Every person on your team has strengths and…non-strengths. So position them to make the most out of their top skills.It's like how in soccer, you position your top goal-scorer as a forward, not running defense, right? The same is true with marketing. In this episode, we're drawing parallels between soccer and marketing. With the help of our special guest, former Director of Brand Strategy, Storytelling & Advocacy at Ciscy, Cindy Valladares, we're taking marketing lessons from the U.S. Women's National Soccer Team. Together, we talk about using your talent the right way, taking calculated risks, and putting fear in the heart of your competitors.About our guest, Cindy ValladaresCindy Valladares is a marketing executive who recently led brand strategy, storytelling and advocacy for Cisco's cybersecurity business unit. A product marketer at heart, she lives by the NIHITO (nothing interesting happens in the office) motto. Cindy has been a speaker at various security, risk and privacy conferences in North America, Europe and Latin America, where she focuses on topics that affect the information security industry. She is a regular contributor at the Cisco Secure blog, shares her perspective on Twitter @cindyv, and can also be found on LinkedIn at www.linkedin.com/in/cindyvalladares/. She holds an international MBA from the University of Ottawa in Canada, and a BBA in Marketing and International Business.What B2B Companies Can Learn From the USWNT:Take calculated risks. You have to try new things and take some risks. That's how you keep your content fresh and find the big successes. Cindy says that when Emma Hayes took over coaching the U.S. Women's National Team, “she made some very unpopular choices, right? Alex Morgan, who everybody thought was going to be called in the roster, she was left out. And so [Emma] had new creative ideas that she wanted to try, and took some calculated risks. And like we say, nothing tried, nothing gained, and you can see the results.” And a few months later, they won the 2024 Paris Olympics.Use your talent the right way. Match their strengths and skills to the role. And put them on tasks they'll perform well on. When everyone is doing work they're good at and that utilizes their strengths, it benefits the whole team. Ian says, “ Part of the Emma Hayes thing is Trinity Rodman flying down the right side of your team is super valuable because she's like one of the best in the world and she's fast and athletic and all that. Having her spam a cross into nobody even though she's good at that too doesn't help your team. That's not a more valuable action. Whereas her trying to take on the defender one on one, if she does win, and now she's driving at the goal with nobody in between her and the goal, that's way more valuable. And like, I think that that's part of what marketing is about, is figuring out what are the more high leverage things that you can do that make a huge difference.”Put fear in the heart of your competitors. Or more like envy. You want your competitors to look at your content and be jealous. Ian says, “ Every team that we played in the Olympics  is absolutely terrified of the front three of our country sprinting after them  with their defenders on their heels. It's like the most terrifying thing in the world is Trinity Rodman sprinting at their backline, right? And I think about this with competitors with your content campaign. Like I talk about the edutainment graph, rated on a scale of one out of 10 educational, one out of 10 entertaining. So rank your content on the graph and before you even plan to make something, is your competitor going to see this and be like, ‘Oh, I'm so jealous, this is great,' Or is it just something that they're gonna like, ‘All right?'” Quotes*”It's  really important in marketing organizations to lead with a leadership style that creates empathy and allows others to do their best, not a culture of fear.”*” That's an important element of a leader, understanding who you have on your team, what motivates and drives them, and how can you create an environment where they can perform and outperform?”Time Stamps[0:55] Meet Cindy Valladares, former Director of Brand Strategy, Storytelling & Advocacy at Cisco[3:41] History and Achievements of the US Women's National Soccer Team[6:38] Equal Pay and Gender Equality Advocacy[8:09] Emma Hayes' Impact on the US Women's National Soccer Team[13:36] Marketing Lessons from Soccer[21:38] Emma Hayes' Coaching Strategies[24:25] Recognizing and Utilizing Team Strengths[25:17] Leveraging Senior Executives in Content[26:49] Maximizing Talent and High-Value Actions[29:11] Understanding Your Audience in Content Strategy[32:36] Creating Impactful and Entertaining Content[35:30] Balancing Brand Awareness and Demand Generation[39:27] Favorite Content Campaigns and Their ImpactLinksConnect with Cindy on LinkedInAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

For Episode 186 we have Jason Aric Jones. Jason recently announced that he was stepping away from 30+ years of working extremely hard for mountain bike trail access and advocacy, and I know that it would be important to have Jason on the show to recount some of the experiences he has had along the way. Jason definitely took a creative approach to getting the job done, which eventually parlayed itself into the DTE Energy Foundation Trails, and multiple roles in statewide advocacy, that are even helping to influence regions around the entire state of Michigan, including the Upper Peninsula.    Topics Include: How Jason got into mountain biking The reasons behind Jason getting into Mountain Bike Advocacy Some of the challenges associated with mountain bike access in the early days Early days of mountain bike advocacy Creative ways to get mountain bikers involved with advocacy in Michigan Getting access to the Waterloo Recreation Area for mountain biking (and how that started) The Hell Riders (Black Hat Advocacy / Civil Disobedience) – FTW!

