It's not easy to keep pace with constant change. If you want to stand out, you need to pivot (yes, PIVOT!), adapt, and build real connection with your audience.That's the genius of Friends, a cultural phenomenon built on chemistry, community, and conversations that felt timeless. In this episode, we're decoding its lessons with the help of special guest Lisa Cole, Chief Marketing Officer at 2X.Together, we explore what B2B marketers can learn from embracing constant pivots, building your own Central Perk with your community, and why team chemistry often matters more than individual expertise.About our guest, Lisa ColeLisa Cole is currently CMO at 2X. She's a strategic marketing leader with over 24 years of experience driving transformative growth for B2B technology and professional services. As a former CMO at Huron, FARO, and Cellebrite, she has earned industry recognition for enhancing brand positioning, optimizing demand generation, and leveraging AI to accelerate go-to-market strategies. Through her earned accolades from Sirius Decisions, Forrester, and CMO Alliance and her book The Revenue RAMP, she guides B2B leaders in achieving more with less using her proven frameworks. What B2B Companies Can Learn From Friends:Pivot, pivot, pivot. In marketing, staying still isn't an option. New channels, new buyer behaviors, and now AI advancements mean marketers are in a constant state of change. Lisa explains, “Pivot is certainly one, especially now that, it seems like every week there's a new advancement… marketing as a whole is pivot. We're constantly in a period of time in between pivots is compressing.” The same way Ross couldn't move that couch without shouting “Pivot!” every marketer today needs to be ready to shift strategy, adjust direction, and keep moving forward.Create your Central Perk. Every brand needs a place where buyers feel safe, connected, and part of something bigger than a transaction. For the Friends cast, it was Central Perk, a space where they could gather, vent, and support each other without judgment. Lisa says, “You have to create a place… where your target audience, your buyers feel safe to get together and meet and engage as a community… if you care about Central Perk for your buyers, then they'll care about you too.” In B2B, that means investing in communities and experiences where customers can be candid, connect with peers, and build trust—with your brand quietly in the background.Build team chemistry. The Friends cast worked because the chemistry was real—something greater than the sum of its parts. Marketing teams are no different. Lisa says, “Sometimes it's the chemistry that matters more than the expertise. It's not necessarily that I brought together six experts.  It's the way that they work together, sometimes is the real magic.” Great marketing doesn't just come from the smartest experts; it comes from teams (in-house, partners, or both) who click, collaborate, and push each other toward a shared mission.Quote“  I'm not necessarily saying to marketers that this cast needs to be a large in-house marketing team. I'm just simply saying that the people that are in the day-to-day business of executing marketing for your organization, that there is a chemistry between them and that they are working together in a unified way.”Time Stamps[00:55] Meet Lisa Cole, CMO at 2X[01:09] Why Friends?[01:52] The Role of CMO at 2X[03:34] The Creation of Friends[07:54] The Chemistry and Dynamics of Friends[21:59] Marketing Takeaways from Friends[32:17] The Humble Leader[37:36] Introducing Brand Gravity[48:11] 2X's Content Strategy[49:46] Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Lisa on LinkedInLearn more about 2XAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

*How do you lead change when you don't know where you are going (yet)? * Today I sit down with Brian Miller, a change management expert from Coach Approach Ministries, to talk about adaptive change. Adaptive change is when you know something needs to change, but you don't yet know what the solution is. It's not just fixing a broken pipe—it's realizing the whole plumbing system might need to be rethought. It's the kind of change that requires people to shift their values, beliefs, and behaviors, not just learn a new skill. And that's why it's hard—because it's not just about doing something different, it's about becoming someone different. When you lead this kind of change, the danger isn't just that people leave—it's that they check out. So Brian focuses on the following things: keep the pace people can handle, invite them into shaping the vision, really listen to the voices of concern, and anchor the change in habits and identity. That way, people don't just stick around—they stay engaged in the mission.

