Navigating the Growth Dilemma with Ryan Hamilton   Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova.    I'm thrilled to welcome Ryan Hamilton to the show this week. Ryan is an associate professor of marketing at Emory University's Goizueta Business School. He has consulted on branding with Walmart, FedEx, Home Depot, Caterpillar, ConAgra, Cigna, Visa, and Ipsos, among others, and has been a keynote speaker. He cohosts a podcast, called The Intuitive Customer, which applies the insights of behavioral science to customer experience. He has produced lecture series on both marketing and human decision making for The Great Courses. He is the co-author of a new book, The Growth Dilemma.    THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR…anyone navigating brand growth and customer strategy decisions across evolving markets and customer segments.   TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE…growth is a natural goal for businesses, but attracting new customers can unintentionally alienate the ones you already have. Ryan calls this the growth dilemma. As you expand your customer base, you risk creating conflicts between different groups of customers, conflicts that can undermine your success. Ryan outlines four kinds of customer conflict and how businesses can better anticipate and manage them before making big moves.   KEY TAKEAWAYS: Growth can backfire if you don't manage customer conflicts Start by maximizing value from existing customers before chasing new ones The four common conflict types are functional, brand image, user identity, and ideological   WHAT I LOVE MOST…Ryan's insight that brands often chase new customers without realizing the conflicts it creates, when the gold might already be in their existing customer base.   Running Time: 27:02    Subscribe on iTunes     Find Tiffani Online: LinkedIn Facebook X    Find Ryan Online: LinkedIn   Ryan & Annie's Book: The Growth Dilemma: Managing Your Brand When Different Customers Want Different Things

Author and evangelist Kevin Mann closed out our 3-day Camp Meeting with a message that asked the listener a vitally important question. Bro. Mann asked "When tragedy strikes...what then will you do, and what will YOU continue to do for the Lord?" That's a great question, and one that every Christian should be able to answer because at some point, tragedy will strike.

Katie Wray Schon joins us to talk about Pauline Baynes, the subject of her new book, Painting Wonder!  It's been a long-held goal of this podcast to devote at least one episode to Pauline Baynes--who, while not an Inkling, illustrated both the Narnia chronicles and many of Tolkien's short stories--in addition to being one of the best illustrators of the 20th Century. Luckily, Katie Wray Schon has just written and published a children's picture book about Baynes' life, and she joins me to talk about both her work and Baynes'. We talk about Baynes' life--her childhood in India, her discovery of storybooks at dreary British boarding school, her work for the British Navy in WWII, and her career as an illustrator. Sadly, many of the non-Narnian books Baynes illustrated or created are now out of print or hard to obtain. They include, but aren't limited to: I Believe: The Nicene Creed Noah and the Ark Questionable Creatures: A Bestiary Good King Wenceslas A Dictionary of Chivalry, by Grant Uden Miracle Plays: Seven Medieval Plays for Modern Players, by Anne Malcolmson All Things Bright and Beautiful The Arabian Nights, by Amabel Williams-Ellis The Snail and the Caterpillar, by Helen Piers Let There Be Light It would be a worthy project for someone (perhaps a new small press, or even an old, big one) to begin publishing these books again.  In the meantime, of course, pick up Katie Wray Schon's book! Thanks for listening, as always! We'll see you again in two weeks! To drop me a note or an episode suggestion, write inklingsvarietyhour@gmail.com To encourage all those (okay, mainly me) who make this podcast possible, leave us (or me) a five-star review on itunes!   We've (okay, I've) got a lot more fantastic episodes coming this season, including: Leaf by Niggle with Ned Bustard and Matt Wheeler The Abolition of Man: A Roundtable Discussion Lilith, by George MacDonald The Oxford History of English Literature (O-HEL Yes!) with Katherine Wyma That Hideous Strength with Joseph Weigel Tolkien's Poetry, with Jonathan Geltner Choose-Your-Own-Adventure 80's Narnia Book (That's right), with Matt Wheeler And quite a bit more, but I am tired of listing things...