Meta ha intrapreso una serie di mosse che stanno facendo discutere nell'ambito della tech policy globale: Zuckerberg sembra allontanarsi dall'egemonia democratica, avvicinandosi invece alle posizioni e all'influenza del trumpismo. Questa svolta è accompagnata dalla fine del fact-checking, una maggiore libertà nella moderazione dei contenuti, e l'abbandono dei programmi di diversità e inclusione.Ma cosa spinge Zuckerberg verso questa direzione? Una possibile risposta potrebbe risiedere nelle crescenti normative europee, come il Digital Services Act (DSA) e il Digital Market Act (DMA), che impongono severe regolamentazioni alle piattaforme.

In this episode, we are joined by Retired Sergeant David Sorenson of the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office. Dave is also the founder of Keep'n Safe, a powerful non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the mental health of first responders. With 43 years of experience in law enforcement, including 10 years as a Reserve Officer and 33 years as a full-time Deputy and Sergeant, Dave is a passionate advocate who has been a leading voice in the first responder community for many years. He was an early advocate for seeking counseling and therapy, recognizing the importance of mental health and receiving therapy himself. Through Keep'n Safe, Dave has helped countless responders and their families navigate the challenges of coping with trauma by providing resources to access the help they need. The mission of Keep'n Safe is twofold: first, to assist first responders struggling with the mental and emotional toll of traumatic events by offering vital resources for treatment, and second, to reduce gun violence—both intentional and accidental. The organization plays a critical role in educating first responders about the resources available to treat and survive PTSD, and it also helps fund treatment-related expenses, including insurance co-pays and travel costs for those who need to seek treatment at specialized facilities. In addition to his advocacy work, Dave shares his fascinating experiences as a hostage negotiator, offering gripping stories from his time in the field.

Hello friends and welcome back to Thrive Beyond Size. It's been quite a while since I've shared an interview with you so I'm very excited to share one today. I've become passionate about advocating for weight-inclusive care in healthcare and addressing anti-fat bias and weight discrimination in the world and now I'm introducing you to someone who fights weight discrimination in spas. A spa trip is a day to feel relaxed, pampered, and rejuvenated, but often if you live in a bigger body, a spa visit is anything but. So I'm thrilled to introduce Sherilyn Trompetter, the co-founder of the Larger Luxury Certification that designates businesses as welcoming to bodies of all sizes.Sherilyn Trompetter and her co-founder, Sky McLaughlan, were international business professionals travelling around the world and simply visiting spas worldwide for rest and relaxation. But after another humiliating spa visit that happened only because she is a person in a larger body in a spa, Sherilyn decided nobody else would be hurt the way she was and Larger Luxury was born. I talked to Sherilyn about her personal experiences and how Larger Luxury makes a difference through its online education and certification. Sherilyn explains the many things that negatively impact a spa experience for people with bigger bodies: everything from not having large enough robes to not having tables weight-rated for larger bodies. She also breaks down how easy these issues are to address and how to convey messages of inclusivity in marketing. This conversation is so necessary and the work Larger Luxury is doing is so profound. I enjoyed talking with Sherilyn so much and I truly hope you all find our conversation as encouraging as I did.__About Sherilyn Trompetter:Sherilyn is a compassionate and authentic professional who has worked in various themes of diversity, equity and inclusion for over two decades. Sherilyn brings a trauma-informed approach to consulting organizations and coaching individuals and groups.

She co-founded ACT Alberta: the Action Coalition on Human Trafficking, the leading research-based and outcome-focused human trafficking organization in Alberta.

The discussion delves into the familial legacy of military service, the evolution of brotherly relationships, and the struggles of transitioning to civilian life. The guest shares personal anecdotes about his brother's journey, the challenges faced after injury, and the importance of accountability within the military. Ultimately, the conversation highlights the need for support systems and the role of altruism in healing and finding purpose after loss. This conversation delves into the complexities of transitioning from military service to contracting, the impact of personal relationships on decision-making, and the challenges of dealing with family mental health issues. Tristan shares his journey of navigating the loss of a loved one, the guilt associated with their decisions, and the importance of advocating for traumatic brain injury research. The discussion culminates in the establishment of '22 Jumps', an organization aimed at honoring veterans and supporting mental health initiatives. -TAKEAWAYS- Military service is often a family tradition. Traumatic brain injuries can have lasting effects. Brotherly competition can evolve into something darker. The military culture can amplify aggressive behaviors. Transitioning to civilian life is a significant challenge. Accountability in the military is crucial for healing. Adventure sports can provide a sense of purpose. Guilt can linger after a loved one's injury. Support systems are essential for veterans. Finding purpose after loss is a vital part of recovery. The transition from military to contracting can be purely transactional. Financial incentives often outweigh patriotic motivations in contracting. Relationships can significantly influence personal and professional decisions. Mental health struggles in families can create complex dynamics. It's challenging to help someone who refuses assistance. Guilt and regret are common feelings after losing a loved one. Public embarrassment can be a significant trigger for mental health crises. Forgiveness is a process that can lead to personal growth. Advocacy for traumatic brain injury research is crucial for veterans. Grassroots efforts can lead to substantial fundraising success.
