Understanding Wine: Austin Beeman's Interviews with Winemakers
Champagne fizz, cellar sounds, vineyard walks at Champagne Joël Falmet in Rouvre‑les‑Vignes. Every natural sound invites unintentional ASMR calm. Filmed on Joël's 6.5‑hectare family estate in Spring 2024. Herbicides and pesticides are shunned here. This quiet vignette of unintentional ASMR offers a rare, intimate listen to the craft of grower‑champagne. Champagne Joel Falmet: https://patrickallenselections.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Joel-Falmet-Champagne-LES-PARCELLES-Brut-NV.pdf THIS IS EPISODE 112 OF UNDERSTANDING WINE WITH AUSTIN BEEMAN http://www.austinbeeman.com/podcast WHAT IS ASMR? ASMR is essentially a made up acronym (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response ) used to describe that tingly / buzzing feeling you may have experienced in your head or running down your spine. The sensation can be triggered by personal attention, tutorials, sounds etc. If you are discovering "ASMR" videos for the first time, their primary purpose is just to relax and almost always to send the listener to sleep. (usually those are longer than this.) -- This one is just interesting sounds of a Champagne vineyard that I noticed when listening back on my footage.

In this episode, we meet with Tia and Sean Edwards, a couple whose journey began at a gas station and led to redefining the bourbon industry. Tia and Sean's Lexington-based distillery, Fresh Bourbon, is on a bold mission to make bourbon accessible to everyone. Their journey is not just about crafting a drink but about reclaiming ownership (a word that speaks volumes to us) in an industry that hasn't always been inclusive. We recorded this episode with Sean and Tia shortly after an interactive “build-your-own Old Fashioned” tasting experience, led by Nate Taylor, the VP of Brand Management at Fresh Bourbon. Throughout the episode, you'll hear the occasional clinking of glasses as Nate prepares Fresh Bourbon's stunning bar area for the next group of bourbon connoisseurs. If you haven't visited Fresh Bourbon yet, it's worth the trip.

In this special episode from the 2025 AHR Expo, Bryan brings us two fascinating conversations with industry leaders who are shaping the future of HVAC technology and tools. The episode kicks off with Tony Gonzalez from Fieldpiece celebrating their 35th anniversary. Tony shares his remarkable journey from packaging meters in the warehouse to his current leadership role, providing unique insights into the company's evolution. The discussion explores Fieldpiece's pioneering role in developing HVAC-specific testing equipment, particularly highlighting their groundbreaking HS26 meter that filled a crucial gap in the industry when no other company was creating specialized meters for HVAC technicians. The conversation with Tony delves deep into the technical aspects of modern HVAC work, particularly focusing on combustion analysis and its three fundamental pillars: safety, efficiency, and consistency. Tony explains how Fieldpiece's JobLink system has revolutionized the way technicians document their work and communicate with customers through comprehensive digital reporting. The discussion also covers the evolution of refrigerants and POE oils, emphasizing how practices that weren't considered critical in the past have become essential with modern systems and materials. In the second segment, Bryan sits down with Mike and Ashley from Refrigeration Technologies' Viper division, where they share the compelling origin story of their company. Mike recounts how his father, John Pastorello, a chemist who found himself taking an AC technician job in the 1980s, leveraged his chemistry background to develop superior products, starting with their flagship product, Big Blu. The conversation highlights Refrigeration Technologies' impressive growth, including their recent expansion to a campus-like facility with an additional 30,000 square feet and their achievement of making the Inc. 5000 list for three consecutive years. Ashley, their Director of Education and Brand Management, discusses their innovative approach to industry engagement, including their first-ever "Viper Bowl" competition and their commitment to safety in product development. Key Topics Covered in This Episode: Fieldpiece's 35-year journey and the evolution of HVAC-specific testing equipment Modern combustion analysis fundamentals and the importance of proper testing The JobLink system and its impact on documentation and customer communication Evolution of refrigerants, POE oils, and critical installation practices Refrigeration Technologies' origin story and growth from a family business to an industry leader Development and innovation of essential HVAC chemicals and tools under the Viper brand The importance of safety in product formulation and application Global expansion and market reach in the HVAC industry Impact of modern technology on HVAC diagnostics and documentation Training approaches and industry education initiatives Company cultures focused on innovation and problem-solving The role of family businesses in advancing HVAC technology Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

