Anzalone, Reader Hit Free Agency; No Tag Coming The contracts for Alex Anzalone and DJ Reader have officially expired. The Detroit Lions are not expected to use the franchise tag on either veteran. This was anticipated. Both players are over 30 and not part of the long term plan. That does not close the door on a return for Anzalone. It simply puts both into the open market. This is routine in the NFL. On the Detroit Lions Podcast, the message was direct. Do not confuse an expired deal with a cut. The Lions did not release Anzalone or Reader. Their contracts ended on the league calendar. You cannot trade expired contracts. They are not on the roster today. Free Agents Are Off the Roster Until They Re-Sign The guidance was practical. Treat unrestricted free agents as off the roster until a new deal is signed. Build your mental depth chart around who is under contract. That includes names like Robertson and Khalif Raymond. They are not Detroit Lions right now. They can return if the sides agree. There is nothing wrong with wanting them back. Just do not plan around it until ink meets paper. The weekend brought noisy headlines. Many framed it as the Lions parting ways. That misreads the process. Free agency is a timeline, not a rupture. Contracts expire. Teams and players reassess. Decisions follow. What Anzalone Gave Detroit and Who Replaces Him Anzalone delivered real value. He arrived from the Saints with injury concerns and rebuilt his stock. He became a leader in the huddle. He handled coverage duties at a reliable level. He even played through setbacks, including a broken forearm in 2024. Jack Campbell is an All Pro. Anzalone is still the better coverage linebacker right now. That is a specific role the Lions must replace if he departs. The answer might not be on the current roster. Detroit must plan for that coverage snap volume. It is not just tackles and blitzes. It is spacing, leverage, and range. Losing that skill set changes how the second level plays. Cap Priorities Shape the Next Moves The Lions operate in a new salary cap reality. Even with a cap bump, every dollar has a path. A Jared Goff restructure is possible, but the future cash points to the core. Think Sam LaPorta. Think Jameer Gibbs. Think Brian Branch. Younger players will command raises. That priority drives today's restraint with veterans over 30. Anzalone wants to stay. If all things are equal, a reunion makes sense. All things rarely are. Detroit will weigh price, role, and timing. Reader's future follows the same logic. The board is set. Now the market speaks. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #nflfreeagency #franchisetag #alexanzalone #djreader #coveragelinebacker #jackcampbell #jaredgoffrestructure #samlaporta #jameergibbs #brianbranch #khalifraymond #robertson #unrestrictedfreeagent #salarycappriorities Learn more about your ad choices.

Jesus Heals Many 17 He went down with them and stood on a level place with a large crowd of his disciples and a large number of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, as well as from the coastal area of Tyre and Sidon. These people came to listen to him and to be healed of their diseases. 18 Those who were troubled by unclean spirits were also cured. 19 The whole crowd kept trying to touch him, because power was going out from him and healing them all. Blessings and Woes 20 He lifted up his eyes to his disciples and said: Blessed are you who are poor,     because yours is the kingdom of God. 21 Blessed are you who hunger now,     because you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now,     because you will laugh. 22 Blessed are you whenever people hate you, and whenever they exclude and insult you and reject your name as evil because of the Son of Man. 23 “Rejoice in that day and leap for joy because of this: Your reward is great in heaven! The fact is, their fathers constantly did the same things to the prophets.” 24 But woe to you who are rich,     because you are receiving your comfort now. 25 Woe to you who are well fed now,     because you will be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now,     because you will be mourning and weeping. 26 Woe to you when all people speak well of you,     because that is how their fathers constantly treated the         false prophets. Love Your Enemies 27 “But I say to you who are listening: Love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you. 28 Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who mistreat you. 29 If someone strikes you on one cheek, offer the other too. If someone takes away your coat, do not withhold your shirt. 30 Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes away your things, do not demand them back. 31 “Treat others just as you would want them to treat you. 32 If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? To be sure, even the sinners love those who love them. 33 And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? Even the sinners do the same thing. 34 If you lend to those from whom you expect to be repaid, what credit is that to you? Even the sinners lend to sinners in order to be paid back in full. 35 Instead, love your enemies, do good and lend, expecting nothing in return. Your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the unthankful and the evil. 36 Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. #top .hr.hr-invisible.av-aocsdx-89cb4ca21532423cf697fc393b6fcee0{ height:10px; } The Holy Bible, Evangelical Heritage Version®, EHV®, © 2019 Wartburg Project, Inc.

In this co-hosted episode, Travis Chappell and producer Eric dive into why treating a small audience like a massive one is the fastest way to long-term success. From Gary Vee's iconic “1 > 0” philosophy to Markiplier's creator journey, they unpack what it really means to respect people's attention, stop chasing vanity metrics, and show up consistently — even when the views feel small. This episode is a candid conversation about content creation, gratitude, and why every post is a lottery ticket. On this episode we talk about: Gary Vee's “one is greater than zero” mindset and why it matters for creators Why small audiences deserve the same effort as large ones How social media metrics can distort reality and kill momentum Treating attention as earned — not owed Why consistency beats perfection when building online Top 3 Takeaways One person paying attention is already a win. Treat every viewer, listener, or follower like they matter — because they do. Stop chasing viral moments and start building trust. Long-term growth comes from showing up consistently, not waiting for overnight success. Your real competition is everything else fighting for attention. Netflix, TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram are all competing for the same eyeballs — so respect your audience's time. Notable Quotes “The only way to get a massive audience is to treat your tiny audience like it's already massive.” “Behind every subscriber is a person living their life and willing to give you their time.” “Every post is a lottery ticket — it only takes one to change everything.” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell Other: https://travischappell.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

This conversation between Melissa and Diana dives deep into a holistic, empowering approach to women's health in midlife—and it boldly challenges the outdated “getting old” story many women are told.

