Ps Adam reminds us that there were certainly many Strange things Jesus did while He was here: riding on a donkey, washing His disciples' feet, saying that the greatest must be a servant ..... He then discusses how us Christians should also be Strange today.

Welcome back to Fintech Takes. I'm Alex Johnson, and today's episode is a little different. Before I wrote a newsletter for a living, I spent the beginning of my career working in B2B marketing in fintech and financial services. So this episode is built around the provocation that B2B marketing sucks, but it doesn't have to.  First up, Cokie Hasiotis (Head of Vertical Marketing at Socure and author of the For the Plot newsletter) and Julie VerHage Greenberg (founder of Quinnovation and formerly a co-founder and writer of Fintech Today and reporter at Bloomberg) join me to diagnose B2B marketing's boring problem. It's an industry where 80% of decisions are made emotionally, and yet it runs on copy that makes you feel nothing. We get into why the head of content is a job designed to fail, and why founders are so bad at telling their own stories. Then, Jessica Kendall (Head of Content and Communications at Spinwheel) joins me to talk about messaging. We also get into the two AI problems every marketing team now has to own (tune in to find out!). And last but not least, Adam Ryan (co-founder and CEO of Workweek) joins me to talk about why B2B marketers can rarely prove the value of decisions they know were right. Blame the hidden sales cycle, and the tenure problem (the average executive B2B marketer lasts 18 months, often not even a full sales cycle). We dig into: What would B2B marketing look like if it remembered that buyers are humans? Can you measure a changed mind? If AI can produce infinite “good enough” content, what's left that buyers will trust? And so much more! Tune in for a curious tour through the discipline that decides what our entire industry reads, watches, and believes.

Who is God and why would He want a relationship with each of us? Using many scriptures, Ps Adam thoroughly answers this question! God is amazing and, when we become fully aware of this and get to know Him, we will all want that relationship with Him.

Daniel and James sit down with Adam Ryan, CEO and co-founder of Workweek, the media-tech company that's home to the five largest professional communities across fintech, HR, e-commerce, marketing, and healthcare. Adam built the company on a simple insight: the people with the most professional experience are the least likely to share it publicly. So he built Workweek to solve it, pulling from his days as the first hire and president of The Hustle before its sale to HubSpot.The conversation digs into Workweek's newly announced partner platform, which connects newsletter ad engagement signals directly back to advertiser CRMs. Adam shares that 95% of newsletter clicks today are bots, that his platform is matching 44% of Fortune 500 CRMs, and that sales teams are claiming 3-4x more credit than they deserve while marketing gets none. If you've ever wondered why proving newsletter ROI feels impossible, this episode explains exactly why and how Workweek is changing it.Thank you to our sponsors:​ AdQuick — ⁠adquick.com⁠​ ⁠Thrad.ai⁠ — ⁠thrad.ai⁠​ beehiiv — ⁠⁠beehiiv.com⁠​ The Farm — thefarmllp.com STAY CONNECTEDJames on Twitter & LinkedIn – /jamesborowDaniel on LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok – /danieldrugerSubscribe & leave a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review on Spotify & Apple Podcasts.

For years, Marketers have known newsletter advertising works…but proving it has been nearly impossible. Daniel sits down with Adam Ryan, CEO of Workweek to discuss Workweek's new Partner Platform and why it could change how B2B marketers measure newsletter performance forever. They break down why traditional metrics like opens and clicks are often misleading, how bot traffic has distorted reporting, and why many Marketers have been under-crediting newsletters for years. Adam explains how Workweek is connecting newsletter engagement directly to CRM systems, helping marketers finally see the impact newsletters have on pipeline, revenue, and account engagement. And, a handful of decision-makers from the right accounts can be far more valuable than thousands of anonymous clicks. How can you make that happen right off the bat? If you're a Marketer who wants to learn more about ABM, brand marketing, creator-led advertising, attribution challenges, and why the future of B2B marketing is about knowing who engaged, this is the episode for you.   Wrike brings structure, visibility, and accountability to work, so companies can make better business decisions, improve efficiency, and reduce risk.

