You've probably heard the advice: “Just let the other dog tell them off. They'll learn.” It's one of the most common tips dog owners get…and one of the worst. In this episode, we unpack why that approach doesn't work and what's really going on when your dog rushes up to another dog. You'll learn what your dog's behaviour is actually telling you, and why it's not about dominance or being “naughty.” We'll dig into the emotions behind those high-energy greetings and what happens in your dog's brain when things go wrong. Most importantly, we'll talk about how to actually deal with these chaotic situations and how to build the right skills so your dog can thrive around others. This one's a must-listen for anyone who's ever felt embarrassed or frustrated at the park!................Whether your dog is unpredictable with other dogs or predictably bad…Whether it looks like freezing, barking, lunging or running away…Whether you are just starting out on your dog-owning journey or your dog has been labelled as having a “behaviour problem”…… this episode is for you and is going to give you huge insights!Want to join the Help!

In this episode of OnBase, host Paul Gibson sits down with Michelle Wrede to explore how businesses can transform customer reviews into powerful drivers of revenue and trust. Michelle shares her unique career path, why psychology plays such an important role in marketing, and how reviews are often undervalued in B2B.From building credibility to improving internal processes, Michelle outlines practical strategies for embedding reviews into sales and marketing funnels. She emphasizes the importance of timing, emotional vs. functional insights, and how reviews can help reduce internal resistance while creating measurable outcomes in areas like conversion optimization, SEO, and customer retention.The conversation also covers the future of AI in review management, the growing importance of transparency, and why testing and iteration are key for success.Key TakeawaysAuthenticity Matters: Reviews carry an emotional weight and authenticity that case studies often lack—critical in building B2B trust.Leverage Across the Funnel: Reviews aren't just top-of-funnel proof points—they can drive retargeting campaigns, emails, and late-stage deal confidence.Balance Emotion and Function: Emotional stories resonate, but functional details (like logistics or support feedback) drive practical decision-making.Fix Before You Showcase: Automate collection early, but ensure service or logistical issues are addressed before promoting review scores.Reviews as a Growth Lever: Beyond marketing, reviews can highlight operational gaps and inspire process improvements that directly impact revenue.AI & Transparency: The future of review-driven insights will depend on high-quality, verifiable data that avoids the pitfalls of opaque AI signals.Quotes“From psychology we know reviews work. The key is testing how and where they have the best impact for your business.”Tech recommendationsTrustpilot (for automated review collection and integration)Resource recommendationsGrowth Tribe – Learning hub for growth marketing and experimentationShout-OutsAnna Bertoldini – Senior Social Media Brand Manager, NielsenIQJuanita Solano Espinosa – Senior Marketing Manager Italy, TrustpilotAbout the GuestAs Head of Marketing for Benelux and Sweden at Trustpilot, Michelle works across a wide range of topics within the marketing and e-commerce space.

AI is finding its way into almost every corner of customer service, but is it really what customers want? According to Kinsta's recent survey, the answer is overwhelmingly no. An incredible 93 percent of respondents said they would rather speak to a human than an AI chatbot when they need support. Nearly half even said they would cancel a service if it relied solely on AI-driven support. In this episode, Roger Williams, Community Manager at Kinsta, breaks down the story behind those numbers and explains why his team continues to invest heavily in human-first support. Kinsta has built its reputation on 24/7 access to real engineers who understand the complexities of WordPress hosting, resulting in a 98 percent customer satisfaction score and consistently high ratings on platforms like G2 and Trustpilot. Roger shares how Kinsta blends human expertise with AI tools in a way that enhances, rather than replaces, the customer experience. He talks about the role empathy plays in building trust, the importance of empowering support staff to own conversations, and why support should be viewed as an opportunity to strengthen relationships rather than just a cost to be reduced. We also discuss the growing perception that AI in support is more about saving money than improving service, how business leaders can avoid falling into that trap, and what the future of open web hosting could look like as AI capabilities mature. Whether you are in tech leadership, run a customer-facing team, or simply value a good support experience, this conversation offers insights that go beyond the AI hype and focus on what truly matters to customers.