Ritual spellcasting is the part of tabletop roleplaying games where wizards stop blowing things up for ten minutes and instead argue about chalk circles, incense pricing, and whether chanting counts as a somatic component if you're holding snacks. In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, we dive deep into D&D ritual casting mechanics, explore how Pathfinder and 5e ritual spells change encounter pacing, and discuss how to turn out-of-combat magic systems into storytelling tools instead of bookkeeping exercises. Because sometimes the real magic isn't Fireball — it's spending eleven minutes summoning a familiar while your party rogue steals your candles. Show Notes Ritual magic sits in a fascinating design space across modern tabletop RPG systems, particularly in Dungeons & Dragons 5e ritual spellcasting rules, where casting without expending spell slots reshapes resource management and exploration play. In this episode, the hosts explore how ritual casting in tabletop RPGs functions both as a mechanical subsystem and as a narrative lever for immersion. Rather than treating ritual spells like background noise, we discuss ways GMs and players can frame non-combat spellcasting mechanics as collaborative storytelling moments that reinforce tone, pacing, and worldbuilding. The conversation begins with a mechanical breakdown of how ritual casting works in D&D, including class access, preparation requirements, and opportunity cost. We compare approaches to ritual magic systems in Pathfinder and other TTRPGs, highlighting how design differences affect party planning and gameplay tension. Along the way, we touch on optimization considerations for players researching best ritual spells for utility and exploration, and how ritual access can shape character identity outside of combat encounters. From there, the discussion pivots toward table culture and presentation. Ritual casting is an opportunity to create sensory texture — chanting, environmental interaction, symbolic components — and we outline practical techniques for GMs seeking to immerse players through magical storytelling. This includes pacing strategies, spotlight balance, and methods for integrating ritual outcomes into ongoing campaign arcs rather than treating them as isolated mechanics. Finally, we address common pitfalls. Overuse can trivialize challenges, while underuse wastes design space. By framing rituals as collaborative scenes instead of background automation, tables can unlock deeper engagement with fantasy roleplaying immersion techniques and reinforce the feeling that magic is mysterious, costly, and meaningful. Whether you're optimizing your spellbook or building cinematic magical moments, this episode provides both system mastery and creative inspiration for getting more out of ritual spellcasting at your table. Key Takeaways Ritual spellcasting in D&D 5e allows slot-free utility casting but requires time investment and preparation planning Understanding how ritual casting works in tabletop RPG systems helps players optimize exploration and resource management Many best ritual spells for roleplaying immersion shine outside combat and define character identity GMs can elevate non-combat magic storytelling by emphasizing sensory description and table participation Ritual scenes are opportunities to reinforce pacing, spotlight sharing, and narrative tone Comparing ritual mechanics across Pathfinder and 5e highlights how system design affects tension and preparation Avoid trivializing obstacles — meaningful cost or risk keeps ritual magic engaging Treat rituals as collaborative scenes rather than background mechanics to enhance immersion Strong presentation transforms fantasy ritual casting experiences into memorable campaign moments Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast.

In this episode, Sabrina breaks down self-abandonment in dating and relationships, why losing yourself often gets mislabeled as love, and how chronic people-pleasing, codependency, and anxious attachment actually form.

Is AI conscious? Will it be someday? And should we be nice to it now... just in case?This FAFO Friday, Kwaku and I dive into the mind-bending world of machine consciousness.We cover a lot of ground, weaving from the different ways that Luke (co-dependent with R2) and Han (barking commands at C-3PO) treat their droids to whether Pascal's Wager informs whether we should believe in AI consciousness just in case they do come alive and have been keeping score. (Pascal figured it was the safe bet to believe in God, just in case; maybe we should do likewise?) That's from us knuckleheads, but we've also got a true expert on consciousness. This week I interviewed Daniel Hulme, one of the world's leading AI researchers. He's the Chief AI Officer at WPP, the CEO of Satalia (which WPP bought) and just founded and is CEO of Conscium, which is researching AI consciousness, efficiency (he thinks we're scaling wrong and LLM's are not the way), and building a platform to verify AI agents are safe. You'll hear the first five minutes of my interview with Daniel. Daniel was not surprised by Moltbook (the Reddit-style site that AI agents built for themselves). That's because he's been putting agents together (in a “primordial soup” as he put it) for decades to observe the wild and wonderful ways they behave and to see if they'd create intelligence.Daniel does not think today's agents are conscious, but can see a path to it. And he believes that a conscious superintellignece would be safer than a “zombie” one. But mostly he doesn't want machines to feel pain and suffer. Huh???My brain is still kind of broken from our hourlong chat, which I'm producing now and will be released in a few weeks. For now, enjoy this preview and more from Kwaku and me as we talk about what we expect from machines, whether we want to be one with them, and more…

