Sky is a long time friend online and when she asked me if I ever talked about site security on my podcast, it seemed like a perfect opportunity to fill that void. In this episode, we go through this somewhat dull topic and get through the essentials and how it is also part of having a healthy traffic growth on your site.

This week Elizabeth is joined by librarian and frequent contributor, Pamela Hayes-Bohanan who, in anticipation of Banned Books Week, gives us the latest news on attempts to remove books from our libraries. The majority of book censorship attempts now originate from organized movements, pressure groups, and government entities, including elected officials. While concerns about content or appropriate category for shelving used to come from individuals, book bans are now most commonly initiated by activists who may never have seen the book or patronized the library they've targeted.  The titles most frequently targeted for censorship appear on partisan lists. Websites provide a forum for sharing author names, book titles, and tools to demand censorship of more titles in more libraries.  Pam helps us understand what that means for our public, private, K-12 and college libraries.  We also discuss what it means for education and society more broadly.  Pam encourages us to celebrate the right to read.Podcast notesThe American Library Association sponsors Banned Books Week annually to promote awareness, remind us that censorship has no place in contemporary society, and most of all to celebrate the right to read. More information about Banned Books Week can be found here:  https://www.ala.org/bbooks/banned Since our podcast this happened: Texas School Administrators Use A.I.

In this episode of The Tech Leader's Playbook, Avetis Antaplyan sits down with Radhika Dutt—MIT-trained engineer, entrepreneur, and author of Radical Product Thinking, to rethink how high-growth companies set direction and measure progress. Radhika explains why traditional goal systems (KPIs/OKRs) often incentivize “performance theater,” tracing their lineage from Drucker's MBOs to Andy Grove to today's playbooks—and why they're mismatched to modern, creative work. She introduces OHLs (Objectives, Hypotheses, Learnings) and a “puzzle setting/puzzle solving” culture that pushes teams to interrogate bad numbers, not hide them. Along the way she names common “product diseases” (HERO syndrome, obsessive sales disorder, pivotitis, strategic swelling, Narcissus complex) and shows how a clear, testable vision prevents whiplash pivots. A standout case study: at Signal Ocean, reframing the challenge for tech-averse users helped double sales in 2024 and again in 2025 while reducing churn from 26% to 4%. Leaders also get a practical script for better reviews (“How well is it working? What did we learn? What will we try next?”) and a reminder to build experimentation muscles before a crisis. The result is a rigorous, human approach to strategy that replaces vanity metrics with compounding learning.TakeawaysOKRs often reward optics over insight, encouraging “performance theater.”Use a concrete vision that states the problem, audience, status quo, desired end state, and product's role.Shift from “hit the target” to puzzle setting so teams feel invited to solve the right problems.Run on OHLs: Objectives, Hypotheses, Learnings to measure deeply and learn publicly.Watch for “product diseases” like HERO syndrome, obsessive sales disorder, pivotitis, strategic swelling, and the Narcissus complex.Pivot with gravitas by stating what was wrong, what you learned, and what you'll try next.Case study: at Signal Ocean, reframing for tech-averse users unlocked adoption, doubled sales year over year, and reduced churn.OKRs trace back to MBOs, which fit repetitive work but struggle with today's creative, uncertain problems.Leaders should act like detectives, not judges to create psychological safety for honest learning.Introduce OHLs inside your current cadence before replacing existing processes.Spread market insight beyond the founder so teams can challenge assumptions and stay aligned.Start with the segment that has the most urgent need, then expand intentionally.Chapters00:00 Intro & Why Targets Mislead01:27 Radhika's Path and Early Lessons03:41 Hitting Numbers vs. Reality on the Ground05:31 “Product Diseases” That Derail Strategy07:51 Writing a Vision You Can Execute09:49 The Wine Startup Example and Narcissus Complex13:07 Pivotitis and How to Pivot with Gravitas16:34 Translating Vision into Actionable Experiments17:44 Why Goals Alone Don't Work20:03 A Short History of OKRs and Their Limits24:43 From Targets to Puzzles: Reframing Stalled Sales26:50 OHLs: Objectives, Hypotheses, Learnings29:14 Running Better Reviews: Three Questions35:31 Case Study: Signal Ocean's Tech-Averse Users39:55 Outcomes: Doubling Sales and Reducing Churn41:58 Intel's Lesson: Experimentation Beats Goal Mechanics47:58 Detectives, Not Judges: Building a Learning Culture50:06 How to Start Tomorrow with OHLs59:37 Don't Do Founder Mode; Spread Insight01:03:18 Closing Notes & ResourcesRadhika Dutt's Social Media Links:https://www.linkedin.com/in/radhika-dutt/Radhika Dutt's Websites:https://www.radicalproduct.com/https://rdutt.com/Resources and Links:https://www.hireclout.comhttps://www.podcast.hireclout.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/hirefasthireright

