What's the ACTUAL difference between a Chief Growth Officer and a Chief Marketing Officer,what do they do and why might a high-growth brand need both?BGH host Fiona Fitz has been in the industry for 25+ years, and believe it or not, these roles are relatively new, borrowed from the worlds of tech and e-commerce, pure plays. So we decided it was high time to investigate what exactly a chief growth officer does and how they work alongside a chief marketing officer.In this episode of Brand Growth Heroes, Fiona digs into that exact question with two of the most strategic minds behind one of the UK's most successful DTC brands, smol. Neil Campbell is Chief Growth Officer, and Hilary Strong is Smol's Chief Marketing Officer. Together, they break down how they work in tandem to scale a brand that's grown to £44M in sales, without relying on traditional advertising or a big retail presence.Neil and Hilary explore how customer lifetime value, subscription retention, and channel strategy combine to build a high-repeat-rate, mission-led brand. They also discuss how Smol segments its audience, turns data into action, and balances performance marketing with long-term brand building.If you've ever wondered how to move from organic to scalable growth—or whether it's time to bring in more senior commercial firepower to your team, this conversation will give you both the strategic context and the practical next steps. You'll hear how Smol has built a brand so loved that customers travel across the country just to meet the team in person and why they're still holding off on going big in retail despite the temptation.This episode is packed with real-world insight, actionable strategy, and a glimpse into what modern DTC growth leadership really looks like.

And one of the main signs of this is “the killing of Christians” at high levels in those regions. With a civil war brewing in Afghanistan, “genocide” level attacks in regions of Africa, and more trouble on the horizon, predictive models have found that things could very likely boil over soon. But Kennedy details how the Trump administration, especially Tulsi Gabbard, Kash Patel, and Pam Bondi, are working overtime to “get ahead of what we know is coming” and keep Americans safe.

Welcome to Printing Money Episode 26!  For this episode, Danny is joined by Dayton Horvath, Director of Emerging Technology at AMT (and Printing Money alum!). Danny and Dayton had some quality time to plan this episode, having both just been at Additive Manufacturing Strategies a couple weeks ago.  And the planning was needed, because there have been a lot of noteworthy deals not just in the last month, but also some in Q4 which we hadn't had time to cover. Danny and Dayton start off by reviewing AMS 2025.  Speeches by Stratasys CEO Yoav Zeif, AM Research's Scott Dunham, and The Barnes Global Advisors' John Barnes are all referenced as the additive manufacturing (AM) “industry” struggles to establish its value and confronts its status as a standalone (or not?) technology. Next, drawing upon AMT data, Dayton takes us through the 2024 year that was in 3D printing M&A and investment (Hint… not a great year!).   Danny and Dayton also highlight some of the most notable 2024 deals. Then Danny and Dayton jump into Printing Money's bread and butter, analyzing recent deals across the 3D printing landscape.  Some themes include software companies buying simulation companies, a continuing focus on AM for military and defense, and AUKUS, more specifically Australia.

After 25 years in payments, including leading roles at Braintree and PayPal, Klas Bäck noticed a persistent problem: companies were leaving money on the table due to suboptimal payment infrastructure. Despite being data-driven in other areas, even billion-dollar companies made payment decisions without complete, accurate, or timely data. This revelation led him to co-found Pagos, raising $44M to build a payment operations platform that helps enterprise companies optimize their payment performance through better data and analytics. Topics Discussed: Evolution of payments from a corporate banking afterthought to a product/engineering priority The opaque nature of payment operations and the industry-wide lack of data-driven decision making Why payment infrastructure optimization remains challenging despite technological advances The emergence of payment operations as a distinct category within enterprise companies Building a global enterprise SaaS company from day one The impact of market noise on B2B marketing strategies Community building through intimate dinner events and industry conferences GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Break into enterprise through brute force outreach: Bäck leveraged his LinkedIn network to systematically reach out to potential customers, focusing on companies with $50M+ in annual online sales. The key was having enough industry credibility to secure initial conversations. Adapt your MVP strategy for enterprise: When building features for early adopters, start with manual processes (like weekly data files) before investing in full automation. This allows you to validate value while managing development costs. Build community through peer connections: Rather than focusing on selling, create opportunities for prospects to meet peers facing similar challenges. Bäck found success hosting intimate dinners (10-12 people) where the value came from peer networking rather than vendor pitching. Embrace imperfect execution: In startup environments, waiting for perfection can be fatal. Launch quickly, stay close to early customers, communicate transparently about issues, and iterate based on feedback. Hire for curiosity and action-orientation: Look for team members who proactively take initiative in group settings and demonstrate genuine curiosity through question-asking. These traits are especially crucial in early-stage startups. Focus marketing on high-intent channels: Traditional demand generation tactics like Google Ads may not work well for new categories. Instead, focus on building presence in existing industry communities and conferences where your target buyers already gather.   //   Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe.  www.GlobalTalent.co