Ps Adam discusses various monuments to famous people. He then gets more serious when he discusses the Tower of Babel! He then compares it to Joshua's monument that glorified God. What monuments shall we leave for future generations? Ps Adam has all the scriptures to assist us with that.

Ps Adam describes the benefits of our annual Love and Legacy appeal for those in the future. He then goes through the main events of Jacob's life. With love, Jacob ended those by digging a well for his community. Many decades later, his well caused a whole village to have a supernatural move. How? (We can do that, too!)

Ps Joey is away at a Women's Conference in Brisbane. Ps Adam describes how he feels while she's away. Listen to this!  It's how God feels when we're away! Ps Adam then examines the Song of Solomon - a (hot) Love Song between a King and his Bride. That is also an allegory of us! Don't miss this one. It's mighty.

Ps Adam immediately opens with Genesis 1:1! What happens if we don't obey? Ps Adam presents some vivid Biblical examples. They can realistically be aligned with our own lives. He discusses 4 reasons which can cause us to not obey and how we can deal with them.

Description to follow.

Ps Adam begins the Easter story by listing all the many people who were involved in one way or another with the Resurrection story. He suggests, "We often see ourselves among them". At the end, he asks, "Where are you in this story?" That will be the most important question of your life! Your answer?

Ps Adam reads from several Old Testament passages that prophesied the coming of Jesus and His purpose. He then reads from the New Testament. It is astonishing as to just how accurate those prophecies were! He then uses 3 points to emphasise what they all mean for us and our lives.

Ps Adam introduces anointing to us. It means to set apart and appoint someone for a purpose. Who qualifies for that? What is the purpose? Ps Adam has all the answers and they are from the scriptures. You won't want to miss out on this one!

After introducing this topic, Ps Adam then proceeds to the question that we may have all thought, any number of times: "Am I enough?" Comparing ourselves with Christians who we think are better than us? Ps Adam checks with many scriptures to answer this question.

Ps Adam introduces our New Year by saying "New Year, New Mercies". He relates some of his failings in 2025 and how he will Resolve to be better in 2026 - under God's mercies. He defines 'Resolve' and then presents, in detail, 3 points with scriptures to assist us to hold onto our Resolve in 2026. God knows.

Ps Adam reminds us of a song released in 1991, "Mary, Did You Know?" The songwriter asks Mary several questions to see if she knew what Jesus would do later on. The questions were not answered in the song. Enjoy this amazing journey through both the Old and New Testaments as Ps Adam searches for the answers.

It's nearly Christmas! Ps Adam amusingly lists many planning details and ends with humorous tales of family holiday RoadTrips. He then gets serious about the RoadTrip we are all on - our journey with Jesus. He uses many scriptures and details 3 points for success in our journey.

Ps Adam begins with reading from John 1:1-14 which reminds us that Jesus is God and He came to earth as a man. Ps Adam continues with describing key moments of Jesus' life here and arriving at what Jesus said He wants of us. Many Scriptures showing the way! He elaborates on 3 points of how we can fulfil Jesus' requests of us. 

Ps Adam opens with discussing all the fast, easy, instant aspects of modern living and how they can prevent us from reaching the end of the waiting period. He shows there is worth, value, and growth while waiting, and how we can overcome our human weaknesses to obtain those.

Ps Adam describes some people expecting the Rapture, including the disciples in the Upper Room. God has a purpose for us all. Too often it is not yet! How do we best spend the waiting time? Ps Adam addresses this with many scriptures and 3 steps.

Don't panic! If you think you can't sing, Ps Adam has the answers for you. Staying mostly in the Psalms, he illustrates how praise and worship can affect our lives in many ways. Yes, even in the 'bad' times! He presents 3 key points for us to consider.