Listen in or watch as host David Mandell sits down with medical marketing consultant Kristy LaGourgue and aesthetic nurse Rachel Varga to discuss branding and marketing lessons that all doctors can benefit from, whether they own their own practice or not. David begins the discussion by asking Kristy and Rachel the most common mistakes medical practices make with marketing and how to avoid them. They then chat about the importance of marketing when offering new services or equipment or even bringing on new doctors. The discussion then turns to branding – how an individual doctor can brand him/herself in the marketplace- which not only can be patient-focused, but also to other doctors, who are key referral sources –and even industry for further business opportunities. Finally, Kristy and Rachel speak to the use of social media and how doctors should approach getting started in marketing efforts. KEY TAKEAWAYS Takeaway #1: Having a Clear Marketing Strategy is More Effective Than Piecemeal Efforts. Piecing together different marketing tactics without a clear strategy can lead to poor results. Kristy points out that one common mistake practitioners make is trying “a little bit of this, a little bit of that, hoping something's going to stick.” Instead, she suggests that it's crucial to understand how different marketing activities work together to drive steady patient flow. Rachel supports this point, noting that practitioners often give up too soon or get in their own way due to imposter syndrome or feeling out of their comfort zone. She encourages practitioners to stick with their marketing efforts and to recognize the long-term benefits. “It's really getting also that validation and accolade from your colleagues in the space too, to then position you even further, which might open up the gates for different opportunities on boards and business development deals as well”. In essence, being strategic and consistent about marketing activities, rather than trying different tactics in a piecemeal manner, can lead to better results and open up new opportunities for practitioners. Takeaway #2: Diversifying Practice Offerings Can Lead to New Opportunities. With the rapidly evolving field of medical technology and treatments, diversifying practice offerings can open up new opportunities for physicians. For instance, adding new technologies or treatments to a practice can attract different types of patients, or even create new revenue streams. Rachel explains how one of her colleagues transformed his practice by incorporating group coaching and video training, thus creating a seven-figure business. She says, “So you just don't know what's possible until you start to go down this path.” She also mentions the increasing popularity of concierge medicine and biohacking, suggesting that practices that incorporate these elements are very appealing to buyers. Diversifying practice offerings can, therefore, not only bring in new patients and revenue streams but also increase the practice's value in case of a potential buyout. This diversification, coupled with a strong online presence and marketing strategy, can significantly enhance a practice's success and growth.

Set in 1898, Harriet Morrow is 21, supports her 16-year-old brother, and has been accepted as the first female detective at the Prescott Agency. She's given one week to find Agnes, maid to the wealthy Pearl Bartlett, who lives in one of the Prairie Street mansions on the south side of Chicago. Harriet, who prefers wearing men's shoes and hats and has no intention of ever getting married, immediately notices that Agnes has been taken, probably by force, from her attic apartment. Harriet visits Agnes's family and neighborhood and riding her trusty bicycle begins searching for clues across the city while grappling with someone in the agency who is trying to sabotage her. If she doesn't solve the case, she'll be booted from the agency, and Harriet Morrow can't let that happen in Rob Osler's charming novel, The Case of the Missing Maid (Kensington Books Publishing 2024). Rob Osler was born and raised in Boise, Idaho and earned a B.A. in Philosophy at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, WA. Soon after, he moved to Chicago and began a decade-long career as an advertising copywriter, creating television campaigns for Kellogg's and Tropicana, among others. After a transition to brand strategy and returning to school for an MBA at the University of Washington in Seattle, he spent two decades in senior roles at agencies and corporations in Seattle and San Francisco. Writing throughout, his focus was on business communications and brand strategy, with published articles in The Journal of Brand Management. Rob turned to fiction writing in his fifties. His first-ever publication was a short story, ANALOGUE, set in Seattle's tech industry, published in Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine.

