 Are you Loved or Despised? Learn to Leverage Perception Management Strategies | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 54:56

Perception management has been alive in well throughout the world for ages. Governments use it all the time to manage public perception regarding policies and use it repeatedly to gain the upper hand in warfare and politics. Businesses also use it to build brands, sell products, and to mitigate losses. Leaders know the importance of perception management to grow and maintain a healthy business. In today’s show we discuss the need for leaders to recognize the importance of managing messages and actions to control the perceptions of their workforce and customers. What sets great leaders apart is their ability to control the everyday details of their work and the work of their companies. Ultimately, what people appraise as your effectiveness and ability becomes their perception, which then becomes reality. Unmanaged perceptions can create a reality that is opposite to what is wanted. Melissa Delay, the Message Maven, joins us to give insights into the best strategies to implement. She has coached fortune 100 leaders and executive senior leaders to improve employee, customer and stakeholder perceptions as well as motivate strategic company-wide behavior changes. She also facilitates executive crisis media coaching sessions, preparing leaders to deliver persuasive messages in print, radio or TV interviews. You can reach Melissa Delay at her company website: TruPerception.com After we discuss Percept Management, I share a portion of my next week's interview with Bob Weiss. As an certified ethical hacker and security expert, Business Game Changers brings him back again to discuss the latest issues regarding cyber security. He dives into the latest developments regarding Anonymous's declaration of war against Isis. Listen to the episode to learn who Anonymous is and what their end game is with Isis.

 The Drone Age – How Big Business and Governments are Protecting Themselves | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

Military drones are what we typically think about when we discuss drones. But, recreational and commercial drone use has risen incredibly fast and are becoming much more prevalent then most people realize. Many of these are used to significantly provide benefits to humanity. Using drones to deliver medicine to otherwise unreachable areas or fighting out of control forest fires are among the many examples where we see the benefits of their use. Unfortunately though, for all the good that they can provide, there are those that use drones for evil. Corporate and government sabotage, espionage, and unwarranted surveillance are just a few of the ways wrong doers are misusing this technology. This episode of Business Game Changers we welcome Zain Naboulsi, CEO of Drone Labs, the leading development company for drone detection hardware and software. His company invented and patented a revolutionary technology that provides “Intelligent Drone Detection”. Utilizing their invention, he developed a product line that offers intelligent drone detection for government, corporations, and individual use. Zain joins us to discuss the future of drones and how they are being used for good and evil. He also shares how his technology is being used to detect and avoid the damages brought on by criminals using drones. If you want to see more about Drone Labs and their “Intelligent Drone Detection” technology, you can go to www.dronedetector.com.

 Whistle Blower Persecution causes U.S. to plunge to 49th in the World Press Freedom Index | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 54:27

Reporters Without Borders publishes the World Press Freedom Index each year to determine the status of freedom of the press (i.e. the right to print and distribute information freely) inside 180 countries that it researches. The 2015 index shows some disturbing trends developing as the entire world dropped as a whole in press freedom. The United States currently sits at 49th out of 180 nations. Not so great for our country that claims to be the “Land of the Free” and where freedom of speech is a constitutional right. This episode features Dalphine Halgand, U.S. division head for the Reporters without Borders organization. Dalphine explains the U.S. ranking and discusses the Reporters without Borders organization and who supports them. We also discuss the many press freedom issues around the world, how it affects commerce at every level in a country, and ultimately how it can break down or lead to greater prosperity. Another disturbing trend that we cover is how governments are increasingly using National Security as a reason to reduce press freedom. The United States does this by classifying documents in mass thus making it impossible for the public to know where their tax dollars are going and what decisions are being made by their elected officials, or worse, non elected officials. The U.S. also has mass surveillance and other programs in the works that ultimately leads to the deterioration of our freedoms. Perhaps Benjamin Franklin says it best, “Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety”. Lastly we talk about the role business plays in freedom of the press. Corporations naturally want and need positive press to be successful. This is understandable but problems arise when few corporations own the media organizations. This ultimately leads to unbalanced influence and power, which can be wielded to further their own agendas at the expense of press freedom. This is a problem when agendas are to take over markets or control world politics for their own benefit.

During our discussion, he gives us his opinion on many of the biggest issues. Here are a few of the issues we tackle: Will the economy collapse? Will the United States dollar be reset and when will this happen? Should more Wall Street executives be in prison? Will gold begin to trade at true market rates or will it continue to be heavily manipulated? How can our Federal Reserve System be fixed? What should congress do to fix our system? Mr. Goldman was very involved in Wall Street after the financial crash of 2008 and now uses his vast experience to grow and maintain wealth for his clients and investment partners.