Welcome to Accelerate Your Business Growth! In today's episode, host Diane Helbig sits down with Gair Maxwell—author, brand strategist, and keynote speaker whose influence spans powerhouse names like Apple, Caterpillar, and NAPA. Gair brings his broadcast journalist flair to the conversation as he reveals what it really takes for everyday leaders and small to midsize businesses to build irresistible brands.

European Gray wolves have recovered in the last decade and according to a study, they increased by 60% in 2022. The increase is especially impressive since in Europe wolves must share a largely human-dominated landscape. Also we hear about a type of caterpillar known as the ‘bone collector' has been discovered by researchers, which wears dead insect body parts to disguise itself from spiders.All to discuss with Dr Ruth Freeman Director of Research for Society For Research Ireland.With thanks to Repak.

US stocks rallied on Friday after stronger-than-expected jobs growth in April boosted investor confidence. The S&P 500 rose for a ninth straight session—its longest winning streak since 2004—with all sectors finishing in the green. Communication services led the gains, driven by a 4% jump in Meta shares. Financials also advanced, with the KBW Bank Index climbing 4% over the week, while industrials were buoyed by a 3% lift in Caterpillar and 3M. In commodities, oil prices slid 1.5%, marking their biggest weekly decline since March while gold futures also eased back from record highs. Closer to home, futures suggest a positive start for the ASX 200, as investors turn their attention to the upcoming confession season.

The Ag-Net News Hour Hosts, Lorrie Boyer and Nick Papagni, “The Ag Meter,” discuss the recent US-Ukraine natural resources deal, highlighting the $50 billion aid without strings attached, expected to boost Ukraine's economy and security. The deal includes lithium and other minerals, with proceeds split between US aid repayment and Ukraine's redevelopment. The hosts also touch on trade negotiations with Japan and the EU, and the impact of tariffs on US companies like GM and Caterpillar. Additionally, they discuss Ford's potential return to flex fuel vehicles, supported by corn organizations, and the challenges of electric vehicles, including battery technology and infrastructure.   In the second segment, Nick and Lorrie talk about California's water situation, noting that two reservoirs, Shasta and Oroville, are at full capacity for the third consecutive year, despite only allocating 50% water to Central Valley farmers. California's reservoirs are at 118% of normal capacity. However, only 30% of the state's water supply comes from snowpack, which often goes to the ocean. The conversation also touch on the bird flu outbreak, with a new strain, D1.1, confirmed in Nevada cattle, raising concerns about wider spread and human health risks. Nick emphasized the importance of cooking meat properly to avoid infection.   The Ag-Net News Hour hosts then discuss the current state of the citrus market, noting a limited supply of Navel oranges pushing prices up, while Valencia oranges are abundant but smaller. Lemons are making a comeback, with prices depressed due to competition from imports. The California walnut market is strong, with three consecutive years of above-average rainfall benefiting growth. The show also highlights the versatility of walnuts in baking and the importance of good marketing strategies in the nut industry. With a little fun, they had an ag fact concluding the segment, stating a high-producing dairy cow yields 10.5 pounds of cheese daily.

