TechSpective Podcast Episode 063 What is a hacker? This is a question that has been debated for decades in the cybersecurity arena.

Ever wonder how Netflix became the giant it is today?   In this episode, we are chatting with Marc Randolph, co-founder and first CEO of Netflix. Marc is a veteran Silicon Valley entrepreneur, advisor, and investor. As founding CEO of Netflix, he laid much of the groundwork for a service that’s grown to 150 million subscribers and fundamentally altered how the world experiences media.   Marc’s career as an entrepreneur spans four decades. He’s founded or co-founded six other successful startups, mentored hundreds of early-stage entrepreneurs, and as an investor has helped seed dozens of successful tech ventures. Most recently, he co-founded analytics software company Looker Data Sciences, where he now serves as director. Outside of the tech and startup world, Marc sits on numerous other company boards and is an outdoors enthusiast.   In this episode, we discuss how Marc started his career, his wilderness experiences that shaped his leadership style, and the importance of experimentation. We’ll also talk about why there’s no such thing as a ‘perfect’ idea, how Netflix rose to dominance, and Marc’s perspective on the importance of culture.  Sponsored by -    Restream.

Silberg and Egan and Why There is a Tort of Bad Faith https://zalma.com/blog In Silberg v. California Life Ins. Co., 11 Cal. 3d 452 (1974), the insurer advertised an accident policy with the phrase “Protect Yourself Against the Medical Bills That Can Ruin You.” It issued an accident policy to Mr. Silberg. The policy excluded injuries covered by workers' compensation. Silberg was injured while performing incidental services at his place of employment. His employer's compensation carrier denied coverage. Mr. Silberg found himself with substantial medical bills which California Life also refused to pay. Many courts recommend that the two insurers attempt to agree to share the costs equally and work out their differences later. If such an agreement cannot be reached then the company you represent should front the money under a reservation of rights, take an assignment from the insured, and sue, in the insured's name, the other insurer for all the money paid plus damages incurred by the insured. In Egan v. Mutual of Omaha Insurance Company Egan was allowed to retain both compensatory and punitive damages as a result of the bad faith conduct of the insurer since he was able to prove the four elements required by the Supreme Court because the insurer wrongfully accused him of fraud and cut off his disability payments. For the insurer to fulfill its obligation not to impair the right of the insured to receive the benefits of the agreement, it again must give at least as much consideration to the latter's interests as it does to its own. The insured in a contract like the one before us does not seek to obtain a commercial advantage by purchasing the policy, rather he seeks protection against calamity. An insurer is sometimes considered to be like a fiduciary, although it is never a fiduciary, to its insured. In Frommoethelydo v. Fire Insurance Exchange, 42 Cal. 3d. 208, 228 Cal. Rptr. 160 (1986), Mr. Frommoethelydo was arrested and tried on charges of insurance fraud, he was tried and acquitted. The Supreme Court found the failure of the insurer to investigate the basis of the acquittal was evidence of bad faith. © 2021 – Barry Zalma Barry Zalma, Esq., CFE, now limits his practice to service as an insurance consultant specializing in insurance coverage, insurance claims handling, insurance bad faith and insurance fraud almost equally for insurers and policyholders.

Black Friday is a huge opportunity to give your bottom line a shot in the arm and get your message or product in front of your customers. People are already in buying mode and eager to spend money.   Yet a lot of businesses hesitate to give their business that influx of cash because they believe one of the following myths:   My business isn’t the ‘right kind’ for a Black Friday campaign An effective Black Friday campaign requires rock-bottom pricing I have to create a brand new offer   It’s not as difficult as you may believe to craft an irresistible offer that compels people to buy. It doesn’t need to be new. And you absolutely do NOT need to “race to the bottom.”   This week’s episode is jam-packed with strategies you can use to create Black Friday campaigns from your current offers; with ideas for quickly creating new offers; and with real-life examples to tease your Black Friday offer in a way that creates scarcity and builds excitement for that influx of cash on Black Friday weekend.   Whether you need fresh inspiration to create this year’s Black Friday campaign, or just have no idea where to start with a Black Friday offer, find the answers you need in this week’s episode.   Avoiding The Race To The Bottom Slashing prices is the easiest way to create a Black Friday offer, but is it the best way? Not according to James! He actually calls it the WORST way. (What if you don’t have the margins to discount your products?) Creating a juicy and profitable Black Friday offer comes down to choosing something your customers want so badly, price becomes a non-issue. Catch this episode for examples of what that an offer like that can look like. Why There’s Still Time A killer Black Friday offer doesn’t mean you have to create entirely new products. That’s definitely a great option, but it’s not the only option. Consider a valuable live training--such as a masterclass--for anyone who buys a certain product. That product can be digital, but online trainings work great for physical products, too. Here’s Where To Start With Your Offer If you don’t yet have an offer together, first, sit down (with your team if you have one) and look at all the offers you DO have. What can you do with them? And make sure that whatever you’re doing, you’re equipped to handle the volume. Start mapping things out NOW, so you’re prepared for that influx. James and Dean go over this in more detail in the episode (including how to avoid aggravating your customers because you’re not prepared). Don’t Censor Your Ideas When you sit down to brainstorm, NEVER censor your ideas, or your team’s. Even if they seem beyond insane, let them fly. The point of brainstorming isn’t to share “the best” ideas. It’s to turn the creativity faucet on full-blast, which cannot happen if you’re judging your ideas. No, makeup brushes that include a hot pink zebra won’t be your winner, but it might trigger the WINNING idea for your Black Friday offer. Bring on those ideas! Build Excitement And Create Scarcity Dean and his wife have their cosmetic ecommerce company’s Black Friday campaign ready to go. It will be their third year running a Black Friday campaign, and they’ve got all sorts of strategies in play to create excitement and scarcity. There’s a LOT of great ideas you can model for your Black Friday campaign. Take notes on this part of the episode.

