The workplace has fundamentally transformed, dramatically increasing the emotional demands on leaders at all levels. From managing virtual teams to navigating workforce polarization, today's leaders face unprecedented challenges that require a new set of emotional skills to thrive.Executive coach and leadership strategist Dina Denham-Smith joins Bob Goodwin to discuss her new book, "Emotionally Charged: How to Lead in the New World of Work," revealing how emotions serve as critical data for effective leadership. Drawing from over 25 years of experience coaching senior executives at companies like Adobe, Netflix, and Goldman Sachs, Dina breaks down the misconceptions that prevent leaders from harnessing the power of emotions in the workplace.Dina and Bob explore the powerful "beach ball" analogy that illustrates what happens when emotions are suppressed rather than processed appropriately. Dina explains how leaders navigate the "authenticity paradox" – being genuine enough to build trust while maintaining appropriate professional boundaries. She provides practical steps for developing emotional intelligence, from recognizing physical sensations that signal emotional responses to identifying specific emotions beyond simplistic categories.The conversation tackles the current leadership landscape, including how some high-profile CEOs are taking harder stances toward employees in today's tighter labor market. Dina offers compelling counterarguments, explaining why emotionally intelligent leadership remains crucial for long-term performance and engagement. We also discuss the opportunity AI presents to focus more deeply on the human aspects of leadership that technology cannot replicate.Whether you're struggling with burnout, managing team conflicts, or simply looking to enhance your leadership effectiveness, this episode offers science-backed insights and practical strategies to develop the emotional skills essential for today's complex workplace challenges. Support the showFeature Your Brand on the HRchat PodcastThe HRchat show has had 100,000s of downloads and is frequently listed as one of the most popular global podcasts for HR pros, Talent execs and leaders.

Show of hands, how many of us have used an Adobe tool in our careers? Chances are, that's most of us. This week's guest, Kylee Peña, is working on marrying AI into our beloved tools, including Premiere and Photoshop. Not only can these integrations make tools easier to learn for new learners, they can also help with ideation and creativity.  What sort of challenges are product marketers facing when it comes to putting AI features into existing products? First, Kylee says it's best to be clear about expectations. A way to combat this is to show real live demos. Another way is to be honest about the product and its limitations.  And, how can AI messaging be more effective? Resonating and relating to people on an emotional level is the key.  If you're a marketer who wants to learn more about how AI is being integrated with your already existing tools, this is the episode for you.  Follow Kylee: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kylee-pena/ Follow Daniel: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themarketingmillennials/featured Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/Dmurr68 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-murray-marketing Sign up for The Marketing Millennials newsletter: www.workweek.com/brand/the-marketing-millennials Daniel is a Workweek friend, working to produce amazing podcasts.

In this episode, Eric sits down with Åsa Borg, the Chief Marketing & Commercial Operations Officer at Polestar, the Swedish electric performance car brand that's challenging the automotive industry. Since launching in 2017, Polestar has rapidly expanded to 27 markets globally with their lineup of electric vehicles. Åsa brings her wealth of experience from 20 years at Volvo Cars to this challenger brand, offering unique insights on the difference between marketing for an established brand versus building one from scratch.One of the key takeaways from this conversation is how Polestar approached sustainability—making it core to their brand identity rather than just a marketing message. Åsa shares that transparency is a fundamental value for Polestar, especially in an industry that has historically hidden its environmental impact. We also dive into their decision to bring creative and media capabilities in-house, which has allowed for greater consistency, speed, and control over their brand expression across all 27 markets. Another fascinating aspect of our discussion explores how AI is being integrated into their marketing operations, from improving translation to maintaining brand tonality across markets. If you're interested in automotive marketing, sustainability branding, or building in-house creative capabilities, this episode is packed with valuable insights!Watch the video version of this podcast on Youtube ▶️: https://youtu.be/fSEW2Vl2Sf8