Când toată lumea se afla în vacanță, zeci de tineri din România, Statele Unite ale Americii, Franța, Italia, Slovacia, Ucraina și Republica Moldova au avut ocazia să se pregătească cu profesori și cercetători de la universități de prestigiu  în cadrul proiectului APEX Scientific. Dacă în 2024, matematica a fost deschizător de drumuri, în 2025 chimia a completat portofoliul taberelor de pregătire APEX. Marius Matache este cercetator, chimist, parte din acest proiect al Asociației InformArt.  APEX Chemistry 2025 s-a petrecut în perioada 20 iulie – 9 august, iar printre invitații a fost și un un laureat al Premiului Nobel pentru Chimie. Jean-Marie Lehn, profesor la Universitatea din Strasbourg și laureat al Premiului Nobel pentru Chimie în 1987, a susținut două prelegeri pentru participanții la APEX Chemistry 2025. Ele au fost urmate de o sesiune de întrebări și răspunsuri. Printre profesorii și cercetătorii de top cu care tinerii chimiști au lucrat în cele trei săptămâni de tabără se mai numără Adrian Șalic (Harvard Medical School), Daniel Funeriu (Universitatea din București), Niculina Hădade (Universitatea Babeș-Bolyai Cluj- Napoca), Ivan Huc (Ludwig Maximilian University, Munchen) Mihaela Matache (Universitatea din București) și Mihaela Florea (Institutul Național de Cercetare- Dezvoltare pentru Fizica Materialelor Măgurele). De asemenea, tabăra include o bogată componentă practică, găzduită de laboratoarele Facultății de Chimie a Universității din București și ale Institutului Național de Cercetare- Dezvoltare pentru Fizica Materialelor. Programul a inclus vizite la Extreme Light Infrastructure – Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP) din Măgurele și Microsin SA (producător de componente active pentru industria farmaceutică). Muzeul BNR și Parcul de Aventură Comana au fost două din experiențele de timp liber de care viitorii chimiști s-au bucurat în cadrul APEX Chemistry 2025 Și tot în perioada vacanței de vară, Asociația InformArt a organizat la București, o competiție internațională pe echipe pentru elevi de liceu, un turneu international de chimie, bazat pe dezbateri științifice, în căutarea unor soluții deschise. Vorbim despre un eveniment ajuns la a VIII-a ediție și care anul acesta a inclus echipe din Romania, Georgia, Coreea de Sud sau Mexic. E interesant că acest concurs propune o cu totul alta abordare fata de olimpiadele școlare clasice. Aici abilitățile științifice, creativitatea, munca în echipa, dar și gândirea publicas au vorbitul în public, sunt elemente care te aduc mai aproape de a căștiga competiția. Amănunte în interviul realizat cu Marius Matache (Asociația InformArt).

This week our hosts, Josh and Jade, dig into Netflix's new adaptation of Richard Osman's bestselling novel The Thursday Murder Club. Directed by Chris Columbus (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Home Alone), the film stars Helen Mirren, Ben Kingsley, Celia Imrie, Pierce Brosnan, and David Tennant in a murder mystery set in a quiet retirement community that's anything but sleepy.The hosts debate whether the ensemble's chemistry makes the story sparkle, if the plot holds up to the hype, and—most importantly—why Pierce Brosnan was even cast in this movie. Is this Netflix's answer to Knives Out, or just more streaming slop? Tune in to hear your favorite hosts talk trash.

Dr. Wilson is a research chemist and coordinator of the Cannabis Research Program in the Chemical Sciences Division at the National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) in Gaithersburg, Maryland. He received his B.S. degree in Chemistry from Greensboro College followed by a M.S. degree in Chemistry from the same institution. He then moved south to pursue a Ph.D. in Chemistry at the University of Central Florida, training in the lab of Prof. Andres D. Campiglia. In a wide-ranging conversation, we discuss the influence of 2000's television shows such as CSI on Brent's interest in forensic science and analytical chemistry, and how an informal interview at a poster session ultimately led to the position he now holds at NIST. Dr. Wilson shares how he navigated the educational landscapes in forensic science and chemistry, both at the undergraduate and graduate levels. We discuss the evolution of cannabis standards and analytical characterization in recent years, and Brent shares his perspective on the importance of standards in general, the birth of a reference material, and the significant effort it takes to bring these materials to the point where analytical scientists like us can purchase them. Dr. Wilson also describes some of his work on low-temperature emission spectroscopy techniques, where molecule exhibit much narrower and specific emission bands compared to room temperature detection. Brent also shares more about the life of a scientist within NIST, from day-to-day activities, competing for federal funding, and more. Finally, Dr. Wilson shares some professional advice, including the importance of being prepared and adaptable, the value of talking with people at conferences, and the importance of establishing and maintaining relationships over the course of one's career.