Tactical Transition Tips Round 110 of the Transition Drill Podcast offers practical guidance and career readiness for veterans and first responders, organized based on how far out your exit is. In this episode, learn how a guaranteed paycheck can shift your mindset from building your future to coasting toward it.You've earned the right to think about your pension. You've put in years most people will never understand, and the idea of a guaranteed check waiting on the other side can feel like proof you did it right.But that same calm can quietly take the edge off your preparation.In this episode, it's about the trap that shows up in small, normal decisions while you're still serving: you stop pushing to build civilian skills, you delay the resume, you don't study the market, and you start thinking, “I only need a little extra income.” It doesn't feel like avoidance in the moment. It feels like patience. Then the interview comes, and someone asks what value you bring, and you realize you never practiced answering that question outside your current system.This isn't anti pension. It's pro strategy. A pension is supposed to reduce catastrophic risk, not replace ambition. It's a safety net, not a ceiling.Transition tips by group:Close Range Group (less than a year out): Don't accept a low civilian salary because “you have a pension.” One sentence why: If you start your negotiations low because you feel financially safe, you can lock yourself into a lower earning trajectory for years.Medium Range Group (a few years out): Build your lifestyle on today's money and invest tomorrow's. One sentence why: If you mentally spend your pension now and raise your lifestyle early, you lose flexibility, and flexibility is what protects you during transition.Long Range Group (at least a decade away): Treat your pension like the ground floor of your financial building, not the penthouse. One sentence why: You've got time to stack income sources and financial skills now, so your pension becomes one piece of your plan, not the whole plan.Get additional resources and join our newsletter via the link in the show notes.CONNECT WITH THE PODCAST:IG: https://www.instagram.com/paulpantani/WEBSITE: https://www.transitiondrillpodcast.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulpantani/SIGN-UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER:https://transitiondrillpodcast.com/home#aboutQUESTIONS OR COMMENTS:paul@transitiondrillpodcast.comSPONSORS:GRND CollectiveGet 15% off your purchaseLink: https://thegrndcollective.com/Promo Code: TRANSITION15Blue Line RoastingGet 10% off your purchaseLink: https://bluelineroasting.comPromocode: Transition10#tacticaltransitiontips #militarytransition #firstresponders

What does it take to win a competitive retail LOI today?Retail leases are moving fast again, and in East Tennessee, they are moving faster than most people think is possible.Chris Ressa talks with Lindsey Barden, founder of Dark Horse CRE, a tenant-rep-only broker covering Knoxville, Chattanooga, and the Tri-Cities. Her view from the ground is simple: vacancy is extremely low, the best spaces trade off-market, and retailers are routinely battling multiple LOIs for the same box. In the past six months, Lindsey says 80-to-90 percent of her deals have been competitive, forcing brands to show up ready to commit, pay closer to asking, and cut through internal red tape.Landlords are prioritizing certainty and speed, especially in second-generation space. The tenants winning deals are the ones asking for less work and fewer dollars from ownership, tightening timelines, and moving from “perfect protections” to more balanced lease terms.The proof point is a Crunch Fitness anchor lease that went from discovery to signed lease in roughly two weeks. No traditional LOI. Basic terms handled by email. Architects and contractors brought in immediately. Approvals happening across time zones. A two-level layout that required creative planning, not a cookie-cutter prototype. Two motivated parties decided the deal mattered, and executed like it.If you want a takeaway: stop treating leasing like a slow process. Treat it like a race. Speed wins.What You'll HearWhy East Tennessee is one of the tightest retail markets in the country — and what low vacancy really means for tenants trying to expand.What 80 to 90 percent competitive deal flow looks like in practice — multiple LOIs, limited second-generation space, and constant off-market conversations.How landlords are prioritizing certainty over creativity — why minimal TI, faster approvals, and fewer contingencies are winning deals.What retailers must change internally to compete — consolidating corporate review, accelerating decision-making, and committing earlier.How a Crunch Fitness anchor lease went from tour to signed in 14 days — no traditional LOI, creative problem solving on a two-level box, and approvals happening across time zones.Why speed is the ultimate differentiator in today's leasing environment — and how motivated parties can compress timelines dramatically.A thoughtful look at retail saturation vs. market expansion — coffee, chicken, gyms, and how to separate durable concepts from passing trends.The mindset shift required to win in 2026 retail real estate — treat leasing less like a negotiation marathon and more like a sprint.Chapters00:00 – Meet Lindsey BardenA 20-year tenant rep veteran shares her journey from Virginia brokerage to founding Dark Horse CRE in East Tennessee.08:15 – Why East Tennessee Is So CompetitiveLindsey breaks down Knoxville's low vacancy,...

When a relationship breaks, the toughest part isn't logistics—it's the moment you realize you don't recognize yourself anymore. This episode is about rebuilding from that disorienting place and finding solid ground again. On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Yusuf sits down with Ralph Brewer of Help For Men and Dad Starting Over to unpack what men feel after divorce or in an unhappy marriage: fear, abandonment, and identity loss. They explore why many men “outsource” identity, how childhood patterns shape adult relationships, and how community, therapy, and honest self-reflection help men rebuild—without shame. About the Guest: Ralph Brewer is the voice behind Help For Men and the Dad Starting Over podcast. He supports men navigating divorce, heartbreak, and relationship struggles, with a focus on rebuilding identity and stability. Key Takeaways: Notice when your identity is tied to roles (husband, job title) instead of values and purpose. Treat “rock bottom” as information: it often reveals deeper relationship patterns to address. Trace people-pleasing and validation-seeking back to early family dynamics and relearn healthier patterns. If you're anxiously attached, practice giving space and building emotional self-regulation. Don't rebuild alone: find a men's community, mentorship, or therapy for reality checks and support. How to Connect With the Guest: Help For Men - direct link to the sign-up page for Ralph's HFM Brotherhood - the private support community for men. We offer very active private forums, frequent live zoom meetings, courses, coaching, and over 1,300 hours of audio content for our members. Ralph also host annual conferences in the US and Australia.