The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn – 00:00 In this week’s In-Ear Insights, let’s talk about Oh, Katie, it’s your favorite term—digital transformation, specifically AI transformation. The context for this is we got an email from a colleague, a friend, who said, “Hey, I want to talk about how we could be using AI to take our company’s stuff”—they’re a software company—”and get it to parity with the the the current environment. And there’s got to be a way, an AI way to do that.” We both had strong reactions to this, and I I’m happy to share mine in a little bit, but I wanted to get your take on this person’s request. How do I use AI to to catch up to where the rest of my industry is right now? Katie Robbert – 00:49 I feel like it goes back to that very old, keeping up with the Joneses kind of phrasing, where it’s like, gosh, I’m gonna throw a bunch of cliches at you. The grass is greener. Keeping up with the Joneses—all those things where you look over the fence and you see what the other guy is doing, and you think, I want that. Versus looking at your own environment, look at your own home. What you have, and saying, you know what? This is good. This suits me. And that’s the challenge I have when I hear things like that, of, do I need—I mean, I I went through this myself a couple weeks ago. We talked about it when we talked about MCPs on the podcast. It started with, am I falling behind? Katie Robbert – 01:37 Do I need to be keeping up with the Joneses? And the answer was no. I need to stay the course and do what I’m doing. Yes, I need to be aware and not put my head in the sand. But trying to do what other people are seemingly doing doesn’t fit my needs or the needs of the company. It’s not where I’m needed. And so when I see even bigger initiatives to try to keep up with the industry as a whole, my first question is, why? What is it that is going to benefit your company, your bottom line, by burning everyone out to try to be where your competitor is down the street? What what is the need? How is that useful? What is the purpose of trying to, one for one, compete with the guy down the street? Katie Robbert – 02:39 And I’m a competitive person. I want to be the best. But I also know that there are some things you just don’t need to chase. I’m not like a I’m not someone who hustles. I’m not trying to burn my the candle at both ends—again, all the cliches. But I want what we’re building, Trust Insights, to be the best. A lot of that means blocking out the noise of what anyone else is doing. So that’s, I don’t know, that’s my opinion. Yes, you need to be aware of what other people are working on, but that doesn’t mean that it’s the right decision for you. Christopher S. Penn – 03:21 When I think about this particular example, and there have been a lot of discussions like this lately, people saying, yeah, I’m falling behind, here’s what I do. I’m not using AI effectively. It comes down to this idea of optimization versus innovation. Optimization is make the thing you’re doing bigger, better, faster and cheaper. And there’s a lot of good reasons to do that. There’s always things you can be more efficient about. There’s always things you can be you can make better. When you get to innovation or transformation, it’s about doing something different, something that your customers want and they would find great value in, but it’s different than what you do. Christopher S. Penn – 04:08 When I think about content marketing as an example, all these companies saying, we’re going to help you get found in AI, we’re going to make sure your content is visible and stuff. And I keep going back to, does the world need another blog post? Does the world need another pile of corporate slop that is maybe better slop than what you’ve created previously, but it’s still—I I keep coming back to the 5 Ps. Does the audience actually want this? The people are actually going to buy something for you. Do they want another blog post from you? Do they want a better optimized blog post? I think there’s there is merit to saying, yeah, we want our content to be found by AI for sure, we want tools to make that process easier. Christopher S. Penn – 04:57 But I I keep thinking back to, is that something that people are going to find value in enough that they’re going to raise their hand and say, what else do you do? Katie Robbert – 05:09 Well, and I think that’s really the key. And one of the biggest challenges of doing a competitive analysis is you looking at what other people around you do who do similar things and then trying to meet them where they are. Oftentimes, not all the time, but oftentimes what’s left out of a competitive analysis is what your audience cares about. And so it’s two different tracks. You have, here’s what my competitors are doing, here’s what my audience cares about. And sometimes there’s a big chasm in between them because you’re so focused on being the best and being the smartest and being first that you’re not even looking at the fact that your audience doesn’t care about that. They just want you to solve their problem. Katie Robbert – 06:00 They don’t care if you have 30 awards on the shelf that says best in class in your thing, in your industry. A lot of people don’t care about that. They just want to know that when they open up their laptop or they whatever, first thing in the morning, there’s not going to be an issue with whatever it is they’ve bought from you. That’s really what it comes down to