KB & DJ are BACK and kick things off with a discussion about the NLL CBA and how nothing has been agreed to yet. They also draw some comparisons to the ongoing WNBA CBA negotiations. Then they dive into the Rob Hellyer trade and why it's not as much of a "fleecing" as some have made it out to be. Then they boys take on a new exercise as they take part in the 2019 PLL Revisionist Redraft and they each redraft the entire 2019 PLL Draft, including Ryder Garnsey, and determine what they think each team would do in 2019 with all the info we know now about the 25 players.Voicemails: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠speakpipe.com/OTBLaxPod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support our partners!Rita's Italian Ice & Custard of Sewell, NJ:Visit Rita's in Sewell, NJ at 288 Egg Harbor Road and enjoy the best Italian ice, cream ice, custard, and more all season long!

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Ever wonder why some brand podcasts blow up while others die after five episodes? Or why a few companies seem to build die-hard fans while other can't seem to connect? Today's guest specializes in helping brands create podcasts that deliver true value. He explains how brands can use podcasting to build real connection, not just rack up downloads. From breaking up with the traditional ad world to creating top-ranked shows for global brands, he reveals why consistency, authenticity, and a bit of weirdness might be your secret weapons. Roger Nairn is the Co-Founder and CEO of JAR Podcast Solutions, a brand podcast agency based in Vancouver, BC. With a 25-person team, Roger helps brands like Amazon and Sage create shows that connect deeply with their audiences. After spending over two decades in the advertising world at top agencies like DDB and Cossette, he's now on a mission to show companies that the real ROI of podcasting isn't downloads, it's attention and connection. In this episode, we'll discuss: What brands really want in a podcast. Why consistency beats quick wins. Audiences prefer audio podcasts over video ones. Why is that?

From Ad Exec to Agency Founder Before podcasting, Roger spent more than 22 years in the traditional advertising world and loved the culture, but he noticed the industry shifting. Programmatic ads were taking over, budgets were shrinking, and the whole game was turning into a race to the bottom. Around the same time, Roger started podcasting as a hobby, mainly as an excuse to talk to people he admired like Seth Godin and Stefan Sagmeister. When he eventually connected with his co-founders, they realized there was a wide-open opportunity for brands to use podcasts in a smarter way. JAR Podcast Solutions was born. The idea wasn't just to launch shows, but to help brands understand their audiences and create the kind of binge-worthy audio content that builds trust over time. What Brands Really Want in a Podcast One of Roger's first steps was sending out message to ten different businesses on LinkedIn. The second response he received referred him to the head of marketing of Sage, a brand whose audience wanted to explore wellness beyond traditional medicine. A few days later they sat down to discuss what a podcast could look like for that brand and ended up creating Well Now, a show about taking control of your health through alternative approaches and powerful personal stories. The show took off, so much so that it briefly outranked Oprah in Apple's health and wellness category. The key wasn't just producing episodes, it was research. Roger's team uncovered what Sage's audience really wanted and built the podcast around those needs. This is true for every brand wanting to launch a podcast: stop creating content for yourself, and start with what your audience actually cares about. Consistency Beats Quick Wins Contrary to what many think, podcasting is not an overnight growth hack. Too many brands think they'll see results instantly. The reality is building an audience takes time. The good news is that, according to Roger, the podcast industry remains incredibly friendly and willing to collaborate, which is a great way reach new audiences. Other important steps to grow include pitching your show to big platforms like Apple Podcasts and getting them to feature it, as well as the actual merchandizing of the show. All of this, however, will amount to nothing without the most important element: consistency. If you want to stay consistent, do not compare yourself with the big players out there. This is the biggest enemy of consistency and will only lead to frustration. Don't expect to be the next Joe Rogan in year one or you'll end up disappointed and unmotivated to keep posting. Instead of focusing on vanity metrics like downloads, Roger recommends focusing on consumption. Without a doubt, creating a podcast might be the single most important things you can do to build your brand. If your listeners are spending two hours a month with the brand, that's two hours of intimate attention—something no other marketing channel can match. Why Audio Wins Over Video While many companies want both video and audio, audio tends to outperform. According to Roger, this happens because listening to a podcast is intimate. It's you in someone's ear while they drive, work out, or walk the dog. It's “me time,” not multitasking. Compare that to video, where distractions are constant and attention spans are short. Unless you're a celebrity like the Kelce brothers or Joe Rogan, most people aren't going to watch two talking heads for hours. They'll sample a short video clip, but they'll actually consume the full conversation in audio. The portability of podcasts makes them an executive's favorite medium, because you can take them anywhere, from the car to the gym to the airport lounge. In fact, new research shows that people will switch how they're watching throughout the day. They may start watching it on their TV and later switch to audio while they're at the gym. The Real Secret: Authenticity Over Perfection Beyond consistency, Roger emphasized that the best podcasts bring personality and vulnerability to the table. Listeners don't want a polished corporate message. They want the real you with flaws, mistakes, and all. Listeners often recall personal details Jason's mentioned on the show, like anecdotes about Aspen. That intimacy is what makes podcasts such a powerful trust-building tool. The trick is to stop trying to sound like someone else. Early on, stop trying to be the next Gary Vee and see how much better authenticity works with the audience. As long as you're being yourself and keep consistent with posting, you can become that reliable friend that is now part of their routine and consistently delivers value to them. Once they're loyal listeners who trust you, joining your community - or even buying from you - becomes a natural next step. The Weird Side of Podcasting Of course, every podcaster has their weird stories. For his part, Roger recalled recording with a guest who had to set up shop in a hotel closet, surrounded by pillows and blankets, just to dampen the echo. Not glamorous, but it worked. Jason has also recorded a podcast at a hotel room, when right after a speaking event he was approached by two attendees who said they inspired him to start their own podcast and would go buy the equipment right that moment and wanted him to be their first guest. They saw the opportunity and took it. This is the reality of podcasting: it's not about perfection, it's about connection. If you're waiting for the perfect studio setup or production conditions, you'll never start. Get scrappy, launch, and let the consistency carry you forward.