What is the future of e-commerce? In this episode, the Operators tackle the biggest questions facing brands today. We explore the rise of "Agentic Commerce" and the concept of the "Me Store". A future where personal AI assistants curate and conduct our shopping, potentially replacing the traditional e-commerce storefront as we know it.The conversation then dives deep into one of the most critical topics for any founder: brand. How do you distinguish between building an enduring brand versus chasing a fleeting trend? We break down the Stanley cup phenomenon as a case study and debate the best ways to measure true brand power. Is it about pricing power and repeat purchase rates, or is brand evangelism the ultimate metric? Finally, we explore different strategies for brand growth and category expansion, looking at how to stay true to a core customer while still finding new avenues for growth. Join us for a forward-looking discussion on the threats, opportunities, and strategic pivots required to win in the next era of commerce.Chapters:00:00:00 - Introduction00:06:15 - Stealing Marketing Ideas from 50 Years Ago00:17:47 - How AI Will Change E-Commerce Forever00:36:44 - How Do You Actually Measure "Brand"?00:49:30 - Analyzing Post-Purchase Survey Data00:56:52 - Brand vs. TrendPowered By:Fulfil.io.https://bit.ly/3pAp2vuThe Only Cloud ERP Designed to Efficiently Scale 8 and 9-Figure Brands.

If you're a parent navigating the ups and downs of your child's food allergies, you know firsthand how anxiety can sneak in, whether it's worrying about safety at school, birthday parties, or just trying to give your child some independence. In this episode of Psychologists Off the Clock, Tamara Hubbard joins Emily to talk about her new book, May Contain Anxiety: Managing the Overwhelm of Parenting Children with Food Allergies.Their conversation doesn't just stop at allergies, though; they dive into the bigger picture of parenting with anxiety and uncertainty and explore how anxiety, while a completely normal human experience, can sometimes take over if we don't keep it in check. Tune in with us for practical strategies to help parents move away from over-controlling tendencies and toward building skills and confidence in their kids.Listen and Learn: Understanding the medical and emotional side of food allergies from what actually happens in the body, why they create such high anxiety for parents, and how uncertainty around reactions fuels guilt and fearBalancing fear with perspective and the difference between everyday vigilance and anxiety that takes overThe “certainty trap” many allergy parents fall into, why control seeking feels protective but actually creates burnout, conflict, and limits a child's growth, and how shifting from control to skill building can better support both parents and kidsThe “over-avoidance trap” food allergy parents can fall into, how anxiety can push families to restrict more than is medically necessary, and why finding a realistic, personalized sense of “safe enough” (with support from an allergist) is key to breaking free from constant fearPractical strategies for allergy parents to balance safety with living fully by shifting from fear-driven "what if" thinking to action-focused "if then" plansThe “Goldilocks principle” for food allergy parenting and finding the just right balance of caution and calm that keeps kids safe without overwhelming anxietyHow parents can start building confidence and safety skills in young children with food allergies (or other health conditions) from an early age, setting the foundation for independence and calm navigation as they growWhy the middle childhood years can help kids build self-advocacy and take ownership of their allergy care, so they are ready for adolescenceHow parents balance safety with flexibility can shape teens' confidence and independence in managing food allergies while keeping anxiety in checkResources: Tamara's Book, May Contain Anxiety: Managing the Overwhelm of Parenting Children with Food Allergies: https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9781421449579 Tamara's Websites: https://www.foodallergycounselor.com/ and https://www.tamarahubbardlcpc.com/ Connect with Tamara on Socials: @FoodAllergyCounselor and @TherapistTamara.About Tamara HubbardWith more than 20 years of experience and a marriage and family therapy degree, Tamara Hubbard, MA, LCPC is a licensed clinical professional counselor helping women and parents of children with food allergies find their “just right” balance between feeling overwhelmed and living fully.

In this episode of Beekeeping Today Podcast, Jeff and Becky sit down with East Coast beekeeper and innovator Jim Fischer, the creator of Fischer's Bee-Quick. Known for its pleasant almond-cherry aroma, Bee-Quick was developed as a safer alternative to harsh chemical repellents for removing honey from supers. Jim shares how his father challenged him to “solve the problem” of the dreaded butyric acid, leading him to experiment with aromatics until he distilled a solution that worked for both bees and beekeepers. Beyond Bee-Quick, Jim's story weaves through decades of beekeeping experience: starting with two retirement gift hives in Virginia, scaling up to pollination along the Blue Ridge Parkway, and later pioneering rooftop beekeeping in Manhattan. He talks candidly about fall splits, queen management, and his practical philosophy that favors simple approaches over complex “desperation moves.” Jim also describes working with biodynamic certification, his memories of Richard Taylor and Ross Rounds, and the realities of keeping bees in an urban setting. Whether you're curious about the origins of Bee-Quick, strategies for overwintering nucs, or the logistics of rooftop hives overlooking Central Park, this wide-ranging conversation offers insights, humor, and practical advice from a beekeeper who has seen—and done—a little bit of everything.

