Amelia Nash's journey from a small Canadian town to becoming a brand strategist in New York City is the epitome of non-linear creative exploration. Starting with dreams of being a French translator and drama teacher, Amelia's path took her through graphic design, marine biology aspirations, architecture firm work, insurance company design roles, freelance entrepreneurship during the pandemic, and ultimately to studying at SVA's prestigious Masters in Branding program.Her story is marked by a fearless approach to opportunity, consistently leaving situations where she felt capped in growth, and maintaining an attitude of "confetti in the wind" - throwing out applications and ideas to see what lands. From working as the sole designer at an architecture firm to building a successful branding studio during COVID-19, Amelia demonstrates how curiosity and courage can create unexpected opportunities.Now working as Brand and Marketing Manager at SVA's Masters in Branding program and as a senior staff writer for Print magazine, Amelia embodies the power of asking questions, embracing change, and refusing to settle for work that doesn't challenge her to grow.Key TakeawaysEmbrace non-linear paths - Your career doesn't need to follow a straight line; sometimes the most interesting journeys are like "confetti in the wind"Ask questions fearlessly - Being told you "ask too many questions" might be a sign you've outgrown your current environmentUse the one-day grief rule - Allow yourself to feel disappointment fully for one day, then move forward with renewed energyApply without high expectations - Submit applications and proposals as practice runs, removing pressure and fear of rejectionLeave when you hit your growth cap - Don't stay in positions where you can't evolve, even if they seem secureTurn disruption into opportunity - The pandemic became Amelia's launching pad for freelance success by helping others pivot their businessesLeverage curiosity as a career tool - Endless curiosity and quick boredom can be superpowers for finding new opportunitiesDon't overthink the outcome - Focus on trying rather than succeeding; most attempts won't work out, but that's not the pointListen for unexpected doors - A simple podcast mention led to SVA application and complete life transformationChoose growth over comfort - Repeatedly choosing uncertainty and challenge over stability led to increasingly fulfilling opportunities Daring Creativity.

The world of AI communicationAnyone can create high-quality content, and natural dialogue can now be had beyond language barriers. Avatars also allow for safe and rich self-expression. With these technologies, we are entering a new era of digital communication where creation, sharing, and experience are assisted by AI.For example, content generation automation has made it easy to automatically generate and distribute scripts, images, and videos. With the development of avatar technology, the diversification of expressions through personal avatars and sample avatars and the need for "avatar identity authentication" to replace traditional face recognition have arisen. You can promote the ideas and worldviews that you and your team feel as AI video films.In terms of innovation in communication, real-time translation is now possible with multilingual support, and conversation response speed has increased dramatically. Furthermore, the evolution of AI voice generation technology has made it possible to create more fluent speech and natural movements. Branding with your own voice as an avatar or other avatar characters will also become possible through advanced security, authentication systems, and ethics engines.These advances suggest new forms of future communication that complement human communication. Realizing multilingual real-time meetings with multiple avatars and seamless production flows from ideas to story distribution. And the evolution of meetings through meeting intelligence will make it possible to visualize and share creative value and support the generation of strategic images.*Future script / Marcury Vision LLC*Image/Using of Midjourney *Voice/Using of ELEVENT LABShttps://www.marcury-vision.com
Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you looking for some advice for strengthening your skills as a lawyer? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Guild Live Show, host Tyson Mutrux leads a dynamic discussion on lost leads in customer service, the top interview question job candidates should ask, and the ethics of employee poaching in tech.Using a training video of an initial client call, Tyson talks about lost leads in customer service and how firms can improve communication and establish processes with clients. It is important to know when to simply sign up a client as opposed to trying to get every piece of information. For this caller, they just needed help and the employee was focused on typing everything down, pressing for photos and using escalating behaviour. In contentious situations where callers are distressed, it is best to let them speak and provide a comforting environment where the person feels heard and the employee shows empathy. Tyson delves into questions that candidates should ask to uncover real company values. One of the questions is focused on having the manager describe the kind of person that should not work for the firm. For a manager, this will catch you off guard. But for a prospective candidate, this will allow you to understand how the company sees themselves and the kind of traits and attributes they hold close and value. It will also give you clarity on if it is the type of firm you are wanting to work for.Listen in to learn more!04:38 Lessons from the Lost Lead 09:04 The #1 Job Candidate Question12:36 Poaching in Tech: Meta vs. OpenAI 16:47 Jaguar's Rebranding Flop21:08 LLaMA AI Update & Live DemoTune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here.

