I had the pleasure of sitting down with Meredith Mills-Merritt, Founder of The Original Southside, and this was such a fun and refreshing conversation, literally.  From the very first sip of her canned cocktail, I was blown away by how crisp, light, and perfectly balanced it tasted. What really struck me, though, was how much heart and thoughtfulness went into every detail of this brand, from the family recipe it was inspired by to the intentional choice of organic, clean ingredients. Meredith's journey is one of resilience, creativity, and considerable grit. Coming from a background in the beauty industry, she made the leap into the ultra-competitive world of ready-to-drink cocktails, despite having no prior experience in the beverage industry.   What she did bring was a deep love of ingredients, a family gin recipe, and the determination to create something better than what was on the shelf. In our conversation, she shares the highs, the hurdles, and the very personal wins that keep her pushing forward. Here are a few highlights from the episode: * How a friend choosing Southside as her wedding drink became a powerful reminder of why Meredith started the brand   * The family recipe origins behind The Original Southside and how Meredith perfected it for the can   * Why being Whole Foods–compliant was a non-negotiable from day one   * The unique challenges of breaking into the alcohol industry's three-tier distribution system   * Meredith's go-to strategies for building awareness, from real-life tastings to word-of-mouth advocacy   Join me, Ramon Vela, as I listen to the episode and get inspired by Meredith's journey of turning a family recipe into a modern, better-for-you cocktail brand.

I had such a fascinating conversation with Oliva Landau, Co-founder & CEO of The Clear Cut.  What started as her passion for educating people about diamonds has evolved into a thriving modern brand that's revolutionizing the way couples shop for engagement rings. Oliva shared how she went from being a gemologist and content creator to running a direct-to-consumer company that blends education, transparency, and trust at the heart of every customer interaction. What struck me most was how The Clear Cut's growth has been fueled not just by beautiful diamonds but by storytelling, social media, and community building. Oliva pulled back the curtain on the early days, the challenges of scaling while staying true to her mission, and how she's shaping the next chapter of a category that's been slow to evolve. Here are some highlights from the episode: * How a side hustle Instagram account turned into a full-fledged business   * Why education and transparency are the keys to disrupting the diamond industry   * The role social media has played in building community and brand trust   * Challenges of scaling while maintaining personalization in the customer experience   * What's next for The Clear Cut as they continue to grow and innovate   Join me, Ramon Vela, as I listen to the episode and get inspired by Oliva's journey of turning her expertise and passion into a brand that's redefining the engagement ring experience.

Fly By Jing is one of the most exciting brands in food today, and we were lucky to have the company's founder, Jing Gao, return to the studio for a great conversation. We talk about the company's incredible trajectory, and how growth (and expansion into new product lines) comes with its own challenges. We also tap into what it's like to make chili crisps in China, and how the yo-yoing tariff dynamic is keeping the company on its toes. I have so much respect for what Jing is building at Fly By Jing.Also on the show we have a great conversation with Hailee Catalano and Chuck Cruz, recorded live at The Bell House.

In luxury resale, customer relationships can span decades as buyers become sellers and vice versa. Geronimo Chala, Chief Client Officer at Rebag, explains how the brand has evolved from a simple buyout model into a comprehensive lifestyle platform that prioritizes community over transactions. From developing membership models that grow customer funds by 27% annually to creating experiences where customers connect with each other rather than just the brand, Rebag's approach demonstrates the future of loyalty in an omnichannel world.Curating the Re-Sale LifecycleKey takeaways:Community over transactions: Rebag shifted from viewing customers as individual transactions to building "a sense of community" where customers feel they "own the company" through membership and engagement models. - Geronimo [08:30]No channel separation: "There really is no separation between e-commerce and the physical stores" because customers naturally move between digital and physical touchpoints in their shopping journey. - Geronimo [05:31]Person-first data collection: Rather than focusing on brands and colors, Rebag captures customers' "internal self, their core beliefs" and lifestyles to create meaningful connections before any transaction occurs. - Geronimo [17:44]Curated solutions, not overwhelming options: When you have too much to offer, "we have to first get to know that customer, collect that data from them to then evaluate" which services will be most impactful, like "a concierge" at a resort. - Geronimo [23:29]In-Show Mentions:Charles Gorra (CEO and Founder, Rebag)Elizabeth Lane (Chief Marketing Officer, Rebag)Partnership with Macy's Inc. and Bloomingdale'sAssociated Links:Learn more about EndearCheck out Future Commerce on YouTubeCheck out Future Commerce+ for exclusive content and save on merch and printSubscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce worldListen to our other episodes of Future CommerceHave any questions or comments about the show?

