Alright, so, let's talk about Karen Read. It's a name you've probably heard, and if you haven't, buckle up. This case, it's a wild ride. The core of it, the thing that's got everyone buzzing, is that Karen Read is accused of killing her boyfriend, John O'Keefe, a Boston cop, by running him over and leaving him in the snow in 2022. That's the headline, right? But it's what's underneath that's got people talking. Now, the new docu-series, "A Body in the Snow," is dropping, and it's going to dive deep into this. We're talking five episodes, starting tonight, airing on Investigation Discovery and streaming on Max. So, you can catch it live or on demand. The first two episodes, "What Happened at 34 Fairview?" and "Did I Hit Him?" are going to lay the groundwork. Then, we'll get into the nitty-gritty: "How Long to Die in Cold," "A Town Divided," and finally, "The Verdict." Here's the thing, though. It's not just a simple "she did it" story. Read's defense is claiming this is a massive cover-up. They're saying she's being framed by a group, and allegedly, this group includes members of law enforcement. Think of it like a really messed-up game of Clue, where everyone's a suspect and the room is covered in snow. Let's get down to the facts. The night in question, Read reportedly had between four and nine drinks. That's a wide range, but either way, it's way over the legal limit. Now, where's she from? Well, she's a New England native, grew up in Taunton, Massachusetts, and Blacksburg, Virginia. She went to a private Catholic high school in Taunton, Coyle & Cassidy, and then Bentley University. So, not some random person, right? She's got roots. Now, the series is going to explore all this, the alleged cover-up, the alcohol, the relationships, the whole nine yards. It's not just about what happened that night; it's about the aftermath, the town being torn apart. It's like watching a small town drama unfold, but it's real. And, let's be honest, the idea of a cover up with law enforcement involved, is like trying to convince a cat that you didn't just eat their favorite treats, it's going to be hard to prove. It's going to be a quick turnaround, and it's going to be intense. So, get your snacks ready, because this is going to be a story that sticks with you. #KarenRead #JohnOKeefe #TrueCrime #InvestigationDiscovery Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In Episode 32 of the Brand Slam podcast, co-hosts Steve Rosa and Joe Kayata are joined by Shelle Santana, Ph.D., assistant professor of marketing at Harvard Business School and Bentley University, to uncover the secrets behind Super Bowl commercials—just in time for the big game next weekend. Shelle shares how brands use the big game to connect with over 100 million viewers, crafting stories that tap into our emotions and resonate long after the final whistle. Shelle dives into how social media has transformed the Super Bowl advertising landscape. Platforms like X and Instagram let brands engage directly with fans as their ads air, creating real-time buzz—or backlash. It's no longer about the ad itself, but about the conversation that it sparks online and in living rooms around the world. And with stakes this high, at $7 million-plus per 30-second spot, every moment matters. The conversation also highlights the strategy of releasing teasers before the game, a move that can generate early buzz but risks taking away the joy of seeing an ad for the first time during the event. Whether you are in it for the commercials, the halftime show, or the game itself, this episode will have you thinking about Super Bowl ads in a whole new light.

Mike is joined by Dan Ruby, VP of Marketing at Noble9, a leading reliability platform that helps manage and monitor application reliability. Dan discusses the challenges of marketing a product that aims to keep issues unnoticed by end users and how storytelling can make a traditionally "unexciting" product compelling and engaging.

