What if the real power in Africa's startup ecosystem isn't capital — but control of the narrative?This episode is a reckoning with how stories are told, who gets to tell them, and what gets left out. Andile Masuku, co-founder of African Tech Roundup, joins us to unpack the tension between media, community, and innovation — and why reclaiming the narrative is essential if we're serious about building an ecosystem that serves people, not just platforms.Andile has spent nearly a decade documenting the evolution of the continent's tech space. But he's also challenged it — asking hard questions about who gets visibility, whose voices are missing, and whether we're building systems that truly serve people.We unpack:Why African Tech Roundup chose depth over scale — and what that reveals about community buildingThe media's role in either amplifying hype or holding power to accountHow "community" has become a buzzword — and how to reclaim its real meaningThe tension between storytelling, influence, and impactWhy building with integrity means being willing to disrupt your own comfort

In this episode of Conceptually Speaking, I sit down with Marcus Luther, a 13th-year high school English teacher and co-host of The Broken Copier podcast. After spending his first eight years teaching in Arkansas, Marcus recently returned to the Pacific Northwest, bringing with him a wealth of classroom experience and a passion for teacher-centered conversations. Our discussion explores the evolving landscape of teacher community-building, from the early days of Teacher Twitter to the current fractured digital spaces where educators seek connection and growth.Key Concepts from the Episode:The Digital Teacher's LoungeHow online spaces can recreate the collaborative spirit of in-person professional learning communitiesMoving beyond transactional networking toward authentic relationship-buildingThe role of digital platforms in sustaining teacher enthusiasm and preventing isolationCommunities of PracticeUnderstanding teaching as fundamentally community work that extends beyond school wallsThe "generosity journey" of sharing resources and learning from fellow educatorsBalancing local collegial relationships with broader professional networksStorytelling and ResistanceAddressing the vacuum of positive narratives about classroom possibilitiesThe urgent need to highlight what's working in public educationUsing authentic teacher voices to counter deficit-based reform narrativesNavigating Professional BoundariesManaging the relationship between classroom practice and public educator identityThe ethics of sharing experiences while maintaining privacySetting sustainable limits on development and growth outside the classroomMarcus brings a refreshing perspective on how educators can remain committed to the classroom while recognizing the power of broader professional community. His conviction that we need to tell better stories about the transformative potential of teaching offers hope in an era of educational uncertainty. Whether you're an early-career teacher seeking community or a veteran educator looking to reinvigorate your practice, this conversation demonstrates how authentic professional relationships can sustain both individual growth and collective advocacy for the teaching profession.Links:https://thebrokencopier.substack.com/https://web-cdn.bsky.app/profile/marcusluther.bsky.social Support the show

What if your social media experience weren't controlled by an algorithm or a corporation, but by your community? That's the idea behind Blacksky, a decentralized project built on the AT Protocol — the same infrastructure powering Bluesky. Though their names contain the same suffix, it's important to know that Blacksky is not hitching its wagon to the Bluesky app, team or platform. The community, helmed by founder and CEO Rudy Fraser, is charting an independent and ideally replicable path, the kind that's only possible in an open-source ecosystem.   In this episode of Dot Social, Fraser takes host Mike McCue under the hood of Blacksky's infrastructure, philosophy, and future plans. Highlights include discussions of:Mutual aid and community buildingThe value of portable identityLessons from running Blacksky so farModeration, tools and business modelsBuilding for longevityMentioned in this episode:Rudy's ATmosphere conference talk, “Beyond Horseless Carriages”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZN8y8kVFFIRudy's blog post, “An internet of many autonomous communities”: https://blog.rudyfraser.com/an-internet-of-many-autonomous-communities/Blacksky Labeler: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:d2mkddsbmnrgr3domzg5qexfCypher: https://github.com/blacksky-algorithms/rsky/tree/main/cypherRsky-Relay: https://github.com/blacksky-algorithms/rsky/pull/87SAFEskies: https://github.com/blacksky-algorithms/SAFEskiesNew Yorker article mentioning Rudy: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2025/04/14/blueskys-quest-to-build-nontoxic-social-media

