer launched his own social media business as a side hustle immediately after college. The family business reached a turning point when Spencer's father attended an industry event where he heard direct mail was becoming obsolete. Recognizing the need to evolve, he invited Spencer to help transition the agency into the digital era. Together, they developed the agency's brand, realizing that having a niche would be an important to create a competitive advantage. This new direction proved so promising that they eventually sold off the direct mail division to concentrate fully on growing their digital brand. As the final step in this transformation, Spencer ultimately purchased his father's ownership stake and continued driving the business forward. How a Productized Offer Revolutionized Conversion Rates Like many agency owners, Spencer allowed himself to be in the sales seat for far too long, with an offer that included building custom proposals for all incoming prospects – a time-consuming process with unpredictable returns. The first step out of this was productizing his offer, which led to the creation of the "Remodeler Marketing Blueprint," a fixed-fee service providing clients with comprehensive one-year marketing strategies. This productized approach served dual purposes: it systematized the sales process while establishing a clear value proposition. Clients were offered to either implement the strategies independently using provided resources or hire the agency for full execution. By doing so, his agency not only streamlined their sales process but also established a clear value proposition and the agency's conversion rates soared from 15% to 70%. Despite this success, a one-year marketing plan was still a huge undertaking and there was opportunity to develop an even more accessible entry-level offering that could serve as a true foot-in-the-door product. 3-Step Agency Sales System to Build a Foot-In-The-Door Per Jason's suggestion, Spencer and his team borrowed the structure to build a foot in the door strategy and set up a discovery call – ranging from 15-30 minutes – which they use to assess if the prospect is a good fit, in the right industry, and are asking for services that the agency offers. If this discovery call is a success, the team will move on to selling a marketing framework call, a $497 call where they do an exhaustive run through of their website, look into their SEO and ads, and walk them through their Attract, Convert, and Measure framework. At the end of the call, the client will either take what they've learned and implement it themselves, move on to the next step of working with his agency, or ask for their money back. The framework was a success, with 35.5% of those who participated in the framework call converted into clients last year. Jason emphasized that the initial discovery call should evaluate whether prospects would be good long-term agency partners rather than just qualifying them for the framework call. Following this advice, Spencer encourages his sales team to book as many calls as possible, to get the practice they need to start discerning which prospects would actually move ahead to work with the agency and which never intended to get beyond that call. Implementing these steps was a real game changer for Spencer, who can now continually tweak, update, and improve it by recording the sales calls and review them with the team to highlight successes and room for improvement. All in all, the structure of an offering ladder will make it easier for the prospect, the sales team, and overall for the agency to offer value and better qualify clients. Rethinking Entry-Level Pricing Now, Spencer is in the process of reviewing his agency's foot-in-the-door pricing, by lowering it from the current $497 to around $197. Why charge less? Spencer finds that prospects often need to consult with higher-ups before committing to the current Price, which either slows down the process or could be the end of that interaction. However, these sorts of instances could indicate they're not speaking with a decision-maker, which agencies ideally should be when it comes to selling a foot in the door. For now, early results indicated a promising trend, with a notable increase in the number of scheduled calls and successful conversions. On one hand, this is a positive development, but it could also mean that the lower price point is also attracting prospects who are not the agency's ideal client. The team is exploring different ways to frame this pricing adjustment, such as positioning it as a limited-time offer or explaining that while the agency barely breaks even at this price point, it serves to identify genuinely interested prospects. They're also careful to clarify that this special rate doesn't reflect their standard hourly billing, which is substantially higher. It's something that Spencer will continue to evaluate with his team. If the lower price helps them acquire more clients monthly, it may prove beneficial in the short term and something they can revise in a couple of months looking, for instance, at client retention and how those relationships ultimately played out.

When Jesus chose the disciples, he only chose twelve. I bet there would be thousands of people who would have benefited from that three-year discipleship with Jesus, but he didn't choose all of them. It is undeniable that God passes over some and chooses others. Join us this week on the Bible Study Hour to hear a biblically-grounded message on this difficult topic.

Betty Shamieh was the first Palestinian American playwright to have a play produced off-Broadway. She describes her debut novel, Too Soon, as a "Palestinian American Sex and the City." The novel follows three Palestinian American women across generations as they navigate love and identity. In today's episode, Shamieh speaks with NPR's Pien Huang about using comedy as a way to humanize characters who may be dehumanized in the real world, the 10 year writing process for the book, and how she didn't necessarily want to write it, but she knew she had to.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
