You're a founder with a great cybersecurity product—but no one knows or cares. Or you're a marketer drowning in jargon (hey, customers hate acronyms, too), trying to figure out what works and what doesn't. Gianna Whitver, co-founder of the Cybersecurity Marketing Society, breaks down what the cybersecurity industry is getting wrong—and right—about marketing.In this episode, we talk about:Cyber marketing is hard (but you knew that already). It requires deep product knowledge, empathy for stressed buyers, and clear, no-FUD messaging.Building authentic, value-driven communities leads to stronger cybersecurity marketing impact.Don't copy the marketing strategies of big enterprises. Instead, focus on clarity, founder stories, and product-market fit.Founder-led marketing works. Early-stage founders can break through noise by sharing personal stories.Think twice before listening to the advice of “influencer” marketers. This advice is often overly generic. Or, you're following advice of marketers marketing to marketers (try saying that ten times fast). In other words, their advice is probably not going to apply to cybersecurity.Gianna Whitver is the co-founder and CEO of the Cybersecurity Marketing Society, a community for marketers in cybersecurity to connect and share insights. She is also the podcast co-host of Breaking Through in Cybersecurity Marketing podcast, and founder of LeaseHoney, a place for beekeepers to find land.

Erum and Karl break down a concept they've lived and breathed—but rarely spelled out: orchestration. If you're building a startup in synthetic biology or advanced materials, this is a must-listen deep dive into how influence is built before your product lands or your funding closes. They pull back the curtain on how to create "value chain syndicates," why intros aren't just intros, and how real biotech momentum comes from aligning stakeholders across an entire ecosystem—not just impressing one customer.Taped just ahead of SynBioBeta 2025, this episode crackles with tactical wisdom, from designing credibility scaffolds to creating the conditions for inbound interest before traditional biz dev ever kicks in. Orchestration, they argue, is the true differentiator in biotech's current era—more critical than science alone.Grow Everything brings the bioeconomy to life.

Welcome to the Health Marketing Collective, where strong leadership meets marketing excellence. In today's episode, host Sara Payne sits down with Mike Cronin, Cofounder and Chief Strategist at Verve, to explore the evolving landscape of creativity in B2B healthcare marketing. Mike, whose impressive résumé includes brand and campaign strategy for UnitedHealth Group, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Optum, and revered consumer brands like Harley-Davidson and Samuel Adams, brings a rare blend of creative vision and strategic rigor to his work. His fundamental belief? That creative work's purpose is to move people, not just fill space. In this conversation, Mike and Sara dive deep into how B2B health brands can move beyond “safe” ideas and unlock emotionally resonant, unforgettable campaigns—even within highly regulated and risk-averse spaces. They discuss why simplicity is a superpower, the importance of strategic “boxes,” and how marketing leaders can create environments where big swings are encouraged, not stifled. Along the way, Mike shares memorable stories from his work (including a campaign that fused Lizzo's “Good as Hell” into healthcare advertising), offers insight into the universal human truths marketers often miss, and outlines what separates teams that produce great creative from those that simply make noise. Thank you for being part of the Health Marketing Collective, where strong leadership meets marketing excellence. The future of health care depends on it. Key Takeaways: Creativity Thrives Within Constraints: Mike challenges the conventional wisdom of “thinking outside the box.” He argues that true creativity is often unlocked not by limitless freedom, but by well-defined strategic constraints. It's within the confines of a focused brief—what Mike calls “the freedom of a tight brief”—that intelligent, emotionally resonant ideas emerge. Rather than aiming for “crazy” or “flashy,” the best creative is smart, intentional, and purpose-driven. Emotion and Human Truth are Universal, Even in B2B: B2B often gravitates toward rational benefits: cost savings, efficiency, or productivity. But, as Mike notes, even financial administrators and clinicians are humans first—they respond to messages that tap into universal emotions and experiences: hope, fear, dignity, and relief from frustration. Brands that connect on this human level, rather than just touting features and benefits, become memorable and meaningful. Strategic Alignment is the Key to Unlocking Great Creative: Teams that produce truly breakthrough work consistently prioritize strategy. When everyone is aligned on the core insight and brief, creativity can flow freely within those parameters. Conversely, weak or vague direction leads to “safe,” generic campaigns. Mike's experience shows that great creative always starts with a shared, sharp strategic foundation. Boldness is Essential for Breaking Through the Noise: Healthcare, especially B2B, often defaults to playing it safe (“everything's blue”)—but in a crowded marketplace, standing out is non-negotiable. Mike advocates for boldness that is grounded in the brand's truth and strategically anchored. The result: unforgettable, not just noisy, marketing. Leadership's Role: Foster Honesty, Empathy, and Trust: Leadership sets the tone for creativity and trust. Mike urges CMOs and marketing leaders to lead with clarity and honesty—eschewing “BS” and toxic positivity for real, truthful dialogue about challenges and opportunities. Teams (and audiences) respond to authenticity; when leaders call things as they are and create space for truth, better work results.