Seriously?EditorialIt's Sunday, two days later than I usually send this out. Two excuses. I was in recovery from PTSD after the “debate.” And then I almost had a relapse watching England in the Euro last 16 game against Slovakia.I'm unsure of my mental state now (we won 2-1 in extra time). But the other, more important “game” is still undecided.But in AI, it seems everybody is getting PTSD from wild allegations that AI might kill the human race to now new suggestions that there may be a bubble in valuations for early-stage companies.The items in this week's newsletter are really good. MG Seigler, Alex Wilhelm and Peter Walker dominate. The first two are former TechCrunch writers (hats off to Mike Arrington for his talent-spotting). Peter is the leading contributor to VC data; he has access to Carta data and uses it super effectively.MG and Alex have relatively new newsletter sites - SpyGlass and Cautious Optimism, respectively). They are great observers and even better writers - subscribe. Links in their articles are below.Big tech seems to be running scared of AI regulation. This from MG Seigler's : No MacBook Air Killer, All MacBook Air FillerMicrosoft really s**t the bed here both from a security and PR perspective. And what's left sounds very 'meh'. It's almost like Microsoft forget the 'Copilot' part of 'Copilot+ PCs'. And certainly they forgot the '+' part.MG also wrote about the EU and Apple, claiming that the EU is seeking to entrap Apple by refusing to state what Apple can and cannot do with its AI intentions. Apple, in response, is saying it will not launch AI in Europe until the EU says what product flexibility it has.You have to smile. Apple plays this game super well.Finally, he has ‘Behold the Hackquisition', which shows how big tech avoids M&A blocks by buying teams instead of companies.Alex Wilhelm's anticipation of the Circle (USDC) IPO is a great example of his regular style and substance.Peter Walker heads up data storytelling at Carta (great title). This week, he also has three pieces, all originally posted on his LinkedIn profile.‘Is there an AI bubble' (my title) examines the spread of Series A venture funding valuations. He separates the percentiles and measures the spread between them, noting that the gap between the 50th percentile and the 95th is the widest ever - even wider than 2021 and 2022. This is for SaaS rounds that include much AI.In H1 2019, the 50th percentile for pre-money valuations was $26M (Series A SaaS companies only, primary rounds). The 95th pct at that time was $96M.Now that's a pretty large gap. We're talking a 3.7x jump from the middle to the top end.But today things are even more skewed.

Today, I'm joined by Joe Stolte, a serial entrepreneur, growth coach, and the CEO of Daily.ai, a company that helps brands publish AI-powered email newsletters that generate 40-60% open rates without writing a single piece of content.  As a program manager at Microsoft in his 20s, Joe was making over $250,000. But as an entrepreneur at heart, he knew he couldn't ignore the call to go out on his own. After his first attempt at raising outside capital left Joe $37,000 in debt, he learned from his experience, going on to found 5 companies and exit 3. Joe is also a former Inc 500 entrepreneur who helped create a $60M+ exit at GrowFlow, helped take Lottery.com public at $526M, and helped grow Tractionology Group to producing $44M in client revenue in 3 years. In today's episode, you'll hear Joe's firsthand experience about the pros and cons of bootstrapping vs. fundraising. You'll also learn a step-by-step process for fundraising (even if you don't have high-powered connections), how to set up powerful introductions to investors with deep pockets, and how to use AI to boost your revenue — not just your dopamine.

