Send us a textWhat makes your company truly different from every competitor in your market? Not just surface-level distinctions, but the fundamental DNA that shapes how you operate, what you value, and why customers are magnetically drawn to your brand.Melissa Richards-Person, founder of Third Arm Consulting and former marketing executive for Starbucks, KFC, and Papa John's, reveals the transformative power of uncovering and activating your brand's unique DNA. After decades helping major brands and startups achieve exponential growth, Melissa shares her proven methodology for mining the authentic characteristics that can fuel your company's expansion while maintaining its soul.This conversation takes us beyond tired corporate buzzwords and generic attributes. Melissa demonstrates how techniques like "forced association" and bringing together "outsider insiders" can reveal profound insights about what truly makes a company special. She challenges leaders to dig deeper than descriptors like "friendly" or "innovative" to discover the genuine emotional connections that drive customer loyalty and team alignment. The discussion explores practical applications of brand DNA through the five Ps of marketing—product, place, price, promotion, and people—showing how companies can leverage their unique attributes to respond authentically to market challenges. Particularly fascinating is Melissa's perspective on "employer branding" as a misnomer, arguing that your brand is simply expressed to and through your employees rather than being a separate entity.Whether you're a founder struggling to articulate what makes your company special, a marketer seeking authentic differentiation, or a people operations leader trying to attract aligned talent, this episode provides a roadmap for turning your distinctive identity into measurable action and sustainable growth. By the end, you'll understand why beginning with your DNA is the surest path to scaling without losing what makes you special in the first place.

Our guest today is Daniel Corbett. Daniel has served as an elite Navy SEAL operator, as part of SEAL Teams 5, 6, and 17. He's now an entrepreneur and the author of American Mercenary. 1) People really need to read your book to get the whole story, but in a nutshell, how did a nice mercenary like you end up in a prison in Serbia? 2) Your story has been picked up by a production company. What can you tell us about that? 3) Is there a significance to your choosing the word Mercenary as opposed to “Contractor,” as many others in your line of work have used? 4) Throughout the book, your connection and dedication to your parents, especially your mom, stand out. The dangerous and secretive work you do must be hard on the family waiting at home. How does your family handle the unknown aspects of your life? 5) Your bio mentions that you have become an entrepreneur. Tell us what business ventures, besides finding “Unique Solutions To Unique Problems,” you are engaged in? 6) It might surprise people to hear that American Mercenary is an endearing story. And for a guy whose nickname is “Dirty” you have a humble and humorous way of letting us know you. From the story about Kinder Eggs to being transparent about Lululemon being your favorite brand of workout clothes. The reader feels like they are walking beside you throughout your journey. What is your favorite story about deciding what to put in or leave out of your book? Originally Aired 5.28.25

La Paracha relate le décompte des Bné Israël dans le désert, à leur sortie d'Égypte et la spécificité de chacune des 12 Tribus. De nos jours, ces tribus n'existent plus mais les Juifs sont tous astreints aux mêmes Mitsvot. Néanmoins, chaque Juif a un rôle particulier, des aptitudes qui lui sont propres afin de mener à bien sa mission dans le monde. Chacun, en fonction de ses capacités, de ses Middot, va servir Hachem de son mieux, et d'une manière unique. Chaque Néchama est reliée au trône céleste et donc la Mitsva de chacun est attendue avec amour dans le ciel…. Nous sommes tous des « soldats d'Hachem » et devons accomplir Ses commandements, tout en faisant preuve de capacité d'adaptation car chaque situation requiert un tant soit peu de discernement pour savoir comment agir au mieux.

Nathan is an Unreasonable Hospitality Certified Consultant. --What I learned during my conversation with Nathan. Hospitality is the simple act of thinking about and preparing for others before their arrival. Create an onboarding experience for new clients that closes the gap of potential buyer's remorse. Stop sending branded apparel. Get to know those you serve and send bespoke items that represent their unique identity. The local church needs to get creative again by being first-class in this space because business leaders are currently front-runners.

