Everyone wants to be in a category of one.   But until analysts acknowledge it, customers search for it, and competitors show up, it's not quite a category—more a call you made before the market did. Creating one means walking a line between leading the story and waiting for the market to catch up. In this episode, Drew Neisser is joined by Bernd Leger of Cornerstone OnDemand, Charles Groome of Biz2Credit, and Jakki Geiger to share their insights into building a category from scratch. In this episode: Bernd shares how Cornerstone moved beyond LMS into “workforce agility,” backed by acquisitions, analyst engagement, and full-team alignment.  Charles explains how Biz2Credit is carving out a new lane in FinTech by naming the problem and using familiar language to build demand.  Jakki outlines what separates true category creation from disruption, and why team-wide clarity is the hidden work that drives both.  Plus:  Why a real customer problem should shape your category narrative  How to bring analysts in without losing control of the story  What it takes to bring your team along when the category doesn't exist yet Tune in to learn how category creation starts, builds, and earns its place in the market!  For full show notes and transcripts, visit https://renegademarketing.com/podcasts/ To learn more about CMO Huddles, visit https://cmohuddles.com/

Welcome back, Moneda Moves community. Following an eventful start to this week in news, we have another amazing journalist on the podcast, Cora Cervantes, who spoke with Latinos all last year leading up to the election which landed Trump in office. She's here to share what she heard on the ground from Latinos, many of who are business owners, and their biggest concerns they want to see addressed – inclusive of economic issues.  And before we dive in, we would be remiss to not acknowledge the way our Latino communities (plural) will be disproportionately targeted ahead of mass deportations set to start this week. As a platform that stands behind first builders, rewriting our narratives that exemplify our collective force, and tools for empowerment – we acknowledge how damaging the combination of rhetoric and actions on behalf of the new administration can and will be. During this time, we will be leaning into our personal community on the ground. We've also found Eliza Orlins, New York City public defender, and her explainers particularly helpful as of late. As you know, this season we're focusing on 2025 economic trends, how they affect our entrepreneurial community, and how our community will move the American economy. We have a memorable lineup for you and can't wait to share the information and resources we're producing this season. As many of us know, 2024 was a tough year for small businesses. Average revenue was up, but so were expenses, according to Biz2Credit. Breaking down the numbers and net-net, profits were down: average monthly earnings for small businesses in the first 11 months of 2024 was about $86,000 - more than $60,000 lower than in 2023. Some entrepreneurs found themselves in the red in some cases, as this week's guest independent journalist Cora reported. When interviewing working-class Latinos about their businesses in 2024, she found that people were struggling to keep up with the current economic climate, let alone improve their economic standing. It can also explain why Latinos voted with the economy among their top concerns. This week's guest, Cora, is an independent journalist based in Los Angeles. She covers politics, immigration, climate change, and race and culture with an equity lens. She has a network television and cable news production background at NBC News and MSNBC. She has produced digital stories for multimedia outlets, including NBC News, Al-Jazeera, Latino USA, palabra, High Country News, and Narratively. Cora is a graduate of Columbia University and holds a Master's degree from New York University's Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute. She currently serves as a board member of NAHJ's Los Angeles Chapter. Cora spent much of 2024 speaking with working-class Latinos about their businesses and how they perceive the economic environment in the United States. Small business owners are holding out hope that the economy will improve. But with the rising cost of goods eating away at their profits, they're eager for change. As a result, in the 2024 election, several sources she spoke with voted with the hope that the new president would improve the economy and protect their businesses. In this week's episode, we sit down with Cora to talk about what she learned while covering Latino business owners and their votes, as well as the coverage we can expect to see more of within the Latino community in 2025. We're discussing everything from why some Latinos voted the way they did to how stricter immigration policies could affect our day-to-day lives. The Latino community is incredibly diverse, and our reasons for what we do and who we vote for are layered. By having boots on the ground via journalists who speak with working-class business owners, we gain a better understanding of what they're experiencing and why. No te lo quieres perder.

