Since 2014, Ryan Holiday's The Daily Stoic newsletter has landed in inboxes every single morning, offering ancient wisdom in bite-size, highly clickable form.It's also a masterclass in content marketing. In this episode, we're unpacking what B2B marketers can learn from The Daily Stoic with the help of Amanda Dyson, VP, Head of Marketing at FourKites.Together, we explore how to break the marketing mold, why the most impactful content is also the most practical, and how anchoring your message in core values makes it stick. Stoicism isn't just a philosophy; if done right, it's a blueprint for modern marketing.About our guest, Amanda DysonWith 20 years B2B software and SaaS marketing expertise, Amanda specializes in go-to-market strategy; consultative marketing; change and people management; lead generation; account based marketing; partner co-marketing; integrated digital marketing; email marketing; live and virtual events; corporate branding and storytelling; account segmentation and targeting; project and budget management, and strategic advisement.Amanda has run regional and global teams. She has a passion for people and results and a proven track record of success delivering on KPIs and OKRs. She has held successively responsible, cross-functional leadership positions in sales and marketing, including alliances, partnership marketing, ABM, demand generation, field marketing, solutions marketing, events, communications, and corporate marketing for global Supply Chain Management (SCM) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software companies.A California girl at heart, Amanda happily resides in Charlotte, North Carolina with her family of five.

Amanda has an MBA from the W.P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University with a focus in Marketing, Finance and Supply Chain, and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Economics with a Minor in Professional Writing from the University of California, Santa Barbara.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Ryan Holiday's The Daily Stoic Newsletter:Break the marketing mold. Stoicism may be ancient, but Ryan Holiday has made it feel new and modern. Amanda sees that reinvention as a creative north star. She says, “Let's do something wild. Some of my favorite marketing campaigns have just been weird stuff. It breaks the mold and it gets something done.” Ryan Holiday didn't market stoicism by copying academic textbooks, he made it approachable and surprising. B2B marketers should do the same. Surprise earns attention. A little weirdness, done with purpose, goes a long way.Make it usable, not just insightful. Ryan Holiday's greatest trick isn't sounding smart, it's making stoicism actionable. Amanda says,  “He does things in such a bite-size, practical way that you can hold onto it.” That's exactly how B2B content should work. Don't just publish thought leadership that nods at trends. Give your audience tools they can actually apply. Teach them something they'll remember at 4 PM on a chaotic Tuesday. If it doesn't help them do their job better, it's just noise.Anchor your content in core values. The Daily Stoic isn't random. It's rooted in four core tenets: courage, temperance, justice, and wisdom. Amanda draws the parallel for marketers: “It's all fostered and rooted in these core values or the stoic virtues, which you could look at your brand pillars in the same kind of light.” B2B content should be more than campaign-deep. When your content reflects your company's true values, it resonates longer and travels farther. Think less about filling the calendar, and more about reinforcing what you stand for. Quotes*“ I really challenge my teams to get back to storytelling. You gotta break out of the box, so let's do something wild. Some of my favorite marketing campaigns I've ever done have just been weird stuff: bobbleheads, robots on the beach. Random things that are not B2B software, but it breaks the mold and it gets something done. I think Ryan's done that with his marketing of stoicism. He's broken the mold, right? He reinvigorated this ancient philosophy, and so that's definitely a lesson I think we can learn from him too on content.”*“ So we are all about how do we take one thing and reuse it in different ways. I think if we look at Ryan and his newsletter, I kind of mentioned his repetition. I don't think he sends the exact same newsletter, you know, multiple times. But there's certainly similar messages where you can go back in your archives and dig those things up again and present it in a different way. Content is huge. It drives, internally and externally, all of our activities. But you gotta be really smart about how you do it and how you use it, 'cause you're competing with so much noise. It can definitely be challenging to again break that mold.”*“ Something that makes him a tremendous marketer is that he really believes in what he's selling us, right? He's created this brand that is a lifestyle. Stoicism is a philosophy, so there's a lot of high value attached to it and how you live your life.”Time Stamps[0:55] Meet Amanda Dyson, VP, Head of Marketing at FourKites[00:58] Why Ryan Holiday's The Daily Stoic Newsletter[03:04] The Role of VP, Head of Marketing at Four Kites[04:18] Origins of Ryan Holiday's The Daily Stoic[09:27] Understanding Tucker Max[13:12] Stoicism 101: Old Ideas for Modern Chaos[20:23] Building a Daily Ritual[22:21] Strategies for Writing Like a Pro[25:35] Inspiration as a Driver for Your Content[35:55] Creating Marketing Tactics That Actually Matter[39:00] FourKites' Content Strategy[40:31] What's Working for Amanda Now?[44:15] Measuring ROI at Four Kites[49:49] Advice for Marketing Leaders[51:27] Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Amanda on LinkedInLearn more about FourKitesAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