is don’t make their life harder, make it easier. And so where do you fit into that conversation versus what everyone else is doing? And again, I get it. I am human. Katie Robbert – 06:37 And a couple of weeks ago, Chris, we had this conversation because I started seeing all the hype and everyone else and they’re posting these things, and I got caught up momentarily thinking, I need to do more. I need to be more of a thought leader. I need to do all these things. Do you hear me? I need to. I. I need to. Me, me. It’s not about me. It’s not. People are not saying, Katie, you need to do more. They’re saying, I need my problem solved. Me, the customer. I don’t care if you’re a top voice on LinkedIn. I care if you can solve my problem. Christopher S. Penn – 07:18 And so when we think about this idea of getting to parity in your industry or getting past it, one of the things that in this particular instance occurred to me is the world doesn’t need another blog post. It doesn’t need another blog optimization tool. What your customers need is they—to quote our friend Mitch Joel, “Don’t be another thing on someone’s to do list.” What can your software do? What can your company do to remove things from my to do list? If you take things away from my to do list and get them done for me, I will be deliriously happy with you and I will give you as much money as I possibly can. That’s sort of the first step in product innovation is what can we do to make less work for our customers rather than more? Christopher S. Penn – 08:06 And then the second thing is looking at the big picture in things like content marketing to say, where is content going again? It’s like business cliche day. Wayne Gretzky’s famous quote, “I don’t skate where the puck is. I skate where the puck is going.” Do you know where the puck is going? Is that on your radar? And this is where things like Generative AI can be helpful to say, what are the gaps? Where do the things that are? How are things evolving? Are we are people doing more with interactives? Are they doing more in the real world? Are they doing more with visibles? I did a demo recently on my phone using a LiDAR scanner to make an accurate 3D replica of an interior space. Christopher S. Penn – 08:49 As an example of, here’s how you can use this thing, then take the model file, feed it to Generative AI and say, here’s how you could have Generative AI redesign your house using only digital assets. So you could actually get a, here’s where the couch could go kind of thing that’s useful to a customer to say, I want to see your product in my environment, or I want to see how you would rebuild this living room to be more of what I want. But I feel like when someone’s asking, am I falling behind? How? Why can’t I transform with AI, it kind of goes back to again, what you always say, which is you’re leading with the technology, not with what the customer actually wants. Now here’s my one question for you that’s kind of a nuance on this. Christopher S. Penn – 09:39 If someone doesn’t know what the platform is capable of, how do they get smart about that without getting locked into being technology first? Katie Robbert – 09:54 There is nothing saying that you can’t do your research on any given platform. You don’t have to use the 5 Ps for that. That’s just common sense. It’s natural curiosity. It’s like, huh, I wonder what OpenAI can do? Huh? I wonder what Google can do. I wonder what kind of things they have. You don’t need the 5 Ps to be curious. It’s when you start making decisions and when you start taking the credit card out of the wallet and asking people on your team to take on more responsibility or changing your KPIs or whatever, it’s when you start getting into making decisions. But you can be curious about any platform. You don’t need the 5 Ps for that. If you want to go ahead and say, I wonder what this button does? Katie Robbert – 10:42 Great, that’s just R and D. That’s just good old fashioned Research, that’s fine. And there is a place for that. And Chris, that’s something that you and I talk about internally a lot, is you are someone who needs the time and the space to do that, to explore without really any kind of goal in mind. And I think that’s totally fine. Where we start to put guardrails around it is the amount of time spent. It’s not that you’re looking for a specific outcome. It’s that if we have an eight hour day, we can’t have you spending seven and a half hours of that day playing with new toys and only 30 minutes doing actual work. We would actually sort of like the reverse to happen. But I think there is absolutely room for that kind of experimentation in every day. Katie Robbert – 11:34 In the workflow. There has to be, there should be that. That’s what allows people’s brains to stretch and think creatively and develop those additional skills to figure out like, are there better solutions to this problem that I’m having? I saw, I don’t remember what it was, and it actually may have been something, Chris, that you had reposted, but I saw a quote, something like, there’s more solutions than problems. And so chances are there’s something out there who can that can do this thing better, faster, smarter, cheaper than you’re currently doing it. So