In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development will “aggressively” crack down on colleges and universities that continue to offer race-based “affinity” housing. Often referred to as “affinity” housing, some universities offer special residence areas for students of specific racial or ethnic identities. Universities often tout these specialized housing options as a way to promote diversity, community, and belonging. Also the latest on the war with Iran as Houthi terrorists in Yemen claimed responsibility for the strikes on two Saudi oil tankers that were moving through the Red Sea on Wednesday. The U.S. and Iran have been trading attacks for more than a week, fueling instability in the Strait of Hormuz and driving Brent crude to nearly $99 a barrel after a roughly 16% gain last week.

On this episode of The Bourbon Life Podcast, Mark is joined by Leah and Quint Pottinger, owners of Affinity Farms, for a fascinating conversation about the critical role agriculture plays in creating exceptional bourbon. Quint shares the remarkable history of his family's farm, which dates back to the late 1700s, making him a ninth-generation farmer. Together, Leah and Quint discuss their individual backgrounds, how they found themselves working together on the farm, and their commitment to preserving both the land and their family's legacy for generations to come. The conversation also explores the cutting-edge technology being implemented at Affinity Farms, including autonomous seeding and other precision agriculture practices that are helping shape the future of farming while maintaining a deep respect for tradition. Mark, Leah, and Quint then dive into the world of growing grains specifically for the bourbon industry. Quint explains how relationships with distilleries are built, the extensive planning required long before a crop is ever planted, and what it takes to consistently produce grain that meets a distillery's exact specifications. They also discuss the fascinating ways that soil composition, field location, growing conditions, and even neighboring vegetation can influence the flavor characteristics of the grain and, ultimately, the whiskey itself. Along the way, they enjoy three exceptional pours: Rock Hill Farms Single Barrel Bourbon Preservation Distillery Pot Distilled Single Barrel Rye (crafted exclusively from grains grown by Affinity Farms) Elijah Craig Barrel Proof C917 Whether you're a bourbon enthusiast, a whiskey nerd, or simply someone who appreciates the stories behind the bottle, this episode offers a unique look at where bourbon truly begins—long before the mash bill reaches the distillery. Be sure to pour yourself a great glass, sit back, and join us for another great episode of The Bourbon Life Podcast.

Ari Paparo sits down with Damian Garbaccio, Chief Commercial and Marketing Officer at Affinity Solutions, and Doug Campbell, Chief Strategy Officer at DoubleVerify, to discuss why 91% of marketers distrust platform-reported results, the rise of outcome-based measurement, the role of verified purchase data, AI-driven optimization, media waste, and the future of advertising accountability.  Takeaways  91% of marketers distrust platform-reported results, signaling a major measurement credibility gap. Brands want to optimize toward real purchase outcomes, but technical and organizational barriers remain. Verified transaction data and independent measurement are becoming essential for improving accountability.  Reducing delays and complexity between purchase data and optimization systems can improve campaign performance.  AI can enhance marketing outcomes, but its effectiveness depends on the quality of the data it receives.  CMOs face growing pressure to prove measurable business results and justify marketing investments.  Chapters  00:00 Introduction to the Affinity Solutions Outcome Marketing Council  00:29 Why the council was created and its mission  01:34 The new report: Measurement's Tipping Point  02:28 Challenges connecting ad exposure to purchase behavior  03:06 Key survey findings and marketer sentiment  03:19 Why 91% of marketers distrust platform-reported results  05:31 Why marketers still rely on proxy metrics  07:10 The value of real purchase and transaction data  08:21 Barriers preventing outcome-based optimization  09:17 Platform measurement challenges and attribution overlap  09:38 Speed, data paths, and optimization challenges  10:53 The importance of third-party measurement  11:10 How much waste exists in media measurement?  13:04 Best practices for verified outcomes and optimization  14:20 How far the industry has progressed in recent years  14:44 AI, data quality, and marketing performance  16:45 Advice for CMOs navigating measurement uncertainty  17:43 Organizational change and financial accountability  18:30 Why the opportunity for innovation remains strong  Guests: Ari Paparo, Damian Garbaccio, Doug Campbell Learn more about your ad choices.
