Most actors treat their careers like a guessing game. Send a few emails. Hope someone notices. Post on Instagram. Cross your fingers. But what if you could know what's working? What if you had the exact information to make better choices, save time, and book more work? That is what tracking data does for you, and yes, it is way less boring than it sounds. Why Most Actors Avoid Tracking (and Why That Hurts Them) A lot of actors shy away from anything that feels “too business.” They think tracking numbers will suck the artistry out of what they do. But here is the thing: you are your own product. If you are selling anything, you need to know what is resonating and what is falling flat. Data is not about turning you into a robot. It is more like a script you did not know you needed. It tells you what is landing, what is missing the mark, and where to put your energy next. How to Start Small Without Overcomplicating It You do not need fancy software to start. A simple spreadsheet can change the game. Write down who you contacted and when, the subject line you used, whether they opened it, clicked, replied, or ignored it. Tools like MailTrack, Boomerang, or Yesware will do the tracking for you. Open rates tell you if your subject line was compelling. Click-through rates tell you if your reel or website got attention. The Power of Testing What Works Want to level it up? Try sending two slightly different versions of the same email, maybe just the subject line changes, and see which one gets better results. That is A/B testing. It is not complicated, and it tells you exactly what works. What Your Website Metrics Can Reveal Installing Google Analytics (it is free) can show you how many people visit, where they came from, how long they stay, and what they click. You might even notice patterns, like everyone skipping your résumé PDF but clicking on your behind-the-scenes video. That is information you can use. Heatmap tools like Hotjar take it further by showing where people actually click. If your most-visited link is your dog's Instagram, maybe rethink what you are putting front and center. Social Media: Looking Beyond Likes Social media works the same way. It is not about likes, it is about patterns. Which posts get saved the most? Which videos are watched to the end? Does posting at 9 a.m. get more engagement than 9 p.m.? Use those answers to repeat what is working and retire what is not. Your Weekly Career Check-In Once a week, set aside time to check: Emails sent, opened, clicked, and replied to Social media reach, saves, and comments Website traffic and bounce rate Auditions requested and booked Optional but useful: moments you felt completely burned out It does not have to take long, but it will change the way you approach your career. Data without action is just a sad spreadsheet. The Takeaway Tracking does not make you less creative, it makes you more strategic. It gives you the freedom to spend your energy where it matters most. Start small. Track your emails, your socials, your auditions. Let the numbers guide your next move instead of just hoping you are on the right path. And if you want one-on-one coaching to help you track, strategize, and grow your acting career, reach out to hello@actingbusinessbootcamp.com. Let us build your career with purpose, not guesswork.

What if your KPIs are hiding your true impact and that's why you're not getting promoted? Most CSMs are tracking what leadership asks and missing the real proof that moves careers forward. If your best work is going unnoticed, you're not alone. That's why in this episode, I reveal the three high-impact metrics I personally used to score raise after raise (including how I built a 200k IC role from scratch), the “invisible work” you should start logging today, and how to create your own bulletproof folder of receipts for interviews, promotions, and layoff protection. Hear the small, simple experiments that can lead to company-wide change and find out how to capture the magic that really sets you apart.You'll learn how to turn invisible effort into undeniable evidence, make your value pop in every review, and protect yourself from layoffs or missed opportunities. Want to know the "receipts" no one else is collecting but every leader cares about? Press play now and get the edge you deserve.