Listen now on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube.—Kate stepped into a design strategist role at Constant Contact earlier this year, where she is focused on integrating GenAI capabilities into their email and digital marketing software to address long-standing user needs of small business owners. Previously, she spent five years honing her skills in mixed-methods research at Constant Contact as well as the Bentley University user experience center where she helped clients in different industries make their technology easier to use. Kate holds a Master's in Human Factors in Information Design from Bentley University and a Bachelor's from Colgate University. A self-described digital renaissance woman, she has worn many hats across her career, giving her a unique perspective on product development. She's passionate about reimagining the future of technology through a thoughtful blend of user insights and emerging innovations.In our conversation, we discuss:* The evolution from user research to strategy roles and how this transition enhances decision-making and business alignment.* Balancing user needs with business goals, emphasizing that they are not mutually exclusive but rather complementary.* Practical steps to integrate strategic thinking into research tasks and presentations, such as adding broader implications to findings.* Building relationships and co-creating roles to ensure alignment and foster collaboration across departments.* The role of intention setting in career transitions and how vision exercises can help clarify personal and professional goals.Check out the goal statement exercise here:Some takeaways:* Research findings need to connect to actionable opportunities. To make research impactful, include a “broader implications” slide in your presentations. This slide should tie research insights to organizational objectives and explore strategic opportunities. For instance, findings from usability tests can highlight broader trends or gaps in user behavior, fostering discussions on larger business implications.* Strategic roles require co-creation and proactive definition. Rather than relying solely on job descriptions, take an active role in shaping your position. Write down what you want to do, combining personal strengths with business needs. Discuss this vision with stakeholders to align expectations and gain buy-in for new responsibilities.* Building cross-departmental relationships is essential. Collaboration thrives on strong interpersonal connections. Initiate coffee chats or casual discussions with stakeholders from other teams. Leverage mutual connections to expand your network and gain insights into how different departments operate, facilitating smoother collaboration on strategic projects.* Career transitions benefit from goal-setting exercises. Set intentions by envisioning your future role in detail. Write a goal statement describing your ideal position, the work you'd like to do, and how you'll feel upon achieving it. Review this regularly to keep your actions aligned with your long-term aspirations.* Strategic thinking marries user and business needs. Adopt a holistic approach where user insights are not seen in isolation but as a means to drive business success. For example, service blueprints and customer journey maps should not only outline user pain points but also identify opportunities for growth, innovation, and profitability.Where to find Kate:* Website* LinkedIn* SubstackInterested in sponsoring the podcast?Interested in sponsoring or advertising on this podcast?

Featuring Jill Brown, Hieken Professor of Business Ethics and Professor of Management at Bentley University. (Recorded 12/19/24)

Carmen Amara, Chief People Officer at Yelp, shares her journey into HR, emphasizing the importance of finding purpose in work and creating a people-first culture. She discusses the power of storytelling, Yelp's shift to remote work, and the role of empathy in leadership, and she debunks myths about HR--particularly the misconception that one must choose between profit and people.

Carmen discusses her desire to make an impact, and how she found a purpose in HR: helping businesses solve complex problems using people, while helping people broaden their skills and develop careers. Yelp's Culture of Belonging Carmen talks about the importance of people-first company culture, and how she was drawn to Yelp's mission, values, and culture of inclusion. Embracing Remote Work Culture Carmen explains Yelp's data-driven decision to stay remote-first after the pandemic, and how listening to employees has been foundational to the company's decision-making. Empathy in Leadership Carmen discusses how empathy in leadership is now more important than ever as the lines between work and life can sometimes blur. Navigating AI in the Workplace Carmen explains how AI can enhance human work rather than replace it, as well as how Yelp is maintaining the integrity of first-party reviews.

Cynthia Alvarez is a first generation Mexican American who grew up in a multigenerational household and is deeply proud of her family history. She exudes gratitude for the choices and sacrifices her parents and grandparents made for their growing family. She talks intimately how her grandparents impacted her values and self-esteem and how her family is still influential to her life decisions. As a young mother of a son, she is committed to raising him in a similar setting surrounded by multigenerational family members, along with her loving husband, Jesús. Cynthia is an alumnae from Bentley University who quickly created a network of friends who were diverse and supportive and continue to be closely connected. Her collegiate experience helped form her position on diversity, equity and inclusion. Cynthia's work post-graduation was immensely satisfying as she worked with adult learners learning English as a Second Language. Often the only team member who could speak fluently to students in their native language, building trust and easing their concerns, she created a safe haven where adult students knew they would be supported as she researched resources on their behalf. She is passionate about fostering safe communities for our immigrant neighbors, friends and loved ones.