Today we launched our new series, "Breaking Through the Storm." In Part 1, "Peace in the Storm," we looked at Mark 4:35-41 — where Jesus calms a raging storm and reminds us that His peace is greater than any fear we face. Key reminders from today's message: Storms are inevitable, but Jesus is with us. His silence doesn't mean His absence. Fear reveals where our faith is anchored. Jesus has authority over every storm. We don't have to fear because of His Promise, His Presence, and His Peace. Scriptures: Mark 4:35-41, John 16:33, 2 Timothy 1:7

Are you prepared for life's ultimate transition?In this episode of Life in Transition, Art Blanchford speaks with Sonya Weisshappel, the "Chaos Whisperer" behind Seriatim Inc. At just 14, Sonya witnessed something extraordinary—her father's spirit leaving his body. "I saw a vapor cloud come from his center and hover and leave," she recalls. This profound moment taught her our bodies are merely shells. Nothing goes with us in the end. How did this realization transform her life? Sonya channeled this spiritual understanding into helping others declutter both physical spaces and digital chaos, creating harmony in their lives.Ever felt weighed down by your possessions? You're not alone. The conversation dives deep into how clutter creates resistance in our daily lives. Art shares his own garage organization journey. Sonya challenges listeners to take inventory of their spaces. Is your environment supporting your goals?

What changes will you make today?Sonya Weisshapel grew up in New York City where she started her organizing company, Seriatim, in 1999. Proudly dyslexic, Sonya founded her business in order to avoid writing a resume and now, a quarter of a century later, she and her  Seriatim team have earned themselves a reputation as consummate Chaos Whisperers. In 2017, Sonya became the first organizer to be accepted into the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses™ Program. She is currently President of the New York Council of Relocation Professionals (NYCORP).

Think your challenges are holding you back from triathlon? Meet Aditya Mehta from Mumbai, India, a 35 year old endurance athlete who was diagnosed with epilepsy at the age of 4. Despite being told that swimming was too dangerous a risk for him with seizures, he learned how to swim freestyle at 32 years old. He has since gone on to complete triathlons worldwide. His story isn't just inspiring – it's a masterclass in turning limitations into stepping stones for success. And it all started with watching a half marathon in Mumbai. From Spectator to Game-Changer In 2015, Aditya stood on the sidelines of the Standard Chartered half marathon, not knowing that moment would transform his life. With zero running experience and epilepsy as his constant companion, Aditya has since completed multiple 10Ks, marathons, and even a 50k ultra. But he wasn't done yet. Breaking Through the "Impossible" In 2019, Aditya added cycling to his repertoire and, despite being told that swimming was too dangerous a risk for him with seizures, he quite literally took the plunge and learned to swim freestyle in 2022 at 32 years old, adding the final piece to his triathlon puzzle. For Aditya, this wasn't just about completing a race – it was about seeing how far he could challenge his body and shattering preconceptions about what is possible with epilepsy. The Nutrition Game-Changer With the support of his family, swimming coach and doctors, Aditya continued to train but knew he needed a nutrition strategy as unique as his situation. Joining the Triathlon Nutrition Academy has given him the personalised approach to help him fuel his ambitious goals. No more guesswork, no more generic plans – just precise, targeted fuelling strategies that support both his epilepsy and his performance goals. The result? He's now preparing for a Half Ironman in Estonia with a sub-six-hour target in his sights. Beyond Personal Victory Aditya isn't just changing the game for himself – he's reshaping how the world views athletes with epilepsy. Through citywide events and advocacy, he's building a community that turns "you can't" into "watch me." His message is clear: with the right support and strategy, your supposed limitations can become your greatest strengths. If you have challenges that you think are too big, Aditya reminds us that limitations are only set in our minds. Once you let them go, anything is possible.

