Leadership is built through conversations, trust, and the willingness to learn from failure. In this episode, author Gregory Archbold discusses the lessons behind his book, Fail, Fight, Finish. From the power of listening first to creating buy-in during change, he shares practical leadership strategies that every manager, mentor, and learning professional can put into practice. Show Notes:Author Gregory Archbold discusses trust, mentorship, communication, and leading through change. His key points include:Leadership begins with listening. Great leaders ask questions, create space for others to contribute, and speak last to build trust and develop future leaders.Mentorship is earned, not assigned. Strong mentoring relationships grow over time through curiosity, consistency, and a genuine commitment to learning.Create shared ownership during change. Leaders gain buy-in by involving people in developing solutions rather than presenting fully formed decisions.Challenge processes that no longer serve a purpose. Don't continue doing something simply because "we've always done it that way." Regularly evaluate whether processes still create value.Never become "content lazy." Leadership growth requires continuous learning through reading, mentoring, reflection, and seeking feedback—especially after receiving a promotion. Learn more about Gregory Archbold's book, Fail, Fight, Finish: Leadership Lessons You Don't Learn in the Classroom.Powered by Learning earned Awards of Distinction in the Podcast/Audio and Business Podcast categories from The Communicator Awards and a Gold and Silver Davey Award.

Boll & Branch spent 12 years doing the unfashionable thing: perfecting the product first and figuring out distribution second. Chief Commercial Officer Katia Unlu joins Phillip and Brian on today's episode to discuss Boll & Branch's store expansion strategy, an AI-generated damage claim that went viral, and the case for stimulation over substitution.  That's Not How the Waffle Blanket Tears Key takeaways: Brands of the DTC era that failed were distracted by over-indexing on one hero product and not focusing on customer experiences that drive retention and brand love.  Boll & Branch opens stores where their customers and ICP already live. A human CX team caught an AI-generated image in a fraudulent damage claim thanks to the team's sharp knowledge of the brand's fabric and tear patterns. This is human expertise and technological advancement meeting in the middle. Boll & Branch's AI tools aim to stimulate the customer relationship rather than flatten it. The 2027 playbook is boring, but it works. Focusing on the fundamentals is key. [00:23:12] "People might buy something they enjoy, but they will actually defend what they love." – Brian Lange [00:29:45] "There's no shortcut for what real-life consumer insights can give you when you just go and talk to people in stores." – Katia Unlu [00:43:50] "We very much don't want to substitute. We don't have an AI bot on our website that you can even ask questions to." – Katia Unlu Associated Links: Boll & Branch Scott Tannen's LinkedIn post on AI-generated return fraud at Boll & Branch  Read our in-store retail space analyses: Field Notes on Future Commerce More on human vs. agent: Episode 447: The Agent Has Left the Building Explore our Word of Mouth Index Check out Future Commerce on YouTube Check out Future Commerce Plus for exclusive content and save on merch and print Subscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce world Listen to our other episodes of Future Commerce Have any questions or comments about the show?

Most people think great storytellers are born with natural talent. They're wrong. In this conversation, storytelling expert Philipp Humm explains why storytelling is actually a learnable skill—and why it may be the most valuable communication skill for entrepreneurs, leaders, investors, parents, and anyone who wants to influence others. You'll discover: ✔️ The 3 elements every unforgettable story needs ✔️ Why most public speaking advice actually makes you worse ✔️ How to become a confident speaker without memorizing speeches ✔️ The storytelling framework entrepreneurs should use to sell ideas naturally ✔️ Why emotion beats information every time ✔️ How impromptu speaking builds confidence faster than rehearsing scripts ✔️ The psychology behind stories that people remember for years ✔️ Why authenticity isn't about perfection—it's about connection Whether you're raising capital, leading a team, pitching clients, creating content, or simply trying to become a better communicator, these storytelling principles will transform how people listen to you.

