Welcome to episode #998 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Annie Wilson is a marketing professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and co-author, with Ryan Hamilton, of The Growth Dilemma - Managing Your Brand When Different Customers Want Different Things. Her work examines the deep interplay between consumer behavior, culture and brand identity, helping leaders understand why growth often creates as many risks as it does opportunities. In The Growth Dilemma, Annie unpacks how efforts to reach new customer segments can clash with the values of loyal buyers, sometimes threatening the very meaning of a brand. Drawing from real-world examples (from Apple's software missteps to Gucci's unintended association with reality TV fame) she reveals how scarcity, exclusivity and cultural perception shape brand power in ways most executives overlook. Beyond brand strategy, Annie's research and teaching explore the ways marketing has evolved as a discipline, especially in an era of AI, fragmented media and globalization. She highlights how authenticity, community and cultural nuance are becoming non-negotiable for sustainable success, and why short-termism remains one of the most dangerous traps for modern marketers. For those navigating the intersection of consumer connection and cultural influence, Annie offers a critical lens on how to balance growth with integrity, how to adapt without betraying your core identity and how to see branding not just as a commercial practice, but as a cultural one. This conversation is essential listening for anyone grappling with the future of marketing in an age of shifting consumer expectations, technological disruption and global homogenization.

Our friend Jane Adshead-Grant says this is key in furthering our hope to build a better world: "As we begin to share the message of what it means to be a Truly Human Leader, to take the responsibility of leadership and be this great steward of people who have been entrusted to us… What I see, time and time again is that there are few role models that enable our future generations to be this way. And so, for me, it's about how do we role model this way of being in the world? And it isn't just at work, you know, it's how we show up in every day life." We are fortunate to have Jane as one of those role models. Jane shares quite a bit of insight in this episode, including a discussion of the challenges of the changing landscape of leadership. Based in the UK, she has been a leadership coach and mentor for almost 20 years. In a conversation with Mary Rudder, Barry-Wehmiller's Director of Communications, Jane talks about some of the challenges her clients are facing in today's world and the tools she uses to help them become better leaders.
Kevin and Zach welcome Alan back to discuss the world of business and entrepreneurship within dentistry. They begin by reminiscing about their childhood "businesses," which leads to a discussion sparked by a conversation Alan had with dental entrepreneur Dr. Mark Costes. The group explores the idea that while dentists of their generation could often succeed with a simple practice, the current landscape of high student debt and large dental organizations demands a more business-minded approach. They debate whether an entrepreneurial spirit is something you're born with or can be developed, and they consider the differences between simply owning a practice, running a dental business, and being a true entrepreneur. The conversation highlights the wide spectrum of career paths available in dentistry today, from being a salaried associate to building a multi-office empire. In this episode of the podcast, hosts Kevin and Zach, along with guest Alan, dive into the world of business and entrepreneurship within dentistry. They begin by reminiscing about their childhood "businesses," which leads to a discussion sparked by a conversation Alan had with dental entrepreneur Mark Costas. The group explores the idea that while dentists of their generation could often succeed with a simple practice, the current landscape of high student debt and large dental organizations demands a more business-minded approach. They debate whether an entrepreneurial spirit is something you're born with or can be developed, and they consider the differences between simply owning a practice, running a dental business, and being a true entrepreneur. The conversation highlights the wide spectrum of career paths available in dentistry today, from being a salaried associate to building a multi-office empire. Key Takeaways Entrepreneurship is a Spectrum: Owning a dental office doesn't automatically make you an entrepreneur. The podcast outlines a spectrum from simply owning a job (a practice that only runs with you there) to having a true business that can function independently, to being a full-on entrepreneur who innovates and scales. The Changing Landscape of Dentistry: The hosts acknowledge that their generation of dentists came into the profession during a "golden age" with less debt and more opportunities for practice ownership. Today, with higher student loans and the rise of Dental Service Organizations (DSOs), younger dentists often need to be more business-savvy to succeed as owners. Technology and Business: The discussion touches on how technology, like digital dentistry and clear aligners, can be a business decision to add new services and level up a practice. This is presented as a way to evolve from a "drill, fill, bill" mindset into a more diverse and profitable business model. Dentistry as a Vehicle: The podcast concludes that dentistry can be a great field for entrepreneurs because it provides a high income that can be used to fund other business ventures, whether within dentistry (like teaching or consulting) or in completely different industries.

Summary In this insightful episode, Shellee from *Parents: Is Your Teen College Ready?* emphasizes the critical importance of early and strategic planning for college, advocating that families begin this process well before high school—ideally from preschool. She highlights that while families commonly plan for major life events like marriage, children, or retirement, very few have a clear plan for their child's educational future. Shellee categorizes families into four groups regarding college planning attitudes: denial, avoidance, do-it-yourself, or hiring an expert, urging parents to recognize their current stance and take action. Shellee shares her personal experience raising her children with a strong emphasis on exploring interests and building foundational skills from an early age, exposing them to various environments, and encouraging leadership, service, and resilience. She stresses that middle school, particularly 8th grade, is the pivotal time to start serious academic and extracurricular planning since it sets the trajectory for high school success and college readiness. The episode also covers the evolving landscape of college admissions, which has become more competitive and costly, making an informed and deliberate approach essential. Through detailed examples from her own family, Shellee illustrates that each child may follow a unique path, but with proper planning, all can graduate debt-free and find success aligned with their goals. Lastly, she warns parents against common misconceptions—such as relying solely on schools, teenagers, or Google for college prep—and encourages early financial conversations and accountability. Shellee offers support through free resources and discovery calls, aiming to empower parents to confidently guide their children through the college planning process. Highlights Early planning for college should start as early as preschool, focusing on children's interests and future options rather than immediate college choices. Middle school, especially 8th grade, is a critical period for academic and extracurricular decisions that impact high school and college readiness. Each child's college journey is unique; a one-size-fits-all approach rarely works, but strategic, personalized planning leads to debt-free success. Avoid common pitfalls: don't assume schools, teens, or the internet can handle college planning alone. Parental involvement is crucial. Financial planning and early money conversations are essential to avoid surprises and ensure college affordability. Exposure to diverse experiences like college visits, leadership, languages, and community service cultivates well-rounded, confident students. The college admissions process has dramatically changed; it is now more competitive, expensive, and complex, requiring expert guidance. Key Insights

Stuart McDonald founded Travelfish to offer true expert insights into Southeast Asian travel destinations.

Adam, Joanna, and Zach discuss a recent piece by Kate Bernot about the changing landscape of alcohol investment: where once there was a lot of money floating around just looking for upstart brands, those investors are a bit thin on the ground now. Yet that doesn't mean that all the opportunities are gone, just that the money still in the alcohol space is a bit more experienced and potentially a bit savvier.

If you think their main job is collecting the rent and organising tradies when something breaks, I've got news for you—things have changed dramatically. In fact, the world of residential property management has been turned on its head in the last five years. New legislation, shifting tenant expectations, work-from-home dynamics, and rapid tech adoption mean that managing your investment property is no longer a simple job you can entrust to just anyone—or worse, do yourself. And if you get this wrong, the consequences can be expensive… and stressful. In today's show I'm joined by Leanne Jopson, National Director of Property Management at Metropole. Leanne's been at the coalface of this transformation, and today she'll reveal how the role of property managers has shifted, what changes are still coming down the pipeline, and what smart investors need to be thinking about to future-proof their portfolios.
