For years, local SEO was about keywords. You found the phrases people were searching for, loaded your pages with them, and hoped Google noticed. That approach is not just outdated now. It is actively working against you. In this episode, Jerry Kennedy breaks down the shift that has happened over the last four to five years and why authority has replaced keywords as the thing that actually determines whether you show up in local and AI search. The distinction sounds subtle but the implications for how you build and manage your website are significant. Jerry walks through the three pillars of local search: relevance, proximity, and prominence. Relevance and proximity are straightforward. Prominence is where most chiropractors are leaving results on the table, and it is also the piece that most low-budget website companies either do not understand or simply ignore. He uses the gas station chicken wings analogy to explain why mentioning a condition once on a services page puts you in the same category as a business nobody actually associates with that thing, and how building real content depth around two or three subjects is what starts to move the needle. He also covers why reviews matter more than most chiropractors treat them, why the people who already have momentum in your market are going to keep pulling ahead if you are playing by old rules, and what the starting point actually looks like for building authority in your area. Topics Covered The core shift from keyword-focused SEO to authority-focused SEO and what it means practically The three pillars of local search: relevance, proximity, and prominence explained Why keyword stuffing still shows up on chiropractic websites built by high-volume companies The gas station chicken wings analogy: why thin mentions do not build authority Why established chiropractors can get away with a simpler website and newer ones cannot How to build real topical authority through website content, blogs, reviews, and off-site signals Why reviews are Google and AI's closest approximation of community reputation The "rich get richer" dynamic in local search and what it means if you are just getting started How to pick the two or three authority areas worth focusing on in your practice   If you want a free look at your website and local search, request a review at RocketChiro.com.

Even if you already have an estate plan in place, there's a good chance it may not work the way you think. In this episode, Loren Merkle, Molly Nelson, and guest attorney Charlie Bottenberg of Brick Gentry P.C. discuss how estate planning has evolved — and why outdated documents, old trust language, and overlooked beneficiary designations could create unintended tax consequences, probate issues, or family complications.They explain why estate taxes are no longer the primary concern for most families, how the SECURE Act changed inherited retirement accounts, and why modern estate planning is now focused on flexibility, protection, and control. You'll also learn what probate really is, common mistakes people make with IRAs and trusts, and why regularly reviewing your plan is so important.Whether you're updating an old will, thinking about how to protect your family, or simply trying to better understand how your assets may transfer someday, this conversation offers practical insights to help you make more informed decisions about your legacy.--Ready to take the next step?

Read the full transcript here. Why do our minds sometimes need experiments more than insight? What changes when therapy becomes a way of practicing life outside the therapist's office rather than explaining life inside it? If CBT is fundamentally about learning skills, how much of good therapy depends on what happens between sessions? Why can a five-minute action matter when depression says that nothing is worth doing? What does it mean to test a thought instead of trying to replace it with something merely positive? How do moods make certain evidence visible while hiding the rest? Why does anxiety grow when we organize life around avoiding danger rather than strengthening our capacity to cope? What would change if we treated catastrophes not only as predictions to challenge, but as scenarios we could prepare to handle? How do safety behaviors keep fear alive by teaching the wrong lesson? And what might therapy become if it started not only with what is broken, but with the strengths, habits, and forms of resilience a person already has?

This is a conversation we had many times in private because, let's be honest, while this might not be everyone, it is a lot of us!We wanted to talk about some of the different aspects of procrastination because also, while it affects a lot of us, it is often only in certain situations or with certain tasks.Recognising and dealing with procrastination is a very important part of starting/building an exercise habit. The difference between someone who exercises 3 times a week and one who can hardly manage once a week is very unlikely to be motivation. But that is what we are told, because the world likes to make us feel like we are the problem.Procrastination compounds feelings of self doubt and lack of self belief - every time you procrastinate on your workout you increase the feelings of doubt about whether you are worth it, can afford it, have time for it, should be doing it. Procrastination is also a rebellion, against the things we don't want to do! The only way to overcome that is to be extremely clear on your "Why", clear enough that your brain (and self-esteem) realise that what you want stands on the other side of your workout.Support the showAll the details of our Kofi account are below so if you want to be part of our journey to help more women, check it out - we thank you.www.ko-fi.com/thepowerof30Places to find us;www.thepowerof30.co.ukwww.curvesilkeston.co.ukFacebook; @thepowerof30@curvesilkestonBooks & Bones; Motivational Book ClubInstagram; @curvesilkeston@3dannii3@sallpeacockYouTube;Curves CoachSall PeacockDannii-Ellie

What if sustaining your health has less to do with chasing wellness trends… and more to do with the way you think about wellness in the first place? In this episode, Cynthia shares why healthy living can quietly feel overwhelming, and how small, intentional shifts in your mindset, habits, routines, and home environment may matter more than perfection ever will.

