If you are childless after infertility and wondering how to move forward without the future you dreamed of, this powerful conversation with Jody Day will meet you right where you are. In this episode, we explore what it truly means to grieve childlessness and how embracing that grief can lead to deep healing, creativity, and purpose. Jody shares her personal story, her insights from years of working in the childless-not-by-choice space, and how grief can evolve from something you endure into something you grow through. Inside this episode: Why grief is not an event but a skill What it means to experience disenfranchised grief as a childless woman How to feel seen in a society that avoids your pain What it takes to build your own support network as you age Why asking for help is a form of strength and connection Unforgettable quotes from Jody Day: “Grief is not an event. It's a skill.” “You're not needy. You have needs. You're human.” “We grieve that which we have loved.” “Grief is the emotion that allows us to let go of what was in order to embrace what's next.” “I look back at the woman who tried so hard and say: You didn't know more was available to you.” Whether you are early in your grief or further down the path, this episode will remind you that you are not alone, and that you still have the power to build a life you love. You are not too late. You are not alone. You may be childless, but your story still matters. This episode will remind you that healing is possible, connection is available, and the life ahead of you still holds meaning. Helpful links and resources:

Welcome to The Times of Israel's newest podcast series, Friday Focus. Each Friday, join diplomatic reporter Lazar Berman and host deputy editor Amanda Borschel-Dan for a deep dive into what's behind the news that spins the globe. This week, political correspondent Tal Schneider steps in for Berman. Unforgettable images of the Caracal's female tank unit crushing Hamas terrorists infiltrating southern Israel on October 7, 2023, brought home the realization that not only are women serving in the IDF, they're as eager -- and able -- to fight as their brothers in arms. Scheider describes a recent Knesset committee that discussed the phenomenon of the IDF's growing number of women warriors, which now make up almost 21 percent of all fighting forces. We review the history of battles to have female fighters in the IDF -- including several benchmark Supreme Court cases which paved the way for the next generation. Schneider, who has spent the past several months researching the contribution these women warriors made on October 7, talks about where the army stands today -- and what is on the horizon for other fighting units being opened up to women. Friday Focus can be found on all podcast platforms. This episode was produced by the Pod-Waves and the video was edited by Thomas Girsch.

In this deeply moving episode, Mitch and Mills sit down with their client and now colleague, Amelia Gow, to share a moment that shaped her life forever. At just 16 years old, Amelia found out she was pregnant—and made the heartbreaking decision to place her son for adoption. She opens up about what life was like back then, her mother's reaction, the moment she let him go, and the turbulance that followed. Together, they explore the emotional weight of a system that offered little care or communication, and the decades-long ripple effects of that experience. Now, 20 years later, Amelia reflects on meeting her son's parents, reconnecting with her past, and how that journey became a catalyst for her own transformation. This episode is about grief, courage, identity—and the power of choosing healing when life gives you no clear roadmap. Raw. Brave. Unforgettable. Thank-you Amelia for sharing your journey.

Send us a textBuckle up for our raw, unfiltered reaction to Eurovision 2025's second semi-final! We're diving into this year's wildest collection of musical offerings before the performances even hit the stage.Australia opens the night with what might be the most polarizing act of the competition – the infamous "Milkshake Man" who's already generating heated debates across the Eurovision community. From there, we journey through the musical extremes that make this competition so addictively watchable: Montenegro's gothic drama, Ireland's bizarre tribute to a Soviet space dog, and Malta's controversially censored "Serving" that has fans ready to rebel against the EBU's language restrictions.The standout performances of the night promise to be Czechia's sultry, Bond-worthy "Kiss Kiss Goodbye" and Austria's operatic vocal showcase that could either soar or crash depending on the live delivery. Meanwhile, Georgia brings traditional dancing elements that will have jury members reaching for their highest scores, while Finland closes the show with a provocative female empowerment anthem that could divide voters.What makes this semi-final particularly fascinating is the clash between jury bait and public favorites. Will the juries ever embrace the theatrical elements that make Eurovision unique, or will they retreat to safer, more traditional performances? And which countries will ultimately secure their spot in the grand final?Ready to join us for this Eurovision journey? Grab your scorecards, prepare your party snacks, and don't forget to hydrate!

These aren't “tips.” They're real stories. Real lessons. Real wisdom.