A masterpiece doesn't have to be simple. Sometimes the most powerful stories emerge from complexity, cohesion, and staying power.That's the lesson of Picasso's Guernica, a chaotic painting that, when viewed as a whole, tells a timeless story. In this episode, we explore its marketing lessons with the help of our special guest Jerome Stewart, Chief Marketing Officer at Conviva.Together, we uncover what B2B marketers can learn from building campaigns with a unifying story, turning complexity into an advantage, and creating content designed to resonate long after launch.About our guest, Jerome StewartJerome Stewart is the Chief Marketing Officer at Conviva. He is a dynamic and people-driven marketing executive with a proven track record of building high-performing teams, elevating brand visibility, and driving revenue growth in early-stage and industry-leading technology companies. Jerome is an experienced global leader with six years of international business experience outside the USA, as well as an accomplished Amazon bestselling author.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Guernica:Campaigns need a unifying story. Guernica shows how fragmented, chaotic elements can form one powerful story. Jerome says, “Each one of those [individual pictures] stands out, but when you take a step back and you look at it in its entirety. Indeed, there is a cohesive story.” Marketing works the same way; every asset matters, but true impact comes when the pieces connect into a bigger, memorable narrative.Complexity can be an advantage. At first glance, Guernica looks disorganized and overwhelming. However, his chaotic canvas still communicates a clear message. Jerome points out, “Maybe some people look at a more modern artistic style… and you can say, ‘Hey, this just looks really messy.' But as I say, dig in a little bit deeper and you see there's a very rich story.” In marketing, don't be afraid of layered stories. Campaigns that invite discovery can spark deeper connection and longer attention.Strive for timeless content. Picasso's painting still sparks reflection nearly a century later. Jerome connects this to marketing: “We're trying to tell stories and we're trying to come up with stories that stand out and that maybe stand the test of time. That will resonate into the future.” Campaigns should be built with staying power, not just to make noise at launch but to linger and influence long after.Quote“A bar  to hold ourselves against is did we tell a story? Was it clear? And something else that Picasso did brilliantly well, he took something as complex as war, and he didn't simplify it in any way. He did something cohesive. [We have to]  challenge ourselves to do the best that we possibly can to tell those stories.”Time Stamps[00:55] Meet Jerome Stewart, Chief Marketing Officer at Conviva[01:34] Why Guernica?[06:57] Visiting Guernica and Its Impact[14:58] Role as CMO at Conviva[16:45] Understanding Guernica[28:08] B2B Marketing Takeaways from Guernica[35:31] Marketing Insights and Strategies[42:27] Advice for CMOs[44:53] Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Jerome on LinkedInLearn more about ConvivaAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

Jennifer Ann Johnson's favorite business book that has helped her the most is “Begin With We” by Kyle McDowell.