Joc Pederson continues his tour of the NL West, agreeing to a one-year, $12.5M deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks with a mutual option for a second year. If it doesn't feel like a big loss, that's because it's really not. The Giants' departing free-agent class is mediocre at best, and the biggest deals signed by outgoing free agents are Sean Manaea's two-year deal with the Mets and Pederson's one-year deal with the Snakes.Meanwhile, the Giants have added Jung Hoo Lee, who boasts excellent projections and cost $113M over a guaranteed six years, plus a $19M posting fee. They also added flamethrowing sinkerballer Jordan Hicks on a fascinating four-year, $44M deal and intend to use him as a starting pitcher. Tom Murphy was also signed to a two-year deal plus a club option for a third. The SF Giants also dipped into the trade market in a fascinating swap that saw Robbie Ray join the Giants with unwanted players Mitch Haniger and Anthony DeSclafani (along with $6M in cash) going to Seattle.Switching gears, the Giants' pitching projections are discussed. Logan Webb projects across the board as one of the best starters in baseball. Camilo Doval projects as one of the best closers. That's a good place for the San Francisco Giants to start, and they've also got intriguing young players like Kyle Harrison in the mix. Alex Cobb and Ray should act as fascinating mid-season "acquisitions."Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

The San Francisco Giants have signed one of the best relievers on the market. The catch? They plan to use him as a starting pitcher. The Giants and Jordan Hicks are reportedly in agreement on a four-year, $44M contract. Hicks, who at 27 years old is the sixth-youngest free agent this offseason, averaged over 100 mph on his sinking fastball last season and is an extreme ground ball pitcher. He profiles as a high-end reliever, but the SF Giants are going a non-traditional route and plan to put him in the rotation. Hicks was a starter at times throughout his minor league career and has made a handful of starts in the majors.What does this mean about the Giants' rotation? Does the addition of Robbie Ray, paired with today's reported addition of Hicks, take them out on remaining top starters Blake Snell and Jordan Montgomery? At first glance, when looking at the Opening Day projected rotation, it shouldn't. But when we flash forward to what the Giants' rotation will look like once Ray and Alex Cobb are ready to come back, it's entirely possible that the Giants are done adding starters. Whether or not that's a bad plan is up for debate.But the Giants could instead pivot to the position player market at this point. Hicks being another extreme ground ball pitcher, the SF Giants could look to bolster their infield defense with a signing of, say, Matt Chapman, who is an elite defender at third base. Cody Bellinger remains an option as well, and he'd probably play corner outfield and first base (Bellinger is capable of playing center, but the SF Giants signed Jung Hoo Lee to be their center fielder earlier this winter). With only about $28M left before reaching the first luxury tax threshold, it's unlikely the Giants make more than one more significant signing ($20M+ AAV).Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

Interview with Max Porterfield, President & CEO of Callinex Mines Inc. Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/callinex-mines-tsxvcnx-technical-analysis-due-diligence-4008Recording date: 20th December 2023Callinex Mines (TSXV: CNX) has made significant progress during 2023 advancing its 100% owned Pine Bay copper-zinc-gold-silver project located in the Flin Flon Mining District in Manitoba.Through disciplined exploration drilling this year, Callinex has continued expanding higher-grade resources, especially at its recent Rainbow discovery, while also discovering new zones of mineralization. Rainbow encompasses three steeply dipping lenses which start just 100m below surface. An updated resource estimate in July outlined 3.44M tons indicated grading at 3.59% CuEq, positioning Rainbow as one of the highest grade undeveloped copper projects in Canada. Meanwhile early indications point to a strong exploration upside remaining along trend and at depth.Equally exciting, new drill results announced in September highlighted a significant new discovery called Descendant (named after early regional explorers). Four zones of high-grade copper-zinc-gold-silver sulphides were encountered spanning an interval of ~350 meters vertical depth. With mineralization open in all directions, this large system shows early similarities to some of the world's premier VMS deposits. Assays from several step-out holes are anticipated in early 2024, which will provide initial clues on the potential scale emerging at Descendant.Between resource expansion underway at Rainbow and the new discovery potential unlocked at Descendant, CEO Max Porterfield sees a clear line of sight to double Callinex's global resource inventory from the current 6M ton baseline over the next 12-18 months. Callinex is funded for its near-term exploration campaign with a strengthened cash position. The company has attracted necessary capital raises from long-term supportive shareholders in each of the past cycles when entering new discovery phases. Even amidst the challenging junior mining equity backdrop during 2022, key technical catalysts drove Callinex 65% higher in early 2022 before drifting back to the current $1.80 share price. With two potential mines already significantly de-risked and copper supply/demand fundamentals continuing to tighten globally, the company expects tailwinds from a constructive base metals pricing environment as exploration progresses into 2024.In summary, Callinex Mines provides investors uniquely leveraged exposure amongst junior miners to what many expect will be a prolonged copper bull market. Near-term upside exists from both continued exploration success as well as discoveries being re-rated higher by the market as copper deficit conditions persist. With a strengthened technical team confident they're onto a very large system at Descendant based on early drilling and supporting geophysical surveys, Callinex shows potential as key catalysts hit over the coming 6-12 months.—View Callinex Mines' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/callinex-minesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Reddit Stories | OP (39F) shares her experience with a depressed colleague (44M) who has accused her of bullying, causing him to be on extended sick leave. The colleague was initially added to her team due to her experience with supporting mentally ill staff. Despite making accommodations for his mental health and physical comfort, his work performance didn't reach the expected levels. He committed a serious security breach, leading to formal disciplinary action, and has been on sick leave for over 3 months. He's now alleging bullying and harassment, even though documented evidence proves otherwise. The manager is seeking advice on how to handle a meeting with the colleague and mental health support workers who are involved, especially considering his pattern of lying to evade responsibility. She's concerned about his suitability for the job, as he refuses to acknowledge his mistakes. She's confident in her standing with her bosses but seeks guidance on managing this complex situation.