[Get the Full show notes and blog posts by visiting the Seeds of Tao podcast here] Description: How does a small, community-owned organic dairy, rooted in the slow-paced traditions of Amish and Mennonite farmers, compete against slick, billion-dollar brands? The answer lies in authenticity, a deep understanding of customer values, and a story that truly resonates. In this episode, Joshua sits down with Sam Ingersoll, a passionate advocate and marketing leader in the regenerative food space. Sam shares his incredible "full circle" journey—from growing up on a farm and hating it, to an Ivy League education and the high-stakes world of tech marketing, and finally back to his roots, promoting the very principles he once fled. This conversation is a masterclass in regenerative marketing, exploring how to build a resilient brand, why listening is your most powerful tool, and how the connection between soil health and our own gut health may be the most important story we can tell. Show Notes: (8:46) Welcome to Kalona, Iowa: Sam describes the unique "ecological oasis" where he works, home to one of the largest concentrations of Amish and organic dairy farms in the U.S. (11:14) What Gets You Out of Bed? Sam shares his passion for being a consumer advocate and how marketing regenerative products is a way to have a tangible impact on human health and the planet. (15:13) Building a Resilient Business: The fascinating story of how Kalona Supernatural was founded by Amish farmers and protected itself through diversification and vertical integration. (22:23) A 'Regenpreneur's' Journey: Sam details his personal story, from a farm in Washington to Yale, to a spam-marketing office in Pakistan, and his eventual decision to reject the conventional corporate path for more meaningful work. (29:25) Coming Full Circle: Sam talks about joining the board of Hungry World Farm, the very nonprofit that took over the farm he grew up on. (38:37) From Ivy League to Farmer's Logic: How Sam's educational journey taught him the power of asking "why" and how that same principle of observation and adjustment is critical in regenerative agriculture. (48:08) The Art of Regenerative Marketing: Sam reveals his strategy of slowing down, having one-on-one conversations, and building genuine, long-term relationships with customers and influencers. (1:08:29) The Tipping Point for the Movement: Sam's key insight—that the regenerative movement will truly take off when consumers, particularly women, connect the dots between soil health and their family's gut health. (1:19:55) You're Not Selling a Carrot, You're Selling an Experience: Sam's final advice for entrepreneurs on the importance of becoming educators and storytellers to differentiate their products and build a loyal following.

Could plastic packaging be the next target on MAHA's hitlist? Have we reached peak chili crisp? Has Dubai chocolate already jumped the shark? The hosts dig in and debate, then spotlight a new $450 million fund that's fueling emerging food and beverage brands. We also sit down with Tara Lindley of High West, who talks about how the revered whiskey brand balances innovation with market demand. 0:35: No Ski, Just Apres. A CPG Hub. Bright News, Big Money. Dubai Snickers. Hoarding Crisp. THC Bs. – John is back home and in the studio, though he's still craving the Guinness from his recent travels. Jacqui dives deep into Nombase's new Data Hub, while Ray and Mike shine a spotlight on snack brand Sunnie, which just landed $1 million in fresh funding. They also break down the details of Shore Capital's massive third fund. In a segment meant to be rapid-fire, “Buy or Sell” turns into a spirited debate. Does Dubai chocolate still have momentum? Are plastic bottles a new target for RFK Jr.'s supporters? And has chili crisp finally hit its saturation point? The crew also taste-tests Like Air's latest opus, before Mike rounds things off with a few sips of cannabis-infused beverages. 31:12: Interview: Tara Lindley, Director of Sensory QA & New Product Development, High West – Utah's first legal distillery since 1870, High West crafts distinctive whiskeys that represent the culture and terrain of the American West.