Daniel refused to bow down to the idolatry in Babylon. Instead, he prayed through an Open Window. Ps Adam leads us through Daniel's trials to encourage us to have the same boldness in preaching the Gospel and not be ashamed. He elaborates with 3 points.

Ps Adam attended St Joseph's Catholic primary school as a child. It was the first time he came across the term 'Holy Water'. Today he leads us through many times that God and Jesus connected with people and water. Some times were good and some desperate. Listen and see God's blessing every time in 3 kinds of situation.

Ps Adam relates a time when he was very young and doubted. He's not alone. He visits scriptures to reveal many who doubted. Doubt is often recognised by BUTs. e.g. God wanted me to BUT ..... Ps Adam elaborates on BUTs with 3 valuable points to help us with our doubts..1. God has called me BUT I think He has the wrong guy.2. God wants to bring me a breakthrough BUT it isn't happening how I thought.3. God wants to restore me to life BUT I've been dead too long.

Around the story of Moses and the plagues of Egypt, Ps Adam reveals that the most important weapon for Peacemakers is ..... Prayer. 

A stolen election. A government crackdown. And a man who became America's most hunted artist.On January 6th, 2021, Adam Villarreal showed up as a witness to history. But in the blink of an eye, the state branded him a domestic terrorist. Betrayed by his own blood. Tracked by federal agencies. And pushed into the shadows by a system that punishes dissent more than crime.Tonight, we bring you the untold story of a free man turned fugitive—an artist, entrepreneur, and patriot forced to go underground just for standing too close to the truth.From the fiery aftermath of Minneapolis to the silent tyranny sweeping the heartland, Adam's journey reveals the dark underbelly of a nation at war with its own people. This isn't just a January 6th story—it's a warning. A testimony. A reckoning.If you think you know what happened on J6... think again.Joining us now, live and unfiltered: Adam Ryan Villarreal.Presented in partnership with: American Made Foundation & American Made Actionhttps://AmericanMadeFoundation.orghttps://AmericanMadeAction.org-Follow: ANN VANDERSTEEL https://AnnVandersteel.comMake sure you follow Maverick Broadcasting Network on the following platforms:Pickax: https://pickax.com/maverickbroadcastingRumble: https://rumble.com/c/maverickbroadcasting Substack: https://maverickbroadcasting.substack.comX: https://x.com/mavbroadcastnet Maverick Broadcasting Network benefits when you shop with the following companies:MY GOLD GUY - https://mygoldguy.com/mbnAs inflation surges and global elites toy with our financial future, My Gold Guy empowers you to safeguard your wealth with physical gold and silver – a real asset for real Americans.

Following on from last week, Ps Adam reminds us that we are in a spiritual battle. To attain peace, we need to wage war in the spiritual dimension. How do we do that? What are we up against? Ps Adam doesn't miss a beat as he leads us through the scriptures for the answers.

Ps Adam relates a real-life, personal example of a family war and a peacemaker. It sets the stage for examining the complexities of war and peace. He gives biblical examples of peacemakers over the years. He also examines how we can be a peacemaker, but there is a right way and a wrong way to do that. He gives practical examples.

Today, we celebrated our annual Love and Legacy fundraising effort. We saw what an amazing providential work God has graced us with throughout the year. Ps Adam followed that up with speaking on Creating a House. Who is the house for? God, of course. And Christians. And the city of Bundaberg. Using many scriptures, Ps Adam shows us just how important it can be and how exciting it can be as well.

The early church saw the Gospel spread across the known world. Ps Adam explores the habits and patterns of Jesus' followers that saw them impact the lives of thousands through the power of God.

What do we gain from fellowship? Ps Adam highlights three life changing benefits we take away from coming together in social settings and small gatherings.

Jim is joined by NBA sports podcaster Adam Ryan to break down the hall of fame candidacy of former NBA power forward Terry Cummings. First, Jim and Adam cover the top 3 picks of the 1982 NBA Draft (10:01).

Finally, Adam and Jim rank Terry among the best power forwards of the 1980s (43:15), before making a final call on whether or not Cummings deserves a place in the Basketball Hall of Fame (47:40).