The truth is uncomfortable: if you're truly growing, you don't outgrow your partner. Real growth makes you more integral, more aligned with your values, and more committed to the life you said you believed in.

This week's episode of The Way We See It serves as a powerful follow-up to last week's conversation on Who Is Discipling the Culture? If culture is shaping the way people think, then the next question is clear: what are those thoughts producing in our lives? Pastor Alex Bryant dives into the biblical truth that as a man thinks in his heart, so is he, unpacking how our thoughts shape our emotions, our actions, our habits, and ultimately our future. From the influence of social media, media, and higher education to the rise of emotionalism, anxiety, and worry, Alex explores how wrong thought patterns can quietly shape identity and behavior. He closes with a practical challenge on how to retrain the mind to think biblically, reject toxic mental loops, and let truth become louder than feelings. This is a timely, practical, and deeply personal conversation about how the way we think is shaping the way we live. #TWWSI #Mindset #ThoughtLife #RenewYourMind #Leadership #Culture #Faith #Anxiety #TruthOverFeelings #TheWayWeSeeIt #PastorAlexBryant Alex Bryant Ministries is focused on helping people be reconciled to God, then within one's own self, and finally being reconciled to our fellow man in order to become disciples.

AI isn't just disrupting SaaS, it's forcing a fundamental rethink of what software is actually worth. In this episode, Brent sits down with Kantata CEO Michael Speranza to unpack the growing tension across the market: buyers questioning why they should pay for software they think AI can build, and boards pushing leaders to prove long-term, defensible value. The conversation goes beyond the hype to explore what truly survives in an AI-driven world, and why the future of SaaS has far less to do with code and far more to do with context.Key Topics CoveredThe new “build vs. buy” reality: Why buyers are questioning SaaS in the age of AI, and where that thinking falls shortWho's actually at risk: The types of SaaS companies most vulnerable in this shift (and why)The death of code as a moat: How value is moving from product to data, workflows, and domain expertiseContext as the new advantage: Why owning deep customer understanding is becoming the ultimate differentiatorWhat survives — and wins: The traits of SaaS companies that will endure and thrive in an AI-driven marketRead Michael's recent article, AI Is Coming for SaaS.

The ground is shifting in the commercial property world—not through one dramatic event, but through a series of subtle, steady undercurrents. In this episode, Jerry explores why the "Winner Takes All" dynamic isn't about the biggest institutions dominating the market, but about the investors who are agile enough to notice the moving sands. From evolving work patterns and demographic shifts to tightening environmental standards and business rate pressures, Jerry breaks down why "doing nothing" has become an expensive strategy.

In this first message of our Parables of Grace series, we revisit one of the most familiar stories Jesus ever told—the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25–37).But what if we've been asking the wrong question?When a lawyer asks Jesus, “Who is my neighbor?” he's really asking where the line is—who qualifies for his time, compassion, and responsibility. Jesus responds with a story that doesn't just redefine “neighbor.” It reframes the entire conversation.This sermon explores:What Jesus meant by “eternal life” (and why it's not just about life after death)How status, identity, and tribal thinking shrink our worldWhy the priest and Levite aren't villains—but mirrorsHow grace begins when we expand our definition of who belongsThe Good Samaritan isn't just about helping someone in a ditch. It's about waking up to the kind of life that “outruns death”—the life of the age to come—starting right now.If you've ever wondered where you draw the line around compassion… this story invites you to move it.—

Have you ever thought, "I eat pretty well… I'm active… so why won't the scale move—or my belly fat budge?" Friend, this short bonus episode is for you. I'm sharing a real client story that perfectly captures what it looks like to lose weight wisely in midlife—without extremes, burnout, or starting over yet again. One of my clients is officially down 22 pounds since July, and no, this didn't happen because she ate less, cut carbs, or lived on cardio. What did work? Planned, balanced meals. Consistent strength training. One smart HIIT workout per week. And learning how to fuel her body the Trim Healthy Wisdom way. Midlife fat loss isn't about doing more—it's about sending better signals. Your hormones need safety. Your metabolism needs consistency. Your muscles need resistance and proper fuel. And when those pieces line up, belly fat finally has a reason to move. If you've been feeling stuck, frustrated, or confused about how to lose weight in this season, this episode will bring clarity—and hope.

