Podcasts about Attention economy

CAA literary agent Rachel Mann on what makes her say yes to a manuscript, how to navigate the submissions process without losing control of your career, and why cutting is the work that makes prose land. You'll learn Why the recognition an agent needs is physical rather than analytical. What to do when you're not sure your manuscript is ready to send out. How to buy more time after a full manuscript request without killing the momentum. Why telling other agents about your requests works in your favour, even if it feels grubby. The realistic rhythm for chasing an agent who has gone quiet. Whether refusing to use social media can cost a writer representation. A question worth answering before you sign with anyone, and why the answer shapes the edit. The edit most manuscripts need before submission, and why it rarely means adding. How poetry's distillation applies to prose, whatever you write. What still gives an agent hope in a market where people are reading less.

“The tools of communication have changed, the human brain has not.” In a world of endless content and shrinking attention spans, getting your message heard means giving people a reason to care. For Carmine Gallo, a communication coach, author of Viral Voices, and CEO of Gallo Communications, that starts with understanding what captures the brain's attention: emotion, relevance, and a compelling story. In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Gallo joins Matt Abrahams to explore the timeless principles behind persuasive communication. From crafting attention-grabbing hooks to using analogies and storytelling, he shares practical techniques for making your ideas more emotional, clear, and memorable.Key Takeaways:Attention starts with making people care. Emotion and relevance help your message cut through the noise, giving your audience a reason to listen before you ask them to absorb your ideas.Great communication follows timeless patterns. Hooks, analogies, and structured storytelling make ideas easier to understand and remember, regardless of the platform or technology used to deliver them.Activity:Build the hook. Take a presentation, pitch, or message you're already working on and write a one-sentence opening that answers your audience's unspoken question: “Why should I care?” Make it relevant, specific, and compelling enough to earn their attention.Episode Reference Links:Carmine GalloCarmine's Book: Viral VoicesEp.103 Simple Is a Superpower: How to Communicate Any Idea to Any Audience Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedIn Chapters:(00:00) - Introduction (00:56) - Capturing Attention (03:30) - Timeless Communication Patterns (06:46) - The Persuasion Toolkit (10:49) - The Three-Act Structure (15:30) - The Final Three Questions (19:54) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.Strawberry.me.

Radio's relationship with its audience has fundamentally shifted, and the industry's summer of mass layoffs at Cumulus, iHeart, Rogers, Odyssey, and Corus has exposed a deeper crisis than spreadsheets can solve. I basically recap the absurdity of how radio companies built their talent's social media followings only to sever connections abruptly, freeing listeners to explore alternatives. While industry data still shows radio leading in car listening and ad delivery, the reality on the ground tells a different story: the best moments on any station come from people and personalities, not songs or commercials. And going forward, radio is going to have to do live on some rented ground.Discussed: - Why attention, participation, community, and trust have replaced traditional broadcast ratings as the new flywheel- How algorithms are prioritizing local content just as radio stations abandon local programming- The financial viability of AM radio ownership and why long-form content must be repurposed across multiple platforms- What podcasters are getting right about monetization that radio continues to fumblePromised in the show notes: The Bobby Bones prank story from 2004The Broadcast Dialogue podcast with Connie Thiessen, Matt Caine, and Rob Brown about buying and running an AM stationLamont Hollywood's Facebook post about being cut from 107.7 The BoneNEW!

Tahnoon Murtza, founding partner of [Grey Sheep Ventures], joins host KJ to challenge the assumptions holding traditional venture capital back. At 22, Tahnoon is one of the youngest emerging fund managers in the game, and he argues that the old VC playbook, built on proprietary tech and institutional gatekeeping, no longer fits the world AI has created. His thesis centers on distribution, influence, and authentic founder relationships as the new moat. The conversation covers why legacy funds are losing deals to scrappier, more connected investors, and what a punk rock ethos has to do with building a better fund. Key Takeaways: 1:00 — What killed proprietary tech as a startup moat 6:07 — How distribution and social influence replaced the old investment thesis 7:50 – Who is getting left out of VC decisions and why it matters 11:07 — When investors flip the power dynamic, founders take notice Quote of the Show (23:33):"If you want to build something authentic, it takes copious effort, it takes obsession, it takes a consuming amount of time. And if you're going to commit to that, you want a VC partner who's going to put the same effort into your company that you are." – Tahnoon Murtza Join our Anti-PR newsletter where we’re keeping a watchful and clever eye on PR trends, PR fails, and interesting news in tech so you don't have to.