When identical twins Mike and Alex Faherty launched their clothing brand, they made a daring move– launching wholesale, retail, and online, pretty much at the same time. Investors said it was outdated, maybe even doomed.But that contrarian bet helped grow Faherty into a hugely popular brand, built on family, ingenuity, and obsession with detail.The two brothers spent 12 years preparing for launch—Mike at Ralph Lauren learning the craft of fashion, Alex in finance learning the mechanics of business. In the early days they traveled the country in a beach house on wheels, pulling over on the PCH to sell bathing suits and board shorts. Mike's designs—surf culture meets big-city chic—took hold online, in department stores, and even swanky boutiques in Japan, giving Faherty the momentum it needed to eventually grew to $250 million in sales. What You'll Learn:Why the “all channels” strategy (wholesale + retail + online) can actually be a competitive advantage.The power of 12 years of preparation prior to launch.How to leverage factory relationships and suppliers as true partners.Why old-school, in-person sales can be a killer marketing tool How family, trust, and resilience became a core advantage of the Faherty brand.Timestamps:(05:41) Mike discovers Bergdorf's, cashmere, and fashion inspiration as a teenager in NYC(08:19) Mike gets grief from his basketball teammates for studying fashion at Wash U(13:38) Mike lands a job at Ralph Lauren to learn fashion from the inside(21:28) The moment Alex's mentor tells him that starting a clothing brand is “the dumbest idea I've ever heard”(31:41) The brothers launch Faherty online from a borrowed apartment in Puerto Rico(35:00) Roaming the country in a mobile beach house that doubles as their first store(41:34) Early wins with specialty shops(59:14) The brand nearly runs out of money and gets rescued by a man from Nantucket (1:07:14) A Covid-era gamble that pays off in massive growth (1:15:04) How the identical-twin bond became a superpower for the brandFollow How I Built This:Instagram → @howibuiltthisX → @HowIBuiltThisFacebook → How I Built ThisFollow Guy Raz:Instagram → @guy.razYoutube → guy_razX → @guyrazSubstack → guyraz.substack.comWebsite → guyraz.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

So many entrepreneurs struggle to stand out because they sound like everyone else. They bury their message in jargon, chase every shiny object, or spread themselves too thin across platforms. The result? People tune out, engagement stalls, and the business that should be thriving ends up stuck. Attention is the currency of today's economy. And without a sharp, repeatable message, you won't earn it. So how do you cut through the noise and become the go-to voice your audience can't ignore?   In today's episode, Donald Miller and Kyle Reed talk with Codie Sanchez, the investor and entrepreneur behind Contrarian Thinking, who built a massive following by saying bold things clearly and consistently. Codie reveals how she frames problems in ways that demand attention, why repeating simple soundbites scales faster than constant novelty, and how her approach has made her a leading voice in business and investing.