You did the work to get somebody interested in your business. They're ready to move forward, they want what you offer, and then...the process starts dragging. Now they're waiting. Trying to figure out what happens next. Maybe even wondering, "Do y'all want my money or not?" In this episode of the Black to Business podcast, Monique is getting into what happens between someone showing interest and actually becoming a paying customer. Getting people interested is one thing. Your business also needs to be ready when they're ready to move. You'll take a closer look at your own buying process, where people may be getting stuck, and what could be slowing things down without you even realizing it. Money likes speed, and sometimes making more sales starts with paying closer attention to what happens with the people who are already trying to buy. DURING THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN: • What to look for between customer interest and payment • How to spot parts of your buying process that may need a second look • Why the amount of work you put on the customer could be costing you sales • What "money likes speed" really means for your business • How to recognize patterns in where potential customers tend to fall off • A simple way to experience your own buying process from the customer's side   Thank you so much for listening!

Maveron partner Natalie Dillon joins Brian and Alicia to challenge the consumer-collapse narrative: sentiment sits at post-9/11 lows while spending breaks records. Natalie sheds light on truths of today's consumer, who is skeptical but continually shopping amid a cultural undertow where AI adoption stays surprisingly shallow, Gen Z turns skeptical, and analog living re-emerges as status. PLUS: Are cults the new future of commerce?  Your Gen Z Consumer Is Busy Touching Grass Key takeaways: Shoppers reallocated rather than retreated. Stats show fewer purchases that are higher value and more intentional.  AI adoption stays shallow, but health and wellness is the emerging opportunity, especially among consumers aged 35+.  Gen Z, the presumed AI natives, skew most negative, fueling an analog revival. Costco remains the disciplined benchmark for marketing, merchandise, and customer experience. [26:30] "Gen Z spikes the most negative on AI across age groups, which was shocking." — Natalie Dillon [43:09] "I do think some companies still look to Costco…but I think no one has disciplined themselves to the extent that Costco has." — Natalie Dillon Associated Links: Learn more about Maveron Maveron consumer research report "Your Body is a Data Land" (Future Commerce, 2017) Check out Future Commerce on YouTube Check out Future Commerce Plus for exclusive content and save on merch and print Subscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce world Listen to our other episodes of Future Commerce Have any questions or comments about the show?

Ben Dietz convenes Casey Lewis (After School), Daisy Alioto (Dirt), and Erica Chen (Media Futures Group, WPP) on the collapse of the wall between editorial and commerce. Publishers are shipping perfume, brands are hiring writers, and the relationship forming in your inbox isn't human-to-human anymore.  What happens when the scenic route is quicker? When “wasted” time actually is the relationship? Your total addressable market now includes agents, and those agents are trained on the taste you are curating. After all – what you buy is who you become, but what you read is how you decide.  Base Notes: Upper Lip Sweat and Hot Metal Key takeaways: Publishers now make products; brands now make publications. The wall stopped mattering. Optimization is a process of reduction, and serendipity gets cut first. Brands flame out at issue two or three without a point of view. Taste-driven publishers have a new addressable market: agents trained on taste. [12:48] "The best ROI does not necessarily give you growth, because growth comes in volumes." – Erica Chen [21:15] "When your audience knows to expect you… you really have to stay true to that." – Casey Lewis [28:50] "Our total addressable market now includes agents." – Daisy Alioto [30:32] "Creators are the cure to the media fragmentation." – Erica Chen Associated Links: Casey Lewis – After School on Substack Erica Chen – "In Defense of Serendipity" Daisy Alioto – Read Dirt @ dirt.fyi Tasteland podcast – Daisy Alioto & Francis Zierer VISIONS Summit 2026 – November 3, 2026 at MoMA.

Would you know what to sell, who to put it in front of, or where to look for opportunities you may have missed?

Grab your notes app or something to write with and work through this one with us. DURING THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN: • How to decide what deserves your attention when you have multiple things you could sell • Where opportunities may already exist inside your business • How to get more specific about who may be ready for what you offer • What could be taking up time you could spend getting closer to a sale • How to build a focused seven day plan around one thing you can sell right now   Thank you so much for listening!