Groundbreaking Digital Frontier or 80s Tech Fantasy?Join hosts Krissy Lenz and Nathan Blackwell with special guest Joe Malone as they venture into the neon-lit digital world of Tron (1982). This revolutionary sci-fi adventure follows computer programmer Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges) as he's transported inside a computer system where he must battle alongside Tron against the tyrannical Master Control Program.The hosts dive deep into what makes this film a landmark in cinema history—it was the first major film to use extensive computer-generated imagery, so groundbreaking that the Academy disqualified it from special effects nominations because they considered using computers "cheating." Despite its commercial underperformance, the film's arcade games became massive hits, showcasing its cultural impact.Joe shares his fascinating journey with the film, initially creating a list titled "Why I Hate It" after his first viewing, only to create a contrasting "Why I Actually Really Like It" list after his second watch. The hosts agree that while the narrative sometimes falls flat and the graphics appear dated by today's standards, the film deserves recognition for pioneering digital filmmaking and presciently exploring AI concerns that remain relevant today.Nathan, a childhood fan, rates it 7.5/10 "frisbees," while newfound Tron defender Joe gives it 7.6, and Krissy lands at 6.5, noting that even her cat refused to watch it with her.Key topics discussed:Jeff Bridges' performance and undeniable charmThe revolutionary computer graphics and special effectsThe film's religious undertones with users portrayed as godlike beingsThe iconic Light Cycle sequencesSimilarities to Star Wars' narrative structureConnections to modern concerns about artificial intelligenceThe unusual costume designs and world-buildingThe surprising romantic "threpple" dynamics between charactersThe episode concludes with movie recommendations including Blade Runner (1982), WarGames (1983), and Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004) as companions to Tron. Whether you're a devoted fan or new to this digital frontier, this episode illuminates why Tron remains a fascinating artifact of early digital filmmaking and 80s sci-fi imagination. --We couldn't do this without your support of The Most Excellent 80s Movies Podcast!

Despite these hurdles, Toyota, Nissan, Honda, and General Motors have emerged as top performers in the WRI. Toyota, in particular, saw another significant 30-point increase, reflecting their strong culture of continuous improvement and respect for people, known as The Toyota Way.They discuss General Motors, which has shown steady improvement despite leadership changes. Dave credits the company's progress to the consistent focus on supplier relations by successive Vice Presidents of Purchasing. Sig emphasizes that GM's efforts under leaders like Steve Kiefer have embedded supplier relationship management deeply into the company's culture.Jan and Dave then address the decline in Ford's ratings, attributing it to organizational challenges and a more command-and-control purchasing style. Sig warns that Ford's recent UAW negotiations and slower-than-expected EV adoption rates add to their struggles.On a brighter note, Stellantis shows signs of improvement under Marlo Vitous's leadership despite a rocky past with supplier relations. However, Jan questions how much Stellantis's top executives value the WRI.In their closing comments, Dave and Sig reflect on the industry's future and the need for change. Dave emphasizes adapting business practices to navigate uncertain technology trends and regulatory issues. Sig highlights the industry's resilience, stressing that collaboration and trust with suppliers are crucial for overcoming challenges.Themes discussed in this episode:Understanding the significance of the Automotive OEM-Supplier Working Relations Index (WRI) Study as a tool for assessing industry performance and supplier relationsAddressing electrification, supply chain disruptions, and cost inflation and their impact on OEM-supplier relationshipAnalyzing the cultural and organizational elements that contribute to Toyota's enduring success, including continuous improvement, respect for people, and long-term relationship-buildingThe influence of leadership changes, such as Vice Presidents of Purchasing, on supplier relations and organizational performanceFord's decline in WRI scores and the organizational issues contributing to challenges in supplier relations and performanceThe role of effective communication in fostering strong relationships between OEMs and suppliers.The importance of trust and collaboration between OEMs and suppliers in navigating future challenges.Featured guest: Dave AndreaWhat he does: Dave Andrea leads the

While we have previously explored the question of narcissism and the dark triad of personality traits on the Brain for Business podcast, the question of how narcissistic leaders impact on overall organisational performance is something we are yet to consider in great detail. Yet this is exactly what our guests today, Professor Thanos Verousis of Vlerick Business School and Professor Pietro Perotti of the University of Bath, examine in a recent paper co-authored with Shee-Yee Khoo of Bangor Business School and Richard Watermeyer of the University of Bristol. To do this they examine the narcissism of university vice chancellors in the context of the overall performance of their universities. While this might perhaps seem a little obscure to those outside academia, Vice Chancellors are ultimately the CEOs of large and complex organisations and the transferrable insights are many.Key findings include:The appointment of a highly narcissistic VC leads to an overall deterioration in research and teaching performance and concomitantly league table performanceKey potential mechanisms explaining this include excessive financial risk taking and empire-buildingThe findings are consistent with the view that narcissism is one of the most prominent traits of destructive leadershipThere are practical implications for leadership recruitment and the monitoring of leadership practices in the higher education sector The article discussed - Vice-chancellor narcissism and university performance – can be accessed here: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0048733323001853 About our guests…Thanos Verousis is a Professor in Sustainable Finance at Vlerick Business School, Associate Editor at the Journal of Futures Markets and the European Journal of Finance.