Chris and Corey are joined by Blackpearl Group's CTO, Sam Daish. In this episode, he's dousing us with the reality of why most sales AI tools are basically expensive cat toys. Blackpearl has built Bebop.AI, a tool that makes sense as an addition to a sales pro's tech stack. It could probably replace several nonsensical shiny AI  tools they are currently batting around instead of making calls. Corey's firing questions about AI fatigue (because let's face it, we all have it), while Chris goes full mathematician on us with this brutal insight: sales reps are like cats chasing laser pointers with AI. Lots of movement, lots of fascination, but nobody's actually catching anything. You may wonder how this fits in with BeBop.ai. It will make more sense after you hear the origin story - they almost called it "Hot Pipe" until someone pointed out the, uh, alternative interpretations. Instead, they went with a full bebop jazz vibe in the function and tone because they wanted sales to feel like improvisation, not a pile of dated rigid playbooks. As the real kicker, Chris breaks down why most AI implementations fail: false negatives. You're not just calling the wrong people - you're missing the right ones entirely. And Sam's nodding along because BebopAI tackles this by making the entire Internet your database instead of some limited proprietary dataset. The feature that gets reps most excited? Not the fancy prospect data. It's the objection handling. Turns out confidence beats information every time. Join us for this episode, “The Laser Pointer Problem: Why your reps are chasing AI like distracted cats .” Action Items Suggested in This Episode: For Sales Leaders/CROs Audit your AI strategy focus - Are you trying to bring bottom performers up, or amplify your top performers? Chris argues the latter delivers exponentially better ROI Identify your "Jonti McLarens" - Find your top performers and give them 10% more time/better tools (equivalent to adding 10 middle-tier reps) Evaluate your current AI tools - Are they creating "laser pointer cat" behavior or getting reps to more conversations? For Sales Reps Test BeBop.ai's's dossier approach, with a special focus on the objection handling feature that receives the most positive feedback. Use AI for discovery prep, not avoidance - Read dossiers in the minutes before scheduled meetings when memory retention is highest. Ask "why" to AI responses - Sam emphasizes this helps uncover hallucinations and improves reasoning. For Sales Operations/Enablement Shift from proprietary databases to "Internet as database" tools - Evaluate platforms that can digest broader data sources Implement AI that works as "companion, not a replacement" - Focus on tools that enhance human expertise rather than substitute for it Measure false negatives, not just false positives - Track opportunities missed, not just wrong prospects contacted For Product/Marketing Teams Load your website into BebopAI - Sam says this simple step works really well for basic company understanding Document your go-to-market messaging - Feed it into AI tools for consistent, company-specific responses. Create objection handling libraries - The most requested feature, according to Sam's feedback. For Executives/Investors Recognize top salespeople as an innovation economy constraint - Chris's thesis: Elite sales performance limits how fast innovation spreads Budget for commission accelerators - Top performers using AI tools may exceed traditional quota expectations Rethink headcount-based scaling - Focus on amplifying existing top talent vs. adding middle-tier reps Immediate Next Steps Try the "Internet as database" approach - Ask AI tools open-ended questions like "find me customers for [your company]"

Are you homeschooling a neurodivergent child, or just feeling like the “typical” homeschool advice doesn't fit your real life? This episode is for all the mamas who secretly (or not-so-secretly) wish for a blueprint, but end up building a rollercoaster every single day.Today, I'm joined by Amie, a veteran mom of one, homeschooling her neurodivergent son, and living proof that “just one kid” does NOT mean it's always a walk in the park! (Try keeping up with a high-speed Wikipedia page who only wants to talk about trains and Japanese sailing. It's an Olympic sport.)Amie opens up about her journey: from the failed attempt at “Best School in the System” to finding a unique family rhythm at home, letting go of expectations, and embracing a blend of Montessori, Charlotte Mason, and good old, fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants adaptability. We dive into what school looks like for a wildly curious, deeply-focused teen and how Wonder Studies (yes, still with her high schooler!) has become a lifeline for jumpstarting curiosity and keeping herself sane.Wonder how to juggle rabbit trails, box-checking, and your own perfectionist guilt? Amie and I get real about dropping the Pinterest boards and finding peace in the “messy middle.” If your homeschool feels all over the place. Spoiler: you're in good company.What you'll learn:Why letting go of “school should look like school” is the first step to real joyExactly how Amie balances deep-dive interests with actually “doing the school things”Why unit studies + living books + rabbit holes are magic for neurodivergent and neurotypical kids alikeTips for Morning Time with a single, high-intensity learner (and why baskets save everyone's sanity!)How Wonder Studies gives teens independence and mamas instant reliefLetting go of perfectionism, surviving “no core subjects this week,” and still raising an amazing kidWhy curiosity and joy matter just as much, if not more, than checking the boxesResources mentioned in this episode:Wonder Studies Annual AccessTeens on Track resources:Morning Time PlansFor full show notes and a transcript of today's episode, head to pambarnhill.com/hsbt44Mentioned in this episode:Wonder Studies Annual Access Now OpenDoors close August 15.