In the 1990s, Microsoft and Netscape fought for control of the browser, the gateway between humans and the internet. Netscape went from 90% market share to zero in five years. Now, with over 30 agentic browsers launching in under 18 months, the same war is playing out again, only this time the stakes are higher. This episode breaks down the 90s browser wars, compares the tactics to what's happening today, and explains what website owners should do about it.Key takeawaysThe playbook hasn't changed - Bundling, free products, proprietary lock-in, and distribution deals decided the 90s browser wars. The same tactics are playing out with agentic browsers today.Google is running Microsoft's 1995 playbook - Microsoft embedded IE into Windows to protect its OS monopoly. Google is embedding Gemini into Chrome to protect its search monopoly. The browser is the defensive weapon, not the product.The Chromium trap is deeper than IE bundling ever was - Most agentic browsers (Comet, Atlas, Neon) run on Google's Chromium engine. Even competitors are built on Google's foundation.The prize shifted from attention to transactions - The 90s fight was about what people see. The agentic browser fight is about what AI agents buy, book, and do on your behalf.Your website is the new Netscape - If AI agents mediate every user interaction, your site risks becoming invisible infrastructure rather than a destination.Regulation will be too late - The DOJ took 6 years to settle with Microsoft. Netscape was already dead. The same timeline is playing out with Google's antitrust case.What to do todayDon't optimize for one agentic browser. Build for web standards: semantic HTML, ARIA labels, structured data, server-side rendering.Build direct audience relationships (email, communities, subscriptions) so you're not dependent on browser intermediaries.Make your site worth visiting, not just worth scraping. Offer value an AI agent can't replicate.Treat accessibility as an agent strategy. Screen reader compatibility = AI agent compatibility.Test your site with an agentic browser to see what works and what breaks.Read the full agentic browser landscape breakdown: nohackspod.com/blog/agentic-browser-landscape-2026Chapters00:00 - Introduction01:34 - The First Browser War09:15 - The Agentic Browser Explosion12:48 - Why Is This Happening Now?16:15 - Where the 2026 Version Gets Worse21:27 - What This Means for Your Website23:14 - What to Do About It26:49 - ClosingConnectWebsite: https://nohackspod.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/slobodanmanic/Newsletter: https://nohackspod.com/subscribeNo Hacks is a podcast about web performance, technical SEO, and the agentic web.

Rav Hirsch Mishpatim - How They Treat the Waiter On a Date: The Moral Baseline That Reveals Who You Really Are

Coaching is the real work of leadership once you start managing other people. In modern workplaces—especially post-pandemic and in hybrid teams—your job isn't just delivering results; it's building capability so results keep happening even when you're not in the room. This guide breaks down a Seven Step Coaching Process leaders can use to develop team members through everyday, on-the-job coaching, not just HR training programs. It's designed for busy managers in SMEs, multinationals, and fast-moving teams where skills, tools, and customer expectations change constantly. How do leaders identify coaching opportunities in day-to-day work? Coaching opportunities show up through observation, self-awareness, external feedback, changing business needs, and sudden situations. Leaders who wait for formal training cycles miss the daily moments where performance can lift quickly with small, targeted coaching. In practice, there are five classic triggers. First, you notice a gap—someone lacks a skill, hasn't been trained, or is moved into a new task with no reps. Second, the staff member flags it themselves, either because they're stuck or ambitious and want growth. Third, customers, vendors, or outsiders complain or comment, which is often the clearest real-world signal that training hasn't landed. Fourth, the business changes—new technology replaces old ways (think "Telex to email" as the metaphor), so yesterday's competencies become irrelevant. Fifth, situations force change, like promotions, role shifts, or remote work onboarding. Do now: Create a weekly "coaching log" with 5 headings (Boss, Self, Customer, Change, Situation) and write one example under each. What's a real example of a "customer complaint" coaching trigger? Customer feedback often reveals tiny skill gaps that quietly damage trust—especially in service culture. Leaders should treat complaints as coaching gold, not just quality problems. A simple example is telephone etiquette in corporate settings. In Japan, one common frustration is when staff answer the phone by stating only the company name, without their own name—creating awkwardness for the caller if they ask for someone and discover the person answering is that individual. The fix is not expensive training or a big workshop; it's a repeatable micro-skill: answer with "Company name + your name." This is the essence of practical coaching—catch a pattern, define the desired behaviour, practise it, and reinforce it until it becomes normal. This same principle applies across markets. In the US or Australia, the equivalent might be email tone, response time, or how staff handle returns. In B2B environments, it might be meeting preparation or follow-up discipline. Do now: Pick one customer friction point from the last 30 days and turn it into a 2-minute coaching drill. What should the "desired outcome" of coaching look like? Coaching only works when both people can clearly picture success and agree it matters. If the outcome is fuzzy—or owned only by the boss—it becomes compliance, not growth. A strong coaching outcome is behavioural and observable: "They can do X task independently, to Y standard, in Z timeframe." That clarity matters even more in remote or hybrid work, where leaders can't rely on informal monitoring. The outcome should also be jointly owned: the team member needs to want it, not just tolerate it. That means the leader's role is to define what good looks like, show why it matters (customer impact, team efficiency, career growth), and confirm the person buys in. In startups, outcomes often focus on speed and adaptability. In large organisations, they may be tied to compliance, brand, or consistency. Either way, "success" must be visible, measurable, and shared. Do now: Ask: "What would 'great' look like here in two weeks?" Write the answer as one sentence you both agree on. How do you establish the right attitudes for effective coaching? Coaching accelerates when the leader understands the person's motivations and role fit. Without that, even good advice lands badly—or gets ignored. Attitude isn't about pep talks; it's about context. How well you know your team determines how quickly you can judge whether you have the right people in the right roles—"the right bus and the right seats." Some people are motivated by mastery, others by recognition, autonomy, stability, or future promotion. A leader who understands this can tailor coaching so it feels supportive rather than corrective. This is especially important across cultures. In Japan, people may avoid direct self-promotion, so ambition can be hidden. In Australia or the US, staff may be more comfortable stating career goals openly. In both cases, leaders need genuine curiosity: "What do you want to get better at, and why?" Do now: In your next 1:1, ask one question: "What part of your job gives you energy, and what drains it?" Use the answer to guide coaching. What resources do managers need to provide for coaching to work? The scarcest and most valuable resource in coaching is the leader's time. If you demand performance but deny support, you're setting people up to fail. Resources can include money, equipment, training materials, access to internal experts, or backing from senior management—but the key constraint is often attention. Coaching isn't a side hobby; it's core leadership work. Many managers confuse "time efficiency" with effectiveness, rushing tasks while leaving capability undeveloped. The result is predictable: repeated mistakes, avoidable escalations, and a team that can't operate independently. In a post-pandemic world, time investment is even more critical for onboarding. New hires who joined after early 2020 often missed informal learning because there was nobody physically nearby to ask. Do now: Block 30 minutes per week for coaching, not status updates. Treat it like a leadership KPI, not optional admin. Why is coaching "job number one" for the boss? When leaders get coaching wrong, performance problems multiply—and the team becomes dependent, fragile, and reactive. When leaders coach well, talent compounds and the organisation scales. Coaching sits upstream of almost everything that matters: customer satisfaction, productivity, retention, and succession. HR can organise training, but only the direct manager can reinforce it in daily work—correcting small behaviours before they become big issues, and building confidence through repetition. The best leaders don't just solve problems; they develop problem-solvers. This is true whether you're leading a sales team, operations team, or a professional services unit. In high-change environments—new tech, new processes, new market expectations—coaching is how teams keep up without burning out. It's also how you build a leadership bench instead of becoming the bottleneck. Do now: Identify one person you're currently "rescuing" too often. Coach them on the skill that removes the dependency. Conclusion: The Coaching Process as a leadership operating system The Seven Step Coaching Process is a practical way to lead: spot opportunities, define success, align attitudes, and provide resources—starting with your time. The goal isn't to create perfect employees; it's to build capability so people can perform confidently as work evolves. If you treat coaching as a daily discipline, you'll scale your team's competence, reduce recurring issues, and strengthen results across customers, culture, and performance.