About Monica Walls:Monica Walls is a people-powered powerhouse with a passport full of stories and a heart wired for human connection. From the boardrooms of Silicon Valley to the sidewalks of global cities, Monica has always led with purpose, whether as an HR exec orchestrating change or as a volunteer rolling up her sleeves at food drives and walk-a-thons.But the corporate grind couldn't contain her creative spirit for long. Fueled by her Croatian roots, wanderlust, and a splash of bold lipstick, Monica stepped into her next chapter as the founder of Keca's Usna: a lip color line where every shade has a soul. Tired of formulas that flaked or felt uncomfortably sticky, she mixed science with sentiment to craft lipsticks that stay put and feel like a hug for your lips.Keca's Usna isn't just makeup; it's a love letter to heritage, storytelling, and the magic of being unapologetically you. Every hue celebrates individuality, every tube is rooted in values, and every swipe is a reminder: beauty is personal, powerful, and meant to be shared. In this episode, Jennie Bellinger and Monica Walls discuss:Corporate Life to Entrepreneurial JourneyLip Color Brand with Personal HeritageBuilding a Team and Delegating TasksProduct Development ChallengesConfidence and Trusting Entrepreneurial Instincts Key Takeaways:Monica's journey demonstrates that personal frustration with existing products can spark innovative business ideas.Connecting products to personal heritage creates a powerful narrative that resonates with customers, and the Croatian roots of Keca's Usna and meaningful color names transform lip color from a simple cosmetic to a storytelling medium.Successful entrepreneurs recognize their limitations and strategically bring in specialized talent.Creating high-quality lip color involves complex formulation processes beyond simple color mixing, meaning that rigorous testing, ingredient selection, and understanding customer needs are critical to developing a standout cosmetic product.Embracing vulnerability and learning from experiences can transform initial uncertainties into powerful entrepreneurial strengths. "Your business ethics and your core values are what make you up as a person. And for me, those things are non-negotiable.” — Monica WallsConnect with Monica Walls:  Facebook Business Page: https://www.facebook.com/kecasusnaLinkedIn URL: https://www.linkedin.com/in/monicawalls/Instagram Business Link: https://www.instagram.com/kecasusna/ Link to Gift from Monica Walls:Use the code BADASS15 for 15% off your total order!No minimum required order, and can be combined with a 10% discount for your  first-time orderLink: https://kecasusna.com Connect with Jennie:Website: https://badassdirectsalesmastery.com/Email:  jennie@badassdirectsalesmastery.comFacebook personal page: https://facebook.com/jbellingerPLFacebook podcast page: http://facebook.com/BadassDirectSalesMasteryFacebook group for Badass Crew: https://facebook.com/groups/BadassDirectSalesMomsInstagram: https://instagram.com/BadassDirectSalesMasteryPersonal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedirectsalesdomme/LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/BadassDirectSalesMastery The Badass Direct Sales Mastery Podcast is currently sponsored by the following:Bella Grace Elixir: https://shopbellagrace.com/?ref=jenniebadassdirectsalesmasteryLeadBuddy Digital Marketing: Use code BDSM when checking out at https://leadbuddy.io/pro-monthly-9310?am_id=jennie582 Show Notes by Podcastologist: Hanz Jimuel Alvarez Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

It's safe to say Democrats are going through something of an identity crisis at the moment. They have no clear leaders, no driving issues, and no real power in Washington. And that makes the current government shutdown an interesting test case for Democratic leaders like Chuck Schumer over what they think their voters want and how best to fight Donald Trump.Our guest today, Democratic strategist Lis Smith, has not minced words when it comes to perceptions of her party.She told the New York Times that the Democratic brand was “in the toilet” and recently called for Democrats to “burn the party establishment down.”Smith, however, is not some upstart campaign disruptor. She's a veteran of twenty political campaigns, most recently as a senior adviser to Pete Buttigieg's 2020 presidential campaign.This makes her critique of the party and the work she's doing this cycle to try and fix it worth understanding and exploring more deeply.We recorded this conversation on Wednesday, October 7th.

This week, Mike steps “behind the scenes” with Graham Kuhn, the creative force behind Focus Films, whose life reads like a screenplay of transformation, grit, and passion. From the wrestling mats of small-town Wisconsin to the world's grand opera stages — and ultimately to the helm of his own film company — Graham's story proves that the path to success is rarely a straight line. When the pandemic hit days after launching his business, Graham faced what felt like the final curtain. Contracts vanished, plans unraveled — but instead of tapping out, he rewrote the script. Drawing on the resilience forged in wrestling and the discipline learned from decades on stage, he turned adversity into opportunity. Through community, mentorship, and a deep belief in the power of authentic storytelling, Graham brought Focus Films to life — and helped countless others tell stories that matter. Graham opens up about the fear of success, the magic that comes from genuine connection, and the courage it takes to stay true to yourself — even when the world is watching. From helping clients shine on camera to crafting stories that move hearts and minds, this conversation is all about transforming passion into purpose. IN THIS EPISODE: ➡️