Lay of The Land's conversation today is with Ed Weinfurtner, Executive Chairman of Great Day Improvements & Co-Founder at Blue Olive PartnersEd is an entrepreneur at heart and has been an investor, operator, and board member in a variety of privately held businesses over the past 40 years developing specific expertise in DTC home improvement, distribution, and manufacturing businesses. Most recently at the helm of Great Day Improvements, he's grown the company by an order of a magnitude from $44M to $922M in sales in just 7 years — in the last year alone, the company grew its remodeling jobs from 9000 the year prior to nearly 68,000!As one of the largest Northeast Ohio companies, employing more than 2,100 people, Great Day Improvements is a vertically integrated, direct-to-consumer provider of home remodeling and premium building products: including Patio Enclosures brand sunrooms and screen rooms; Stanek brand windows and doors; Apex Energy Solutions energy efficient windows and doors; and Hartshorn Custom Contracting pool enclosures.Since Ed acquired the business in 2014, it has quadrupled in size and is now ranked as the 11th largest residential remodeling company in the US by Qualified Remodeler. It was recently named among the fastest-growing private companies in America by INC. Magazine and by Crain's Cleveland Business as the fastest-growing privately held business in Northeast Ohio.I really enjoyed Ed's reflection on his career and learning how he navigated the business through the pandemic and the deluge of downstream headwinds to his business from labor shortages to inflated material costs, to double down on the company's core competency and find success through it.

"I'm Chucky. Wanna play?" The resounding answer in 1988 was "yes." Audiences couldn't get enough of the possessed Good Guy. The $9M movie scared up $44M at the box office and went on to have a nice long life on video, not to mention several sequels, comic books, a 2019 reboot, and a 2021 TV show. Looking back on the doll that started it all ... was Chucky really that much of a threat to begin with? Was Chris Sarandon's 'Mike Norris' the most heartless detective ever? Was Dinah Manoff's 'Aunt Maggie' really a b*tch who got what she deserved? The Old Roommates replace their batteries, practice some chants, and revisit this creepy cult classic.

With all of the uncertainty in the real estate market right now, it's understandable why some investors are scared. However, with the right investment principles, mindset, and underwriting approach, savvy investors can weather the economic storm and continue hunting for deals. It's more important now than ever to underwrite conservatively, and understand how the market, type of debt, and interest rates can impact your acquisitions and property performance. That's why we decided to bring on Eli Vo as today's guest. Eli s a retired veteran, where he proudly served his country for 21 years as a paratrooper in the US Army and later as an IT Specialist in the US Air Force. He co-founded the Atlas Multifamily Group with his partners Chris & Nathan. They are TX based syndicators who own & operate $44M dollars of assets in Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and soon Texas. To help others build wealth and grow professionally, Eli co-authored a book with other high-achievers, detailing his purpose and passion, which became an Amazon Bestseller. Atlas also hosts a podcast called "The Real MF Guys Show." On today's episode, Eli discusses how he and his team make “defensible assumptions” in their underwriting, how a market can help you mitigate economic shifts, the impact of changing interest rates on real estate deal sourcing, and more. To hear the wisdom Eli has for people looking to raise capital in these times, and for people who are currently responsible for passive investor money, press play!
