What if everything you're optimizing for in marketing — attention, clicks, engagement — is a proxy for the one thing that actually drives action? Pranav Yadav is the Founder & Global CEO of Neuro-Insight, the world's largest measure of memory. His company maps brains to determine what advertising actually does to people — second by second — with an 86% correlation to real-world sales. In this conversation, he makes the case that memory is the only metric that matters, explains why hyper-personalization is destroying culture, and breaks down exactly why Budweiser's most iconic Super Bowl ad failed at the brain level while Samsung's Wallhuggers became their most successful campaign ever. Pranav Yadav is a former Goldman Sachs trader turned neuroscientist, Forbes 30 Under 30, and Ad Age 40 Under 40. He created the Neuro Impact Factor — the brain-based metric that all Australian out-of-home media is now traded on.   Key takeaways • 90% of all memory is subconscious — brands have been measuring the wrong 10% • $750 billion in annual marketing spend is wasted because recall ≠ memory • The brain is a pattern-seeking storytelling device — personal relevance opens the door to memory • Hyper-personalization destroys the shared cultural memory that makes marketing work • The #1 rated Super Bowl ad (Budweiser Lost Puppy) placed the brand at the exact moment the brain stopped encoding memory • Samsung's Wallhuggers hid the brand for 45 seconds and became their most successful campaign   Follow Pranav on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/pranavyadavpy Learn more: neuro-insight.com   Chapters 0:00 Introduction 1:31 The Urdu Couplet That Opens the Conversation 2:28 Marketing Has Been Leaning on Pseudoscience for Decades 5:09 Why Memory Is the Only Metric That Matters 8:32 The Shirt Test: Recall vs Memory 12:23 How to Get Into the 90% — Story Is the Boat 15:17 What 5,000-Year-Old Vedic Rituals Teach About Memory 19:41 Alexander the Great vs the Naked Wise Man 24:28 MasterCard's Priceless: Finding the Core Truth 27:29 Why Brands Don't Do This (It's Hard) 32:23 Brain Mapping: How Neuro-Insight Actually Measures Memory 39:26 Brand Architecture: The Formula Every Brand Needs 43:48 Why Hyper-Personalization Will Destroy Society 50:54 Why 90% of Super Bowl Ads Fail at the Brain Level 54:17 Budweiser's Lost Puppy: The #1 Ad That Failed 58:04 Samsung Wallhuggers: Genius at the Memory Moment 1:00:25 Why LLMs Are Trained on the Shadow of Thinking 1:07:41 Vows, Not Values: How Neuro-Insight Stays Creative 1:15:51 The Neuro Impact Factor: Changing How Australia Trades Media 1:19:57 What Makes a Great Billboard 1:20:23 Where to Find Pranav   ----Mission.org is a media studio producing content alongside world-class clients.

A single “loss” can either break you or reroute you, and Terri Clark proves it can do both. Sitting down with me on Stories Behind the Songs, Terry tells the wild true story of a Canadian talent contest that left her and her mom crying on the drive home, only for her to learn ten years later that she actually won and was disqualified because she was underage at a Budweiser sponsored event. That one hidden detail helped push her toward the boldest move of her life: leaving Medicine Hat, Alberta for Nashville at 18 with no green card, no car, and no idea what the next week would look like.We get honest about the Nashville grind behind country music success: years of waiting tables, writing late on Music Row, carrying rejection from label to label, and hanging on to every small sign that the dream is still alive. Terri shares where she was when she first heard “Better Things To Do” on the radio, why she never really says “I've made it,” and how momentum in a career can vanish and return with the next brave creative choice.Because this is Stories Behind the Songs, we go deep on craft. Terri explains how she picks songs she did not write, why strong character and a strong female perspective matter, and how “No Fear,” co-written with Mary Chapin Carpenter, came together from a conversation about Johnny Cash. We also talk Terri Clark Take Two, reimagining hits with collaborators like Cody Johnson, Carly Pearce, and Kelly Clarkson, plus her blunt take on today's music business: art over commerce, play live, and do not let the content treadmill replace the work.If you love country music storytelling, songwriting process, and real career lessons from an artist who's lived them, hit play.