Welcome to Episode 272 of Autism Parenting Secrets.This week, we're talking about a medicine almost every parent has used. For decades, doctors have recommended it for fevers, ear infections, even after vaccines. It's long been considered safe.But compelling evidence shows it's not nearly as safe as we've been told—especially for babies and young children under stress.My guest is Dr. William Parker. He is distinguished, highly credentialed, and deeply passionate about protecting children. After earning his PhD in Chemistry, he spent nearly 30 years at Duke University studying biochemistry, microbiology, and immunology. He's best known for discovering the function of the human appendix—a safe-house for bacteria—and for the last decade, he's focused on how acetaminophen, when combined with oxidative stress, impacts brain development. He's published more than 150 peer-reviewed papers, and his work points to this drug playing a major role in the rise of autism.This is a conversation parents need to hear. Dr. Parker is substantive, credible, and unwavering in his pursuit of the truth. It's not about fear—it's about clarity and better choices.The secret this week is…AVOID THIS Popular Drug To Protect DevelopmentYou'll Discover:The Hidden Link First Exposed in 2008 (4:51)How Acetaminophen + Oxidative Stress = Trouble For Susceptible Kids (15:29)The Timeline That Matches The Rise of Autism (23:26)The Flawed Assumptions in Many Scientific Studies (26:50)Practical Next Steps Parents Can Take (45:53)The Actual MECHANISM That Harms Brain Cells (51:07)About Our Guest:William Parker earned a PhD in Chemistry in 1992 and studied biochemistry, microbiology, and immunology at Duke University for almost 30 years before starting WPLab, a private, non-profit research and education corporation, in 2021. Best known for the discovery of the function of the human appendix (a safe-house for bacteria), Dr. Parker has spent almost a decade studying the impact of acetaminophen combined with oxidative stress on neurodevelopment. He has published more than 150 peer-reviewed papers, including work in PLoS One, the European Journal of Pediatrics, Minerva Pediatrics, and Clinical and Experimental Pediatrics. WPLab scientists have concluded that many, if not most, cases of autism are a chemically induced injury caused by exposure of susceptible babies and children to acetaminophen.References In This Episode:Learn more about Dr. Parker's work: PreventAutism.org and www.wplaboratory.orgAdditional Resources:To learn more about personalized 1:1 support, go to www.elevatehowyounavigate.comTake The Quiz: What's YOUR Top Autism Parenting Blindspot?If you enjoyed this episode, share it with your friends.

