POPULARITY
This week, we are wrapping up a series on The Rebooting Show that examines the role of product at a time of distribution and monetization shifts. The twin themes that emerged are that publishers are increasingly focused on direct relationships with audiences and are in a back-to-basics mode of focusing product resources on critical business objectives, which often rely on loyalty. And the looming question: How will AI be used to make these businesses more effective while not losing their distinctiveness in a sea of artificial slop.Brian Alvey, CTO of WordPress VIP, discussed with me how AI's impact on publishers' day-to-day operations will be felt first and foremost on mundane tasks that end up eating up a lot of resources. The early efforts to embed AI within the publishing process were predictably ham-handed. Using ChatGPT to create AI slop is hardly innovative – and unlikely to be very effective. I'm very skeptical of creating much value out of using AI to churn out tons of aggregation newsletters, for instance.The most immediate opportunities in the content process lie in areas like tagging, inserting links to related articles, testing headlines and the like. As Brian warns, there's no point in using AI in a way that eliminates the competitive advantage of having a distinct voice.Some highlights from our conversation:On the site as a requisite for an independent path: "If you want to be around in five years, I think so. Don't you like why would you has nobody ever learned that building up and like no offense to any of these, you know, what I call bastard gatekeepers that take your audience away from you."On where AI's impact will be felt: "People probably overestimate the amount of things that AI is going to help them automate of what they do today. They underestimate how many things they're just not doing because it's so hard that AI is going to let them do."On AI's use within the content creation process rather than creating content: "Some parts of that [process] can absolutely be handled by modern generative chat, GPT-style, LLM AI."On distinctiveness in an AI era: "Be remarkable, No. 1. That's how you'll stand out from a sea of junk."On being product-minded vs a tech company: Publishers “should be product minded. They are creating a product for people to consume. They should have product talent. If you are the New York Times, you have a thousand product people. If you are somebody else, you have 10. But no, they shouldn't be a technology company."

Guy Relford returns for another episode of “The Gun Guy” on 93.1 WIBC. Guy begins the show with Brian Alvey whom Guy walked with today for the Warrior 110 project. https://thewarrior110.org/ https://www.facebook.com/Warr110r/ The Warrior 110 program raises awareness and funds for veterans suffering from physical and emotional ailments such as PTS (post-traumatic stress) and TBI (traumatic brain injury). Awareness and dollars are raised through "Ruck Marches" (weighted walks often used in military training that stretch for more miles) and various other events throughout the year. Guy then talks about an interview he read with Professor Leila Sadat is the James Carr Professor of International Criminal Law at the Washington University in St. Louis. https://www.studlife.com/news/2022/11/09/q-a-reframing-the-conversation-about-gun-control-around-human-rights/ Sadat: "The current focus in the United States is almost entirely on the “rights” of individuals wishing to purchase and wield arms, which they frame as “gun rights” guaranteed by the Second Amendment of the US constitution. I like to say there's no such thing as gun rights because guns don't have rights, people do. And that's not just me being professorial, it's a fundamental point." Guy takes issue with that logic. The 2nd Amendment is not a 2nd tier right. There is no hierarchy in our bill of rights. in the 2nd hour, Guy talks about practical reasons for Hoosiers to get a carry license, even though our state is now a constitutional carry state. While Hoosiers have the right to carry without a license, they may not be able to carry outside the state without an Indiana Carry License. How Reciprocity works under Constitutional Carry (the2aproject.com) As usual, Guy takes calls from the listeners. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

News With the release of WordPress 6.0 RC1, it is time to explore the 97+ enhancements that have been made. Milana Cap over at make.wordpress.org has shared the field guide where developers can read about the high-level changes in WordPress 6.0. The field guide also covers changes in accessibility, blocks, UI, and more for the non-developers out there. Birgit Pauli-Haack has done a great review in the Gutenberg times newsletter of what is new in the latest Gutenberg Plugin 13.1. Go check out the updates along with how to switch your website to a FSE theme by Carolina Nymark. Carolina's long post covers the benefits and cautions about third-party plugins that may not yet be updated. Events David Bisset shared in a tweet that the 19th anniversary of #WordPress is coming on May 27th. Go to wp19.day to share a few words, a photo (direct or via Twitter w/ #wp19 #wp19day) or a video short via @ZipMessage on the website. It's a global event and you can already check out some of the submissions posted to the site. From Our Contributors and Producers If you are concerned that WordPress can still compete in the CMS market you may be interested to find out that searches for WordPress terms hit over 10 million per month for the first time. Alex Denning wrote a post about what might be going on over his website at Ellipsis. There has been the largest volume of search traffic for WordPress yet, with a growth of 25% in absolute volumes from Q3 to Q4. If search data indicates interest and growth then WordPress still has some validity in the CMS market space.