What happens when AI makes creating learning content easier than ever? According to 7taps co-founder Ezra Charm, that's when the real work of learning and development begins. In this episode, Ezra joins the Powered by Learning team to discuss why the future of L&D is about more than creating content—it's about driving engagement, improving performance, and measuring impact.Show Notes:From the rise of the "LMS-less learner" to the role of AI in modern learning strategies, 7tap's Ezra Charm shares why learning professionals have an opportunity to become more valuable than ever. Here are some of Ezra's top takeaways.AI is shifting L&D's role from content creation to performance improvement. As authoring becomes easier, learning professionals can focus on driving behavior change and demonstrating business value. Organizations don't have a content problem—they have an engagement problem. Success depends on delivering learning when and where employees need it, not simply creating more courses. Learning should meet employees where they work. Today's "LMS-less learner" expects learning to be accessible on any device, in the flow of work, rather than requiring a trip back into the LMS. Microlearning works because it's grounded in learning science. By respecting cognitive load, spaced repetition, and mobile-first behaviors, organizations can improve retention and application. The future of L&D is measuring impact. Learning teams that can connect training to business outcomes will move from being viewed as cost centers to strategic business partners.Learn more about 7tapsRead more about d'Vinci's partnership with 7tapsAbout Ezra Charm:Ezra Charm is Co-Founder and COO of 7taps, where he's spent years building the brand and go-to-market engine for the microlearning platform.

Watch On Youtube: youtube.com/watch?v=dlnjBMS6Jto&feature=youtu.be Daniel Valverde (@DanielValv3rd3) is a Peruvian entrepreneur who calls himself “the most interesting Peruvian in the world.” After building a successful cleaning company that now operates under his team in Peru, he stepped away from the day-to-day business to pursue a long-held passion: reviving Peruvian winemaking. In this episode, Daniel shares his journey from entrepreneurship to launching Valtierro, his inaugural 2025 wine vintage, along with the lessons he's learned building businesses, traveling the world, and creating a brand rooted in Peru's history. While Peru is already celebrated globally for its cuisine, including Central in Lima being named the World's Best Restaurant, few people realize the country has been producing wine for nearly 500 years. Home to some of the oldest vineyards in the Americas, Peru's winemaking tradition predates many of today's famous New World wine regions. Daniel explains why he believes Peru is on the verge of becoming the next great wine destination, how grapes like Negra Criolla are helping revive this forgotten heritage, and why Valtierro aims to be at the forefront of Peru's next chapter in fine wine.

Most entrepreneurs are told the same thing: Grow bigger. Scale faster. Buy more. But what if that's actually the wrong goal? In this conversation, Matt Faircloth shares one of the biggest lessons from decades in business and real estate: success isn't about having the most units, the biggest company, or the flashiest lifestyle. It's about building a business that matches the life you actually want. Too many entrepreneurs chase someone else's definition of success, only to discover they've built a business they no longer enjoy. In this clip, you'll learn: • Why bigger isn't always better • The hidden downside of endless scaling • How to define success on your own terms • Why focus beats chasing shiny objects • The importance of work-life balance in entrepreneurship • Building wealth without sacrificing your life Whether you're an entrepreneur, real estate investor, business owner, founder, or someone pursuing financial freedom, this message is a powerful reminder that your business should serve your life—not the other way around. Sometimes, doing fewer deals, saying "no" more often, and focusing on what you truly enjoy leads to greater long-term success than constantly chasing the next milestone.

