A dive into the world of friendship with our latest "Friends Like Us" podcast episode! Marina Franklin host special guests Sharaé Nikai and David Lassiter as they talk about their incredible journey creating "The Other Gold" — a film about friendships' complexities. Watch it now on Apple TV and Tubi! Sharaé Nikai - Against industry odds, Jersey City native Sharaé Nikai wrote, produced, co-directed and starred in her very first feature film, "The Other, Gold." It is a heartfelt dramedy that follows a TV writer living in Little Tokyo as she navigates grief, isolation and the rekindling of a former BFF-ship. Out of 13,016 submissions, TOG was invited to world premiere as one of only 10 films in Tribeca's US Narrative Competition. This acclaim led to Nikai being in consideration for the 2025 Oscars, Spirit Awards and Emmys in the Outstanding Television Movie, Directing & Lead Actress categories. It also makes her the first Black female quadruple threat (sole writer/producer, director & star) to qualify for the Academy Awards with no studio or major production company backing. As a producer, Sharaé secured an exclusive Mental Health Awareness partnership for "The Other, Gold" at FOX-owned Tubi and sponsorship for its launch by Women in Film (WIF) and The Entertainment Community Fund. In March 2026, "The Other, Gold" was released worldwide in celebration of Women's History Month exclusively on Apple TV. In addition to TOG, Nikai appears in numerous ad campaigns, films and TV series including Grey's Anatomy and opposite Alison Brie in Sundance's "Horse Girl" (The DuPlass Bros/Netflix). Currently, she is the 2026 international voice of Nordstrom Rack all while developing her dramedy driven TV/film slate. In her spare time, Sharaé takes serious pride in the accent mark over her "e" and is the reigning (read: self-proclaimed) trap karaoke queen. David Lassiter is an American filmmaker, actor, writer, and musician from Jersey City, New Jersey. He co-directed and appeared in the feature film The Other, Gold (2024), which premiered at the Tribeca Festival before streaming on Apple TV+ and Tubi. Before transitioning into filmmaking, Lassiter worked as a fashion model and was signed to Wilhelmina Models, appearing in campaigns and editorial work for brands and publications including Giorgio Armani, Dolce & Gabbana, Vogue, GQ, Banana Republic, Swatch, and Levi's. He later studied acting in New York at HB Studio, Susan Batson Studio, and WB Workshops while appearing in national campaigns for Verizon, Macy's, and American Eagle. Lassiter also collaborated with Viacom on street-interview segments featured on MTV and MTV2.

Most teams can identify friction in their customer experience. The challenge is convincing leadership to invest in fixing it. Digital leaders from Walmart, FanDuel, US Bank, and American Eagle have all faced that challenge. In this encore episode, hosts Chuck Moxley and Nick Paladino revisit key lessons on elevating frictionless experiences to the C-suite and reveal what separates ideas that get funded from those that don't.Vijay Jayaraman from Walmart explains how teams use peak events like Black Friday and Cyber Monday to quantify the impact of customer experience issues before they become major business problems. Shawn Sheely from US Bank shares how his team reframed accessibility from a compliance requirement into a billion-dollar market opportunity, helping reduce onboarding costs by 70%.Catherine Gignac from American Eagle offers a powerful perspective on designers as connectors, bringing together the work of dozens of stakeholders into a single customer experience.Scott Smith from FanDuel challenges a common assumption: stop obsessing over competitors. Your customers chose your brand for a reason. Instead of copying what others are doing, focus on understanding why your customers engage with you and what keeps them coming back.You'll also hear practical insights on measuring friction, defining the "spine" of an experience, interpreting customer behavior data, and translating customer pain points into business outcomes that executives care about.Key Actionable Takeaways:Quantify friction using peak seasonal periods to justify investment - A problem affecting 10,000 Walmart users today could impact millions on Black Friday; use known high-traffic events to correlate current issues with future revenue impact and demonstrate why fixing seemingly trivial problems matters nowReframe compliance as market opportunity not checkbox - US Bank saw accessibility as a billion-dollar market rather than legal requirement, reduced onboarding costs 70%, and opened entirely new customer channels by simplifying experiences for assistive technology usersPrioritize customer voice over competitive benchmarking - Your customers chose you because your brand resonates with them specifically; copying competitor journeys misses the point because their customers are fundamentally different people with different needs and preferencesWant more tips and strategies about creating frictionless digital experiences?