We've made it to the final episode of Season 6! Honestly, I've lost count of how many episodes we've done together, but I do know this: I'm so grateful for you. Thank you for being here, for trusting me, and for committing to your own journey of becoming a more courageous fundraiser, leader, and human.In this episode, I'm talking all about how to build confidence — and not in the fluffy, "say affirmations in the mirror" kind of way (though hey, nothing wrong with that!). I'm diving into the real, practical ways I've built confidence myself and how I've seen my clients do the same.Here's the truth: Confidence is self-trust. And self-trust is built one promise at a time.I break down:Why we often break our word to ourselves (and how it erodes trust)How understanding your own motivation style (shoutout to Gretchen Rubin's Four Tendencies!) can change everythingWhy your environment matters so much — and how to get in rooms with people who are braver than youThe critical link between courage and confidence (spoiler: courage comes first)Practical steps to build momentum, keep your promises, and track your growthPlus, I get into the difference between confidence and arrogance, how people-pleasing keeps us stuck, and why living by obligation will always dull your light.I share a few client wins too — like someone who raised $560K in just 6 months as a one-person shop. Not because they suddenly became confident overnight, but because they created an environment where courage was the norm.Take this with you: Make a list of the things you've been putting off. Give yourself a deadline. Tell someone. Take the risk. Track the win. Repeat.If you've been feeling like confidence is just out of reach — listen to this. I promise, you are more capable than you think. And building self-trust is totally possible, no matter where you're starting from. I'd love to hear from you: What's a courageous risk you've taken recently? Share it in the comments or DM me on LinkedIn — let's celebrate together.If this episode resonated, pass it on to a colleague who needs a confidence boost today.Here's to living by design, not default.Do you need to make bolder asks, but you have to figure out what the heck you're going to say? I have a free gift for you. Go to JulieOrdonez. com and get my free donor scripts cheat sheet. You'll get the exact words I've used to raise 50 million from individuals.

At 65, Judi Oyama is still lining up at the start gate — not in a “Masters” category, but shoulder-to-shoulder with athletes half, or even a quarter her age. She's a World Champion slalom skateboarder, a Hall of Fame inductee, and a pioneer who's been breaking barriers since she first picked up a board in Santa Cruz in the early 1970s.Back then, women's divisions barely existed. Prize money was unequal. Media crews left during women's finals. Judi skated anyway — pushing through invisibility, injury, and a sport that wasn't built to include her. Five decades later, she's still competing, still winning, and mentoring the next generation of racers who may one day take the sport to the Olympics.In this episode, we talk about:What slalom skateboarding actually is — and why it's so addictiveHow Judi fought for gender and racial equality in skateboardingThe longevity toolkit she's built: CrossFit, heavy lifting, recovery, and smart nutritionWhy representation matters, and how she's mentoring young women in the sportHow to stay competitive, joyful, and relevant in your sport for decadesHer motto: “Be badass every day” — and what it means in practiceWhether you've ever stepped on a skateboard or not, Judi's story is about rewriting the limits others put on you, and replacing them with your own.Follow Judi on Instagram Cover pic