Last week, our Warriors got back to being dominant on the field as they won 42-0 over North Central. But that's to be expected. WE ARE THE WARRIORS. They are not. PERIOD POINT BLANK. I remind everyone that if we are to be at the top once again that nights like last week must happen especially against teams that aren't trying to reach the same goals as we are. But the bigger story for this week's show is my guest. Retired Army Staff Sgt. Brian Alvey, a 1991 Warren Grad and Warrior Football Alum joins me for this very special episode. He and I discuss his life from playing as a sophomore on the football field under Coach Larry Willen to walking on at Franklin College to his journeys in the military and what he's doing now to help other great veterans like himself. Truly one of my best conversations I've had on this show over the years. I end the show with an update on our guys playing and coaching at the next level. So sit back and enjoy another great episode of True Warrior Football!!! *This episode is dedicated to the Men & Women that served and gave their lives during the events of conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan over the last 20 years. Your sacrifice has not been forgotten and I am truly thankful for all you've done for our country. GOD BLESS YOU ALL

You can’t write a history of Web 2.0 without including the contributions of Brian Alvey. After getting his start doing design work for traditional publications like TV Guide and BusinessWeek, Alvey teamed up with his childhood friend Jason Calacanis to launch a series of online publications. Eventually, the two created Weblogs, Inc, a blog network that went on to be sold to AOL. The content management system Alvey built would eventually power AOL’s portal and much of its websites. But Alvey didn’t stop there; he’d go on to build publishing platforms that would power everything from TMZ to Rupert Murdoch’s ambitious iPad app The Daily. I interviewed Alvey about what it was like to run a blog network in Web 2.0’s early days, how he ended up in a 45 minute meeting with Jeff Bezos, and why the iPad failed to save the media industry.
THE REDFIELD ARTS REVUE Episode 5: Mark Redfield In Conversation With Mike Gold At Baltimore Comic-Con ALSO OLD TIME RADIO REVISITED With Martin Grams, Jr. - Superman On The Radio! "I’ve known Mike Gold casually for a few years, having met at a Baltimore Comic Con, and every year when he and I sit next to each other in artist Mark Wheatley’s Insight Studios booth we just chat our fool heads off. That is , when Mike isn’t off to some panel discussion to impart wisdom and insight gained from over thirty years in the comic book industry as an editor or publisher. Mike Gold started in the comics industry at DC Comics in the 70s, and then went on to launch First Comics in 1983 during that fertile decade, a happy time, the 80s, when both indie comics and indie films could flourish, be creative and find a way to market and to an audience. Mike went back to DC comics and continued his successful career as an editor, and in 2006 he founded ComicMix with Glenn Hauman and Brian Alvey. So, at the 2018 Baltimore Comic Con, while we sat at booth number 118 merrily chatting our fool heads off, I asked him if I could turn the recorder on, and in the roaring, noisy convention center hall asked him about the current state of the comic book industry, especially for creators, be they newcomers or seasoned pros…" - Mark Redfield For more great audio be sure to visit http://www.redfieldartsaudio.com