you have to have the time to research it in order to figure that out. But when you start getting to a decision, that’s when you bring the 5 Ps back in. Christopher S. Penn – 12:19 Yeah, I almost feel like there’s kind of a life cycle. Optimization and innovation. Yeah, optimization gets you bigger, better, faster, cheaper, until you hit diminishing returns. You’re like, okay, we’ve squeezed all the juice here. Now we’re getting pulpy rind. It’s time for a new piece of fruit. And once you reach that point, then you say, okay, we need to do something different to expand, to keep growing. And this is where again, I feel like a lot of folks who advocate for AI transformation or digital transformation are kind of missing the boat. It’s not doing more of what you’re already doing with AI. It’s That’s still optimization. It’s doing something that is inherent to you but still fundamentally different. Christopher S. Penn – 13:08 So a good example, there was a company in the 1930s called Mitsuboshi, was in occupied Korea at the time, and they sold dried fish and seaweed. They were an exporter and they made their money. And then when Korea got liberated, they kept their expertise for export and manufacturing. Export. But they pivoted and they renamed the company using Korean instead of Japanese naming once the occupation ended. And now today that company’s Korean name is Samsung. They sell no dried fish anymore. You can’t go to a Samsung store and get dried fish. But they still maintain that purpose and that performance of, let’s export really high quality stuff to the rest of the world. You can get Samsung phones and TVs and refrigerators and stuff, and no dried fish. That’s a transformation. It’s Christopher S. Penn – 14:02 It totally changed what they did, but not necessarily how they did it or why they did it. And with AI, I feel like a lot of the folks who are saying, I’m not, I’m doing a digital transformation. You’re still, you’re still kind of doing the same basic tactical stuff instead of changing into something else. When Trust Insights started, were talking about this not too long ago, were heavily a Google Analytics shop. That’s kind of was our bread and butter for a very long time. We still do that, but it’s not front and center anymore. It is not what the vast majority of our clients are paying us for anymore. Katie Robbert – 14:43 There’s nothing wrong with focusing on optimizing versus transforming. And I think the word transformation, I think we just need to drop it altogether because it’s overused and misunderstood. And so if we said, Trust Insights went through a transformation, it feels like this big magical, like you have the stardust and the sparkles happening and like swirls of clouds and whatnot. But really what we did was we did a pivot to where the market was going to make sure that our services were still relevant. We can still do a Google Analytics audit with the best of them. It’s just not what our audience needs. So we said, hey, ideal customer profile. What do you need? And let us meet you where you are. Call it a transformation, call it a left turn, call it a pivot, whatever you want to call it. Katie Robbert – 15:39 We met our customers where they were. Maybe it was optimizing, whatever, who cares? Who cares what you call it? As long as at the end of the day, you’re giving your customers what they need. Christopher S. Penn – 15:55 The heart of it is still the same, which is, hey, here’s a complicated technology. Let us help you get the most out of it. Whether It’s Google Analytics 4 and it’s wildly unpopular interface, whether it is machine learning and attribution analysis, whether it is generative AI, at the end of the day, our customers are still paying us to help them get more out of the technology and in a lot of ways to help them feel better too. To say, hey, I I feel like I have a handle on things now. I may not be an expert, but at least I’m not stumbling around in the dark. And go back to 2018, 2019 when people got Google Analytics, 2020 when Google Analytics 4 came out, people like, I’m stumbling in the dark around this thing. Yes. Christopher S. Penn – 16:42 And our remit was to help people feel less in the dark. And I feel like no matter what comes along, that kind of like Samsung being a high quality exporter, that’s going to be the through line to everything that we offer. And for the folks who are worried about parity with their industry or that they’re not transforming fast enough, maybe they’ve lost the sight of their through line. Katie Robbert – 17:10 And I think that’s. I was, as you were explaining this, I started thinking about there’s a huge psychology play and a lot of it. When someone says I need to keep up, I need to compete, it’s because we’re feeling insecure about what we bring to the table. That and that there’s nothing wrong with that. When you recognize that you’re starting to feel the way. If you can recognize that you’re starting to feel that way, you need to look around and say, why am I feeling that way? Is it because I’m spending too much time comparing myself to others? Or is it because I don’t think I’m doing a good enough job right here where I stand? And there’s no, I don’t have like, a psychology degree. Katie