You are blessed!What a phenomenal promise in Scripture. But the blessing is probably not in what you are thinking.In Ephesians 1:3–14, the Apostle Paul declares a staggering truth: every spiritual blessing we receive from God is found and fulfilled in Jesus Christ. In this Christ-centered Bible teaching, we explore what it truly means to be “blessed” and how our blessing is not in something but in Someone (Jesus).As we step into a new year filled with noise, busyness, and distraction, this passage calls believers back to the supreme focus of the Christian life: delighting in Christ, resting in what He has already accomplished, and living for the praise of His glorious grace.If you want to grow spiritually, understand your identity in Christ, and anchor your life in the unshakable blessings of the gospel, this study from Ephesians will reorient your heart and mind around the preeminence, majesty, and glory of Jesus Christ.Watch this episode as a video on YouTubeCheck out the study notes for this episode-----------------» Join the Deeper Christian community and receive the Deeper Digest each Saturday, which includes all the quotes, articles, podcasts, and resources from Nathan and Deeper Christian from the week to help you grow spiritually.-----------------Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 368View the shownotes for this episode and get other Christ-centered teaching and resources at: deeperChristian.com/368

A "Creature Comfort" video to affirm, inspire, give context to, and, yes, comfort your creature self as you unplug from burnout and the life of a machine and become more vital and alive human again.This year my algorithm is full of more memes and “permission slips” reminding everyone that winter is not a time of growth. And of course, there's some truth to that. And coming to see that is a great first stage in coming back to your animal self; in unlearning machine-oriented expectations of constant productivity.But what if post winter-solstice winter, in the natural world, actually *is* a time of growth? What if it's how we've come to define growth that's actually getting in the way here?Here I share some more thoughts about: the stages of reconnecting with the seasons; a more nature-based understanding of growth; why it's important that we not only celebrate growth in the Spring; and my perspective on how hibernating and growing can (and should!) exist at the same time.(And what do you think - should these little videos affirming and comforting and giving context for our little creature selves be called “Creature Comfort”??

 What Is Daily Shift? Daily Shift is a new mini-series on the Celeste the Therapist podcast.

This series is part of my larger brand mission, Shifting the Way You Think, which supports emotional wellness and helps people get unstuck through awareness, mindset work, and daily practice. Today's Daily Shift explores a state many people live in without even realizing it: survival mode. When your past required you to stay alert, tense, or ready for anything, your body can remain in that state long after the danger is gone. This episode helps you understand why you might find it hard to relax, why peace feels unfamiliar, and how to begin shifting out of constant survival and into true living. This is a reminder that you don't have to stay in the same mindset you once needed just to make it through.

Video games make you violent. Video games corrupt the youth. Video games rot your brain! You've probably heard that narrative before … but Kawika Guillermo offers a fresh take in their new essay collection, Of Floating Isles: On Growing Pains and Video Games. The book is part memoir, part cultural analysis about the roles that video games play in our lives. For Kawika, games aren't just a mindless escape — they're thoughtful works of art that help us understand our identities and the world we live in. Kawika joins Mattea to talk about gaming as a catalyst for social change, rethinking shooting games and how video games helped them grapple with grief. Liked this conversation?

By learning to separate the two, you take a crucial step toward healing, clarity, and aligning with who you are becoming.

Episode Summary: In today's Daily Shift, we explore one of the most important truths in personal growth and emotional wellness: you can't heal what you won't acknowledge. Avoidance may feel safe in the moment, but it keeps us stuck in the same patterns, the same pain, and the same emotional cycles. Healing begins with honesty—honesty about what hurts, what's not working, and what needs to change. This short episode will help you pause, check in with yourself, and consider the places where avoidance might be holding you back.

In this two-part teaching from the series Why Don’t I Have What I Want?, Pastor Rick explores how both our thinking and our lifestyle play a major role in shaping our future. Part 1, “The Way You Think,” reveals how we often settle in mental “Haran moments,” limiting ourselves long before circumstances do. God calls us to renew our minds, challenge inherited patterns, and believe beyond what we can see so we can move toward His best. Part 2, “The Way You Live,” shows how our habits, choices, and daily decisions reflect our faith and influence our long-term results. Abraham’s life reminds us that lifestyle matters—our shortcuts, conflicts, and consistency impact not only us but generations after us. This message will help you examine both your thoughts and your habits so you can step into the life God designed for you.