In Episode 254 of The Julia La Roche Show, legendary economist Dr. Lacy Hunt, Chief Economist at Hoisington Investment Management, analyzes what he calls an economic "interregnum" where five convergent forces are aligning to depress growth. Dr. Hunt methodically explains how tariffs will ultimately prove deflationary rather than inflationary, why the Fed's restrictive monetary policy is misplaced, how federal spending cuts are creating headwinds, why massive debt overhang limits policy effectiveness, and how changing demographics will impact long-term prospects. With over 56 years of experience and historical perspective dating back to the 1920s, Dr. Hunt delivers a sobering but authoritative prediction that recession lies ahead in 2025, describing it as "a long, difficult slog" rather than a brief downturn.Sponsor: This episode is brought to you by Monetary Metals. https://monetary-metals.com/julia Dr. Hunt is an internationally known and award-winning economist. He received the Abramson Award from the National Association for Business Economics for "outstanding contributions in the field of business economics."  Dr. Hunt is Executive Vice President and Chief Economist of Hoisington Investment Management Company (HIMCO).This is the 56th year in Dr. Hunt's career. He served as a Senior Economist for the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas.

For years, many companies have viewed worker wellbeing as an expense, but what if this mindset is holding them back from true success? According to Anant Nyshadham, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer at Good Business Lab (GBL) and Associate Professor at the University of Michigan, building a good business is more than just the profits - it's about creating meaningful change for both workers and companies.    Anant Nyshadham has spent his career proving that this vision isn't just possible, but crucial. His groundbreaking research is challenging long-held beliefs that worker well-being is merely a cost, and instead, he's demonstrating how it's a key driver of business success.    On this episode of The Workplace Communication Podcast, we're talking with Anant about how businesses can go beyond profits and actively invest in the wellbeing of their workers. Drawing from his extensive research, Anant delves into projects like soft skills training, worker voice technologies, and organizational policies that have driven better productivity and workplace dynamics. Join us as we learn how small changes in workplace practices can lead to big returns for both workers and businesses.   Leadership tips you won't want to miss: 

Rebecca Rockey, deputy chief economist and global head of forecasting at Cushman & Wakefield — an analyst on the outlook survey committee for the National Association for Business Economics — discusses the group's recent "flash survey" of economists which found that since tariff policies were announced on "Liberation Day," more than one-third of economists now believe the next recession is likely to start this year. Another half of the respondents have also raised their chances for a significant economic downturn. Rockey says that media forecasts for economic growth show significant downgrades since the tariff announcements, and notes that it appears this sentiment shift is the swiftest she has seen in any two-week period of time, including in times like Covid and other crises. Bob Powell, editor at Retirement Daily, talks about how seniors and pre-retirees should be considering the headlines on tariff and other government policies when it comes to spending, saving, retirement planning, Social Security, Medicare and more. Plus, Chuck answers three questions from listeners, discussing sequence-of-return versus market risk, how and why tariffs impact bond markets and his general feelings about tariffs.

If you're interested in macroeconomics, Bitcoin, or the future of money, this episode is a must-watch.

Greg Daco, chief economist at EY, says the economic numbers are strong, but the high level of uncertainty has it nearing a tipping point and making recession more likely. He sees the potential for consumer issues and a recession risking, and says there is a real -- but modest -- chance of stagflation putting the Federal Reserve in a real policy bind. Sarah Wolfe, senior economist and strategist for thematic and macro investing at Morgan Stanley Wealth Management, talks about what other economists are thinking, as she highlights the March Economic Policy Survey, released today by the National Association for Business Economics.  David Trainer of New Constructs revisits Carvana, a stock which has defied gravity for over a year; he says it can't shake its status as a zombie stock headed for a massive decline. John Barr, portfolio manager for the Needham Funds, discusses his aggressive growth strategy.  

