I love a good I started from one place and made my way up to the top story, and this is what I have for you today with my guest, Kelly Hiller. Kelly's story is unique because she has been with Purdue University and Purdue Alumni Association a combined total of over 20 years! You do not hear that very often. We often hear that the employee had to leave an organization to find their next opportunity. What if you could craft it for yourself inside one organization? And better yet, what if you had the guts to let everyone know that you were the replacement and that they didn't need to recruit to fill the role? That takes bravery and guts, and Kelly's story inspired me deeply.During our conversation, we also chatted about:What it was like for Kelly to transition to the Chief Marketing Officer at Purdue University. How she set clear boundaries with management regarding how she was different than her predecessor, so they know what they were getting right up front.How she continually works to build relationships within her team, including having a one-on-one meeting with every person in her group once per year.How Kelly has navigated Imposter Phenomenon as she has ascended to higher roles in leadership.What perceptions Kelly and her female-leadership team have faced.And so much more.One thing among many that I love about Kelly is her refreshing honesty. It was obvious that she is authentic, and I believe that this is a sign of a true leader. Listen in for real leadership talk!Here is more about Kelly:Kelly Hiller is Chief Marketing Officer at Purdue University, where she leads the marketing strategy, brand, creative, and social teams responsible for bringing the Purdue University and Purdue Global brands to life. Overseeing a full-service in-house agency, she drives initiatives that build reputation, generate demand, and tell compelling stories across digital, social, content, and live experiences. A passionate advocate for community impact and leadership, Kelly also serves on her local school board. Before we begin, please be sure to share this show with a family member, friend or colleague.

Scott Sanborn is the CEO of Happen Bank, the company known until this summer as LendingClub. He is the first guest to appear on the show four times, and each visit has caught the company at a turning point. This time it is the rebrand: we talk about why the LendingClub name no longer fit, what six years of running a chartered bank has taught him, and how he is preparing for a world where AI agents shop for financial products on a consumer's behalf.What We CoveredTen years as CEO and why it has never been the same jobWhy the LendingClub name no longer fit the businessThe customer research behind the Happen Bank brandHow they will measure whether the rebrand is workingWhat it took to get a bank charter six years agoShepherds, not sheriffs: building the risk and governance teamLevelUp Savings, LevelUp Checking and DebtIQInnovating on the loan product with their own balance sheetThe balance sheet and marketplace mixThe switch to fair value accountingHow AI is changing operations and discoveryGetting ready for AI agents that shop on consumers' behalfHome improvement lending and home equityKey TakeawaysA brand is a promise, and the old name could not carry it. Customers told the company two things: they did not know it was a bank, and they did not want the word "lending" on a debit card that holds their own money. The rebrand waited until the product suite, and the financial returns, were there to back it up.The charter let them innovate more, not less. With its own balance sheet and a direct line to regulators, the company can test new loan terms and features like TopUp on its own portfolio, then bring investors the results a year later. It holds about 40% of originations on balance sheet.Simple incentives drive engagement. LevelUp Savings pays a 100 basis point rate kicker for depositing $250 a month. It has gathered billions in deposits, 20% of accounts come from borrowers, and borrowers who have paid off their loan hold an average balance of around $19,000 to $20,000.Agentic shopping favors lenders who already compete on value. Most Happen Bank customers already arrive through comparison sites, so Scott sees agents hunting for the best deal as a tailwind. The open questions are legal, such as what happens when an agent signs a loan disclosure.About Scott SanbornScott Sanborn has been CEO of Happen Bank, formerly LendingClub, since 2016, having joined the company in 2010 as Chief Marketing Officer. He led the acquisition of Radius Bank, the first time a fintech bought a chartered bank, and the 2026 rebrand to Happen Bank.

Real estate has a habit of looking inward for answers. But what if some of the industry's best ideas are sitting completely outside of it? James Dwiggins and Keith Robinson sit down with Cory Vasquez, President and Chief Marketing Officer of Realty ONE Group, to discuss why real estate leaders need to break out of the industry's echo chamber. Drawing from her background in marketing, PR, crisis management, nonprofits, and real estate, Cory explains why Realty ONE Group deliberately looks to other industries for ideas and lessons. They also explore crisis communication, navigating change as a leader, knowing when to push versus when to be patient, and why the industry needs people willing to speak openly about difficult issues. Cory shares her concerns about consolidation, consumer choice, and maintaining the human relationships at the heart of real estate. Plus, she explains one of the biggest mistakes agents make with personal branding: hiding who they actually are. Connect with Cory on LinkedIn.