A recent poll finds Americans are getting more comfortable with AI. But, they're still worried about it.  The survey was done by Bentley University and Gallup. You can check it out here. 56% of people polled say AI's influence is equally good and bad in society. Two out of three of us say we're learning more about it. But only one in 10 describes themselves as knowing a lot about artificial intelligence.  David Pogue has forgotten more about AI than most of us will ever know.  He's one of the top science and tech reporters in the country and a popular keynote speaker on everything from climate change to crypto.  "All people want me to talk about these days is AI," David told me when I moderated his appearance at the Sacramento Speakers Series.  David's main message?  New technology is scary to humans.  Always has been. Always will be.  But resisting change is pointless.  And you might be surprised at some of the upsides of artificial intelligence.  On this Dying to Ask: Why you need to understand and embrace AI How historically we tend to react to major tech advancements from the steam engine to elevators The impact AI is having on everything from how we learn to how we cure disease And David is known for his optimism and positivity. Where does that come from and how we can all share his spirit?

We all want to be our own bosses. Honestly, who actually enjoys taking orders from somebody else? Don't we all spend most of our days dreaming and scheming about all the better ways we could spend our time, if only we could work up the courage to take the leap? Today's guest, Andrea Schwanbeck, is all too familiar with that inner dialogue. She engaged with it for years, waiting and waiting for the right time to dive into the unknown. But when a COVID layoff blindsided her, Andrea was left with no choice but to finally go all in on herself, even if it meant she had to pay a premium for health insurance as a Type 1 diabetic.

Karen Read, charged twice in the death of Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, has opened up about her ongoing legal battle, strained personal life, and unyielding quest for justice in an interview with *Vanity Fair*. Speaking to reporter Julie Miller, who was granted unrestricted access, Read shared insights into her life since O'Keefe's death and the impact of her highly publicized case. In what Vanity Fair described as a series of candid, in-home interviews, Read, 44, invited Miller to her former Mansfield residence in August. Read opened up about her relationship with O'Keefe, her pending retrial, and the toll her legal battles have taken. Miller reported that Read, who has been staying with family and friends, chose her previous home as the setting for the interviews. She was joined by a volunteer security guard, described by Miller as someone “who looks like John Cena and has a license to carry.” Facing an uncertain future, Read has prepared for the possibility of another arrest, keeping a Ziploc “go bag” on hand with essentials: Advil, melatonin, a toothbrush and toothpaste, a hairbrush, lipstick, and foundation, as well as her lawyer's phone number. “I'm not backing down now,” Read told Vanity Fair, despite the looming prospect of a life sentence if convicted. According to Read, she won't entertain the idea of a plea deal, even under the risk of severe penalties. “As scary as a potential conviction is, I will go to jail for something I didn't do before I plea out. I will never give them that win.” Read, a former Fidelity Investments analyst and Bentley University finance professor, has assembled a team of criminal defense attorneys, but the cost of her legal defense has been steep. She has sold her home to offset expenses and is now living off the remains of her 401(k), accruing more than $5 million in legal fees. “If I can get the entire truth of this case out in the public forum, that, to me, is priceless,” she said. At the core of her defense are allegations that O'Keefe, her boyfriend of two years, was the victim of a violent cover-up involving other Boston police officers. Prosecutors argue that Read deliberately ran him over in her SUV after an evening out on January 29, 2022, a claim her defense refutes, asserting that O'Keefe was beaten by others. In July, her case resulted in a mistrial, and her legal team has appealed to Massachusetts' Supreme Judicial Court to dismiss two of the charges ahead of a scheduled retrial in January. Reflecting on her relationship with O'Keefe, Read described challenges in their dynamic, with disagreements over his role as a disciplinarian for his niece and nephew, who lived with him. According to Read, O'Keefe struggled to mourn his late sister, the children's mother, and remained hesitant about seeking therapy. “I think that's part of his stock,” Read told Vanity Fair, “this Irish Catholic, south-of-Boston, rub-some-dirt-on-it, drink-through-your-problems mindset.” In detailing the night of O'Keefe's death, Read recalled attending a gathering at the Waterfall Bar & Grille in Canton, after which she and O'Keefe joined others at an afterparty. Feeling uneasy upon arrival, she sent O'Keefe inside, only to leave after he didn't return. She admitted to a fleeting thought that he might be “screwing around,” explaining, “I didn't think he was physically incapacitated.” She left him multiple voicemails before heading home. Prosecutors, who highlight Read's flirty exchanges with O'Keefe's acquaintance Brian Higgins, argue that these interactions hint at motives for the crime. In response, Read openly admitted to seeking validation from Higgins. “I knew Higgins found me attractive,” she said, “It helped me emotionally validate myself, which is embarrassing to admit.” Amid the stress of her case, Read has remained steadfast about her innocence. Addressing rumors that she implicated herself in texts, she explained to Vanity Fair that she and her attorney, David Yannetti, only began communicating after police seized her phone. She said she initially told her parents, “If I did anything in any way, I'll pay my dues. That's how this should work. I want to know the truth — good, bad, ugly.” Read's retrial is set to bring her story back into the public eye, with high stakes and public scrutiny on both her legal and personal lives.