In this episode we discuss motorcycle tires and tell you the best one, in our opinion. We have had the opportunity to test many. Lurch and I talk about the Harley-Davidson OEM Dunlop, Michelin Commander III, American Eagle (now referred to as AE2), and Metzeler CruiseTec (current OEM tire for Indian Motorcycle). Which one do we think is the best? Listen and find out. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE The Metzeler CruiseTec motorcycle tire delivers a strong balance of grip, stability, and long-distance comfort for riders who want modern performance from a cruiser or touring tire. Designed for heavyweight V-twin motorcycles, the CruiseTec stands out with impressive wet-weather traction and confident cornering characteristics that many riders don't typically expect from a cruiser-focused tire. The dual-compound rear construction helps provide solid mileage while still maintaining excellent edge grip, making the tire feel planted during aggressive riding and smooth during highway touring. Riders often report noticeably improved handling response compared to older-generation cruiser tires, especially on bikes like Harley-Davidson touring models and Indian motorcycles. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! Another major strength of the CruiseTec is ride quality and predictability. The tire warms up quickly, tracks well through sweeping turns, and remains stable at freeway speeds even when carrying luggage or a passenger. Road feedback is confidence inspiring without feeling harsh, and the tread pattern does an effective job evacuating water in rainy conditions. While some riders may find that ultra-high-mileage touring tires last slightly longer, the CruiseTec generally earns praise for prioritizing performance and rider confidence without sacrificing durability. For motorcycle enthusiasts who want a tire that combines sporty handling with touring comfort, the Metzeler CruiseTec is widely considered one of the top choices in the V-twin tire category.

Der DAX geht mit einem Mini-Plus von 0,1 % bei 25.105 Punkten ins Wochenende und bleibt in Schlagdistanz zum Rekord von 25.508 Punkten.

Auch Hewlett Packard, Super Micro Computer und HP legen kräftig zu. Raumfahrtwerte geraten dagegen nach der Explosion einer Blue-Origin-Rakete unter Druck.

Foxconn erhöht wegen KI die Investitionen um 30 %. BMW läuft in Europa stark, China bleibt schwierig. CTS Eventim springt nach 23 % Umsatzplus an. Amazon wird in Australien wegen Produktsicherheit verklagt. Und zum Schluss die Börsenweisheit des Tages. Sie kommt von John C. Bogle: "Suchen Sie nicht die Nadel im Heuhaufen.

Yukon prospector Bernie Kreft joins Mining Stock Daily for a long-form conversation on mineral exploration, project generation, and the decades of persistence required to build successful discoveries in Canada's north. Bernie reflects on the early struggles of the business, from borrowing money for Christmas presents while raising young children to eventually helping generate projects tied to discoveries like Banyan, Sitka, and American Eagle's NAK copper-gold system. The discussion dives deep into how Bernie evaluates ground today, why permitting and access matter just as much as geology, and how years of field experience have shaped his instinct for identifying scalable mineral systems. He also shares stories from decades spent prospecting throughout the Yukon and British Columbia, including the realities of placer mining, following gold-bearing systems back to their source, and recognizing when a property truly has mine-building potential. Bernie explains why he believes the best prospectors think from the “top down,” focusing not only on discovery but on whether a project can realistically become a mine decades into the future. The conversation also highlights the role family plays in the Kreft business, with Bernie working alongside his sons while now thinking about future generations and building something that extends far beyond a single discovery or market cycle. From couch-side deal negotiations to prospecting trips with his children and grandchildren, this episode captures the deeply personal side of exploration and why the search for mineral wealth remains as much about legacy as geology.______Terrahutton empowers junior mining companies to secure investment with immersive, interactive, and visually striking storytelling.