The Five-Phase Sales Solution Cadence: Facts, Benefits, Applications, Evidence, Trial Close When you've done proper discovery—asked loads of questions about where the buyer is now and where they want to be—you earn the right to propose a solution. But here's the kicker: sometimes the right move is to walk away. If you force a partial or wrong-fit solution, you might "grab the dough" short-term, but you'll torch trust and reputation—the two assets that don't come back easily.  Below is a search-friendly, buyer-proof cadence you can run in any market—**Japan vs **United States, SME vs enterprise, B2B services vs SaaS—especially post-pandemic when procurement teams want clarity, proof, and outcomes, not fluffy feature parades. How do you know if your solution genuinely fits the buyer (and when should you walk away)? You know it fits when you can map your solution to their stated outcomes—and prove it—without twisting the facts. If the buyer needs an outcome you can't deliver, the ethical (and commercially smart) play is: "We can't help you with that." In 2024–2026, buyers are savvier and more risk-aware. They'll check reviews, ask peers, and sanity-test claims through AI search tools and internal stakeholder scrutiny. In high-trust cultures (including Japan) and high-compliance industries (finance, health, critical infrastructure), a wrong-fit sale becomes a reputational boomerang. The deal closes once; the story travels forever. Do now: Write a one-page "fit test": buyer outcomes → your capability → evidence. If any outcome can't be supported, qualify out fast.  What does "facts" mean in a modern B2B sales conversation? Facts are the provable mechanics—features, specs, process steps, constraints—and the proof that they work. Facts aren't the goal; they're the credibility scaffolding. Salespeople often drown here: endless micro-detail, endless Q&A, endless spreadsheets. Yes, analytical buyers (engineering-led firms, CFO-led committees) will pull you into the weeds—but remember: they aren't buying the process. They're buying the outcome from the process. Bring facts that de-risk the decision: implementation timelines, security posture (SOC 2/ISO), uptime/SLA history, integration limits, and measurable performance benchmarks. Then move on before you get stuck. Do now: Prepare a "facts pack" with 5–7 proof points (not 57 features). Use it to earn trust, then pivot to outcomes.  How do you turn features into benefits buyers will actually pay for? Benefits are the "so what"—the measurable results the buyer gets because the feature exists. If you can't link a feature to an outcome, it's just trivia. A weight, colour, dimension, workflow, dashboard, or AI model is not valuable by itself. It becomes valuable when it improves a KPI: reduced cycle time, fewer defects, higher conversion, lower churn, faster onboarding, better safety, tighter compliance. This is where classic sales thinking still holds up—think **SPIN Selling and the buyer's implied needs: pain, impact, and value. In a tight 2025 budget environment, "nice-to-have" benefits die quickly; "must-have" outcomes survive. Do now: For every top feature, write one sentence: "This enables ___, which improves ___ by ___ within ___ days." If you can't fill the blanks, drop the feature from your pitch.  What is the "application of benefits" and how do you make it real inside their business? Application is where benefits turn into daily operational reality—what changes in workflow, decisions, and results.This is the "rubber meets the road" layer. Don't just say "we improve productivity." Show where it lands: which meetings get shorter, which approvals disappear, which roles stop firefighting, which customers get served faster, which errors are prevented, and what leaders see weekly on dashboards. Compare contexts: a startup may care about speed and cash runway; a multinational may care about governance, change management, and multi-region rollouts. A consumer business might chase conversion and NPS; a B2B industrial firm might chase downtime reduction and safety incidents. Do now: Build a simple "Before → After" map for their week: processes eliminated, expanded, improved—and who owns each change.  What counts as credible evidence (and what "proof" actually convinces buyers)? Credible evidence is specific, comparable, and close to the buyer's reality—same industry, similar scale, similar constraints. "Trust me" is not evidence. Bring proof that survives scrutiny: reference customers, quantified case studies, independent reviews, pilot results, and implementation artefacts (plans, timelines, adoption metrics). The closer the comparison company is to the buyer, the more persuasive it becomes. This is also where storytelling matters: not hype—narrative. Who was involved? What went wrong? What changed? What were the numbers before and after? Analysts like **Gartner or **Forrester can help with category credibility, but a near-peer success story usually seals confidence. Do now: Collect 3 "mirror case studies" (similar buyer profiles) and write them as short stories: problem → actions → results → lessons.  How do you do a trial close without sounding pushy or sleazy? A trial close is a simple comprehension-and-comfort check that invites objections early—before you ask for the order. Done right, it's calm, not clingy. After you've walked through facts → benefits → application → evidence, ask: "How does that sound so far?" Then shut up. Silence is a tool. If they raise objections, good—interest is alive, and you can add pinpoint proof. If they say nothing (or go vague), start worrying: they may have already mentally deleted you as an option. This is the moment to clarify, re-anchor to outcomes, and confirm next steps in the sales cycle. Do now: Use one trial close per phase. Treat objections as data, not drama, and log them into your CRM as themes to address.  Conclusion: the cadence that keeps you credible and gets you paid This five-phase cadence works because it respects how adults buy: they need proof, relevance, and a clear path from "today" to "better." Keep the sequence tight—facts, then benefits, then application, then evidence, then a trial close—and you'll avoid the two killers of modern selling: feature-dumps and wishful thinking.  Author credentials Dr. Greg Story, Ph.D. in Japanese Decision-Making, is President of Dale Carnegie Tokyo Training and Adjunct Professor at Griffith University.