There was a point in time when I chose not to budget, and it cost me a lot. Thankfully, I got my act together and now I help women do the same. We all need to be budgeting, and if you've convinced yourself otherwise, I'm here to set you straight! In this episode, I'm sharing 5 budgeting myths millennial women (or any woman really) needs to stop believing because these myths are delaying a life of happiness. One of the most common things people do with their finances is trying to keep it all in their head. If you think you can keep your budget top of mind, you're setting yourself up for failure. I share some solutions to this particular myth.   Here's a glance at this episode: [03:05] When you rely on a mental budget, you're leaving so much room for error. We can't remember or account for everything in our head. [06:42] Just because you never learned how to budget in the past doesn't mean that you can't learn or succeed with budgeting in the present.  [09:15] When it comes to creating your budget, there are certain numbers that you do need to know, but you don't have to be responsible for always calculating them. [13:40] A budget should include the things you love and/or saving for the things that truly matter to you. [16:53] You can't predict the future. Certain things will come up that we can't plan for. That means you need to believe it's okay to be fluid with your budget.    Rate, Review, & Follow: Did you love this episode? Are you a fan of the City Girl Savings podcast?

He opens up about the moment he hit rock bottom, the pivotal decisions that changed his life, and why so many men today are quietly suffering.

Unedited Summary: Navigating the Spiritual Ladder: Insights from Likutei MoharanThe Power of Perspective: Top-Down vs. Bottom-Up ApproachesTop-Down Approach (Truth-Driven):Spiritual growth begins with a higher, unified perspective. A higher perspective sees unity in seemingly conflicting systems (like the body's organs), understanding them as one coherent design.Bottom-Up Approach (Desire-Driven):When you're grounded in physicality or emotional desires, it's hard to see the unity. The goal is to elevate your perspective to reveal the interconnectedness of all things.Breaking Through Illusions (Klipah) on the Spiritual AscentKlipah: Obstacles on the Path:At every level of spiritual growth, we encounter klipah—barriers that seem to separate us from the truth. These barriers provide the stage for spiritual challenge, growth and, ultimately, elevation.The Orange Peel Metaphor:Klipah is like the peel of an orange: it protects the fruit but doesn't stand alone. At higher levels, we recognize that klipah serves its purpose, but once removed, it withers away.As we grow, we must confront and subdue these klipah, recognizing that everything in the physical world ultimately leads us to a unified truth.Unity in Diversity: Revealing Divine HarmonyDivine Attributes as Colors:Chesed (kindness) and Gevurah (strength) may appear as opposites, but from a higher perspective, they complement each other to create beauty (Tiferes).Spiritual growth is about seeing the whole picture—how different elements, when integrated, create a beautiful and unified system.Tzedakah: The Key to Spiritual AlignmentThe Role of Tzedakah:Giving tzedakah connects you to others and to Divine purpose. It transforms your resources from personal possessions to vessels for Divine will.Through tzedakah, we acknowledge that our material wealth is not for our benefit alone but a means to connect and uplift the world.The Cosmic Impact of Individual GrowthInterconnectedness of All:Each person's growth impacts the entire spiritual ecosystem. As you rise, you elevate those around you, creating a ripple effect that leads to greater unity in the world.Practical Guidance for Overcoming Spiritual ChallengesRecognizing Spiritual Growth Through Challenges:New difficulties are often signs that you've advanced to a higher spiritual level. What seems like a setback or resistance can actually be a sign of closer proximity to the Divine.Embrace these challenges as opportunities to break through illusions and connect with deeper truths.The Role of Simcha in Spiritual GrowthSimcha as a Driver:True happiness comes from doing what you should be doing, aligned with your higher purpose. As you grow spiritually, you'll experience more Simcha, which propels you closer to unity with Hashem.Simcha is not external; it comes from within when you align with your true self and purpose.Breaking Through the Illusions of the Yetzer HaraThe Yetzer Hara's New Name: Koach HaMedameh:The Yetzer Hara, which manifests as illusions and fantasies, is described as the “power of imagination” (Koach HaMedameh). As we rise spiritually, we encounter new levels of the Yetzer Hara.In times of spiritual revelation, these illusions become stronger, presenting new challenges that must be...