Sometimes we just don’t feel it. Why? There really isn’t an answer to that. What do you do when you just wake up and feel like your down and can’t really figure out why??

Big data and artificial intelligence offer a lot of promise, but there are also formidable challenges. Unless proved otherwise, perhaps we should consider these technologies dangerous, or at least potentially hostile. In Short Circuits: The Windows 10 October 2020 update is coming. It's available now only to those in the Windows Insider program, but it won't be long until it's pushed out to all users. It's a small update. • Support for Office 2010 ended on 13 October 2020. If you're thinking this is no big deal, think again. The end of support means the end of security updates and bug fixes. In Spare Parts (only on the website): Sometimes I get the crazy idea that there are scammers who intentionally create email messages with so many errors that no sentient human would fall for them. Why? There's no logical reason. • If you use Zoom or any other meeting application that supports background substitution, Tech Republic has some Halloween images you might like. • Twenty years ago: Security concerns in 2000 were not substantially different from what they are today. The players have changed, but many of the rules remain the same.

Show Up to Go UpEp 32 What vs Why and Can't vs Won'tWhat vs Why: There are BIG differences in what you do vs why you do something. The what is hollow. It has no meaning or reason behind it. Knowing why you do something is the intention and meaning. You are more likely do continue working toward your goals (and do a better job) when you know WHY you are doing something. "When you know your why, your what becomes more impactful because you're walking toward and in your purpose." -Michael Junior Here is a link to the youtube video I mention. Check it out, it's amazing! https://youtu.be/1ytFB8TrkToCant vs Won't: How many times do you say you cant do something when the truth is you can but you won't. There is a huge distinction between the two. A lot of times we say we can't be the reality is if it were important to us we would figure out a way to make it happen. And if it's not important that's okay but own it! Own your truth if you don't want to do something! But also don't make excuses for yourself that aren't true. Hold yourself accountable by knowing the difference and using the correct word when you can't vs won't.Thank you so much for tuning in!

Negativity permeates society. Why? There is a cause for every effect, and the cure for this effect is thankfulness.

Question: “Why do I have to sell my wholesale deal to a cash buyer?” Basically we do teach that you should sell your wholesale deals to a cash buyer. Why? There are a couple of reasons, and there was one point that I kind of preach against that but things are changing up a little bit... And also, nothing is impossible in this game. It really comes down to the marketplace and what the market has to say. ***Read FULL Details on our BLOG POST*** BLOG POST: https://myempirepro.com/blog/why-do-i-have-to-sell-my-wholesale-deal-to-a-cash-buyer BOOKS DOWNLOAD ➡️ http://SmartRealEstateWholesaling.com SUBSCRIBE ➡️ http://bit.ly/SubonYouTube BLOG POST - https://myempirepro.com/blog/ ABOUT YOUR HOST ::::| Ola "Tux" Abitogun is the Creator of myEmpirePRO and author of Smart Real Estate Wholesaling.

I was working with a client, I'll change things up a bit. Let's say they were interested in help people "Do More," or "Be More Productive." Who could use that content? College Students Parents There are many more, but let's limit the list to the two above.  You Need to KNOW your WHY? There are many reasons to start a podcast. These include: Being seen as an expert Getting to talk to people you normally wouldn't Growing influence Selling more products Getting your message out and more.. In this instance, the person wanted to make some money with their podcast by promoting some digital products. That's fine. Now let's look at our potential audience When it comes to college students vs Parents which one has more money?  Parents - hands down.  So who do you gear your content toward? Parents. Why? Because your "WHY" is to sell digital products and you have a better shot with parents.  If you don't achieve your why, you will get frustrated and quit.  Let's Brainstorm Together Sometimes you are too close to the forest to see the trees.

Can we please stop asking why? It's such a powerful word but only if the answer can be trusted. Any news story today is crafted to fit into a targeted audience. If you don't agree with the story then you'll find someone you trust. I listen to Rush Limbaugh and Chris Cuomo. Why? I love their completely opposite and points of view. I love talking with preachers and atheists. Two completely different walks of life. Why? There's a lot of trouble waiting for people during this addiction to the word why. We're being led by misguided truth. Everybody has an answer when asked why. We have chosen to pick up a brilliant share of know it all.