What if the fastest way to define who you are is to first declare who you're not? In this episode, we connect with branding legend Laura Ries, bestselling author of The Strategic Enemy and chairwoman of Ries Global Consulting, to talk about why naming your “enemy” may just be the most powerful move you can make in business, branding, and life. We dig into how the world's most successful brands (think Skims, Bumble, and Dunkin') built their loyal followings not by trying to be everything to everyone, but by drawing a clear line in the sand. Whether you're launching a business, refining your leadership style, or just trying to live more authentically, this episode will help you stop playing small, ditch the toxic “fit in and please everyone” narrative, and start owning your brand — unapologetically.

This week we're doing something a little different on the Awake & Winning Podcast. Instead of Kaylor in the host chair, we're sharing an interview where he was the guest. Our friend Barb Moylan, the powerhouse behind Bam Fit 4 Life, brought Kaylor on her Facebook Live show for a raw conversation about ADHD, depression, and what it really takes to take back control of your life. Kaylor gets vulnerable about the years he felt like he was stuck “in the trunk” of his own life, the rock-bottom moment that cracked everything open, and how he flipped the script on ADHD, seeing it as a superpower instead of a disability. He also breaks down the simple but powerful fundamentals that changed everything: testing for root causes, dialing in sleep and nutrition, training hard, and keeping promises to himself. Barb's mission to help women reclaim strength and sovereignty is the perfect match for this convo, and you'll walk away inspired to rethink health, purpose, and freedom on your own terms.     Episode Highlights: ADHD reframe, root-cause testing, circadian rhythm, clean nutrition, strength training, anxiety tools, promises to self, entrepreneurship, mission first, men's mental health, pharmaceutical trade-offs, sovereignty       Takeaways: You are not a victim Reframe ADHD as a superpower and align your work Test for root causes before you treat Regulate sleep and light exposure daily Balance blood sugar and lower inflammation Keep promises to yourself to crush anxiety Build a mission that's bigger than you   If this episode lit a fire under you, don't keep it to yourself. Screenshot it, throw it up on Instagram, and tag @thekaylorbetts or @awakeandwinning so we can share the love. And hey, if you're vibing with the show, take 30 seconds to drop us a 5-star review, it helps us reach more freedom-loving legends like you.   _____________________________   RESOURCES & LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:   Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/healing.you.holistically/  Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100084147684605&mibextid=LQQJ4d  YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/@BAMFit4Life/videos Websites | https://bamfit4life.com/ _____________________________   SPONSORS: Truly Tallow | https://www.trulytallow.com/ Use code “SUNNYBALLS10” at checkout for 10% off your order _____________________________   IMPORTANT UPDATES:   Check out the Awake & Winning Website | https://awakeandwinning.com/ Join the Awake & Winning Business AW-cademy | https://theawbiz.com Follow Kaylor on Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/thekaylorbetts/ Follow Awake & Winning on Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/awakeandwinning/  Join Kaylor's Newsletter | https://awakeandwinning.lpages.co/optin/  _____________________________  

In unserer heutigen Folge geht es um das größte Volksfest der Welt, das Oktoberfest oder „die Wiesn“ in München. Es geht auch um Bier, aber vor allem wollen wir einen ökonomischen Blick auf die Wiesn werfen. Wir besprechen, was der „Hendlindex“ über die künftige Konjunktur aussagt und wie er sich entwickelt. Ebenso geht es darum, was genau den Bierpreis auf dem Oktoberfest in immer neue Höhen treibt, warum die Wiesnbesucher sich von steigenden Preisen nicht abschrecken lassen und welchen Einfluss Währungseffekte für ausländische Besucher haben. Unser Gast ist Dr. Jürgen Michels, er ist seit 2013 Chefvolkswirt der BayernLB. Er und sein Research Team analysieren seit einigen Jahren mit ökonomischen Methoden die Wiesn, so haben sie den Hendlindex und den Big-Bayern-Bier (BBB) Index entwickelt.