Wie durft er nog vooruit te kijken in deze tijden van volatiliteit? De experts in BeursTalk doen een poging en komen, wellicht verrassend, tot een geruststellende conclusie. "Begin april, na 'Liberation Day', had ik niet durven voorspellen dat de Nasdaq april positief zou afsluiten", zegt Reinder Wietsma, portfolio manager bij het Centive Global Equity Fund. Hij ziet natuurlijk ook dat april een bizarre beursmaand was. Maar het sentiment is per saldo, zeker op deelsectoren, sterk. Ook Richard de Jong ziet dat het sentiment rustiger is geworden. "De VIX, die de volatiliteit weergeeft, is weer gehalveerd en ook op de obligatiemarkt lijkt de rust weergekeerd. Wat me vooral opvalt is dat slechte cijfers van sommige bedrijven, zoals Caterpillar, niet meer leiden tot een koersdaling." Voor Richard is dat een signaal dat slecht nieuws door de markt inmiddels wel is ingeprijsd. Als we het hebben over deelsectoren die sterk blijven presteren, dan geldt dat met name voor de techbedrijven zoals Meta, Microsoft en, in eigen land, ASM en Adyen. Allen bleken geen last te hebben van tumult of handelsoorlogen. Later deze week zullen we zien of andere techreuzen dezelfde veerkracht laten zien. Verder in de podcast aandacht voor Akzo Nobel, dat mogelijk de verf-divisie van BASF overneemt en we bespreken wat de gevolgen zijn als DoorDash Deliveroo weet in te lijven. Uiteraard bespreken we de luisteraarsvragen en geven de experts hun tips. Reinder kiest een Amerikaans elektrotechnisch concern, Richard tipt een ETF met de ISIN-code IE00BF16M727.