Robbert – 18:04 I also don’t have a solid answer, but that’s a big part of it. So if someone’s coming to us and saying, I want to be at parody or I feel like I’m falling behind, my first question is to them as humans, not to them as companies. Why do you think you feel that way? What is actually happening that’s making you feel like you’re not performing well enough, you’re not doing enough. Because there is a big part of that. Because for some people, and I don’t want to sort of derail this with a psychology lesson, but for some people it’s never going to be enough. They’re always going to be chasing something more. Katie Robbert – 18:44 And so that can be a good thing, that can be a healthy competition or that can be detrimental to their health and the health of a company. If it’s Never enough if they’re constantly pushing for more and more, and that’s when you start to get into things like, I need to be the richest person, I need to be the smartest person. I need to be the best in it. But like at the cost is to everything else in your life. And so I just want to sort of throw that out there. Of I always try to give a moment of like, let’s do a little bit of self reflection. We don’t have to go too deep, but let’s try to figure out why we’re feeling this way. Christopher S. Penn – 19:27 If you are a company who is legitimately behind, let’s say it’s 2023 and Trust Insights is still a Universal Analytics shop. Google Analytics 4 is going to be making it go away in a very short period of time. And in this fictional world, we did not pivot. If you’re that company, what do you do? Katie? If you if you look around and say, you know what we really are behind, we the industry has moved way ahead of us. Our bread and butter is going to go away because this new GA4 technology has come out and we don’t know a thing about it. Do you rush to catch up or do you take the opportunity to just ditch everything and leap ahead? Christopher S. Penn – 20:12 How do you approach that strategically to say, when you are behind, what’s the next step? Katie Robbert – 20:18 You know, that’s, there’s a lot of dependencies with that question. There’s no, just like, oh, do this and immediately you’re gonna figure it out. Like there’s a lot of things that you would want to consider within your own company. Like do you have certain skill sets? So do you have someone who’s comfortable on camera and could start putting together thought leadership pieces about whatever the new thing is that’s that everybody’s talking about. Can you start to have a voice in that? Can you know, take time? Is it, can you figure it out within your bandwidth and your budget for people to get skilled up? Do you need new people to get skilled up? But ultimately you first need to figure out, okay, if we’re behind, where do we want to go? Katie Robbert – 21:08 Because so let’s say in that example, your Universal Analytics shop, it’s 2023, the deadline is looming. That doesn’t necessarily mean leaping to Google Analytics 4 is the right move because there’s a million and one quote unquote experts out there now in Google Analytics 4. Is that the best move for your company or is there something else? So to your example earlier about Samsung, is there something about the methodology within your company that you could then do something different? You could pivot, you could transform, you could change, you could whatever, but still retain the core foundation? For us, it’s always been data analysis. Whether it’s Universal Analytics, Google Analytics 4, AI, text mining, whatever it is, the core is always the same and it’s data analysis. Katie Robbert – 22:05 So it to me, it doesn’t matter what’s happening in the industry, people will always need to understand what the heck their data is saying. Whatever, sitting on top of it, whatever shiny on top of it, doesn’t really matter. Christopher S. Penn – 22:17 One of the things that as we’re preparing for the show, and I was thinking about the Universal Analytics example, is that there were a lot of people who really liked Universal Analytics because it was one stop shopping. It just kind of did the thing and yeah, it was missing some features and there are definitely things that GA4 did add, but there’s also a great big huge pain in the butt that comes with it. And there are other products on the market, Matomo, which we’ve talked about on the live stream, Adobe Analytics, etc. But there’s nothing saying today that you couldn’t just use generative AI to build your own. Christopher S. Penn – 22:55 To say, here’s what I like about GA4, here’s what I like about Adobe, here’s what I like about Universal Analytics, here’s what I like about Plausible let’s build something that fits our needs and then is in some ways an insurance policy against Google deprecating GA4 in two years or three years or five years because you have your own thing. To me, that is something that would be a logical transformation for a company like Trust Insights, where we could say, you know what, we are good at data analysis, we are good at collecting data, we’re good at data governance, we are good at helping people get the most out of their technology. Christopher S. Penn – 23:33 It is seems like almost a logical evolution, say here