Thought for 17s

Most business owners obsess over driving more traffic to their websites. But as Brian Schmitt, CEO of Surefoot and a returning guest, explains, the fastest and most efficient way to grow profits is by converting more of the website visitors that companies already attract into paying customers. Surefoot is a data-driven conversion rate optimization agency for e-commerce brands and a leading authority on controlled consumer experiments — also known as A/B testing.  By testing version ‘A' of a webpage against version ‘B,' Surefoot pinpoints which design, headline, graphic, or call-to-action wins more customers. Surefoot's signature methodology is what it calls the “Revenue Friction Roadmap,” a structured way to uncover what potential customers are thinking but not saying out loud. While most optimization experts aim for a 20–25% bump, Brian's clients often see nearly double that impact: a 40–44% increase in sales from existing site visitors. Even minor tweaks, Brian explained — backed by hard data — can deliver game-changing results. On this week's episode, Brian shares actionable steps that any business owner can implement to turn more of their website visitors into loyal customers. Monday Morning Radio is hosted by the father-son duo of Dean and Maxwell Rotbart.

Richard Tufton and Claire Mackenzie of the Six Inches of Soil Podcast generously shared with me a conversation they hosted between Gabe Brown and Dr. Temple Grandin. This is a fascinating conversation that covers Dr. Temple Grandin's perspective on regenerative agriculture and some of her solutions to the fragility in our food system. We get some great back and forth between Gabe and Dr. Grandin.

This offers a communal hug, if you will, by enveloping the animal's life with a safe, healthy, happy and tranquil environment, which we know will undoubtedly provide a better life for them. Their conversations weave between regenerative agriculture, animal welfare, and consumer demand. The speakers discuss the importance of integrating livestock with crops, the challenges faced in modern agriculture, and the role of youth in shaping the future of farming. They emphasize the need for visual thinking and innovation in agricultural practices, as well as the impact of climate change on food production. Featuring: Dr Temple Grandin is an American scientist and industrial designer whose own experience with autism funded her professional work in creating systems to counter stress in certain human and animal populations.Dr. Grandin did not talk until she was three and a half years old. She was fortunate to get early speech therapy. Her teachers also taught her how to wait and take turns when playing board games. She was mainstreamed into a normal kindergarten at age five. Dr. Grandin became a prominent author and speaker on both autism and animal behavior. Today she is a professor of Animal Science at Colorado State University. She also has a successful career consulting on both livestock handling equipment design and animal welfare. She has been featured on NPR (National Public Radio) and a BBC Special – "The Woman Who Thinks Like a Cow". HBO made an Emmy Award winning movie about her life and she was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2016.Gabe BrownGabe Brown is one of the pioneers of the current soil health movement which focuses on the regeneration of our resources.

Bernice McDonald's mission is to help women be brave enough to do hard things - no matter what that is. We all face them. We're surprised by them or live with the long, enduring task of having that hard thing as part of our journey. Most of fear we're "not enough" but she says that it's not about being not enough. It's about being brave enough to face it, decide that we're not going to be defeated by it and find what we need to transform us.

On this episode of the Raving Patients Podcast, I sit down with nationally recognized revenue cycle expert Cissy Mangrum of RevTech Partners and Maximize RCM Consulting. With nearly three decades of leadership experience in both healthcare and dental, Cissy has helped countless practices streamline their operations, reduce denials, and improve their bottom line. Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) isn't just about billing—it touches every part of your practice, from credentialing to front office workflows to clinical documentation. In this conversation, we break down why most problems occur long before a claim is denied, and how simple behavioral and operational shifts can radically improve your collections, cash flow, and even patient experience. If you've ever wondered why claims are getting stuck, why AR is piling up, or how to make RCM work for your growth goals, this episode is a must-listen. What You'll Learn from This Episode Why RCM starts at the very beginning of your processes, not just the back end The top five reasons claims get denied—and how to prevent them Key benchmarks to know if your practice has an RCM problem (like days in AR and net collections %) How technology and AI are changing verification of benefits and claims submission The connection between RCM, cash flow, and EBITDA—especially if you're preparing to sell your practice The impact of RCM on patient experience, and how transparent communication and financing options build trust and loyalty — Key Takeaways 02:50 Introduction to Revenue Cycle Management 04:40 Understanding Revenue Cycle Management 12:55 Challenges in Revenue Cycle Management 17:48 Common Issues in Claims Submission 20:08 Identifying RCM Issues 25:59 Impact of RCM on Cash Flow and EBITDA 27:54 RCM and Patient Experience 32:15 Technological Innovations in RCM 34:33 Lightning Round Q&A — Connect with Cissy Want to learn more from today's guest?