Who is Jillian Kaplan? Jillian Kaplan is a trauma survivor, animal advocate, rainbow baby mama, former binge eater turned health and fitness coach. Jillian was hit by a car crossing a crosswalk and had emergency brain surgery to save her life. She also had a shattered pelvis, face, sacrum, and septum. She spent 3 months in a wheelchair unable to walk or stand but has now fully recovered, lives pain free, and is the mom to a healthy baby girl born in September 2017, 13 months after the traumatic injury. Jillian has worked in corporate doing product management and marketing and is pursuing her passion around health as a coach for Beach Body which is part of her online health and fitness coaching business. She has a B.S. in Management and an MBA from Worcester Polytechnic Institute and lives with her amazing husband and daughter outside of Boston, Mass. Show Highlights Jillian talks about growing up in a healthy household and how she chose not to listen and ended up binge eating, addicted to diet pills, and struggling with her weight. Four years ago, Jillian made the choice to be healthy and strong which ended up saving her life. Jillian wants to share the message that you are beautiful the way you are, and that health is a lifestyle. Jillian talks about walking her puppy and getting hit by a car in September 2016 where the doctors weren’t sure if she would survive let alone walk again. She woke up after the accident and chose to let it be part of her story and to not define her. She has decided to make a ‘message’ out of the ‘mess.’ Jillian talks about the group Safe Roads Alliance that she works with in Massachusetts. She spoke at an event where she was the only living survivor of an accident like the one she was in. Jillian talks about how being in good shape helped her body deal with the trauma she endured. She had two surgeries within two days of each other which were traumatic in and of themselves. She was not only physically fit but mentally fit which came from making the decision to become healthier and changing her habits. Jillian’s husband was notified because of the number on her dog’s tag. She wasn’t carrying an ID and now she is an advocate for always carrying some form of ID. Jillian talks about how rehab was so mentally challenging since she was very young compared to the other people there and that she had no one to talk to. She was alone a lot and was unable to get out of bed on her own. She stayed sane by being active on social media and sharing her story. Jillian’s husband was incredibly supportive throughout this entire process. Jillian avoids the crosswalk where the accident occurred but did go there on the one-year anniversary of her accident. She is cautious now when she is out walking. Terri talks about the conversations she has with her children about being aware of drivers who are generally distracted and to remain vigilant when riding their bikes or walking out on the streets. Jillian talks about how she had a miscarriage, was experiencing infertility and was scheduled to meet with specialists but then had the accident. She was fortunate to have a young, female surgeon who was sensitive to the fact that Jillian was a young woman when fixing her after the accident. Jillian talks about how surprised she was to find out she was five months pregnant when she went in for a medical appointment and ended up delivering a healthy baby girl in the fall of 2017, thirteen months after her accident. Jillian talks about being a Beach Body coach before and after the accident. She appreciates the physical and mental strength that she has gained from the program. She feels an obligation to pay it forward at this point for people who feel defeated or stuck. Jillian likes to share the things she loves like Ipsy and Artic Zero ice cream and she pays for her products. Terri talks about how she hopes that Jillian ends up benefitting financially from promoting and supporting the products with her audience. If Jillian had a magic wand, she would change the way people communicate. She thinks that a lot of the world’s problems could be solved if we just talked to each other (and not through text or email). Brian Alvey introduced Terri to Jillian and they met through the adoption of their dog. Jillian talks about how she works with dog rescue organizations on fundraising. While she wasn’t raised with dogs, she ended up with a dog after a breakup and then wanted to foster dogs and ultimately providing support for dog rescues. Terri’s Key Takeaway Carry some sort of ID when out and about in the event of an accident or emergency. You never know who might need to reach someone on your behalf.

Terri and her producer Jacqueline sit down over a bottle of California bubby to talk about what Terri wanted to be when she grew up, growing up in a family business, being an identical twin, and what she would do with a magic wand. Show Highlights Terri and Jacqueline are enjoying an Iron Horse Vineyard Ocean Reserve in celebration of Terri’s birthday Terri and Jacqueline talk about the badass women they interviewed for upcoming podcasts and that Terri will not be actively looking for men to be on the podcast. Terri commented on how contrasts can provide clarity on what is important in our lives for us to take action. Terri shares how the last few weeks have re-enforced the need for her to recognize her value in all of her decisions. Jacqueline talks about how difficult it is for her to feel comfortable getting paid for the work she is doing and the value she is bringing to other people’s lives. Terri is wondering whether the startup advising she is doing is being valued because she is doing it for free. Jacqueline asks what Terri wanted to be what she wanted to be when she grew up. Terri talks about not wanting kids until she was around 22 when one of her ex-boyfriend’s sisters had twins and she got to spend a lot of time with them. Jacqueline and Terri talk about daycare for their children. Terri talks about her experience working on and off for her parents in their accounting firm between the age of 9 and 26. Terri talks about working in a family business and the dynamics including marital dynamics, kid/parent dynamics, and founder dynamics. Terri talks about disappointing her dad by not taking over his CPA firm. Terri’s diverse work experience came from working for all of her parents’ friends’ companies as she was growing up. Terri talks about her relationship with her identical twin sister. They’ve always had a contentious relationship which continues to this day and makes Terri very sad. Terri talks about how the universe gave her an older sister in Patty Nykodym who she met at the newborn parenting class when she was pregnant with her son. They ended up sharing a birthday and then delivering their first children (both boys) 4 hours apart at the same hospital by the same doctor. Terri talked about having to learn, in college, how to be a good girlfriend to other girls because having an identical twin, despite how difficult the relationship was, gave her an automatic friend. Terri talks about how hard it’s been to not have her sister active in her life because it feels like she’s lost a limb or part of her soul is missing. Jacqueline asks what Terri’s big lesson learned: own your destiny and be the pilot in your own life. If Terri could wave a magic wand, she would wave it over her family to eliminate whatever trauma or resentment exists in her family and create a new, functional and happy adult dynamic. But she would truly, rather wave the magic wand to make her friends with some very sick kids, make the kids all better. Jacqueline talks about how Terri built an amazing family atmosphere in her house that makes it fun to come over and hang out. It’s Jaqueline’s favorite co-working space. Call to Action What would you do with a magic wand? Share your wish with Terri and Jacqueline at PilotingYourLife@gmail.com or on Twitter and tag @PilotingLife hashtag #PilotingYourLife.