Even if you have been in the industry for a while, you might listen as a refresher or share with someone you are mentoring.  If you are in sales or thinking about going into sales, I’ve included a few extra nuggets for you towards the end. Since the core of this podcast is why the insurance industry is a great place for a career, I thought I’d take the question and offer some ideas. If you are listening to this and have other ideas, let me know and if I get enough of them, I’ll put together another episode on the topic. I passed my exam, now what Did you get your license before you were hired? Congratulations, a lot of people don’t do this, they get their license once they’ve been hired. I know some investment firms hire you and give you the first 90 days to get your license completed. That will put you behind the 8 ball because those 90 days could have been used for prospecting, and a good sales person will understand this. If you are someone that has chosen a career in insurance, getting licensed is the first step. No matter what direction you go with your career, it’s a big learning curve. The licensing portion is only the basics. A lot of what you learn in the licensing process is not what you will be dealing with in the real world. If you are headed into sales, you need to focus on the sales process first, but I would recommend that you take some other classes about 3-6 months into your career to expand your knowledge. Work towards a certification. It will set you apart from those that haven’t furthered their education,  many but more importantly, it definitely expands your knowledge base. It’s often a way to fast track the OJT. One little nugget Share about your license. Over the years I’ve seen many agents trust their employer with handling their license, from making sure they renewed it to making sure their CE’s were completed. The agents just went about their day to day duties until one day they realized their license had expired or they didn’t do their CE’s and then chaos sets in. My suggestion is that you stay on top of when you need you do your CE’s and your renewal and that you process your license renewal, don’t let your agency or employer be responsible for this.. You worked hard to get your license and you don’t want to take any chances.  Over the years I’ve had a few friends lose their license because they thought their employer had taken care of things, and they didn’t! Nobody wants to go through the licensing process twice! Now that you are licensed, let’s talk about working in the property / casualty side of the house.  CAREER OPPORTUNITIES For today, we'll focus on the agency side of things, not the insurance company side. Most insurance company personnel don’t have to have their license because they aren’t selling anything. At least that is what I think. I’ve never worked on the carrier side, so if I’m wrong, I know someone will correct me and I’ll update the show notes! On the agency side you work for a Direct Writer or an Independent Agency  Personal lines - protecting cars, homes, trucks, motorcycles, campers, boats, You might provide insurance for special art pieces or airplanes, you might need to protect their household staff or international travel needs. Depending on the market you live and work, some of these accounts can be over $10,000 and I’ve seen them over $100k. Some agencies have high net worth divisions that focus on the individuals that have a lot of assets that need protecting. Commercial lines - this is primarily business insurance. Look around you at where you eat, your gym, office buildings, amusement parks and contractors. Special events, franchises and medical facilities all fall into this category. In my opinion, it’s good to specialize in something. If you’ve listened to other episodes,  you’ve heard me say that I specialized in construction contractors when I was selling. At one time I knew every electrical contractor in town because of a special program we had.  Here's how unique the business can be: I heard a really cool story recently and it's how you can make insurance as interesting or as boring as you want. A friend of mine, also an insurance agent, has a client that does a big convention every year. All I know is that it is really big and it makes the client almost 90% of their annual revenue. Each year, they purchase event insurance. This year, as the agent was negotiating the coverage and premium, he kept asking for more coverages. The premium got up to close to $200k for this event.  Since the premium was so high, the agent started asking for everything to be thrown in to be covered. Even pandemic insurance! Not having any clue that we’d be having a pandemic. The policy was written last fall so the pandemic wasn’t even on the radar. His client's event is cancelled. The client is going to receive close to $40 million dollars because of what the agent negotiated. While this is an abbreviated version of the story, it’s an example of a few things in the industry that you’ll learn over time. One, everything is negotiable, you just need to know what to ask for, Two, every risk is different which makes the business so interesting. Whether you are dealing with a special event or insuring a doctors office, you’l have different insurance protections that you’ll want to discuss and that in my opinion is what makes this a great business. Personally, I'm a fan of the commercial side because it’s what I’ve always known and where I’ve always worked. There’s a need for people in both sides of the house and you just need to find a place that you feel comfortable and enjoy.  Let’s talk about the types of places you can work. We have Direct Writers and Independent Agencies Direct writer - someone that works for a company that only represents one company.  Allstate / State Farm / Farmers / Liberty Independent agent - represent multiple companies Small agency Large agency - Willis Tower Watson Consortium - HUB International National NFP Next I want to talk about some of the positions that you’d find on the agency side. The direct writer has a few of these but the independent agent has more of them. The direct writers often received these services from the home office. Sales: There’s inside sales and outside sales; Inside you might be responsible for selling to anyone who calls in or you might be responsible for making cold calls. Some of the bigger agencies might even have a call center, but I’m not a fan of those. I realize it’s a way of running a business, but there’s no personalization there. If you want to build a book of clients that you’ll have with you throughout your career, a call center isn’t the place to be looking!  Most of the time, but not always, personal lines is more of an inside sales position and commercial or business insurance sales is out of the office.   CSR / Account Manager:  Someone that manages the paperwork or client requests, policy changes, reviewing the policies when issued by the carrier.  Some sales might be expected but in many agencies, not required. Many agency principals wish their CSR’s would sell more, but the CSR doens’t usually think of themselves as a salesperson, so this is often a challenge for agency owners. Listen to episode 21 titled Steady Sales with Sheldon Snodgrass. We talk about the concept of helping CSR’s mindset.  There's underwriting i.e. looking at a risk and pricing it. Not done too much on the smaller agency side but larger agencies often have this capacity. There’s pricing policies using rating tools which are mostly online today but larger accounts also have pricing flexibility that smaller accounts don’t have, so larger agencies will often have some underwriters on staff for this purpose.  Marketing: two types on the agency side - and many direct writers don’t have this, it’s mostly on the independent side -  Marketing accounts to the insurance company Marketing the agency - someone who manages the social media, advertising, website, etc. This is a newer role on the agency side, but a critical one. Most of the direct writers do this for their agents Claims: Some agencies have a separate claims department. They want to manage the claim process and have the information flow through the agency before reaching the  insurance company. Some agencies have the ability to pay small checks on their own rather than having to wait for the insurance company to investigate which makes it easier for the insured to get back o their feet.  This varies from agency to agency, city to city and carrier to carrier. Loss control or risk management:  Often times larger agencies will have one or two loss control people on staff. This is a little more of a specialty position but one that is very valuable for agents to provide their clients. For example, a restaurant might need a loss control person to help them with purchasing the proper equipment for safety, for training staff on safety measures or to implement proper protections in the restaurant.  Life & Health: Some property and casualty agencies will also have a life and health division. I’ll talk more about that in another episode, but it’s an option.  As you can see, there are a lot of choices to consider if you want to work in the property/casualty side of the industry.  Insurance companies have similar types of positions. When you work for the insurance company your client is usually the agents, not the consumer. This isn’t the case 100% of the time because if you work for someone like GEICO or USAA, you are selling to the consumer YOU HAVE OPTIONS What I really want to leave you with here is that there are many options. If you are in a position that you don’t like, it shouldn’t be the end of your insurance career. Look for other opportunities like I’ve described here to consider. This industry needs young blood…...don’t give up too fast! There’s one other area I want to cover before I end today's episode and I alluded to it earlier in the episode.   Since many people are attracted to the industry because of sales, I’m going to add some ideas for you to think about while you are still studying for your exam. Outside Sales If you know you will be selling…..start talking about what you are getting into with your friends and family before you even take the exam. Don’t sell anything because that’s illegal, but start talking about it. Also, create your marketing plan. Too many people wait until they are licensed to think about this and you’ve wasted too much time already on prospecting.  A few things you can be doing:. Start building your linkedin connections Start setting up relationships with strategic partners Get involved with a networking group or start your own If your end game plan is to have your own agency, I would recommend that you work for someone for at least 2 years first. Why? There's a lot to learn! Over the years, I’ve taught classes on starting a business and that alone is a big learning curve, plus learning about the industry. Get some experience then think about going out on your own. It’s a lot easier to get carrier contracts today than it was 20 years ago, but there’s nothing better than having a track record when you make the leap!  Find someone with a training program  (pros/cons of going alone) Find someone that will give you some ownership if you make your numbers  Once you decide you want to work in the sales side of the insurance industry, start your marketing that day. Here's two books to get you started: Book Yourself Solid - Gets you thinking about what you are selling and what your messaging is It talks about some simple, effective ways to meet people It works Never Eat Alone - This book isn’t that much different than Book Yourself Solid with the exception that it get’s you thinking about who you know, which you’ll need that list when you start selling, and how to build your network. The reality is, why eat alone if you can eat with someone and potentially create business opportunities.  There are a lot of good books out there but these are two of my favorites. If you are going solo and opening  your own business, I would also suggest you read the E-Myth Revisited. It will get your business mindset off to the right start! Just substitute insurance when they say baker and it will make a lot of sense! That wraps it up for this episode. I hope you’ve taken away a few ideas that you can implement.

