With every board member and CEO demanding a generative AI strategy yesterday, how much of the conversation is about creating real business value versus simply not being left behind? Agility requires more than just speed; it demands a fundamental shift in how we approach problem-solving and storytelling, especially when a technology like AI re-writes the rulebook. Today, we're going to talk about the real tension that exists between the incredible promise of generative AI and the practical, often messy reality of enterprise adoption. We'll explore how to bridge the gap between deeply technical products and the clear, compelling narratives that actually convince customers and boards to invest. To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Sharon Argov, CMO at AI21 Labs.

What happens when artificial intelligence enters the arena of ethical hacking? Laurie Mercer, Senior Director of Solutions Engineering at HackerOne, joins Sean Martin for a look inside the ninth annual Hacker-Powered Security Report, where the headline is clear: the bionic hacker has arrived. HackerOne connects the global security research community with enterprises, open source projects, and major organizations, all working toward a shared mission of building a safer internet by finding, fixing, and rewarding the discovery of vulnerabilities.How is AI reshaping the bug bounty landscape? Mercer describes a dramatic shift unfolding on the HackerOne platform. For the first time, autonomous AI agents are operating alongside human researchers, growing from a single agent to more than ten competing on the leaderboard. At the same time, customers are driving change from the other side, with a 270% increase in organizations placing AI models within the scope of their bug bounty programs. The platform has paid out a record $81 million in bounty rewards over the past 12 months, with an average payout of roughly $1,000 per vulnerability, underscoring the sheer volume of valid findings flowing through the system.What makes these findings so significant? Of the reports submitted, 23,700 are rated critical or high severity, representing vulnerabilities capable of causing serious data breaches. HackerOne estimates these remediations have helped organizations avoid up to $3 billion in potential breach costs. The collectives participating on the platform range from venture-capital-backed startups building AI-powered offensive tools to informal groups of researchers pooling resources for greater efficiency. Mercer highlights three vulnerability categories that have surged over the past year: prompt injection, sensitive information exposure through large language models, and insecure plugin design. For any organization deploying AI-powered tools, these represent the most urgent areas to assess and secure.This is a Brand Highlight. A Brand Highlight is a ~5 minute introductory conversation designed to put a spotlight on the guest and their company.

In this episode of Hurdle, Emily sits down with Erika Gabrielli, the Vice President of Global Marketing at HOKA. Erika shares the story of HOKA’s meteoric rise from a niche ultra-running brand to a $2 billion global powerhouse. She delves into the importance of brand authenticity, the power of listening to the community, and why "maximalism" in footwear is about more than just aesthetics—it's about performance and comfort. Erika also opens up about her professional journey, offering tactical advice for those looking to break into the sports industry, the importance of trusting your intuition, and how she balances the demands of a high-profile executive role with being a mother. IN THIS EPISODE The Evolution of "Maximalism": Erika traces HOKA's journey from being "counter-culture" in a minimalist era to leading the industry with its focus on solving the problem of running downhills faster. Scaling with Soul: How the brand reached its $2 billion revenue milestone while maintaining core values like curiosity and inclusivity. Marketing via Experience: Why Erika believes experiential marketing is the most powerful tool for building emotional connections and lasting memories with consumers. Co-Creation over Control: Shifting the marketing narrative from "talking at people" to "world-building" alongside the running community. Career "Harmony": Erika's perspective on rejecting the myth of work-life balance in favor of finding a daily "harmony" that allows for both professional leadership and motherhood. QUOTABLE MOMENTS On Marketing & Community "It’s not about controlling the narrative ... it’s much more about embracing that idea of co-creation. It’s a shift from talking at people to being in a space where we’re doing more world-building." "In terms of greatest brand building, it comes from an experience because it evokes a memory ... that memory evokes emotion, and that’s what always is going to bring people back to a brand." "The work is never done. We can talk about ourselves all day long, but if it's not directly drawn to that consumer insight and how we're solving problems for them, it's not going to pass the bar." On Leadership & Intuition "The paranoid survive. You're always looking around corners to where there's opportunity but also where there's risk. Part of that to me is also tied to trusting your intuition." "It's not always the loudest voice in the room, it's not always the most senior voice in the room that is sharing the right paths or the right ideas." "The only person that's truly going to bet on you is you. Have the inner confidence to know that. You won't know until you try, and sometimes you won't know until you fail and you try again." On Life "Harmony" "I stopped looking for balance a few years ago. I think it's unrealistic. I switched my language into finding harmony. Harmony is about the acknowledgment that I’m not going to be perfect at all the roles I have to play, and that’s okay."