Brown, Chris Sullivan, Def Jam Records, StoryShots, Ego, story shorts, Red Hot Chili Peppers, In the book summary of I Will Teach You to Be Rich by Ramit Sethi, the focus is on developing a personal financial strategy that empowers individuals to take control of their financial futures. The book emphasizes the importance of defining what being rich means to you personally, and encourages conscious spending by tracking expenses and making informed financial decisions. Sethi advocates for prioritizing spending on things you truly love while cutting back on less important expenses. The summary highlights key strategies for financial success, including starting early to leverage compound interest and breaking free from excuses that hinder financial growth. Sethi recommends focusing on macro financial decisions rather than getting caught up in minor cost-cutting measures. The book outlines 12 critical financial strategies, such as automating your money system, maintaining a good credit score, getting employer 401k matches, and negotiating raises. A central theme of the book is creating an automatic money management system that simplifies financial planning and helps individuals stick to long-term financial goals. By setting up multiple accounts for different purposes - including checking, savings, credit cards, retirement, and investment accounts - individuals can more effectively manage their finances. Sethi's approach is practical and non-judgmental, focusing on creating sustainable financial habits that align with personal values and long-term objectives. Key takeaways: Define what being 'rich' means to you personally and practice conscious spending by prioritizing expenses that truly matter to you Start investing and building wealth early to leverage compound interest and establish smart money habits over time Avoid making excuses that prevent financial progress; take action even if your initial steps aren't perfect Focus on macro financial strategies like automating your money system, maintaining a good credit score, and contributing to retirement accounts rather than getting stuck on minor expenses Set up an automatic money management system with multiple accounts (checking, savings, credit card, retirement, investment) to simplify finances and ensure consistent financial habits Prioritize five to ten key financial actions that yield significant results, such as negotiating raises, cutting major expenses, and using credit cards strategically Adopt a mindset of financial growth by being willing to start small and consistently improve your money management skills Challenge conventional financial wisdom by making informed, personalized decisions about spending and investing based on your individual goals (00:00) Introduction to The Creative Act: A Way of Being by Rick Rubin (01:05) About Rick Rubin (01:50) Everyone Is a Creator (02:55) Living Life as an Artist (03:53) Look Inward (04:52) Trust Your Intuition (06:17) Don't Let Doubt Hinder Your Creativity (07:25) Breaking Through the Creative Block (08:21) 10 Small Steps for Shaking up Your Process (10:53) 4 Steps to Bringing Creative Work to Life (12:17) Finding Fulfillment Through Experimentation and Completion (13:48) Final Summary and Review (15:00) Rating Related Book Summaries Creativity Inc. by Ed Catmull and Amy Wallace Discipline is Destiny by Ryan Holiday The War of Art by Steven Pressfield The Good Life by Robert Waldinger The Practice by Seth Godin Never Finished by David Goggins Learn more about your ad choices.