After nearly 500 episodes, I've learned something that I wish more business owners understood before they ever launched a podcast. A podcast doesn't make you visible. It doesn't automatically position you as the go-to expert. What creates those results is knowing what you want to be known for and using your podcast to build trust, deepen relationships, and strengthen your authority over time. As I prepared for my milestone episode, I found myself reflecting on what nearly a decade behind the microphone has really taught me. Not about microphones, downloads, or editing software, but about what actually makes a business podcast become a valuable asset instead of another piece of content that's forgotten after it's published. In episode 499 of the Amplify Your Success podcast, I'm sharing the 10 biggest lessons I've learned about creating a podcast that supports your business, attracts the right opportunities, and becomes an extension of your authority. We'll talk about why purpose matters before you ever hit record, why trust is more valuable than downloads, what causes so many podcasts to fade away, and how to turn your podcast into one of the most powerful relationship-building tools in your business. If you've ever wondered whether your podcast is really working for you, or you're thinking about starting one, I hope these lessons help you approach it with greater clarity, intention, and a much longer view of what's possible.   Key Takeaways:  [00:04] Why your podcast isn't the growth strategy. Your authority is. [04:03] Lesson #1: Know exactly why you're creating your podcast before you ever hit record. [06:00] Lesson #2: Stop expecting your podcast to be a short-term lead machine and start treating it as a long-term authority asset. [09:39] Lesson #3: Why every successful business podcast needs a clear leadership voice and Lighthouse Message. [11:02] Lesson #4: The best podcasts aren't built around information. They're built around trust. [13:20] Lesson #5: How your podcast can become one of your most valuable collaboration assets. [15:04] Lesson #6: Why your podcast should become part of your invisible sales force. [17:49] Lesson #7: The real reason podcasters quit. It's usually a systems problem, not a motivation problem. [20:25] Lesson #8: How to integrate your podcast into your content ecosystem so every episode works harder for your business. [22:46] Lesson #9: Why choosing the right guests strengthens your authority and expands your reach. [26:01] Lesson #10: The metric that matters more than podcast downloads.   Resources Mentioned in This Episode:  Join me on Substack here to discover what's working now as our industry continues to evolve.

The best engineer Matt Dalio ever hired didn't have a high school diploma. That fact runs through this whole conversation — what building proves that credentials can't.Education is changing because work is changing. AI is already reshaping what people can build, how they learn, and what employers actually value — and Arizona State University has become the clearest picture of where it's going, precisely because of the reputation it had to shake.Matt Dalio, founder of Endless, joins Eric Kasimov. Matt's work centers on one idea: young people should be creators of technology, not just consumers of it. The conversation runs from Arizona State's President Michael Crow measuring success by who a university educates instead of who it rejects, to the engineer with no diploma who outperformed the Stanford hires, to why building games might be the most complete education a kid can get, and what happens to a generation that opts out of AI versus one that learns to wield it.WHAT WE TALK ABOUTWhy Arizona State University (ASU) stands out in higher educationMichael Crow's "realm five learning" — education that's infinitely scalable, infinitely personalized, infinitely affordableWhat "GitHub University" shows about proof of work and why it beat the Stanford hiresWhy portfolios are becoming more important than resumesHow game making teaches technical, creative, and collaborative skillsWhy AI fluency may become a core workforce skillThe difference between using screens to consume and using them to buildGSV (Global Silicon Valley) and spreading the builder mindset beyond the ValleyWhy young people should start building, tinkering, and solving real problemsCHAPTERS00:00 – Arizona State University and innovation in education01:21 – Michael Crow's approach to access and scale03:20 – Changing perceptions of ASU05:33 – Why higher education has to change07:09 – Prestige, jobs, and the shifting value of a degree08:06 – GitHub, proof of work, and hiring without a diploma11:26 – Why portfolio can matter more than pedigree13:08 – AI, marketing, and what students actually need to learn15:15 – Teaching young people to become AI power users16:00 – Why game making teaches multidisciplinary skills18:34 – ASU, scale, and reaching more learners20:33 – Soft skills, collaboration, and real work21:46 – Games, arts, media, and engineering at ASU23:37 – Coding, Claude Code, and technical fluency25:37 – Why Matt still believes code matters28:07 – Screens, phones, Chromebooks, and real computers31:42 – What Gen Z can do now32:31 – Why schools are often anti-AI34:33 – Building as the path to employment35:52 – Burning your resume and building proof37:22 – Moving from Abu Dhabi back to the US38:34 – AI education in the UAE39:15 – Bringing AI education to more people40:39 – Building through contracts, partners, and foundations42:00 – Why America needs broader access to builder skills44:15 – Helping young people join the modern economy45:39 – Public schools and the difficulty of scale46:19 – Kids who are already building their own futures49:26 – Why the traditional system still matters50:00 – Vibe coding an SAT prep tool52:08 – AI concerns, climate, and the risk of opting out55:00 – Global Silicon Valley and spreading the builder mindset57:36 – Games, sports, licensing, and learning through interests59:06 – Game studios, communities, and professional learning01:01:49 – Finding your passion by building01:02:50 – Matt's book and Endless Future01:04:09 – The lean book and shipping early01:04:46 – Where to find Matt Dalio and EndlessConnectMatt Dalio: Website | LinkedInEric Kasimov: X | LinkedInRelated Entrepreneur Perspectives episodesHow AI Is Changing College Counseling and Admissions with Senan Khawaja, CEO of KollegioDavid Selinger on AI Security, $15M Series B, and the Deep Sentinel MissionAnkit Somani | From Google to Conifer: Rare-Earth-Free Motors, $20M Seed, and Rethinking CollegeEntrepreneur Perspectives is produced by QuietLoud Studios.Music by Jess & Ricky — SoundCloud