If you're struggling with getting podcast hosts to accept you as a guest, this is something that you wouldn't want to miss!On this episode of The Company Show, we're joined by Kris Ward—a master in guest pitching (among other things). How is she a master, you ask?She developed a guest pitching strategy with an 80% acceptance rate.Kris Ward is a systems person to her bones and has built a company around helping people build the teams and processes they need to make all areas of their business, including podcasting and podcast pitching, smoother and less time-consuming. She is the author of Win the Hour, Win the Day, and host of a podcast by the same name.If you want to learn and use her strategies for yourself, listen to our conversation, or continue reading the blog post!Tune in to the full episode to learn about:How to streamline and batch your podcast pitchingWorkflow tactics for effective relationship buildingThe right way to grow your network through podcastingPitching and relationship-building mistakes that podcasters makeDon't forget to join us for our free monthly strategy calls on the third Thursday of every month!Podcast Guest Pitching: An OverviewIt's no secret that one of the best ways to get listeners to your podcast is to be a guest on other people's shows. There are a couple of reasons for this:If you're a guest on someone's podcast, they've already validated that what you have to say will be of interest to their audience.It's much easier to get a podcast listener to add a new show to their roster than to explain to someone how podcasts work and how to listen to them.But pitching can be time-consuming and sometimes, fraught with rejection, awkwardness, and asks within the process that seem downright unreasonable.Good systems and processes make everything in your business easier - podcasting is no exception, and neither is getting more traction and visibility by appearing on more shows.If you've been podcasting for more than a minute, you've probably received plenty of pitches. I'd wager most of them have kind of sucked.While there are excellent, high-quality podcast booking agencies (Like Angie Trueblood's company, The Podwize Group, many PR and other promotional firms offer guest pitching services that amount to no more than a copy-and-paste message emailed to literally every podcast with the right category on Apple or Spotify. They suck, and they're annoying, and the conversion rates can't be that good.With that said, here is how you can streamline and batch your podcast pitching process.Kris Ward's Highly Replicable Guest Pitching StrategyYou or someone on your team researches complementary shows, either by Googling or by following the trail of other podcasts your own guests have been on.You listen to the shows that are of the most interest - at least a couple of episodes, and determine what topic would be a great fit for each one.Write an honest review on Apple or another platform about why you like the show.Record a short video using Loom or your phone, depending on your setup, with the podcaster's name in the frame, and their show on a computer in the background. In the video be sincere about what you liked, why you think you'd be a good fit, and what you'd like to talk about.Send the video to the podcaster via LinkedIn or email.The Advantages of Kris Ward's Unique Video PitchWhen I received Kris Ward's video pitch, it immediately struck me as sincere. She had genuinely listened to at least an episode, which is a huge one, since a lot of people skip this step.Kris's videos are purposeful, well-crafted, and highly curated.Here's how Kris does the videos:The first thing she does is hold up the host's name on a tablet. She then goes: So you see, this is not a generic pitch. Here's your name. Obviously, I put effort into this.She also has a computer behind showing their podcast. It implies she was in the middle of listening to it and turned around and did a pitch. The guest is going to be stimulated by the fact that there's your name and there's your picture.Then when the host opens the video, she opens up with something like: What I'm about to say, I think, has a lot of weight to it because I would describe myself as a podcast junkie. And when I tripped across your show… and then she starts listing the things she like about the host's show.“If you can't find something to like about their show, then don't pitch them. But I believe you can always find something.”She then goes: Listen, I think you and I could have a really meaty conversation that would be of great value to your audience. She then mentions her book, the backstory, and how it would really lean into the host's bigger messaging.An example is when she's pitching somebody about a marketing show. The host might think systems and processes and building a team and getting 25 hours back a week aren't about branding or marketing. But Kris tells the host that she can help their people get time back so they can do the marketing that you want to talk to them about on the other shows.In short, Kris leans into the host's bigger message instead of saying all the things that she could talk about.Kris's Networking Spreadsheet That You Can ReplicateKris Ward has a spreadsheet called Kris's Network. After the show, whether she's hosted it or she's been on it, the person will be added to the network.Now, here are some things that are really important. Kris will put their name, and she'll put an interesting or fun fact about the person. Her team will then take a picture of the guest/host and put that on the spreadsheet. Because we often forget names, but we remember faces.