It's Back to School time…Here's 10 Reading Excuses that Don't Fly or Read On Sistah : )Saying you don't have time - Empty distractions time will rob (set a goal to read a little every day. Even if it is just a few sentences)It doesn't matter what I read - Set the bar high - be a reading snob (we become what we consume. So many great options. Follow book review youtubers you trust or The Recap Book Chat Podcast for some great recommendations)I can't remember what I read. Reading w/o reflection is like taking a shower w/o soap (book journaling and book clubs help loads in the remembering department)I'm in a reading rut, challenge yourself-you are not a dope! (Start small with something simple and fun to get the gears rolling- try audio books)I'm waiting for the perfect mood - Progress not perfection is the right direction (I believe you can learn something from every book, not just the ones you love.)  I'm behind…Comparing your reading journey to others spoils the connection (Comparison steals your joy, everyone has their own pace, be sure to honor yours.)I'm too tired/wired - Read anyway something will stick (Studies show it is super healthy for your brain to read before bed. Be sure to use a blue blocking booklight.)  I only have one speed quick quick quick, learn to savor slow, (try some classics! They were written in a much slower time and have a way of making the reader slow down as well)No, I can't explain what I read in a simple way, but AI can so what the hay (try some kid lit, it is written in easier to explain ways but can still pack a punch)I'll wait for the movie, NOT at all groovy (so many books that have been turned into movies have been altered from what the author originally intended. Why not do both! You will appreciate it in a more indepth way and can see if it lines up with what the author intended.)There is a reader inside all of us. We often suppress this desire to curl up with a book and a cup of joe or tea because we (insert excuse here) ________. Don't fall into the trap! We tend to do what is important. Carve out some reading  time, your brain will thank you!Booklight -  hooga Reading Journal - Amazon.com: Reading Journal: For the Love of Books, A Book Journal and Planner for Book Lovers to Track, Log and Review

Dan Nikas went from chasing criminals as a police detective to building a multi-million dollar e-commerce brand. After a sudden medical retirement at 36 upended his life, he was left with a family to support and no backup plan. With zero experience, he pivoted to e-commerce and scaled his clothing brand to over $4 million in revenue in just one year, proving that a relentless work ethic can overcome any lack of experience.In this episode, Dan gives host Ryan Atkinson a masterclass in his digital marketing playbook. He breaks down his exact three-stage Facebook ads funnel for lead generation, his method for creating organic content that works, and the key metrics every founder should track. If you want a no-fluff guide to building and scaling an online business, this conversation is packed with actionable strategies you can use today. Takeaways:Of course. Here are 12 key points from the interview with Dan Nikas:- Skills from seemingly unrelated careers are highly transferable; a detective's ability to find people who don't want to be found is directly applicable to finding customers in digital marketing.- Successful advertising requires a three-stage funnel approach (Top, Middle, Bottom). Don't immediately ask for the sale; nurture the customer first by building awareness and trust.- At the top of the funnel, the goal is to create broad awareness cheaply and allow potential customers to "self-filter" by engaging with your content, rather than trying to sell to everyone.- Use the middle of your funnel to proactively answer common customer questions and overcome objections. Create content around your warranties, manufacturing process, brand story, and social proof.- Your organic social media posts are the perfect testing ground for paid ads. If a post performs well organically, the algorithm has already validated it, indicating it will likely perform well with ad spend behind it.- Marketing Efficiency Ratio (MER) is a more crucial metric than platform-specific return on ad spend (ROAS). Track your total marketing spend across all channels against your total gross revenue for a true measure of performance.- Before you run ads, you must calculate your breakeven Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC). Knowing the maximum you can spend to acquire a customer without losing money is essential for profitability.- The key to a successful organic content strategy is consistency over virality. The algorithm rewards a consistent posting schedule, which builds reach and engagement over time.- You don't need to create brand new content every single day. Repurpose your best-performing posts from a few months ago by changing the thumbnail, copy, or format.- When starting out, a great product is more important than great marketing. A bad product will eventually be found out, no matter how clever the marketing is.-The core of marketing is persuasion. If you can convince someone to do something when there is no benefit for them, it's far easier to convince them when they get a great product or service in return.- Don't get emotionally attached to your ad creatives. Let the data and results tell you what's working and be ready to turn off a campaign that is failing, even if you love the creative.Tags:  Digital Marketing, Tech Ventures, Facebook Advertising, Lead Generation, Ecommerce Resources:Start Your Business Today: https://links.upflip.com/3H40FiI Connect with Dan: https://www.instagram.com/elite_brands_with_dan_nikas/

