Why do talented actors still struggle to book roles? In Season 2 Episode 2 of Actors, You Are Enough, Master Acting Coach Amy Lyndon and Talent Agent Ofelia Habelt explore why talented actors don't book roles and what consistently helps working actors stand out in auditions. Talent alone doesn't build a successful acting career. Confidence, preparation, technique, and understanding how the industry works are what separate actors who consistently book from those who don't.In this episode, you'll learn:• Why confidence comes from knowing exactly what you're doing, not just natural talent.• What Amy calls "stabilization" and how it creates stronger, more confident performances.• The difference between TV and film auditions, and why understanding your role in the story matters.• How proper preparation, including researching the show, writer, and director can improve your auditions.• Why trying to please casting directors often works against you.• How ego, inconsistency, and poor preparation stop talented actors from booking.• Why networking, continuous learning, and commitment are essential for building a long-term acting career.• The inspiring story of an actor who drove four hours multiple times a week to improve his craft and why that level of commitment helped him stand out.Throughout the conversation, Amy and Ofelia share practical advice from both the coaching and talent agency perspectives. From self-tape preparation and script analysis to mindset, confidence, and professional habits, this episode is filled with actionable insights that actors can immediately apply to their careers.

She urges listeners to recover their prophetic dreams, use the spiritual "toolbox" God has given them, and begin building in faith before they see the outcome.

Why did a blacksmith hide six cocoa pods under his tools to smuggle them past Spanish customs — and how did those six pods become the foundation of an industry that today supplies sixty percent of the world's chocolate? Who was Tetteh Quarshie, the man who spent six years watching cocoa grow on a plantation island before bringing the knowledge home to Ghana, and why has the credit for what he did been contested ever since? And what does it mean that the average cocoa farmer in Ghana earns a dollar a day for producing the raw material of a chocolate bar that sells for the same price?Join John and Patrick as they tell the story of Ghana and cocoa — the toolbox, the Cocoa Hold-Up of 1937, and the smallholder revolution that made a country from six pods...----------In Sponsorship with J&K Fresh.The customs broker who is your fruit and veggies' personal bodyguard.

Control what you're billed on. Tokens are the currency of AI, and how you design your app determines how many you spend. Compress conversation history instead of resending it raw, cap output tokens with matching prompt instructions, and cache static context so each reuse costs a fraction of the first request. Route each prompt to the right model by complexity, or set Model Router in Microsoft Foundry to handle that automatically — balanced, quality, or cost mode. Then optimize the whole stack. Run Agent Optimizer to test your prompt, model, and tool configurations together and surface better setups. Use Toolbox to dynamically select only the tools each request needs and cut input token overhead by 90%.  April Gittens, Microsoft Principal Cloud Advocate, joins Jeremy Chapman, Microsoft 365 Director, to share how to seize control of AI token spend through smarter app design.  ► QUICK LINKS:  00:00 - Tokenomics foundation 01:06 - Token cost basics 02:11 - Context Window creep 03:46 - Reduce unnecessary tokens 04:29 - Trim context costs 05:21 - Cap output tokens 06:27 - Cache for savings 07:54 - Model cost tradeoffs 09:15 - Model Router 09:42 - Toolbox in Microsoft Foundry Toolbox 11:18 - Agent Optimizer 12:44 - Other cost drivers 13:57 - Wrap up ► Link References Check out the tools in Microsoft Foundry at https://ai.azure.com For more about managing AI costs go to https://aka.ms/FoundryTokenomics ► Unfamiliar with Microsoft Mechanics?

In dieser Folge ist meine Kundin Indra Janorschke zu Gast. Vor gut einem Jahr kam sie als absolute Anfängerin zu mir: ohne Depot, ohne Börsenkenntnisse und mit vielen Zweifeln, ob sie fürs Investieren nicht zu alt oder Börse nicht zu kompliziert ist. Indra erzählt ehrlich von ihrer Erfahrung, was ihr im Coaching geholfen hat und warum sie heute selbstbewusst und entspannt investiert. Heute steht ihr Depot rund 40 Prozent im Plus – und der Preis für das Coaching bei Katharina Dauenhauer hat sich für sie mehr als ausgezahlt. Das hätte sie selbst vor einiger Zeit nicht für möglich gehalten. Außerdem sprechen wir über Bücher: Indra ist erfolgreiche Autorin und veröffentlicht gerade ihr 27. Buch bei großen Verlagen. Wir sprechen über Indras neues Buch, über mein neues Buch und darüber, was Geld, Mut und persönliche Entwicklung miteinander zu tun haben. Diese Folge ist für dich, wenn du dich fragst, ob Katharina Daunhauer seriös ist, welche Erfahrungen Kundinnen machen, ob der Preis für ein Coaching sich lohnen kann und wie man mit Kritik, Zweifeln oder Unsicherheit rund ums Investieren umgeht. __________________________ Über mich: Jetzt mein Buch vorbestellen, gewinnen und als Vorbesteller direkt die exklusive Tool-Box sichern: https://katharinadauenhauer.com/investieren-fuer-frauen-ab-45/ Kostenfreier Live Online Workshop: https://workshop.katharinadauenhauer.com/?el=youtube Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katharinadauenhauer/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaSuRObrglpQchBiIfKXwsg Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063805300481 __________________________ Katharina ist Expertin für Vermögensaufbau und Finanzen.