(This was prompted when Kris had two marketers on her show. Both had red hair, both their names started with M and she got them mixed up.)This spreadsheet has been a game changer for Kris Ward as it allowed her to maintain relationships in a more personal way because of the personalized notes that she has.One way she utilizes the spreadsheet is by going through the whole list and sending the guests/hosts a personalized message about something she remembered about them, or a message of hope or luck for an endeavor that they talked about.4 Mistakes Podcasters Make with Guest Pitching and Relationships1. Spammy referral practicesThere's this whole thing where people refer you to a podcast, and then they ask you for four or five referrals before you even meet them, and then you start getting blitzed. It's insane, it's abusive, it's spammy. Definitely avoid this.Referrals should be done in a very strategic and gentle way. Your awesome guest or host knows other awesome people but you shouldn't force the connection. But if you do get it, that also strengthens your relationship with them.2. Rotating your relationshipsAfter a new episode, we can become best friends with the host or guest for a week or two. But then another guest comes and we lose touch with the previous person because there was no reason to connect.This is not the way to maintain relationships. You could be losing relationships just by being too busy or occupied. One way to battle this is by using a networking spreadsheet just like Kris's.3. Being genericPeople put a pitch out and it's so generic because they're trying to cover everything and they're listing all their accomplishments and all the things that they could talk about, which may not fit the show at all.Your personality should always shine and you're not getting any of that from the written page from somebody else. No one wants to read long paragraphs filled with links. A solution to this is Kris's video pitch method.4. Saying too muchDon't focus on how great you are and show all your accomplishments. Show the podcast host how your or your knowledge fit into their agenda. The less you say, the more powerful it is.The Philosophy Behind Kris Ward's SystemsKris believes that your business should support your life, not consume it—and it should be fun. Otherwise, you could have stayed at the job that had better hours or a higher hourly rate because you're not working as many hours you had no overhead.She also talks about the 60-40 rule. We should be in 60% creative mode and 40% admin mode. And we always want to be compressing the work so we can move on to the next creation.That's what an entrepreneur is all about—getting to the next idea and getting that idea into execution. Somebody doing better in business than you is just getting their idea to execution faster. They're not smarter than you, but they're not held up.Kris Ward's Takes on Podcasting for BusinessWhy podcast?For me, my podcast is a funnel to grow my network, which grows my net worth and to be maintaining relationships and growing my community even if I got no business out of it, which has not been the case.But even if I didn't, now I am connecting with more and more people who have had a significant interaction with me. And as long as I maintain those relationships, it really is unbelievably powerful.The other benefits of podcastingI get free coaching from fascinating people on subjects that maybe I wouldn't even have known, never mind to ask. Like, sometimes I'll learn stuff that I didn't even know I didn't know, and I'm getting it for free. And I'm building a relationship with these people. So my network has grown considerably.What podcast should support your business?I wasn't going to make a podcast that would be about productivity or efficiencies or systems because the people who need that are not going to listen to that. Somebody who's in shape does not listen to fitness hacks and podcasts, and they're in shape.So then we decided to make my podcast anything from sales to social media, that it was really just going to be me talking business. And frankly, what it's turned out to be is the biggest gift to my business ever because we set it up a couple of different ways.ConclusionThe processes don't stop at the pitch! If your main goal with your podcast is relationship building (as many are), then the pitch is only the first step of many when it comes to creating a strong foundation.As we talk about within the Business Podcast Blueprints, a relationship-building podcast is primarily a vehicle to grow your professional network. Check out our previous episode Metrics that Matter for Company Podcasts, and my conversation with Jason Cercone, all about optimizing your workflows and relationships!There is the invitation itself - and Kris's strategy is a winner here, then the call, to which you should arrive on time, prepared and ready to promote if it's relevant to your own audience, and the follow-up.Following up is a place where we often fall down, which Kris points out - relationships take time and effort to become strong, and you should have a system to help keep you on track with them. Kris describes her networking spreadsheet, and Jenny Blake, author of Free Time and Pivot has a wonderful “Keep In Touch” Notion method.After Kris and I recorded our conversation, she surprised and impressed me again with an immediate LinkedIn post announcing the call and that it would be coming out in the future. As a podcast host, the entire process was easy, pleasant, and resulted in the excellent information you've listened to today.A++, 10/10 would recommend.Key Quotes“Somebody doing better in business than you is just getting their idea to execution faster.