In this episode of What the Fixed Ops?!, hosts Russell Hill and Charity Dunning welcome Gary Sillman, agent owner of Global F&I Solutions, for a wide-ranging conversation about breaking down dealership silos, connecting sales and service, and uncovering new revenue opportunities inside the service drive.Gary explains why dealerships can no longer afford to operate sales, service, parts, and F&I as separate departments. With customers keeping vehicles longer and increasingly interacting with dealerships digitally, the service lane has become one of the biggest opportunities to strengthen customer relationships, acquire used vehicles, offer protection products, and create a natural path back to sales.The conversation explores how dealerships can turn every service visit into a more complete customer experience. Gary discusses using vehicle inspections, appraisals, service contract options, connected CRM systems, and better communication to give customers more choices while helping departments work together instead of allowing valuable opportunities to fall through the cracks.We talk about:Why dealership silos need to disappearTurning the service lane into a vehicle acquisition opportunityConnecting sales, service, parts, and F&IOffering F&I products beyond the initial vehicle purchaseCreating sales funnels from existing service customersUsing inspections and appraisals to give customers more optionsWhy connected CRM systems matterHow outdated dealership processes create missed opportunitiesWhy technology and AI can't replace strong leadershipUsing social media to humanize your dealershipGary also shares why dealerships need to rethink processes that may have worked five or ten years ago but no longer fit today's customer journey. Rather than adding another piece of technology to an already fragmented operation, he encourages dealers to map out their processes, identify where customers and information are falling through the cracks, and build a more connected operating system.Whether you're a dealer principal, general manager, fixed ops director, service manager, F&I professional, advisor, or automotive leader, this episode offers practical insights into creating a more connected dealership, generating additional opportunities from the service drive, and building stronger relationships with customers.BE THE 1ST TO KNOW.

Caroline Smith cut her teeth on brands from Glenfiddich and Sailor Jerry to Hendrick's and Balvenie, followed by a stint in brand licensing for character brands, before finding herself in the cruise category. A coffee her husband talked her into with Regent Seven Seas Cruises turned into more than a decade at the company, where she rose from EMEA lead to Chief Marketing Officer and has just taken on group responsibility for Oceania as well. In this episode, Anant sits down with Caroline to unpack the business of selling luxury at sea. They discuss what it means to market a perishable product, where every unsold sailing is gone for good, and how that shapes a role split between building brand demand ten years out and spinning up campaigns in a matter of days. Caroline explains why discounting is a trap for an ultra-luxury brand, and why Regent spent years avoiding the word "all-inclusive" before leaning into it. They also get into the Seven Seas Prestige, a ship 40% larger than its predecessors carrying only 10% more guests, its 9,000-square-foot Skyview Regent Suite, and the moment former Formula One driver Pedro de la Rosa looked out from his balcony at the old Valencia circuit and was visibly moved.

> If AI does the entry-level work, who becomes the next expert? — Elizabeth Maxson, Contentful