DAMION1White House blasts Amazon over tariff cost report: ‘Hostile and political act'The White House on Tuesday slammed Amazon for reportedly planning to display the cost of President Donald Trump's tariffs next to the total price of products on its site.“This is hostile and political act by Amazon,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters. “Why didn't Amazon do this when the Biden administration hiked inflation to the highest level in 40 years?” Leavitt asked.The Trump administration's aggressive swipe came in response to a report that Amazon will soon show consumers how much of an item's cost comes from tariffs. The amount added as a result of tariffs will be displayed right next to each product's total listed price, a person familiar with the plan told the news outlet.WHO DO YOU BLAME?CEO Andrew Jassy.He's the “boss.”Maybe he feels emasculated?Lowest overall batting average (.308)only 6% influence compared to his boss, Jeff Bezos (67%)Not paid like traditional CEOs (relying instead on his $275M in unvested equity) and the $38M that vested last year; so when he's hanging out withHis buddies like Target CEO Brian Cornell ($20M) eBay CEO Jamie Iannone ($22M) have the total summary compensation bragging rights. Not to mention the sad, unmanly CEO Pay Ratio which is listed as 43:1 for Jassy and 753:1 for the DEI-hating Cornell Jeffrey Preston Bezos (67%)I mean he's the actual boss, right?Executive Chair, founder, former CEO, superstar.Hangs out with people like Katy Perry, has a newspaper, sends penis rockets to nowhere, has pretend funds named after himself like the Bezos Earth Fund and the Bezos Day One FundBoard member and former Pepsi CEO Indra NooyiOr maybe this is a DEI problem? Amazon's Audit Committee is tasked with stuff like operational risks, and legal and regulatory matters. Indra chairs this committeeIndra is also involved with very woke-y/DEI-y:stuff like science (Trustee of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center)Stuff like math (Member of the Dean's Advisory Council at MIT's School of Engineering)Stuff like art (Trustee of the National Gallery of Art)And stuff like giving a shit about people, stakeholder-y capitalism stuff (Director of Partnership for Public Service, whose mission is to inspire a new generation of civil servants and to transform the way government works)Former President Joe BidenAmazon later clarified that the plan to show tariff surcharges was “never approved” and is “not going to happen.” Trump personally called Bezos on Tuesday morning to express his displeasure about the initial report that spurred the heated response from the White House.Trump world's Laura Loomer takes aim at a 'woke' Lockheed Martin and its $2 trillion F-35 programLaura Loomer, the far-right activist who has a direct line to President Donald Trump, criticized Lockheed Martin's F-35 program over the weekend, decrying the US defense giant as "woke" and lashing out against the expensive stealth aircraft.In a lengthy post on X, Loomer suggested Lockheed Martin is delivering F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighters that "are simply not ready for combat.""The F-35 program, one of the most expensive weapons programs in history, is plagued by delays, defects, & downright incompetence," she wrote Saturday. She said the US Air Force is accepting jets that lack "functional" radar systems, without offering evidence.She also claimed that Lockheed is "increasingly obsessed with pushing a woke agenda." Like many other US defense contractors, Lockheed scrapped its diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in January after Trump returned to the White House.The $2 trillion F-35 program is an appealing target for activists and officials seeking to slash government spending, and it has a well-documented list of problems. The Pentagon's top weapons tester said earlier this year that the program had problems delivering functional software and had fallen behind schedule to test upgraded mission systems.WHO DO YOU BLAME?The 2025 Proxy Statement that mentions “diversity” five times!Of course all five of those instances were in the anti-woke/anti-DEI shareholder proposal introduced by the Bahnsen Family Trust.Not sure how this even made the proxy after Lockheed's anti-DEI move in January: “As we publicly stated following the issuance of President Trump's January 2025 Executive Order on DEI, we will not have goals or incentives based on demographic representation or Affirmative Action Plans. We are actively reviewing our workforce-related policies to ensure they are, and remain, compliant and aligned with the Executive Order and all related applicable legal precedent.”The three-headed white guy leadership group (53% influence)CEO/Chair James Taiclet (25%): $24M in payLead Independent Director and Nominating Committee chair Thomas J. Falk (13%)“Independent” since 2010David Burritt (15%)Longest-tenured director (2008-)Busy beaver: two committees (Audit and Pay); CEO of US. SteelSince this is a woke/DEI issue: the black guy:Nevermind, there are no black people on this boardA woman? It would have to be Debra Reed-Klages (17%)While she has no leadership roles she does sit on the board of Caterpillar, which also removed its DEI policies. What, what?Investors. They should have been holding Lockheed accountable, right?According to MSCI data, average support since 2015 is 95%; no director has even received less than 92% since 2017Say on Pay support is routinely over 90%Starbucks union rejects company's recent offer of at least 2% annual pay raiseStarbucks union delegates involved in contract bargaining voted to reject the coffee chain's latest proposal that guaranteed annual raises of at least 2%, Workers United said. Out of the 490 baristas representing the company's more than 550 unionized U.S. stores, 81% rejected the proposal, which did not offer any changes to economic benefits such as healthcare or any immediate pay hike.WHO DO YOU BLAME?The union, for being greedy.The company pays its baristas about $19 an hour on average currently. That's $39,520 before taxes. A 2% raise would result in an increase of $790.40!InvestorsAverage director support of 96% over past 2 yearsEven 86% support for new CEO Brian Niccol's $96M, including $5M in funny munny cashAnd a devilishly perverse CEO pay ratio of 6,666 to 1.Not to mention Use of Starbucks aircraft for travel between city of primary residence and Starbucks headquarters AND up to $250,000 in personal non-commuting travel per yearWhich brings us to the CEO, Brian Niccol, a guy so wonderful that they scrapped the independent chair nonsense and gave him both titles: CEO and ChairLead Independent Director and Nominating Committee chair Jørgen Vig KnudstorpAveraged over 10% votes against over the past 3 AGMs: which is essentially an investor revolutionHis favorite drink–the Caramel Macchiato–is 250 calories with 33g of sugar: the American Heart Association recommends that women consume no more than 25 grams per dayMATT1Novavax appoints Charles Newton to board of directorsChuck Newton has a background from BofA Merrill, Credit Suisse, Morgan Stanley, and Lehman as an investment banker, and is now CFO at a pharma company.

Trump calls for mining the sea floor in new executive order; Scientists have discovered a new species of caterpillar in the Waiʻanae Mountains, nicknamed "the bone collector."

