Is “surprise and delight” really the secret to customer loyalty, or is reliability your real superpower? In this episode, we challenge one of CX's biggest myths: that delight always wins.Many brands, especially in B2B, utilities, or financial services, build trust not through flashy moments but through consistent, dependable service. We explore how neglected touchpoints, like billing or scheduling, can become powerful moments of emotional connection when approached with a bit of personality and care.You'll also learn how to build an “emotional bank account” that pays off during service hiccups, and why small, intentional improvements can be more impactful than chasing viral wow moments. Think TSA's surprisingly fun social media presence as inspiration.Tune in to rethink what really drives customer trust—and how your brand can strike the right balance between consistency and creativity.Resources Mentioned:Experience Investigators Website -- https://experienceinvestigators.comWhat Are Micromoments & Why Are They So Important? -- https://experienceinvestigators.com/customer-journey-maps/tedx-jeannie-walters/Download the free CX Mission Statement Workbook -- https://bit.ly/cx-mission-workbookWant to ask a question?

Are you afraid of your romantic relationship getting in the way of your career and vice versa? What if I told you that your relationship could be the secret weapon behind your biggest professional success, rather than the thing holding you back? Welcome to The Ripple Effect Podcast! In this episode, I sat down with the incredible Gabriela Embon. She is an inspiring speaker, relationship coach, and author of Becoming a Power Couple. We discussed one of the most overlooked dynamics in modern life: how your career and your relationship are deeply connected, whether you realize it or not. As someone who's been through the ups and downs of entrepreneurship and marriage at the same time, this conversation hit me right in the heart. Gabriela has a gift for breaking down the emotional and practical challenges that ambitious couples face, especially when life feels overwhelming, communication breaks down, or resentment starts to creep in. Her coaching approach doesn't just focus on fixing problems. She helps you engineer a relationship that fuels your career and creates the kind of love you don't just survive, but thrive in. We talked about everything from managing stress at work without bringing it home to the unspoken expectations that can quietly destroy a connection. Gabriela's four-pillar framework for building a legendary marriage is packed with actionable insights that you can start using today! If you've ever felt like you're sacrificing your relationship to chase your goals, or like your partner just doesn't “get” what you're building, trust me. This episode is for you. It's honest, relatable, and packed with the kind of wisdom I wish I'd had years ago. And if you're in a relationship and trying to balance ambition, stress, and love, do not miss this one. So, what's one thing you've done to better integrate your career and your relationship?

Why do so many customer experience initiatives fail to gain traction? Often, the challenge isn't the strategy itself, but how we build bridges with skeptical leaders.CX leadership requires empathy, strategy, and communication. Stepping into a CX role means asking colleagues to embrace change, which can feel like added pressure. The most successful CX leaders recognize this challenge and approach it with empathy, connecting the dots between customer satisfaction and departmental goals—whether that's showing finance how retention boosts revenue or demonstrating to operations how journey improvements reduce costs.Effective CX leaders also make abstract ideas tangible through tools like journey mapping, customer feedback videos, and direct quotes. These bring the customer experience to life, helping leaders understand how their decisions affect the customer. By inviting participation early, you turn resistance into collaboration.Customer experience is a commitment, not a department. As your initiatives grow, position yourself as a bridge—helping others see how CX can align with their goals—and watch them adopt customer-focused projects on their own.Curious about where to focus your CX leadership efforts?

What happens when climbing the ladder no longer feels like success? In this episode, Erin Paturzo shares her honest journey from the corporate world to startups—and finally, to building a freedom-first online business as a mom. If you've been wondering whether it's too late (or too risky) to pivot, this story will remind you: the most aligned success often begins after we dare to change course. Important Links: Momergy Essentials - Home | Momergy Essentials Iva Perez - The Momergy Movement Desiree Gonzalez - Oily Essentials Follow us on: Facebook Facebook Mom Bosses Abroad Instagram@Mom.bosses.abroad Instagram @MomergyMovement Instagram @desiree_oilyessentials Instagram Guest Bio Meet Erin, a mom of one, who has been living in the UAE for 16 years. When her aviation career ended in 2020, she quickly realized how challenging it was to find flexible work that allowed her to be a present mother and wife. Having always been financially independent, relying on her husband wasn't the path she envisioned for herself. She ventured into entrepreneurship but soon discovered it demanded even more of her time and a constant financial investment, which didn't align with the lifestyle she desired.

When applied strategically, it becomes an experience amplifier, enabling personalization, speed, and emotionally intelligent interactions at scale.Modern customers build their own journeys across brands, platforms, and touchpoints. To stay relevant, CX leaders must respond with modular strategies, real-time responsiveness, and a bold, values-driven identity. The next generation of customers is already telling us: loyalty is earned through alignment, not just convenience.Curious about where to start?

Chris also gets tactical: how to mix content types across the funnel, the operational playbook for consistent output, leveraging AI tools, success metrics, and what it takes to hit massive growth milestones.Finally, Chris shares actionable frameworks for solo founders and small teams starting from scratch—plus candid takes on virality, team structure, platform strategy, and what's next for ClickUp's $4B content engine.Today, we'll cover:- How ClickUp scaled from low-budget solo content to 200M+ impressions per month- The “bets” and breakthroughs that defined ClickUp's content playbook- Building a repeatable system: team, workflow, “writer's room,” and actors- Entertainment vs. product-driven content—and the ideal content mix- Measuring ROI: turning impressions and brand awareness into real leads and customers- Frameworks and advice for solo creators and early-stage teams to start content from scratch- Platform-specific strategies for LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and beyond- Personalization, AI, and creator partnerships: the new wave of B2B contentWhat You'll Learn1.

We want to put as many shots up as possible, but we want to have calculated shots. We want to take them with low budgets… I'll make a bet and I'll start it very cheaply.” — Chris Cunningham“The only way it's really going to scale is if I brought in an expert... I took a bet that all companies would have content creators if they wanted to compete. They'll have some kind of creator that creates content for them consistently.” — Chris Cunningham“Content's just another task, right? Like anyone can make excuses. So if you're just not making content, it means you don't prioritize it. We prioritize it.” — Chris Cunningham“The dividends content rewards with is nuts. The amount of people I've met, the people who DM me and just what I'm learning… There's no reason not to make content.” — Chris Cunningham“If I had to start over and I'm at a new company—we're building in public... No actors, just talking about what we're working on. At the end of the day, I would just ask for like 5-10 minutes of all the early employees: what did you do today? And find a cool, clever way to chop it up. That's exactly what I would do.” — Chris Cunningham“You need to know your ICP. If you're creating content and you don't know who you're creating for, you really just lost the whole goal right there.” — Chris CunninghamShow notes powered by Castmagic---Have any questions about the show or topics you'd like us to explore further?Shoot us a DM; we'd love to hear from you.Want the weekly TL;DR of tips delivered to your mailbox?Check out our newsletter here.Follow us for content, clips, giveaways, & updates!Castmagic InstagramCastmagic TwitterCastmagic LinkedIn ---Blaine Bolus - Co-Founder of CastmagicRamon Berrios - Co-Founder of CastmagicChris Cunningham - Head of Social Marketing at ClickUp
