Leave feedback!Today I am speaking with Ben Huh, a pioneering entrepreneur, co-founder, and investor. Many listeners will know Ben as the visionary behind the massive success of Cheezburger, the internet sensation that transformed memes and user-generated content into a business powerhouse.Ben's career spans decades of innovation, from his early entrepreneurial efforts to his role as a thought leader in web3. He's currently an integral part of Orange DAO, where he continues to champion tech, web3, crypto, and DAOs.During this interview, we explore Ben's remarkable journey—from growing up as the son of immigrants, his time at Northwestern University, the rise of Cheezburger, to his current work empowering the next generation of web3 entrepreneurs. I think you'll find Ben's insights into meme culture, decentralization, and entrepreneurship are second to none.Show Notes and TranscriptsThe GRTiQ Podcast takes listeners inside web3 and The Graph (GRT) by interviewing members of the ecosystem.  Please help support this project and build the community by subscribing and leaving a review.Twitter: GRT_iQwww.GRTiQ.com

Literally Media CEO Oren Katzeff explains the approach, along with Literally's emphasis on IP-based video franchises and more.

What would the Internet be without pictures and videos of cats doing ridiculous things? Luckily, we'll never have to find out, and it's thanks, in part, to Ben Huh.In the early 2000s, Ben bought a popular cat meme website called I Can Haz Cheezburger and he turned it into the Cheezburger Network, one of the Internet's most popular user-submitted content websites. In its heyday, the site was so popular it produced everything from coffee table books to reality television shows.As social media matured, user-submitted content websites waned in popularity, and along with it, so did Cheezburger Network, but not before Ben's sites forever flooded the Internet with thousands of memes that we might never escape.For a complete transcript of the episode, click here.

This week on the show, we're talking about one of our favorite ways to eat a potato: potato chips! And we're going to eat the new Mac and Cheezburger from Revolution Doughnuts.Show notes:The thing Becky is thinking about doing to her skates is called loosening the trucks. She still has not done that, as of this writing.The skates Becky mentioned are Jacksons. They come in vegan suede!News item: Upton's Naturals has merged its cafe and vegan donut shop to create a new vegan restaurant: Liberation Kitchen. The other vegan spots we mentioned from Chicago are: Chicago Diner, Gulino's Pizza (formerly House of Za), and Voodoo Doughnuts.The generic brand of chips that TV shows use is Let's.The pickles that Becky mentioned wanting to put into the leftover Mac and Cheezburger Doughnut were Wickles.Thank you so much for listening. We record these episodes for you, and we'd love to hear from you. Got a favorite vegan treat that you think we should cover on the podcast? Send your suggestions to talkintofupod@gmail.com!

“Be kind to yourself by starting with little baby steps and it will build overtime.” Jen Hope By being empathetic and being kind to self, leaders gain the ability to demonstrate similar empathy towards other people.

Jen Hope is a Business and Executive Leadership Coach who leans on more than 20 years of executive experience, business acumen, and empathy to create a safe coaching environment where leaders can grow and thrive. Before launching her executive coaching practice in 2013, Jen held marketing leadership roles at B2C tech companies. As Head of Marketing, she led the Cheezburger humor network through stages of rapid growth. At Trover, a lifestyle travel app, Jen was Vice President of Marketing and engineered the rise of the brand from startup to acquisition by Expedia in 2015.

[3:28] One of the outcomes of our work is empathy. [3:53] I come from the world of digital marketing with a experience of 20 years as a marketing leader. [4:06] The other thing that I talk about a lot, and what is at the center of my business is skill building that we can all use to be more effective and more aware. [7:22] We can create that kindness for ourselves by taking care and managing ourselves. [8:08] How do we get to the place where we can pause and move on to do something that's more effective. [13:05] We need to identify the planning that we can do around the pauses so as to be able to have some more flow in that versus this kind of jerky stop-start. [14:55] Commercial break. [18:06] One of the biggest things I have learnt is managing my expectations, and even being aware of them. [21:27] Coming from the world of being a marketer working with many parts of organizations, as well as having lots of resources, managing my expectations aided me when I became my own entrepreneur. [22:08] I called myself a recovering perfectionist because I really had to reset my expectations and embrace some of the challenge. [23:15] To help my clients, I use some data such as assessments that have been used studying human behavior for hundreds of years. [25:55] Because we start with behavior, it makes it easy to get comfortable with some of the vulnerability of looking inward. [26:25] It's never about getting in and poking holes or jabbing, but rather about holding up the mirror and observing with tiny bits of tenderness. [28:00] Judging ourselves into behavior change never really works. [28:42] Be kind to yourself by starting with little baby steps and it will build overtime.

As businesses start to slowly open back up across many countries, it's imperative that companies focus on the mental health of their employees as well as support their physical wellbeing. One of the best ways for entrepreneurs and startup founders to ensure this happens is to lead the charge themselves. The same way I share self-care practices on many of my episodes, as a leader it is very important to make people comfortable. The cost of saying or doing nothing: It may involve chronic pain, anxiety and potentially damage work relationships. Rethink your policies and management style: Inadequate policies and poor communication will likely impact the overall productivity. Tell your own story: Ben Huh, the CEO and founder of Cheezburger, wrote an article about his own struggle with suicidal thoughts after a failed startup experience. Sean Percival, a co-founder of children's clothing company Wittlebee, also wrote openly about how the 2013 suicide of a colleague and fellow startup founder impacted his own mental health and encouraged other struggling entrepreneurs to speak up and ask for help. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/nadjmat/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/nadjmat/support