is our analytics product now, because we know that it meets the needs of the actual marketers and it wasn’t built by engineers for engineering use, which is what GA4 feels like most of the time in a situation like that. Is that a logical transformation for a company like ours? Or if you’re a content marketing company and you see generative AI capable of doing wildly different kinds of content, do you say, you know what, let’s forget about Optimizing blog posts and let’s become a song creation company. Katie Robbert – 24:09 It’s logical, it may not be realistic and I feel like you need to separate the two. So it may be a logical like, oh, this would make sense. You then need to look at, do we have the capability not just to build it, but to maintain it, but to sell it, but to make sure it doesn’t break. To you have to think long term. So I think it’s a good option to put on the table to then explore logistically. Can we do it? Could we do it? Sure. But does it, can we actually make all the pieces happen so that it’s a long standing thing and a sustainable thing? Christopher S. Penn – 24:53 I feel like it’s time for this clip. Yeah, yeah. But your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t— Katie Robbert – 24:58 Stop to think if they should. Christopher S. Penn – 25:02 It might be one of those things that, yeah, the software maintenance side of things would not be a lot of fun. So we do it, probably should not do it. Katie Robbert – 25:14 Yeah. I mean, in a realistic scenario, Trust Insights is not set up to be a SaaS provider. Christopher S. Penn – 25:20 Exactly. But from a going back to where we started the episode on the idea of optimization versus innovation, that is certainly an avenue that should at least be on the table for discussion. And so if you feel like you’re falling behind or you’re not at parity with your industry, thinking through like, what are the logical things, especially if you already are a software company, what would be the logical next step that the customer would actually find value in? And rather than try to optimized for yesterday, try to figure out what your customer would want tomorrow. Katie Robbert – 26:01 I think it just, it goes back to having your own sense of self. And again, we’re all human. We all fall into the hype of look what everybody else is doing. But that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the right move for you. And so you need to figure out what makes sense for you and your customers, not let me be the next shiny object in what everyone else is doing. So, to the question about parody, if somebody came to me and was asking me that question, I would say, why? Why does this make sense for you? Why does it make sense for you to keep up with your peers? What’s in it for your customers that makes the most sense? Christopher S. Penn – 26:43 Exactly. And I think one of the most basic tangible things you could start with is building an ideal customer profile, which Trust Insights does. If you want to go to TrustInsights.ai/services, we build those for people. And then having that conversation so you’re like, hey, synthetic customer, here’s what we do. We feel like we’re falling behind. A Are we or do you not care about all these fancy new bells and whistles? And B if you do care, what would you want us to provide that you’d be willing to pay egregious sums of money for? Katie Robbert – 27:17 And it may be things that you can’t actually do. And that’s okay because that then gives you an opportunity to say, is that where I want to pivot? Or do I partner with someone? Or do I just give it all up and go play in my garden? Which is my always my plan. Christopher S. Penn – 27:34 Katie’s Katie’s Goat Farm will be the natural evolution of Trust Insights in a couple years. Katie Robbert – 27:40 Stay tuned. Christopher S. Penn – 27:41 Exactly.

When Adobe joined Bluesky, they weren't expecting a curse from Ra. But that's exactly what they got—and a whole lot more. In this episode, we dive into how a simple “hello” post became the flashpoint for years of creator frustration—over subscription pricing, AI policies and heavy-handed terms of service.   Was Adobe's stumble just a bad day on social—or the sign of a much bigger problem? We break down the backlash, the brand missteps, and what happens when a creative giant loses its way.   Empires don't fall overnight, but trust is a tricky thing—and Adobe might be running out of it.

It's a late Sunday afternoon, the sun is shining, and the smell of freshly cut grass (and the inevitable hay fever) is drifting through the studio as I sit down to record this episode. After a whirlwind few months — including seven incredible weeks photographing on Crystal Cruises — it feels good to be back behind the mic, even if I'm a little sniffly. In this episode, I'm reflecting on the magic of authentic portrait photography, the rapid rise of AI in our world (and our inboxes!), and why the human touch still matters more than ever. Plus, there's news about upcoming workshops, a few tech tips for cleaner files and faster edits, and a good-natured rant about AI-generated podcast pitches. As always, it's a mix of stories, laughter, tech, and a reminder to stay creative — and stay human. Cheers P.

