Strong communicators make strong leaders. In this episode Lone Rock Leadership co founder Russ Hill shares three tips for more efficiently communicating in meetings and in one-on-one chats.Meetings shouldn't feel like a maze. We walk you through a simple set of moves that transform wandering discussions into sharp decisions: take a clear, movable position, ask direct questions that reveal where people really stand, and read the story their behavior tells beyond their words. These techniques are built from years of coaching senior executives and observing what actually accelerates results inside complex organizations.We start by reframing the opening minutes of any meeting. Instead of circling the topic, set a pace by offering a concise position that others can react to. Then prime the room: ask for perspectives, pause to show you're listening, fill a few seconds while people gather their thoughts, and invite someone to start. When the comments come, validate fast and keep the momentum with Who's next? This small change expands participation, reduces awkwardness, and prevents the facilitator monologue that quietly shuts a room down.From there, we show how direct questions cut weeks of guesswork. Whether you're pricing a keynote, aligning on a product timeline, or negotiating priorities across functions, precision prompts like What range do you need us to be in? and What do you not like about this plan? reveal constraints early and save endless back-and-forth. Finally, we confront a hard truth: most people share only 60 to 75 percent of what they think. To access the rest, ask What else am I missing? and pay close attention to consistent behavior—follow-through, responsiveness, and initiative—as the real signal of commitment.If you're ready to lead faster and communicate with less friction, this playbook will help you run better meetings, make cleaner decisions, and raise your value as a leader. If it helps, share it with a teammate, subscribe for more practical tools, and leave a quick review so others can find the show.

What does it take to build one of the world's top-rated social media management platforms—without a single dollar of outside funding? This week on On Brand, Emeric Ernoult, founder and CEO of Agorapulse, shares how he bootstrapped the company to over $20 million in revenue, pioneered ROI-tracking tools for social, and carved out a powerful niche in a crowded market. We talk scaling smart, making social media actually measurable, and where attribution is headed next. What You'll Learn How Agorapulse bootstrapped its way to $20M+ in revenue without outside funding Why most startups chasing VC money miss what matters most for sustainable growth How attribution has evolved—and why measuring ROI on social is harder than ever The three ways marketers can actually track what's working (and what's not) Why the future isn't social media—it's “interest media” Episode Chapters (00:00) Intro (00:45) Bootstrapping Agorapulse the Hard Way (03:40) The Realities of Going Without Funding (07:20) Reinventing Through Growth and Churn (08:50) From Social Media to Interest Media (10:20) Why Attribution Is Broken (17:50) Three Ways to Track ROI That Actually Work (23:20) How Brands Can Win at Interest Media (29:00) The Brand That Made Emeric Smile About Emeric Ernoult Emeric Ernoult is the founder and CEO of Agorapulse, one of the world's top-rated social media management platforms. Bootstrapped from the ground up, Agorapulse has grown to more than $20 million in annual revenue—without taking a single dollar of outside funding. A pioneer in ROI-tracking for social media, Emeric has built his career around helping brands not just manage their social presence, but measure its real business impact. He's a frequent speaker and writer on marketing measurement, leadership, and scaling companies the sustainable way. What Brand Has Made Emeric Smile Recently? Emeric shared that Alex Hormozi—the entrepreneur and content creator—made him smile recently. After attending Hormozi's workshop in Las Vegas, Emeric was struck by his unfiltered mix of humor and humility. Hormozi's perspective—that we're all small in the grand scheme of things, so we might as well do good and enjoy the work—resonated deeply, especially after Emeric's trip to the Grand Canyon and Zion National Park reminded him of life's scale and simplicity.

Spirit Rock Meditation Center: dharma talks and meditation instruction
(Spirit Rock Meditation Center) After a brief general account of the three ways of liberating insight, we look at each of the three--insights into impermanence, dukkha, and not-self--with a longer treatment of insight into not-self. There is an emphasis especially on how we practice in order to come to these insights. We close with a passage from Ajahn Chah pointing to the unity of developing samadhi and cultivating insight. The talk is followed by discussion.