What does it actually take to build a brand that survives the modern internet? In this episode, we sit down with Ankit, a seasoned marketing agency founder, to pull back the curtain on the messy, unglamorous reality of Indian business.Ankit Saraf is the Founder of Meraqi Digital, one of Eastern India's leading and fastest-growing independent digital marketing consulting agencies based in Kolkata. A visionary marketer, Ankit holds a Master's in Advertising and Design from the University of Leeds and brings over 13 years of cross-continental experience to the table. Before turning entrepreneur, he spent nearly a decade in London working with top-tier global agencies, leading highly impactful digital portfolios for iconic multinational giants including Budweiser, AB InBev Global, Sainsbury's, Procter & Gamble, and Olay. Driven by a desire to bring world-class marketing standards and international work culture to his hometown, he returned to India in 2016. Launching Meraqi Digital under challenging circumstances with an initial capital of just ₹20,000 in a small room, Ankit scaled the business rapidly, crossing ₹1 crore in revenue within 2.5 years. Today, he leads a robust, multi-award-winning team of over 40 digital natives, orchestrating digital transformations and growth strategy mandates for heavyweights like the RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group, WOW! Momo, Emami Group, and ITC Limited.From the toxic trap of chasing short-term viral trends to why legacy "boring" businesses quietly make the most money in India, this conversation is a masterclass for every modern founder, D2C marketer, and next-gen family business owner. If you are tired of surface-level startup advice and want real, data-backed insights on what actually drives sales and consumer sentiment, this episode is for you.Key Takeaways From This Episode:The Quick Commerce Illusion: Why the highly visible D2C brands you see all over social media are secretly bleeding money under the hood, while unsexy traditional businesses are booking massive profits.The Pan-India Scaling Trap: Why burning limited capital to target all of India on day one is a recipe for failure, and how to successfully build hyper-local validation first.Next-Gen Family Business Friction: A practical, zero-BS guide for young founders on how to introduce digital marketing to traditional parents without disrupting the legacy systems that already work.The "Fickle" Modern Marketer: Why chasing every single internet algorithm trend is ruining brand identity, and how legacy giants maintain deep consumer connections over decades.The Reality of AI in Agencies: How artificial intelligence is actively changing agency workflows, why it excels at boring data crunching, and why it will never replace raw human creative emotion.

Rylan Foltz went from JP Morgan analyst to independent wealth advisor to co-founding WealthFeed — a marketing and prospecting platform helping financial advisors find better clients faster using predictive analytics and behavioral data. In this episode, Rylan walks through the full arc of that journey and unpacks the strategic decisions that took WealthFeed from zero to thousands of advisors in just two years.Jeff and Rylan dig into why the wealth management industry is so underserved by marketing technology, the power of building bottom-up before going enterprise, how to make a SaaS product genuinely sticky in a regulated industry, and why your distribution moat matters more than your product moat in an era where anyone can spin up a competing product overnight.Whether you're a first-time founder trying to crack product-market fit, or a scaling SaaS leader thinking through enterprise sales cycles, pricing strategy, and team-building, this episode delivers actionable insight on all fronts.Key Takeaways3:47 — The Origin of WealthFeed Rylan realized as a practicing advisor that organic growth was the hardest part of the job — and that the wealth management industry had almost no structured approach to marketing. That gap became the business.6:15 — Why Finance Is Marketing's Last Frontier Advisors can name the big firms but not their local competitors. The industry is dominated by aging, lifestyle-mode advisors who stopped teaching growth tactics — leaving a giant opportunity for a niche marketing platform.10:39 — What's Old Is New Again WealthFeed offers machine-written handwritten notes that look like wedding invitations. In a world saturated with digital communication, old-school physical outreach is standing out again.11:22 — Stop Thinking Leads, Start Building Assets Advisors shouldn't buy leads — they should build a database audience the way Budweiser buys Super Bowl ads: consistent, compounding, ROI over time.13:01 — Niche Marketing Builds Trust Generic messaging ("I help with retirement planning") signals you don't know your prospect. Hyper-specific messaging ("I work exclusively with SaaS co-founders on RSUs and equity comp") creates immediate trust and relevance.14:12 — The All-in-One Platform Advantage WealthFeed layers CRM, outbound marketing (LinkedIn, email, direct mail, handwritten notes), and proprietary data into one workflow — so advisors don't stitch together five point solutions.17:41 — Simplicity Over Power at Launch Early on, feature overload slowed adoption. The lesson: launch with one compelling use case (for WealthFeed, inheritance lead data), get users in the door, then upsell from there.20:55 — Your Moat Is Your Distribution AI lets anyone copy a product in a weekend. What can't be copied overnight is your relationships, your user base, and the custom integrations you've built into a customer's workflow.25:03 — Bottom-Up Enterprise Strategy WealthFeed got traction by signing individual advisors first, letting the grassroots demand bubble up to management — which created enterprise deals without having to wait in long procurement queues.27:09 — Don't Hunt Elephants Until You Can Afford To Enterprise deals can drag for three years. Without revenue from individual and SMB customers, a startup can starve waiting for that one big contract to close.29:28 — Hybrid Pricing: Access Fee + Usage Credits Flat subscriptions don't work when one advisor sends 20,000 handwritten notes and another logs in once a month. A hybrid model lets you charge for scale without penalizing light users.31:28 — Price High, Discount Down Starting low and raising prices creates churn and resentment. Starting at a premium and offering a promotional discount sets expectations — customers know the real value from day one.33:19 — Balancing Founder Vision vs. Customer Feedback A 50/50 split: take customer input seriously, but don't become a yes-man. The most successful founders — especially those who've lived the problem — trust their forward vision even when customers can't yet see it.35:59 — Build Infrastructure Before You're Drowning WealthFeed hired sales, dev, and customer success earlier than felt necessary. That foundation is now why their customer success "outperforms anyone else in the industry."38:30 — Flatten the Org to Connect Dev and Customer Tech teams that never see how the product is used build the wrong things. WealthFeed has engineers sit in on sales calls so they understand why features matter, not just what to build.39:45 — Let Compliance Work With You, Not Against You Instead of pitching firms on new compliance workflows, WealthFeed integrates into whatever compliance process already exists — dramatically speeding up enterprise approvals.Tweetable Quotes"Your moat is your distribution. Go-to-market has gotten extremely valuable because you could almost create the product overnight." — Rylan Foltz"Stop thinking about leads. Start thinking about building an audience, a database, an asset for life." — Rylan Foltz"No one wants a generalist. Everyone wants the best knee surgeon in the country. As an advisor, you've got to become really niche-focused." — Rylan Foltz"Start your pricing high. You can always discount down. It's really hard to raise prices." — Rylan Foltz"It's easier to sell one flavor of ice cream and say it's the best than to offer 32 flavors and create option overload." — Rylan Foltz"What's old is new. Everything shifted to digital, so old-school processes are how you stand out now." — Rylan Foltz"You'll be most successful solving a problem you personally went through. It comes across in your sales, your fundraising, everything." — Rylan Foltz"Don't get too caught up in enterprise until you build up the user base. Get revenue first, then you can afford to chase the elephants." — Rylan FoltzSaaS Leadership Lessons1. Niche down relentlessly — and mean it. Rylan didn't just say "we focus on financial advisors." WealthFeed built every feature, every data layer, and every compliance workflow around that single ICP. The more specific your niche, the stronger your trust signal, the better your retention, and the harder you are to displace. Generalist products get commoditized. Specialists get embedded.2. Distribution is the real product. In a world where a working SaaS product can be replicated in a weekend, your go-to-market is your most defensible asset. Relationships, user base saturation within target firms, custom integrations, and compliance workflow ownership are what prevent a competitor from walking in and saying "we do the same thing." Build distribution as intentionally as you build product.3. Start simple — layer complexity after adoption. Feature-rich doesn't mean better. WealthFeed launched with one use case (inheritance lead data) and expanded from there. Getting a user in the door on one powerful idea is vastly easier than selling a full platform. Upselling to an existing user is far more efficient than converting a prospect who's overwhelmed at first glance.4. Build your team infrastructure earlier than you think you need it. Founders often hire only when they're already underwater. Rylan and his team built out sales, dev, and customer success before they felt the pressure — and that head start compounded into top-tier customer outcomes. Infrastructure built under stress tends to crack. Infrastructure built with intention scales.5. Price to your value, then offer strategic discounts. Starting low might feel like a growth hack, but it sets a price anchor that's almost impossible to raise without friction. Starting at a premium gives you room to discount strategically, run promos, and still maintain perceived value. Customers who came in knowing the "real" price won't balk at renewal the way customers who got a surprise price hike will.6. Close the gap between your builders and your buyers. One of WealthFeed's most impactful structural choices: having engineers sit in on sales calls. When the people building the product understand how it's actually used — and why it matters — they build better, faster, and with more empathy. Kill the wall between tech and go-to-market.