For today's episode, host Josh Sidman is joined by Stef Kuypers.Mr. Kuypers is a behavioral and monetary economist pursuing his PhD at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel. Before he began his intellectual journey in economics, Stef led a successful career in the IT industry. After his work in IT, Stef began to do in-depth research on economics and monetary systems. This led him to join the board of Happonomy, a non-profit dedicated to helping individuals, businesses, and governments improve living standards. His PhD focuses on comparative monetary systems, and how society can use money differently to improve welfare.Mr. Kuypers earned his master's in IT, and is pursuing his PhD in Business Economics at Vrije Universiteit Brussel.Together, we discussed how money can be used differently to improve living standards, why the free-rider problem isn't much of a problem, and how the yard sale economic model could work in real life.

Nanette Abuhoff Jacobson, global investments strategist for the Hartford Funds, is expecting a positive year for 2025, with a broadening market and solid earnings growth driving it forward, but she expects the drive to a third consecutive year of double-digit gains to be more volatile. That volatility represents an opportunity, she said, because fantastic companies become cheap when the markets get frothy but their underlying fundamentals don't change. Jacobson is leaning towards domestic stocks, but she noted that investors do not want to forsake international stocks, because they represent a good value at a point where domestic markets are pricey. Economist Lester Jones discusses the latest Business Outlook Survey from the National Association for Business Economics, which showed that economists think sales and profits are holding steady in current conditions, despite rising costs and increasing uncertainty over economic policy. Todd Rosenbluth, head of research at VettaFi, looks at a Bitcoin fund that uses options to eliminate downside risk as his ETF of the Week, and Geoff Garbacz, partner at Quantitative Partners, mixes technical analysis with a macro outlook in examining some popular stocks in the Money Life Market Call.