AI can make people productive before it makes them experienced. That creates a new problem for leaders: if junior employees stop doing the work that once taught judgment, where will the next generation of experts come from?Elizabeth Maxson, CMO of Contentful, joins Rachel Truair to explore what her team calls “judgment debt”—the long-term cost of automating away the experiences people use to build instinct, context and expertise. They discuss why Elizabeth still requires humans to write the brief, why knowing when AI is wrong may become more valuable than knowing how to use it, and why she believes leaders need a “human on the hook,” not simply a human in the loop.The conversation ultimately asks whether businesses can capture AI's efficiency without accidentally dismantling the apprenticeship system that creates their future leaders.Quotes“You have to build judgment by actually doing the work and having lived experiences.”“I want to shift ‘human in the loop' to ‘human on the hook,' because if something does not work, who's accountable? We are.”“Do you have enough expertise to know when it's wrong? And if you don't, do you at least have enough expertise to ask the question to figure it out?”From the conversationWhy automating entry-level work could create a long-term shortage of judgment, skills and institutional knowledge, even if nothing appears broken today.How Elizabeth separates work AI should accelerate, such as analyzing large data sets and creating a “crappy first draft,” from the strategy, curiosity and accountability she believes should remain human.Why Contentful still requires humans to build detailed briefs, and why Elizabeth believes some organizations may need to “go slow to go fast” instead of treating speed as the objective.What “judgment debt” looks like when people rely on AI before they have enough experience to recognize when its answers are wrong, and why mentorship and human relationships still matter.How hiring may change when candidates use AI to produce excellent work: Elizabeth argues leaders should test the thinking, response to feedback and decision-making behind the output rather than simply banning the technology.About the guestElizabeth Maxson is the Chief Marketing Officer of Contentful, a content management platform trusted by more than 4,200 companies around the world.Elizabeth brings nearly two decades of integrated marketing leadership to the role and is focused on driving marketing strategies that leverage AI and personalization to help brands deliver personalized and scalable content to their audiences.Prior to Contentful, Elizabeth served as the Chief Marketing Officer at Tableau, a Salesforce company, where she led go-to-market strategy and drove end-to-end marketing initiatives. In addition to her role at Tableau, Elizabeth has also served as the Head of Marketing at Quip, another Salesforce acquisition, as well as spearheaded Strategic Technology Partnerships marketing, launching critical relationships with industry giants such as AWS, Google Cloud, Alibaba, Apple, and many others.She carries a BAA in Facility Management and Marketing from Central Michigan University.LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/emaxson/

What turns a celebrity endorsement into genuine advocacy?Jim is joined by Daymond John, founder and CEO of FUBU, founder of The Shark Group, and one of the original investors on ABC's Shark Tank, alongside Karen Spaeth, Chief Marketing Officer of Starkey.Karen has spent more than 16 years at Starkey, leading across events, communications, customer experience, and global marketing before becoming CMO in 2023. Today, she oversees the company's global brand strategy and is helping reposition hearing aids as advanced, AI-powered wearable technology designed to improve connection, confidence, and quality of life.Daymond's relationship with Starkey began through the company's hearing foundation and grew more personal when he recognized his own hearing loss. After becoming a Starkey user, he evolved from ambassador to outspoken advocate, proudly wearing custom red hearing aids and encouraging others to see hearing technology as empowering rather than embarrassing.Together, Jim, Daymond, and Karen explore what makes a brand partnership authentic, how marketers can change deeply rooted perceptions, and why real customer stories often resonate more powerfully than traditional advertising. They also discuss AI, innovation, company culture, and the challenge of marketing a product that millions of people need but may hesitate to admit they want.At its heart, this episode is about trust.

Most banks say they’re community-focused. Altabank had to prove it by tearing down the names people trusted most. In this episode of He Said, She Said: Razor Branding™, Jaci and Michael sit down with Stan Sorensen, Chief Marketing Officer at Altabank, a Utah-based community bank with over a century of history and a footprint that spans the entire state. Stan came to banking from tech and healthcare, joined the bank to lead a rebrand, and — eight years later — hasn’t left. He gets into what it actually took to consolidate five operating names into one, why the hardest part wasn’t the rebrand itself but managing the emotional fallout in the communities that felt the loss, and how his lean team of five runs national-caliber marketing by knowing exactly where their lane starts and stops. Stan also breaks down how a fresh set of outside eyes unlocked a campaign idea they’d been sitting on for three years — and why that’s the real argument for never letting your agency get too comfortable. If you’re a B2B marketer navigating a rebrand, fighting for budget with a board that wants data, or trying to prove that community involvement is a brand strategy, not a PR stunt, this one’s for you.

According to the latest Edelman Trust Barometer, only 54% of Americans trust business to do what is right. Just 44% trust the media. And only 39% trust government.But perhaps the more troubling number is that 70% of people say they are hesitant or unwilling to trust someone who is different from them. So what happens when we stop trusting our institutions and increasingly, one another?How do you build trust in an environment where skepticism has become the default?That's what we explore in this episode with Amy Weisenbach, Chief Marketing Officer of The New York Times, and VEST Member Michelle Brobston, Chief Operations Officer at Hunger Free Oklahoma.Amy has spent nearly a decade thinking about this question from inside one of the most scrutinized institutions in the world.

This week I'm joined by Kelly Hiller, Chief Marketing Officer at Purdue University, and we get into everything. Kelly has spent 22 years at Purdue — not because she played it safe, but because she kept reimagining what the next chapter could look like. Including the day her predecessor resigned and she fired off an email that said: "You don't need to initiate a search. The solution is right here." She got the job. We talk about all of it — the career moves that felt risky, the moment she realized hard work alone has a ceiling, and what happens when you have to lead people you used to grab lunch with as peers.