Jeremy Marshall from Lagunitas has brought their Trooper West Coast IPA to Brew Ha Ha with Herlinda Heras and Daedalus Howell. Jeremy was on Brew Ha Ha on this episode of November 22, 2018. Lagunitas is putting on an air guitar contest to celebrate the release of their Trooper West Coast IPA. Jeremy will pour from a growler of the Trooper West Coast IPA, drawn straight from the tank. The  air guitar championship is set for 6/6/26. That’s Saturday, June 6, 2026, the same day as the beer release. Herlinda will be one of the judges. It’s a collaboration with Iron Maiden lead singer Bruce Dickerson. He is a beer guy, an entrepreneur, and a motivational speaker too. To register as a contestant, you will need to provide your stage name. Sign up at Eventbrite right here under Lagunitas Trooper, or look on Instagram, Facebook. If you’re interested, act fast, since they will cap the number of contestants. The prize is an actual real guitar, a 50th anniversary edition Fender. Contestants must choose the song they will perform when they register. These are the three songs to choose from:– Hallowed Be Thy Name, 5 to 5½ minutes– Two Minutes to Midnight, 3 minutes– Phantom of the Opera, 6 minutes ++++++Visit Russian River Brewing Co. in Santa Rosa on 4th St. and at their big Windsor location. Check out their website and socials for up-to-date hours, menus, beers and more.++++++ A US Partner for Trooper Ale Robinsons Brewery in England was the first to give the name Trooper to their signature premium ale. There is also a Brazilian Trooper ale. So when Iron Maiden was searching for a US partner, Bruce’s son’s wife told Bruce that Lagunitas was the perfect fit. Eventually Jeremy went to meet them backstage after a concert. He brought a cooler full of samples to share with a who’s who of metal bands. He found that Bruce was quite articulate about what flavors he liked. The Lagunitas Trooper West Coast IPA uses a new hop called Krush. Jeremy likes its flavor profile. He tastes “weed, passion fruit, guava…”  It was HBC586 in development and now it's Krush. Watch out for a 100% Krush Beer for the radio station The Krush KRSH 95.9! Jeremy confirms that Heineken is letting Lagunitas be Lagunitas. Heineken is the only worldwide beer company that is still majority owned by the family. Jeremy went to UC Davis and studied brewing science. Michael Lewis and Charlie Bamforth were his teachers. They taught English ale styles, whereas Seibel in Germany is where to learn about lager beers. Lagers are a colder, longer stored style, like Coors Banquet or Budweiser. He describes the students at Davis as Beards versus Vests. Wine guys wore vests and beer guys had beards. Lager and Ale Compared to Lager, Ale is a little fruitier, and louder. If you hop it even more, you get to IPA. They are produced quicker and are more expressive and more popular in America. Wisconsin’s German-American community drove that city’s brewing history, so they made more German Lager styles. After UC Davis, Jeremy’s first beer gig was Lagunitas. Tony asked where else he sent the letter. He wrote to all the breweries that made the beer he drank at Davis. Most were Ales, like Arrogant Bastard from Stone. Jeremy has seen it all at Lagunitas. He knows that in the future, the successful breweries will have great focus and discipline. Other than Lagunitas, Russian River Brewing Co. is an example of that.