We welcome our latest guest, Jessica Rhodes — founder of Interview Connections (pioneer podcast booking agency), to the show! She joins us to share how podcast guesting helps health coaches attract clients, monetize content, and build authority—plus practical steps to start now. In this episode, Jessica breaks down why guesting is the fastest path for health coaches to create content, grow visibility, and generate leads—especially when your best ideas surface through Q&A conversation. We cover when to host vs. guest, how to monetize (funnels, CTAs, affiliate marketing, repurposing), and why the green-room connection (before/after the interview) often drives real business. Why this matters for health coaches Complex, personalized services convert best through conversation, not scripts. Guesting = low-lift content creation + instant authority via borrowed audiences. Hosting builds a home base; guesting builds reach. Use both strategically. Key takeaways Start as a guest to clarify messaging; then consider launching your show. Treat your podcast (hosted or guest spots) as part of a marketing funnel: problem → value → clear CTA every time. Monetize beyond ads: affiliate offers, service enrollments, lead magnets, networking with hosts. Repurpose every interview: short clips, reels, emails, blogs—one appearance = weeks of content. Leverage the green-room chat (off-air). Relationships there often become clients, partners, or affiliates. Follow demand: pitch shows where your ideal buyer already listens. Action steps (do this next) Define one offer + one CTA you'll use on every interview. Draft 5–7 signature questions you answer brilliantly (and suggested questions for hosts). Create a repurposing checklist (clips, quotes, newsletter, LinkedIn/IG posts). Build a simple booking page/lead magnet to capture interest from episodes. Pitch 5 aligned shows this week—or work with a specialized podcast booking agency. Host vs. Guest — equal power, different benefits Guesting: Audience growth, authority by association, faster lead gen. Hosting: Consistent nurture for your list, message control, deeper brand assets. Monetization quick hits Funnel-first: every episode points to one next step (quiz, call, free training). Affiliate marketing works with small but engaged audiences. Track results: appearances → traffic → email signups → sales. Support the show Rate/review on Apple Podcasts and share with a coach who needs a guesting strategy.

From the roof of the restricted Hexcloak train station, Caoimhe Wake, Antistrophe Landrace, and Brontë Adelvys can hear the approach of a train. It is a train that will take them east, towards the coastline, towards Cenn, City of Iron Chains, and towards a brush with deity and destiny both. But if they are to board this train, they must first overcome a foe equal parts cryptic and cunning: The Fleggus! This week on Perpetua: On Track to Iron Chains Pt. 02 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.03] NPCs & Monsters [PNMS] Fleggus [NMFG] Typical Traits: Territorial, Cackling, Experimental Stats: DEX 6, INS 10, MIG 6, WLP 8 Attacks: Fleggus Staff, Feathershell, Chain Lightning Special Abilities: Final Act: Stoneshell In-Game Description: A green, speckled megga flegg with a black, feathery cloak, wielding a staff topped by what looks like a smaller version of its own green, speckled egg form. It's a Wizard Flegg!!! Honestly, as far as I can tell, it seems like this guy is more bark than bite. (Do Fleggs bark? Wait, do Fleggs bite?) He's a miniboss, but he doesn't have a ton of HP, and while Chain Lightning can be annoying if it hits, once you get the dazed debuff, it's not like he has a way of taking advantage of you with that. Maybe if he had more than just a pair of regular old Fleggs ot back him up. (Also: It's not clear to me if a “megga flegg” is a special class of Flegg or not, but it definitely makes me think that we'll be seeing more of these guys.) Starter Tip: Unlike regular Fleggs, he's weak to ICE instead of FIRE. What's up with that? Flegg [see NMFL] Conductor Chend (he/him) [NMCC] Traits: Pacifistic, Protective, Warweary Stats: ??? Attacks: Get Off My Train Spells: ??? In-Game Descriptions: Conductor of The Argent Wind, this birdkind engineer has put his past of fighting behind him. In one of the preview screenshots, this guy is CLEARLY a Dove, but in game I think he's meant to be one of the Seagulls from the western continent? Not sure why they'd change that. Starter Tip: DO NOT try to start a fight on the train. He will interrupt the fight and basically wipe your whole party! Attendant Sono (he/him) [NMSN] Traits: Enthusiastic, Modest, Acquiescent Stats: ??? Attacks: ??? Spells: ??? In-Game Descriptions: Attendant of the Argent Wind. This Lobble is something of a pushover. Not much to say about this dude. I do like how he's basically a rubber band ball though. It's probably pretty cool to be a living rubber band ball. Starter Tip: I can't confirm this, but I've heard that if you manage to pickpocket Sono, you get a free drink ticket for the dining car, and that you can do this repeatedly. If you fail, though, it starts a fight and Chend will show up and lay the smacketh down on you, so be careful!

