“It's so insidious, people don't realize it,” Barbara Kingsolver told me, describing the prejudice against “country people.” Kingsolver is one of those “country people,” as well as a literary legend in her own time, who set out to write the “great Appalachian novel.” And I think she did. “Demon Copperhead” won the Pulitzer Prize in 2023, and we taped this conversation later that year. And I wanted to re-air it because the divide between rural and urban America remains just as strong today, and as relevant to our politics. And Kingsolver might be the country's sharpest and most poignant observer of it.Mentioned:Shiloh and Other Stories by Bobbie Ann MasonBook Recommendations:Landings by Arwen DonahueRaising Lazarus by Beth MacyPod by Laline PaullThoughts?

Rand Fishkin is the Co‑founder and CEO of SparkToro, a software company he launched in 2018 to make audience and market research more accessible to marketers and creators. He previously co‑founded Moz (originally SEOmoz) in 2003 and helped scale it into a leading SEO software company before stepping down as CEO in 2014. Rand authored Lost and Founder: A Painfully Honest Field Guide to the Startup World, co‑authored The Art of SEO, and is widely recognized for his Whiteboard Friday video series and keynote speaking at over 100 international events.  In this episode… Modern marketers face a harsh reality: The tools they once relied on to track performance — like attribution models — are now deeply flawed. As data becomes increasingly fragmented across devices, platforms, and privacy barriers, understanding what truly drives customer behavior has grown more complicated than ever. How can brands measure success when attribution data can no longer be trusted? Rand Fishkin, a digital marketing and audience research specialist, offers a compelling case for abandoning rigid attribution models in favor of more human-centric, lift-based measurement. He recommends marketers return to fundamentals and observe customer behavior across multiple touchpoints, test messaging across regions or channels, and evaluate net impact over time. Rand encourages brands to shift focus from granular ROI tracking to identifying where their audience spends time and investing in channels, like podcasts and blogs, where competitors aren't yet visible. He also cautions against over-optimizing for paid media and emphasizes the power of brand presence and share of mind in an era dominated by AI-driven discovery. In this episode of the Up Arrow Podcast, William Harris interviews Rand Fishkin, Co-founder and CEO of SparkToro, about how marketers can adapt to the changing digital landscape. Rand explores why traditional attribution is breaking down, how audience research unlocks new opportunities, and the flaws in post-purchase surveys. He also dives into AI's role in SEO, the influence of brand mentions over backlinks, and the importance of leading with transparency and kindness.

Public broadcasters large and small have been reacting to the unprecedented Congressional vote to pull already-approved funding for public media. In Oregon and Washington, public radio stations face an array of challenges, depending on their size and resources. Some radio stations play nationally-produced NPR content, but not all. Many are squarely focused on covering their local community news with locally produced programs. Tribal stations, rural stations, student-driven stations and classical music stations are among those  hardest hit. Joining us to tell us more are KMUN Station Manager Susan Peterson in Astoria; Northwest Public Broadcasting’s Director of Audience and Programming Sueann Ramella in Pullman, WA; KWSO's Sue Matters on the Warm Springs Indian Reservation; and KLCC reporter Zac Ziegler in Eugene. OPB is among the public media organizations affected by the rescission cuts.

En fait, y a-t-il un bon moment pour se lancer ? Vous êtes nombreuses à tenter l'aventure de l'entrepreneuriat en parallèle d'un emploi salarié. Et je sais que vous êtes également nombreuses à vous demander s'il est vraiment tenable de se lancer en parallèle d'un emploi salarié. Si vous me connaissez un peu, je suis sûre que vous connaissez déjà ma réponse. Sauf que ce serait trop facile pour moi de vous dire que tout est possible, et que oui bien sûr en vous organisant vous pouvez tout à fait créer une activité en parallèle de votre emploi. Alors, j'ai demandé à quelqu'un de très spécial de venir partager son expérience avec nous. Il s'agit d'une femme qui a une activité très prenante (vous allez voir que je pèse mes mots, c'est le moins qu'on puisse dire) ; elle donc une activité très prenante, et pourtant elle a trouvé le temps et l'énergie de lancer sa propre marque, seule depuis son appartement en Hongrie. Il se trouve que j'ai le grand honneur de bien connaître cette personne puisqu'elle a suivi mon programme de formation Stratégie Indépendante. Cette personne vous l'avez probablement vue à la télé cet été. Il s'agit d'Estelle Nze Minko, championne d'Europe, championne du monde et nouvellement championne Olympique de handball féminin. Malgré son emploi du temps très serré, Estelle a accepté de discuter à mon micro du lancement de son entreprise The V Box, de ce qui l'anime, de son organisation, et du bonheur que lui procure cette activité. Pour suivre Estelle et en savoir plus sur son entreprise The V Box : > Le site The V Box > Instagram The V Box > Instagram d'Estelle Hébergé par Ausha.