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1155: Overfuel calls out dealership websites for failing performance tests, RunSafe says cybersecurity is now a dealbreaker for buyers, and ChatGPT becomes a top traffic driver for retailers — while Amazon charts its own AI pathShow Notes with links:​​Overfuel's second annual study of top 50 dealer group websites reveals a major gap in digital performance. Despite increasing online shopper behavior, nearly every site failed to meet Google's Core Web Vitals — for the second year in a row.Just 0.4% of 1,910 dealership sites passed Google's Core Web Vitals on both mobile and desktop.That's barely up from 0.0% in 2024, when no sites passed both benchmarks.The majority of failures came from outdated tech, bloated page designs, and poor optimization.Jay Wolfe Honda was one of only seven that passed both tests, boosting organic traffic by 29%.“Too many dealers are overspending on ads just to push traffic into broken experiences,” said Overfuel President Alex Griffis.Cybersecurity is now steering consumer decisions, with nearly 9 in 10 drivers saying it directly impacts whether they'll buy a connected vehicle. A new report from RunSafe Security shows rising concern — and confusion — about how safe today's tech-heavy cars really are.87% of drivers say cybersecurity influences their car-buying decision; 70% would buy an older car to avoid risk.Confidence is low: only 19% feel “very confident” their vehicle is secure.Infotainment systems are seen as the weak link, with OTA updates and AI features raising new concerns.83% of drivers want transparency into software supply chains, fearing third-party components.Andreas Biehl, Head of Mercedes-Benz Apps and MBUX: “We have the responsibility for user experience, but also to launch and run the whole product through comprehensive security and data-compliance processes.”ChatGPT is now driving meaningful traffic to major e-commerce players, signaling a shift in how consumers discover and shop for products online — and not everyone is playing along.In August, ChatGPT drove 20% of Walmart's referral traffic, 15% for Target, and over 20% for Etsy.OpenAI's own study says 2% of ChatGPT queries — about 50 million a day — involve shopping.Amazon blocked ChatGPT from crawling its listings, losing nearly 18% of its AI-driven traffic month-over-month.Amazon is betting on its own AI bot “Rufus” while retailers like Walmart are welcoming outside traffic.“This traffic will not be free in the future,” said analyst Juozas Kaziukėnas. “But for now, it's a gold rush.”0:00 Intro with Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier3:51 Dealership Websites Fair Google's Core Web Vitals6:44 87% of Car BuJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

In this Episode which marks the 5th anniversary of the Penis Project Podcast, Kate and Melissa, practitioners from Restorative Health Clinic talk to Kirk (59), who shares his very recent journey with prostate cancer — from vigilant PSA screening due to a strong family history, through biopsy and robotic prostatectomy(Gleason 9), to an unusually swift return of continence and erections (yes, really… at 5 weeks!). We chat about why a good GP relationship matters, common myths (no, PSA screening is not a finger-up-the-bum), and practical rehab steps that set you up for the best outcome. We also touch on the challenges recent Medicare telehealth changes pose for rural men and why community conversations save lives.  Key Takeaways:     PSA screening saves lives: It's a blood test. Many men still believe screening means a rectal exam — that misconception stops blokes from testing.  Early and regular checks matter, especially with family history. Kirk and his GP were “on it,” which likely changed his trajectory.  Rehab starts before surgery: Pre-op pelvic floor coaching and early, structured penile rehab support faster continence and sexual recovery.  Expectations matter: Being clear about how important sex is to you helps the team tailor a plan (medications, devices, or injections) so intimacy continues post-treatment.  Modern prostate cancer care is not what it was 20 years ago — minimally invasive surgery, targeted radiation, and better side-effect profiles.  Episode Highlights  Family history matters: Kirk, a 59-year-old anaesthetist, always knew prostate cancer was a “when, not if.” Vigilant PSA screening caught it early.  PSA test = blood test: Many men still mistakenly think screening means a rectal exam — this myth stops blokes from testing.  Gleason upgrade: Biopsy showed 7, but post-surgery pathology was 9 — reinforcing why early surgery was lifesaving.  GPs are gold: A trusted GP relationship ensures timely checks and continuity of care.  Rehab starts before surgery: Pelvic floor exercises and penile rehab education gave Kirk the best start.  Fast recovery: At 5 weeks post-op, Kirk is dry, pad-free, and already regaining erectile function with support strategies.  Community conversations: Kirk shared his diagnosis with ice-hockey teammates — most had no idea PSA was just a blood test.  Rural barriers: Medicare telehealth changes risk limiting access for country men as of November 1st 2025 — highlighting the importance of policy that supports remote care.  Positive outlook: Kirk's story proves recovery can be quicker than many expect, and modern treatments offer far better outcomes than in the past.  Take-home message: Don't wait for symptoms — get your PSA blood test done and talk to your mates about it.  Shareable quotes  “Good news — PSA screening is a blood test. That's it.”  “Pre-hab matters: start pelvic floor and penile rehab before surgery.”  “Sex after prostate cancer is absolutely possible — the toolkit is bigger and better than ever.”  “Men will talk footy all day — let's talk our health the same way.”    Resources & Links:  Book a telehealth consult with our sexual health nurse practitioners at Restorative Health Clinic  For more information check out our websites www.rshealth.com.au , www.makehardeasy.com.au and www.melissahadleybarrett.com  Listen & Subscribe  If you found this episode helpful, don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review the podcast!