Breaking Through the Clouds by Marlene BurlingGod has taken Marlene through many times of loss, pain and grief as well as disappointments and heartaches. Her desire for this book is that as she shares what God has done in her life, it will be an encouragement and help to those experiencing similar situations. John 10:10 continues to be her theme verse, as it was in her devotionals, "The thief comes to steal, to kill and destroy; I am come that you might have life; and that you might have it more abundantly." Satan is always trying to destroy our relationship with our Lord, but Jesus is greater than he and Jesus is the one who can help us "break through any cloud" that may be surrounding us and give us that abundant life that he wants us to live.Marlene is a widow. She was married to her pastor husband for 51 years. She has 3 children, 10 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. Besides this book, she has written two 365-day devotionals: "Morning Walks with God," and "A Daily Walk with God."

Kaleidoscopic psychedelia from one of Australia's finest. While it might feel early to call bets on DJs of the decade, Kia Sydney, best known as Kia, is undoubtedly one of them. The Animalia founder began in Naarm's (Melbourne) underground scene in the mid-2010s, crediting a trip to the influential deep techno Japanese festival, Labyrinth, as the inspiration behind her sound. Deep techno might not cut it as a descriptor for Sydney's sound, though. Hypnotic ribbons of steely techno mix with atmospherics and nimble grooves, drawing from IDM, dub and tech house, sharing as much with DJ Nobu and Donato Dozzy (try to find the track that overlaps with Dozzy's own RA Podcast) as well as modern practitioners like Priori and Beatrice M. This distinctly Australian scuttling psychedelia has made Kia one of the most sought-after underground DJs globally. Her brainchild, Animalia, showcases a plurality of sounds and scenes, serving as living proof of the fruitful shift of the 2020s: less serious, perhaps, but with a sense of open-minded worldliness that offers a far more promising vision of what dance music can be and achieve. Sydney's rare talent lies in forging connections, bringing people, sounds and ideas together with a distinct playfulness. Her RA Podcast showcases this alchemy in abundance, weaving classics like Monolake and Enya with peers such as OK EG, Cousin and Command D. As she told us in her 2023 Breaking Through profile, "people tell me I have quite a distinctive sound but I can't tell so much because I hear so many different versions of it." RA.973 serves as confirmation that Kia's style is, to say the least, the mark of a generational talent. @kia-sydney @animalia-label @cirruslabel Read more at ra.co/podcast/973

Beyond technology, Chris is also a champion equestrian and dairy farmer. Her incredible journey is captured in Breaking Through the Silicon Ceiling. In today's episode, Chris reveals how an initial mistake—pursuing electrical engineering to impress someone—unexpectedly launched her into a successful engineering and leadership career. Chris and Mark discuss the challenges she faced as a woman in a male-dominated field, the importance of persistence, and her approach to leading successful business turnarounds.

Throughout the conversation, Chris emphasizes the value of learning from mistakes, building confidence, and leveraging opportunities for growth, offering listeners practical leadership insights and inspiration. Questions and Topics: What would you say is your favorite mistake? Did the relationship with the guy who inspired you to study engineering work out? As you went through your engineering education, did you have doubts? Did it feel like a mistake at first? Why would a caseworker be resistant to letting you attend college? Did you have to pitch your plan for going to college? How did you make it work financially? What was it like being the first or only woman on teams early in your career? When did you start transitioning from technical roles to leadership roles, and did you aspire to become a CEO? How did the team you managed react to having a female boss? What challenges did you face with your superiors as you advanced? How did you feel about becoming a CEO for the first time, especially on 9/11? Did the events of 9/11 affect your business? What lessons did you learn from leading turnarounds, and how did you diagnose the issues? Did you encounter similar challenges during other turnarounds, like the one during the 2008 financial crisis? How did media attention around being the first female CEO in semiconductors affect you? Who were some CEOs that you admired or learned from? What are the three things any successful businessperson needs? What three things do people not need to succeed in business? How many women have followed your path in the semiconductor industry? What lessons did you learn from dairy farming? What lessons did you learn from equestrian competitions? How do you see the parallels between leading a team and managing livestock or horses? How do you approach creating a culture of learning from mistakes in leadership? What inspired you to write your book, Breaking Through the Silicon Ceiling? How do you reach the audience you want with your book, and what creative efforts have you made for that? Who is the audience you're hoping to inspire with your story? What advice would you give for fostering interest in STEM among young women?