Set in 1898, Harriet Morrow is 21, supports her 16-year-old brother, and has been accepted as the first female detective at the Prescott Agency. She's given one week to find Agnes, maid to the wealthy Pearl Bartlett, who lives in one of the Prairie Street mansions on the south side of Chicago. Harriet, who prefers wearing men's shoes and hats and has no intention of ever getting married, immediately notices that Agnes has been taken, probably by force, from her attic apartment. Harriet visits Agnes's family and neighborhood and riding her trusty bicycle begins searching for clues across the city while grappling with someone in the agency who is trying to sabotage her. If she doesn't solve the case, she'll be booted from the agency, and Harriet Morrow can't let that happen in Rob Osler's charming novel, The Case of the Missing Maid (Kensington Books Publishing 2024). Rob Osler was born and raised in Boise, Idaho and earned a B.A. in Philosophy at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, WA. Soon after, he moved to Chicago and began a decade-long career as an advertising copywriter, creating television campaigns for Kellogg's and Tropicana, among others. After a transition to brand strategy and returning to school for an MBA at the University of Washington in Seattle, he spent two decades in senior roles at agencies and corporations in Seattle and San Francisco. Writing throughout, his focus was on business communications and brand strategy, with published articles in The Journal of Brand Management. Rob turned to fiction writing in his fifties. His first-ever publication was a short story, ANALOGUE, set in Seattle's tech industry, published in Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine.

Hey everyone, it's Joe Fier from Hustle and Flowchart. Today, I'm thrilled to share insights from my recent chat with Gert Mellak, an expert in online reputation and SEO. Our conversation spanned everything from proactive brand management to the evolving impact of AI on SEO strategies. What's the Episode About? In this episode, Gert and I dive deep into the critical aspects of managing your online reputation and SEO. We discuss how essential it is to control your brand's narrative actively, ensuring consistency across all platforms. Gert shares a unique experiment with a fictional product, highlighting the importance of coherent information online. We also explore the role of AI in maintaining brand presence and the shifting dynamics of platforms like Reddit in affecting web traffic. Proactive Brand Management Gert stresses that, in today's digital world, online information is extensively accessible and can substantially impact perceptions. It's critical to take proactive steps in controlling your brand's narrative. Consistency in information across the web ensures that people get a clear, accurate picture of your brand. Simplicity in Brand Messaging Using the metaphor of educating algorithms like teaching a child, Gert emphasizes the need for simplicity and consistency in brand messaging. Simple, clear language makes it easier for search engines to understand and rank your brand effectively. This straightforwardness helps optimize your SEO efforts. Creating a Personal Brand Website Gert advises creating a personal brand website and interlinking it with your social media profiles to ensure consistency and enhance brand recognition. This central hub can serve as the anchor of your online presence, allowing you to control your information better and present a cohesive brand image. The Power of Consistent Information Gert shares an intriguing experiment where he created a fictional woodworking tool. Through consistent online information across various platforms, he observed significant changes in perceptions. This experiment underscores how critical it is to maintain consistency to shape public views effectively. AI Models Like ChatGPT and Brand Management The discussion touches on the predictive nature of AI language models like ChatGPT, which fill in gaps if information is sparse. Together, we explore how to use AI models to manage your online brand presence by ensuring accurate and consistent content updates. Gert also emphasizes that concise and coherent information helps improve brand representation over time. Managing Online Course Names A business struggled with discoverability because it didn't label its offering as a "course." Gert explains that search engines can't always make connections if keywords or identifiers are missing. Labeling your services clearly helps in better indexing and ranking, which is crucial for attracting the right audience. SEO and Content Structure Aligning your content structure with search engine guidelines is vital for better indexing and ranking. Gert uses the "connect the dots" analogy to describe how search engines work. Ensuring that each piece of content correctly fits together enhances the overall effectiveness of your SEO strategy. AI Evolution and Voice Assistants We discuss the rapid evolution of AI, especially the potential updates in ChatGPT and integration with voice assistants like Alexa and Google Assistant. Gert mentions that even Apple might integrate OpenAI technology into its Siri voice assistant. These advancements hint at a more interactive and pervasive AI presence in our daily lives. The Role of Platforms like Reddit Gert sheds light on the shift in user behavior towards platforms like Reddit, where Google has partnered to impact traffic to traditional websites. This partnership has led to significant declines in website traffic, highlighting the need for businesses to engage on platforms where users are active. Engagement Strategy and Platform Leverage Introducing “Platform Leverage,” Gert suggests engaging users on various platforms like Reddit and YouTube conversationally. Participating in discussions on well-ranking threads enhances brand visibility. This strategy mirrors traditional marketing engagement, akin to attending trade shows to directly reach clients. Using AI Tools and Custom GPTs Training AI models, like custom GPTs, to understand and replicate a brand's voice and style is a game-changer. Gert elaborates on creating bespoke GPTs for specific tasks, improving efficiency, and maintaining consistency. Recording and analyzing spoken inputs to inform AI training further help in capturing the brand's essence. Content Creation and Feedback Utilization We delve into utilizing customer feedback to create relevant content. Gert mentions receiving 400 customer reviews, which helped improve several website elements. This approach ensures that content and strategies remain customer-focused and effective.