Secret Thoughts of CEOS Ep. 143 Stop Leading on Autopilot: Mastering Conscious Communication.  With Chuck Wisner In this episode, Chris Yonker dives into the family business world and effective communication strategies, with this week's guest, Chuck Wisner.  Chuck is a seasoned advisor and coach in communication and leadership. Together, they discuss Chuck's book The Art of Conscious Conversations. The discussion explores themes such as the importance of examining hidden thoughts and stories that influence our communication patterns, the process of improving listening and communication skills, and strategies for facilitating effective conversations in high-stakes environments. Chuck shares insights on the value of awareness, vulnerability, and intention in transforming how we talk, listen, and interact, both in family settings and professional teams. ·       01:31 The Importance of Conscious Conversations ·       04:27 Understanding Conversational Patterns ·       09:44 The Power of Stories in Communication ·       14:29 Navigating Communication Challenges ·       17:45 Improving Listening and Understanding ·       20:36 The Practice of Managing Triggers ·       23:27 Building Better Conversations ·       25:19 The Power of Open-Handed Communication ·       28:02 Navigating Hostility in Teams and Families ·       28:58 Facilitation Techniques for Effective Dialogue ·       30:16 The Importance of Listening and Perspective Sharing ·       33:05 Leadership and the Power of Influence ·       41:09 Self-Awareness and Changing Behavioral Quotes ·        ” I think we never were taught the ABCs of conversations, it's like, your notion about the fish and water.

I first met Bella Zoe Martinez and Melissa Jean Martinez- Areffi at Film Invasion Los Angeles in 2022, when their short film “Glory & Injustice” was an Official Selection. Personally, I LOVED that wonderful short where a thirteen year old has to yell at her supervillain father to get his off his butt and go commit some crimes! Imagine my delight when this same team, and when I say “team” I should really say “family,” sent a new film three years later and it is an Oscar-quality short that is amazing in every dimension? No surprise that “Once More, Like Rain Man” came to the 2025 edition of Film Invasion Los Angeles and took home four awards! By the way, I referred to this team as a family and now I should clarify. Melissa and Bella are mother and daughter, and father Andy Areffi is equally involved in every film. Bella and Melissa came over to record the podcast, while Andy deserves this personal shout out for holding down the fort while the others came over to have fun.                                                                     Fingers crossed that someday we get Andy on the podcast! For the record, “Once More, Like Rain Man” won the Grand Jury Awards for Best Short Film, Comedy and Best Performance by a Cast, Short Film.                                                                                                    On top of that, it took home the Filmmakers Awards for Outstanding Direction, Comedy for director Sue Ann Pien as well as the Filmmakers Award for Outstanding Cast Performance, Comedy.

Guests: Siran Stacy, All-American running back for University of Alabama & Founder of Siran Stacy Ministries & John Blount, Head Pastor of Woodland Methodist Church/Pike RoadTopic: a conversation in advance of an event featuring Siran Stacy at Woodland on September 25, 2025Websites: siranstacy.org, woodlandlife.org