It's about creating a community where individuals can connect personally, forging meaningful relationships beyond business. That is why BX Networking stands out from other traditional networking groups. Matt's vision is to provide a space where members can participate as little or as much as they want, attend different locations, and build referral partnerships outside the room.  Join Vinay Koshy as he dives deep into the mind of Matt Alderton, a leader who understands the true essence of time, the magic of building referral relationships, and the power of surrounding oneself with the right people. Matt Alderton is a passionate entrepreneur and business coach who dedicated his career to helping people develop and achieve their fullest potential. With over 15 years of experience managing teams and running various businesses, Matt has learned the importance of surrounding oneself with the right people for success. After facing his challenges and realizing the impact of having a strong support system, Matt founded BX, a business support network that aims to help small businesses grow and thrive.  What started as an education-focused platform quickly evolved into a community of like-minded individuals across Australia, the US, Canada, and Europe. Matt believes business success comes from building strong relationships and doing business with people rather than just businesses. Through BX, he provides resources, networking opportunities, and referrals to help entrepreneurs achieve their business goals. Matt's dedication and commitment to helping others have made him a respected figure in the business world, and his work with BX has garnered incredible success over the past eight years. Some areas we explore in this episode include: The importance of prioritizing time as a reflection of how we prioritize peopleThe benefits of giving time to others and the concept of reciprocityThe impact of size on referral relationships and the role they play in business growthThe benefits of being part of a network of business owners and the framework it providesThe potential return on investment from networking and referral marketingThe importance of surrounding oneself with the right people and the regrets of not doing so in the pastThe creation of BX Networking and its focus on relationship-based referrals and community buildingThe success and structure of BX Networking events, including open networking, introductions, member presentations, and one-on-one catch-upsThe value and effectiveness of referral relationships and the need for a structured planThe unique approach of BX Networking and its value proposition for membersThe focus on referral marketing and building partnerships with complementary businesses for high ROI marketingThe importance of discipline in business and prioritizing essential tasksThe power of referrals in a B2B context and the statistics supporting their effectiveness

You've probably heard me (and many of my guests) talk about letting go of the idea that you can control your teen or young adult child.  This is so hard to do, for obvious reasons, and parents who struggle with this have some valid questions: Isn't it our job to protect our kids at all costs? If I stop confronting these problems, isn't that just avoidance? How is this different from just giving up?My guest today says that these questions miss an important paradox: The more we let go of controlling behavior (which often doesn't work anyway), the more opportunity we have to gain real influence – especially with skills like Motivational Interviewing.Dr. Emily Kline received her Ph.D. from the University of Maryland, following up with clinical and post-doc training at Harvard Medical School.  She has presented to audiences all over the world on the topics of mental health and interpersonal communication. Her new book and (free!) E-course is titled The School of Hard Talks.I've been seeing Emily's name everywhere lately and I'm excited to finally bring you this conversation, in which we discuss:How Motivational Interviewing can help us give up control in exchange for influenceOne big reason adolescents and young adults can be self-destructiveSome go-to phrases to facilitate low-conflict discussion and relationship buildingThe podcast is now part of a nonprofit called Hopestream Community: www.hopestreamcommunity.orgLearn about The Stream, our private online community for moms, at www.thestreamcommunity.comWe now have a new community for dads parenting a child who struggles with substance use and mental health; The Woods: members.thewoodscommunity.orgFind us on Instagram: @hopestreamcommunityDownload my free e-book, HINDSIGHT: Three Things I Wish I Knew When My Son Was Misusing Drugs: www.brendazane.com/hindsightJoin my email list: www.brendazane.com/email

EXPLICIT WARNING - This episode contains descriptions of a shooting from a Police video and expletive language. Parental discretion is advised.By now you've heard the news out of Nashville about the shooting that killed 6, including 3 children, at Covenant School.This week the guys watch the body cam footage provided by the Metro Nashville PD. In the video linked HERE we watch as 4 year Officer Rex Engelbert goes from putting his vehicle into park to engaging the shooter inside of three and a half minutes. Shortly after that we see the footage from another Officer, Michael Collazo, as they rapidly redeploy after hearing shots fired.Watching this video isn't easy and perhaps listening to us critique it isn't easy either but this is the closest you'll get to being on the line for an active shooter before being there yourself.We at WYE are proud to vaguely associate ourselves with these brave Officers and know full well how foolish we sound days after the fact from the comforts of our homes. We also know how important it is to share real life experiences, not just the same drill over and over and over again. But judging from what we saw, that training is paying off.Great work Officers, first round is on us when you're in town.This week we discuss:How methodical Engelbert is when forming his team, gathering intel from the woman outside and grabbing keys to the buildingThe hand signals and physical indicators of team movementJust how fast we've become as a professional in addressing this kind of threatWhy it was so important for NPD to release this video so quicklySupport the showJoin our Facebook Community!Buy us a beer!Email Us!