How do you know what you know? Most of us have been confusing three fundamentally different forms of knowing our entire lives: instinct (the body's survival mechanism), intellect (the mind's analytical tool), and intuition (direct knowing that bypasses thought). Understanding the difference isn't just philosophical, it has immediate implications for every decision you make, from choosing a career path to knowing when to trust someone. On this week's episode of Musings From The Mount, Diana Lang joins the conversation and begins the discussions with an exploration about instinct, that primal gut-level response designed to keep us alive in the face of immediate physical danger and one problem becomes immediately apparent, our instincts haven't evolved as fast as our environment. Our bodies trigger the same fight-or-flight response for a difficult conversation that it would for a predator, which can then lead to chronic stress and reactive decisions. Learning when instinct serves you versus when it hijacks you has become an essential tool for navigating modern life without being ruled by ancient survival programming. We also examine the intellect, a powerful but limited tool. It can analyze, categorize, and problem-solve brilliantly, but it can only rearrange information it already has. The thinking mind is like a computer working with existing data; it cannot access anything genuinely new, so we explore how intellect can itself become a defense mechanism, keeping us in our heads to avoid feeling what is actually happening in our bodies or hearts. This is why breakthrough insights never come from more thinking, they arrive through intuition. This episode offers practical ways to recognize real intuition: it has a quality of quiet certainty, doesn't require justification or mental gymnastics, and often surprises the thinking mind with information it couldn't have logically derived. Intuition is framed as "a download of complete knowing" that arrives whole rather than being built piece by piece and we discuss the key challenge? You can't hear intuition's whisper when you're constantly in motion or consumed by mental chatter. This is an invitation to examine your own decision-making and discover which form of knowing you're actually using and whether it's the right one for the situation at hand.

When you understand The Lord's Prayer, you will understand Life As It Was Meant To Be.

EPISODE 3 – THE AI TRUST TEST What if I told you that you're already being evaluated by AI—and you don't even know it?I'm Dr. Tamara Patzer, and I help you get found by AI, trusted by humans, and paid like a leader.Today, we're diving into something critical—something I call the AI Trust Test. Because here's the truth: AI isn't just searching anymore, it's deciding. It's deciding who to recommend, who to suggest, who to ignore, and who to feature as the expert. And if you're not passing the AI Trust Test… you're invisible.So what exactly is this test? It's invisible—but powerful. AI systems like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Siri, and Alexa scan the web for structured signals of trust: online directories, press releases, podcasts, videos, bios, reviews, social posts—and they build a profile of you, or your lack thereof.Here are three AI Trust Triggers you need right now:Entity Anchors – Your name, business, and website must appear in trusted sources like Google Business Profiles, Crunchbase, or industry directories.Authority Citations – Being quoted in press releases, interviewed on podcasts, and featured in articles helps AI connect you to your niche.Content Signals – Your content needs to be consistent, high-quality, and aligned with your expertise. Blogs, videos, and posts act like digital breadcrumbs.Failing the AI Trust Test means being skipped over—by both machines and real people. But here's the great news… You can fix it.You don't need to master every platform. You just need the right Authority Signals in the right places.In upcoming episodes, we'll talk about press release power, directory dominance, podcast positioning, and how to build an entire ecosystem that makes AI and humans say: “This is the one.”If you got value today, leave me a comment or review. DM me the word TRUST and I'll send you my free AI Visibility Checklist. Let's fix your discoverability. Let's make you AI-suggestible.I'm Dr. Tamara Patzer. Until next time—stay visible, valuable, and in demand. Text at 941-421-6563Source: https://businessinnovatorsradio.com/the-ai-trust-test-with-dr-tamara-patzer-and-three-ways-to-trigger-trust-today

This week, Dr. Joel Kahn explores three advanced methods for cleansing the blood. He begins with apheresis, a medical technique that removes LDL cholesterol and Lipoprotein(a), and discusses new developments in access to this life-saving therapy. Dr. Kahn also breaks down two emerging treatments gaining popularity—EBOO (Extracorporeal Blood Oxygenation and Ozonation) and TPE (Therapeutic Plasma Exchange)—and how they may play a role in improving cardiovascular health. In the second half, Dr. Kahn turns to the topic of cholesterol-lowering therapies like statins, emphasizing how long-term use and individualized risk assessment matter more than online debates suggest. He highlights tools such as the Mayo Clinic Statin Decision Aid, PREVENT calculator, and Astro-CHARM calculator to help patients and practitioners make informed decisions.