AI SEO Checklist: Key Strategies for 2025 and Beyond | Marketing Essentials with Favour Obasi-Ike | Get exclusive SEO newsletters in your inbox.In this podcast Search Engine Optimization (SEO) essential checklist episode, Favour will be sharing insights into its foundational elements and practical application for businesses. He explains how connecting websites to search consoles like Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools is crucial for online visibility. The conversation also emphasizes the importance of sitemaps as the "brain" of a website, detailing how they transmit crucial information to search engines.Key aspects such as keyword research, on-page SEO (including image optimization and meta descriptions), off-page SEO (like Google Business Profile and backlinks), content strategy, and technical SEO (mobile-friendliness, site speed, and HTTPS) are thoroughly discussed to empower listeners with actionable steps for enhancing their digital presence.Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat are the fundamental basics of SEO that every business owner needs to understand?The foundational basics of SEO begin with proper "setup." This means ensuring your website is connected to Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools. These platforms are non-negotiable for online visibility, acting as the internet service providers that make your website findable by search engines. Just as you need internet service to be online, your website needs to be submitted to these tools to appear in search results. Furthermore, after acquiring a domain, it's crucial to select reliable hosting, which impacts your website's performance and scalability. Understanding that your website is an "intellectual property" capable of attracting traffic is key, and this visibility is achieved by making it readable, accessible, clickable, and findable, not just by its name but by the solutions it offers.Why is a sitemap crucial for a website's functionality and discoverability?A sitemap serves as the "brain" of your website. Without it, your website, despite looking good, lacks the functionality to transmit signals effectively to search engines. The sitemap contains links to all your website's pages, including product links, category links, blog posts, and core pages like the homepage and contact page. When you create and submit a sitemap, you are essentially providing search engines (like Google, Bing, Siri, Alexa, and even AI platforms like ChatGPT) with a structured map of your content. This allows them to index your pages efficiently, making your content discoverable when users search for relevant keywords or phrases. Updating your sitemap with fresh content ensures continuous visibility and relevance in search results.How does effective copywriting and content formatting contribute to SEO and user engagement?Effective copywriting and content formatting are vital for both SEO and retaining user attention. Key principles include:Conciseness: Sentences should ideally be 10 words or less, and paragraphs no more than three to five sentences, making content easy to skim and digest.Action-Oriented Language: Start sentences with verbs or adverbs to encourage engagement.Headings and Subheadings (H1, H2, H3 tags): Use these to break up text, provide clear structure, and help search engine crawlers understand the content's hierarchy. Google's web crawlers read and index these tags, which can improve your visibility in "people also search" sections.Impact Statements: Include a clear thesis upfront and a strong closing statement.White Space and Bullet Points: Utilize these to enhance readability and prevent overwhelming blocks of text.Clarity and Specificity: Your content should be clear, legible (consider font size for various screens), and directly address specific user queries. This ensures that users find value and direction, leading to higher engagement and conversion rates.Ultimately, good copy stops the "scroll" and encourages visitors to stay longer, signaling relevance to search engines and increasing the chances of conversion.How does on-page SEO optimization, particularly image and link optimization, improve website performance?On-page SEO involves optimizing individual web pages to rank higher and earn more relevant traffic in search engines. Key aspects include:Image Optimization: This goes beyond just changing file formats. It involves compressing images (e.g., using compressor.io) to reduce file size without losing quality. Large image files slow down website loading speeds, leading to higher "bounce rates." Renaming image files with relevant keywords also signals content to search engines.Internal Links: Linking to other relevant pages within your website improves user navigation and helps search engines understand the structure and depth of your content.External Links: While some may fear sending users away, strategically linking to credible external sources (like social media profiles, features on other sites, or relevant industry resources) can enhance your website's authority and provide additional value to users.Meta Descriptions and Title Tags: These provide a brief summary of your page's content, influencing click-through rates from search results. A compelling meta description, similar to an email's preview text, encourages users to click.Optimizing these elements ensures a faster, more engaging user experience, which