In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela open the penultimate show with a quick run through the week's news before easing into a more personal conversation about the series, its early days, and the audience that has stayed with them. The mood shifts as they look back on what the show has meant, how the community formed, and why this run has mattered to each of them. Crispin returns for a final appearance, bringing a mix of unrestrained theatrics and unexpected sincerity as the hosts let the moment play out. Audience voicemails guide the rest of the episode, prompting the panel to examine favorite conspiracy theories, dismiss the ones that don't hold up, and talk through why speculation spreads so quickly during chaotic events. The discussion moves between humor and reflection as they address grief, public reaction, and how easily narratives take shape online. The show winds down with an “End of the World” segment and a closing sketch built around a fashion executive defending a disastrously misguided mannequin redesign, ending the episode with a sharp bit of satire. Today's guest on "Normal World" is Matt Bechtel, Gerard Michaels, Matt McClowry. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Hey everyone, it's Dave Jackson from the School of Podcasting! In today's episode, I sit down with Heidi Kay Begay from Red House Productions (website: redhouseproductions.net) to discuss how you don't need a massive audience to start monetizing your podcast. She reveals practical and inspiring strategies to pitch your value and land meaningful brand relationships, even when your show is still growing.Key Points & TakeawaysYou Don't Need Huge Download Numbers: Heidi Kay Begay shares how she started pitching to sponsors around episode 30 of her niche show, Flute360, and landed deals despite having a small audience.Mindset Shift: Treating your podcast like a business is crucial. I loved Heidi's “corn and wheat” metaphor—don't expect business results if you're just planting hobby seeds!Pitching Sponsors: Heidi describes reaching out directly to music-branded companies—flute makers, apparel, gadgets—and focusing on how to create a win/win relationship from day one. She didn't let her lack of experience or nerves stop her!Focus on Value Over Numbers: Rather than falling for CPM (cost per mille) models, Heidi looked at what brands spend for visibility in her industry—conference booths, event program ads, etc.—and built sponsorship packages (bronze, silver, gold) that reflected that value.Partnership, Not Just Ad Reads: Heidi emphasizes listening to a sponsor's specific goals and showing genuine interest in their needs, often including interview opportunities and co-promotions to make the partnership more meaningful.Negotiation is Key: Most deals aren't signed after one email. Expect lots of back and forth, and be ready to listen and adjust your offer. Don't feel you need everything perfect before you start the conversation.Pricing Sponsorships: Heidi recommends considering not only downloads but also your total digital presence—social media, mailing list, engagement rates, speaking appearances, etc. Sponsors look at much more than just podcast stats.Campaign Tracking & Follow-Up: Not all sponsors require detailed post-campaign stats. Some are satisfied knowing their brand was featured; others want custom URLs to track results. Being organized and professional goes a long way.Dealing with Rejection: Both Heidi and I agree—a “no” today could be a “yes” later. Don't burn bridges, rejection is often just “not now.”AI Music Tools: I shared my experience using Suno (suno.ai), an AI music creation platform, to generate podcast outro music. If you use paid tiers, you own the commercial rights (worth checking out, especially if you need affordable, legal music for your show).Check out Heidi's Course on Monetization.Websites Mentionedredhouseproductions.net – Heidi's podcast production/consulting hub.schoolofpodcasting.com – My site for podcast coaching, resources, and community.suno.ai – AI music creation platform.horseradionetwork.com – Referenced for creative sponsorship strategies.
On this episode we dive deep into Glif. This beginner tutorial shows how AI agents on Glif automatically optimize prompts and workflows to create scroll-stopping content. We demo four agents live: Mr. Beast-style thumbnails, miniature documentaries, AI influencer videos, and automated Reddit story content. Total cost: $2. Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro 03:35 – Nano Banana Ultimate 08:53 – Diorama Shorts Creator 15:49 – AI Influencer Generator 23:27 – TikTok Reddit Story Creator 32:28 – Conclusion and Final Thoughts Key Frameworks: The ACP Funnel (Audience → Community → Product) Build businesses in this order: First create an Audience with storytelling/content (use creative AI here), then build a Community with paid memberships or IRL events, then create a Product to sell to them. This gives you the highest probability of success. Modern Social Strategy: 1 Brand + 10 People Old way: 1 brand account on multiple platforms. New way: 1 brand account + 10 different people accounts (real and AI influencers) across platforms. If 1-2 of 10 pop off, you win. Four Demos Shown: Nano Banana Ultimate: Redesigned thumbnail Mr. Beast-style with proper aspect ratios, high contrast, exaggerated expressions—got 3 variants that couldn't be achieved with regular Nano Banana Miniature Documentary Creator: Created 40-second tilt-shift video about Facebook IPO in ~5 minutes using Seadream, WAN 2.2, 11Labs—includes research, script, voiceover, animations, period music, and subtitles (agencies charge thousands; this cost $0.40) AI Influencer Generator: Generated 35-year-old woman in tennis clothing using Quen Realism and OmniHuman—creates realistic talking head videos for brand representative accounts or video ads at zero production cost Reddit Story Automation: Scraped r/SaaS for story about developer building $1M SaaS through Reddit, generated educational 60-second video with voiceover, Pexels stock footage, and subtitles—enables faceless content channels (example cited: 67% of customers from Reddit, zero CAC) Key Insight: AI agents get you 80% there but you still need to be the creative director, push agents to create better scripts, expect to iterate, and manually review for character consistency and details.