How important is it for businesses to increase their profits each year or offer fair wages to workers of all types? How do you think businesses are doing in these areas or, even in other areas, such as operating in a way that is sustainable for the environment and the planet? A Gallup poll of more than 5700 people provided responses to these questions and it was natural to ask how these questions might be connected and whether the pattern of connection differed between groups. Using networks to understand the connection between opinions about how businesses function is the focus of this episode of Stats and Stories with guests Dr. Moinak Bhaduri and Bahareh Zahirodini. Dr. Moinak Bhaduri is an assistant professor at Bently University and studies spatio-temporal Poisson processes and others like the self-exciting Hawkes or log Dr. Gaussian Cox processes that are natural generalizations.

Ruby holds a BA in Broadcast Journalism from the University of Missouri-Columbia and an MBA in International Business from Brandeis University.  Questions ·      We always like to start off by asking our guests if they could share with us a little bit about their journey, how you got from where you were to where you are today. ·      Could you share with our listeners, what is Nobl9 and what exactly are you providing? What service are you providing? How are you adding value to your customers lives using this platform? ·      Could you give us an example, like a use case of an application, you can choose any industry, and kind of just give us an idea of what that looks like so the audience can get a more practical view. ·    Could distinguish or differentiate for our listeners, what's the difference between an SLO and an SLA? ·      Now, Daniel, could you share with us what's the one online resource, tool, website or app that you absolutely can't live without in your business? ·      Where can listeners find you online? ·    Before we wrap our episodes up, we always like to ask our guests, do you have a quote or saying that during times of adversity or challenge, you'll tend to revert to this quote if for any reason you get derailed or you get off track. Highlights Daniel's Journey Me: Now, Daniel, could you share with our listeners, we always like to start off by asking our guests if they could share with us a little bit about their journey, how you got from where you were to where you are today.   Daniel shared that he was a journalist for a while, and kind of realized that there was not much of a market for it, so he kind of went and got an MBA to get a job, and kind of fell backwards into marketing as it is. And over the years, he's been with more than 10, mostly 10 startups, driving marketing, driving the customer experience in terms of from the moment that they're introduced to them as a brand until the moment that they no longer want to be or need to be working with them.  He finds a lot of joy in trying to make that experience pleasant, for lack of a better term. He's self-taught with most of the marketing stuff that he does, and he's kind of over the course of the years he's become very arrogantly convinced about a few core tenets of really communicating to customers and communicating to potential customers that have served him well, and it kind of always comes back to giving value at every step of the journey.   About Nobl9 – Enhancing Software Reliability and Value for Your Business Me: Now, could you share with our listeners, what is Nobl9 and what exactly are you providing? What service are you providing? How are you adding value to your customers lives using this platform?   Daniel shared that Nobl9 is basically a platform for software reliability. So, if we think about how somebody engages with a digital product, or even an in-person product with a digital back end to it. They are the premier, and kind of really only well-established provider of what's called Service Level Objectives, or SLOs. And an SLO was basically taking all of the different data points that make up your product, be it from the software, from the infrastructure, from third party microservices, etc, etc, etc, and rolls it up and actually gives a customer centric view into how reliable is their product.  And the reason that they do this is because most reliability, historically has been around is the product up. Is it up? Is it down? But anybody who's ever used a mobile app or a digital product, or even like a scan to pay service at a cafe knows that it's not just is it up? Is it working, or is everything within it doing what it's supposed to do?  So, he knows marketers like himself have taken the word holistic and kind of beaten it to death. But they do provide a holistic customer centric view. What is the customer experience like when actually using your product?   Me: So, Nobl9 is helping the application to maintain its reliability and have as little or no downtime as possible while the customer is interacting with it correct?   Daniel agreed, correct and kind of beyond downtime, is it, does it load fast enough? Do all of the different features load fast enough? Is there anything blocking my ability as a customer to buy from you or to use your service, or whatever you're trying to do? So, that's effectively what they do.   