In this episode, I sit down with Stefana Avera, founder of Liaison the Label, to talk about building a multimillion-dollar activewear brand from scratch—with zero experience in fashion or manufacturing. Stefana shares the raw, unfiltered journey of bartending to afford $80 product samples, crying over failed prototypes 3 years into development, and the delusional confidence it took to keep going when no one believed in her vision. This isn't a story of overnight success. It's about slow, steady growth, building community before going viral, and trusting your gut even when you don't know the "equation." If you're thinking about starting a brand or just need a reminder that you don't need a perfect background to build something incredible, this episode is for you.

Clarity first. Strategy second. Book a free Biz Breakthru Call. What if your audience trusted you before you ever pitched an offer? In this episode of Money Magnet Mama, I'm joined by Mariana, Brand Video Strategist and Founder of BrandMagnetic, to talk about one of the most powerful (and overlooked) tools in online business: the brand video. This isn't a sales video. It's not a funnel. And it doesn't rely on pressure or pitching. Instead, it builds deep trust, emotional connection, and resonance—so your offers feel like an easy yes. In this episode, we cover: Why most lead magnets fail to create real trust How brand videos pre-sell your offers without pitching The four trust triggers that shorten the sales cycle Why human connection matters more than ever in the AI era Where brand videos fit inside your business ecosystem If you've ever felt like people follow you but don't convert—or that your content isn't fully communicating who you are—this conversation will shift how you think about marketing.
In this episode of the Open Bar Podcast, we sit down with JaNae Thomas — CEO of Glamorous Drinks and Blueprint CEO — to talk about building brands, protecting legacies, and creating unforgettable experiences through signature cocktails.
Send us a textEver watch a hometown brand go from “just another contractor” to a neighbor everyone knows by name? That's the journey we explore with Royal Air Systems, a second-generation HVAC company that faced a rebrand in the midst of loss and still found a way to earn real community trust. The shift didn't come from bigger ad budgets. It came from empathy, patience, and a bold choice to stand out with a nine-foot lion who turned events into brand touchpoints.We dig into the heart of the rebrand: how to honor a founder's legacy without freezing growth, how to modernize visuals while keeping the promise to “care for your castle,” and why timing matters when emotions are high. From there, we move into strategy: showing up at small-town events, creating your own invitations when none exist, and using community involvement as visibility without the hard sell. You'll hear the surprising first outing of “Reggie” the lion, how a front-page mention validated the bet, and why parents, kids, and even grandparents lined up for photos that turned into organic social reach.We also get practical about what didn't work and what to do next. Ticket giveaways fizzled, but the buzz still spread. The solution? Choose prizes with flexibility, track qualitative signals like recognition and repeated hellos, and accept that not every win shows up in dashboards. We talk brand assets—mascots, phrases like “royal treatment,” buttons on backpacks—and how these sticky symbols collapse the trust gap so people search for you by name rather than category.If you're weighing a rebrand, mascot, or community strategy, this conversation offers a clear, human playbook: respect your past, show up often, and make space for joy.