Meet Rob Hoffmann, the founder of the AI SEO LLM marketing tool "Mentions." Our conversation focuses on the evolving landscape of search engine optimization (SEO) due to the rise of Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, DeepSeek, and Perplexity etc,, which are becoming alternatives to traditional Google search. Rob Hoffmann discusses his journey into entrepreneurship, which started with an SEO agency called Contact, and how the need to track and improve brand visibility on these new AI platforms led to the creation of Mentions, which helps brands appear in LLM recommendations.Throughout our interview, Rob Hoffmann emphasizes the importance of reverse engineering consumer behavior, the need for excellent customer service (even providing his direct phone number to customers), and the affordability of mentions compared to competitors. Our discussion concludes with practical advice for businesses on determining if investing in LLM visibility is worthwhile based on their customer's buying journey.FAQs1. What is Mentions, and why was it founded?Mentions is a tool that assists brands and SEO agencies in navigating the evolving search landscape dominated by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Large Language Models (LLMs).Founding Rationale:• Mentions was born out of Rob Hoffmann's SEO agency, Contact.• The shift was necessitated by the recognition that SEO had "changed a lot" recently in response to AI, with search trends moving away from Google and "towards platforms like ChatGPT" (along with Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, etc.).• The founding goal was to be "the SEO agency of the future".• The tool was specifically created to solve two problems: providing a way of measuring brands visibility on LLM platforms, and helping brands get more visibility on platforms like ChatGPT.2. Why are LLMs becoming preferred search alternatives, and how does this affect marketing?People are increasingly turning to LLMs because consumer trust in traditional Google search results (the SERP's top 10 links) has declined, as many users feel these results have been "gamed" by marketers.• Trust in ChatGPT: Conversely, trust in ChatGPT is "through the roof". This is because the chat-based interface makes interaction feel like a conversation with a friend or even a therapist, providing personalized responses from an "all-knowing AI entity".• Customer Acquisition Channel: Because ChatGPT is becoming a frequently used search engine alternative, showing up in its responses when a user searches for a product (e.g., "what is the best organic sulfite free shampoo") is seen as a "great customer acquisition channel".3. How does the mention tool conceptualize LLM visibility (GEO)?Mentions is built on the understanding of how modern LLMs generate answers: LLM + search operator = the result.• The Process: When a user inputs a query (e.g., "what is the best shampoo for dry scalps"): 1. The LLM searches the internet (like Bing or Google). 2. It scrapes the top 10 to 20 results that show up on those search engines. 3. It digests, summarizes, and serves that information to the user.• The Strategy: For a brand to achieve visibility in LLMs (GEO), they must first show up in those underlying search results (traditional SEO). Mentions helps brands reverse engineer the process by figuring out how platforms like ChatGPT get their data and, critically, what sources they are citing to provide responses, thereby guiding the brand to become a cited source.4. What are the key features of the mentions platform?Mentions helps users understand and optimize their content strategy based on LLM data.• Prompts Section (Favorite Feature): This allows users to track specific searches or prompts. When tracking a prompt, mentions shows examples of conversations and, most usefully, lists the pages that are most being cited by ChatGPT. This list provides an "easy road map" for the brand to know whether they should create new content or reach out to those listed publishers to get mentioned.• Analytics Feature: This feature pulls data from Google Analytics 4 (J4) into an easy-to-use dashboard. It helps users see which pages on their website people are visiting most often from LLMs (such as ChatGPT or Perplexity), along with geographical data and device usage (mobile vs. desktop). The founder notes that seeing this traffic is often a "magical experience" for users.• Tracking Cadence (24-Hour Clock): Mentions inputs tracked prompts into all supported LLMs (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Deepseek, etc.) every 24 hours. This is essential because LLM responses are not identical on every search (the overlap is about 70%), so regular, repeated testing ensures the collection of a large data set, which increases the accuracy of the insights provided.5. Who should invest in mentions or GEO (LLM visibility)?The decision to use mentions depends entirely on the company's buyer journey.• Yes, Use Mentions If: If the company's buyer journey involves the ideal customer having a problem and then searching for an answer in Google or Chat GBT to inform their buying decision, then investing in SEO and GEO (LLM visibility) is recommended. If the end customer uses ChatGPT to inform their buying decision, then mentions is advisable.• No, Don't Use Mentions If: If the product is an impulse buy (e.g., a consumer package goods product seen on TikTok or Instagram that prompts an immediate purchase), then search engines like Google or ChatGPT are not part of the buyer journey, and SEO/GEO is likely not the best investment of marketing resources.6. How does mentions handle customer service and support?Customer service is a highly emphasized competitive advantage and value proposition for mentions.• Direct Access: Rob Hoffmann, the CEO and co-founder, gives his personal phone number, WhatsApp, email, and allows customers to contact him on social media (X/Twitter). This is done to avoid the frustration associated with generic AI chatbots, calling hotlines, or being put on hold.• Personalized Onboarding: He finds it helpful to get on calls with users (or a co-founder) to provide a live demo, walk them through the platform, suggest useful features, and look at their specific site.• Commitment to Resolution: Hoffmann promises that if a user has a question, he will answer it; if they encounter a bug, he will fix it (or ping a technical co-founder); and if they request a new feature, "we will ship that for you". Customers can literally pick up the phone and call him directly if they run into an issue.7. How can people start using mentions?To get started, users should go to the website mentions.so and create an account.After creating an account, they will receive an email that allows them to book a call directly with Rob Hoffmann. He also welcomes connections via LinkedIn or X (search for Rob Hoffman), or email rob@contactststudios.com to connect with Rob today!Next Steps for Digital Marketing + SEO Services:>> ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need SEO Services?