Phyllis Kao is a senior auctioneer at Sotheby's. You might've recently seen clips of her taking bids for a 67-million-year-old T-Rex named Gus, which sold for a whopping $50.1 million to an unnamed buyer. Being an auctioneer (auctioneering is not a verb) has always sat at the intersection of performance and expertise. And in the attention economy, Kao has displayed a knack for both in a way that's helped the 18th century institution navigate the modern media ecosystem while also attracting a younger audience of bidders. We talk with Phyllis about how auctions have evolved with the rise of social media, her thoughts on celeb-backed auction houses like Pharrell's JOOPITER, why there's such high demand for brand archives in the age of AI, the lost art of expertise, and more.

A new Atlantic cover story argues that America is sliding into a postliterate age—but G.K. Chesterton diagnosed the same collapse in 1928, years before Marshall McLuhan or Neil Postman raised the alarm. Joe Grabowski goes solo to walk through Rose Horowitch's statistics on the death of reading, then turns to two Illustrated London News essays in which Chesterton describes a public that has stopped reading connected prose and now only kisses books it has never opened. What emerges is a practical challenge for anyone who wants to recover the habit Chesterton simply assumed his own readers still had. In This Episode: Why G.K. Chesterton said so little about illiteracy—and what that silence reveals about how genuinely new this problem is Chesterton's 1928 warning that making reading "easier" signals a slump in reading rather than a boom What Chesterton meant by a public relapsing into the horn book and the cat on the mat—and why Joe Grabowski thinks he would have said much the same of reels, Shorts, and TikTok The 1921 essay in which Chesterton argued that the books shaping the world are the ones nobody has actually opened: Darwin, Marx, and the rumor that replaces the text Why Chesterton's critique lands on podcast listeners too—the risk of becoming the very type of person Chesterton described, taking opinions secondhand from influencers and favorite podcasters Resources Mentioned: "The End of Reading Is Here" by Rose Horowitch, The Atlantic "On Reading, and Not Being Able To," The Illustrated London News, December 8, 1928 What Mr. Belloc's Servile State Means by G.

In this hard hitting episode of the Executive Lunchtime Quickie, host Tawnie peels back the curtain on the “Attention Economy,” a system that is not only fracturing our culture but actively destabilizing our macroeconomic landscape.Tawnie, a mother, former corporate executive, and entrepreneur, breaks down how the 2017 collapse of foreign investment in U.S. entertainment forced a pivot toward the “outrage economy.” She explains how this shift turned many public figures into digital trolls and why our collective attention has become the ultimate currency in a global struggle for financial dominance.In this episode, we tackle:• The Macroeconomic Seesaw: How social media trends and viral narratives are being weaponized to either strengthen the U.S. dollar or accelerate de dollarization.• The High Cost of Fragmentation: A sobering look at the Uvalde tragedy. We analyze the timeline of Robb Elementary and discuss why siloed data was a fatal failure in preventing a preventable disaster.• The Case for Institutional Grade Defense: Why our schools need the data integration power of firms like Palantir to connect the dots on behavioral warning signs before tragedy strikes.• The Monetization of Grief: Why we must stop rewarding influencers who use tragedy to farm engagement and rage bait for profit.Tawnie issues a direct question to industry titans like BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street, and Fidelity: How are you accounting for “Attention Risk” in your long term outlooks for global stability?Whether you are an investor, an entrepreneur, or a parent concerned about the future of our digital infrastructure, this is the briefing you need to protect your legacy.Join us:Podcast Workshop: Join Tawnie later this month at 8:30 PM to learn how to build and command your own digital platform.Hot Topics & Cool Drinks: Next month marks our one year anniversary! Join our community of entrepreneurs and investors over 55 as we work to ensure the legacies we've built remain secure against the chaos of the digital age.Learn more about AI analytics and scrutinyThis video provides additional context on the global role and scrutiny of Palantir's AI analytics, which complements your discussion on its potential impact as a tool for security and data integration.Watch here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9Ti3g7TF5A⁠