Brett opens up by defining what credit cards are, then he gets into the pros and cons of credit cards. The main pros are travel insurance, consumer protection, and rewards. The main con is the high interest rate and propensity for people to spend money they don't have, the “poison” of personal finance, if you will. Both Brett and Lauren are using 0% credit cards right now to carry balances, but they arenusing these responsibly and will pay them off before the interest hits. Credit cards are like fireworks. If you play with them responsibly, you'll get a beautiful show. If not, they'll blow up in your face. How do you know which cards are best? It depends on what you're looking for: cash rewards or travel ones. Lauren asked about annual fees, and Brett point out that you can get more value than the annual fee in most cases. Then, Brett casually drops into the conversation that he has had over 100 credit cards since he was 18, 13 years ago. Right now, he's using his Chase Sapphire for everything, including a rental car recently in Denver. When a hailstorm rolled through, the damage was covered by the credit card! How does having so many cards affect your credit? It turns out it's not too serious of an impact, usually 5-7 points. Lauren then asks about how credit card limits work. Interestingly, Brett points out that you can transfer credit lines to different cards with the same provider. Lauren asks Brett to explain how credit card companies make money if they're able to give Brett all these rewards! They make money on interest, late fees, and processing fees as well. Lauren then shares a consumer protection win of her own. Brett closes by reminding people that they're using their credit card every day. They should analyze whether they're actually using the right one. About Brett: Brett Holzhauer is a self-proclaimed personal finance nerd. He currently works at Biz2Credit wherehe is a Senior Writer. Before that, he was a personal finance reporter at CNBC and Forbes. Along the way, he has been on his own financial journey. Hesuccessfully paid off $80,000 in student loan debt, while buying his first home in South Florida in 2022, bought his first investment property in 2023, and is currently under contract for his second investment property. When he isn't money nerd-ing, he is watching college football or getting tan at the beach.

The finance ministry is currently exploring the prospect of enabling financial institutions to raise capital through blended finance instruments.  Blended financing is a strategy that combines development finance with private sector investments to generate more funding for emerging markets and developing countries. In this podcast, businessline's Nabodita Ganguly speaks to Rohit Arora, CEO and Co-founder of Biz2Credit & Biz2X. They discuss the concept of blended financing and its implications for sustainable development and the energy sector.    Rohit explains that blended financing aims to provide capital at a lower cost and with different structures to support development projects in countries that lack sufficient local capital. By leveraging private sector investments and implementing credit guarantee programs, emerging markets can attract more funding and create deeper local capital markets.  The conversation also highlights the relationship between blended financing and sustainable development goals. Blended finance plays a crucial role in financing infrastructure projects, such as electric vehicles (EVs) and green energy initiatives, which require significant upfront investments. The discussion emphasizes the need for long-term, affordable capital to support the development of clean energy infrastructure and technologies.  They further discuss the importance of blended financing in decarbonizing the energy sector. It is emphasized that without blended financing, countries like India cannot kickstart the clean energy sector due to the massive upfront investments required. Blended financing enables impactful projects by fostering partnerships between the public and private sectors, multilateral agencies, and long-term investors like insurance companies.  The popularity of blended financing is growing worldwide, with various countries showing interest in adopting this approach. Countries like the United States and the European Union are exploring blended financing options to accelerate the transition to clean energy. In India, the government's proposal for blended financing aims to support the decarbonization of the country's energy sector, which is heavily reliant on fossil fuels.  However, there are potential challenges associated with blended financing. Oxfam's report raises concerns about preferential treatment given to donors' own private sector firms, which may undermine the effectiveness of blended financing. Overreliance on contractors from donor countries can lead to suboptimal project outcomes and cost overruns.  Despite these challenges, blended financing is crucial for bridging the gap between developed and developing countries. It enables access to affordable capital for sustainable development initiatives, stimulates economic growth, and promotes the adoption of clean energy technologies. While the gap between developed and developing countries may persist, blended financing offers a pathway to address it by attracting investments and fostering partnerships that drive sustainable development.

In the 12th episode of ABF Journal's COVID-19-focused podcast series, Rohit Arora, CEO of Biz2Credit, provided his perspective on small business lending during the first five months of 2020, including the drastic decline in April and the marginal increase in May. Arora explained that the supply is there and that lenders are looking to deploy capital, but that slowed demand has led to large decreases in lending. He outlined how the Paycheck Protection Program has been a “game changer” and how small businesses have quickly become accustomed to digital offerings, which will force a “paradigm shift” in the lending space. Arora warned that big banks and alternative lenders may struggle in the coming months while small banks find a bit more success. However, he advised all institutions to become nimble, cut fixed costs and invest in technology to ensure a quicker rebound, even if he doesn't expect full recovery until 2021.