Biden passed the most ambitious climate legislation in American history. Trump just shredded it. What does that mean for the future of renewable energy in America? Where does the climate movement go from here? And is it too late for us to avert climate catastrophe? To answer these questions, I invited onto the show two climate experts: Jesse Jenkins, who is a leading climate modeler and a professor at Princeton University, where he runs the Princeton ZERO Lab, and Jane Flegal, who is the executive director of the Blue Horizons Foundation and served on the Biden administration's climate policy team.We discuss how far Trump's policies have set us back, the lessons the climate movement should learn from this loss and what the next wave of climate politics may look like. Mentioned:“Impacts of the One Big Beautiful Bill On The US Energy Transition – Summary Report” by REPEAT Project“There's a Race to Power the Future.

While openness can build trust, there's a fine line between “vulnerable” and “uh-oh.” Brené Brown, the goddess, says oversharing isn't true vulnerability—it can actually result in disconnection, distrust, and disengagement. So why do we overshare at work? Sometimes it is because we want to feel seen. Without our usual support systems—family, friends, faith, community—we sometimes turn our coworkers into unwilling therapists. Stress is another biggie – and can cause all of us to vent from time to time. We mistake emotional outbursts for “processing.” Sometimes we don't realize we've gone too far.   Sometimes we misread culture.  Social media has created norms of sharing that are in many cases not appropriate in the workplace. Oversharing risks include: damaged credibility; gossip fuel, confused boundaries and just uncomfortable moments, which lead to uncomfortable relationships. There is some clear guidance here - graphic health details, romantic chaos, money problems, coworker critiques, political or religious rants, constant negativity, and good old-fashioned trauma-dumping are no-gos.  Save that for your best friend. But here's the nuance: not all sharing is bad.  Strategic vulnerability builds trust when we consider relevance, timing, and audience. Saying “I'm overwhelmed” during a tough week = helpful. Saying “my child was arrested this week and is in jail” in the middle of the Monday morning staff meeting = probably nope.  Telling your supervisor – in private – or a trusted coworker, probably yes.  Your child's arrest is not relevant to the Monday meeting, but it could very well be relevant to your performance and the need for time off so talking with your boss is appropriate because it is relevant and just with your boss at a time which of course you have confirmed is convenient.  Relevance.  Timing.  Audience. Boundaries aren't walls—they're fences with gates. Absolutely we should open those gates, but wisely.

The consensus that held American Jewry together for generations is breaking down. That consensus, roughly, was this: What is good for Israel is good for the Jews; anti-Zionism is a form of antisemitism; and there will someday soon be a two-state solution that reconciles Zionism and liberalism — or, at the very least, Israel is seeking such a solution.Every single component of that consensus has cracked. And as I've been talking to people from different walks of American Jewish life — politicians and rabbis and activists and analysts and journalists — what I realize is there is nothing coming in to replace it.Read the column here.Thoughts?