Most motion designers add sound design at the very end of a project. But Joe Basile, aka The Chicken, says it should start at the very beginning. And once you hear why, the sequencing is hard to unsee.In this episode of the Styleframe Saturdays podcast, we sit down with award-winning sound designer and composer Joe Basile to explore what happens when audio and motion design collide from the very beginning of a project. Joe breaks down and reveals the sonic philosophy behind his Favorite Mix, including a technique borrowed directly from The Shawshank Redemption to transition music from non-diegetic to diegetic sound.From finding rhythm hidden inside an animation before a single note is played, to knowing exactly when to bring a sound designer into the room, this conversation will shift how you hear your own work.TIMESTAMPS:0:00 – Intro0:37 – Meet Joe Basile: The Chicken16:25 – Original Music vs. Sound Design vs. Sonic Branding21:52 – The Favorite Mix: Crack by Johan Eriksson23:55 – The Shawshank Technique: Diegetic vs. Non-diegetic Music28:53 – How the Attention Economy is Changing Audio Storytelling37:50 – When Should You Bring Sound Design into a Project?40:14 – The "Demo Love" Trap Explained43:23 – Pareidolia: Finding Rhythm Inside Animation53:54 – The Noise Experiment That Won a Motion Award57:03 – Challenges & Rewards58:43 – Favorite Mix Because…CONNECT & FOLLOW:Spotify → https://spoti.fi/3K8UDd7Apple Podcasts → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/styleframe-saturdays/id1607658120Amazon Music → https://amzn.in/d/0cziMYRNGUEST LINKS/RESOURCES:Joe Basile's Website: https://www.thechicken.net/Cool Edit Pro: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_AuditionWestern Carolina University: https://www.wcu.edu/Antfood: https://www.antfood.com/Source Connect: https://www.source-elements.com/products/source-connect/Johan Eriksson: https://johaneriksson.co/?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQPOTM2NjE5NzQzMzkyNDU5AAGnZzqyQomWzFCGInTeGkPJXMyxvK1dW26vWkVEuKsbTS4TNliMfUxpr1jxcvE_aem_FABFZpaZ4jop-TJJ4FmaiA“Crack” by Johan Eriksson: https://johaneriksson.co/?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQPOTM2NjE5NzQzMzkyNDU5AAGnZzqyQomWzFCGInTeGkPJXMyxvK1dW26vWkVEuKsbTS4TNliMfUxpr1jxcvE_aem_FABFZpaZ4jop-TJJ4FmaiAThe Shawshank Redemption: https://johaneriksson.co/?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQPOTM2NjE5NzQzMzkyNDU5AAGnZzqyQomWzFCGInTeGkPJXMyxvK1dW26vWkVEuKsbTS4TNliMfUxpr1jxcvE_aem_FABFZpaZ4jop-TJJ4FmaiASteve Reich: https://stevereich.com/“It's Gonna Rain” (1965) by Steve Reich: https://stevereich.com/composition/its-gonna-rain/Hannah Churn: https://www.hannahchurn.com/Todd Churn: https://toddchurn.com/“Night Lights” by Hannah & Todd Churn: https://nightlights.tv/“The Breakout” by Mantas GR: https://mantasgr.com/the-breakoutAdobe Photoshop: https://photoshop.adobe.com/?promoid=HHJ4XB3V&mv=other&mv2=ahome&lang=enAdobe After Effects: https://www.adobe.com/products/aftereffects.html*Riverside: https://riverside.fm/?utm_campaign=campaign_1&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=rewardful&via=styleframesatLofi Cassette by Harrison Amer (theme music licensed by Premiumbeat.com, https://www.premiumbeat.com/home)Permissions granted by the artist(s).Our podcast celebrates Motion Ideation — the raw brainstorming, early-stage thinking and lightbulb moments that shape everything before a single design or keyframe exists.

Influence Mobile founder and CEO Daniel Todd joins Chris Lustrino to discuss how the company built Rewarded Play into a major rewards platform for mobile gaming. Influence Mobile helps game developers acquire and retain high-value players by offering rewards to users who discover, play, and spend inside mobile games.