is positively rewarded by search engine algorithms.Why is off-page SEO important, and what are some key strategies?Off-page SEO refers to actions taken outside of your website to improve its search engine ranking. The primary goal is to build your website's authority and credibility through external signals. Key strategies include:Google Business Profile: Essential for local businesses, this profile allows you to list your services, receive reviews, and appear in local searches. Positive reviews, especially those containing relevant keywords like "best pizza" or "amazing service," act as strong validation signals.Backlinks: Obtaining links from high-domain-authority websites (e.g., Medium.com, LinkedIn, Blogger.com, Hubpages.com) significantly boosts your site's credibility and search ranking. These are known as "parasite SEO" techniques. Writing articles on these platforms and embedding links back to your site drives referral traffic and builds authority.Online Reviews: Encouraging reviews on platforms like Trustpilot or the Better Business Bureau (BBB) helps build trust and signals to search engines that your business is legitimate and valued by customers.These off-page efforts extend your online presence beyond your website, validating your business as a trusted source of information and services.How does content SEO contribute to long-term website success, and what are common pitfalls to avoid?Content SEO focuses on creating high-quality, relevant, and engaging content that attracts and retains an audience. Key elements include:Table of Contents: For longer articles, a table of contents enhances user experience and helps search engines understand the content structure.Updating Old Content: Regularly refreshing existing articles ensures they remain current and relevant, signaling to search engines that your content is up-to-date and valuable. This also helps you "stay credible" in the ever-evolving digital landscape.Engaging Intros and Formatting: Compelling introductions grab attention, and using bold sentences, headings, and subheadings (H1, H2, H3 tags) improves readability.Conversational Tone: Engaging with your audience "as a conversation" rather than talking "at them" builds connection and trust.A common pitfall is producing content without a clear understanding of what your audience needs or wants. By actively listening to your community (e.g., through polls) and delivering content that addresses their specific "queries" and "solutions," you build loyalty and ensure your efforts are not wasted.How has the rise of AI impacted SEO, and what technical SEO elements are now more critical than ever?The rise of AI has transformed SEO, making it more critical than ever. AI platforms like ChatGPT, Siri, and Alexa increasingly pull information from structured data on websites to answer user queries. This means:Structured Data (Schema Markup): Implementing schema markup for events, products, recipes, FAQs, and other content types helps AI agents understand your content's context, making it more likely to be featured in AI-powered search results.Authority and Credibility: AI prioritizes information from authoritative sources. Therefore, having a strong online presence with a well-structured and regularly updated website is paramount for being referenced by AI agents.Mobile-Friendliness and Site Speed: These remain crucial. Websites must load quickly on all devices, as slow loading times lead to high bounce rates, negatively impacting SEO.HTTPS Protocol: Ensuring your website uses HTTPS (secure) instead of HTTP is a fundamental SEO requirement. Insecure sites are penalized in search rankings.Broken Link Management: Regularly checking and fixing broken links (e.g., using tools like Siteliner.com) maintains a healthy website and prevents negative user experiences.SEO-Friendly URLs: URLs should be clear, relevant, and incorporate keywords to enhance discoverability.In essence, SEO and AI are "Siamese twins" in the digital world. SEO is evolving into "thought leadership," where a mix of audio, video, and text content (like podcasts and YouTube channels connected to a website) with structured data will be key to success in the AI-driven future. The focus is shifting from merely "ranking" to making an "impact" by reaching the right people and establishing authority in your niche.Digital Marketing SEO Resources:>> ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our exclusive SEO Marketing community⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠>> ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SEO Optimization Blogs⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠>> ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book Complimentary SEO Discovery Call⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠>> ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to We Don't PLAY Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Brands We Love and Support⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Loving Me Beauty | Buy Vegan-based Luxury Products⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Unlock your future in real estate—get certified in Ghana today!