What's up everyone, today we're taking a dive into the world of dashboard building.Startups may not always have the luxury of having a dedicated data analyst on staff, which means marketers may need to get more hands-on with data. Yeah I haven't had the data analyst luxury in my career very often! In episode 38, we discussed marketing reporting and how you can use key reports to help highlight impact and find new opportunities. But we're not talking about reports here right?That's right, dashboards aren't reports. They are living breathing snapshots of key areas you want to keep an eye on in your business.Yeah I think a lot of people don't make that distinction and just assume reports = dashboards = chart. Where should marketers be starting? With charts?Scatter plots, bar charts, pie charts, maps, funnels, box plots… There's a bunch of different chart types and visualizations at your disposal when you're designing your dashboard, but this isn't where you should start.Here's today's main takeaway: When designing a dashboard, it's important to focus on the decisions you want to make, rather than just the metrics you want to track. Before building your dashboard, consider your audience and bring together the right people to answer key questions. This will help you create a prototype of your first version.Dashboard projects are close to both of our hearts. Both having worked for Klipfolio (a dashboard SaaS for startups and SMBs), we've spent a fair amount of time researching and writing about the internal dashboard building process.There's obviously a critical collaboration piece to this that would be an initial starting point for anyone taking on a dashboard project. Yeah one thing we always said about building good dashboards is that it takes a village.So Phil, you've actually led the charge in this area at a few startups. What are some of the questions you should be asking as a marketer to get started?Questions before buildingThe first questions to tackle as a team are: What metrics would you look at on a regular basis to measure performance and determine areas for growth? What metrics do you care about the most?So ultimately, this depends entirely on your team goals and the top priority metrics we've selected as a group. These goals further inform how to prioritize views and metrics in our dashboard. What does this group of stakeholders look like when you're starting to build things?Stakeholder groups: Main viewers: Who will be digesting or regularly looking at the dashboard Marketing Ops/Data Ops: What resources to you have to help you build the dashboard Designer and point person: Who's scoping out the dashboard and driving project management as well as designing the end dashboard Admittedly, in startup land, you'll likely be wearing all three hats. I know I have. But in bigger teams, you're working with a lot more moving pieces. Yeah I've gotten a taste of both of these. Small teams and bigger teams. There's advantages to both. But I think regardless, it's important to get a lay of the land first.Yeah it might be helpful to walk through an example. You've been pretty deep in lifecycle marketing in your career. Maybe give us a real life example wearing a lifecycle hat. So Phil, you're Director of lifecycle and you're tasked with building out a lifecycle dashboard.Here's a list of example questions to ask yourself and stakeholders Yeah I like the lifecycle example actually. It's broad enough to touch most parts of marketing so I can  use it as goal posts as we unpack some of this stuff.Your goal with these questions is to figure out what metrics we care about the most, getting a benchmark and establishing a goal for each of these metrics and how they have been trending over time. Current segment/vertical data we get on signups, are there specific segments we know we want to grow? Current lead scoring on signup events, are we scoring leads based on email and domain and any other data we might be collecting? What's the current activation rates of signups after the first email, what's our deliverability rate on the first email to signups? Are there specific lifecycle status labels that we are currently using, ie Content lead/subscriber > Signup > Active/published site > Upgraded. Do we currently have micro stages/do we care about this detail, ie in between signup and active we might have, installed theme, created a page and created a menu. Do we currently have the ability to attribute multi touch events for email engagements? Meaning, if a signup opens a pricing email on day 4 and they click the plans link and they buy 2 hours later, is that email getting $%? With all of this information on hand, or at least identifying areas of focus and priority metrics, you can then start scoping out the first prototype of the dashboard, intentionally with too much information, with the hopes of cutting things out in following iterations. Exactly. Next we can talk about metrics that flow in from those questions. What metrics you should consider for the first prototypeThe critical piece of this phase is to spend time understanding the most important things to monitor and give ourselves time to explore different ideas before rolling out a finished dashboard.Here are the core areas of a lifecycle dashboard, with a focus on conversion rates, starting at signups (explicitly did not scope content lead > signup): Signups, signups by segment, signups by lead score Confirmations, signups > confirmation %, deliverability Active (published a site) Behaviors (installed a theme, >2 pages, menu) Email metrics, engagement score, top emails, ab tests Conversions to plans, signups > conversions %, % in first 30 days, % after 30 days Upgrades, plan breakdown Revenue impact Yeah that's a lot obviously, depends how long you want your dashboard to be but we're still in the prototype phase here so more is better and you can always remove stuff later or create a second dashboard.The main takeaway of this episode though as we said is that When designing a dashboard, it's important to focus on the decisions you want to make, rather than just the metrics you want to track.So how do we do that?Focus on the decisions you want to makeSomething we want to keep in mind as we narrow the list of important metrics are the decisions we want to be able to make. The goal of our example dashboard is to monitor the lifecycle marketing performance and identify growth opportunities. That means answering questions like: Are we improving sign up engagement and conversions over time?  