In this conversation, Adam Roach and Jess Webber discuss the importance of clarity in coaching language, emphasizing that clients are more likely to buy based on clear outcomes rather than inspirational or fluffy language. They outline three key strategies for coaches: calling out fluff, creating confidence through clarity, and shifting from inspirational to transformational language. The discussion highlights the need for coaches to articulate their offers clearly to attract clients effectively.TakeawaysMost coaches use fluffy language that doesn't sell.Clients buy clarity, not inspiration.Aspirational statements make coaches feel good but don't convert.Strong offers are based on a clear person, problem, and payoff.Clarity in offers boosts confidence for both coaches and clients.Transformational language is more effective than inspirational language.Coaches should focus on the outcomes they provide to clients.Fluff in coaching language can lead to confusion and lost sales.Clear, measurable outcomes attract the right clients.Coaches should align their offers with the needs of their target audience.Chapters00:00 The Fluff Factor in Coaching Language02:59 Clarity Over Inspiration05:53 Building Strong Offers08:46 Transformational Language in Coaching11:46 The Power of Outcomes14:53 Confidence Through Clarity
In this talk, Jogen reflects on Maezumi Roshi's teaching that the greatest gift we can give or receive is freedom from fear. He explores how so much of our striving—whether for health, wealth, status, or security—is rooted in fear, and offers three simple but profound practices to reduce its grip. By cultivating the willingness to fully experience life, learning to see thoughts as just thoughts, and embodying a kind and respectful heart, we loosen fear's hold and open to trust in mind and heart. These teachings invite us into greater freedom, self-respect, and the joy of being. This talk was given at Heart of Wisdom on August 13th, 2025. ★ Support this podcast ★

Keywords purpose, fulfillment, meaning, personal growth, emotional triggers, curiosity, self-reflection, life transitions, passion projects, intentional living Summary In this episode, Jessica and Kelly discuss the concept of purpose as a practice rather than a destination. They explore how to reconnect with one's purpose through reflection on joyful moments, identifying emotional triggers, and following curiosity. The conversation emphasizes that true purpose is rooted in meaning and fulfillment, rather than productivity, and encourages listeners to live with intention and explore their passions. Takeaways Purpose is built, not found. True purpose is about meaning, not productivity. Reflect on joyful moments to reconnect with purpose. Identify what breaks your heart to find your passion. Follow curiosity to discover new interests. Passion doesn't have to be tied to your job. Reclaiming purpose involves many small decisions. Living with intention is key to fulfillment.

In this episode, Adam Roach and Jess Webber delve into the pervasive issue of distraction and its impact on focus and productivity. They discuss the concept of 'diluted focus' and how multitasking is often a disguise for distraction rather than a productive strategy.

Adam and Jess propose practical strategies for overcoming these challenges, including creating short-term filters for success and embracing the joy of missing out on distractions.

182. This episode of the Visibility Factor podcast discusses the importance of taking advantage of opportunities in the workplace, particularly focusing on visibility and strategic communication. The emphasis is on the need for professionals to advocate for themselves by effectively communicating their value during one-on-one meetings with their bosses, seizing unexpected opportunities, and weaving their accomplishments into everyday conversations. The episode provides actionable insights for listeners to enhance their visibility and career advancement. Takeaways Visibility is about showing your value and impact. One-on-ones with your boss should be strategic. Share the most important information first in meetings. Don't assume your boss knows what you're doing.

Donald Trump seems to move from one unpopular catastrophe to another.

Meanwhile, in Texas, state Democrats have returned, enabling Republicans to restart their gerrymandering effort, another facet in Trump's effort to manipulate the upcoming midterms to preserve his hold on power.BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/maddowblog.msnbc.comhttps://bsky.app/profile/maddow.msnbc.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/maddowshow/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@maddowshow