⁠See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What's the Fastest Way to Get Webpages Indexed (Technical SEO) by Search Engines? with SEO Expert, ⁠Favour Obasi-ike, MBA, MS⁠⁠⁠ | Get exclusive SEO newsletters in your inbox.This episode focuses on search engine optimization (SEO) and the fastest ways to get indexed by search engines, extending beyond just Google to include other platforms and AI-powered large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT emphasizing that building trust with search engine algorithms is paramount, achieved through consistent content creation, linking strategies (backlinks), and connecting websites via tools like Google Search Console. Favour highlights the importance of updating existing content and addressing user queries to improve visibility across various search and AI platforms, ultimately advocating for a strategic and patient approach to online presence rather than solely focusing on a single ranking metric.AD BREAK: Get 20% off your first booking & be the first to know about our new arrivals, spa deals, and events with Somatic MassageFrequently Asked Questions about Search Engine Indexing and Online PresenceWhat is the fastest way to get indexed by search engines?The fastest way to get indexed by search engines is by building trust and establishing connections. This means having conversations around the questions people are asking and providing answers in the form of website links. These links should then be shared on other reputable websites to create backlinks, which signal to search engines that your website has authority. It's not just about creating a lot of content, but about creating relevant, high-quality content that answers user queries and is linked to by trusted sources.Why isn't my website ranking on search engines?There are several reasons why your website might not be ranking. Common issues include not having your website manually indexed or automatically discovered by search engines, or not being connected to Google Search Console. Additionally, your content might not be seen if it's not frequently updated, as AI servers and search engines prioritize recently modified content. A lack of engagement and underutilization of your website compared to time spent on social media can also hinder its visibility. Essentially, if search engines aren't "seeing" your content, they can't recommend it.How long does it take for SEO efforts to show results?Ranking SEO web pages on Google and other search engines takes time and consistency. While immediate indexing can occur within hours or days for consistent posters, significant milestones, such as receiving your first 10 clicks, can take around six months, even with hundreds of articles. The key is consistent effort, building trust with algorithms, and maintaining an active online presence. The compound effect of consistent content creation can lead to substantial impressions over time.How does trust factor into search engine ranking?Trust is paramount for search engine ranking. Just as in human relationships, search engines, particularly Google, rely on trust to refer content. This trust is established when other third-party websites, which Google already trusts, link to your website, thereby vouching for your site's authority. These "off-page SEO referring domains" (like links on Reddit, Trustpilot, LinkedIn, Pinterest) may have varying impact, but they contribute to your credibility and signal to search engines that your content is valuable and reliable.Is traditional SEO still relevant with the rise of AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT?Yes, traditional SEO is still very relevant and, in fact, synergistic with AI and LLMs. While AI provides generative answers, it often sources its information from traditional search engines like Google. Therefore, optimizing your content for Google through good SEO practices (like answering frequently asked questions, using appropriate keywords, and having a well-structured site map) directly contributes to your brand being cited and mentioned in AI-generated responses. AI and SEO are not competing but are interdependent, with AI leveraging the foundation built by strong SEO.How can I optimize my content for AI search engines?To optimize for AI search engines, focus on providing succinct, evidence-based answers to specific, question-based headings, similar to "People Also Ask" sections on Google. Ensure your content is frequently updated ("last modified" date is recent) as AI prioritizes fresh information. AI servers are looking for up-to-date, relevant context. By consistently creating and updating content that answers user queries and by connecting your website to search engines via tools like Google Search Console, you increase the likelihood of being sourced and mentioned by AI.What is the significance of a "sitemap" and "DNS" in getting indexed?A sitemap acts as a map of your website, providing search engines with a structured list of all your pages, products, and blogs. Submitting an updated sitemap is crucial for search engines to crawl and understand your site's content. DNS (Domain Name Server) is like your unique digital DNA for your website, confirming your ownership of the domain. Connecting your DNS record with a unique identification number (like a TXT record from Google Search Console) gives search engines access to your site's architecture, allowing them to effectively read and index your content.What is the difference between manual and auto-indexing, and how do they impact visibility?Manual indexing involves actively submitting your website or specific pages to search engines (e.g., through Google