Bliss in Triple Rhythm–A Toolbox for Poets: Nine Ways to Shape A Word Song: Shown in 300 Original Poems by Martin Bidney https://www.amazon.com/Bliss-Triple-Rhythm-Toolbox-Poets/dp/1987402561 Mmartinbidney.org This book of word songs in unexpected melodic patterns will surprise you by its equally unusual liveliness. I’m so eager to begin singing for you that, as you noticed, I’ve already written a prefatory poem in one of the varied kinds of triple rhythm units I’ll be illustrating (la LA la; weak STRONG weak; one TWO three; x/x). The strangest thing I’ll be doing in my collection is to bring about a resurrection of ancient stanza patterns embodying the musical structures I love. The uncustomary triple-rhythm stanza forms richly displayed will acquire a real if unlikely novelty by presenting tools so extremely old. About the author Martin Bidney, Professor Emeritus at Binghamton University (NY), writes poetry books that are dialogues. In “Shakespair” he converses in Shakespearean sonnets with the 154 that the bisexual Bard himself wrote in the 1590s about his boyfriend and girlfriend. In “A Unifying Light” Martin converses with Qur’anic passages on the topic of Jews and Christians in the Qur’an and the Islamic virtues they embody. “East-West Poetry” shows Martin replying, in poems, to passages from both the Qur’an and Rumi. “Poems of Wine and Tavern Romance” offers 103 dialogues between Martin and Hafiz, the 14th century Persian pub poet he translates, a Muslim Sufi who was bisexual, like Shakespeare, and whom Germany’s greatest poet, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, called his “twin” brother! (Martin translates Hafiz from the same version Goethe used.) In fact, Martin has also translated Goethe’s own “West-East Divan” (divan means “collection”) and wrote conversational reply poems to all of Goethe’s 240 lyrics. Martin’s dialogue book with the greatest Polish poet, Adam Mickiewicz, contains, on facing pages, the sonnets he wrote in response to the “Crimean Sonnets” he translated from Polish. In “Like a Fine Rug of Erivan” he translates 39 Pushkin poems from Russian and recites them on a CD. His wide-ranging fascination with revelatory writing stems from “Patterns of Epiphany,” where Martin pioneered a method of analysis he has since applied to over 20 authors.

In this episode of *The Choral Director's Toolbox*, host Dr. William Baker offers a deeply personal reflection titled *For the Must of It*. Inspired by the words of Robert Shaw and shaped by his own life experiences, Dr. Baker explores the profound human need to sing—not merely for enjoyment, but because music gives voice to joy, grief, hope, faith, and the deepest questions of the human spirit. Through touching stories from childhood, family, and his own musical journey, he reminds us that singing is far more than a pastime; it is an essential expression of what it means to be human. In today's listener question, a community chorus director asks whether board members who sing in the choir should receive special financial privileges. Dr. Baker responds with a strong case for servant leadership, emphasizing that healthy boards exist to support the mission of the organization through generosity, sacrifice, and stewardship. Today's inspiration is the gospel classic *Jesus Met the Woman at the Well*, heard in a thrilling performance by Chanticleer from their album *Out of This World*. Energetic, joyful, and deeply expressive, it is a fitting companion to an episode celebrating the transformative power of song. Join us for an episode that explores why we sing, how music sustains us through life's greatest challenges, and why some songs simply cannot remain unsung.

You've invested in the dashboards. You've declared data a top priority. So why does transformation still feel out of reach? In this episode, Brandon Laws sits down with Dr. Sebastian Wernicke, author of Data Inspired: Building an Organizational Culture of Inquiry for Lasting Transformation, to unpack one of business's most frustrating paradoxes: companies that succeed at data... and still don't change. Sebastian challenges the conventional wisdom around data-driven organizations, reveals why human psychology is working against your data strategy, and introduces a more powerful mindset: becoming data inspired. From Goodhart's Law to Netflix's bold decision-making model, this conversation is loaded with ideas that will fundamentally change how you think about data, leadership, and organizational transformation. Don't miss it. Key Timestamps [00:00] — Welcome & Introduction to Data Inspired [00:39] — The bold opening argument: data initiatives don't fail; they succeed at keeping organizations the same. Sebastian unpacks the difference between getting modest value from data and achieving true transformation, and why only ~10% of companies ever get there. [07:38] — Are organizations paralyzed by too much data? Sebastian explains why collecting more data is often a way of avoiding the harder, more courageous work of challenging your own assumptions. [09:39] — What "data-driven" actually means in practice and why it's harder than it sounds. Sebastian introduces the "data deficit theory" and draws on 50 years of psychological research showing that data often hardens our existing beliefs rather than changing them. [13:45] — The Charles Barkley moment: what a legendary NBA star's skepticism about data analysts gets right and wrong about using data in sports and business. [16:03] — How data is collected and used in modern organizations, and why the real challenge isn't gathering data; it's organizing it. (Yes, there's a "data swamp" warning here.) [18:00] — Why the classic 8-step decision-making model is a myth. Sebastian explains what monkey brain research and animal herds reveal about how decisions are actually made and what that means for how you introduce data into the process. [22:36] — Goodhart's Law and the GE cautionary tale: the dangerous difference between steering metrics and success metrics, and what happens when leaders confuse the two. [25:38] — The decision-making spectrum: from fully automated machine-learning decisions to pure gut instinct and how Netflix found the sweet spot between data and human judgment. [30:17] — AI vs. machine learning: why we're wired to trust the type of automated decision-making that's actually less reliable and what that means for your organization right now. [33:34] — Data fatigue is real. Sebastian introduces two archetypes, the Dashboard Director and the Data Diver, and explains why you need both to build a truly innovative organization. [36:31] — A peek into Part 5: The Toolbox, with practical checklists, workshop formats, and tried-and-tested methods developed over 20 years of real-world data projects. [39:03] — Closing wisdom: why copying what successful companies did is a trap, and what it really takes to lead transformative change with data, including the courage to slow down before you speed up.