On today’s show we’re going to take a brief history lesson for the year 2020. We saw the first outbreaks of the pandemic in China, followed by countries where the infection had spread. These included Korea, Italy, Japan, Spain and France. Soon after followed Switzerland, Belgium, Sweden, the US and Canada. For much of the Winter and early Spring, North America was about 3 weeks behind what was happening in Europe. Critics in North America tended to dismiss what was happening in Italy as something that was specific to Italy. It won’t happen here in the US or Canada because Italy has an older population. It won’t happen in Canada because there is less population density. It won’t happen in the midwest of the US because there is already social distancing built into the way people live. Yet, there is a trend in almost every conversation...and that is the person agrees that the pandemic is a problem, but it won’t be a problem here. Why? There’s always a reason, until they’re wrong. At the other end of the spectrum, there are those who say there was no need for a large scale lockdown. The number of cases didn’t explode in their community and the damage to the economy was needless. So here we are again, with a near doubling of new cases in France and Spain in a very short time period. Many European countries have implemented new travel restrictions based on the increased number of new infections. Spanish authorities have flagged social gatherings—in nightclubs and among family and friends—as the primary source of infection. In France, high-risk workplaces and medical facilities have been the top sites for disease clusters. I was reflecting on those situations when I used to catch a cold. So far this year, I have not caught a cold. The last cold I caught was in July of 2019 when I attended a wedding. I haven’t had one since. Before the pandemic, I rarely used to catch a cold. If I did, it was because my children brought it home from school. Sometimes I would catch a cold from attending a conference, or perhaps someone seated nearby on an aircraft was coughing and sneezing. Catching a cold required contact with those who are infected. I know I’m not telling you anything earth shattering. So now, we have schools going back into session. Some schools have already started holding in person classes. We have differing protocols from one school board to the next. Some schools are requiring children to wear masks. Others have established plastic partitions in the classroom. Others are reducing class time to three days a week. Some have chosen a mix of hybrid online and classroom teaching. Some schools have reduced the number of subjects being taught at a time. The hope is that by concentrating the full year math course into a full-day 6 week period, the amount of social interaction will be reduced. These measures might help. But it’s fair to say that we are heading for another wave of increased covid-19 infection. Where this will hit, and when, or how broadly is anyone’s guess. Just like in the Spring of this year, we looked to Europe to see our future. I’m going on record, right here, right now as predicting that we will see another wave of infections. Those businesses that rely upon social gathering or movement of people will take another hit. That means a further setback for travel, hospitality, food and beverage, car rentals, and live entertainment. Some geographic areas have the core of their economy built on tourism. I’m thinking of places like Las Vegas, Orlando, many islands in the Caribbean, coastal beach towns. These sectors of the economy are going to be hit again. If you want to see your future, look ahead to Europe.