In a world full of polished content, authenticity is what truly cuts through.That's the secret behind Armchair Expert, the wildly popular podcast from Dax Shepard that mixes candid conversation with crowd-sourced chaos. In this episode, we unpack the marketing insights behind it with special guest Derek Weeks, Chief Marketing Officer at Katalon.Together, we explore what B2B marketers can learn from building real connections, inviting community participation, and letting go of perfection to create content people genuinely trust and engage with.About our guest, Derek WeeksDerek Weeks is the Chief Marketing Officer at Katalon. He is a driven, results-oriented CMO with a proven ability to achieve multiple successful exits, build and execute bold go-to-market strategies for each stage of business growth, and demonstrate solid returns on marketing investments. Accomplished at building high-performing teams, driving quality marketing-sourced pipeline, developing massive communities, and collaborating with sales teams to meet business targets.What B2B Companies Can Learn From the Armchair Expert Podcast:Vulnerability builds trust and attention. Derek Weeks emphasizes that Armchair Expert's standout quality is its authentic vulnerability, which creates a powerful emotional connection with listeners. He explains, “It's really about being human… It builds an emotional connection with your brand.” Derek draws a parallel to B2B marketing, highlighting that it's crucial to showcase real people behind the brand to forge trust.Mix long-form and short-form content strategically. Armchair Expert masterfully balances 90-minute conversations with short, snackable segments like Armchair Anonymous. Derek believes this dual-format approach is essential for B2B marketing: “That kind of mix of long and short is something that you have to play into as a marketer and realize your audience expects different things at different times.” He stresses that marketers must go deep when it matters, but also repurpose content aggressively to cater to varied audience behaviors, especially across platforms like TikTok.Empower community-generated content. Derek praises Armchair Expert for its use of community-driven content through Armchair Anonymous, where listeners share personal stories weekly. He says, “They really don't have to spend time creating content at all… believe in your community and the value that they create.” B2B marketers should harness their user-generated content to scale content creation far beyond the limits of a marketing budget.Quotes“ You have to think about what draws people to the next.  What did you do in that moment that got people to say, ‘This is worth following or paying attention to or coming back again?'  Figure out what's going to make people come back, not what makes people appear the first time.  The first time is kind of an easy win. The second time, or third time, or 10th time is the hard part.”Time Stamps[00:55]  Meet Derek Weeks, CMO at Katalon[01:23]  Why Armchair Expert?[03:01] Vulnerability and Trust in B2B[08:58]  Don't Build Campaigns, Build Conversations[13:37] The Long-Form to Short-Form Pipeline[19:05] Unfair Mindshare[21:47] What Armchair Expert Gets Right[24:01] Practical Ways to Bring Personality into B2B[27:38] Final Thoughts & TakeawaysLinksConnect with Derek on LinkedInLearn more about KatalonAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

When consumer trust is more fragile than ever, how can brands, particularly in highly scrutinized categories like infant nutrition, utilize the latest approaches to not only build trust but also deepen consumer relationships? Agility requires not only adapting to evolving consumer expectations and technological advancements but also maintaining ethical and transparent practices, especially when dealing with sensitive topics such as infant health. It also demands a willingness to experiment, learn, and iterate quickly in response to market feedback and emerging trends. Today, we're going to talk about building trust in a digital age, navigating the complexities of launching a purpose-driven CPG brand, and redefining what “healthy” means for a new generation of parents.