"The chemistry between Travis and Patrick is ridiculous, with one look, they just know what the other is thinking." Xavier Worthy on learning from his teammates Ahead of YouTube streaming its first NFL game live from Brazil between the Chargers and Chiefs, Ryan Clark sits down with Xavier Worthy to go inside the mind of this playmaker and what's ahead for the Kansas City Chiefs. This episode offers a glimpse into the mind of a young star determined not just to bounce back and continue to build — but to rise to the level he knows he is destined to play at. As the Chiefs prepare to face the Chargers in a pivotal AFC West matchup to start the season, Xavier Worthy sits down with Ryan Clark for a raw and revealing conversation about life after a break out Rookie year, the Super Bowl loss, his bond with his mother, overcoming personal distractions and stepping into the spotlight as the Chiefs top wideout wit Rashee Rice out for the first 6 weeks of the NFL season. As a first round draft pick in 2024 and making headlines by breaking the NFL Combine record for the 40-yard dash, clocking in at 4.21 seconds, even catching the attention of pop star Taylor Swift's excitement that her fiance's team added him to the offense, Xavier welcomes the pressure and responsibility that come with being a true No. 1 receiver in the NFL . From building chemistry with Patrick Mahomes and learning from Travis Kelce, Worthy is prepared to show the NFL world, he isn't just a fast wide out, he's an elite one and can match up vs the top defenses week in and week out. Worthy shares how his team was on an all new level during training camp this summer as they went back to the basics to rebuild their championship ways. He reflects on what he's learned from former mentor Travis Kelce, the standard of greatness set by Patrick Mahomes, and how those experiences shaped his own approach to leadership and preparation. Worthy doesn't shy away from the personal, speaking candidly about the internal battles he's fought off the field — and how confronting those struggles has made him stronger, more focused, and more dangerous between the lines. With all eyes on Kansas City as the season kicks off, the Chiefs are more focused than ever with one goal in mind, to finish the job they started last year, winning another Lombardi Trophy. This is a conversation about pressure, presence, and proving you belong at the highest level. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend and fellow coach, Jonathan Aslay. Jonathan is one of America's leading midlife self-love coaches, and together we dive into what it really takes to create lasting love in today's world. From navigating power dynamics in relationships to building trust, and from self-awareness to the surprising truth about chemistry, this conversation is packed with wisdom for anyone ready to step into a healthier, more fulfilling partnership.     Main Takeaways Jonathan emphasizes the importance of being present in relationships. Self-awareness is crucial for building trust and intimacy. Curiosity in conversations can lead to deeper connections. Women should not feel the need to downplay their success in relationships. Building a friendship first can lead to stronger romantic connections. Vulnerability is key to establishing trust in relationships. It's important to communicate openly about uncomfortable topics like money. People often sabotage their love lives due to unresolved past issues. Dating should be approached as a meeting rather than a performance. Age should not be a barrier to finding love.     3 Main Topics 1. Power Dynamics in Relationships (03:33) "When two equal people show up, you can have more co-creative conversations." Explanation: Healthy relationships thrive when both people bring their full selves—financially, emotionally, and energetically—to the table. Avoiding silence around uncomfortable topics like money and expectations allows couples to build partnerships rooted in equality and collaboration.     2. Trust and Speaking Your Truth (09:39) "Speak your truth, just do it from a kind place. If you do it sincerely, you can't say the wrong thing to the right person." Explanation: Trust goes beyond fidelity; it's about knowing the other person has your best interests at heart. Speaking openly and vulnerably—without fear of rejection—creates the safety needed for intimacy and long-term stability.     3. Chemistry and the Friend Zone (22:38) "I realized later why we didn't have that chemistry at first… I had no idea what a secure meeting felt like." Explanation: Many confuse anxiety and butterflies with love, overlooking the steadiness of a secure connection. True intimacy grows from friendship, presence, and appreciation—often blooming where instant “sparks” seem absent. Reframing how chemistry develops can open the door to real, lasting connection.

The Grinner. Medusa. The Sheriff.No, these aren't winners of a Halloween costume contest — they're archetypes in Mita Mallick's latest book, The Devil Emails at Midnight: What Good Leaders Can Learn from Bad Bosses.The Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestseller author Mita Mallick joins the newest episode of Campaign Chemistry to discuss what all of us can learn from bad bosses. She emphasizes that communication isn't just about emails and meetings; it's about fostering a culture in which people truly feel seen. In today's climate of layoffs, dwindling retention and rising attrition, we tackle issues such as accountability, the risks of toxic positivity and the reason empathy may be advertising's most underrated leadership skill.From managing up and journaling for self-reflection, to acknowledging grief and personal challenges at work, Mallick's new book offers a road map for leaders seeking to improve — and for employees navigating difficult dynamics.The sound bite"It's not easy being a boss.”The takeawaysIt is critical to treat employees as valued consumers.Bad bosses are made, not born.Effective communication is crucial for good leadership and team dynamics.Leaders should regularly check in with their teams to foster a supportive environment.Journaling can help leaders reflect on their behaviors and improve over time.Asking for coaching and feedback from team members can enhance leadership effectiveness.Managing up is essential for employees to navigate difficult boss relationships.Empathy for bosses can grow from understanding their challenges and pressures.Toxic positivity can undermine team morale and lead to burnout.Leaders should acknowledge personal struggles and the impact these struggles can have on work relationships.

