AI is again in the headlines this week with Anthropic announcing that its AI will do anything to survive...even bust you for cheating on your wife. AI layoffs are starting to hit home. It's almost to the point that people are being laid off "by" AI itself. Joe and Robert uncover the truth. Rand Fishkin discusses 10 ways to understand no-click search...and it's mostly stuff we can actually do. And long live print, as Microsoft launches a new print publication. Winners and losers include LinkedIn commenting and Duolingo. Rants and raves include the new Bitcoin treasury fad and AI Agent pitch decks. ----- This week's links: Anthropic AI Resorts to Blackmail AI Layoffs Are Here The End of Website Traffic Print is Dead.

Google's big marketing event was an explosion of AI - a new home screen, more agents, AI video and even smart bidding. Why? Google's main revenue stream (search ads) is in big trouble.  Is Google going the way of the yellow pages? The boys ponder. And Apple is in trouble too. OpenAI buys IO, run by the designer behind the iPhone. It seems that OpenAI is going into the hardware business, with their sights directly on Apple. In other news, a major newspaper releases the books of the year without real books and Netflix steps in to syndicate Sesame Street. Winners and losers include a furniture store and Peloton. Rants and raves include AI use by writers and the idea of growth marketing. ----- This week's links: Google Marketing Live Major Newspaper Creates Fake Books Netflix to Syndicate Sesame Street OpenAI Buys IO Peloton Dumps CMO AI Writing and Author Tribes ----- This week's sponsor: You don't become the world's most valuable women's sports franchise by accident.

The boys have finally jumped the shark with this episode. But first, Mark Zuckerberg declares war on the advertising industry. Meta's AI Do-It-Yourself tool will either win big or be fly by night. There is no middle ground. The BBC will push its mission and content into TikTok and Instagram. But is it too late to fight disinformation? Max becomes HBO Max (again). It will be just HBO in 15 to 18 months. Marketing winners are Nutter Butter and Warner Brothers. Rants and commentary include AEO and Sperm Racing (yep...you saw that right). ----- This week's links: Zuckerberg's War on Advertising BBC Boss Goes for Truth Max Rebrands Again Nutter Butter Explodes Warner Brothers and Leveraging IP Weird Sperm Racing AEO Dumb or Crazy Smart ----- This week's sponsor: You don't become the world's most valuable women's sports franchise by accident.

It's not a moment – it's a movement. Women's sports teams from the WNBA to women's rugby teams are selling out games from coast to coast. Breakout stars like Olympian Ilona Maher, illustrious former collegiate turned pro players like Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese, and celebrity-backed teams like Angel City Football Club are in the spotlight. So are women's professional sports teams FINALLY getting the recognition they deserve?

The National Women’s Soccer League’s regular season kicks off next week. And thanks in part to a record-breaking media rights agreement and the growth of women’s professional sports across the board, the league is gaining more attention — and investment — than ever. Angel City Football Club became the highest-valued women’s sports team in the world last year when Willow Bay and Bob Iger acquired a controlling stake in the franchise for $250 million. Julie Uhrman, the team’s CEO and co-founder, says Angel City is just the beginning. On the show today, Uhrman explains how she and her co-founders got investors to see their vision, why a game day experience that leaves you with FOMO is key to Angel City’s growth, and how to watch the NWSL’s season. Later, how proposed funding cuts at the National Institutes of Health could leave a generational impact on the United States’ reputation as a science leader. And Adam Grant, host of the “Re:Thinking” podcast, answers the Make Me Smart question. Here’s everything we talked about today: “How Angel City became ‘the most valuable women's sports team in the world' with new owners” from The Athletic “Ranking new 2025 NWSL team jerseys: Which kits hit?” from ESPN “Without the Draft, NWSL Clubs Are Navigating a Changing Landscape in College Recruitment” from Sports Illustrated “NWSL announces landmark media partnerships with CBS Sports, ESPN, Prime Video and Scripps Sports” from NWSL “National Women's Soccer League Playoffs Docuseries Gets Premiere Date At Prime Video” from Deadline Listen: Adam Grant’s interview with Sabri Ben-Achour on Marketplace Morning Report Got a question or comment for the hosts?

Angel City Football Club (ACFC) was founded in 2020 by venture capitalist Kara Nortman, entrepreneur Julie Uhrman, and actor and activist Natalie Portman. As outsiders to professional sports, the all-female founding team had rewritten the playbook for how to build a sports franchise by applying lessons from the tech and entertainment industries. The club's early success was reflected in its market valuation of $250 million as of its sale in July 2024 — the highest in the National Women's Soccer League. Equally important, ACFC had started to bend the curve toward greater pay equity in women's sports — the club's ultimate goal. But the founders knew there was much more to do to capitalize on the club's momentum. As they developed ACFC's first three-year strategic plan in 2024, they weighed the most effective ways to build value for the franchise. Was it better to allocate the incremental budget to investments in digital brand building or to investments in the on-field product?

The high-flying Angel City Football Club has new controlling stake owners: Disney CEO Bob Iger and his wife, USC Annenberg dean, Willow Bay. Their investment takes Angel City to a valuation of $250 million — the highest ever for a professional women's sports team. When the Los Angeles team started, franchises in its league went for as little as $2 million. In this episode, originally recorded in February 2024 for Masters of Scale, ACFC co-founders Kara Nortman and Julie Uhrman talk to host Jeff Berman about the game-changing strategies behind the team, created with a third co-founder, actor and activist Natalie Portman.Visit the Rapid Response website here: https://www.rapidresponseshow.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I want you to close your eyes for a moment. Zoom out on your life. Look at it from a birds'-eye view. What do you see? Where are you living with intention and purpose? Where are you living out of alignment? In those places where you're living in your truth, what kind of impact are you making on the people and things around you? In the areas where you're not in alignment, what's the impact there? What you may observe is that where you are living with intention and purpose, you are making a much more meaningful impact on the world around you. And where you're living out of alignment, you may be making smaller waves and/or potentially even a negative impact. Our guest today, Jess Smith, lives on purpose. In every aspect of life. Among many other roles, she is primarily a mom of two, a wife, industry leader in sports and the Head of Revenue for the Angel City Football Club.

Be sure to listen until the end where she talks about leading a breakout session on the valuation of women in sports for hundreds of industry change-makers during an ESPNW event - all while holding her three-year-old daughter on her hip.Jess has many stories of impact.

Founded in July 2020 and starting play in the NWSL in 2022, Angel City FC has captivated widespread interest and shown the momentum behind women's sports. Notable about the team is it is led by a majority female ownership group that includes venture capitalists, actors, professional athletes, influencers and more. In this episode, Coach Coombe discusses: · What it was like becoming the head coach of Angel City FC when the team hadn't signed any players nor played any games and how she approached the opportunity to build a team from scratch; · What went into selecting the team's first roster of players; · The culture that is being built and how the players signed have shaped it Coach Coombe then discusses what needs to be done to grow meaningful opportunities for women's soccer and its players. She discusses how the start-up mindset that Angel City FC has used to scale its club is a model other teams should look at when it comes to advancing the growth of women's sport. Coach Coombe then explains how she got into investing and the setbacks she faced in preparing for retirement as she moved from the U.K. to U.S. to advance her coaching career. She highlights the hurdles she's seen that hold women's sport athletes back from investing and why she's partnering with TIAA to close the retirement pay gap. Finally, Coach Coombe tells us what she's up to these days and gives a good explanation for how coaches can productively use the offseason to prepare for the next season. This is a great episode for anyone desiring to build and strengthen a team's or corporation's culture. It also has great insights for growing women's sports.