In this solo episode, Brett Ingram traces how that design shapes a life one unnoticed moment at a time, and offers a way back to it that isn't another productivity system: noticing where your attention actually goes, and choosing more often than not. What You'll Learn in This Episode The real difference between a tool you pick up and a system built to keep you holding it — and why that distinction is a business model, not a conspiracy theory How "variable reward" (the psychology behind slot machines and the pull-to-refresh gesture) keeps you scrolling even when you don't expect to find anything Why a life is never stolen all at once — it's surrendered in increments too small to notice, remember, or regret What "attention residue" is, and why switching tasks leaves part of your mind working on the thing you left behind Why clock time and lived time aren't the same thing, and what the research says about how often minds wander — and what that costs in happiness The difference between rumination and genuine reflection, and why they can look identical from the outside A single 24-hour practice for starting to reclaim attention, with no apps deleted and no digital detox required Episode Timestamps [00:00] Cold open — the question almost no one can answer [01:00] What the attention economy actually sells [02:30] Variable reward — the psychology behind the pull-to-refresh [04:30] The small fragments that quietly become a life [07:30] Attention residue and what constant capture does to your inner life [11:00] Attention as the real unit of time [14:30] Reclaiming attention without turning it into another performance [18:00] Closing synthesis and the one practice to try today Episode Summary There's a difference between a tool you pick up and a system built to keep you holding it. A hammer doesn't care whether you put it down. A lot of the platforms on your phone are designed, quite deliberately, to care very much — and that's not a conspiracy theory, it's a business model. For a huge share of the digital products people use every day, the actual customer isn't the user, it's the advertiser. What's being sold isn't a product or a service — it's attention, harvested, measured, and resold. That framing, drawn from Tim Wu's book The Attention Merchants, is the starting point for this episode: not a takedown of any single company, but an honest look at what happens to a life when other people and other systems get to keep deciding, moment after moment, what enters your awareness. The mechanism at the center of it is called variable reward. Decades ago, psychologist B.F. Skinner found that a reward arriving on an unpredictable schedule is far more compelling than one arriving on a predictable one — an animal or a person pulling a lever for an uncertain payout will pull it more, and stop less, than one working for a reward it can count on. That's the same mechanism behind a slot machine, and it's the same mechanism behind pull-to-refresh: you don't know if the next scroll holds something interesting, and that's exactly why you keep scrolling. Brett draws a parallel to something a dog trainer once told him — the "jackpot mechanism," where varying the size of a reward (one treat, one treat, then suddenly a handful) keeps a dog working harder than a consistent reward ever would. Feeds run on the same principle, minus the treats. None of this makes the design automatically sinister — plenty of genuinely useful tools use similar hooks, and companies vary widely in how aggressively they lean on it. But the deeper issue isn't that these tools exist; it's that very few people ever agreed, out loud, to the terms. And the cost shows up in pieces too small to register as losses: checking a phone without deciding to, reaching for stimulation before a thought can finish forming, being physically present somewhere while mentally somewhere else entirely. "A life is not stolen all at once," Brett says. "It's surrendered in tiny, forgettable increments — and forgettable is the operative word, because you can't grieve what you don't remember losing." He points to The Truman Show, where Christof's line — "We accept the reality of the world with which we're presented, it's as simple as that" — captures the idea exactly, and to Idiocracy as an exaggerated but uncomfortably familiar picture of what happens when everything is delivered and nothing requires effort. The episode's second half turns inward, connecting attention to what your inner life actually needs to function. Researcher Sophie Leroy's concept of "attention residue" shows that switching away from an unfinished task leaves part of the mind working on it in the background, so the next task gets a smaller, more distracted version of your attention than it otherwise would. Separate research on workplace interruptions found that refocusing after a disruption can take considerably longer than the disruption itself. And a widely cited real-time study by Killingsworth and Gilbert found that people's minds wander nearly half of the time — and that mind-wandering, regardless of the activity, was associated with lower happiness than simply being present with whatever was actually in front of them. That's the reframe at the center of the episode: clock time and lived time aren't the same thing. You can technically possess an hour and never inhabit it. Attention management asks a different question than time management — not "how do I fit more in," but "where am I, actually, when I'm here?" Rather than prescribing a digital detox or a five-step system, Brett offers a different orientation: notice before restricting, learn to name the difference between chosen and captured attention, protect small transitions in the day, and treat boredom as something to tolerate rather than immediately fill. The practice he leaves listeners with is deliberately small — pick one ordinary moment of waiting in the next 24 hours and let it be boring, just to prove you can survive an unfilled minute. As he puts it near the close: "Your attention is the only material your life is actually made of. Everything else is just what you built with it."