In my final "Three Men of Color, Reinventing Fatherhood" series, I interviewed Ken Harge, who grew up with a father who was a bully. He says writing saved his life. Ken (or KLH to his friends) was born and raised in Waterbury, Connecticut, “a big city with a knucklehead mindset,” as he puts it. Although his childhood lacked love and nurturing, he has transformed himself into becoming a highly creative, grounded, and self-aware person who believes his difficult childhood had a reason. Ken knows he is here for something great.With a book, one-person play, blog, and other creative projects in his back pocket, he is creating a symphony during COVID called “The Healing.” He describes himself as a guy with a lot of opinions about what’s going on in the world today and he’s not afraid to share them.As a Black man, he has found it heartbreaking to see Black people dying at the hands of police. He is offended when people say or imply that there is no systemic racism.“All lives matter is almost profane because with very little exception, that tells people to shut up, forget what you’re seeing, and move on.” He views “all lives matter” as a cowardly way to say that what Black people feel doesn’t matter.When I interviewed him, Ken was working on an article called “The Notion of Superiority” based on the work of Walter Rodney, a prominent historian with a Ph.D. in African history. Rodney wrote, “The simple fact is that no people can enslave another for four centuries without coming out with a notion of superiority...” Ken elaborates on this concept, making some profound points:“Some white people complain about protesters rioting and looting, but don’t recognize the reasons why they protest. They say it’s inappropriate and violent. But when Colin Kaepernick peacefully protested police brutality against Black folk, many white people complained about that too. They presumed to be in a position to tell Black folk how they can and cannot express their grievances. Why? There is a ‘notion of superiority.’ Just like a stench that has floated in the air long enough to get used to it, the ‘notion of superiority’ continues to waft in American air...There have been riots, laws passed and enacted, and there has been some positive change. But we still haven’t addressed the stink drifting in the air all around us and so we collectively breathe in the ‘notion of superiority’ of white folk over Black folk..."He’s used the difficult experiences in his life (including the difficult relationship with his father) to write a one-man play, “You Are Here for Something Great,” and then he wrote a full-length novel based on the play. Right now he’s creating a course to help men develop their self-esteem. “I think men having self-esteem can literally change the face of the planet,” says Ken. “If men have self-esteem, they don’t smack their wives. They don’t abuse their children. They don’t go out into the street and do violence. I think they don’t even do terrorism. I think it’s only broken men who do those things...It’s never been safe in this world for men to have feelings. We’re taught to suppress them.”He firmly believes that everything happens for a reason. “If I’d had a lovely supportive mother and father, I would not have turned out to be the creative person I am...I can speak to hurt people, and they know I understand,” he says. “I can speak to lonely people, and they know I know what it is. So it’s all been for a reason.”Although Ken always wanted to have children, it wasn’t in the cards. So about 10 years ago, he felt called to volunteer with Big Brothers Big Sisters of America. He mentored a young man named Prince. Many years later, Prince turned his life around, is gainfully employed, and recently paid Ken a visit in his new car. Helping this young man create a better life for himself is Ken’s proudest moment.

“Brand is what people think of you when you're out of the room." - Harlan Schillinger Why was Harlan so insistent on monitoring his clients’ calls before agreeing to work with them? How can smaller law firms compete with the incumbent "fat cats"? Why won't this legal marketing veteran ever truly retire? How can brand and communication take you from churn & burn to referral role model? Why There's No Substitute For Focusing on Your Firm as a Business Legal industry veteran Harlan Schillinger has weathered more than a few market downturns, and he believes right now is a fertile ground for great growth. His advice? Don't panic — get crystal clear. Harlan explains what law firms need to be doing now to thrive, from hacking your internal processes to kickstarting your cash flow and settling cases in the most productive, absolute manner. Make Your Brand Deliver: How To Turn the Client Churn and Burn Around For Harlan, brand is everything: it's what people think of you when you're not in the room, it's what you stand for, and it's a lot more than just a logo. In fact, he goes as far as to say your message means NOTHING if you can't properly express it. Michael and Harlan explore concrete tactical approaches for branding and marketing for firms of all sizes, including building a steadfast company culture, crafting your messaging, and transforming client churn and burn into real referrals. Why Attorneys Need to Get Over Their Social Media Phobia Attorneys have been looking at social media all wrong, and Harlan's here to tell you why (your transactional mindset might have a lot to do with it). Social media is here to stay — so if you haven't got your head in the game, then you need to call on some experts to show you the way. Harlan explains the truth about tracking your intake, why your vital social media presence is the key to delivering credibility day in & day out, and why you should never ask, "How did you hear about us?" Key takeaways: Your problem isn't your leads. Poor knowledge of your own case management system and a lack of intake and conversion metrics might be the real reason why your leads seem like duds! Harlan gives us his insights into what the best firms do right. Team above all. Particularly in times of adversity, you need to pull your key people together, listen to your team, and let common sense rule. As Harlan says, you'll never win the Superbowl unless you have a great team and they're all working together. The power of word of mouth. Good news for the up-and-coming firms: according to Harlan Schillinger, if you haven't got a huge marketing budget, word of mouth still rules. He details how to craft a message of compassion, drum up more business, and keep in touch with people strategically — all in the pursuit of great cases.

A lot of times it seems that being healthy takes a lot of work. This episode begins with some really simple things you can do that will help your overall health that just take a minute and hardly any effort at all. http://www.menshealth.com/health/ways-to-be-healthier Why does time only go in one direction? Every moment we move into the future, but we cannot go back into the past. Why not? And what about intelligent life on other planets – or traveling to other planets or even other galaxies. Will people really do that in our lifetime? Here to discuss these big questions is Paul Sutter. He is an astrophysicist at Stony Brook University, host of the Ask a Spaceman podcast (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ask-a-spaceman/id958825741) and author of the book How to Die in Space (https://amzn.to/3iXh9rP). The snooze on just about every alarm clock is 9 minutes. Not 10 – not 8 but 9. Why? There is actually a really interesting reason and I explain it in this episode. https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/22761/why-does-snooze-button-give-you-only-9-more-minutes-sleep Apologizing is something we all have to do, yet I suspect you never had any formal instruction on how to deliver a good apology. When you think about it, a good apology can save a relationship or at least make it so everyone doesn’t feel so horrible about whatever went wrong. Molly Howes is a Harvard trained clinical psychologist and author of the book A Good Apology: Four Steps to Make Things Right (https://amzn.to/3euUzmN) and she joins me to offer some excellent advice on how to apologize to make everyone feel better.  Learn more about your ad choices.