Um and also the reason I'm recording it quite so late at this stage of the day. It's 'cause my neighbors have been cutting their grass and they do have the loudest petrol mower in the world. I'm Paul, and assuming I can get through this without sneezing, this is the Mastering Portrait Photography  

This week on Grumpy Old Geeks, Fyre Festival rises from the ashes yet again—but not as a festival, because even Billy McFarland finally figured out he's better at selling pipe dreams than tents. Meanwhile, Amazon and Microsoft are tapping the brakes on their AI data center dreams, Google's AI keeps confidently explaining made-up nonsense like it's gospel, and Kevin Roose once again tries to convince us to have empathy for the glorified autocomplete machines. (Spoiler: We won't.) Also, OpenAI wants to buy Chrome even though they can barely afford their own lunch tabs, Perplexity says the quiet part loud about stalking your browser habits, and Meta lays off more VR developers while pretending they care about human rights.In the “it's all stupid, but at least it's entertaining” department: Uber gets sued for making it harder to cancel than joining Scientology, Adam Neumann dupes investors again, sperm racing is now a real thing (and yes, there's crypto involved), and Bluesky caves to the almighty blue checkmark. Plus, Affinity Suite reminds us you don't have to sell a kidney to escape Adobe, The Wheel of Time gets an open-world game that'll probably drop after the heat death of the universe, and Wednesday Season 2 is on the way, because Netflix refuses to let its only hits rest.Stick around for The Dark Side with Dave where we grumble about Andor Season 2, lament bad writing decisions, geek out over old-school arcade games, and learn that memory colors are apparently a thing. Oh, and if you're feeling fancy, go ahead and thank ChatGPT for wasting millions in server bills—because if Sam Altman's crying about manners costing money, we're grabbing the popcorn.Sponsors:Insta360 - The first 30 people who use code “gog” at store.insta360.com get a free 45” invisible selfie stick worth $25!DeleteMe - Head over to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use the code "GOG" for 20% off.Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

Meet Jesse Kay, the Founder and CEO of Vyber Media. His performance marketing agency focuses squarely on helping brands achieve scalable, data-driven growth that genuinely connects with the Gen Z audience. What began as a side project when Jesse was just 17 years old quickly blossomed. Recognizing the venture's potential, he made the significant decision to leave a role at Goldman Sachs and pour all his energy into building Vyber Media. Today, Vyber Media collaborates with a wide spectrum of companies, ranging from ambitious high-growth startups to established Fortune 500 giants. The agency utilizes a strategic mix of email, SMS, paid marketing, and targeted media strategies to drive high-margin revenue growth and elevate brand engagement across diverse industries. Beyond the agency world, Jesse is no stranger to the microphone. He's hosted a podcast for nearly a decade, featuring insightful interviews with high-profile guests like Jack Dorsey, Mark Cuban, Gary Vaynerchuk, Leslie Berland, and Candace Parker, delving into their journeys and expertise. Jesse's drive also extends to making a difference. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he co-founded the Makin' Lemonade Fund. This initiative successfully mobilized over 400 students, impressively raising $130,000 in only 45 days to support vital nonprofit organizations during a critical time. His work and perspectives have garnered significant attention, with features in prestigious outlets such as The Wall Street Journal, ESPN, Adobe, Fast Company, Inc., Business Insider, and an appearance on the Dr. Phil Show. Jesse's approach is partly shaped by his education at Cornell University, where he studied Persuasion and Social Influence. This academic background provides a unique lens through which he views marketing and entrepreneurship, particularly in understanding the nuances of connecting with younger generations.

"There's a stigma about retiring from pro running, that it's this huge thing and it's so hard. And there are parts of it that are challenging. But I'm seriously so great. I'm loving life." Aisha Praught Leer is no stranger to the Ali on the Run Show. She returns today for her fifth appearance — but it's her first in this new phase of life. Last year, Aisha officially retired from professional running. The longtime Puma athlete, two-time Olympian, Commonwealth Games champion, and six-time Jamaican record holder is now embracing a career in corporate America, while also continuing to be an advocate for professional athletes, and working in front of the camera and on the mic with Citius Mag. In this episode, we're catching up on all of it, including how Aisha feels about that 9–5 life, what her relationship with running is like now that she's no longer competing professionally, and what it's actually like retiring from your dream job in your thirties — and figuring out what comes next.