How do you take a brand that inspires extraordinary loyalty on the inside and make the rest of the world understand why it matters?That's the challenge Ethan Braden took on when he became Vice President and Chief Marketing and Communications Officer at Texas A&M University three years ago.Texas A&M was already one of the largest and most influential universities in the country, with generations of fiercely loyal Aggies. But outside Texas, the story was very different. Research showed that 40% of Americans had either never heard of Texas A&M or had no association with it, and when asked what came to mind, the most common answers included football, sports and, remarkably, “nothing.” And Ethan saw an enormous brand opportunity.Tune in as Jim talks with Ethan about the playbook he has used to help transform the reputation of Texas A&M, building on lessons from more than a decade at Eli Lilly and five years leading marketing at Purdue University.Ethan shares why marketing should be an enterprise value creator rather than a communications function, how Texas A&M turned YouTube into a strategic storytelling engine generating more than 150 million views, and why unconventional partnerships with NASCAR, IndyCar, Dude Perfect, Buc-ee's and others are helping introduce the university to entirely new audiences.Plus, Ethan reflects on his unlikely journey from childhood gymnast to college football player to marketer, the career opportunity he didn't get that ultimately led him to Texas A&M, and why becoming a husband and father fundamentally changed his definition of ambition and success.—Meet The CMO Podcast On the RoadThe CMO Podcast will be on the road throughout early 2027, capturing conversations with the leaders shaping the future of marketing, leadership, and business.

Andy Crestodina has asked more than a thousand content marketers the same questions every year since 2014, which makes him the only person holding a twelve-year record of whether content marketing works. This year's answers are the worst he has ever published.   Only 13.9% of marketers report strong results from their blog, down from a range of 20% to 30% that held for nine straight years. Another 18.9% say they no longer know whether their blog works at all.   What makes it stranger is everything that happened alongside it. Posts got 115 words shorter. Time spent per post fell by 50 minutes. And 92.4% of marketers adopted AI, which his data shows correlates with no improvement whatsoever.   Andy joins Sandy Carter to explain what is actually driving the decline, which tactics still outperform, and why marketers are abandoning those exact tactics. Influencer collaboration runs at 2.6 times the benchmark and adoption dropped 22%. Guest blogging fell 29% in the same year AI systems started deciding which sources to cite.   The episode closes with a round called Dead or Alive, where Sandy names a content tactic and Andy has to rule on it using his own numbers.   Andy Crestodina is co-founder and Chief Marketing Officer of Orbit Media Studios and the author of Content Chemistry, now in its seventh edition.   Read the full 2026 report: https://www.orbitmedia.com/blog/blogging-statistics/ Connect with Andy: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andycrestodina/   YouTube   Title: How to Lose Readers and Influence Nobody | Andy Crestodina on the Worst Year in Blogging Data   Description:   92.4% of marketers now use AI for content.

Every company claims to have an AI strategy. Blaine Mathieu says that's hardly the point.In this episode, Eric Chemi sits down with Blaine, founder of the River Group and author of "The River Doesn't Wait," to unpack why a technology strategy is table stakes for the AI era and how the real competitive edge comes from an operational strategy. Eric and Blaine dig into the "river" analogy behind the new book and the importance of a content marketer's POV (Blaine's son) in adding that context. The conversation also covers whether size still matters for the agentic era and how the gap between early adopters and laggards is widening faster than in any past technology shift.Blaine Mathieu spent more than 30 years as a CEO, Chief Product Officer, Chief Marketing Officer, and Gartner analyst before founding The River Group, which helps senior executives navigate agentic AI disruption across their organizations. In his new book, "The River Doesn't Wait" distills that experience into a practical framework for deciding where to retrofit existing operations and where to reimagine them entirely.

She and Greg Kihlström get into where it hides and what it costs.AI's most consequential move in retail is happening in the back office, not the front end. After years of chatbots and personalization, the investment is shifting into inventory, fulfillment, and order management — where being wrong is expensive and visible.Peak season is a volume-and-velocity problem, not a basket-size problem. Smith on which parts of the traditional peak playbook break first when order throughput climbs, and how a tech freeze changes what a brand can realistically fix in-season.A stockout is a brand moment.