Today, join business coach Jen Hope and I as we discuss her background and expertise in fitness and some of her moments teaching LesMills programs, her battle with depression/anxiety and how she was able to take back her life, as well as empowerment – how you can up-level your life, both personally and professionally. A huge reason why I wanted to interview Jen is she is a wonderful friend and mentor of mine. She and I have shared experiences, like our personal battles with depression and anxiety, and how we live with those challenges every day. But she and I have both realized that it is now our mission to destigmatize outdated and false perceptions about mental health issues, and to encourage and support others who want to push beyond barriers. Listen in as Jen shares her favorite ways to stay grounded physically, mentally, and emotionally, the paleo and healthy treats she swears by, and how to start saying “YES” – in life, business, in order find your big why.  Jen Hope is a business coach, a former health and fitness instructor, and chief bullshit slayer.  One part tenderness, two parts humor, and 100% “let’s do this thing!” Jen is a results-driven executive who values authenticity, actualizing potential, and connection. Graduating with her BS in Marketing from Arizona State University, Jen has nearly two decades worth of marking experience and has spent the last 10 years of her career helping scale organizations. Jen was the VP of Marketing for the company Cheezburger – the brand that popularized memes – taking it from a 30-person company to 200+ with a TV show on Bravo. As VP of Marketing, Jen helped build lifestyle travel brand Trover and position it for sale to Expedia. Now Jen uses her expertise and no-excuses policy to help mentor and coach other entrepreneurs –  those that want to up-level their life and business through actionable steps and true accountability.

“It’s brand or be branded.” That’s the ultimatum that Deb Gabor presented this week on the On Brand podcast. The founder and CEO of Sol Marketing and author of the new bestselling book Branding Is Sex explained that if you aren’t talking to your customers, finding out what’s important to them, and making that a part of your brand story, you run the risk of being branded by them. She discussed all of this on the On Brand podcast. About Deb Gabor Deb Gabor is the founder and CEO of Sol Marketing. Deb Gabor was born to brand. Deb is a brand dominatrix and investor pitch whisperer with legendarily bad travel karma. In her capacity as Sol’s strategic and spiritual leader, Deb has led research engagements and brand strategy development for organizations ranging from international household names like Dell, Goldman Sachs, Microsoft and NBC Universal, to digital winners like Allrecipes, Cheezburger and Rentpath, to well-loved Austin icons like Austin Ventures, KUT/KUTX, ZACH Theatre, HomeAway, RetailMeNot, The University of Texas at Austin and St. Edward’s University. Deb is author of the bestselling book, Branding is Sex. Get Your Customer Laid and Sell the Hell Out of Anything. Before starting Sol Marketing in 2003, Deb was Senior Vice President at Citigate Cunningham, a strategic communication firm serving technology digital media and financial brands around the world. Prior to that, Deb was the managing director of brand research and strategy at IntelliQuest. Before crossing the chasm to agency work, Deb worked in house as a brand manager and marketing manager at several high tech companies in the Chicago area. Deb is a proud member of the Austin chapter of the Entrepreneurs Organization and serves on the board as Learning Chair. Additionally, she has served on the board of directors of the Jewish Community Association of Austin and Austin Children’s Theatre, and on the ZACH Theater board’s marketing committee. Episode Highlights So what does it mean to be ‘born to brand.’ “The legendary basketball coach John Wooden said that he was ‘born to coach.’ He ‘couldn’t not coach.’ That’s how he sees the world. Brands are how I see the world. They exist in the hearts and minds of our customers.” Deb’s definition of a brand? “It’s the sum total of all relationships, connections, and emotions around a person or organization.” The Deb Gabor Mini MBA in Branding. “It comes down to three questions — (1) What does using your brand or your product allow the customer to say about themselves? (2) What single thing do you do better than anyone else? (3) How do you make your customer the hero of your story? Brands that do this — that make people feel — will win today.” Brand storytelling vs. the story of your brand. Deb reminded us that while brand storytelling — an extension of content marketing — is very big right now, it’s not the same thing as telling the story of your brand. “The story of your brand is one that your customer is the hero of.” Deb shared how Zappos does this masterfully. Beware of the ‘-ers’ and ‘-ity.’ These word extensions can be dangerous as they focus less on emotions and more on attributes that can ultimately be copied. Smaller, faster, lighter. You have to be more than this as a brand. What brand has made Deb smile recently? As someone with “legendarily bad travel karma,” Deb notes that her recent experiences with Jet Blue have made her smile recently.

Ben Huh is an entrepreneur and world traveler. He calls himself an Internet Content Connoisseur and from 2007 - 2015, he was CEO of The Cheezburger Network, which includes the popular blogs I Can Has Cheezburger, FAIL Blog and Know Your Meme among many, many others. Now, for the last 9 months since he’s stepped down from the company, he’s been on a whirlwind sabbatical of a lifetime, visiting bucket list type places like Africa, Antarctica, Cuba, and Easter Island to name only a few. I caught up with him in between exotic destinations during a 24-hour layover in his hometown of Seattle to chat about why he’s traveling, the importance of moderation (specifically as it relates to politics and getting along), why he feels guilty while he’s on the road and what the future holds — not just for his journey, but also for all of our digital lives.  Full show notes available: andreawien.com/ben-huh

Google tries to out-cool the Library of Congress by archiving tweets. Apple and Twitter dive into their own app advertising ecosystem. Stupid Fight is both stupid AND mildly addicting. Our guest this week on the show is Cheezburger Networks CTO Scott Porad. Scott paints a picture of how the market can successfully drive product innovation, and shows just how successful a community building initiative can be. Not a Cheezburger fan? You will be... you. will. be.