Episode 131: This week, Kyle Van Pelt talks with Joe Moss, Founder at AdvisorTechBook. With a background in real estate and data analysis, Joe has become a go-to resource for financial advisors looking to optimize their tech stacks.  Joe talks with Kyle about the rapidly evolving world of advisor technology, AI, and personal branding in wealth management. He discusses how financial advisors can simplify their technology, leverage AI effectively, build meaningful personal brands, attract top talent, and grow organically in an industry where relationships matter most. In this episode: (00:00) - Intro (01:26) – Joe's money moment (02:34) – Joe's winding path to fintech (05:47) – How people should evaluate AI in the future (10:16) – The Zero Basis Points theory (12:29) – The importance of data lakes in connecting AI capabilities (18:49) – Why advisors need to tell their own stories (20:41) – Strategies for attracting and retaining the best next-gen advisors (27:35) – The difference between an audience and a community (28:22) – Joe's thoughts about the future of the financial services industry (32:27) – Joe's Milemarker Minute Key Takeaways Adapt to change, but focus on the fundamentals. The AI and advisor technology landscapes are rapidly evolving. Focus on core principles like accurate data, client relationships, and streamlined workflows. Organic growth starts with personal branding. Share insights, solve problems, and build a reputation as a thought leader. Authentic content attracts clients and top talent. Attract and retain talent by investing in people. Treat your team well, pay them fairly, delegate effectively, and provide a clear mission. The best talent often excels at critical thinking, not just technology. AI is commoditizing technical financial knowledge. Advisors must shift their value proposition from "what I know" to "how I manage the relationship" to stay relevant. Quotes "The entire value of this industry's proposition is going straight to the human relationship. And AI is going to make humans heroes in everything." ~ Joe Moss "The answer to organic growth is organic human content—basically building a personal brand." ~ Joe Moss "Living an amazing life is a journey of self-transformation. If you want to make a lot more money, you need to dump resources into your number one advisor tech, which is your brain." ~ Joe Moss Links  Joe Moss on LinkedIn AdvisorTechBook Dave Ramsey Parker Ence Jump AI Redtail Technology Wealthbox Zocks Mark Gilbert Zero Basis Points  - Podcast Michael Kitces Morgan Housel Samantha Russell Joshua Brown Michael Batnick Peter Mallouk Joe Duran United Capital Financial Advisors Future Proof Citywide Goldman Sachs Root Financial Altruist Alex Hormozi $100M Money Models Ian Karnell VastAssembly The Alchemist Justin Castelli Santiago Connect with our hosts Milemarker.co Kyle on LinkedIn Jud on LinkedIn Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify YouTube Produce game-changing content with Turncast Turncast helps your company grow by producing top-quality content and fostering transformative conversations.