Why do low P/E stocks perform better in overpriced markets? We are currently in a momentum-driven market, and many people are experiencing FOMO, which is the fear of missing out. Much of this is being fueled by AI and technology stocks, where investors are willing to pay almost any price because they believe these industries will continue growing indefinitely and they don't want to miss the opportunity. The problem is that high P/E stocks and companies with no P/E since there are no earnings at all already have massive future success priced into them. When the market eventually declines, as it always does at some point, it is often because these high-flying companies miss lofty expectations. That can trigger major selloffs and sharp declines in stock prices. Low P/E stocks, on the other hand, typically have more modest growth expectations. Because expectations are lower, market downturns often have less impact on these companies. Many low P/E companies are also more mature businesses with stable cash flows, which tend to hold up better during slower economic periods. Examples include companies in consumer staples and financials. In addition, many low P/E stocks pay dividends, which can help stabilize returns and reduce volatility during uncertain markets. However, investors still need to be careful to avoid “value traps” which are companies with low P/E ratios that deserve to trade at low valuations. This is why understanding the “E” in the P/E ratio or the earnings is so important. You want to avoid investing in companies with declining businesses and shrinking earnings potential. Think about companies like Polaroid or Blockbuster, which failed to adapt as their industries changed. It's also important to remember that market cycles play out over years, not weeks or months. Just because a strategy has worked well for a couple of years doesn't mean it will continue indefinitely. For example, it took roughly five years for the tech boom to fully unravel during the dot-com bubble.   Is Your Beer Budget Feeling the Gas Pump? If your beer fridge has been looking a little emptier lately, you're not alone and the culprit might not be your willpower. New Nielsen scanner data shows that U.S. beer, hard seltzer, and cider volumes dropped 6.3% year over year through the week ending May 2, both on a two- and four-week trailing basis. This was nearly double the 3% declines seen between November and mid-April. What's driving it? Analysts at Bernstein are pointing straight at the gas pump. There's a clear negative correlation between gas prices in a given state and beer volume growth, and it's becoming more visible in the data, particularly in markets with the most expensive fuel. Average U.S. gasoline prices have risen roughly 52% since the start of the Iran war, according to AAA. That's a serious hit to household budgets and it shows. California, with fuel averaging around $6.16 per gallon, saw a 16% decline in beer volumes. Arizona and Texas weren't far behind, posting declines of 10% and nearly 7%, respectively. Convenience stores seem to be seeing the brunt of the decline as they are highly sensitive to gas station traffic and impulse purchases tied to commuting and travel. Not every brand is suffering equally. Michelob Ultra is holding relatively flat, while Bud Light and Budweiser are posting double-digit volume declines. Boston Beer remains the weakest performer among major brewers.   Information is starting to trickle in about the SpaceX IPO The SpaceX IPO is expected to be the largest initial public offering on record, with the potential to raise $80 billion or more through the stock sale. Based on the information currently available, SpaceX is expected to begin its roadshow around June 4th, which could place the public offering date near June 12th. The company is expected to trade under the ticker symbol SPCX on the Nasdaq, as well as Nasdaq Texas, which would represent a significant blow to the New York Stock Exchange. If you plan to read the entire prospectus, be prepared to invest some time. The filing totals 277 pages, not including notes and exhibits. By comparison, a typical IPO prospectus is usually fewer than 200 pages. Financial data shows that in 2025, SpaceX generated revenue of $18.7 billion, an increase of 33% over the previous year. However, earnings declined sharply, with the company reporting a net loss of $4.9 billion compared with a profit of $791 million in 2024. Unsurprisingly, Elon Musk will serve as CEO. Goldman Sachs is expected to lead the offering alongside Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Citigroup, and JPMorgan Chase. Given the size of the deal, it will certainly be interesting to see how all five firms work together. As more important information becomes available, we will continue to keep you updated.   Financial Planning: The Breakeven on Social Security Many people look at their Social Security statement and perform a breakeven analysis to determine how long they would have to live for waiting to claim benefits to pay off. These simple calculations often suggest that claiming at 62 is best if life expectancy is less than around 78, claiming at full retirement age around 67 makes sense if life expectancy is between 78 and 82, and waiting until 70 is best if someone expects to live beyond 82. The problem is that this type of analysis is often too simplistic and can be misleading. Most breakeven calculations only compare the total dollars received at different claiming ages and ignore several important factors. First, Social Security benefits continue to receive annual Cost-of-Living Adjustments (COLAs), whether benefits are started early or delayed. Second, no one truly knows how long they will live, so any breakeven age is really just an estimate. Most importantly, many analyses ignore the time value of money. If someone starts benefits earlier, they may be able to reduce withdrawals from other retirement assets, allowing those investments more time to grow and potentially generate additional future income. When you factor in both Social Security COLAs and the potential return that could be earned on invested assets, the breakeven age often moves much later than people expect. In many cases, it can take well into someone's 90s or beyond before delaying benefits actually produces a greater overall financial benefit. That does not mean taking benefits early is always the best choice, but it does show that Social Security decisions should be based on an overall retirement income strategy rather than a simple breakeven calculation alone.   Companies Discussed: Versant Media Group, Inc.