Welcome to the very first episode of Missed The Mark with Jacie Ambrose, a podcast exploring major marketing missteps and the lessons brands can learn from them. In this episode, Jacie dives into the July 2025 American Eagle campaign featuring Sydney Sweeney and the now-infamous tagline, "Sydney Sweeney Has Good Jeans." What was intended as a clever denim pun quickly sparked widespread backlash online, with critics arguing that the wordplay echoed troubling historical themes tied to genetics, beauty standards, and representation. Jacie breaks down the cultural context behind the controversy, the internet's rapid reaction, and the surprising twist that followed, a reported 33% stock increase despite reputation damage. She also contrasts the campaign with Gap's successful Katseye collaboration, highlighting how inclusivity, audience participation, and cultural awareness can shape public reception. This episode explores a question for modern brands: In an era of high media literacy and social awareness, is clever wordplay enough or is cultural context the real strategy?
Join the H-Hour Patron Community at patreon.com/hkpodcasts ***** In this H-Hour episode, I chat with actor and ex-Queen's Royal Hussars Officer Alex Brockdorff about breaking into film/TV via commercial crew work—starting as a runner and becoming a location manager to “keep a roof over my head” while pursuing acting—and why set life suits ex-military planning, teamwork, and initiative. Brockdorff praises the technical craft of production, contrasts commercials with long-form drama, and describes his unconventional audition for Warfare, the film's memory-based scripting, long takes, tight hours, and why it felt special, calling it “fucking grim” with “no sweeping strings” or “American Eagle” heroics. He recounts leaving the Army, bottoming out in 2015, seeking help through Combat Stress and HorseBack UK, and urges veterans to ask for help. ---- Alex Brockdorff Is an actor and former soldier.

Smart Agency Masterclass with Jason Swenk: Podcast for Digital Marketing Agencies
Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Most agencies aren't fragile because of bad systems but because everything runs through the founder. One unexpected hit and the whole thing wobbles. Today's featured guest shares the real-world test no agency owner ever wants: a hemorrhagic stroke that took him out overnight. What happened next is the part every agency owner needs to hear. Because his business didn't collapse. It kept moving, clients stayed, deals closed, and trust carried the weight. If your agency can't function without you, this conversation will feel uncomfortably familiar. Brian Franks is the founder of Where Eagles Dare, a premium branding and storytelling agency working with major retail brands like American Eagle and Five Below. He spent 20+ years rising to VP of Creative at American Eagle before launching his agency over a decade ago. In this episode, we'll discuss: Getting comfortable with a hard question How Brian built a resilient agency Why your network is the real asset Subscribe Apple | Spotify | iHeart Radio Sponsors and Resources E2M Solutions: Today's episode of the Smart Agency Masterclass is sponsored by E2M Solutions, a web design, and development agency that has provided white-label services for the past 10 years to agencies all over the world.

If you disappeared for 30 days (hospital, burnout, family emergency), would your agency come back stronger, the same… or on fire? Most agency owners don't like that question. Because deep down, they already know the answer. This is a question every agency owner should ask, especially if you're doing $1M–$10M, stuck in fulfillment, carrying everything in your head, and telling yourself, "I'll fix the systems later." Brian didn't plan to test his agency this way. In February 2024, he suffered a hemorrhagic stroke and ended up in the ICU for a brain drain. It took weeks of recovery. No warning. And his agency didn't collapse. Here's why that matters. Brian Didn't Build a "Big" Agency. He Built a Resilient One. Brian spent 20 years at American Eagle, rising from graphic designer to VP of Creative. He worked with massive agencies and saw the billings. He also saw the waste and understood what actually mattered. So when he launched Where Eagles Dare, he didn't chase headcount or ego. He sought to build: A small, senior team A premium positioning Deep relationships, not vendor contracts An agency designed around his strengths That's the part most founders miss. They scale complexity instead of clarity. The Lie Agency Owners Believe A lot of agency owners think freedom comes after scale. More clients → more people → more systems → someday freedom. In reality, that path usually leads to: Team chaos Thin margins Constant Slack pings And a founder who can't unplug without guilt Brian flipped that by staying scrappy, limiting active clients, staying close to the work that mattered, and delegating the rest to people he trusted for years. So when life punched him in the face, the agency stepped up. Your Network Is the Real Asset When Brian went down, his network took over. A former American Eagle CMO stepped in to help lead. His wife helped close a major Five Below deal. Longstanding client relationships stayed solid There was no panic, mass client churn, or revenue freefall. That doesn't happen by accident. That happens when you: Play the long game Treat relationships like equity Build trust before you need it Most agencies don't fail because of bad marketing. They fail because everything depends on the founder. The Question You Can't Ignore If you were gone for a month, would your agency be worse, the same, or better? If the answer scares you, good. Because it means you're still early enough to fix it. The Real Goal Isn't Scale. It's Control Brian's story isn't about hustle or heroics. It's about building an agency that: Pays you well Respects your health Doesn't collapse without you Still excites you creatively That's the real win. And if you're tired of being the bottleneck, you're stuck in fulfillment, referrals are your only growth plan, or you're not paying yourself what you should… Then it's time to rebuild. Not bigger, but smarter. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset? Looking to dig deeper into your agency's potential? Check out our Agency Blueprint.