In this episode of Superlative, host and aBlogtoWatch founder Ariel Adams sits down with Theodore de Turckheim, Chief Marketing Officer of Micromilspec. Together they explore how the Norwegian brand has evolved from creating bespoke timepieces for elite military squadrons to establishing itself as a serious contender in the modern luxury watch landscape. Theodore shares his unique path from the structured corporate culture of IWC Schaffhausen and Richemont to the creative freedom of a small, independent brand, reflecting on how agility and authenticity have fueled Micromilspec's growth. The conversation dives into the company's shift from tactical tool watches to broader lifestyle collections, the role of humor and storytelling in humanizing a watch brand, and why today's collectors value connection and transparency as much as precision and heritage. From the debut of the Milgraph at Geneva Watch Days to the brand's new ventures into extreme sports collaborations, Ariel and Theodore unpack what it means to build a bold, personality-driven brand in an industry often known for its formality, and how Micromilspec is proving that even serious watches can have a sense of humor.Keep up with Theodore and Micromilspec:- Website: https://www.micromilspec.com/ - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/micromilspec/ Check out this week's sponsor - Movado:- https://www.movado.com/ SUPERLATIVE IS NOW ON YOUTUBE!

A group of students at Roseburg Senior High School in Roseburg, Oregon staged a walkout because of the High School administration's allowance of a gender confused young man, that thinks he's a girl, to walk into the girls locker room. The administration is now threatening expulsion, cancelation of Homecoming, and more. We come from the root of a nation of rebels. These students are standing on moral ground and are upholding the root what makes America great. As one of the most influential sermons of the American colonial area, given by Jonathan Mayhew, reminds us... rulers who act against the will of God forfeit their right to obedience, and citizens thus have a moral and Christian duty to resist such oppression. Be defiant. Be a rebel. Uphold God's moral law. #BardsFM_TheAmericanBrand #Liberty #DefyTyranny Bards Nation Health Store: www.bardsnationhealth.com BardsFM CAP, Celebrating 50 Million Downloads: https://ambitiousfaith.net Morning Intro Music Provided by Brian Kahanek: www.briankahanek.com MYPillow promo code: BARDS Go to https://www.mypillow.com/bards and use the promo code BARDS or...

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty digs into the choice to stop drinking—not from pressure, but from self-awareness, mental health, and intentional living. Founder Michelle Houston of To Be Honest Beverage Company breaks down the sober-curious movement, social dynamics of not drinking, and why flavor + function (including CBD, 0% THC) are redefining adult beverages. We cover anxiety, habit design, navigating pushback, and building a sophisticated alcohol-free ritual that doesn't sacrifice connection—or sleep. About the guest  : Michelle Houston is the founder of To Be Honest Beverage Company, a U.S.-based brand creating mindful, non-alcoholic functional spirits designed for sophisticated, cocktail-like experiences—without alcohol or THC. Her personal pause from alcohol to manage anxiety led to a purpose-driven product line focused on taste, calm, and presence.   Key takeaways: The real turning point: Anxiety and low-level depression exposed how alcohol was borrowing from tomorrow—hurting sleep, energy, and focus. Mindset shift: Don't make it about deprivation; add in enjoyable alcohol-free rituals to replace default drinking. Culture is changing: Not drinking is now a spectrum (Dry January, drink less, or 0%)—choose what fits your season. Social navigation: Lead with a simple, confident “I'm not drinking tonight.” You don't owe explanations; sharing your “why” can open real dialogue. Flavor + function win: Adults want taste and a subtle benefit; TBH uses CBD with 0% THC to support calm without intoxication. Design the environment: Align friends, home setup, and work habits to support your intention; remove default triggers. No hard ultimatums: Avoid rigid timelines (“never again”/“30 days or bust”); instead, practice mindful choice every time. Unexpected gift:Time—no more lost mornings, compromised workouts, or decision fatigue from hangovers.   Connect with the guest   Brand & socials:@ToBeHonestBev (all platforms) Website: https://www.tobehonestbev.com/ (U.S. distribution currently) DM: Message the brand accounts; Michelle will connect from there.   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?