Welcome to the Health Marketing Collective, where strong leadership meets marketing excellence. In today's episode, host Sara Payne sits down with Mike Cronin, Cofounder and Chief Strategist at Verve, to explore the evolving landscape of creativity in B2B healthcare marketing. Mike, whose impressive résumé includes brand and campaign strategy for UnitedHealth Group, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Optum, and revered consumer brands like Harley-Davidson and Samuel Adams, brings a rare blend of creative vision and strategic rigor to his work. His fundamental belief? That creative work's purpose is to move people, not just fill space. In this conversation, Mike and Sara dive deep into how B2B health brands can move beyond “safe” ideas and unlock emotionally resonant, unforgettable campaigns—even within highly regulated and risk-averse spaces. They discuss why simplicity is a superpower, the importance of strategic “boxes,” and how marketing leaders can create environments where big swings are encouraged, not stifled. Along the way, Mike shares memorable stories from his work (including a campaign that fused Lizzo's “Good as Hell” into healthcare advertising), offers insight into the universal human truths marketers often miss, and outlines what separates teams that produce great creative from those that simply make noise. Thank you for being part of the Health Marketing Collective, where strong leadership meets marketing excellence. The future of health care depends on it. Key Takeaways: Creativity Thrives Within Constraints: Mike challenges the conventional wisdom of “thinking outside the box.” He argues that true creativity is often unlocked not by limitless freedom, but by well-defined strategic constraints. It's within the confines of a focused brief—what Mike calls “the freedom of a tight brief”—that intelligent, emotionally resonant ideas emerge. Rather than aiming for “crazy” or “flashy,” the best creative is smart, intentional, and purpose-driven. Emotion and Human Truth are Universal, Even in B2B: B2B often gravitates toward rational benefits: cost savings, efficiency, or productivity. But, as Mike notes, even financial administrators and clinicians are humans first—they respond to messages that tap into universal emotions and experiences: hope, fear, dignity, and relief from frustration. Brands that connect on this human level, rather than just touting features and benefits, become memorable and meaningful. Strategic Alignment is the Key to Unlocking Great Creative: Teams that produce truly breakthrough work consistently prioritize strategy. When everyone is aligned on the core insight and brief, creativity can flow freely within those parameters. Conversely, weak or vague direction leads to “safe,” generic campaigns. Mike's experience shows that great creative always starts with a shared, sharp strategic foundation. Boldness is Essential for Breaking Through the Noise: Healthcare, especially B2B, often defaults to playing it safe (“everything's blue”)—but in a crowded marketplace, standing out is non-negotiable. Mike advocates for boldness that is grounded in the brand's truth and strategically anchored. The result: unforgettable, not just noisy, marketing. Leadership's Role: Foster Honesty, Empathy, and Trust: Leadership sets the tone for creativity and trust. Mike urges CMOs and marketing leaders to lead with clarity and honesty—eschewing “BS” and toxic positivity for real, truthful dialogue about challenges and opportunities. Teams (and audiences) respond to authenticity; when leaders call things as they are and create space for truth, better work results.

Today, we are joined by Leslie Zane.Leslie Zane is an award-winning marketer, TEDx speaker and the foremost authority in harnessing the instinctive mind to accelerate brand and business growth. Like many pioneers, Zane's ideas were dismissed early on. In 1995, she founded Triggers®, a CMO advisory and the first brand consulting firm rooted in behavioral science, where she continued to champion the primacy of the instinctive mind in brand decisions. With her groundbreaking discoveries in boosting salience, the Brand Connectome® and Growth Triggers®, Zane and her team have delivered over 2X incremental revenue growth for their Fortune 100 clients.In this episode, we explore the revolutionary concept of the Brand Connectome and how it transforms traditional marketing approaches. Leslie challenges long-held marketing beliefs, explaining that the human mind is unpersuadable through conscious appeals, but highly receptive to unconscious triggers that form instinctive associations with brands. Key topics include:How the Brand Connectome forms in the unconscious mind and drives 95% of purchasing decisionsWhy brands should pursue distinctiveness rather than uniqueness when developing their identityThe counterintuitive approach of layering multiple messages instead of focusing on "one big idea"How growth comes from targeting non-users rather than existing customersWhy fantasy drives consumer decisions more powerfully than reality-based marketingLeslie Zane's Book: "The Power of Instinct: The New Rules of Persuasion in Business and Life" LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/lesliezane Website: triggers.com-Website and live online programs: http://ims-online.comBlog: https://blog.ims-online.com/Podcast: https://ims-online.com/podcasts/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charlesgood/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/charlesgood99Chapters:(00:00) Introduction(01:40) Tool: Understanding the Unconscious Mind's Role in Decision Making(04:00) Technique: Building the Brand Connectome for Instinctive Choice(07:00) Tip: Pursuing Distinctiveness Instead of Uniqueness(11:40) Technique: Combating Negative Brand Perceptions(13:10) Tip: Why Layered Messaging Beats the "One Big Idea" Approach(19:50) Technique: The "Keep, Stop, Add" Formula for Brand Evolution(24:30) Tool: Prioritizing Growth Targets Over Existing Customers(29:30) Tool: Tapping Into Unconscious Fantasies Instead of Reality(33:10) Tip: Why Emotions Alone Don't Drive Brand Decisions(37:50) Technique: Preventing Digital Brand Atrophy Through Consistency(40:00) Conclusion#CharlesGood #LeslieZane #TheGoodLeadershipPodcast #BrandConnectome #UnconsciousDecisionMaking #GrowthTriggers #DistinctiveBrandAssets #ConsumerPsychology #BrandStrategy #LayeredMessaging #GrowthMarketing #BrandEvolution #MarketingMyths #InstinctiveChoice #BrandLoyalty #FantasyMarketing #TriggersBrandConsulting #PowerOfInstinct #BrandManagement #BrandConsistency