Leadership development is not about checking boxes. It is about building the awareness, communication, trust, and consistency required to help people grow, perform, and feel safe enough to do meaningful work. LaTonya Wilkins brings a powerful conversation on what it really means to lead below the surface. From psychological safety and culture to coaching, delegation, community, and connection across differences, this master class challenges leaders to stop treating leadership like a static skillset and start looking at how leadership is actually experienced by the people they serve. Learn how to honestly rate your leadership by asking better questions: • How clear is your communication? • How do people experience you in meetings, emails, and difficult conversations? • Are you giving people the guardrails they need without making them too tight? • Are you creating hope, trust, compassion, and stability? • Are you developing people, or just expecting them to perform? • Are burnout, churn, poor delegation, and low trust signs of a deeper leadership problem? This conversation also explores why many leadership development programs fail because they rely on outdated models, performative culture work, and initiatives that were never truly embedded into the organization. Real culture cannot be reduced to perks, titles, slogans, or temporary programs. It has to show up in how leaders communicate, make decisions, build teams, manage change, and create belonging. LaTonya also brings a needed perspective on coaching and community in a noisy market where too many people sell quick fixes without doing the real work. Strong leadership, real coaching, and healthy culture are all relationship businesses. They require trust, self-awareness, accountability, and the right people around you at every stage. For executives, founders, HR leaders, coaches, consultants, people managers, and anyone responsible for leading others, this conversation is a reminder that real leadership still wins when it is rooted in trust, development, culture, coaching, and community.

The funnel most marketers grew up on – see the ad, click, browse, add to cart, buy – did not gradually erode. It came apart almost overnight, as shoppers got comfortable discovering, deciding, and buying inside social feeds and LLMs, often in a single moment. Recorded live at K:LDN 2026 in London, this is the close-out conversation for the series, a step back to ask what actually replaces the funnel and what it demands of the brands trying to keep pace. Alicia Esposito of Future Commerce sits down with Kelsey Capps, who leads Klaviyo's product work across analytics, personalization, and AI, and so has a front-row seat to the change. A shopper can now find a product in a TikTok comment, buy it, and post about it before the marketing team has time to react, which means the advance-planning window marketers relied on has all but vanished. Kelsey's argument is that brands have to rebalance, away from a roughly 80/20 split of campaigns over automated flows and toward signal-triggered automation that can react in the moment, like a flow that fires when someone arrives from a ChatGPT referral. Underneath the tactics sits a bigger shift: optimizing your site and product data so the machines doing the discovering can actually surface you, and building an operating model around understanding customers rather than merely targeting them. Her closing note is optimistic. The data advantage that once belonged only to enterprises is now within reach of the smallest brand, and because customer intelligence compounds, the brands that start building the model first are the ones that pull away. What you'll learn What replaces the linear funnel once discovery, comparison, and conversion happen at once Why the advance-planning window has collapsed, and what to do about it How to rebalance from campaigns toward signal-triggered automated flows Why optimizing your product data and brand voice for machines is now table stakes How a single wrong recommendation breaks trust, and why understanding beats targeting Why customer intelligence compounds, and why first movers pull away Pull quotes "Customers don't want to be just targeted, they want to be understood." — Kelsey Capps [13:50] "You can see when someone came to your site from ChatGPT. That's just a UTM source on an event, and a brand could automate a workflow around it." — Kelsey Capps [16:15] "This conversation used to be confined to the four walls of industry events. Now your family and friends are having the same conversations about how their data is being used." — Alicia Esposito [23:01] "Even your smallest mom-and-pop shop can take advantage of their first-party data in a way they just never could before." — Kelsey Capps [24:55] Chapters 0:00 Cold open and introductions 5:23 Perpetual commerce and the collapse of the funnel 6:11 Discovering and buying inside a TikTok comment 11:43 Understanding customers, not just targeting them 14:46 Optimizing your data for the machines doing the discovering 15:40 The vanishing planning window, campaigns versus flows 17:08 Composer and orchestration pulling it together 19:03 Vision in the age of autonomy 22:00 The turkey-sub story, how a bad recommendation breaks trust 23:43 What Kelsey is optimistic about, and the urgency for laggards In-Show Mentions: Learn more about Klaviyo's Composer Associated Links: Check out Future Commerce on YouTube Check out Future Commerce Plus for exclusive content and save on merch and print Subscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce world Listen to our other episodes of Future Commerce Have any questions or comments about the show?