Some of the most powerful ideas in marketing don't come from marketing at all. They come from stories that refuse to play it safe.That's the lesson of Dune, the sci-fi epic once considered unfilmable and now one of the most successful franchises of the decade. In this episode, we break down its marketing lessons with the help of our special guest Madhav Bhandari, Head of Marketing at Storylane.Together, we explore what B2B marketers can learn from world-building, pattern interruptions, and betting on emerging talent.About our guest, Madhav BhandariMadhav Bhandari is the Head of Marketing at Storylane. He's a a B2B marketer with 12+ years of experience helping startups grow from scrappy beginnings ($2M+ ARR) to category leadership ($20M+ ARR and beyond). Madhav built lean, high-performing marketing engines across both PLG / sales-led companies. His strength and philosophy is doing marketing that stands out. I focus on work that drives action and ties directly to pipeline.Madhav has helped many scale-ups grow beyond $10M ARR, either as a full-time leader or a hands-on advisor. I love taking on this challenge.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Dune:Show the product, don't narrate it. Madhav's first lesson from Dune is about restraint. The film works because it removes exposition and lets the audience experience the world firsthand. He draws a direct parallel to B2B marketing, saying, “ You've seen the B2B website homepages that are just full of jargon. And I think now is the time to actually show the product.” Too many B2B teams rely on jargon, stock imagery, and abstract claims, forcing buyers to imagine value. The takeaway is simple: remove the guesswork. Interactive demos, real visuals, and tangible experiences outperform explanations every time. If buyers have to imagine what your product does, you've already added friction.Go where the work is unpopular but important. In Dune, the most valuable resource in the universe lives in the most unremarkable place. Madhav says, “ Unpopular but important projects, that's where the largest customer growth lies.” In marketing, that means resisting the pull of flashy homepage redesigns and brand exercises when the real leverage sits deeper, product pages, conversion paths, and messy parts of the funnel no one wants to own. If everyone wants to work on it, it's probably already optimized. The real upside lives where attention is scarce.Bet on emerging voices, not just famous ones. Dune didn't rely on a single A-list star to succeed, and Madhav has seen the same dynamic play out in B2B. His experience is clear: “ anytime I've gone with… a very popular influencer… that I interviewed, those episodes the way I thought they would perform, didn't really perform that well. Bu what's funny is that the people that are relatively unpopular but have done incredible work are the episodes that did fantastic.” Big names feel safe, but they're expensive and often underdeliver. Audiences respond more to sharp thinking and real experience than borrowed fame. In B2B, the fastest way to build trust is to help your audience discover someone worth listening to, before everyone else does.Quote“ Today, in our world, sameness is risky… The worst that could happen … is it's gonna perform the same as if you would've not done that, and the best case scenario is it's just gonna do insanely well.” Time Stamps[01:03] Meet Madhav Bhandari, Head of Marketing at Storylane01:08 Why Dune?01:51 Role of Head of Marketing at Storylane02:37 Breaking Down Dune10:53 B2B Marketing Takeaways from Dune25:18 Influencer Campaign Strategies28:28 The Power of Brand Awareness31:12 Storylane's Marketing Strategy35:08 Creative Marketing Examples38:37 Content Strategy and Founder Branding45:25 Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Madhav on LinkedInLearn more about StorylaneAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

In this episode, Ian sits down with JP Laqueur, SVP of Marketing & Culture at DataBank, to explore how brand, culture, and CEO-led thought leadership work together to create lasting differentiation in B2B.JP explains why DataBank prioritizes culture-first marketing, how involving the CEO in media and content unlocks disproportionate impact, and why disciplined PR often outperforms flashier tactics. The conversation also covers how marketing teams should think about video, written content, AI-driven discovery, and why human connection may become even more valuable in an AI-saturated world.Key Takeaways:Culture is a competitive moat competitors can't copy. Facilities and technology can be replicated, people and behaviors cannot.CEO-led storytelling scales trust. Thoughtful PR and executive content outperform most paid tactics when done consistently.Brand work compounds over time. Earned media, strong culture, and clear positioning reinforce each other across customers, employees, and investors.

We've spent years trying to make our chatbots sound more human, which is great. But what if the larger goal should have also been to make them as useful as possible while we're at it? Agility requires more than just adopting the latest technology; it demands a fundamental rethinking of customer engagement, moving from reactive responses to proactive problem-solving. Today, we're going to talk about the next evolution of AI in customer service. As more companies turn to automation to manage scale and efficiency, the real challenge isn't just implementing a chatbot; it's ensuring that technology actively solves problems and enhances the customer relationship, rather than just deflecting tickets.

From Ancient Egypt to Leibniz... Brand‑new interview out with Robert Spekkens of the Perimeter Institute, one of the sharpest minds working on quantum foundations. In 2004, he constructed a classical toy theory where your maximum knowledge is always incomplete—and out popped the no-cloning theorem, teleportation, and interference effects Feynman deemed impossible to reproduce classically. Spekkens compares our situation to Egyptian hieroglyphs before Champollion: a category mistake where we treat quantum states as descriptions of reality when they actually describe knowledge of reality.

Your product data wasn't built for AI agents. Here's why that's a problem. In the latest episode of RETHINK Retail's award-winning AiR (AI in Retail) podcast series, host Jamie Tenser sits down with @Anne-Claire Baschet, Chief Data & AI Officer at @Mirakl and a Top AI Leader recognized by RETHINK Retail, to explore the seismic shift happening in retail discovery right now.

The reality check: • 53 million shopping queries happen daily on ChatGPT alone • 60% of shoppers now use AI in their shopping journey • Traditional keyword optimization? It's no longer enough What retailers must do now: ✓ Product data & API infrastructure – Make your catalog AI-responsive, not just mobile-responsive ✓ Brand content & social proof – Build trust signals that AI agents recognize ✓ Pricing transparency – Show the real price (product + promo + tax + shipping) ✓ Fulfillment capabilities – Accurate stock and delivery promises matter more than ever ✓ Performance tracking – Test, learn, and optimize for agentic channels Anne-Claire's advice for 2026? "Experiment. The ones who win are going to be those whose products AI can actually find, understand, and recommend."