Search Console) to ensure they are discovered. Auto-indexing refers to the automatic discovery and crawling of your site by search engines over time due to consistent activity and established trust. While manual indexing provides an initial push, consistent content creation and updates increase your "crawl budget," leading to higher priority and more frequent auto-indexing. Both are important; consistent manual effort eventually leads to more efficient auto-indexing and better long-term visibility.Digital Marketing Resources:>> ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our exclusive SEO Marketing community⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠>> ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SEO Optimization Blogs⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠>> ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book Complimentary SEO Discovery Call⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠>> ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to We Don't PLAY Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Brands We Love and Support⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Loving Me Beauty | Buy Vegan-based Luxury Products⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Unlock your future in real estate—get certified in Ghana today!⁠See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

1st Annual Global Neurodivergent Leaders Summit 2025   This event spotlighted the brilliance of leaders who were once labeled as “disabled” simply because they think differently.   These trailblazers—CEOs, Global speakers, Executive coaches, and Industry Titans from Banking, Real Estate, and the Global Sales and Marketing —have leveraged their ADHD, dyslexia, OCD, and other forms of neurodivergence as superpowers that set them apart. Let's celebrate and elevate those who are changing the world—not in spite of how they think, but because of it.   Raymond Kemp Title: Navigating with a Different Compass (Leading with ADHD in a Neurotypical World) Summary: Leadership isn't reserved for those who think in straight lines. It's about clarity, self-command, and the courage to lead from exactly where you are. I want every leader in the room—whether neurodivergent or not—to walk away knowing that different doesn't mean deficient. When you understand your wiring and Own the Helm, your unique perspective becomes a competitive advantage, not a compromise.   Kathy Marcino Title: Coaching Through Conflict: Learn Strategies for Identifying Conflict Types, Successfully Navigating Workplace Conflict, and Turning It into Positive Growth. Summary: “Disagreement holds the potential for deeper understanding.” When conflict is managed effectively, it can drive innovation and enhance team performance. In this session, Kathy Marcino walks leaders through a structured path for transforming disagreements into shared goals and solutions. Drawing from her extensive coaching experience, she equips participants with a framework to recognize early warning signs, stay grounded in difficult conversations, and co-create lasting resolutions that strengthen team dynamics and performance.   Dan Dominguez Title: Embrace Your Neurodivergent Edge: How Self-Awareness Fuels Resilient Leadership Summary: When I first entered the military, I thought I had to be just like everyone else—follow the rules, fit in, and never let my differences show. But in the heat of tough missions, something clicked: the way my mind worked—my neurodivergent wiring—wasn't a liability. It was my edge. Later, in the world of sales, I saw the same truth again: those traits I once hid—my intense focus, my out-of-the-box thinking, my deep desire to help others—were exactly what helped me forge real connections and close deals. It took self-awareness to stop fighting those parts of myself and start using them as strengths. In this talk, I share that journey, along with a simple framework—Recognize, Accept, Celebrate—to help others stop hiding and start embracing their own neurodivergent edge. My story is a reminder: your greatest leadership potential lies not in fitting in, but in owning and celebrating who you really are. Paul McCarthy Title: Drowning out the voices we need to hear. Why F.I.R.E.D. leaders are your 'hidden gems' Summary: Two Options:Talk Summary 1 To survive disruption, organizations need leaders who possess disruptive leadership capabilities. So they hire them and then they fire them. Publicly, organizations say they want leaders to be innovative thinkers who challenge the status quo. Privately, conventional leadership culture wants nothing of the sort. Leaders with disruptive leadership capabilities often embody the very leadership qualities that organizations so desperately need to navigate disruption and adapt to the “new normal” of constant change, yet these leaders are being marginalized, ostracized, and even exorcised from today's organizations. We will need a different kind of leader for the future and our organizations are unprepared for how to identify, recruit, onboard, and develop this kind of leader. Join us for a radical, refreshing talk with Paul McCarthy, as openly talks about the untalkable, questions the unquestionable, and reframes perceptions about the leadership we desperately need for our times. Paul will share insights from his own experiences as a leader with disruptive leadership capabilities, as well