Episode Highlights With KatieGrounding basics: the Earth is an electron reservoir; skin contact equalizes your body's electrical potential and lowers body voltage.Native vs non-native EMFs: native = Schumann/geomagnetic background; non-native = wiring and wireless sources. Aim to increase exposure to native signals (nature time) and reduce unnecessary non-native exposure, especially during sleep.Physiological effects discussed in studies: improved blood rheology (less RBC clumping), shifts in cortisol rhythm and HRV, reductions in pain and sleep disturbances.Why modern life disrupts it: rubber soles, synthetic floors, and high-rise livingBest outdoor practices: go barefoot on grass/soil/sand (great at sunrise!), beach walks, gardening, sitting on stone/earth, post-flight grounding, leather-soled shoes as a compromise.Moist natural surfaces conduct best.Indoor options and cautions when it comes to grounding mats and sheets.Dirty electricity concern: high-frequency transients on wiring or in soil can ride the ground; test and remediate electrical issues before relying on indoor grounding.Safety notes with thunderstorms or near energized equipment, with implanted electronics or complex medical devices.Start with 20–30 minutes daily outdoors; stack with circadian light (morning sun), movement on natural surfaces, and evening wind-down outsideUse an outlet tester and a body-voltage meter if experimenting indoors.Treat grounding as a low-risk, nature-based habit that pairs well with light, movement, hydration, and mineral balance; consider indoor gadgets optional and proceed only after due diligence.Resources Mentioned EMF canopyGroundies earthing shoesJustine Stenger's Mitochondrial Restoration ProgramDr. Courtney Hunt on Instagram

Today I sit down with investigative reporter Benjamin Ryan, who was the only journalist present for the entirety of the historic Variant v. Einhorn trial — the first detransition malpractice lawsuit in the world to reach a jury verdict. Ben has been covering pediatric gender medicine for three years for outlets including the New York Times, NBC News, the New York Sun, and the Free Press, and he brings an extraordinary level of detail to this conversation.We dive into the case of Fox Variant, a young woman diagnosed with autism who underwent a double mastectomy at age 16 after her psychologist, Kenneth Einhorn, wrote a referral letter riddled with errors and omissions — including listing body dysmorphic disorder instead of gender dysphoria. We discuss how the jury found Einhorn 70% responsible and plastic surgeon Dr. Chin 30% responsible for a $2 million award, the devastating testimony from Fox's mother about being coerced with suicide threats, and the critical communication failures between the psychologist and surgeon. We also explore what this verdict means for the nearly 30 other detransition lawsuits currently pending, why WPATH's standards of care were largely sidelined in the trial, and the broader implications for the field of pediatric gender medicine. I also share my own perspective as a therapist who worked for a group practice later acquired by the same company that employed Einhorn.Benjamin Ryan is an independent reporter who has been covering pediatric gender medicine for the past three years, including on his Substack: benryan.substack.com. He writes for publications such as The New York Times, NBC News and The New York Sun and covered the detransitioner trial for The Free Press.

Cloud bills are climbing, AI pipelines are exploding, and storage is quietly becoming the bottleneck nobody wants to own. Ugur Tigli, CTO at MinIO, breaks down what actually changes when AI workloads hit your infrastructure, and how teams can keep performance high without letting costs spiral. In this conversation, we get practical about object storage, S3 as the modern standard, what open source really means for security and speed, and why “cloud” is more of an operating model than a place. Key takeaways• AI multiplies data, not just compute, training and inference create more checkpoints, more versions, more storage pressure • Object storage and S3 are simplifying the persistence layer, even as the layers above it get more complex • Open source can improve security feedback loops because the community surfaces regressions fast, the real risk is running unsupported, outdated versions • Public cloud costs are often less about storage and more about variable charges like egress, many teams move data on prem to regain predictability • The bar for infrastructure teams is rising, Kubernetes, modern storage, and AI workflow literacy are becoming table stakes Timestamped highlights00:00 Why cloud and AI workloads force a fresh look at storage, operating models, and cost control 00:00 What MinIO is, and why high performance object storage sits at the center of modern data platforms 01:23 Why MinIO chose open source, and how they balance freedom with commercial reality 04:08 Open source and security, why faster feedback beats the closed source perception, plus the real risk factor 09:44 Cloud cost realities, egress, replication, and why “fixed costs” drive many teams back inside their own walls 15:04 The persistence layer is getting simpler, S3 becomes the standard, while the upper stack gets messier 18:00 Skills gap, why teams need DevOps plus AIOps thinking to run modern storage at scale 20:22 What happens to AI costs next, competition, software ecosystem maturity, and why data growth still wins A line worth keeping“Cloud is not a destination for us, it's more of an operating model.” Pro tips for builders and tech leaders• If your AI initiative is still a pilot, track egress and data movement early, that is where “surprise” costs tend to show up • Standardize around containerized deployment where possible, it reduces the gap between public and private environments, but plan for integration friction like identity and key management • Treat storage as a performance system, not a procurement line item, the right persistence layer can unblock training, inference, and downstream pipelines What's next:If you're building with AI, running data platforms, or trying to get your cloud costs under control, follow the show and subscribe so you do not miss upcoming episodes.

In this week's episode of High on Home Grown, we're covering major busts, powerful medical stories, and some interesting shifts in policy and public opinion: Macky starts with a huge find from the BBC, where police discovered a £7.1 million cannabis operation inside a derelict high school. It's another example of the scale some underground grows are reaching, and the strange locations they're turning up in. He also shares the touching story of a young girl whose family says medical cannabis has transformed her life, highlighting once again the real human impact behind the ongoing fight for better access. John brings political developments from the US, where Wisconsin senators have approved a Republican-led medical marijuana bill, even as Democrats continue pushing for broader recreational legalization. It's a clear sign of how the conversation is evolving, even in more conservative states. We also look at an opinion piece explaining why many law enforcement officers are supporting Trump's rescheduling move, a shift that shows attitudes are changing even within traditional enforcement circles. And Smee rounds things off with new research showing daily opioid use dropped by 9 to 11 percentage points following recreational legalization, adding to the growing evidence that legal access may play a role in reducing reliance on more dangerous substances. Another packed episode full of real-world impact, changing attitudes, and stories that show how fast the landscape continues to shift.