"The higher we soar, the smaller we appear to those who cannot fly." - Friedrich NietzscheWe are back again with another episode based around our very own Jay Doran's work entitled Thirty Days of Thought.  Today, Jay is reflecting on the section of the book entitled "Caterpillar to Butterfly" by looking at it metaphorically as a chance to grow and change within your business and everyday life.  Whether it begins with correcting past mistakes, taking responsibility for repairing a damaged relationship, or simply expanding your horizons, the metamorphosis begins and ends with you.  We hope you enjoy this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

First up on the podcast, bringing Gregor Mendel's peas into the 21st century. Back in the 19th century Mendel, a friar and naturalist, tracked traits in peas such as flower color and shape over many generations. He used these observations to identify basic concepts about inheritance such as recessive and dominant traits. Staff Writer Erik Stokstad talks with host Sarah Crespi about the difficulty of identifying genes for these phenotypes all these years later. We also hear some other stories from the plant world, including evidence that wavy fields are more attractive to insects and a tree benefits from being struck by lightning.   Next on the show, a carnivorous caterpillar that haunts spiderwebs, camouflaged in its insect prey's body parts. Producer Kevin McLean talks with Daniel Rubinoff, a professor in the department of plant and environmental protection sciences at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, about how such an adaptation might have evolved and the overlooked importance of insect conservation.    Finally, we kick off our 2025 books series on the science of death and dying. Books host Angela Saini and books editor Valerie Thompson talk about the challenges of putting this year's list together and the reads they are looking forward to.   This week's episode was produced with help from Podigy.   About the Science Podcast   Authors: Sarah Crespi; Erik Stokstad; Kevin McLean; Valerie Thompson; Angela Saini  Learn more about your ad choices.

Bigfoot Destroys Heavy EquipmentBill, a forest ranger student and Timber Cruiser in Eureka, California, worked alone on weekends marking redwood trees for logging. One Monday, he and the logging crew arrived at their forest landing—a cleared area for storing equipment and fuel—to find an astonishing scene: three 55-gallon fuel drums had been thrown down a hill, a locked tool shed was overturned, and, most unbelievably, three 54-ton D-9 Caterpillar tractors had been flipped onto their sides. The crew was baffled by the immense strength required for such feats, and no explanation for the mysterious incident was ever found.Join my Supporters Club for $4.99 per month for exclusive stories:https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/what-if-it-s-true-podcast--5445587/support

A couple years ago, an entomologist named Martha Weiss got a letter from a little boy in Japan saying he wanted to replicate a famous study of hers. We covered that original study on Radiolab more than a decade ago in an episode called Goo and You – check it out here – and in addition to revealing some fascinating secrets of insect life, it also raises big questions about memory, permanence and transformation. The letter Martha received about building on this study set in motion a series of spectacular events that advance her original science and show how science works when a 12-year-old boy is the one doing it. Martha's daughter, reporter Annie Rosenthal, captured all of it and turned it into a beautiful audio story called “Caterpillar Roadshow.” It was originally published in a brand new independent audio magazine called Signal Hill, which happens to have been created in part by two former Radiolab interns (Liza Yeager and Jackson Roach, both of whom worked on this piece), and we loved it, so we're presenting an excerpt for you here.Special thanks to Annie Rosenthal, Liza Yeager, Jackson Roach, Leo Wong, Omar Etman, the whole team at Signal Hill, Carlos Morales, John Lill, Marfa Public Radio and Emma Garschagen.EPISODE CREDITS: Reported by - Annie RosenthalProduced by - Annie Rosenthalwith help from - Leo Wong and Omar EtmanSound design contributed by - Liza Yeager and Jackson RoachFact-checking by - Alan Deanand Edited by  - Liza Yeager and Jackson RoachEPISODE CITATIONS:Audio -  Listen to the original Radiolab episode, Goo and You, here (https://zpr.io/qh9xqpkXzk7j).Or the Signal Hill podcast here (https://zpr.io/CDfwyK7Zkrva).Guests - And if you want to learn more about Martha Weiss, and her work, head over here (https://zpr.io/aBw2YsqWB6NZ).Signup for our newsletter!!