Starbucks was having a students going home issue and needed to keep selling coffee, so they copied and perfected as Seattle treat. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom-and-pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it's us. But we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients, so here's one of those. [Maven Roofing Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to the Empire Builders Podcast. I'm Dave Young alongside Stephen Semple. And man, this topic takes me back. I feel like in the early days of the Empire Builders Podcast, we talked a lot about coffee and coffee products. Stephen Semple: We did. We did. Dave Young: And today, you told me we're going to talk about Frappuccino. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: And my big question is is that a brand? Stephen Semple: No, it's a name. It's a product name. And it's actually owned by Starbucks. And yep, Starbucks, I looked this up, Dave, guess what episode Starbucks was? Guess how far back we got to go? Dave Young: I don't know, single digits? Stephen Semple: Yes, episode five. It's like four years ago we talked about Starbucks. Dave Young: And they own the word Frappuccino? Stephen Semple: They own the word Frappuccino. No one else can use the name. They didn't create it. And it's funny, when I learned this, I went, "No, no, no." Because Tim Hortons and things like that, they use Frappuccino. And then I noticed they don't. It's called things like frozen caps or frozen cappuccinos. No one actually uses the name Frappuccino, even though in my mind they did. Dave Young: I feel stupid. You don't hear why? Stephen Semple: Why is that? Dave Young: It's a portmanteau of frozen and cappuccino. I never figured that out before. Stephen Semple: Well, it's actually not quite that. Dave Young: Isn't it? Okay. Stephen Semple: No, it's going to be something a little bit more interesting. You're close, but it's a little bit more interesting than that. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: So it's kind of an interesting story, and it's a huge category in Starbucks. And in fact, when the idea was first introduced to Howard Schultz, he hated it. He was like, "No, we're not doing this. I'm a coffee purist. We're not doing this frozen drink thing with the star and all this other crap." But our story actually starts with the relocation of George Howell from Berkeley to Boston in the early-1970s. Because George is a real coffee nerd. I mean real coffee nerd. There's stories of George pulling into a diner and wanting to have a coffee and smelling the burnt coffee in the diner. And basically, he'll ask for a pot of hot water and he'll pull out his beans, pull out a coffee grinder, and his French press, and to start to make coffee. And people would gather around, like, "What the hell are you doing?" Dave Young: To show them how to make coffee. Stephen Semple: Yeah, exactly. Exactly. So it's the 1970s, and there's not much of a coffee culture yet in United States. But there was in Berkeley, which he just left. And Berkeley was kind of ground zero for the coffee culture in the United States. Dave Young: I see what you did there. Grounds, zero. Stephen Semple: I didn't even think about that. And he's moving to Boston. Now, ironically, Boston is kind of the starting point for coffee consumption in the United States, but it's really still not good coffee. George wanders the Boston area visiting literally every cafe and ordering coffee, and it's terrible. He tries all of them, and he's continually disappointed. And George not only misses coffee, but the culture of coffee,

When brand and product are treated as separate silos, user trust suffers. In this episode, Focus Lab CEO Bill Kenney and Max Q Co-Founder Lee Eisenbarth unpack what it means to build software experiences that feel cohesive—because they are.They explore how design systems, microcopy, onboarding flows, and even 404 pages can carry the weight of brand, not as decoration, but as the soul of the experience.

In the "Medicare Advantage Minute" segment:                                                       We enjoy a tutorial designed to help defeat the various methods companies use to avoid speaking with their customers.  In "Your Medicare Benefits" the subject concerns how Medicare would cover Opioid Use Disorder Treatment Services.  Brand new client Curt just had his Medicare supplement plan approved on July 4th. A few weeks later he received a job offer that included company-paid health insurance. What to do, what to do? Medicare maven Toni King is warning us about a new Medicare scam making the rounds. This one has to do with hospice care, which could be a little creepy. Finally, I try (and fail) to construct a quiz based on the states where nurse burnout is perceived to be highest and lowest.