I've been asked this questions in a few interviews. As there are no rules and you can do anything you want in a podcast, are there are any Podcasting Best Practices? Well as we all see podcasting through many different lenses I thought I would share my opinion on the best practices. Have a Topic You Are Passionate About, as in REALLY Passionate about.  Next week you will hear Jamie from Horses in the morning talk about her L O V E of horses. In the past I have said you need the passion that a sixteen year old boy has for getting his driver's license. WHY: Because when you first start out, it will be awkward, and you will still be getting comfortable behind the mic. You will have next to no audience and it is soul crushing to put that much work into something and have next to nobody listen to it. When you have that passion, you will talk about it even if nobody is listening.  Know Your Target Audience I know, "But Dave you just said I don't have an audience." I know, but who is the person that should love this content. Also, I don't mean "34-48 year old Women. That is identify who they are. I mean KNOW THEM. Go hang out with them, and find out what makes them tick.  WHY: One of the biggest fears is sounding stupid. How do you avoid this? By knowing what your audience needs (we cover this in the planning your content course, as well as "Content is King" course).  Know WHY You're Podcasting Every podcaster says "It takes more time than I thought" when you start a podcast (for the record it takes more time than you thought for many things if you think about it). Starting a podcast is easy. Start is GOOD podcast can tricky. You've identified who your audience is, and what your topic is, but the why can help shape the content. If you're trying to keep your brand in front of your potential customer you might do three five minute podcasts a week. If you want to be seen as an expert, maybe you do a weekly 20-minute show where you answer a question. If you're trying to grow your network, maybe you do interviews with other people in your field.  WHY: When you start to achieve your goal, it puts gas in your tank. If you are NOT achieving your goal you know you need to adjust the content or turn up the marketing.  Get The Best Equipment You Can Afford I typically say you can sound pretty good for the price of an Xbox (about $300). By the time you get a microphone and some sort of interface, etc. You're looking between $70-$300 depending on how many co-hosts you have, etc.  WHY: Look at the top 200 shows in Apple and see how many were recorded using their phone (although you can make "OK" recording with your phone when used correctly).  Have A General Idea Of How a Podcast Works I've been driving since I was 16. While I don't know enough about my car to work on it. I do know enough to do some basic troubleshooting.  WHY: By understanding the mechanics of a podcast you can avoid a lot of unnecessary panic when your episode doesn't appear in an app a few minutes after you press publish.  It's YOUR Show Aisha Tyler said at Podcast Movement one of the biggest reason she loved her podcast was because it was HERS. Don't interview people if you're not sure they are a good fit. If you don't want to talk about a topic, don't. If you do want to talk about a topic - do. It's your show.  Make Yourself Available Everywhere I talked about this in the episode about growing your downloads, WHY: A boss walks into the board room and says, "I just heard this (insert name) podcast on the way in it was great. Everyone pulls out their phone but some people subscribe on Apple, Google, Spotify, Overcast, Stitcher, etc.  Don't Pick a Release Date Until Your In All the Apps I had this happen to me. My new show Grow Your Community was in Apple, but NOT in Overcast (even though Overcast pulls from Apple). In the same way that bands in the 80's wouldn't pick a date for their CD release party until they had the CD in their hand, don't pick your "Launch" date until your show is available to SUBSCRIBE.  Be Appropriate but also you might consider if you're going to swear or not in your show. When you do you get pulled from India and other countries. I actually listened to the "Losing 100 Pounds" podcast and the host dropped an F-bomb in the first 15 seconds. This was followed by a flurry of other no safe for kids type of language. About 20 minutes she finally mentioned that she curses like a sailor and if you don't like that you should tune out. I'm no prude, but she sounded like a 13-year-old out behind the barn seeing how many swear words she could work into a sentence.  Again, it's HER show she can do whatever she wants. There were MANY 1 star reviews that just said the swearing was over the top.  Edit Your Podcast There are editors for newspapers, magazines, books, TV, movies, but you are the person on the planet that everything that comes out of your mouth is perfect. Really? Radio people can not believe people who choose to "keep it real" and just publish as-is. You have the opportunity to make yourself (your guest) sound better. If nothing else, edit one or two episodes, and if you hate it, pay someone to edit it for you. By editing a few episodes you will be willing to pay someone as it is time-consuming and you will appreciate the job they do. Get Honest Feedback I get it. It's your art. You worked hard on it. You might be afraid to get some feedback. Some really are looking for agreement on everything they've done when they ask for feedback. They don't want to change (cause as we mentioned, when you first start it takes time). However, feedback can steer your podcast in the right direction so you can help achieve your goal. Last week I talked about how I got feedback on my music and most people didn't like it. It didn't crush me. I listened to their reasons, saw their point, and changed my music.  I listened to a podcast today where a school had launched a podcast, got some feedback, and then changed the name, changed the intro, changed the artwork and got amazing results.  Be Consistent Pick a schedule and stick with it. Also, be consistent in quality. If you go to a McDonald's in one town and have a hamburger, fly across the country and have another one they taste the same. Sure it's unhealthy, but the taste is consistent.  Don't Use Unlicensed Music No, you can't play Taylor Swift. Nope. But what about?? No. No. No. No. What about 10 seconds? No. they are cracking down on this HARD right now.  You Only Need ONE Episode To Launch Your first recording will not be as good as your second. Consequently don't release everything you record. Some people think you record 10 episodes and release them at once so people can really connect with you. WHY: Rob Walch VP at Libsyn.com (the oldest, largest media host) said at a conference in Australia (online) that people lack any feedback. If someone gets feedback on episode three but has seven more episodes recorded and set to publish, the listener has to wait for eight episodes to hear any changes based on their feedback.  Focus On Your Audience  and Don't Compare Yourself To Others We talked about knowing your audience, now that you know what they want your show is about THEM, and your WHY. Don't get distracted by what other people are doing, how much money they are making, focus on your audience. If you find yourself thinking about a similar show and it upsets you, drop it and focus on your audience. Get Your Attitude in Check Podcasting is a LONG game. It is a marathon not a sprint (years not months). Also remember, you don't have to make money with your podcast. Be Open To New Experiences We mentioned being open to feedback, but also open to partnering with other podcasts, trying new segments, trying new marketing strategies. If your show isn't giving you what you want, then try something new. Have A Website and Control Your Show You control our website. If the latest social network gets canceled, people will know to find you on our website. Never let a media host (Anchor) submit your show "for you" to directories so that you maintain control of your show.  Google Wants Good Content Google wants to deliver great search results to its customers so give it something people will find valuable. Have a good description with enough words (at least 300) to attack Google. While you want to pay attention to keywords, you also want to be appropriate. Use headings to breaking up long posts.  It's All About Subscribers We mentioned "being everywhere" but that doesn't help if you make it hard (find me in Apple) to subscribe to your show. Have buttons on your site to share your show and subscribe.  Promote Your Show Use social media and any other tools that will help you get your podcast in front of your target audience.  WHY: There are over one million podcasts in Apple podcasts. If you think Apple will make you famous, then you should be famous from being in the phone book.  Pay Attention to Your Media Host In general, the media hosts I recommend have some sort of podcast to keep you informed of updates to their technology and news to what is going on in the podcasting space.  If You're Looking to Monetize - Start an Email List While social media may be all the buzz, when it comes to getting people to click on something, hands down Sendfox email is better. I use.  Also, if you're looking to monetize, selling your own product is the best way, but most podcasters who are looking to monetize have multiple streams of income.  Final Thoughts If you can't seem to pull the trigger, you are probably overthinking it.  When in doubt, ask your audience.  Ready To Start You Podcast?