YOUR PERSONA & PRESENCE MAKE YOU UNFORGETTABLE As a podcaster, you spend countless hours perfecting your content. But are you making your show truly unforgettable? In this episode of Podcast Talent Coach, I reveal why your unique persona and presence are the most important assets you have. These are assets that artificial intelligence or your competition can never copy. When you infuse your content with your personal story and authentic self, you stand out from the endless sea of sameness. It's this magnetism that attracts loyal listeners and turns casual followers into raving fans for your brand. WHY YOUR STORY IS YOUR SUPERPOWER Let's be real: being slightly better or just another "shade of gray" won't set you apart in today's crowded landscape. It's not about being cheaper, having a slicker course, or even a more refined mic setup. What makes people choose you, over and over again, is your story—your origin, your journey, your perspective. Your competition might try to imitate your process, but they'll never replicate your lived experience and genuine voice. In this episode, I break down how icons like Howard Stern, Oprah Winfrey, and Zig Ziglar rose to fame by unapologetically sharing who they are and weaving personal stories into every lesson. STOP TEACHING—START ENTERTAINING Too many podcasters get caught up in cramming more information into each episode. Here's the truth: listeners crave entertainment. Even when they're tuning in to learn, it's the stories and emotions you invoke that keep them coming back. Just think about your favorite teacher—the one who brought lessons to life, not the monotone professor who put the class to sleep. In this episode, I show you how to wrap your valuable content in relatable, audience-focused stories. When you stir emotion and invite your audience into your world, you don't just give them information—you give them an unforgettable experience. DEFINE YOUR BRAND WITH INTENTION Your brand isn't an accident—it's a choice. I walk you through how to identify four to six adjectives that define your podcast persona and ensure every episode supports those characteristics. Are you insightful, quirky, bold, or caring? Structure your content and stories to reinforce these brand traits with consistency and confidence. When you intentionally choose the characteristics your show stands for, you foster trust and recognition in your niche. Just like Gary Vaynerchuk and Mel Robbins attract their tribes with distinct personas, you can create a magnetic brand by sharing your story your way. TAKE THE NEXT STEP TO GREATNESS If you ever wonder why your audience isn't growing, your engagement is flat, or you're not making money with your podcast, the answer is likely simple: you haven't leaned into your story and presence enough. Now is the time to stand out by being more authentic, more entertaining, and more YOU.

In our latest episode we speak with the author and academic Frank Gerits, whose most recent work explores the history of the intense ideological battle which took place in the 1950s and 1960s for African hearts and minds. His book, The Ideological Scramble for Africa, explores how this competition wasn't just between Cold War superpowers, but among African leaders themselves who were projecting competing visions of what African modernity should look like. In this conversation with Robert Amsterdam, Dr. Gerits gives an informed portrait of key figures such as Ghana's Kwame Nkrumah, whose revolutionary call for immediate continental unity challenged both colonial powers and fellow African leaders. While leaders like Senegal's Senghor favored maintaining ties with Europe and others promoted regional federations, Nkrumah demanded complete independence and a "Monroe Doctrine for Africa" that would keep the continent out of global power struggles entirely. Gerits discussess his views on the fascinating psychological dimension of decolonization, showing how Western powers promoted "modernization" programs designed to psychologically transform Africans, while leaders like Nkrumah and intellectuals like Frantz Fanon fought to reclaim African cultural identity. The louder Africans demanded independence, the more Western powers interpreted this as evidence they needed more assistance—a dynamic that continues today. Be sure to explore our library of past podcast episodes, which include more than a dozen recent books on Africa.

Jason introduces Home Equity Investments (HEI), a growing industry where companies buy a portion of homeowners' equity, awaiting a future liquidity event like a sale or refinance, without requiring monthly payments. Hartman views this as a significant indicator of institutional investors' bullish outlook on residential real estate, similar to "build-to-rent" trends. He emphasizes that despite market fluctuations, real estate remains a long-term value investment. Hartman is launching his own HEI company and seeks experienced mortgage or HEI professionals to collaborate.

Dr. Rick and Forrest explore disorganized, or “fearful,” attachment. This complex style occurs when emotional intimacy and distance both feel uncomfortable, and typically arises based on difficult life experiences. They unpack why this attachment pattern forms, what it feels like on the inside, and how it can change over time. Dr. Rick explains how to break the Catch-22 of disorganized attachment, and how fully embracing and expressing your needs can be the key to finding stability. Topics include hypersensitivity, repression, experiencing out, self-regulation, and why "boring" relationships can be transformative. You can watch this episode on YouTube.

As most beer enthusiasts know, hops play a vital role in the brewing process. The cone-shaped flowers impart distinct aromas that help distinguish, say, a pilsner from a pale ale. Oregon is one of only three states, along with Washington and Idaho, that commercially grows hops. Oregon and Washington are also the only two states that have their own USDA-supported breeding programs to develop new varieties of hops. But only Oregon can lay claim to the Strata hop, a variety that was bred at Oregon State University and released in 2018. Nearly all Strata hops today are being grown at just nine family farms in the Willamette Valley. But this quintessentially Oregon hop is about to get a lot more exposure thanks to Oregon Homegrown, a statewide beer collaboration launching on May 23. For two weeks, more than 20 Oregon breweries will showcase the flavor versatility of Strata to create an array of beers, from a Vienna lager to a hazy IPA to a fruited ale. Jeff Alworth is a journalist, author of several books on beer and the executive director of Celebrate Oregon Beer, a nonprofit he created last year that’s organizing the event. Gayle Goschie is a third-generation hop farmer and the co-owner of Goschie Farms in Silverton. They join us to share more details about Oregon Homegrown and what makes Strata hops so special.