Adam Ryan, CEO of Workweek, joined me this week to discuss his recent warning that the newsletter sector is overheated. Some points from the conversation:Newsletters are a commodity. The number of newsletters is growing faster than the number of readers. AI tools and cheap platforms like Beehiv have made launching one easy, but most newsletters lack true audience affinity.The inbox is not really a direct connection. It's a platform like any other, subject to change. Apple's Mail Privacy Protection has broken open rates, AI tools like Superhuman summarize newsletters without opening them, and inboxes are being segmented, reducing visibility.Paid growth is a weak foundation. Many newsletters rely on paid acquisition and cross-promotion. The moment that engine turns off, engagement often collapses because there's no real audience connection.Winners are thinking beyond email. The most successful publishers are building businesses around community, events, and services. Morning Brew, Workweek, and Lenny's Newsletter all extend beyond just newsletters.Newsletters are a starting point, not a business. They are an MVP—a way to build an audience—but real success comes from expanding into new distribution and monetization channels.

Adam Ryan, former president of The Hustle and cofounder of Workweek, wants to rethink the B2B model. Workweek is banking on finding individuals – creators, if you will – to build audiences around. The bet is that individuals, particularly but not exclusively those who are practitioners in the field, can build deeper connections with audiences while benefiting from the infrastructure, services and halo effect of a parent media brand. Some highlights from our discussion: Don't raise too much money. Adam spent part of his career at Spiceworks, a professional network for IT professionals. The company identified an underserved community and executed on the opportunity, only to have an unsatisfying outcome. “It was a great company, bad cap table,” Adam said. “They actually made a ton of money. They didn't need to raise that much money. And then because they did, they made terrible decisions, long term.” You can be professional and have personality. Workweek is leaning on its network of 19 creators to be front and center. It doesn't have an editor-in-chief and instead relies on its newsletter writers to chart their own path that hews closely to what motivates them. Nicole Casperson, for instance, writes WTFintech and focuses often on diversity and inclusion issues that are important to her personally. Sector expertise is critical. Not all Workweek creators worked in the fields they cover, but many do. Workweek writer Nik Sharma, for instance, is a DTC marketer. This hands-on familiarity with the issues in these fields in invaluable, so long as it is also married with the ability to clearly communicate and consistently produce valuable pieces. “The reason why [B2B content] is kind of boring is because you have a lot of people that have never done those jobs,” he said . “They're just like listening and regurgitating. They're not like coming from a point of action.” Paid acquisition is more than a shortcut. Publishers used to have an aversion to admitting to buying traffic. I can remember BuzzFeed making sure to point out it only bought ads for its sponsor content, not editorial. But Adam saw how an effective paid audience development strategy can accelerate growth. For instance, Workweek's The Marketing Millennials property grew by 7,000 newsletter subscribers organically in seven weeks while paid acquisition added 20,000. So long as a company is confident in its cost per subscriber number, and is focused on quality of acquired subscribers, paid acquisition is an important tool. Overall, Workweek pays to acquire nearly half its overall list at an average cost of $10 per subscriber. You need connective tissue. Workweek has cast a broad net in its first eight months of existence, with newsletters focused on everything from cannabis to fin tech to memes to franchises to marketing. It has since refined the model around “pods” of core categories. Workweek has clusters around areas like startups and investing, health, marketing and fintech. “​​It just allowed the business to focus on marketing allows our business to essentially have more efficiencies,” Adam said.

On this week's episode of inTheir20s, we chatted with Workweek co-founder and CEO Adam Ryan. Adam and Workweek are building a new kind of media company that empowers creators to leverage their industry experience through engaging and insightful newsletters. In this episode of inTheir20s, Adam spoke about the benefit of being a deep generalist throughout your 20s. Deep generalism is the process of having a wide net of experiences across multiple industries and verticals. Adam explained how deep generalism helped him find career success before discussing what he is building with Workweek.