as from his global research and first best-selling book into how individual leaders can be identified, cultivated, and embraced for being disruptive. He will also help us to understand how we can identify disruptive leadership capacity and capability. Talk Summary 2 Paul takes audiences on an exploratory journey to imagine a future where leaders who are currently perceived as 'not fitting in' or as 'bad culture fits' are the ones that organizations will increasingly need to thrive in a constantly changing environment. Yet these leaders are being marginalized, ostracized, and even exorcised from today's organizations. Using his own personal experiences, as well as research, case studies and outputs of interviews, Paul introduces the F.I.R.E.D. Leadership Framework and shows organizations why we need to embrace leaders who think differently. By helping reframe how organizations perceive their 'agitators', Paul shows how to cut through the noise to equip those organizations with the approach needed to create the next generation of leaders our world so desperately needs to successfully navigate ongoing disruption, continue to innovate and deliver transformative outcomes.   Dr. Regeline “Gigi” Sabbat Title: “You Can Lead” ( Regardless if you are Neurodivergent you can lead. - Dr. Gigi Sabbat)   Summary: Absolutely — being neurodivergent does not limit your ability to lead. In fact, many neurodivergent individuals bring exceptional strengths to leadership, such as: • Unique perspectives and creativity • High levels of focus and dedication • Empathy and emotional intelligence • Innovative problem-solving • Resilience and adaptability Leadership isn't about fitting a mold — it's about authenticity, vision, and the courage to empower others. Whether you're neurodivergent or not, your lived experiences can shape you into a powerful, impactful leader. Manny Piñiero Title: “Wired Differently - Neurodivergent Leadership and the Power of Intentional Time" Summary: Wired differently, I thrive in navigating complexity, identifying patterns others may overlook, and creating meaningful systems that honor both people and outcomes. My connection to time is not just about efficiency, it's about intentionality. I believe in making time count by aligning actions with purpose, fostering environments that empower teams to do the work that truly matters, while leading with clarity, empathy, and a deep respect for the diverse ways people think, work, and thrive.   Holly White Title: Radical is Relative: Trusting Your Instincts Before the World Catches Up Summary: Some of the most powerful insights come from minds that don't follow conventional paths. In this talk, I explore how ADHD-related cognition—nonlinear, spontaneous, and deeply intuitive—often leads to ideas that feel radical to others but entirely natural to the thinker. We'll examine why these ideas meet resistance, how traits like discomfort with uncertainty affect their reception, and what it means to trust your instincts in a world that hasn't caught up yet. Whether you're the one generating paradigm-shifting ideas or the one receiving them, “trust the process” becomes more than a mantra—it's a model for creative courage, leadership, and cognitive integrity.   Rosie Ward Title: Ditch the Head Trash! Upgrade Your Faulty Programming So You Can Maximize Your Impact Summary: Being human is messy. We are hardwired to be on high alert for threats, activating our biological hardwired instincts to self-protect and cling tightly to what is familiar. Yet our world demands that we are able to lean into discomfort and disruption. This creates a gap that keeps us stuck more than we realize. This session will normalize our shared human experience for why we get in our own way as a result of our 7 Faulty Programs and give you tangible tools to upgrade your own faulty programming so you can embrace your own sparkle and maximize your shine and impact around you.   David Citron Title: Unleash Your ADHD Superpower in 4 Minutes a Day Summary: In this talk, David Citron, founder of Expressocoaching.com which serves ADHDers who lead organisations in 31 countries worldwide shares the 3 keys to unleashing your ADHD Superpower as a neurodivergent leader.

Why Online Reviews are a Game Changer for Estate Agents. In the fast paced property market, standing out from the competition is crucial. Online reviews could be your secret weapon, yet many estate agents still aren't using them to their full potential. In this episode, marketing expert Reena Patel explains why reviews are so important for building trust and how you can harness their power to grow your business. Reena highlights that just like the thank you cards you'd display in your office years ago, customer reviews should never be ignored or tucked away. Whether it's on Google, Facebook, or Trustpilot, reviews are a direct reflection of your service, and responding to them shows you care about your clients' experiences. Timing is key, though. Ask for feedback when your customers are happiest, and you'll see better results. Reena also shares how you can automate the process, so collecting reviews doesn't eat into your busy day. It's all about making those reviews work for you, creating positive momentum for your business. If you want to build your brand's reputation and attract more clients, this episode is a must listen. Be sure to like, comment, and share your thoughts!