Today on the show we have Casey Hill, CMO of DoWhatWorks, a patented growth experiment tracking engine that reveals which website changes actually drive results. Casey brings experience from ActiveCampaign, his work as a Stanford instructor and advisor, and years of research into how leading companies like Slack, Shopify, and Asana run experiments. In this episode, Casey breaks down why most A/B tests fail and how to focus on the few elements that truly move the needle. We explore why two CTAs often outperform one, why customer logo bars underdeliver, and why expectation-to-reality alignment is the hidden driver of both conversions and retention. Casey also shares how DoWhatWorks blends large-scale data with human research to surface reliable best practices, why expansion revenue has become its biggest growth lever, and how enterprise clients are tackling churn by setting clear expectations from day one. We also discuss how onboarding experiments reduce early churn, why traffic sources should shape your CTA strategy, and why simplicity always wins on pricing pages.As usual, I'm excited to hear what you think of this episode, and if you have any feedback, I would love to hear from you.

On Strange Planet, Katherine Albrecht—privacy researcher, bestselling author, and StartMail co-founder—walks us through how Chrome became a portal for surveillance, how AI and predictive analytics harvest our lives, and what it means when courts cement Google's dominance. We interrogate the collision of technology, law, and power, ask whether citizens can still fight back, and map concrete steps to reclaim privacy. A wake-up call: convenience traded for control, and time is running out. Listen, learn, act—before your freedoms quietly vanish. GUEST: Dr. Katherine Albrecht is a privacy researcher and consumer-rights advocate with degrees from Harvard and studies at the MIT Media Lab. She co-founded privacy-focused StartMail, co-authored the bestseller Spychips, has testified before lawmakers, and hosts a syndicated radio show—arguing for decades that RFID, browser dominance, and AI are tools of mass surveillance.

Matt Raad, alongside his wife Liz, is a pioneer in turning digital assets—especially websites—into high-cash-flow, low-risk, location-independent businesses. With 30 years of buy-and-renovate experience in both bricks-and-mortar and online businesses, Matt now teaches beginners and pros how to build income and freedom by acquiring and improving profitable websites, even without tech expertise. At the eBusiness Institute, they've helped thousands transition from 9-to-5 or career burnout into “digital real estate” investing. Matt walks through his unconventional path: from university zoology to owning a manufacturing business, then pivoting to online businesses after enduring years of low cash flow and inventory headaches. He explains why pure online businesses (vs. brick and mortar or physical inventory) offer better margins, less risk, and true freedom—recounting how buying underperforming websites allowed instant access to global markets from a laptop in rural Australia. The “buy and renovate” strategy: how to spot, assess, and grow small cash-flowing websites into greater income using real estate-inspired due diligence and systems honed from physical business deals. Why new investors should skip e-commerce/physical products; instead, start with small, content/affiliate/ad-based sites bought for under $1,000, and practice due diligence on cash flow, traffic, and simple site renovation. The key skills for beginners: building a basic website (WordPress), understanding monetization (ads, affiliates, lead gen), and learning how to investigate financial claims and traffic data before buying—a process Matt's team teaches in free masterclasses. Real-world case studies: from a $400 niche gardening blog turned into $4,000/month, to a portfolio approach that delivers $5K–$10K semi-passive income with less risk and capital than almost any offline business. The lowest-risk, most scalable entry point for career changers, families, or side hustlers who want cash flow without the “big bet” on inventory, rent, or employees. 1.  Buying and renovating digital real estate (websites) is a proven shortcut to flexible, location-free income—and is accessible to complete beginners who learn the right skills and start small.2.  The number one mistake to avoid: underestimating the complexity, risk, and cash drain of inventory-heavy or brick-and-mortar businesses; digital offers higher margins and exponential leverage for less initial investment.3.  Success in online business is replicable—just focus on practical skills (website building, due diligence, simple renovations) and leverage mentors or proven processes, rather than trying to reinvent the wheel. “Websites are the ultimate low-risk side hustle: low startup costs, instant global reach, and no stock or shipping nightmares.” “If you want out of the 9-to-5, start with a small content site (ads/affiliate/lead gen), practice due diligence, and learn by doing—there's no better ROI for beginners.” “Think of websites as digital property—buy below value, renovate for cash flow, and watch the compounding effects add up.” Main site and training: eBusinessInstitute.com.au (masterclasses, free guides) Podcast and success stories: Digital Investors Podcast LinkedIn: Matt Raad Blog & strategies: mattandlizraad.com ✖️✖️✖️✖️