In this episode of the Sunlight Tax podcast, I talk with Reggie Tidwell and Tim Scroggs, the founders of the design agency 40 Hearts. We dive into their journey as designers, explore the impact of AI on the creative industry, and discuss why community and branding matter so much during times of economic uncertainty. Our conversation highlights the need for genuine human connection and the enduring value of creativity in navigating challenges.   Also mentioned in today's episode:   02:52 Meet the Designers: Reggie Tidwell and Tim Scroggs 08:38 Creating Enduring Value in Design 11:58 Navigating Client Relationships and Brand Strategy 14:49 Building Confidence as a Designer 17:35 Embracing the Unknown in Creativity 23:55 AI and the Future of Design 29:56 Community and Connection in the Design World 32:36 The Impact of AI on Creativity and Humanity 41:19 The Importance of Intuition and Human Connection   Takeaways The design industry is evolving with the introduction of AI, but human creativity remains irreplaceable. Branding is essential for businesses, especially during economic uncertainty. Transitioning from a beginner to an expert designer involves gaining confidence and experience. AI should be viewed as a tool to enhance creativity, not a replacement for it. Isolation is a significant challenge for creatives, and community support is vital. Understanding client needs is crucial for effective branding and marketing strategies. Creativity thrives in environments that value human connection and collaboration. The future of design will require a blend of technology and human intuition.   If you enjoyed this episode, please rate, review and share it!

Only 40% of Fortune 500 marketing leaders actually hold the title Chief Marketing Officer. But average CMO tenure is now 4.3 years, up from last year. So is the CMO role really disappearing? New research from Spencer Stuart challenges the "CMO decline" narrative everyone loves to share. This week, Elena and Angela explore why this story gained traction, what effective marketing leadership looks like today, and how first-time CMOs can stay relevant. Plus, they share which brands they'd love to lead for one year. Topics covered: [01:00] Spencer Stuart's 2025 Fortune 500 CMO research findings[07:00] Only 40% of marketing leaders use the CMO title[10:00] Should CMOs handle roles beyond traditional marketing?[12:00] What effective marketing leadership looks like today[17:00] Biggest challenge facing first-time CMOs[22:00] How companies should treat the CMO role differently  To learn more, visit marketingarchitects.com/podcast or subscribe to our newsletter at marketingarchitects.com/newsletter.  Resources: 2025 Spencer Stuart Report: https://www.spencerstuart.com/research-and-insight/cmo-tenure-study-2025-the-evolution-of-marketing-leadership Get more research-backed marketing strategies by subscribing to The Marketing Architects on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts. 

In this episode, I'm sharing something I've been excited (and a little hesitant!) to bring to the podcast—an honest preview of the Your Brand of Beautiful Method: the 3-part framework I teach at retreats, sorority chapters, and conferences to help women stop spinning their wheels and start designing a life that actually feels like theirs. You'll hear how this method was shaped not only by my own personal journey, but also by the common threads I've seen across countless conversations—with podcast guests, audiences I've spoken to, and women from all walks of life. If you've ever felt stuck, lost in the noise, or like your life looks good on paper but doesn't quite feel like you—this one's for you. This is not the full keynote or workshop (you'll need to bring me to your community for that!), but I hope this episode serves as a powerful preview, a soft reset, or even a starting point. I walk through: Why busyness might be your biggest barrier to clarity How to quiet the noise—in your mind, schedule, and environment What it means to truly start being you If you love this episode and want to hear the full talk in person, head to www.bailiewhite.com or email me directly at hey@bailiewhite.com. I'd love to join you and your people. About Your Brand of Beautiful Host, Bailie White: Bailie White is a motivational speaker with nearly 10 years of entrepreneurial experience and a heart for serving, motivating, and encouraging women. After starting and scaling her first business — a luxury travel agency with a team of 15 women, a celebrity clientele, and multi-millions of dollars in annual sales — she sold the business after realizing what she once thought was her dream, didn't fully align with the woman she wanted to become. Today, Bailie is the host of the Your Brand of Beautiful Podcast (debuting on Apple's Top Charts) and a published author and speaker. Bailie facilitates workshops and delivers keynote speeches to college women, young professionals, and mamapreneurs. Bailie teaches these women how to Stop Being Busy, Quiet The Noise, and Start Being Them — she teaches them how to become Their Own Brand of Beautiful.