[REPLAY] This week, check out a podcast featured in PLRB's new PACE Program: "The new PLRB Advanced Coverage Education (PACE) designation is more than a credential. It's a powerful way to strengthen your claims expertise. PACE begins with a Core Curriculum that builds a foundation in insurance basics and the claims process. From there, professionals can grow through Business LineTracks that support field-specific development, and Claims Intensives that dive deeper into essential topics like fraud and ethics. Developed with PLRB's long‑standing commitment to high‑quality education, PACE helps claims professionals work with greater clarity, consistency, and confidence. And because certification courses are included in PLRB Membership, with discounted designation fees, it's a valuable investment in both employee development and organizational success. PACE supports professionals at every stage of their careers and helps teams work more confidently and efficiently."     A brewery owner had bollards installed outside the building for safety purposes. One day a teenager veered off the road into one of the bollards, damaging it and the car. The adjuster is wondering if there should be no coverage on the basis that a bollard is a fence.   Notable Timestamps [ 00:26 ] - The building owner submits the claim to their property insurer, looking for coverage for a new bollard. They have a standard CP 00 10 10 12, which does not include coverage for fences if the cause of loss was an accidental vehicle crash.  [ 01:34 ] - Trivia time! What is a "pub" short for? How many Clydesdales are hitched to the Budweiser wagon? Lite beer was introduced into the U.S. in what decade? [ 04:15 ] - A bollard is a short pole or stump placed to prevent vehicle access without preventing pedestrian access. These may be seen at the entrances to bike paths, or out in front of buildings or arenas. [ 05:40 ] - Under the CP form, a bollard would initially fit under building coverage as an external fixture. Fences are excluded except for certain types of losses (not including this kind of loss). [ 07:30 ] - A line of bollards, like a fence, is something like a barrier that marks a boundary. But, there is no continuity between posts, and it does not prevent pedestrian access. [ 09:11 ] - A historic moment: the team agrees on something! [ 09:37 ] - Courts typically do not construe ambiguous exclusions broadly. "If it's gray, you must pay." [ 10:40 ] - Declarations Pages are typically more detailed in CP forms, and often include small structures. However, at least one court chose not to penalize an insured for failing to list a series of (light) posts. [ 12:26 ] - If a Declarations Page lists most structures specifically but omits some, that may create an issue for the insured. [ 13:25 ] - Strong subrogration potential exists here against the driver. [ 14:30 ] - A cement block wall was considered a fence... at least according to a 1959 case, and under a grant of coverage which is typically construed more broadly. [ 16:40 ] - Tim provides a recap of the scenario and the points above.

Most ideas don't fail because they're bad. They fail because nobody saw the genius. This week, Mike welcomes Neal Foard, a 25-year advertising veteran who has crafted award-winning campaigns for Budweiser, Lexus, Sony, and Toyota. His international work earned him a spot among the top 10 most decorated creative directors in the world. Today, Neal advises Fortune 500 companies, universities, and even governments on the art of persuasive messaging, has graced the TEDx stage multiple times, and has built a massive following with viral videos that have moved millions with stories of everyday human kindness. Here's the scoop: you can't bullet-point somebody into a yes. Neal has spent decades learning that whether you're pitching a board, walking into a car dealership, or shooting a Super Bowl spot, the message lives or dies on the showmanship around it. And in this episode, he hands listeners the playbook. Neal opens with the loophole that changed his career: watching brilliant ideas get killed by bad delivery. He breaks down a pitch he stopped mid-presentation by simply asking, "Where did I go wrong?" and why that one move turned a failure into a long-term win. He shares the genius coaching note he gave to a pharma chemist that quietly transformed the entire dynamic of a sales meeting. And he walks through how his agency turned every client pitch into a five-senses experience, because how you do anything is how they assume you do everything. The conversation also goes deep into brand storytelling. Neal unpacks the legendary Procter & Gamble #BecauseOfMom Sochi 2014 spot, why Steve Jobs's "bicycle for your brain" line outsold every spec sheet Apple ever wrote, and what Dan Campbell's Detroit Lions can teach any business about loyalty. He shares the Tokyo Restaurant of Mistaken Orders, an old folktale about a leaky bucket, and why Toyota's 2009 recall response is still the gold standard for crisis communication. He closes with the difference between a brand that has core values and one that just decorates with them, plus what Tesla, Liquid Death, and Anheuser-Busch can teach you about staying on-brand when the pressure is on. If you sell, lead, present, or build a brand, this one is required listening.   Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Procter & Gamble #BecauseOfMom Sochi 2014 spot Grant Cardone Book: If You're Not First, You're Last   Connect with Neal: Website YouTube  LinkedIn  Instagram TikTok   Connect with Mike: LinkTree   SPONSORS: Social Chameleon | Transform Your Podcast Want to become a show sponsor or affiliate?
