Navigating Trademark Disputes and Content Creation Challenges. When is it worth your time to go after someone who uses your trademark in a grey area or fair use manner that is not referencing your brand?At the end of the day, just be a human being when you do business. If you have an issue with someone's content, try having a simple conversation before taking action that could hurt a creator, especially a small business owner. I have no hard feelings toward anyone, I'm just sharing what happened because the story is helpful to keep in mind for your own content. Content moderation is usually run by bots who don't understand nuance.I discuss a personal experience of having a YouTube video removed for an apparent trademark violation.

Employee Monitoring and Trust: Management Tips, Marketing TakeawaysI examine the increasing trend of companies cracking down on minor employee infractions and the implications of such strict policies. Thoughts on the 10/30/2024 WSJ article about Payhawk. I highlight stories from companies like Meta, Ernst & Young, and Target, explaining the negative impact of an overly monitored work environment.By contrasting Payhawk culture with examples of trust and autonomy, I emphasize the importance of treating employees as responsible adults to foster a more engaged and innovative workforce.

What is the difference between a tagline and a slogan? What are some of the best slogans of all time? I analyze the trend in taglines called "verb-your-noun" that I think is on its way out. You've seen it, like "Find your tribe" or "Maximize your space" or "Fund your dream." These are imperatives (commands) to a customer.You might be using this tagline framework as it's been popular for 5-10 years especially in SaaS. It's okay right now, but getting dusty (culturally) and probably won't work in a couple years.Topics:(0:00) Meet Emily Binder + why you should listen to this show(0:30) How to work with me: beetlemoment.com or emilybinder.com/call(2:30) Difference between taglines and slogans (Apple: "Think Different" vs "1000 songs in your pocket")(3:20) De Beers slogan "A Diamond is Forever"(5:00) Anthimeria: "A better way to burger" -Pizza Hut(7:10) Yoda and Luke - guide / hero copywriting - Storybrand(8:00) Thirsty Marketing is Out: Stop Chasing and Start Attracting (order this talk)(9:20) Thumbs-up emoji (Gen Z says rude)(11:00) Is an imperative good for a tagline?

Business education is a business. "And the biggest thing I don't do well with, and never did well with, was knowing that no matter how hard I worked, there would always be a cap to my success. And when I say success, I really mean the take-home, the revenue. Why are we there? This is not altruism. What do you get out of a job? You get money.Don Draper said this to Peggy when she said, 'It would be nice if you could say thank you once in a while, Don.'And he loses his sh*t. And he says, 'That's what the money is for!'"In June 2023 I went to a birthday party with thirty MBAs where I just... did not... fit in. This voice memo that I recorded on the way home captures the essence of entrepreneurship. (Excuse slight drop in sound quality, it's a raw iPhone voice recording but worth it.) Caveat: No shade to MBAs (my parents and friends have them). This is an exploration of an entrepreneurial mindset, how that's changed even in the last 5-10 years.Themes:Key idea: With a salaried position as an employee, you are capped in earning potential; there are diminishing returns to how hard you work. When you own the business there is no cap.You can create something from nothing all by yourself without incurring debt. It's never been easier than today with AI.That said, there are perks to employment and it's great for many people. It's the smart move for many (most) people. Employment is statistically more likely to make you money than starting a business.Topics:(0:00) Backstory before voice memo(0:24) The creative influence of alcohol maybe(1:12) Entrepreneurial mindset vs. traditional education(1:41) Voice memo begins: MBA Party thoughts(2:07) Questioning the value of formal education(4:08) Employee vs owner (earning potential, effort and payoff)(5:56) Alternative paths to learning and success(8:01) What you can teach yourselfMy podcast tools:Record: emilybinder.com/riversideEdit with AI: emilybinder.com/descriptShop my gear: beetlemoment.com/gearHire me:Speaking: emilybinder.com/speakingCoaching call: emilybinder.com/callBook a Zoom drop-in: thinkersone.com/emilybinderConnect:This podcast | My website | Beetle Moment Marketing | LinkedIn | X | Instagram | YouTube | Email updates Hosted on Acast.