In this episode of Revenue Rehab, Brandi and Liz dive into the power of research-driven marketing strategies. They'll uncover how understanding your target audience's behavior can lead to spending less while achieving significant revenue growth. Get ready to explore actionable tactics for developing a science-based marketing strategy that drives relevance and revenue. Bullet Points of Key Topics + Chapter Markers: Topic #1 The Importance of Market Research [04:18] “When you approach your marketing with that formula in mind, your strategy is gold,” Harr emphasizes, identifying the powerful impact of research-driven strategies. She states, “Research yields relevance, and relevance yields revenue.” This key insight shapes the way marketing leaders should understand the behavior and needs of their target audience, ensuring that marketing efforts are not just aimless shots in the dark but are strategically aimed at achieving the highest impact. Topic #2 Conducting Effective Behavioral Research [07:45] Liz Harr underscores the need for structured conversations with your ideal clients: “You need to understand what keeps them up at 4 AM,” she says. Harr elaborates, “What are your chief organizational challenges? What criteria are important to you as you're whittling down that list from like 10 to 5 companies?” This type of research, focusing on why customers choose or reject certain solutions, is essential for crafting relevant marketing messages that resonate deeply with the target audience. Topic #3 Efficiency in Marketing Spend [16:48] Harr shares a poignant case study: “Instead of promoting some salesy aspect…you're actually promoting a piece of content,” she recalls, detailing how a client slashed their budget in half by switching to content marketing from costly, ineffective paid ads. She concludes, “We wrote some content and brought visibility to these executive guides…yielding better results with less spend.” This illustrates that understanding the target audience and meeting their needs with insightful content is more effective and economical compared to traditional, broad-spectrum advertising. Buzzword Banishment Liz's Buzzword to Banish is “actionable insights.” Liz finds this term redundant and unnecessary, stating, “None of us have time for unactionable insights. We don't want unactionable insights. So just call it insights. That is what we mean. Let's just say what we mean.” So, What's the One Thing You Can Do Today? Liz's ‘One Thing' is to delve into your metrics to uncover the priorities for your marketing strategy. "Look at your metrics. Those are probably the truest measure of how you're performing. And I would look at things not, I mean revenue growth. That's all important. Those are the obvious ones. But I would take a look at some more granular ones. Trends such as your sales cycle, has it been lengthening or shrinking your win rate? What are the trends going on there? Your win loss intel? Why are you winning? Why are you losing? So I would look at some of those more granular metrics to tell you just how or to signal to you how prioritized should a reworking of your marketing strategy be and whether you need to invest in research now or six months from now or a year from now. I think the metrics are going to give you the answer."

Sisters Jackie and Jessica Rodriguez started working in the family restaurant business as teenagers. With time and hard work, they have grown into leadership positions in this successful multi-concept hospitality company in El Salvador. What started as a San Salvadorian bakery created by their grandparents, grew into a 20-unit chain under the leadership of their father. Sixteen years ago, the family jumped at the opportunity to purchase a small hotel and their concept diversification plan was underway… Today Grupo Lorena consists of Hotel Villa, 16 Lorena bakeries as well as Don Beto Cafe, Fontana Bar and Restaurant, and La Tartaleta. The family decided to become a franchisee of the Japanese seafood concept, Sushi Koi as a way of continuing its multi-concept expansion. "We believe it is important to pioneer concepts, becoming the first in the San Salvadorian market helps us create impact, further our growth and increase our brand value" says Jessica, who heads up Marketing and Brand Management. In this episode, we learn the distinction between a family operating restaurants and a restaurant business that happens to employ family members. Jackie, who leads operations, purchasing and Human Resources explains, "You don't simply get a position in the company because you are family…you must qualify and get selected based on education and experience." This is a story of successful concept development, profitable operations and strategic expansion by a family that has created a culture of responsibility, accountability and reward.