According to the Consortium for Analysis of Student Success through International Education (CASSIE), students who participate in study abroad programs are 6.2 percentage points more likely to graduate within four years and 3.8 percentage points more likely to graduate within six years compared to their non-study abroad peers. Additionally, these students tend to earn higher GPAs and accumulate more credit hours upon graduation. This University System of Georgia infographic shows these outcomes directly enhance institutional key performance indicators such as retention and persistence. In this episode of Changing Higher Ed® podcast, Dr. Drumm McNaughton interviews Dr. Scott Marshall, President and CEO of the Institute for Shipboard Education, about how Semester at Sea transforms students' lives and enhances institutional outcomes through innovative study abroad programming. Why Semester at Sea is a Game-Changer Semester at Sea offers students the opportunity to visit up to 10 countries during a single semester while earning 12 to 15 college credits through a partnership with Colorado State University. The program is supported by 180 universities worldwide, attracting a diverse student body of 450 to 550 students per voyage. While onboard the ship, students engage in a robust academic curriculum and participate in a living-learning community. This unique environment fosters strong relationships among peers, faculty, and staff while encouraging deep reflection on cultural experiences gained at each port of call. The program creates a profound impact on students by integrating global learning, critical thinking, and community-building into a single, cohesive experience. Alumni frequently credit Semester at Sea with shaping their careers and life paths, emphasizing how the iterative process of experiencing different cultures followed by reflection can permanently transform mental models and worldviews. The Impact of Study Abroad on Institutional Success The importance of study abroad programs in improving institutional metrics is significant. Research shows that students who study abroad graduate faster, earn higher GPAs, and complete more credit hours than their peers. This results in improved retention rates and better long-term outcomes for universities. Semester at Sea's unique model of comparative experiential learning sets it apart from traditional study abroad programs, making it an invaluable asset for institutions seeking to enhance student outcomes and global competencies. Semester at Sea Benefits for Universities As a “third-party provider” program, Semester at Sea allows universities to partner without the financial burden of running their own study abroad initiatives. While institutions may lose one semester's worth of tuition from participating students, the long-term benefits—such as higher retention rates, faster graduation times, and increased alumni loyalty—far outweigh the costs. By investing in study abroad programs, institutions can position themselves as leaders in global education and prepare their students for the challenges of an interconnected world. Innovations for the Future of Study Abroad Programs and Semester at Sea Looking ahead, the program is exploring new ways to remain at the forefront of global education. Plans include creating an artificial intelligence (AI) floating lab, which would allow students to gain AI literacy while participating in the program's transformative experiential learning model. Collaborating with corporate partners like Nvidia, this initiative aims to equip students with cutting-edge skills that are increasingly critical in today's job market. The Case for Expanding Study Abroad Destinations While Europe remains a popular destination for study abroad, institutions are encouraged to expand their programs to include Asia, Africa, and other emerging economies. With three of the world's top five economies located in Asia (Japan, China, and India), exposing students to these regions is essential for preparing them to succeed in a globalized workforce. Semester at Sea's itineraries reflect this need by offering students a diverse range of cultural and economic contexts to explore. The Importance of Faculty Engagement Faculty play a crucial role in the success of Semester at Sea. Participating faculty members enhance the student experience and bring fresh perspectives and global insights back to their home campuses. This ripple effect benefits future cohorts and strengthens the institution's academic community. Faculty on Semester at Sea voyages are carefully selected for their passion for teaching and ability to contribute to the program's unique living-learning environment. What Makes Semester at Sea Unique? Much of the program's success is attributed to its living-learning community, which fosters deep connections among students, faculty, and staff. Students live and learn together on a ship for 105 days, participating in high-impact practices such as global learning and common intellectual experiences. The program's structure ensures that students develop intercultural competencies, adaptability, and critical thinking skills that are vital in today's interconnected world. Three Takeaways for University Presidents and Boards Consider Study Abroad Offices as Revenue Supporters Reframe how study abroad offices are viewed—not as cost centers but as revenue enhancers. These programs drive institutional success by improving retention, graduation rates, and overall student outcomes. Invest in Study Abroad Programs Institutions should provide incentives for students to participate in study abroad, such as financial aid scaled to family contributions. These investments yield significant returns through better institutional KPIs and stronger alumni engagement. Encourage Expansion Beyond Europe Study abroad offices should prioritize robust, comparative programs outside Europe, focusing on emerging economies like Asia and Africa. This approach aligns with global trends and equips students for success in diverse cultural and economic contexts. Bonus Takeaway from Dr. McNaughton: Involve your faculty in study abroad programs. Faculty who participate in programs like Semester at Sea return with enriched perspectives that benefit students and strengthen institutional outcomes. Final Thoughts As higher education leaders face mounting challenges in student retention, persistence, and graduation rates, innovative programs like Semester at Sea offer an intriguing solution. The combination of experiential learning, cultural immersion, and academic rigor provides students with a transformative experience that shapes their futures and strengthens institutional performance. By investing in global education and expanding opportunities beyond traditional boundaries, institutions can prepare students to succeed in an interconnected world while achieving vital organizational objectives.

The National Association for Business Economics released its November Outlook Survey today, and nearly all of the economists surveyed expect moderating growth and slowing inflation but, most importantly, no recession until at least 2026. Kathy Bostjancic, chief economist at Nationwide and the outlook survey chairperson for NABE, called the results "Goldilock-ish," noting that forecasting firmer growth and slower inflation than they did in September, the economists are effectively expecting a near-perfect landing for the economy, with downside expectations decreased. David Trainer, founder and president at New Constructs, revisits Beyond Meat, noting that a number of different Danger Zone picks have recently had big rebounds, but that the plant-based meat maker hasn't gotten that kind of life support from the market, which is why he expects it to complete its destiny as a "zombie stock" in 2025. Plus, Nael Fakhry, portfolio manager for the Osterweis Growth and Income fund, discusses "quality growth companies" in the Market Call.