In Tales of Militant Chemistry (U of California Press, 2025), Alice Lovejoy tells the untold story of film as a chemical cousin to poison gas and nuclear weapons, shaped by centuries of violent extraction. The history of film calls to mind unforgettable photographs, famous directors, and the glitz and hustle of the media business. But there is another tale to tell that connects film as a material to the twentieth century's history of war, destruction, and cruelty. This story comes into focus during World War II at the factories of Tennessee Eastman, where photographic giant Kodak produced the rudiments of movie magic. Not far away, at Oak Ridge, Kodak was also enriching uranium for the Manhattan Project--uranium mined in the Belgian Congo and destined for the bomb that fell on Hiroshima. While the world's largest film manufacturer transformed into a formidable military contractor, across the ocean its competitor Agfa grew entangled with Nazi Germany's machinery of war. After 1945, Kodak's film factories stood at the front lines of a new, colder war, as their photosensitive products became harbingers of the dangers of nuclear fallout. Following scientists, soldiers, prisoners, and spies through Kodak's and Agfa's global empires, Lovejoy links the golden age of cinema and photography to colonialism, the military-industrial complex, radioactive dust, and toxic waste. Revelatory and chilling, Tales of Militant Chemistry shows how film became a weapon whose chemistry irrevocably shaped the world we live in today. Learn more about your ad choices.

In today's episode of Barbell Shrugged Dan Garner dives into how you can start to analyze your yearly bloodwork for performance. Standard blood tests can be ordered around the globe, in every country, and are the gold standard for understanding basic health. The normal reference ranges, however, are not giving you the answers you are looking for when it come to optimizing your health and performance. In this episode you will learn: What's the mindset/philosophy of looking at bloodwork for performance if it's classically a health screen? Generally speaking, energy is what every performer needs regardless of their pursuit. How can one look at bloodwork to improve their energy levels? Electrolytes come on every panel, can these be used to look at hydration and performance? You've talked a bunch about the immune system in past podcasts so I'm wondering what a basic blood panel can tell us about the current state of our immunity? What general recommendations do you have in terms of preparation so when someone gets their blood draw they can ensure it's accurate?   To learn more, please visit rapidhealthoptimization.com to see Dr. Andy Galpin and Dan Garner do a free lab, lifestyle, and performance analysis.

Sigi (Yes, like the yogurt...) is a bicoastal and bilingual Swiss-Israeli-American triple citizen. (Did you follow?) You almost saw her on Unprisoned, This Is Us, Henry Danger, and Jessie, but those roles ended up on the cutting room floor. You can, however, still catch her on Call Your Mother, Girl Meets World, The Middle, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and the hit Apple+ series Lessons in Chemistry. Sigi has created lots of digital content and won Best Actress for her film Optimistic Realist at the Portland Comedy Film Festival for playing an aspiring actress slash Hebrew school teacher. It was a real stretch. Sigi is a member of Theatre of NOTE and has performed on stages all over LA. Favorite critically-acclaimed productions include The Diary of Anne Frank (Best Leading Actress), Bad Jews, The Immigrant, and Askance (Outstanding Understudy in a Drama). Aside from making people laugh, Sigi can often be seen carrying seven beverages at once and an overpriced diaper bag that conveniently has no beverage holders.On this episode of Mommywood, Sigi shares her experience navigating the complexities of motherhood, from the transition of having one child to two, to the challenges of balancing personal identity with parenting. We discuss the emotional and physical aspects of pregnancy, the dynamics between siblings, and the societal pressures surrounding maternal instinct. The conversation also touches on the realities of being a working mom in the creative industry, the importance of support systems, and the joy found in small moments with children. Ultimately, we emphasize the value of connection, creativity, and the unique journey of motherhood.00:00 The Journey of Motherhood Begins02:49 Navigating the Transition from One to Two05:53 Sibling Dynamics and Playtime08:51 Pregnancy Experiences: The Same Yet Different11:26 The Myth of Maternal Instinct14:28 Balancing Identity: Mom, Actor, and Comedian17:15 The Decision to Start a Family20:10 The Reality of Working Moms22:59 The Challenges of Returning to Work26:01 Finding Joy in the Chaos29:02 The Role of Support Systems31:53 The Impact of Pets on Family Life34:35 Creative Pursuits Amidst Motherhood37:18 Advice for Aspiring Actor Moms40:29 Finding Balance and Fulfillment43:16 The Importance of Connection and Joy