The attention economy is the business model behind most free digital products: rather than the user being the customer, the user's attention is the product, harvested and sold to advertisers. It explains why so many apps are engineered to maximize time-on-platform rather than simply being useful and letting you move on. What is "variable reward" and why does it make apps so hard to put down? Variable reward is a psychological principle, first documented by B.F. Skinner, showing that rewards on an unpredictable schedule drive far more persistent behavior than rewards on a predictable one. It's the same mechanism behind a slot machine, and it's built into features like pull-to-refresh and algorithmic feeds — you keep scrolling because you don't know if the next scroll holds something interesting. What is attention residue? Attention residue, a concept from researcher Sophie Leroy, describes how part of your focus stays behind on a task you've switched away from, especially if it was left unfinished. That means the next task gets a smaller, more distracted share of your attention than it would have otherwise — and the effect compounds every time attention gets pulled and pulled back throughout a day. Does mind-wandering actually make people less happy? Research by Killingsworth and Gilbert, tracking people in real time throughout their days, found minds wandered in nearly half of sampled moments — and that mind-wandering was associated with lower reported happiness than staying present with whatever activity was actually happening, even when that activity was mundane. It's a correlational finding, but it's a strong one. Do I need to do a digital detox to fix this? No. The episode explicitly pushes back on delete-the-apps, get-a-flip-phone solutions, arguing that a structural, cultural problem can't be solved through sheer personal discipline alone. The approach offered instead is about noticing where attention defaults to, naming the difference between chosen and captured attention, and making small environmental changes — not achieving perfect, monk-like focus. What's the difference between rumination and genuine reflection? They can look identical from the outside, but they function very differently. Rumination is a stuck loop of worry that replays without resolving anything. Genuine reflection is structured, curious attention toward your own experience aimed at actually processing something and reaching a conclusion. What's one thing I can do today to start reclaiming my attention? Pick one ordinary moment of waiting in the next 24 hours — a red light, a line, the kettle boiling — and let it be boring. Don't reach for anything to fill it. The exercise is deliberately small: it's not about fixing your entire relationship with attention at once, just proving to yourself that you can survive an unfilled minute.

What if everything you're optimizing for in marketing — attention, clicks, engagement — is a proxy for the one thing that actually drives action? Pranav Yadav is the Founder & Global CEO of Neuro-Insight, the world's largest measure of memory. His company maps brains to determine what advertising actually does to people — second by second — with an 86% correlation to real-world sales. In this conversation, he makes the case that memory is the only metric that matters, explains why hyper-personalization is destroying culture, and breaks down exactly why Budweiser's most iconic Super Bowl ad failed at the brain level while Samsung's Wallhuggers became their most successful campaign ever. Pranav Yadav is a former Goldman Sachs trader turned neuroscientist, Forbes 30 Under 30, and Ad Age 40 Under 40. He created the Neuro Impact Factor — the brain-based metric that all Australian out-of-home media is now traded on.   Key takeaways • 90% of all memory is subconscious — brands have been measuring the wrong 10% • $750 billion in annual marketing spend is wasted because recall ≠ memory • The brain is a pattern-seeking storytelling device — personal relevance opens the door to memory • Hyper-personalization destroys the shared cultural memory that makes marketing work • The #1 rated Super Bowl ad (Budweiser Lost Puppy) placed the brand at the exact moment the brain stopped encoding memory • Samsung's Wallhuggers hid the brand for 45 seconds and became their most successful campaign   Follow Pranav on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/pranavyadavpy Learn more: neuro-insight.com   Chapters 0:00 Introduction 1:31 The Urdu Couplet That Opens the Conversation 2:28 Marketing Has Been Leaning on Pseudoscience for Decades 5:09 Why Memory Is the Only Metric That Matters 8:32 The Shirt Test: Recall vs Memory 12:23 How to Get Into the 90% — Story Is the Boat 15:17 What 5,000-Year-Old Vedic Rituals Teach About Memory 19:41 Alexander the Great vs the Naked Wise Man 24:28 MasterCard's Priceless: Finding the Core Truth 27:29 Why Brands Don't Do This (It's Hard) 32:23 Brain Mapping: How Neuro-Insight Actually Measures Memory 39:26 Brand Architecture: The Formula Every Brand Needs 43:48 Why Hyper-Personalization Will Destroy Society 50:54 Why 90% of Super Bowl Ads Fail at the Brain Level 54:17 Budweiser's Lost Puppy: The #1 Ad That Failed 58:04 Samsung Wallhuggers: Genius at the Memory Moment 1:00:25 Why LLMs Are Trained on the Shadow of Thinking 1:07:41 Vows, Not Values: How Neuro-Insight Stays Creative 1:15:51 The Neuro Impact Factor: Changing How Australia Trades Media 1:19:57 What Makes a Great Billboard 1:20:23 Where to Find Pranav   ----Mission.org is a media studio producing content alongside world-class clients.