Seoul, Korea episode Listener Story Spotlight A friend and a listener named Lois recently went to Hawaii. She told me she spent much time getting travel insurance for herself and her partner. She had to pay more than she expected as her partner was having a birthday between the day she bought the service and the day of the trip. But she said it was well worth it for her peace of mind. The FAQ for today is: Where to find the best travel insurance for a long trip abroad. 1. Start with a neutral comparison engine; you can see this in the show notes. Why use it first? Where to click Smart filters to enable It lets you price 30-day single-trip plans from dozens of underwriters side-by-side, then click through to the policy certificate in one step. Squaremouth (toggle "Comprehensive" or "Medical-only" to see apples-to-apples pricing). Squaremouth Travel Insurance Medical ≥ $100k, Evac≥ $250k, "Cancel for Any Reason" if you want maximum flexibility. Gives you consumer-written claim reviews plus AM Best financial ratings in the results grid. InsureMyTrip (same data feed as Squaremouth but different sort logic). Add "PIf relevant, existing condition waiver" if rek "Adventure sports" if you'll hike or dive. Pulls quotes from some insurers that don't feed aggregators (e.g., Allianz's higher-tier plans) and lists A.M. Best scores. TravelInsurance.com Use the "24/7 assistance" toggle to see which plans outsource helplines. Skeptical check: All three make a commission, and none of them has every carrier. Run your trip through at least two engines and see if the so-called "cheapest" plan is available.     2. Cross-reference with an independent ranking list U.S. News "Best Travel Insurance Companies 2025" ranks plans by coverage and claim-paying history—not advertising spend. It's a fast way to see which names (Travelex, Allianz, Tin Leg, etc.) consistently show up in the top tier. U.S. News     3. See what other solo women say SoloTravelerWorld.com keeps an updated "Best Travel Insurance for Solo Travelers" guide that spells out what to look for if you're traveling alone—single-supplement benefits, harassment coverage, and 24-hour crisis lines. Solo Traveler AbsolutelyLucy.com lays out five red flags that matter disproportionately to women (e.g., personal-assault medical limits, emergency contraception exclusions). Absolutely Lucy Read these before you fall for glossy Instagram ads that treat "female-friendly" as a slogan.     4. Kick the tires on the insurer's site If a plan looks good in a marketplace, open the policy certificate directly on the carrier's website (World Nomads, SafetyWing, Allianz, IMG, etc.). World Nomads publishes unfiltered claim reviews, which help sniff out chronic payout delays. World Nomads     5. Verify what your government will—or won't—do The U.S. State Department's Insurance Coverage Overseas page makes it crystal-clear that Uncle Sam does not pay your hospital bill or med-evac. It also links to the embassy medical resources for every country, which tells you how far the nearest trauma center is from your trekking trail. Travel.gov     6. Double-check your credit-card benefits Cards in your wallet may cover trip delays, baggage loss, or secondary car rental insurance. The Points Guy keeps a running tally of cards whose built-in coverage is worth something and where the gaps are (e.g., no medical evacuation).     How to use these resources efficiently Quote your exact dates (don't round your trip to a calendar month; excess days add cost). Filter for medical & Evac first; those two benefits can bankrupt you. Ignore marketing buzzwords like "explorer" or "adventure" until you've opened the PDF certificate and searched for the activity you plan to do. Run your final four shortlist past recent claim reviews (Squaremouth, Trustpilot, Reddit r/solotravel) to see if the carrier ghosted people during COVID or the Israel–Gaza cancellations. You can purchase directly from the insurer once you've chosen, which avoids aggregator change fees if you need to modify dates. Stay curious, question every "Top 10" list's methodology, and you'll land the coverage that fits your risk profile—nothing more, nothing less. 60-second confidence challenge 3 things: neighborhood selection, daylight itineraries, scam avoidance Select walkable neighborhoods with public transportation nearby if you don't drive. Read reviews on the AirBNB website before you select. When booking a flight or train, be sure it arrives at daylight, which can differ in winter months. If it comes after dark, it will be more challenging.  To avoid scams, be cautious when choosing passwords, logging out of websites, and making online purchases. These are very typical scams. If you are suspicious, you may be right to avoid that vendor and choose another. Don't look like a target, either.   If you like today's Confidence Challenge, Chapter 1 of my book dives deeper—https://www.5stepstosolotravel.com   See Book A for addressing all of these items. Find it on the website or Amazon. It's a series. Today's destination is:  South Korea  I visited South Korea last month. I landed at Seoul's Inchon Airport. My Korean pronunciation is not good, so please understand that as I describe my trip. I was excited to see the city through the eyes of my friend Chris. We were whisked away to a hotpot dinner, then taken to the French neighborhood in Seoul, where we rested for the night. The next morning, we drove south to visit a town about 2 hours away and stayed in Wolbong-ro (Road), in Seobuk-gu, near SeongJeong.   