Jarred Taylor from Black Rifle Coffee is the second guest to sit down in the new studio, and we kicked this one off by talking about branding—what it actually takes to build something real, why most brands fail, and how hard it is to grow without losing the core of what made it work in the first place. From there, things went where they usually do. We broke down movies and TV through a tactical lens, talked about what Hollywood consistently gets wrong, and then spent some time on the "Wet Boys"—Jarred's online aviation squadron that flies simulated demos, builds digital airshows, and uses their downtime to antagonize the Air Force Thunderbirds on social media.

What if the biggest risk to your marketing AI strategy isn't the technology itself, but the org chart it's fracturing? Agility requires more than just speed; it demands a framework of trust and collaboration. When it comes to AI, this means your ability to innovate is directly tied to your ability to partner effectively across the organization, especially with IT and security. Today, we're going to talk about a critical tension point in the modern enterprise: Marketing is moving at the speed of AI, adopting powerful, often low-code tools to drive results. But this speed creates new complexities and risks, disrupting traditional roles and processes. Success is no longer just about having the best tech stack; it's about forging a strategic partnership between the CMO and IT leaders to balance innovation with governance, and productivity with security. To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Renu Upadhyay, Chief Marketing Officer at Omnissa.

Join me for an inspiring conversation with Shelly Garg, the founder of Wave Kids and a seasoned FDA attorney, as she shares her journey of creating the first kids' lifestyle and beverage brand focused on building better hydration habits. Shelly's passion for children's health shines through as she discusses her mission to provide a fun, trustworthy alternative to the sugary, artificial drinks that dominate the market. She offers profound insights into the "wave of change" she is spearheading, moving away from high-fructose corn syrup and hidden caffeine toward products that parents can feel good about and kids genuinely enjoy. Shelly explains how her background in food and drug law, combined with the raw reality of motherhood, fueled her desire to flip the traditional industry model on its head. Explore how Shelly is bringing magic to hydration through innovative, temperature-activated color-changing cans and playful artwork created by children themselves. She outlines the challenges of scaling a small business while remaining committed to accessibility, ensuring that healthy options aren't restricted by a family's socioeconomic status. Listen in as she discusses the future of Wave Kids, including plans to expand into national retail and introduce organic, fruit-flavored waters with natural electrolytes. The episode concludes with a poignant reflection on empowerment, where Shelly emphasizes the importance of living in alignment with one's values and the transformative power of choosing a bigger "why" for the sake of the next generation.

Amazon's 2026 Big Spring Sale dates are set. Sponsored Brands ads no longer need custom titles/creatives. TikTok Shop sellers react to the new shipping change. We're back with another episode of the Weekly Buzz with Helium 10's VP of Education and Strategy, Bradley Sutton. Every week, we cover the latest breaking news in the Amazon, TikTok Shop, Walmart, and E-commerce space, talk about Helium 10's newest features, and provide a training tip for the week for serious sellers of any level. Amazon quietly revealed the 2026 Big Spring Sale is back on March 25-31, shown inside Seller Central's Deals/Lightning Deals section, where some products are already being flagged as eligible. Sellers should start planning promos now—locking in Lightning Deals early or lining up Prime Exclusive Discounts ahead of the event. Exclusive: Some TikTok Shop sellers are pulling back as the platform moves to end independent shipping in the U.S. https://www.modernretail.co/operations/exclusive-some-tiktok-shop-sellers-are-pulling-back-as-the-platform-moves-to-end-independent-shipping-in-the-u-s/ This week's strategy shows how to uncover competitors' proven sales-driving keywords using Amazon-confirmed data in Helium 10's Brand Analytics (ABA Top Search Terms), not just estimates from Cerebro. Add competitor ASINs, choose high-spike weeks, and filter for more than 1% conversion share to reveal keywords Amazon verifies are converting. New Feature Alerts: Helium 10's TikTok Ads now adds automation rules for GMV Max so you can auto-add high-performing affiliate videos and remove underperformers (like a “negative match” for low ROAS). There's also a new Creative Insights page to track ad, affiliate, and authorized posts in one place and quickly move winning videos into campaigns. Helium 10's Keyword Tracker got a small facelift, and the Boost button is finally back to red instead of blue. Boost is the feature that checks rankings up to 24 times a day across rotating browsing scenarios to track organic and sponsored position.