Trending with Timmerie - Catholic Principals applied to today's experiences.
As we mourn the loss of our Holy Father, it's also inspiring to reminisce back on when Pope Francis was first elected. If you've ever wondered what it was like to be in Rome during that historic moment, Timmerie will share her personal encounter and help you live vicariously through her! You can hear Timmerie's full hour of reflections about Pope Francis and what happens when a pope dies here. Timmerie arrived in Rome on March 19th, 2013, literally hours after Pope Francis’ papal inauguration on the Solemnity of St. Joseph! The air was electric with what she called an “after-party energy,” a lingering buzz of joy and hope among the crowds. All over the streets: chants of "Papa Francesco! Papa Francesco!" The Popemobile Shocker Let’s set the scene: for decades, the popemobile was this sealed-off, bulletproof bubble of security. But Pope Francis rolled out in an open-window Popemobile and then stepped out of it! Swiss Guards = panicked. Crowd = ecstatic. Timmerie made her way to the front of the barrier, reaching out as far as she could. She didn’t manage to touch him, but it wasn't for lack of trying. A Moment of Radical Mercy Right next to her stood a young man in a wheelchair. Pope Francis had him lifted up over the crowd to be kissed and blessed. This was a direct rejection of the "culture of waste" the Pope often decried. Timmerie captured that moment on her old-school 2013 iPhone. The photos spread like wildfire, showing the world a pope who would bend the rules to raise up the lowly. She saw it firsthand... the beginning of a new papal tone: intimacy, mercy, and fierce love for the forgotten. A Shepherd Among the Sheep She wraps her story remembering those early months when we’d hear how Pope Francis would sneak out at night to minister to the poor, something unthinkable with previous popes. But that was Pope Francis: a Latin American shepherd sent by the Spirit, literally stepping off his throne to be with his flock. Timmerie was there for the birth of a new chapter in Church history. And she leaves us with a reminder to pray for the soul of Pope Francis, this bold, compassionate man chosen to lead us.

Ever wondered how data powers the magic behind your favorite theme park experiences? Join Cindi Howson and Gavin Hupp, VP of Technology, Enterprise Architecture, Data and Martech, E-commerce and Analytics at United Parks and Resorts, as they explore the complex data ecosystem of a theme park, from e-commerce and guest experience to AI's role in shaping the future of entertainment.Key Moments: Theme Park Business Model (03:12): Theme parks are described as a mix of multiple businesses, including e-commerce for ticket sales, animal experiences, entertainment venues, culinary and restaurant services, and retail operations. This combination creates a complex ecosystem, similar to city planning, within a single physical location. Data Ecosystem Challenges (03:37): Gavin highlights the challenge of managing data within theme parks due to the variety of business areas. Each area generates unique data, leading to disparate and sometimes siloed data sets across different business applications. AI as an Innovation Driver (11:24): AI is viewed as a key driver of innovation within the theme park industry, capable of creating new products and services, such as augmented reality experiences, and enhancing personalization at scale. AI for Process Optimization (11:24): Beyond guest-facing innovation, AI is also seen as a tool to optimize business processes, streamline operations, reduce costs, and identify opportunities for revenue growth through personalization and increased efficiency. Data-Driven Decision-Making (17:30): United Parks and Resorts emphasizes the importance of guest feedback, collected through surveys and other means, and uses it to inform decision-making and guide the company's overall strategy. Agile Development Approach (28:50): Gavin explains how the company employs agile development principles, using "skateboards" as a metaphor for quickly delivering initial solutions and value while simultaneously iterating and building more comprehensive and scalable solutions ("scooters" and "factories").Key Quotes:"To become more data-driven, you have to break down silos. This requires making people aware of the silos, the challenges they create, and framing it as a data quality discussion. Getting business leaders to care about data quality isn't easy; they want end results and impact." - Gavin Hupp"There's product and service innovation, and business process innovation, where AI optimizes and streamlines operations, decreasing costs and increasing revenue through personalization." - Gavin Hupp“There's an agile concept, a principle where, at the end of the day, you need to get movement, you need to get going. And so you can use a skateboard to go from point A to point B.” - Gavin HuppMentionsGavin Hupp, Forbes ArticlePenguin Trek: Seaworld Roller CoasterConway's Law4 Values of Agile DevelopmentScrumDiet & Eating Habits of Killer WhalesGuest Bio Gavin Hupp is currently the VP of Technology: Enterprise Architecture & Data, Martech, e-Commerce & Analytics at SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment (United Parks & Resorts).