How do you go from a £500 startup to a £200 million brand?On this week's Screw It Just DO It, I speak to Juliet Barratt, co-founder of Grenade. If you've ever picked up a Carb Killa bar, you've seen the impact of brand, timing, and relentlessness in action. Juliet and her husband launched Grenade during a recession, built it into a market leader, and sold it to Mondelez for a nine-figure sum.But this isn't just another glossy success story.Juliet opens up about the toll of selling your business, what she'd do differently, and why founders need to be laser-focused on product, branding, and fit. She also shares hard-earned lessons about scaling with your partner, the value of mentorship, and what the real road to a global brand looks like. Whether you're building a business, preparing for a raise, or staring down an exit, this is the unfiltered version most founders never hear.Key TakeawaysBrand is everything. Distinctive packaging and positioning were critical to Grenade standing out in a saturated market.Timing matters. Launching during a recession forced focus and discipline, but also provided unexpected opportunities.The exit isn't always a win. Juliet opens up about regretting their early sale of equity and the emotional cost of parting with the brand.Founders must protect focus. Know when to bring in professionals, and stay close to what makes the brand work.Scaling with a partner is hard. Clear boundaries and mutual respect were vital to building Grenade as a husband-and-wife team.

From Dreamdata: "Things have changed over the last five years… and these are the core pillars you need to think about if you want to be successful as a company.Amidst intense budget scrutiny, disruptive AI, and failing lead-generation tactics, B2B marketers must overhaul their strategies to survive and grow by shifting focus from capturing existing demand to strategically creating it for the future.Speaking on a recent Attributed Podcast, Megan Bowen, CEO of Refine Labs, broke down the strategy that she believes is now essential for survival and growth.She argues that the "growth at all costs" era is definitively over, and in its place is a more sustainable, holistic go-to-market motion she calls the 'Brand. Demand. Expand.' framework. She explains the specifics of each pillar, including the key metric that makes brand performance measurable, a proven formula for reallocating ad spend, and strategies for turning existing customers into your best growth lever."

A CMO Confidential Interview with David Aaker, Vice Chair of Prophet, author of numerous marketing books including Aaker on Branding 2nd Edition, formerly a Haas School of Business Professor. David discusses the history of brand equity starting with the BCG model from the 90's and why that model and scanner data drove a short-term sales focus at the expense of brand equity. After years of progress, he believes we are now experiencing "A revival of short-termism." Key topics include: the differences between B2B and B2C brand building; the need for marketers to appreciate that brands aren't built in isolation; and how to break through in a hostile communications environment. Tune in to hear why he believes "There are easy ways for companies to build better brands," and case studies from Dove and Uniqlo. Brand value has been discussed for decades—so why isn't it a universally accepted business principle? In this episode of CMO Confidential, host Mike Linton sits down with branding legend David Aaker, Vice Chair at Prophet, author of 18 books, and widely regarded as the “Father of Modern Branding,” to unpack why the fight for brand equity is far from over.From the origins of brand equity in the 1990s to today's hostile marketing environment, Aaker shares insights on: • Why brand should be treated as a long-term asset, not a short-term tactic • How short-termism and performance marketing are eroding brand value • The difference between B2B and B2C brand management (and why organizational values matter more in B2B) • Examples of brands that have nailed disruptive innovation and purpose-driven branding (Dove, Uniqlo, Habitat for Humanity) • Why most companies are managing brands poorly in today's cluttered, skeptical media environment • How AI could democratize creativity and make professional branding accessible to more companiesPacked with history, frameworks, and practical examples, this conversation will change the way you think about brand value, brand portfolios, and how to make your brand truly indispensable.00:00 – Introduction to CMO Confidential & Guest David Aaker01:15 – Why Brand Value Still Isn't a Universally Accepted Principle03:45 – The Birth of Brand Equity in the 1990s06:10 – Short-Termism, Performance Marketing, and the Brand Erosion Problem08:35 – How to Justify Brand as an Asset (Case Studies & Examples)11:20 – The Visibility Advantage and 14 Dimensions of Brand Value13:05 – Why CFOs and Boards Believe in Other Brands, but Not Their Own15:10 – B2B vs B2C Branding: Key Differences and What Matters Most17:45 – Why Many Companies Are Managing Brands Poorly Today20:00 – Branding in a Hostile Communication Environment22:05 – The Power of Brand Portfolios, Companion Brands, and “Silver Bullet” Brands24:30 – Examples: Uniqlo, HeatTech, and the Westin Heavenly Bed26:10 – Super Bowl Advertising: Breaking Through Clutter and Skepticism28:00 – AI, the Democratization of Creativity, and the Future of Branding29:20 – Final Advice: Your Duty as a Marketer to Build the Brand as an Asset30:15 – Closing Remarks & SubscribeHere's your list fully hashtagged and comma-separated:#cmoconfidential, #DavidAaker, #brandvalue, #brandequity, #brandstrategy, #marketingstrategy, #brandingadvice, #B2Bbranding, #B2Cbranding, #brandmanagement, #shorttermism, #performancemarketing, #purposedrivenbranding, #DoveRealBeauty, #UniqloHeatTech, #HabitatforHumanity, #marketingleadership, #brandportfolio, #brandeddifferentiators, #brandedenergizers, #brandedsourceofcredibility, #hostilemediaenvironment, #disruptiveinnovation, #AIinbranding, #democratizationofcreativity, #CMOpodcast, #marketingpodcastSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