Sign Up For The Newsletter: https://jonathanraymond.com/#newsletter On today's episode of Good Authority, Jonathan sits down with Wendy Smith, the renowned author of Both/And Thinking, to delve into the traps of either-or thinking that affect our decision-making, relationships, and even political discourse. Wendy shares insights from her journey as a self-proclaimed "uncertain academic," exploring how embracing ambiguity and conflicting forces can become powerful tools in both personal and professional contexts. Together, they discuss why a “both/and” mindset is crucial for fostering understanding and avoiding the polarization that often stems from black-and-white thinking. Wendy explains how our natural comfort with certainty and simplicity can often limit our creativity, while a more expansive approach can help us see opposing ideas as interconnected rather than mutually exclusive. Throughout the episode, Jonathan and Wendy also examine how this mindset can aid leaders in guiding teams through complex challenges by balancing diverse perspectives, allowing them to navigate seemingly contradictory goals more effectively. Key takeaways from this episode are the value of embracing ambiguity to foster growth and creativity, practical methods for moving beyond polarizing perspectives, and strategies for leaders to guide teams through complex, contradictory challenges. Wendy Smith earned her Ph.D. in organizational behavior at Harvard Business School, and is currently a professor of management at the Alfred Lerner College of Business & Economics and Co-director of the Women's Leadership Initiative at the University of Delaware. Wendy's research focuses on strategic paradoxes – how leaders and senior teams effectively respond to contradictory agendas. She studies how organizations and their leaders simultaneously explore new possibilities while exploiting existing competencies, and how social enterprises simultaneously attend to social missions and financial goals. Her research has been published in journals such as Academy of Management Journal, Academy of Management Review, Administrative Science Quarterly, Harvard Business Review, Organization Science and Management Science. In 2018, she won the University of Delaware's first Mid-Career Excellence in Scholarship Award. In 2015, she won the Lerner College Outstanding Scholar Award. Wendy teaches leadership, organizational behavior and business ethics. She has taught MBAs and undergraduates at University of Delaware, Harvard and University of Pennsylvania – Wharton. Wendy was awarded the University of Delaware MBA Teaching Award in 2016. Wendy has also taught executive and senior leadership teams how to manage interpersonal dynamics, emotional intelligence, high performing teams, organizational change and innovation, managing in times of crisis, and managing strategic paradoxes.

Electing a president is not the only high-stakes choice voters will make in November. In Ohio, citizens will vote on a constitutional amendment that would end gerrymandering. Voters in 10 states have the opportunity to amend their state constitutions to affirm or expand protections for abortion care. Three states will decide whether to remove language against same-sex marriage from their state constitutions.  All states but Delaware require voters to approve proposed amendments to state constitutions. Half of all states have a constitutional right to direct democracy, allowing citizens to place statutory or constitutional proposals on the ballot and pass them by popular vote. But some lawmakers and other elected officials are making a concerted effort to reduce citizens' power to enact policy through ballot initiatives. Listen to a recording of our experts panel's virtual discussion on state ballots issues in the 2024 election and trends to watch out for.

This is a narration of our weekly Rent and Operating Trends Report.Fed Chair Jerome Powell Gives Positive OutlookSpeaking to attendees at the National Association of Business Economics annual meeting, the Fed's leader provided an optimistic view of current economic conditions. While acknowledging that the labor market has cooled from an unsustainable pace, Powell also noted a relatively low unemployment rate and a high labor force participation rate for prime-age workers. He stated that the Fed does not need to see further cooling in the labor market, which is likely a good sign for future interest rate cuts. Overall, he described the economy as being in “solid shape” as we head into the fourth quarter. Inflation Continues to Head in Right DirectionThe personal consumption expenditures index (PCE), the Fed's preferred measure of inflation, showed prices were up 2.2% in August. It was down from 2.5% in July and trending closer to the Fed's target rate of 2.0%. It was another favorable report released about the economy in line with a soft landing. In recent weeks, initial unemployment insurance claims have trended lower, consumer spending increased, and the latest GDP estimate was stronger than expected.  New Jobs Report on FridayThe Bureau of Labor Statistics will release its monthly U.S. jobs report on Friday. Consensus expectations are currently close to 150,000 jobs added for September, similar to August's total. The unemployment rate is likely to have a slight uptick from the prior month. Two of the main themes that have persisted in recent reports have been downward revisions to prior job growth estimates, as well as lack of employment growth in the private sector.  U.S. Multifamily PerformanceRecent notable trends for rent growth and traffic continued in the latest Radix report. As of last week, effective rents were down 0.5% from the prior year, but the rate has incrementally improved from an operator's perspective in the past several weeks. Houston became the latest major market to post positive annual rent growth, just as supply is poised to decline significantly in the market next year.Traffic, the number of new leases signed, and the occupancy rate for the U.S. all ticked down due to seasonality. The latest week's traffic count per property in the U.S. was the lowest since the initial onset of the pandemic. The average occupancy rate for the U.S. is still at 93.7%, but the lower traffic counts are especially concerning for markets or properties with high vacancy rates heading into the fall and winter seasons.Explore our webpage for more insights and resources:https://bit.ly/Radix_Website