"Service is the new storefront" has been a slogan for the better part of a decade, usually followed by a promise to turn a cost center into a profit center that never quite arrived. What changed is not the ambition. It is that the plumbing finally exists. Recorded live at K:LDN 2026 in London, this conversation is about what becomes possible when a brand can pull customer data from any channel and hand it, in real time, to a human or an AI agent. Phillip Jackson sits down with Kelly Thacker of Klaviyo's product marketing team. Her argument is that the prize is democratization: taking the best in-store associate, the person who knows both the products and the customer, and making that experience available on every channel and to every brand, not just the ones who can staff a great team. Kelly is candid about the failure mode too, the dumb bot that asks a loyal VIP for an email address it should already have. The fix is an agent that knows the business and the customer, with escalation rules the brand sets and widens as trust grows. The number that makes the case is blunt: where is my order is still the most common question to any agent, human or AI, and automating it hands time back to people for the work that actually needs them. She closes by looking further out, to a world where marketing and service stop being separate departments and brands begin building for agent-to-agent shopping, where a customer's agent transacts with a brand's. You Don't Have to Babysit Your Agent Anymore What you'll learn Why the cost-center-to-profit-center promise is finally deliverable, and what specifically changed What separates an agent that delights from the dumb bot that frustrates How brands set the line between automation and human escalation, and widen it over time Why where is my order is the single most valuable question to automate How service data feeds back into marketing and the rest of the relationship What agent-to-agent shopping is, and why it is closer than it sounds Pull quotes "You could be the most loyal VIP customer, and then a chatbot asks, can you give me your email address, and you think, you should just know me." — Kelly Thacker, Product Marketing, Klaviyo [TK] "We meet customers where they are. You build for the future, and you help them slowly get comfortable with that change." — Kelly Thacker [TK] "A poor experience with an agent feels worse than a poor experience with a human, so the human in the loop has to be so important to this." — Phillip Jackson [TK] "This is the moment where people will either rise to the occasion or they'll be forgotten." — Kelly Thacker [TK] Chapters [TK] Cold open and introductions [TK] Service is the new storefront, an old promise made real [TK] Democratizing the best in-store associate [TK] The dumb bot, and what a good agent must know [TK] Human in the loop, escalation rules the brand controls [TK] Where is my order, automating the most common question [TK] Signals from a service chat that make marketing smarter [TK] The future, one brand experience and agent-to-agent shopping [TK] Brands doing service and experience well In-Show Mentions: Learn more about Klaviyo's Composer Associated Links: Check out Future Commerce on YouTube Check out Future Commerce Plus for exclusive content and save on merch and print Subscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce world Listen to our other episodes of Future Commerce Have any questions or comments about the show?