The Importance of Personal Branding and Attention to Detail: In this episode, I will tell you about what I call a "discerning guy." Now, this term started out to describe men who take the dealership's ad off their bumper. But now I use it for everyone regardless of gender and it's just a catch-all for being with it (good thing).I kick it off with a personal story about someone whose iPhone contact card said "Money" instead of his name. It's a lighthearted intro but the key is: DO sweat the small stuff when it comes to your personal brand. We're talking everything from contact cards to drivers whose license plates still display a dealership's name on a plastic frame. SMH. When you leave that ad frame on your car you're giving free CPM to Mercedes Benz of Austin or Jim Ellis Audi. A $180k car now looks dorky. I share stories and practical tips on why details matter and how they can make or break the way people see you.Topics:(0:00) A guy named Money (iPhone contact card story)(0:55) First impressions and red flags(1:49) The dealership's ad on your license plate frame (not a Discerning Guy)(3:10) Branding and personal image(6:00) Business headshot and avatar tips(6:35) The importance of details in personal brand(7:20) How to change Nickname in iPhone Contact card (instructions)(10:17) Advertising campaign disaster - soft drink in Asia - slogan translation(10:54) Takeaways for marketing(11:15) Your personal brand is in the details e.g. contact card, profile pic(11:30) Ex with a typo in company URL (story)My podcast tools:Record: emilybinder.com/riversideEdit with AI: emilybinder.com/descriptShop my gear: beetlemoment.com/gearHire me:Speaking: emilybinder.com/speakingCoaching call: emilybinder.com/callBook a Zoom drop-in or virtual mini-keynote video: thinkersone.com/emilybinderConnect:This podcast | My website | Beetle Moment Marketing | LinkedIn | X | Instagram | TikTok | YouTube | Email updates Hosted on Acast.

I discuss a common mistake I see many podcasters and website owners making: not testing user experience as a lay user. I emphasize how crucial it is to have easy access links for Spotify and Apple Podcasts on your podcast home page (on your own website). And I talk about the value of using universal links like Plink. I'll share some practical tips for enhancing your podcast page to boost user engagement and highlight why it's so important to adopt an outsider's perspective when testing your site.

The Complex World of Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Pay Disparity, Brand Value, and Gender Dynamics. I discuss the surprisingly low pay of #DCC, despite being the face of the world's most valuable sports franchise ($9 billion via Forbes).Watch this episode: youtube.com/emilybinderNetflix documentary "America's Sweethearts." 1) Brand value and talent, 2) masculine / feminine energy, 3) intersection of pay, gender, and youth in the workforce.

What's going on with the Discount Tire logo? Discount Tire is a wheel and tires retailer established in 1960 and today is one of the largest companies in its segment, operating over one thousand stores across the USA -- despite its logo that gives fast food and cartoons. I explore the significance of color and branding in influencing consumer perception. I share an anecdote about walking by a Discount Tire store and critique its branding choices, particularly its Flintstones crooked bubble letters, which contradicts the message of safety and reliability crucial for tires.This episode delves into the psychology behind color usage in various industries. Branding is about emotional connection and aligning the visual and auditory elements with the desired consumer experience.

This episode will finally convince you to stop showing up to Zoom calls or podcasts with AirPods as your mic input. (It's fine for output.) For emotional association and any appeal from a sales or marketing perspective, sound is far more important in the brain than visuals or words.

Think of your favorite TV commercial of all time. What made it memorable? It was probably that it told a story that resonated with you. Unlike straight feature benefit ads that you'll often see from CPGs, like detergent or toothpaste, or from insurance companies, really memorable advertising tells a story and triggers feelings. The same goes for public speaking and generally all marketing. Stats or data help, too. It's about blending them. If you're deficient in any one of the three pillars of persuasion, it's difficult to get anyone to believe you or care what you have to say.

We used to actually watch a string of 30-second commercials for Downy and Doritos waiting for Seinfeld to come back on. Today is not the age of television, or patience, but the age of ultimate optionality. This is the age of TikTok and you need to keep these tips in mind when creating short form content. Create for people, not algorithms. The algos are getting smart enough that you can stop doing everything to appease them.

Why are we such bad listeners, retaining only one-eighth of what we hear? Two reasons for our poor listening skills:0:19 - 1) Schools teach reading, not listening: Listening is a different activity from reading and requires different skills. Reading and listening skills do not improve at the same rate when only reading is taught. Reading ability is continually upgraded while listening ability degenerates.**The typical student graduates into a society where they will have to listen about three times as much as they read. But they're only taught to read.**1:25 Neurology: Our brains were not meant to read but to listen (campfire). Far off vistas calm the brain, close-up text creates cortisol.2:00 - 2) Our brains - we think much faster than words are spoken: Words play a large part in our thinking processes, and the words race through our brains at speeds much higher than 125 words per minute. When we listen, we ask our brain to receive words at an very slow pace compared with its capabilities.Read more: emilybinder.com/blogRelated episodes:Last episode (part 1 of 2 )What is vocal fry?

So many companies think they're saving money by not hiring an internal marketing leader and relying solely on outside resources, but it ends up costing them more. Yes, you can outsource some marketing work. Strategists, freelancers, and marketing tools / SaaS / vendors can be great additions.

RIP the bird.Point: All marketing is one of three things:BrandingPRDirect responseEverything else is just tactics. This concept from Bob Knorpp is so key.I go over the #1 marketing mistake I see brands make (this is the "marketable" concept via Samantha Russell). Success has less to do with tactics like social media or advertising; it's about whether you know why your business exists. Call it a north star, a reason for being.