A rogue's gallery of inflation hucksters have made lots of money over the years by preying on the sense that the average consumer/investor has that "my inflation is higher than the CPI," with some spin usually on how the gov'mint is intentionally understating inflation for some nefarious reason. These hucksters take advantage of the fact that, for reasons that are so native to the economic system that Daniel Kahneman won a Nobel Prize for describing them, consumers perceptions are not just biased, but biased in systematic ways - which, in the case of inflation, always tends to increase the perceived level of inflation. In this episode of Cents and Sensibility, the Inflation Guy explains how these biases operate on our sense of inflation. If you too want to sound erudite at your next cocktail party - "Actually, Muffy, inflation just seems like it's 10% because..." - then this is a must-listen episode. If not, then you're also probably invited to more cocktail parties than the Inflation Guy is.   NOTES Ashton, Michael, “Real-Feel” Inflation: Quantitative Estimation of Inflation Perceptions, Business Economics, Volume 47, pages 14–26, (2012)  (https://link.springer.com/article/10.1057/be.2011.35 ) Blog callback: Eighth Grade Math vs Shadowstats (https://inflationguy.blog/2021/05/25/eighth-grade-math-vs-shadowstats/ ) Podcast callback: Ep. 72: Chapwood Index vs CPI – Which is the Better Inflation Index?     (https://inflationguy.podbean.com/e/ep-72-chapwood-index-vs-cpi-%e2%80%93-which-is-the-better-inflation-index/ ) Blog for this month's CPI: “Inflation Guy's CPI Summary (August 2024)” (https://inflationguy.blog/2024/09/11/inflation-guys-cpi-summary-august-2024/ ) To Subscribe to Quarterly Inflation Outlook: https://inflationguy.blog/shop/    (we may close up subscriptions to this soon) To Subscribe for free to the blog: https://inflationguy.blog/ Check out the website! https://www.EnduringInvestments.com/

In this episode of Money Tales, our guest is Naseem Sayani. This episode is about seeing gaps in an industry and taking bold action to close them. Naseem was at the forefront of digital strategy, launching a product studio within a global consulting firm. She built startups from the ground up and noticed a disturbing pattern: the capital wasn't diverse, the founders weren't diverse, and the products being created weren't serving women. As one of only two female partners out of 45 worldwide, she knew something had to change. When her own fertility journey collided with these realizations, Naseem drew a line in the sand. Now, she's channeling her expertise into Emmeline Ventures, a seed-stage fund investing in tech and innovation that are helping women live, thrive, and prosper. Naseem is Co-Founder and General Partner at Emmeline Ventures, a seed-stage fund investing across healthcare, financial services, and sustainability, specifically where technology and innovation are helping women live and thrive. The fund has 23 companies in its portfolio, including Alloy Women's Health, LunaJoy, WealthMore, and The Beans. Naseem's investing and business-building experience comes from 20+ years in executive leadership roles across management consulting, agency services, venture incubators, a corporate venture capital firm, and an active angel investor. She and her partners launched Emmeline Ventures with a deliberate focus on investing in solutions that unlock the spending power of women and expanding the 2% of venture capital that currently goes to female founders. Naseem has an MBA from NYU's Stern School of Business, where she was awarded the Dean's Leadership Award two years running, and a BA from UCLA in Business Economics, where she graduated cum laude.