Practical Use Case – How Nobl9 Enhances Software Reliability Me: Okay, could you give us an example, like a use case of an application, you can choose any industry, and kind of just give us an idea of what that looks like so the audience can get a more practical view.    Daniel shared that it's a little engineering, and he's a marketer so he feels like he's not necessarily smart enough to completely understand the engineering speak of it. But if you think about like an Ecommerce app, if you open up the app and it loads in traditional reliability, that's reliable. But how many times have you gone into an app.   So, let's say your path in using E commerce app is, you're going to load the app, going to search for the product that he wants to buy, he's going to add it to his cart, he's going to go to his cart, he's going to check out. And maybe there's a login to My Account somewhere in the way.   With SLOs, what you can do is you can have all of the different steps of that path viewed as part of this overarching experience with the app. So, if you go to add something to your cart, the app sits there and hangs, that's not good reliability.   If you go to the cart itself, and for whatever reason you go to pay and like the app's connection to PayPal for whatever reason isn't working, and you get this message back that says, hey, we can't complete your payment, try another credit card or something, that's a bad experience. And that's the kind of reliability breakdown that leads people to quit using a product.  So, they make sure that strategically, all of the things that make up that path, you'll have a server dedicated to your shopping cart, you'll have a micro service that is dedicated to completing a purchase. They make sure that all of that you've got visibility into how the experience is for the end user, not just some third-party service that tries to connect and says yes, it can connect, no it can't connect. It's the whole experience of a digital product and they make it easy to understand.   Understanding the Difference – SLOs vs. SLAs Me: Now, at the beginning, you mentioned that it's based on your SLOs or Service Level Objectives. And just wanted to know if you could distinguish or differentiate for our listeners, what's the difference between an SLO and an SLA?   Daniel stated that that's a great question. So, an SLA is typically an agreement that you have with your users. You say you'll be able to use my product or my service xx percent of the time. And that's more of a contractual conversation than it is, a reliability conversation. When you start actually building it, in order to make sure that you're achieving this SLA that you've agreed upon with your clients, you've got to make sure that you know all of these different elements of their experience are operating at a certain efficiency. So, he hates to over complicate things, but there's actually a step in between called an SLI, a Service Level Indicator.  And so, a Service Level Indicator is things like, “I want my website to load in less than 100 milliseconds.” That's a Service Level Indicator. And the SLI is effectively a consistent goal, but then what you do with SLOs is you take that a little bit further.   So, an SLO operates within what's called an error budget, and you get a certain number of errors per month, per week, however, you want to set it up. And an error is when you don't meet that SLI and you say, “I know that it's maybe not impossible, but either improbable or just extremely expensive to make my website load in less than 100 seconds every single time.”  So, what an SLO does is it says, okay, I expect to meet this SLI however often I have decided is actually impactful on the customer experience, and whenever I don't, you get an error, and at that point, you're like, okay, it's an error, but an error is not an outage.  Daniel stated that he doesn't know if he's explaining this really well, but basically if you look at an SLO graph, it's going to be going down into the right and that is your budget. You say, okay, I expect this part of my service will meet my everyday life 95% of the time. And then you see the little graph going down, which, every time it doesn't meet that, it froze an error, and a certain amount of errors, it's just part of digital product development is understanding that you have to accept some errors. 100% perfection, it's impossible.    Me: Does not exist.   Daniel agreed, it does not exist. And a lot of people think about reliability in the number of nines, “My product is available 99.99% of the time.” That would be called four nines. Every nine that you add to that number basically increases your IT costs by an order of magnitude. So, at a certain point, you got to understand with SLOs are really the ideal way to do it.  At what point does this actually impact my customers? At what point does this actually impact my users?  It allows you to be strategic, and it allows you to see things when they begin. So, you mentioned outages earlier, an outage, your whole product crashes, it's unavailable to anybody. Those don't happen in a vacuum, there's something that causes them. And if you've got an SLO or a set of SLOs really, displaying the health of your service, the health of your product, you're suddenly going to see a bunch of errors coming in.  