Online dating is broken the same way most sales and marketing are broken. Look at: Free trials. Previews. Phone screening for online dating so that the first date is a date, and not a meeting to get the double opt-in that would have happened in nature. A blind sales pitch without know-like-and-trust or a product preview has the same pitfalls in marketing a product as it does with a potential relationship. Screens / trials / previews create better outcomes.In a sales offer, you want to have a low time delay and a low perceived effort (that's the bottom half of Hormozi's value equation). The top half is the dream outcome and the likelihood of success. E.g.: "This person looks great. This product looks great. It looks like I'm going to have a high chance of success with meeting them or buying it. But what about the time delay and the perceived effort?"In this episode, more parallels between business and dating! One of my favorite topics. P.S. Dating is also just like hiring / job search for employee and employer.Links:Book: "$100 Million Offers" by Alex Hormozi (the Kindle version is $1.99, paperback is $21)Blog post: How to Keep Your LinkedIn Experience Spam-FreeRelated episode: Positioning Your Product or Service Unlike Online Dating ProfilesMy favorite podcast tools:Riverside is the best way to record an audio or video podcast: https://emilybinder.com/riversideDescript is the BEST tool to easily edit audio or video like a Word doc.

Your customers want something great, likely, fast, and easy. A quick dive into Alex Hormozi's value equation from "$100 Million Offers". I recently read the book and this was the part that stood out to me as the most helpful concept that any business person or marketer can use. 1) Hormozi's value equation:Dream outcome x likelihood of success divided by time delay x perceived effort = value.Most brands and products get the top portion right. The hard part is the bottom. 2) Plus: should you publish pricing or not?My favorite podcast tools:Riverside is the best way to record an audio or video podcast: https://emilybinder.com/riversideDescript is the BEST tool to easily edit audio or video like a Word doc.

"The Law of Five" comes from motivational speaker Jim Rohn who said that we are the average of the five people we spend the most time with. This concept needs a modern update: from an hours / exposure standpoint, your media diet can be even more impactful than your influences in protein form, like friends.Our beliefs, our habits, our health, our lifestyles, even our incomes—are all powerfully influenced by our social network. Remember, we are social creatures. We are molded, shaped, and influenced by those around us and those we let into our lives, INCLUDING through a screen or a pair of headphones.So, who are your top five? Are they lifting you up or bringing you down? Are they inspiring you to be the best version of yourself, or are they holding you back from realizing your full potential? Are you, perhaps, more influenced by a podcast host or an influencer than by your closest friends?Links:YouTube video with Laura Larios: "Speaking with Confidence: Using Nervous System Voice Techniques"Podcast episode I loved: Invest Like the Best: "Kevin Kelly - Be Generous & Unique" - (show notes) + (Spotify link)My favorite podcast tools:Riverside is the best way to record an audio or video podcast: https://emilybinder.com/riversideDescript is the BEST tool to easily edit audio or video like a Word doc.

Dissecting hundred million dollar negotiations from two GOATs of personal branding: Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bethenny Frankel. First, unleash the schmäh: how Arnold Schwarzenegger mastered the art of persuasion and persona to become one of the world's most famous and highest paid stars. Schwarzenegger's movies have grossed more than $4 billion worldwide at box offices. At the peak of his career, he consistently earned $20 to $30 million per movie. NEW: Watch this podcast (video): youtube.com/emilybinderThere is a word that Arnold uses to describe his efforts at self promotion, heard repeatedly in the Netflix mini documentary series "Arnold." The word is schmäh, an Austrian German idiom that is behind his singular global success. Think about applying schmäh to your own marketing. Steve Jobs did it. Maybe you can harness that playful, larger than life vibe in selling your own products or services. But the key is that you have to believe in it for anyone else to.Plus: The Bethenny Clause - and what she has in common with Arnold as a brilliant marketer and negotiator.Timestamps:0:18 Schwarzenegger's box office success and revenue0:48 What is schmäh? 1:47 Schwarzenegger's childhood and manifesting of success like Joe Dispenza (visualization to reality)3:20 Schwarzenegger's highest grossing movie of all time was Twins, not Terminator 24:00 The Bethenny Clause (Bethenny Frankel and Bravo - Housewives season 1 contract)5:06 Bethenny Frankel's ingenious move to retain the rights to Skinnygirl brand when she sold the liquor to Beam5:43 Media is the most powerful lever in businessShop my business video content on ThinkersOne: Send a thank-you or pep talk video, special event invite, or order a keynote or Zoom drop-in! thinkersone.comRate / review / subscribe to this show: emilybinder.com/podcastBook a coaching session: emilybinder.com/callFollow & connect:My website | Beetle Moment Marketing | LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram | YouTube | Get email updates Hosted on Acast.