#179: Corey Rice, Director of Strategy at KORTX joins the pod to unpack two decades of evolution in digital marketing—from his early days back around the time of Friendster to today's programmatic, data-driven ecosystem. He explains how real-time bidding reshaped advertising, why first-party data is an underused goldmine, and how strategy must now bridge the gap between data and creative. Rice dives into: ✔️Audience targeting ✔️The tension between granularity and scale ✔️And how to balance omnichannel ambitions with limited budgets ✔️His philosophy on letting data guide creative ✔️And KORTX'S growing focus on franchise marketing, where balancing local authenticity with national brand consistency is key. We also dive into the future of agencies and how they are being asked to do more with less. How AI is now the new teammate that never sleeps. And his belief that if agencies embrace AI as a tool, not a crutch, they'll thrive in the next chapter of digital marketing.

Send us a textIn this episode of Imperfect Marketing, host Kendra Corman tackles one of her biggest marketing pet peeves — believing that artificial intelligence can replace truly knowing your audience. With AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini becoming everyday marketing helpers, many professionals are skipping the fundamentals of understanding their customers. Kendra explains why that shortcut leads to bland, ineffective content and what to do instead.The Problem with Skipping the BasicsMany marketers use AI to generate content without doing the essential groundwork of understanding their audience.AI tends to “make you happy” — it tells you what you want to hear, not necessarily what your target market is actually thinking.When you rely solely on AI, you end up with generic, emotionless copy that fails to connect.Understanding Your Audience: The Real Marketing 101Knowing your audience isn't just about demographics — it's about visualizing the person you're talking to.Kendra shares a story about working with a local business that used detailed data to build realistic customer personas—down to shopping habits, lifestyle, and motivations.You don't need expensive software to do this. Start by thinking about your favorite client and what makes them unique.How to Really Learn About Your AudienceSkip the surveys—people edit themselves when writing responses.Have real conversations with your audience instead. Ask questions like:What's keeping you up at night?What frustrates you most about your business or life?What do you wish you had a solution for?These conversations give you the exact words and emotions that resonate with your audience — words you can later feed into AI for far more powerful results.Using AI the Right WayOnce you understand your audience, AI becomes a powerful tool — not a replacement for human connection.AI can help you:Brainstorm ideas and refine your voiceDraft faster and polish existing contentCreate consistent, audience-specific messagingThe difference between “Write me an email” and “Write me an email for this audience, in this voice, about this problem” is night and day.Key Takeaways for MarketersAI isn't the enemy — but it's not magic either.You are the strategist. AI can only amplify what you already know.Know your audience better than anyone else, and your marketing will never sound forced or fake.Whether you're a business owner, marketer, or content creator, this episode will challenge you to return to the roots of great marketing: understanding people.
Instagram stories are my favorite place to re-engage an audience. So today, I'm taking you through the strategies that actually work for me and my clients. Because here's the thing: the average story view rate drops 20% with every tap. So if you want your stories to drive people to your DMs and drive sales, you need to be intentional. Your stories aren't a place to talk at your audience. Instead, you want to chat with them. This looks like using the engagement tools Instagram provides and actually following through in the DMs, even if it's just one person that shows up at first. Beyond simply using the tools, I'm telling you exactly how I like to use them. Because a question box is simply less effective if it's used to push complicated questions your audience doesn't feel like answering! And their are ways to use these tools that actually prompt the algorithm to share your stories with more people. So we'll be covering strategies that will awaken your current audience and get more eyes on your stories in general. Have you ever thought about treating your stories the same way you would a reel? Have you given any thought to pacing and what you can do to mitigate audience fatigue? If not, now is the time. From story sequencing to pacing tips, there are simple ways you can take the guessing game out of stories. And soon enough, you'll actually be building the community you long for. In today's episode, we're chatting about: Things I'm seeing that are NOT working on Instagram stories Why you should start story sequencing My engagement-bait tip for the first story you share each day The side CTA strategy Campaign specific tips Connect with me: Website Join our email list!

This week's episode features Ben Carrey of Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, and I couldn't be more thrilled to share this with one with you!! Pigeons is one of my favorite bands — I absolutely love their brand of rollicking, funky rock. Their jams are simply exquisite, and Ben drives this forward motion with his unique style on bass guitar. Pigeons' eighth album, Feed The Fire is out now, and they're headed out on their Fall tour — catch them while you can!Ben is super thoughtful and a gentle and kind soul, and he talks to me about growing up a shy kid in Baltimore — and we discuss how Ben's unique (some may say unorthodox) style of playing has shaped the Pigeons signature sound. Ben is quite literary and very well read and we go down that rabbit hole a bit… with his love of Physics mixed in just for fun.Ben also talks to me about mental health and some of the challenges he faces. He's super open with a striking and honest self-awareness that is utterly refreshing. This is an epic conversation with this talented artist, and I can't wait to share this one with you.=======================================Chapters:00:00 Episode Intro with Host Josh Rosenberg04:38 Introducing Ben Carrey07:17 Celebrating the New Album and Touring Experiences10:21 Collaboration with The Infamous Stringdusters13:15 Exploring Musical Influences and Techniques 16:08 Fretless Bass and Its Unique Qualities 19:10 Cultural Connections and Personal Reflections 22:11 Musical Relationships and Band Dynamics 25:03 The Science of Music and Connection 28:10 Growing Up and Family Ties 33:35 Nostalgia and Family Connections 35:39 The Power of Solitude and Self-Discovery 36:42 Literary Influences and Early Interests 39:38 The Fascination with Physics and Quantum Mechanics 43:49 The Intersection of Science and Spirituality 45:29 The Magic of Music and Sound 48:11 Musical Beginnings and the Journey to Bass 54:04 Overcoming Fear and Embracing Performance 55:46 Mental Health Challenges and the Music Industry 59:40 Finding Balance and Support in Music 01:04:03 Connecting with the Audience and Personal Growth 01:06:18 The Power of Connection and Community 01:08:36 Psychedelics and Mental Health 01:13:52 The Journey of Self-Discovery 01:17:31 The Significance of 'Hit the Ground Running' 01:20:27 Collaborative Evolution in Music 01:24:45 The Impact of Live Performances 01:27:51 Dome Fest and New Beginnings 01:31:32 Looking Ahead: Future Plans and Festivals=======================================For more information on Roadcase:https://linktr.ee/roadcasepod and https://www.roadcasepod.comOr contact Roadcase by email: info@roadcasepod.comRoadcase theme music: "Eugene (Instrumental)" by Waltzer
Don't Kill the Messenger with movie research expert Kevin Goetz
Send Kevin a Text MessageIn this engaging episode of Don't Kill the Messenger, host Kevin Goetz interviews his business associate, Bob Levin, about his remarkable journey from Sears catalog copywriter to President of Worldwide Marketing at Disney, Sony Pictures, and MGM, before joining Kevin at Screen Engine in the role of President and COO. Listen in as these two industry veterans share marketing insights and discuss their upcoming book, How to Score in Hollywood (Simon & Schuster, November 11th), which reveals the hidden formula behind a movie's profitability — showing how audience understanding drives smarter decisions from greenlight to release.Disney's Renaissance Era (09:00) Bob recounts joining Disney just as Eisner and Katzenberg were revitalizing the studio, leading marketing during 17 consecutive hits, including Down and Out in Beverly Hills, The Lion King, and Pretty Woman.Marketing Philosophy (15:51) "Good marketing is both instinct and data," Bob explains, describing his pioneering approach of creating targeted messaging for different audience segments at Disney's animation division.Pretty Woman & Marketing Triumphs (19:33) Bob reveals how he helped to transform Pretty Woman from a potentially dark R-rated film into a celebration of female empowerment, even suggesting the iconic title to replace the original "3000".The Screen Engine Years (34:40) After leading marketing at three major studios, Bob joined Screen Engine, helping to build their research business, which started in Kevin's living room, into an industry powerhouse that expanded beyond film into other industries.How to Score in Hollywood (42:48) Bob discusses their upcoming book, which examines how movies get greenlit, applying the principle that "every movie if made and marketed for the right price should make money.”Understanding Audience Response (47:42) Levy notes that audiences aren't "wrong" when they dislike something; they're simply reacting honestly. Bob learned that viewers fundamentally seek characters with whom they can identify.The Attention Economy (48:54) Rather than thinking in terms of being in "the movie business," Levin suggests viewing entertainment as part of "the attention economy" where respecting the audience and telling great stories remains paramount.If you enjoyed this episode, please leave us a review and share. We look forward to bringing you more behind-the-scenes revelations next time on Don't Kill the Messenger.Host: Kevin GoetzGuest: Bob LevinProducer: Kari CampanoWriters: Kevin Goetz, Darlene Hayman, and Kari CampanoAudio Engineer: Gary Forbes (DG Entertainment)For more information about Bob Levin:Simon and Schuster:https://www.simonandschuster.com/authors/Bob-Levin/240343657LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robert-levin-843797125/IMDB: For more information about Kevin Goetz:- Website: www.KevinGoetz360.com- Audienceology Book: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Audience-ology/Kevin-Goetz/9781982186678- How to Score in Hollywood: https://www.amazon.com/How-Score-Hollywood-Secrets-Business/dp/198218986X/- Facebook, X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Substack: @KevinGoetz360- LinkedIn @Kevin Goetz- Screen Engine/ASI Website: www.ScreenEngineASI.com

Everyone saw the headlines—but the real lessons from Alex Hormozi's $100M book launch are in the planning, positioning, and pre-launch. In this episode, I break down the fundamentals you can lift straight into your next product launch or Black Friday promo: how to think like a founder (not an influencer), engineer your unit economics, and turn months of value-led content into a movement people want to be part of—before you ever make the ask. Here's what you'll take away: • Launch like a founder: plan, test, and engineer every touchpoint (not just “post & hope”) • Positioning > polishing: sell the category and the community, not just the product • Pre-launch depth: stack 3–6 months of value to build goodwill, trust, and demand • Make the math work: VIPs, bulk buys, and upsells that liquidate ad spend • Content as R&D: use social to test hooks, angles, & offers long before launch day • Audience size isn't everything: relationships and belief beat raw follower count If you apply even one of these to your next launch—especially dialing positioning and pre-launch—you'll see a lift in conversion, revenue, and long-tail demand.

In this time of uncertainty and pullback of federal support for higher education, is it time for states to step up and play a greater leadership role in helping colleges better serve students? And if so, how? Jeff and Michael debate those questions on this episode. To set the stage, they talk with Ruth Watkins, president of postsecondary education for Strada Education Foundation and a former college president, about Strada's new State Opportunity Index. A key theme: the state level may be the ideal one to match educational offerings with available jobs, especially as AI reshapes so many industries. This episode is made with support from Strada Education Foundation.Chapters0:00 - Intro3:40 - How a New Report Measures State Higher Ed Efforts5:53 - Is This a Time for States to Lead?8:17 - How to Encourage Competition Among States10:12 - Which States Lead In Higher Ed ROI12:52 - Low Tuition Doesn't Guarantee Good ROI15:39 - What Can Colleges Do If Job Prospects Are Low in a State?19:00 - Who Is the Audience for the State Opportunity Index?21:09 - How Can State Measure Return on Investing in Higher Ed?23:52 - What Can States Do in Higher Ed to Respond to AI?26:45 - Sponsor Break27:55 - Some Context for How States Interact With Federal Higher Ed Support29:40 - Why Jeff Thinks States and the Feds Aren't ‘Rowing in the Same Direction'32:00 - Why Michael Sees More Alignment in State and Federal Efforts34:15 - Will States Step In to Support Research?37:07 - Are Some States Doing Better on Work-Based Learning?40:54 - Colleges Still Aren't Comfortable in Their Role of Getting Students Jobs46:29 - New Leadership Opportunity In Human Capital in the AI Era48:18 - A Better Way to Measure State Investment51:56 - Lightning Round With Ruth WatkinsRelevant Links:2025 Strada State Opportunity IndexStrada Education Foundation 2025 Grapevine ReportState Higher Education Executive Officers AssociationConnect with Michael Horn:Sign Up for the The Future of Education NewsletterWebsiteLinkedInX (Twitter)Threads Connect with Jeff Selingo:Dream School: Finding the College That's Right for YouSign Up for the Next NewsletterWebsiteX (Twitter)ThreadsLinkedInConnect with Future U:TwitterYouTubeThreadsInstagramFacebookLinkedIn Submit a question and if we answer it on air we'll send you Future U. swag!Sign up for Future U. emails to get special updates and behind-the-scenes content.