And you may or may not have enough forewarning to say, “Oh, crap, we're about to have an outage. Well, this server in my cloud provider is having massive latency issues, it looks like the server is about to crash, and that's going to take everything down.” You can have a little bit more of a runway to try and identify the actual issue behind a potential outage. And that's where you strategically define how much, how many errors can I tolerate in a month?  And then you basically have a real time view at all times.  Is my product, is my service running the way I expect it to, and the way I expect it to is from the perspective of the customer. Are my customers able to do what they expect to be able to do when they launch my app, or when they use my product.   App, Website or Tool that Daniel Absolutely Can't Live Without in His Business When asked about online resource that he can't live without in his business, Daniel shared that personally, it's HubSpot. He spent a few years as a HubSpot consultant, a third-party consultant for HubSpot integrations. And he could say a marketing automation platform, but he got a fanboy a little bit about HubSpot because it takes everything that used to be complicated about sales and marketing and customer support and customer experience, and kind of rolls it up. You've got your CRM, you've got your automation platform, you've got your email platform. He's actually taken to feeding his HubSpot metrics into Nobl9 SLO lately, because there's so much rich data within HubSpot.  And he's been running little things like, they'll change a script for their biz dev team. And then they'll just run a metric on calls connected to calls having a success, either a demo or a follow up request.  And HubSpot's got such great data, and then he can turn that into an SLO where he can say, “Okay, I expect the submission rate on my forms to be X percent. I expect the completion rate of our inside sales calls to be X percent over 80% of the time.”  And he can run that in an SLO, he can see that like if he changes something, but simple little things, if he changes the colour of the submit button on a form, he can see in real time what the view to submission rate is that's changing, and he can act on that. He can put a little note in the SLO with that time stamp and say, “Hey, I changed the color of this button” and see how that's making an impact. Or, if he looks in HubSpot and see, “Oh, crap, my submission rate has been terrible for the past 36 hours, what's happened?” And he can go into his SLO and say, “Oh, there's a little note here, I changed something in the UX. I changed something colour wise. I added a question, I removed a question.” And you see direct historical cause for that.  But going back to HubSpot in general, he really respects HubSpot's approach to they call it the flywheel, which is all about delighting customers and delighting prospects.  And they really do a great job of giving you the tools to actually give value in your marketing and sales and customer service processes. He doesn't know what he's do without HubSpot right now, he'd probably try and hack something together with Salesforce and Marketo and be more complicated and less easy to get adoption internally. But luckily, he doesn't need to.    Where can listeners find Daniel online? LinkedIn – Nobl9inc X – @nobl9inc   Quote or Saying that During Times of Adversity Daniel Uses When asked about a quote or saying that he tends to revert, Daniel shared, “Nothing is a failure unless you fail to learn from it.” He stated that he's got a great team that he works with at Nobl9. And some are early in their career, some have been working in marketing for several years, some have advanced degrees, some don't.  And so, he's been with Nobl9 since January, and one of the things that he wanted to do quickly was make sure that people were comfortable making mistakes and understanding that an action and its outcome is not the end of that process. If you don't learn from it, why it worked, why it didn't, then you've made a mistake. But failure is as important an element in driving success in any business scenario. So, he likes making sure that people know that, and he likes making sure that they feel comfortable, because without being comfortable with failure, how are you going to try anything revolutionary?   Me: True. Thank you so much for sharing, Daniel.   Now, we just like to thank you so much for hopping on this podcast and sharing all of the great insights about Nobl9, the wonderful work that your team is doing as it relates to ensuring that customers are having a more seamless and frictionless experience across these platforms and increases the reliability. And we really appreciate some of the great nuggets that you shared with us as it relates to what is a Service Level Objective versus a Service Level Agreement and a Service Level Indicator, great information to learn, to understand the whole process, because in order to navigate the customer experience, there is really a lot that you have to take into account to ensure that the customer walks away feeling like, yeah, that was that was fun, it was easy, it wasn't hard, and I was able to do it really quickly.