For example, the Seoul Noryyanglin Fisheries Wholesale Market is five stories tall and open to the public. It's worth seeing if you like seafood, and you can roam the aisles looking for your favorite fish delicacies.   I visited the Vovo Bidet company and met with the director and some of his team. Have you seen the #1 Bidet firm in Korea? They have retail and wholesale offices in the Los Angeles area, too. I liked the tour of the offices here in Seoul. They even have a Bidet to go. Think about that for a minute. That was in Daebang-dong or Seocho4-dong. I visited retail stores such as Zara, one of my favorites for fashion. I had Chinese, Japanese, and Fusion foods. I took subways, busses, taxis, and Ubers plus trains. I went to Gwannghumun Square, the purple Station #9. I went to the shopping mall called The Hyundai. and found stores like Zanmang Loopy, the Hyundai Present, and a great coffee and tea shop. I learned about Hanguel, the Korean alphabet, and saw the statue of Sejong the Great. There was also another statue of Admiral YiSun Sin. The Bukchon Honok Village is a quiet residential area. Jogyasa Temple is where you will see Buddism. Hongdae is the neighborhood for independent artists.   Yonsei University was a place I wanted to visit next time, as I was in the neighborhood and liked it a lot. Gangnam style, well, maybe next time. I tried new foods, such as mung bean pancakes and hotleok desserts. We had a wonderful dinner at Sushi-ya Shabu-ya, about an hour from Seoul, near Korea Nazarene University in Cheonan-si-Buldang1-dong. Recommended: Relax in a tea house. Smart Move and Slip up pairings In Korea, we were departing from the airport without enough money on our transit cards, so we could not enter the building. Instead, we had to see the office at the kiosk and pay for the train. It was not much, but it did take a few minutes. We arrived well ahead of the recommended 3 hours, so that was not an issue. 60 second confidence challenge Do you or don't you tip? Not in South Korea. But it's always smart to ask. Be confident when you know what the expectations are.   Resources Roundup   If you are looking for more solo female travel resources, you can find several tips and ways to navigate the pitfalls, such as paying the difference on the transit card when you go long distances or knowing when to tip.   When you get lost, don't get upset. Get found. You will be better off if you cool down instead of heating your brain incorrectly. Chill, and you'll be found sooner. Dr. Travelbest's tip #760.    

In this episode of the Get Out of Debt Guy podcast, I answer a powerful listener question from a 71-year-old semi-retired filmmaker who's buried in $30,000 of credit card debt. After losing income from DVD sales, he's now fielding calls from debt relief companies offering to settle or consolidate his debt—but something doesn't feel right.We talk about how to spot red flags in the debt relief industry, including fake law firm branding, misleading promises, and manipulated review sites like Trustpilot. If you're wondering whether you can trust a company to handle your debt—or if you've been targeted by companies offering to "erase your debt" with no mention of the risks—you'll want to hear this.I share the key questions to ask before signing up for any debt solution, especially if you're a senior on a fixed income. I also point you to my free resource, The Ultimate Consumer Guide to Checking Out a Debt Relief Company, and explain why sometimes the right path isn't the most advertised one.This episode covers:How debt settlement companies often market to seniors in financial crisisWhat those five-star reviews really mean (and how to spot fake patterns)Why declining income years demand a different financial strategyWhat options are actually available when you're over 70 and deep in debtWho I personally trust to help people find the right solution for them

Online reviews shape consumer trust, but what happens when those reviews can't be trusted? In this episode, I sit down with Anoop Joshi, Chief Trust Officer at Trustpilot, to discuss the ongoing battle against fake reviews and the role of AI in both creating and detecting fraudulent content. With over 300 million reviews on its platform, Trustpilot has been at the forefront of combating fake reviews, recently winning 10 legal cases in the UK against bad actors. As the FTC cracks down on deceptive review practices with fines of up to $50,000 per violation, businesses must rethink their approach to online credibility. Anoop shares insights on what this regulatory shift means for companies and how Trustpilot's AI-driven approach is evolving to stay ahead of generative AI-generated fake reviews. We explore how Trustpilot's transparency efforts led to the removal of 3.3 million fake reviews last year alone and why a combination of AI, metadata analysis, and human oversight is critical for maintaining trust online. As AI-generated content becomes more sophisticated, Anoop also sheds light on emerging trends and the growing need for regulatory adaptability. If online reputation matters to your business—or if you've ever wondered how review platforms separate real feedback from deception—this episode is packed with insights you won't want to miss. Could AI ever be trusted to fully police itself, or will human intervention always be required to maintain trust?