Camilla Taylor, Los Angeles artist, and curator of “My House Burned Down” (at Track16 Gallery), talks about: Her childhood with complicated religious origins, between her Mormon LDS father and her mother who branched off to start her own organization (some might say ‘cult,' per Camilla), and how art, for her and many artists, can often fit the functions that people are often looking for in religions (including being part of something bigger than themselves); how she's really good at compartmentalizing, seeing difficult experiences from her life as existing in rooms in a house, where she can shut the door to any given room; the epic story of experiencing her house burning down in the Eaton Fire in Altadena-- from her 16-hour drive home from the Sitka Center residency in Oregon, to seeing it when she approached her part of the San Gabriel Valley, to arriving home and having the wind lift her off her feet, to their belated evacuation; and subsequently how she found out her and her partner's house, and her studio, had burned down, and that that process of mourning has been like; how trauma has manifested from losing her home and studio, and the range of reactions she's received, including a lot of suggestions that are tone-deaf; what insurance will cover, and the studio spaces she's been loaned/gifted for now, putting off the need for having to rent a studio for the first time (since studios have always been attached to her living spaces). This podcast relies on listener support; please consider becoming a Patreon supporter of the podcast, for as little as $1/month, here: https://www.patreon.com/theconversationpod In the 2nd/Patreon Bonus half of the conversation, Camilla talks about: How, because of her visibility as an artist, she's been more fortunate than many others who lost homes/studios in the fire by receiving a range of resources that artists less visible have not; the lawsuits against Southern California Edison, who allegedly started the Eaton fire; the group show she curated, ‘My House Burned Down,' at Track 16 Gallery, which included four artists who lost their homes in the Eaton fire, and four artists who lost their homes in prior fires, and how the show addressed a commonality in losing one's home as an artist, with an extra emphasis on materiality; how while she doesn't know what the right reaction is, when people learn that her house (and studio) burned down in a fire, she knows that the reaction that she's going to rise above it, like the phoenix from the ashes, is absolutely not the reaction to have, because it's hurtful especially in its negating of what happened to her; and we have an extensive exchange about what I have long referred to as “the P-word,” as in ‘practice, as in ‘my art practice, a word Camilla also hates, and she talks about why language has become so important in art/the art world, including her take that artists overcompensate in art because, essentially, we/art is so unimportant to everyone else; and Camilla shares her favorite and least favorite art-speak words; and how in her teaching she's honest with students about how their work affects her, as opposed to making art historical comparisons.

8.7.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Abbott: State & FBI Track TX Dems; Record-High Tariffs Hit; Hegseth’s $10M for Confederate Monuments Texas Governor Greg Abbott says the state and possibly even the FBI is tracking down Democratic lawmakers who fled to stop the GOP's redistricting plan. We'll talk to two of those lawmakers, State Reps Christian Manuel and Lauren Ashley Simmons, about what's really going down in Texas and what's at stake. Also... those new tariffs...

We heard from Nikki Hiltz right before they competed at the 2025 U.S. Track and Field Outdoor National Championships — and now they're back as a nine-time national champion. Fresh off winning their sixth straight U.S. 1500m title, Nikki returns to the show with their full race recap.

Then, Nikki breaks down all the details from the 1500m Final, including the race plan, the drama, the final kick, and the hour-long victory lap. Plus, Nikki shares some big personal news and talks about what's next on the run and off. FOLLOW NIKKI @nikkihiltz SPONSORS:  New Balance: Click here to get your hands on the just-released Rebel v5!