Study Guide Shabbat 107 Today's daf is sponsored by Dr. Robin Zeiger and Professor Jonathan Ben-Ezra in honor of their daughter Bracha, of whom they are so proud that she is giving a siyum on Maseachet Taanit. And by Lillian Cohen in memory of her father Kurt Philipp, David ben Tzvi, z"l on what would have been his 91st birthday. And in honor of Father's Day by Carolyn Benger in honor of her father, Bernhard Benger (Dov ben Zvi). "He was my first teacher and opened my eyes to Torah. I miss you everyday, Daddy, and am thinking of you this Father's Day." And in honor of Paul Gompers, an exemplary Dad in every way. Love, Sivan, Annika and Zoe. And in honor of Adam Cohen from his children. Your dedication to learning Daf Yomi as well as living a true Torah lifestyle is truly inspiring. We love you so much. Love, Max Hannah Sam and Celia. If an animal or bird are already captured, one can prevent it from getting out and keep it captured. What are the three known cases where the tannaim say "one is exempt" and they mean that it is permitted even by Torah law? According to the mishna, if one captures one of the eight creeply crawling creatures listed in the Torah (whose dead bodies carry impurities) or injures it, one is obligated and any others one is exempt. Why? There is a debate in the gemara whether this is only according to Rabbi Yochanan ben Nuri or the rabbis also? Rav thinks it is also the rabbis (they only disagree regarding impurity, not Shabbat). The gemara questions this opinion from two tanaitic sources which imply that they disagree also about Shabbat. From where do we learn what defines "an injury" that one would be obligated for? Other creatures according to the mishna, one is exempt for capturing or injuring - this would imply that they would be obligated for killing them. Is that a subject of debate or do all agree? If one captures a creature not for its own purpose but to prevent it from bothering or some other reason, one is exempt, according to the mishna. This is according to Rabbi Shimon who exempt in a case of melacha seaina tzricha legufa.

Click here to listen to the full interview with SasStr's Jason Lemkin https://tcrn.ch/2TPZ7vKWith the markets in turmoil and fear running rampant through the global economy, you might not think that it’s a great time to start a company. According to at least one well-known venture capitalist, however, it’s a great time to start up.TechCrunch recently caught up with former founder and active venture capitalist Jason Lemkin to chat about the world of software-as-service companies, better known by their acronym moniker “SaaS.” Lemkin swung by TC HQ in San Francisco to spend some time with the Equity crew to discuss all things SaaS, markets, and startups.Long-time Equity listeners will recall that this is not the first or even second time that we’ve had Lemkin on. He was, after all, our first guest, and a repeat for Episode 100. But as it’s Equity’s third birthday, and his SaaStr conference was just around the corner (now postponed), we had Lemkin back to dig deep into one of our favorite startup categories.So let’s get nerdy about SaaS.Is now a good time?After the jump you can listen to the full audio from our interview (it’s a little over 45 minutes, so feel free to download it and take it with you; there’s an excerpt in the main Equity feed as well). But I wanted to share my favorite portion of the chat with everyone, even if you’re not part of Extra Crunch.When we spoke to Lemkin the stock market had taken lumps, albeit nothing quite like we’ve seen in the last week. Still, when we asked about the potential for a cloud slowdown, Lemkin was not convinced that a secular cloud slowdown (as SaaS’s penetration into enterprise IT spend, it’s growth rate will slow) would be bad for startups operating as part of the modern, subscription software movement.Why? There’s so much spend left to build for that there’s lots to build. And, perhaps more importantly, incumbents SaaS firms are so large now that they can afford to let smaller companies get pretty damn big before they pay attention. “All the SaaS leaders,” according to Lemkin, “are at a billion, two billion, [...] in ARR. The Zendesks, the Shopifys, the Hubspots. And they don’t have time” to bother with small companies. Before, in his telling, a $5 million ARR SaaS company would have raised competitive eyebrows from market leaders. Today that bar has been raised to as high as $100 million.That’s good news for your local startup scene. Hit the clip if you’ve had a long, hard week and want some optimism:As you can see, I initially missed his point about market size, and what the growing cloud pie means for startups. But by the end I’d come around: Because the big SaaS companies need to add $100 million, $200 million, or even $300 million in revenue each year, small software startups just don’t scan. Think of it as temporary invisibility for all SaaS startups until you’re probably too big to stop.In the full interview we also went over Jason’s current venture fund, investing cadence, discussed vertical SaaS, his advice for the middle class of SaaS, how to think about venture debt, SaaS consolidation, software in India, and the Slack versus Microsoft scrap. It’s a lot of fun, so let’s get into it.