Are specific segments or campaigns driving better conversion rates than others? Should we double down or kill this experiment/email So ultimately, the focus of the dashboard should be on Signups > activated(published site) rates and Signups > upgrade conversion rates in the first x days and the viewers should be able to see the impact across the funnel over time. So now that you have a better idea of all the metrics you want to start with, one of the next steps you can start thinking about is chart types, how you'd like to ideally display your data.Choosing chart typesScatter plots, bar charts, pie charts, maps, funnels, box plots… There's a bunch of different chart types and visualizations at your disposal when you're designing your dashboard, but this isn't where you should start.Dataschool has an awesome guide on picking charts:Choosing the right chart types is an important step in the process of designing a dashboard. The right chart types can help to convey information effectively, and can make the dashboard more engaging and intuitive. However, choosing the wrong chart types can lead to confusion, misinterpretation, or even misinformation.When choosing chart types for a dashboard, it is important to consider the goals and objectives of the dashboard, and the audience for whom it is intended. Different chart types are suitable for different types of data, and for different purposes. For example, scatter plots are useful for showing the relationship between two variables, while bar charts are good for comparing values across categories.It is also important to consider the formatting and layout of the chart types. Different chart types can be formatted in different ways, and the right formatting can help to highlight the most important information, or to draw attention to trends or patterns. For example, using colors, labels, or axes can help to make the chart more readable and interpretable.I'm going to throw fire here that you don't need to design a piece of art. I can also plug powermetrics, since we have the ability to dynamically switch chart types :)How to ensure people actually use your dashboard: ID stakeholder, involve in design process, involve in testing and QA.So getting key stakeholders in the room, asking important questions not just about what metrics are most important, but also what decisions you're trying to make. Then you can start thinking about chart types and drafting your dashboard. Doing these pieces first will help ensure your dashboard is used often instead of being another tab left unopened. ConclusionBuilding a great team dashboard is like constructing a towering skyscraper. It takes a village of skilled and dedicated workers to lay the foundation, raise the walls, and finish the details. Just as a skyscraper can't stand on its own, a team dashboard needs a diverse and talented team to make it functional, useful, and beautiful.✌️--Intro music by Wowa via UnminusCover art created with Midjourney

Episode SummarySome people train so hard that they completely crash and burn out, but there is a better way! On this episode of the Fit is Freedom Podcast, I'm going to be sharing the best ways to prevent burnout through working backwards, being specific, and following the 3 phase rule of training! It happens all the time. People train for a big event, race, or adventure, dedicating so much time and effort into the process. Then, after the event, they completely drop the activity. Have you ever checked Facebook marketplace the day after a 150 mile bike race? You'd be amazed at the number of bikes listed for sale! Work BackwardsThe best way to prevent burnout after a big race or adventure is to work backwards! Start with the end in mind. Study the route, look for elevation gains, understand the season and the weather you'll be in. More often than not, adventurers will train in the wrong conditions. Then, when race day comes, they are facing much bigger challenges than anticipated.The more prepared you are, the less likely you'll be blind sided. You'll know how to train, and you'll feel better both mentally and physically for the big day of your race or adventure. 3 Phases of Training for an EventOnce you fully understand your event and what you're getting yourself into, you can start training in a way that will get you ready. While there are countless planning guides available online, give yourself a solid 3 months of training.  This way you can have the time to personalize it to you and your specific needs. With these three months, I suggest each month being a certain phase as listed below…Phase 1: Preparation and FoundationOnce you've got a good understanding of your goal, it's time to prepare your body! Start by listening to your body, noticing any discomforts, and getting them taken care of. I had a client once who got terrible rashes under her arms from her workout clothes. She changed her sports bra, and it completely fixed the issue! While this may not seem like a big deal now, if you don't fix these things in the beginning of your training, it will only perpetuate and keep getting worse. By preparing your body and laying a solid fitness foundation, you'll be ready to ramp up your fitness in phase 2.Phase 2: Get Moving and BuildingThe first month is all about listening to your body. Essentially, it's your warm up! Phase two is where the magic happens! Take into consideration all that you've learned about your race or adventure and try to prepare for the worst. Add more weight to your backpack than you would need. Run intervals to get your heart pumping even more. Build your stamina, strength, and endurance during phase 2 so that the actual event feels like a walk in the park. Phase 3: Slow it DownI think of phase 3 of your training as the end of a rollercoaster. You've still got speed. There might be another loop or another hill, but then it eases back into the loading spot gently. That's how the last month of your training should be. 3-4 weeks out from your event, your training should be at its peak, but by the 2 week out mark, you should start tapering back. Your body should feel ready, and you should reward it by taking some time to recover and mentally prepare for the event that is quickly approaching. Final ThoughtsTaking your time, knowing your race, and listening to your body will greatly help in preventing that end of race burnout. You want to think of being the tortoise and never the hare when it comes to your fitness and adventure journey. Making it a more sustainable goal will keep you loving your activities for years to come!