Philip dials in from London to chat with “marketing mercenary” Michael Miraflor, who's fresh off his eighth year at Cannes Lions. And after the LinkedIn Thought Leader Industrial Complex weighed in on this year's event, he is ready to share some thoughts. In this episode, we dissect how the prestigious festival has fractured into three simultaneous conferences, each serving different masters in an industry grappling with AI anxiety, platform consolidation, and the eternal tension between craft and commercialism. Listen now if you're also wondering, what does creativity even mean anymore?French Riviera Dreams vs. Silicon Valley AnxietyKey takeaways:Cannes Lions 2025 operated as three distinct conferences simultaneously, reflecting the industry's cultural fragmentation between traditional creativity, advertising channels and platforms, and bougie networking events.AI seemingly dominated every conversation, with industry professionals making dark jokes about replacement theory.Retail media networks and tech platforms have fundamentally altered the festival's ecosystem and vibe, creating productive tension between creative celebration and commercial necessity.Post-festival controversies surrounding AI usage highlight our industry's evolving discourse over the role of authenticity and efficiency in creative work.“If you took away all of the tech companies and platforms and big agencies from the beach, what would Cannes Lions be reduced to? I don't know if it would even make enough money to sustain still having that award ceremony in 2025." – Michael Miraflor"It was inevitable that every other conversation that you would have would become one about AI replacement theory to a certain extent. Or, you know, jokes about how this year feels like we're all on the Titanic." – Michael Miraflor"I find it interesting that a lot of the criticism comes from people who have jobs in creativity that I think are quite elite jobs. In my field, I feel like we're all quite lucky to be where we are…We can be critical, and I think my job has been to be critical... But I also think that we all have some element of privilege to be able to do that kind of work." – Phillip JacksonIn-Show Mentions:The Cannes Lions AI ControversiesMrBeast thumbnail app controversyAssociated Links:Check 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?

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you looking for some tips on how to market your firm using Youtube? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Tyson and guest Ryan Webber explore the challenges and strategies of growing a YouTube channel, especially for small business owners. Growing a Youtube channel as a business owner can be a difficult feat. Ryan discusses the strategies needed to ensure a business owner can succeed with marketing their firm through Youtube. One of these strategies is to niche down your content. Your content needs to be specific and directed to a certain audience. If you are wanting to make videos about how to grow a firm or want to focus on answering different legal questions, create videos around that topic only and build it up,Ryan and Tyson talk about the structure needed for video introductions. Ryan uses the Three P's, which stand for Pain, Proof and Promise. Pain is identifying the pain point you are going to address, proof is showing how you have accomplished it yourself or that you can provide a solution, and promise is what the audience will get out of the video. This will capture the audience's attention and keep them intrigued to stay until the end.Listen in to learn more!Tune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here.

A hip-hop icon. A lifelong bond. A shared passion for craft spirits. And a warehouse full of aged whiskey. When these elements came together, they gave rise to Amber & Opal, a premium honey botanical rye whiskey that's turning heads in the spirits industry. Launched in 2024, Amber & Opal was co-founded by Ja Rule, Herb Rice, Sandy Sandiford, and Kelvin Barton. A rye whiskey blended with orange blossom honey and an elegant mix of botanicals, including cinnamon, fig, ginger, and black tea, the spirit was crafted to bridge worlds: approachable for newcomers, yet complex enough to intrigue seasoned whiskey enthusiasts. At the buzzing Amber & Opal booth during the 2025 Bar Convent Brooklyn trade show in June, Ja, Herb, and Sandy shared insights into the brand's origin story and the meaning behind its evocative name. They also discuss the intentional, measured way they're leveraging Ja's star power and why they are confident that the flavor-forward whiskey has the potential to redefine what modern spirits can be. Show notes: 0:25: Ja Rule, Herb Rice & Sandy Sandiford, Co-Founders, Amber & Opal – Ray learns how Ja Rule signs checks before the musician and entrepreneur explains why Amber & Opal shouldn't be labeled a “celebrity brand,” and why the founding team was advised against making a flavored whiskey. Herb talks about how product development was focused on flavor, accessibility and innovation, and how in a tequila-saturated market, it is strategically positioned to stand out. The team also discusses how the package and label design reflects an emphasis on inclusivity and storytelling before sharing a sample of the whiskey with Ray, who offers his take on its taste and potential appeal.