it's not cheap or easy to get your iPhone repaired - largely because there's not a lot of real competition in the iPhone repair market. That's no accident. Owners of modern John Deere tractors have really only one option: John Deere. Why? There's no good technical reason. There's really no good legal reason either, but laws like the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) have been abused to give these companies inordinate say over who can perform repairs on their products. In part 2 of my interview with the EFF's Cory Doctorow, we discuss the right to repair and wrap up our overall discussion with possible solutions and action items for the concerned consumer. Cory Doctorow is a science fiction author, activist, journalist and blogger. He’s the author of several novels including HOMELAND, LITTLE BROTHER and WALKAWAY.

Today our expert guest is Liz Kislik, a frequent contributor to Harvard Business Review, Forbes, and Entrepreneur. She consults for clients such as American Express, Orvis, the Girl Scouts, Comcast, Jansen Pharmaceuticals, and Highlights for Children. Her specialty is developing high-performing leaders and workforces. She has taught at Hofstra University and New York University. Her TED Talk, Why There's So Much Conflict at Work and What You Can Do to Fix It has been viewed over 150 thousand times. She got into conflict at work as a specialty accidentally. She always wanted to make things work better, and conflict is a part of life, so if you want things to work better you have to deal with it at some point. The conflict at work hasn't changed much over the last 10 years, except that we are now dealing with more and different channels of communication. It is harder to read tone in email, text, or on social media. You are best off avoiding conflict on social media as much as possible, despite seeing a lot of it on there. One thing we are seeing play a role in the workplace conflict is confirmation bias or echo chambers. This means that you are surrounding yourself with like-minded people and only emphasizing what is already in your head, and strengthening your rejection of outside ideas. Here are just a few things you can do to manage conflict in your life: Conflict in business is part of your job. It's your job to figure out what happened and how to work through it. Don't ignore it, and don't issue threats. If an employee is not willing to work through conflict appropriately, they can do major harm to your business. Start in an open-minded way and find out how you got to where you are. Assume the person is not the problem. Be self-aware. Ask permission to bring up difficult topics.   If you visit Liz's office, there is a free ebook on how to resolve interpersonal conflict at work.   The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway “There is almost always something you can do. We are rarely as trapped as we feel we are, even when there are structural problems. Taking the moment to be self-aware, to self-regulate, and then to think, “What is the best thing I can do now?” There is almost always something, even if it's deciding that you have to wait for a better opportunity. We are rarely powerless.”   --   Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

Relationship-Based Business Strategist Are you ready to create a Relationship-Based Business Plan that will help you achieve greater impact (and income)? You want to have a greater impact and increased income. The problem is that there are so many options for how to build your business that you can feel stuck, overwhelmed, and like you're running out of time. The reason options are overwhelming is that you're looking at them as a series of disconnected steps when -- to make the most of your time -- you need a strategy that connects only the most important and highest impact ones. Why? Because you know it's true that if you try to do everything, you will accomplish nothing. This means,

How we turned autism, our own health and relationships around and how you can do the same. 24-year old Jasmine LaRouque went from unhealthy, bed-ridden with depression, an infant and a newly diagnosed child with autism to INVINCIBLE and an autism turnaround expert within one year after meeting me.Carol Chapman saved her 16 year long marriage and turned both of her adopted children with severe autism around PLUS her own neuropathy using the tools I showed her (and her own intuition). In this podcast I share the conversations I had with them recently because I wanted them to share their 8 best tips and actionable steps that you can copy if you are stuck and overwhelmed by autism symptoms, health, mood and challenges. In this episode, we cover:How to realise what choices (lifestyle, food, health and emotional) can lead to autism and how to turn it around. The 3 most important things that create real change in symptoms and behavior. Why trusting your instinct and inner guidance is important.Why autism protocols and autism diets rarely is the answer and what is)How your own health and your relationship to your body is affecting your child’s symptoms. How to get a child from violent, destructive, screaming and apathetic to bonding, hugging and peaceful. How to let autistic children guide you towards the optimal healing tools in nature.How it feels when symptoms disappear. How to save a marriage that’s falling apart because of autism and fall in love again. How to get an unsupportive husband on your side. Why: “There’s nothing you can do” is the biggest lie and how one woman proved it wrong and overcame neuropathy after cancer using the same methods that she is using to turn her autistic children around.