In this episode, Tiffany Neuman explores a fundamental shift in the landscape of online business: the transition from the “Attention Economy” to the “Authority Economy.”With the rise of AI making content creation effortless and visibility common, the traditional "influencer" model is losing its edge. Tiffany breaks down why the most successful modern leaders aren't chasing virality, but are instead investing in deep human connection, original intellectual property, and sustainable business ecosystems. If you've felt the "old ways" of marketing are becoming less effective, this episode provides a roadmap for building a brand that is AI-proof and deeply in demand.Key TakeawaysThe Shift from the Attention Economy to the Authority EconomyFor years, business success was equated with reach: more followers, more noise, and more visibility. However, AI has commoditized information. Because anyone can now generate endless content, visibility is no longer a "moat." The new economy rewards Trust, Relationships, and Lived Experience.The 5 Major ShiftsFrom Visibility to Trust: While attention can be captured instantly, trust compounds slowly. Success now comes from "high-touch" mediums like podcasting, newsletters, and private communities where consistency and original perspectives foster deep belief.”From Content to Ecosystem: Content is fragile and temporary; an ecosystem (podcasts, email lists, websites, and reputations) is durable. Tiffany argues that experts don't need more content, they need stronger infrastructure around their existing ideas.From Audience Size to Audience Depth: A massive, shallow audience is less valuable than a smaller, highly trusted ecosystem. The future of business relies on human connection, discernment, and the ability to provide curated transformation rather than just broadcasting.From Virality to Intellectual Property (IP): AI can replicate generic marketing, but it cannot replicate lived wisdom. True authority comes from original frameworks and unique perspectives that cannot be commoditized.From Short Bursts to Compounding Authority: Move away from the "fireworks" of big, exhausting launches. Instead, build "campfires"... sustainable spaces where people return for deep conversations and community that grows stronger over time.The Role of AIAI is paradoxically increasing the value of human work. While it can generate "mediocre marketing," it cannot recognize patterns in your life, challenge your blind spots, or reflect back the nuances of your unique brilliance.Mentioned ResourcesBrand OS Pro: Tiffany's signature process for building a conversational brand infrastructure.Kit (formerly ConvertKit): Mentioned as a top-tier email service provider and community for creators.LinkedIn: Follow Tiffany for more content related to this discussion.Your Legacy Brand: Official WebsiteAbout the HostTiffany Neuman is a brand strategist and the host of the Make Your Message a Movement podcast.

Sheryl and Victoria reflect on their experiences of Sheryl's first-ever in-person retreat: Another Way. For five days, nestled in a Colorado valley, the retreatants engaged in dream work and rituals; practiced council; moved mindfully; and connected to creativity. Inside a circle of compassion and wisdom, tears and laughter flowed with ease. A web of deep, healing connection was woven--invisible threads of love that now stretch across continents and oceans.  In this conversation, Sheryl and Victoria share the guiding principles of the retreat, emphasizing gentleness, safety, and empowerment; dispel myths about what a retreat experience "should" look like; and explore how, no matter what, showing up with an open heart is more than enough.  References: "Another Way" Gathering Gold episode How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy, Jenny Odell Animal Spirit Deck, Kim Kranz Projective identification dreamwork, Jeremy Taylor Join us on Patreon for bonus content and virtual gatherings: patreon.com/gatheringgold Some of our recent bonus episodes include: Victoria's Psychotropic Experience | The Slipstream of Time | Give and Receiving - Shudder - Feedback | The Problem with Pedestals | Are Intrusive Thoughts like Stray Cats?

Have you ever noticed that when humans try to talk about God, awakening, truth, or the divine we almost never explain it directly? Instead, we tell stories. We say life is a battlefield. God is a shepherd. The soul is a river returning to the sea. The self is two birds sitting in the same tree. Across cultures, centuries, and spiritual traditions, mystics don't simply define the divine, they paint it. In this episode, I take you on a kind of devotional poetry slam through sacred metaphor. We'll explore passages from the Bhagavad Gita, the Upanishads, the Psalms, and yogic philosophy to see how spiritual traditions use image, story, and symbol to help us feel our relationship with the divine. Because metaphor doesn't just help the mind understand. It gives the nervous system somewhere to rest. We'll explore:

Your attention is your most valuable asset. And the world is trying to steal it every single day. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why focus is the real currency of high performers—and how distractions quietly destroy your ability to build wealth. Let's be real… Every notification… Every scroll… Every random interruption… Is pulling you away from the work that actually matters. In this episode, you'll learn: Why your focus directly impacts your income and execution How distractions drain the mental energy required to build your future Why deep work requires isolation and strict boundaries How to protect your calendar, your attention, and your vision The truth is simple: You cannot build a massive life with a distracted mind. If your phone controls your day… If the news controls your mood… If everyone else has access to your attention… You are not leading. You are reacting. The highest performers protect their focus like a fortress. They block the noise. They guard their peak hours. They create space for deep execution. Because when your attention is locked in… Your decisions get sharper. Your work gets better. And your money starts flowing in the right direction. Stop renting out your brain space to things that do not pay you back. Protect your bandwidth. Guard your vision. And lock in on the mission. Your Network is your NETWORTH!

What will your final thought be? In Chapter 8 of the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna gives a surprising answer: your last thought isn't something you can control in the moment — it's the result of what you've practiced thinking about your entire life. So this chapter isn't really about death — It's about attention. In this episode, I explore:

In this episode of Death to the Corporate Video, Guy Bauer breaks down four major B2B video trends shaping 2026, and what they actually mean for marketers trying to stand out. From the rise of AI-written scripts (and why they're making everything feel painfully average) to the explosion of Apple-style product launch videos, Guy unpacks how sameness is creeping back into B2B, and how you can use that to your advantage. He also dives into why vertical video is no longer optional and why every company is rapidly becoming a media company, whether they like it or not. Finally, he tackles a surprising shift: creativity in B2B has officially gone mainstream. That's the good news. The bad news? You can't win just by being “different” anymore. If you're trying to punch above your weight, capture attention, and avoid blending into a sea of safe, forgettable content—this episode is your playbook.

You can watch two people look at the same video of the Minneapolis shooting and come to completely opposite conclusions about what happened. Why? Because their brains — literally — were looking at different parts of the screen. That's selective perception. And once Dr. Jay Van Bavel explained it to me, I couldn't stop seeing it everywhere. In my feed. In my family. In myself. Jay is one of the top 1% of researchers in the world — not my words, that's Clarivate — and a professor of psychology and neuroscience at NYU. His research has been cited by the US Supreme Court, the Senate, and the World Health Organization. And in this conversation, he did not let me off the hook. Neither will you. We went deep on why our brains are not built for social media, how AI is becoming a full-time confirmation bias machine, what's actually happening to democracy right now, and — I promise there's a reason to keep listening — one genuinely hopeful hack backed by hard data that can lower your polarization by 25%. In this episode, you'll learn: Why two people can watch the exact same video and reach opposite conclusions — and it's not about intelligence or bad faith How AI chatbots are 50% more sycophantic than actual humans — and what that's doing to your relationships and your politics What the research actually says about Trump's approval drop and the role of "apolitical" influencers in shifting minds The one social media move backed by a clinical study that can reduce your polarization by 25% in a single month — and keep it lower for a full year Rather watch on YouTube? https://youtu.be/-upTCa6s7oc Resources & Links Mentioned: Dr. Jay Van Bavel's Substack: The Power of Us NYU Center for Conflict and Cooperation: nyu.edu The Power of Us (book) by Jay Van Bavel & Dominic Packer Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/allison__hare LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/allisonhare/ Website: https://allisonhare.com Book a free podcast clarity call: https://allisonhare.com/freecall Be sure to rate, review, and follow this podcast on your player and also, connect with me IRL for more goodness and life-changing stuff.Schedule a FREE podcast clarity call with me - Your future audience is out there.