 Beyond Telomere Lengthening – Scientist May be Close to a Complete Solution to Cure Aging | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 53:46

After the hugely popular show with Dr. Bill Andrews on Telomeres, Business Game Changers is diving even deeper into the cure for aging topic. This episode welcomes Dr. Aubrey de Grey who is widely considered the foremost expert in the field of aging by his peers. De Grey joins us to discuss his controversial views on the subject. He challenges the most basic assumption underlying the human condition -- that aging is inevitable. He argues instead that aging is a disease -- one that can be cured if it's approached as "an engineering problem." His plan calls for identifying all the components that cause human tissue to age, and designing remedies for each of them — forestalling disease and eventually pushing back death. He calls the approach Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence (SENS). According to his speaker page on TED, de Grey “claims he has drawn a roadmap to defeat biological aging and provocatively proposes that the first human beings who will live to 1,000 years old have already been born.” You can learn more about his foundation and research at www.sens.org You can see his bio at Dr. Aubrey de Grey bio

Owners of the oil wells will eliminate gas flaring, save the wasted gas and pollution occurring to the environment, and will also collect money from B&A Global for the gas the mobile refinery produces.

 Where are the Missing Trillions from the U.S. Budget? | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:26:30

In the last few decades, there has been trillions of dollars missing from the U.S. budget. Donald Rumsfeld, secretary of defense under Ford and Bush Junior, identified $2.3 trillion missing dollars (which was actually confirmed to be $2.7 trillion) in 2001 and recently Catherine Austin Fitts, the assistant department of Housing secretary under George Bush senior claimed that over the past few decades “upwards of 40 Trillion dollars is missing” from almost every agency in the country. What in the world is going on? First, is it even possible that this much money could be missing? My mind probably would not be able to entertain this idea even remotely until I saw the first, and only, audit of the Federal Reserve, showing $16 Trillion dollars being funneled to off shore banks. While this in and of itself doesn’t prove anything, it certainly does open up my mind to listen and question what is going on. This week my radio show welcomed Jeroen van Straaten, the founder of the Breakthrough Energy Movement and the Secret Space Conference, to discuss the missing Trillions and many other topics. Jeroen was originally scheduled to spend 15 minutes sharing with us the line up for this year's Secret Space Conference, but I found the interview to be so interesting that it became an entire hour-long show. Jeroen shares his unique perspective on world affairs and he gets into some pretty interesting, off beat, and controversial topics. Jeroen also shares what many believe is the ultimate use of the missing trillions: The Secret Space Program. Related to this and worth mentioning is the recent 60 minutes episode on the Secret Space Command Program within the U.S. Air Force. This episode showed the space jet that the U.S. military has developed and the advanced lasers Space Command uses to shoot down potential enemy objects in orbit. They also discussed the space war heating up with China. While this one episode does not prove trillions are being funneled into a secret space program, it does show that there is much more money and more development going on in space then the public knows about. You can see the show here: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/rare-look-at-space-command-satellite-defense-60-minutes-2/ After discussing many interesting topics, we do eventually get to the lineup for the Secret Space Conference. This year's speakers will cover the estimated size of the missing money from the U.S., the advanced capabilities that are known to exist, and the future of our society. Assistant Secretary Catherine Austin Fitts will be speaking about the missing Trillions that her team has been uncovering. She will also provide personal testimony and incredible documented research on the topic. Other speakers include historian Dr. Joseph P. Farrell who received his doctorate from the University of Oxford, Dr. Paul A. LaViolette who received his BA in physics from Johns Hopkins, his MBA from the University of Chicago, and a PhD from Portland State University, and many others.

 Considered “The Best Living Composer in the World”, William Camilleri is Shaking up Hollywood | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 47:30

William Camilleri is joining the program to discuss how his new project and motion picture, “The Composer”, is taking Hollywood by storm and changing the rules of the game. Hollywood has settled into a focused money making system that has lost much of it’s creativity, risk taking, and many of the great traits that originally catapulted it to lead the world in great movie making. “The Composer” changes all of this and promises to shake up the system. It has defied the normal processes and has acquired academy award winning staff and independent development in lightning pace. Of course, winning the Award for “Best Story” at the New York Film Festival doesn’t hurt the cause. William also shares with us some of the amazing true story behind the movie, which is based on his real life. It is incredibly touching and, as described by the New York Film Festival, “has amazing potential to become an Oscar-winning movie”. The story shows how he overcame mind control, cruelty, and then the impossible, composing incredibly beautiful music limitlessly and unedited in live settings on stage, anywhere, and everywhere earning the praise from Prof. Dr. Steven Paul, Head of Sony Classical NY, “William Camilleri is a musical phenomenon”. He has been compared to the greats such as Beethoven, Mozart, and others.   You can hear William Camilleri’s music and see more about “The Composer” at http://thecomposer.global/  Hear some of his music:   Tom Shepard of Shepard Financial joins us to share a real example of how his “Evolving with Money” program has worked and how it can help others become smarter and more effective with their money too.