You've heard breastfeeding protects against allergies and asthma. But have you ever wondered what's actually happening inside your baby's body to make that possible?It's one of those things people say all the time, but rarely explain. And when you're in the thick of feeding, you deserve more than soundbites.In this episode, Dr Renee White sits down with Dr Toby Mansell, a researcher from the Murdoch Children's Research Institute here in Australia. His team studied nearly 900 babies from pregnancy through childhood, and what they found is genuinely fascinating.Together they talk about what happens at the molecular level when babies breastfeed, why certain fats in breast milk seem to reduce inflammation, and what this might mean for immune health down the track.It's science, yes. But it's also context. And hopefully, it helps things make a bit more sense.You'll hear about:How the Barwon Infant Study tracked 900 babies to understand what influences health from early lifePlasmalogens, lipids abundant in breast milk but absent in formula, and why they reduce inflammationWhat chronic inflammation in infancy means for allergies, asthma, and metabolic health laterHow breastfeeding changes infant metabolism at the cellular levelWhat this could mean for formula composition and supplements for all babiesWhether you're breastfeeding, formula feeding, or somewhere in between, this episode helps you understand what's happening biologically. It's research-based clarity without pressure or judgment.Resources & Links:

In this episode, we break down why lactulose and rifaximin work specifically for HE: lactulose acidifies the colon to “trap” ammonia as ammonium (NH4⁺) and rapidly clears nitrogen substrates via catharsis, while rifaximin reshapes the gut microbiome and dampens gut-derived inflammatory signaling - benefits that don't always correlate with serum ammonia levels. We also cover why other antibiotics fell out of favor, where polyethylene glycol fits, and how to think mechanistically about the best risk–reward strategy for preventing and treating HE.Subscribe to the Point of Care Medicine Substack

It's been said that you spend the first forty years of your life looking forward, and the last forty looking back—from death toward your life. But what if you never get the chance to look forward? Imagine being young and told you may only have a year to live. All around you, you see people living the life you've been cheated out of. How would that feel? How could you find hope in that? These are the feelings and questions that children with cancer—and those who love and support them—face every day. Jed Doherty sat down with two powerful experts to discuss exactly that on a new episode of his long-running podcast, Reading With Your Kids. One was a doctor. The other was an equally powerful expert: a child in remission from brain cancer. Dr. Katerina Levi is a pediatric mental health clinician who recently completed a residency at Broward Hospital in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. While there, she helped treat children battling cancer and often spoke with them in a garden on the hospital grounds. This experience, along with her dissertation research on bibliotherapy—therapy conducted through books—prompted her to write The Healing Garden. The book follows Alex, a boy diagnosed with cancer. Over the course of the story, Alex meets a new friend: a talking bear. The bear provides actionable, evidence-based psychological advice in language children can understand. At the back of the book is a guide for parents and caregivers to help support children through this trying time. But why books? Why not just therapy sessions, or one person talking to another, or direct instruction? Katrina offers an answer: "Children's storybooks provide a non-confrontational way to discuss difficult topics." She adds that "children can often identify with characters in books," giving young readers a safe pathway to explore emotions such as frustration, anger, fear, and sadness—feelings that children with cancer experience far too often. The other guest on this episode is no stranger to the power of art. Cassidy Stocker, daughter of previous Reading With Your Kids guest and author Shannon Stocker, is a child in remission from brain cancer. Her cancer is currently gone, though recurrence is always a frightening possibility. Cassidy is a painter who sells her landscapes, and the proceeds go toward buying gifts for other children with cancer undergoing chemotherapy. When Jed asks how and why she came up with this idea, Cassidy says she "felt less alone, more happy." Though Cassidy was only in eighth grade at the time of the interview, she speaks with clarity and wisdom far beyond her years. She shares how undergoing chemotherapy felt "completely unfair," and how it "feels like you're alone in your sickness," even as nurses, doctors, and family members—who are healthy—care for you. Yet Cassidy has not allowed her experience to harden her heart. Instead, she encourages other children to be grateful for the life they have and reminds them that "sadness and anger are not a way to live." She understands that death can come suddenly, and she chooses to live with purpose, gratitude, and generosity. Cassidy has formalized her gift-giving into the nonprofit charity Gifts For Gold. You can learn more and lend your support at giftsforgold.org. The episode is a moving reminder that stories can heal, and that children—when given space to speak—often become our greatest teachers. These stories remind us that children, though younger, are as capable as adults of enormous feats of kindness, learning, and mental endurance. Treat a child with respect, and you'll find them growing like a sprout—at once slowly and too quickly to be believed—into something remarkable. Written by Jackson Sotallaro

From the BBC World Service: Little luxuries can become routine during tougher economic times. The newest iteration of the “lipstick effect,” the phenomenon is called "little treat culture" on TikTok, where videos using the hashtag have grown by 75% globally over the past year. This morning, we'll delve into the business model of treat-onomics. But first, TSMC confirms plans to make AI semiconductors in southern Japan, and gig workers in India are planning a nationwide strike.