**About this episode** What if everything you've been spending on digital marketing isn't an investment — but a tax? Nick Richtsmeier, founder of CultureCraft, joins Marco Ciappelli for a Brand Highlight that cuts straight to the root of why so many organizations feel stuck: not a marketing problem, but an alignment problem. Nick introduces the concept of the Silicon Valley tax — the ongoing cost most organizations pay to platforms that have no real incentive to show them what's working. He challenges the "attention economy" framing, arguing that what's actually being bought and sold is addictive behavior engineered by the algorithm. And he offers a different path: building trust in a humanist way, grounded in real alignment across culture, organizational design, positioning, point of view, and core community. The result is a conversation about brands — but really about integrity. About whether what an organization says and what it does are actually the same thing. And about why asking marketing to be the "sin eater" for every internal dysfunction is a strategy that will always come up short. **Connect with Nick Richtsmeier** [Nick Richtsmeier on LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickrichtsmeier/) [CultureCraft](http://www.culturecraft.com) [CultureCraft on LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/culturecraftconsulting/) **Connect with Marco & Studio C60** [Marco Ciappelli on LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/marco-ciappelli) [Studio C60](https://www.studioc60.com) [ITSPmagazine](https://www.itspmagazine.com) **Keywords** brand strategy, organizational culture, trust building, marketing strategy, CultureCraft, Nick Richtsmeier, Silicon Valley tax, attention economy, algorithmic economy, brand alignment, digital marketing, humanist branding, organizational design, Trust Made Growth, sin eater marketing, brand highlight, Studio C60, ITSPmagazine, Marco Ciappelli **Want to tell your story?** [Full Length Brand Story] (https://www.studioc60.com/content-creation#full) |  [Brand Spotlight Story](https://www.studioc60.com/content-creation#spotlight) |  [Brand Highlight Story](https://www.studioc60.com/content-creation#highlight) This is a Brand Highlight — a ~5 min intro conversation spotlighting the guest and their company.  Learn more: [studioc60.com/creation#highlight](https://www.studioc60.com/creation#highlight) Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode of The Living Artist podcast, Preston talks about the omnipresent "Attention Economy" and all of its many iterations. What is it, and how is it negatively affecting us and our art? Is there even a way to use it to our advantage? Preston talks about a good strategy being to always shoot for authenticity in everything that we do. These are just some of the ideas and questions covered in this episode and we hope that it at least provides you with some food for thought. Enjoy!For more information on Preston M.

Are Megachurches, Christian Influencers, and Artificial Intelligence Breaking the Church?   This week on the Good Faith podcast, Katelyn Beaty joins host Curtis Chang to confront the church's growing addiction to celebrity culture, asking how celebrity pastors, megachurch platforms, and AI are changing the way Christians are formed. Curtis even asks Katelyn to evaluate whether his public persona and the Good Faith platform risk becoming part of the very problem they're critiquing. If faith is becoming more online, more branded, and less embodied, this conversation asks the hard question: what happens to authentic Christian community, spiritual growth, and discipleship when personality starts to outrun the way of Jesus?   02:06 - Defining Persona vs. Fame 04:14 - Embodied Relationships vs. Platform 05:17 - Curtis's Personal Experience with Platform 09:56 - Dangers of Platform Culture for the Church 14:27 - Curtis's Dilemma: Content vs. Persona 17:58 - Navigating Platform Tensions as a Christian Leader 20:09 - Case Studies: Celebrity Gone Wrong and Right 25:34 - Community and Spiritual Formation Beyond Megachurches  30:10 - Technology, Evangelicals, and the Attention Economy 33:00 - AI and the Future of Persona and Platform  36:12 - Final Hope: Embodied, Material Christian Life   Take the Listener Survey Sign up for The After Party Sign up for The Good List     Mentioned in This Episode: More about Katelyn Beaty Katelyn Beaty's Celebrities for Jesus: How Personas, Platforms, and Profits Are Hurting the Church TIME: The True Story Behind the FX Documentary Series The Secrets of Hillsong  Christianity Today's podcast: The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill New York Times: How the Willow Creek Church Scandal Has Stunned the Evangelical World More about Eugene Peterson Curtis Chang's The Anxiety Opportunity     More From Katelyn Beaty: Katelyn Beaty's Substack The Beaty Beat  Katelyn Beaty's podcast Saved by the City Katelyn Beaty's A Woman's Place Participant Guide: A Bible Study Exploring Every Woman's Call to Work     Follow Us: Good Faith on Instagram Good Faith on X (formerly Twitter) Good Faith on Facebook   The Good Faith Podcast is a production of a 501(c)(3) nonpartisan organization that does not engage in any political campaign activity to support or oppose any candidate for public office.

If you've been feeling stuck or uninspired—whether in your personal practice or your teaching—this episode is for you. I'm sharing how I've reignited my own creativity over the years, not by pushing harder, but by allowing myself to breathe in new experiences. From Da Vinci to Mirabai, from Einstein's violin to the poetry of Lalla, I'll take you on a journey that reveals the true source of inspiration—and how you can access it again (and again). Here's what I'll explore:
