In this episode, I welcome two respected experts in the digital advertising space, Ben Wise and Jeremy Freedman, to explore the evolving landscape of digital advertising and the future of agency structures.We start by discussing the current definition of digital advertising, noting its evolution beyond traditional online ads to encompass various channels like billboards, audio, and even in-video game ads. Ben suggests that dropping the term "digital" from advertising could benefit the industry, as advertising increasingly permeates all aspects of modern life.The conversation turns to the role of chief digital officers in organizations, with Ben and Jeremy advocating for a shift towards a more consumer-centric approach rather than focusing solely on digital channels. They emphasize the importance of understanding consumer behavior and meeting them where they are, regardless of the platform.Programmatic advertising is highlighted as a solution to simplify the complexities of reaching consumers across multiple channels. Jeremy explains that programmatic technology streamlines media buying and offers a more efficient way to target audiences.Data-driven targeting is recognized as a powerful tool in advertising, but both guests stress the importance of creative messaging. They emphasize that while data can optimize targeting, effective creative remains essential for engaging consumers and driving results.In the end, Ben and Jeremy assert that a balance between data-driven targeting and compelling creative is key to successful advertising campaigns. They highlight the need for continued innovation and adaptation in the ever-changing advertising landscape.Listen in to hear the whole discussion.

Riding Shotgun With Charlie#146Anne MauroCollegiate Shotgun Coach, University of Maryland   At SHOT Show 2022, Cheryl Todd (RSWC #060) messaged me and said I need to have Anne Mauro on the stagecoach. After some group texts and making plans during a vacation week, I hit the road for Maryland.  Anne is a shotgun coach at the University of Maryland, where she runs a top notch program that she grew from the bottom up. We met at The Point at Pintail in Queenstown, MD, where she started her shotgunning path, not knowing where it would lead her.    Anne started shotgun shooting at her husband's suggestion and started Pintail Point renting a shotgun to use. Her instructor, Ben Wise, made it fun and enjoyable for her so she kept going.  Eventually, the rental guns were up for sale and she bought the one she was renting.  When she used it, she had to take off the recoil pad. After she bought the gun, she headed up to Maine to have a custom stock made to her specifications, which led to helping manufacturers design stocks for women. Let's face it, the ‘pink it and shrink it' didn't really work for new female shooters. She's designed shotguns for Blaser including the F16 Intuition design.    Anne found herself offering to teach a Lady's Clinic at the National Shooting Complex in San Antonio, TX. She had some folks that doubted her, but she proved them wrong in the first year, filling several clinics. From there, her clinics were always filled with ladies wanting to improve their skills. Eventually, the ladies got to shoot at the Nationals' stadium where all the big dogs want to shoot! One of the most rewarding moments is when a lady who already knew how to shoot well came to the clinic and Anne asked her why she was her, she said it was just to learn from Anne. The great thing about Anne as a coach is that she realized that women needed some help with her focus, not her shooting.    The University of Maryland asked if she would work with their informal trap and skeet clubs which she did and she introduced sporting clays as well. The very first year, they won their first regional championship. They've won over 80 other awards over the years with everyone from beginners to experienced shooters who need some fine tuning. When she started, it was called the Shotgun Sports Team, but eventually they changed the name to the U of M Clay Target Team. She knew that this wasn't a battle the club would win, but it paid off a few years later with some funding from the university for specialty shooting vests.  She's also got some stories about how the team got sponsored by Beretta.    There's some great tips about coaching, shotgunning and dominant eye exercises she shares with us, we talk about practicing, the time commitment, and much more. And she's got a great story about Ted Nugent, too!   Favorite quotes: “My shooting instructor at the time, Ben Wise,a great individual, kept me safe and made it fun even though I was black and blue.” “They just ‘I can't thank you enough because I've got a great sport that I enjoy with my family.'” “I'm going to take this team and I'm going to make something of them.” “You have this imaginary bag on your side here, you get these little pieces of golden nuggets you put in that bag, you just kind of store them in there and over time you'll learn when to pull those pieces out.” “You had to be able to prove yourself, not only in what you do knowledge-wise, but being able to shoot, all of it.”   Timestamp 00:00 Intro 01:25 Anne Mauro 04:14 Texted at SHOT 05:08 Lessons with Ben Wise 12:16 Designing shotguns & traveling  13:54 Lady's clinic surprise 17:17 Nationals' stadium 19:39 Amazing moment 20:36 Chesapeake Bay Bridge 22:12 “Fun that can be had” 24:35 University of Maryland 31:40 Coaching  34:13 Impostor syndrome 36:32 Commitment 39:58 Eye dominance 42:54 Coaching tips 44:55 Beretta sponsorship 51:09 U of M support 54:45 Book idea 59:54 Uncle Ted story 1:02:18 Wrap Up   University of Maryland Clay Target Team on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/umdclaytargetteam/   University of Maryland Clay Target Team on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/UMDtrapandskeet/   The Point at Pintail Sporting Clays  https://pointatpintail.com/   Blaser F16 Intuition Shotgun https://www.blaser.de/us/products/firearms/shotgun-f16/f16-sporting/f16-sporting-intuition/   Diva WOW https://divawow.org/   Second Amendment Foundation http://saf.org/   Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms https://www.ccrkba.org/     Please support the Riding Shotgun With Charlie sponsors and supporters.    Buy RSWC & GunGram shirts & hoodies, stickers & patches, and mugs at the store! http://ridingshotgunwithcharlie.com/rswc-shop/   Keyhole Holsters  Veteran Owned, American Made http://www.keyholeholsters.com/   Dennis McCurdy Author, Speaker, Firewalker http://www.find-away.com/   Self Defense Radio Network http://sdrn.us/

Today we hear a heartbreaking yet inspiring set of combat stories of three brothers, told by the only one to survive the post-9/11 battlefield: former Marine Beau Wise. While serving in Afghanistan, SEAL veteran and CIA contractor Jeremy Wise was killed in an al Qaeda suicide bombing that devastated the US intelligence community (as you'll hear in this interview and as depicted in this scene from Zero Dark Thirty and also in the book Triple Agent). Less than three years later, Green Beret Ben Wise was fatally wounded after volunteering for a dangerous assignment during a firefight with the Taliban. Ben was posthumously awarded the Silver Star, while Jeremy received the Intelligence Star AND a star on the CIA's Memorial Wall, which I can attest to. Our guest, Beau, is the only known American service member to be pulled from the battlefield after losing two brothers in Afghanistan. This was a challenging interview but one that I'm eternally grateful that I was allowed to do. The account you're about to hear is detailed in the incredible book, Three Wise Men: A Navy SEAL, a Green Beret, and How Their Marine Brother Became a War's Sole Survivor, written by Beau Wise and Tom Sileo. Show Notes 0:00 - Intro 0:47 - Beau bio. 1:50 - Interview begins. 3:05 - “My mom was a walking encyclopedia of American conflicts.” 5:25 - Introducing Ben and Jeremy as kids. 10:12 - Life shaping event for Beau and his brothers. 12:25 - How on Earth do three brothers choose three different branches of service and become a SEAL, a Green Beret, and a Marine? 18:30 - How your mom might react after signing up for the Marine Corps. 22:10 - Beau's description as an 0331 Marine. 27:57 - The loss of the first Wise brother, Jeremy, who was one of the seven CIA personnel killed at FOB Chapman in Khost, Afghanistan on Dec 30th, 2009. 33:28 - Mindset after a devastating loss and being sent back into the breach. 35:55 - Advice on how to handle the loss of someone close in combat. 40:18 - Beau's experience identifying an IED emplacement in Marjah. 47:25 - A phenomenal training and then combat story from Jeremy Wise in his time as a SEAL. 49:55 - A combat story from Ben Wise during his time as a Green Beret medic and sniper. 54:15 - What happens after Beau learns of Ben's passing. 56:48 - What did Beau, Ben, and Jeremy carry into combat for good luck. 1:01:30 - Would you do it all again, after all the pain and suffering?

In 2010, Beau and Ben Wise buried their big brother Jeremy. Two years later, Beau buried his brother Ben. He went from the youngest son to the only son.

Only once during the nearly two decades-long war in Afghanistan has an active-duty combat member been pulled from duty due to the deaths of two family members in war. Beau Wise is that man. His brother, Navy SEAL combat veteran Jeremy Wise was killed in a suicide bombing that targeted the CIA. A terrorist sleeper agent working with al Qaeda's second-in-command, Ayman al-Zawahiri, perpetrated the sneak attack, which marked the worst loss of life for the CIA in a quarter century. Less than three years later, U.S. Army Green Beret sniper Ben Wise was fatally wounded after volunteering for a dangerous assignment during a firefight with the Taliban. Jeremy received the Intelligence Star, one of the rarest awards bestowed by the U.S. government, and also a star on the CIA's Memorial Wall. Ben was posthumously awarded the Silver Star. The Wise brothers' story of service began shortly after 9/11. Each brother volunteered to serve their nation. Their family is steeped in the richness of the heartland of America, woven into the historical fabric of the military for generations of service, and they are a family that has sacrificed much in the defense of the U.S. In THREE WISE MEN, written with Tom Sileo (St. Martin's Publishing Group, on sale 1/5/21, $28.99), Beau Wise not only pays tribute to his fallen brothers Jeremy and Ben, delving into his family's long history of patriotism, but also pays honor to the many who have sacrificed so much during our post-9/11 wars. As a recipient of the Department of Defense's "Sole Survivor' designation, Wise writes a stirring and intimate portrait of combat and the strength of family under the most trying of situations. No military family has sacrificed more during the lengthy Afghanistan war than the Wise family. Told in Beau's voice, this is an incredible memoir of family, service, and dedication to the freedom of the United States.

Beau Wise and Tom Sileo joined The Protectors to talk about their book THREE WISE MEN.  We go into the background of the Wise brothers' service, teaming up to write their story, and much more.  Beau and Tom also talk a bit about reaching out to the SOF community to gather information for the book.  ABOUT THREE WISE MEN: From Beau Wise and Tom Sileo comes Three Wise Men, an incredible memoir of family, service and sacrifice by a Marine who lost both his brothers in combat--becoming the only "Sole Survivor" during the war in Afghanistan.Shortly after the 9/11 attacks, three brothers by blood became brothers in arms when each volunteered to defend their country. No military family has sacrificed more during the ensuing war, which has become the longest ever fought by America's armed forces.While serving in Afghanistan, US Navy SEAL veteran and CIA contractor Jeremy Wise was killed in an al Qaeda suicide bombing that devastated the US intelligence community.