Show Notes In this conversation, Chris Yates and Simon Western discuss how organizations have become modern temples of power, shaping societal norms in positive and challenging ways. Organizations offer spaces to be productive, to deliver services and to provide meaning and development for individuals, yet they also can stifle individuality and feedback through corporate conformity. The podcast reflects on how art, small acts of kindness and ecosystems thinking are the leadership approaches that can transform organisations and liberate employees to engage relationally and realise their full potential. Chris questions traditional leadership models, highlighting the need to prioritize character over competence and move beyond the military-influenced structures that dominate corporate life. Leadership, they argue, is not about static positions but fluid relationships—emerging in unexpected places and shaped by small moments of humanity rather than grand, ego-driven achievements. The conversation also highlights the burden of projections on leaders, who risk becoming seduced by the images others place upon them. Looking ahead, Simon and Chris consider the future of leadership in a world that increasingly demands authenticity and interconnectedness. They call for a shift to eco-centric leadership,  one that embraces moral responsibility, acknowledges the social role of organizations, and also seeks inspiration from art to reimagine work and leadership. Chris closes by reminding us that the smallest acts of kindness and courage in the face of adversity can reshape leadership, organizations, and society itself. Key Reflections Organizations hold immense power as modern temples, shaping societal norms and driving change. Corporate cultures often enforce conformity, stifling individuality, feedback, and personal identity. Leadership discussions focus too much on competence and too little on the moral character of leaders. Leadership is not a fixed title but a fluid, relational process that can emerge from unexpected places. Leaders must resist being seduced by the projections and expectations placed upon them. The future of leadership requires shifting from ego-driven ambition to collective, eco-centric responsibility. True leadership is found not in grand gestures but in small, everyday acts of humanity. Creativity and art offers a powerful lens to rethink work, leadership, and our role in the world. Keywords corporate culture, society, leadership, power dynamics, identity, character, reimagination, eco-leadership Brief Bio Christopher Yates, Senior Vice President of Talent at Equinix, is a leader committed to professional and personal growth within organizations.

Activate OS is transforming equipment management in the construction industry with a networked approach that connects fleet owners with their equipment providers. Starting as a consulting project to solve equipment management challenges for Caterpillar, Activate OS has evolved into a comprehensive platform that facilitates real-time collaboration between construction companies and their equipment dealers and rental partners. In this episode of Category Visionaries, we spoke with Brian Giamo, CEO and Co-Founder of Activate OS, about the company's journey from a consulting business offshoot to a SaaS platform that's creating network effects and delivering measurable value to some of the largest construction projects in the country. Topics Discussed: Activate's origin story as a consulting project for Caterpillar The evolution from broad market approach to a focused go-to-market strategy How Activate connects fleet owners with equipment dealers and rental companies The three-stage go-to-market model that creates network effects The shift in VC interest toward construction tech verticals Future vision for expanding into transaction facilitation and AI-enabled services GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Get laser-focused on your entry point: Brian's team initially tried selling to equipment dealers and rental companies first, expecting them to distribute to fleet owners. After struggling, they flipped their approach to target fleet owners first, which created natural pull from the dealers. As Brian explained, "The natural way that this works is acquire the fleet owner, get them connected to provider, they mutually see value and benefit in keeping their equipment up and running." Sell outcomes, not software: Activate OS doesn't position itself as merely selling software. Brian emphasized, "We're really selling a result. We're really selling production of those assets on a job site and more effective communications to enable that." This outcome-focused approach resonates with customers who care about equipment uptime, not technology. Create strategic network effects: Activate's three-stage go-to-market model (1. acquire fleet owner, 2. connect them to providers, 3. convert providers to distribution partners) creates powerful network effects. Each new customer expands their reach to 5-10 equipment providers who then become potential distribution channels themselves. Be patient with product-market fit: It took Activate nearly six years to truly crystallize their go-to-market approach and product-market fit. Brian acknowledged, "I would say we really have sort of just arrived there in 2022 or 2023. It took a lot of years." Leverage strategic investors from your industry: Activate raised over $4M without traditional fundraising, instead bringing on strategic investors including a major Caterpillar dealer. These industry insiders provided both capital and valuable market insights, creating mutual benefits beyond just funding.   //   Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe.  www.GlobalTalent.co
