Podcasts about Affinity

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.

The conversation also touches on the challenges posed by political influences, the IPO market, and the dangers of affinity fraud in investing.

Canva's mission is to empower the world to design, and by most measures, it's working. Millions of people create content in Canva every day, which means design is no longer something that belongs exclusively to designers. Now, with the acquisition of Affinity, Canva is making a move into professional territory. So what does that actually mean for those of us who make a living in this space? In this episode, Theresa Jackson sits down with Steve Caplin to dig into Affinity by Canva: what it is, how it works, and why the conversation around it goes well beyond the software itself. They give an honest take on where Affinity genuinely impresses and where it still comes up short for professional work, covering the same questions a lot of designers are already wrestling with about their role in a changing industry. If you've felt friction between your design team and the non-designers who use Canva, or if you've found yourself wondering how your job is evolving, this one's worth your time. Episode Highlights Switching between Vector, Pixel, and Layout within a single document is a departure from everything most designers are used to, and Theresa and Steve get into why that matters Theresa calls Affinity Canva's "olive branch" to professional designers, and unpacks why that framing deserves a second look Affinity's live filters and real-time previews create a noticeably different editing experience, and the episode explores what that unlocks "Free" as a pricing strategy has real implications for who gets to call themselves a designer The episode covers what Affinity still lacks, particularly around publishing workflows, automation, and accessibility, and why those gaps keep professionals anchored to InDesign and Adobe The tension between design teams and non-designers using Canva is real, growing, and worth talking about openly Designers are once again being asked to justify their value, and this conversation doesn't shy away from that The bigger question isn't which tool to use; it's what's shifting in the design industry and how to position yourself within that shift Resources CreativePro Week 2026, Nashville, June 29–July 3, 2026: https://creativeproweek.com/ CreativePro Events: https://creativepro.com/events/ Save $100 on any CreativePro event in 2026 with the discount code PODCAST: https://creativepro.com/events/ Get $15 off one year of CreativePro membership with the discount code PODCAST: https://creativepro.com/become-a-member/ Steve Caplin: https://stevecaplin.com/ Theresa Jackson's Self Portrait with Photoshop Displacement Map Filter: https://mir-s3-cdn-cf.behance.net/project_modules/max_3840_webp/00bfb313226357.56271a3df0ccf.jpg Canva Create Keynote: https://www.youtube.com/live/9HkO8masPT0 Affinity Download: https://www.affinity.studio/download Affinity for Photoshop Users by Steve Caplin: https://creativepro.com/affinity-photoshop-users/ YouTube: Displace Filter in Affinity: https://youtu.be/_9ZFMs1GkPg