Have a listen to this podcast - Reprogramming Reality And Manifestation as A Lifestyle - as I chat with Aisha Rodrique as part of her Human Garage Experience on the science of manifestation and the structure of reality. This is a really raw and real conversation, together we peel back the layers and go deep into what it really looks like to create a life that you are madly in love with. Your own life, thoroughly on your own terms and the role that manifestation and mindset plays in that creation. We discuss my own journey and and my quest to answer the burning questions of:- Why am I here? How do I be happy and how do I create a life that I love? And - What is my purpose? And, how do you know that it is your calling to influence and support others? Listen HERE: Reprogramming Reality And Manifestation as A Lifestyle We discuss the importance of courage when you decide to move forward when embarking on finding your purpose and digging into building that life that truly makes you happy. And, how to visualise emotional pain and learn from that to strengthen your desires and be in coherence with the lessons. Also, what does coherence, recalibration or alignment actually mean? How does it translate to our own actions? And how can you bring yourself back in coherence, recalibration and alignment? And, reading whether you are an energetic match for what you are wanting to manifest in your life. We discuss the tools, strategies and the techniques that you can use to assist your recalibration, your mindset and your manifestation. And how it is a lifestyle choice, rather than a one-off occurrence. Consider these ideas: If you are in a position of lack, you will manifest from a place of lack, which is more lack. You are a sovereign creator, you are an intentional creator, and you can make a real impact in your life. Find out how you can do this: Listen HERE!

This episode is sponsored by Lockton, click here to learn more Watch the Full Video on YouTube - click hereAI dominates every conversation in the automotive industry, but very few companies know how to make it truly useful. That focus on real value is what led MIT research scientist Dr. Bryan Reimer to write How to Make AI Useful.The idea began casually over dinner in Lisbon, when someone asked him what he really thought about AI. Bryan didn't dive into predictions about machines taking over. He focused on something more practical: how AI only matters when it's built with people in mind.He breaks AI down into three realities: the excitement of what it could do, the fear that follows when we realize what it might do, and the long, steady work required to make it truly valuable. AI can automate the basics and even create new content, but its real strength is amplifying human skill, not replacing it. The goal isn't an autopilot workforce. It's a copilot.That means the fear that AI will take jobs is misplaced. AI changes work; it doesn't erase it. Just as assisted driving has changed how we drive, rather than removing the driver, AI will shift roles and demand new skills. Bryan points out that layoffs blamed on AI are often just business decisions wearing a convenient mask. The real question is how companies use AI to make work better rather than cheaper.To do that, leaders in automotive need to unlearn old habits. Years of rigid processes, slow decision-making, and fear of change make it hard for AI to deliver value.He argues that useful AI requires trust and transparency. It's hard for any organization to move forward when fear, hidden approvals, and layers of bureaucracy control decisions. If employees can't be trusted to make decisions, AI won't save them. The real challenge is cultural, not technical.Bryan expands the conversation globally. Japan is embracing robotics as companions, while Europe is focusing heavily on privacy. Culture shapes how AI grows, and automotive companies need to pay attention to what consumers value, not just what tech can do.He connects this to China as well. China's speed is not about dumping features into cars. It's about building products people can afford and use. If Western brands only chase faster or cheaper without real value, they will lose.AI becomes useful when companies start small, test real-world problems, and continually improve the tool until it actually helps people do their work. That progress may cost more in the beginning, but better safety features, more accurate data, and enhanced customer experiences rarely come from shortcuts. The goal is not to replace people. It's to build technology that helps them perform at a higher level.Themes discussed in this episode:How AI becomes useful only when it is designed to support human judgment instead of replacing workersWhy the “Wow, Whoa, and Grow” framework helps companies move beyond AI hype and build tools that solve real problemsHow assisted driving proves that advanced technology still depends on human responsibility and oversight to deliver safe, reliable resultsThe importance of unlearning outdated processes before applying AI to existing workflows in automotiveWhy a lack of trust inside automotive organizations slows down AI adoption more than the technology itselfLessons from China's speed in product development and why Western automakers should prioritize value and accessibility over rushed innovationWhat automotive leaders can learn from the pharmaceutical model of testing, releasing, and improving technology through data-driven updates over timeWhy leaders should start small, run narrow...