As a young girl, Sarah Weaver probably didn't realize that her aspirations of living a lifestyle, unrestricted by a 9-5 would have been the first step in her achieving what she has today. Throughout her life, those same thoughts would manifest into opportunities like studying in Europe the summer of her freshman year in college which lead to her backpacking 12 countries in 8 months. Sarah overcame her love/hate relationship with college and graduated with 2 degrees in Journalism and International Studies which she thought would give her the traveling life she wanted. Reality revealed that it would not be in the manner she dreamed of. Fast forward to today, Sarah owns 19 doors and has traveled to 44 countries on 6 continents. She's been a guest on numerous podcasts, has a personal coaching business and has taught Agents all over the country how to work with Investors and how to invest as a real estate agent. Sarah also hosts a private intimate retreat where she helps serious investors build their systems for success. And if that wasn't enough, Sarah is presenting at BPCon 2022 in San Diego.

Based in Columbus, Ohio, NIL Management has secured a steady stream of local deals for Ohio State student athletes, including cars for six football student athletes from one dealership.

A cap rate (capitalization rate) is a term in commercial real estate that refers to the way a building is evaluated. It's calculated by taking the net operating income, NOI, and dividing it by the cost of the building in order to give the rate of return. Capitalization rate = Net operating income / Cost of the buildingThe cap rate is a great unifying metric because it assumes the property is purchased in cash and not a loan, which can vary widely. It allows you to compare different buildings at a glance and quickly determine how the asking price is valued based on the rent. The NOI is the annual income expected from rent minus the expenses for managing the property. This includes things like lawn maintenance and taxes but not debt service. The asset market value can be used in place of the cost of the building in determining the cap rate if the building is not for sale. If the building was inherited for example, there is no building cost, so using the current asset value divided into the NOI will yield the most accurate cap rate. ExamplesAssume a building has an annual rent collection of $120,000/year. The property has $20,000 in maintenance expenses and taxes, leaving $100,000 in NOI. The building cost is $1 million. The NOI of $100,000 divided by the building cost of $1 million is 10%. This means if the investor bought the building in cash, he could expect his return on investment to be 10% which is the same as a 10% cap rate. $100,000/$1,000,000 = 10% The cap rate is a better measures of value compared to ROI is because the ROI is determined by the debt service, which can vary widely. Some banks lend 80% of the purchase price while others lend only 60%, and some investors will choose to purchase completely in cash. The cap rate can be compared to riskiness. The riskier the investment, the higher the return investors will want to see. If there is a single mom and pop shop renting the building without a substantial personal guarantee, investors will want to get a higher return on the asset value, usually upwards of 10%.If the tenant is a highly accredited national chain with a low chance of default, investors are willing to accept returns on the asset value as low as 5%.Real estate comes with inherent risks and several other factors can lower the cap rate. If there is a 4 tenant building generating $100K in annual rent and two tenants move out, the annual rent collection could drop to $50K. Since property maintenance expenses will stay the same, this will have a severe negative impact on the cap rate. Sometimes these buildings make for attractive investments as the upside potential is high. If the cap rate suffers too much from a loss of rent, the traditional land/improvement value may surpass the rental income value.In another example, rent might stay the same but maintenance fees or taxes could increase, also adversely affecting the cap rate. In another case, the asset value of the property could diminish, similar what happened in 2008, which would hurt the cap rate. Generally speaking, as the seller of the building, the lower the cap rate the better. A $100K NOI at a 5% cap rate yields a sale price of $2 million, while a 10% cap rate yields a sale price of $1 million. However, in most cases the cap rate will get better over time because the purchase price remains the same but leases have rent increases built into them. Overtime, the rent increases faster than the expenses and the debt service, which is what makes real estate such an attractive investment. If the building is purchased for $1 million, the current annual rent is $120,000, and there is a 3% annual rent increase, the cap rate will continue to improve for the owner.