If you're a Manifesting Generator, you probably find it challenging to stay "on brand" when you have so many different things you want to talk about. You might create content about one topic, then feel excited about something completely different, and wonder if you're confusing your audience or diluting your message. In this Human Design business episode, I'm breaking down exactly how to create the conditions that let you explore your various interests while still building a cohesive brand that people can follow. This builds on the episode about Manifesting Generators and Sales, so make sure you've listened to that first.In this episode, I share:

In this episode of the Building PA Podcast, co-hosts Jon O'Brien and Chris Martin celebrate five years of podcasting while diving into a critical topic: opioid awareness and pain management in the context of surgery. They are joined by Brand Newland, the CEO and co-founder of Goldfinch Health, who brings a wealth of knowledge and a fresh perspective on how to navigate the challenges associated with opioid prescriptions following surgery.Brand begins by addressing the opioid crisis, emphasizing the need for a shift in how we approach pain management, particularly in surgical settings. He shares insights from his experience as a pharmacist and discusses the founding of Goldfinch Health in 2018, which aims to improve the surgical experience by advocating for better pain management practices that reduce reliance on opioids.The conversation highlights the importance of multimodal pain management strategies, which include using non-opioid medications like acetaminophen and ibuprofen, as well as innovative approaches such as the TLC method (Tylenol, Lyrica, and Celebrex) to manage pain effectively before and after surgery. Brand explains how these methods can lead to quicker recovery times and fewer complications, ultimately allowing patients to return to work sooner—an average of 35 days faster than national benchmarks.Jon and Chris share their personal experiences with opioid prescriptions, illustrating the common issue of being prescribed excessive amounts of pain medication post-surgery. Brand reassures listeners that there are alternatives and encourages them to advocate for themselves and their loved ones when it comes to pain management.The episode also touches on the financial implications of better pain management practices, with Brand discussing a recent study that shows a significant return on investment for employers who implement Goldfinch's programs. This is particularly relevant for those in the construction industry, where physical labor is a daily reality, and managing pain effectively can lead to improved productivity and overall well-being.As the discussion progresses, Brand introduces the concept of enhanced recovery protocols and the importance of preparing for surgery in a way that minimizes pain and anxiety. He shares practical tips, such as staying hydrated and consuming clear liquids before surgery, which can help improve recovery outcomes.Towards the end of the episode, Brand discusses Goldfinch's new initiative, the Billion Pill Fudge Program, aimed at reducing the number of leftover opioid pills after surgery. He emphasizes the importance of safe disposal methods to prevent accidental poisoning, particularly among children.