Have you ever felt stuck trying to get seen? Whether you're just starting to build your audience so you can launch your subscription box or you're deep into scaling your business, this episode is for you. I sat down with Brooke Riley of Re-Fabbed with Brooke Riley and Re-Fabbed Boutique. She shared how she built two successful businesses and a thriving community by showing up authentically, consistently, and imperfectly. Brooke started her business 10 years ago with a DIY blog and built a Facebook audience from scratch to send readers to her blog. When Facebook LIVE first rolled out, she jumped right in and discovered how powerful it was to connect with people in real time. Her blog views skyrocketed. Her income grew. And when her audience started asking what she was wearing on her LIVEs and where they could get it, Brooke paid attention. That question planted the seed for what would become the Re-fabbed Boutique, which she's grown into a multi-million dollar business over the past 7 years. More than just a boutique, Brooke has built a community. And she believes that connection – built by showing up as her true self and serving her audience – is what sets her apart. We covered so much in this conversation, including: • Why consistency is everything when building your audience, even when it feels like no one is watching. • How showing up authentically helps your people connect with you. • The danger of waiting for everything to be “perfect” before you start. • How personal content builds trust and deepens relationships with your audience. • Why your actions, not just your words, determine your success. When I asked Brooke, coach-to-coach, about the biggest mistake business owners make, her answer was simple and powerful: They wait. They think everything has to be perfect before they take the first step. They stay stuck in a compulsive learning mode instead of doing. If you've been holding back, Brooke and I challenge you to start today. Show up. Build trust. Be consistent. And get seen, organically. Because if you want to launch your subscription box or grow your business, your audience needs to know you. Brooke left us with one final thought. And in true Brooke Riley fashion, she didn't sugarcoat it: If you want this, your actions need to show it. You either want it or you don't. Do the work. Your audience is waiting, but you have to put yourself out there to be found. What You'll Learn in This Episode • Why consistency and authenticity matter more than perfection • How to build trust and connection with your audience •. What it really takes to launch and grow, even when it feels scary • Why your audience will show up for you when you show up for them Join me for this episode if you're ready to stop hiding and start building the business you've been dreaming about.

Audience questions are usually a welcome sign—they show interest, engagement, and curiosity. But sometimes, even a well-meaning question can throw a presentation off track… and it's rarely about the content. What if the real problem isn't what they ask, but when they ask it? In this quick, five-minute Pocket Sized Pep Talk, I'll show you how to handle mid-presentation questions without losing control of your message. You'll learn a simple, classic technique to keep your talk on course while still honoring your audience's curiosity.

The discussion centers on strategies for scaling e-commerce businesses, focusing on customer segmentation, data analytics, and revenue multipliers. Drew shares insights on improving revenue through customer retention, diversifying sales channels, and leveraging direct mail. He emphasizes the importance of understanding customer behavior, using data-driven decision-making, and maintaining profitability. The episode offers actionable takeaways for seven-figure business owners aiming to scale to eight figures and beyond.Here are the 3 action items that Josh identified from this episode:Maximize Customer Segmentation with RFM Analysis – Use RFM (Recency, Frequency, Monetary) analysis to categorize customers based on their purchasing behavior. Identify high-value customers and tailor marketing strategies to boost retention, upselling, and repeat purchases. This approach reduces reliance on discounting and enhances long-term profitability.Diversify Sales Channels to Reduce Risk – Avoid over-reliance on Amazon by establishing your own direct-to-consumer (DTC) platform, such as a Shopify store. This enables better control over customer data, improved brand visibility, and a more stable revenue stream through multiple touchpoints, including retail, social commerce, and direct mail marketing.Cut Costs Without Compromising Growth – Regularly reassess operational expenses by renegotiating contracts, transitioning to cost-effective platforms like Shopify and Klaviyo, and avoiding long custom IT projects. Prioritize investments in strategic growth areas while eliminating unnecessary expenditures to maintain profitability.Resources mentioned in this episode:Here are the mentions with timestamps arranged by topic:Ecomm BreakthroughJosh Hadley on LinkedIneComm Breakthrough YouTubeeComm Breakthrough ConsultingeComm Breakthrough PodcastEmail Josh Hadley: Josh@eCommBreakthrough.comAmazonPost Pilot  Klaviyo  Shopify  RFM (Recency, Frequency, Monetary)ICE Scoring MethodTurnaround Tips by Drew SanockiHow Brands Grow by Drew Sanocki80/20 Sales and MarketingJay AbrahamDavid HitchcockSpecial Mention(s):Adam “Heist” Runquist on LinkedInKevin King on LinkedInMichael E.
