Mark Kingsley is the author of Universal Principles of Branding and the forthcoming Brands in the Age of AI. A Grammy-nominated designer turned brand strategist, he's led work for Citi, Equinox, and Blue Note Records. Mark joined me on this week's On Brand to talk about branding's future—and how AI is changing the game. Mark Kingsley began his career designing album packages for legends like John Coltrane, Pat Metheny, and Quincy Jones—work that earned him a Grammy nomination in 2001 for Blue Note Records—before transitioning into corporate branding, where he led major initiatives at Landor and Collins for clients such as Citi, Ogilvy, and Equinox. Through his studio, Malcontent, he serves a diverse mix of clients from indie filmmakers to Pulitzer Prize winners. Mark teaches in the SVA Masters in Branding program, previously held the Melbert B. Cary Professorship at the Rochester Institute of Technology, and is currently Head of Brand for the fashion label Oumlil. His book Universal Principles of Branding became a bestseller in 2023, and his next, Brands in the Age of AI, is due out in December. What brand has made Mark smile recently? Mark shared decades-old smiles from the record label ECM, a company whose recordings provide a classic example of creating space through design and sound.

[WAITLIST] 1:1 Points Travel Strategy Session - get on the waitlist here!Travel Freely App - How we keep track of all our cards! And make sure to follow us on Instagram! @travelpartyof5 Contrary to popular belief, opening multiple credit cards doesn't automatically tank your credit score. I'm living proof – with eight new cards in just six months and an "excellent" credit score of 808 to show for it.The credit card journey has been quite the ride. Growing up with warnings about the dangers of plastic and experiencing credit card debt twice in my younger years made me initially hesitant. Fast forward to today, and I've completely transformed my relationship with credit cards, using them strategically to fund incredible family adventures through points and miles.My husband and I break down the eight cards I've opened since January – spanning Chase, American Express, and Citi – and reveal how diversifying across different banks has been crucial to approval success. We share the surprising factors affecting credit scores (like why my husband's 763 score gets fewer approvals than my 808) and how credit history length significantly outweighs the impact of new accounts.The most pressing challenge we're facing? Meeting a massive $20,000 minimum spend requirement on the Amex Business Platinum. We discuss our strategy, including prepaying bills, planned expenses, and the somewhat controversial world of buying groups. And no, despite my husband's suggestions, we won't be purchasing jet skis to meet the requirement!These strategic credit card moves have yielded nearly 700,000 points across various programs, funding upcoming adventures to Thailand, Japan, Yosemite, and European Christmas markets. We also tackle the counterintuitive decision to sometimes pay cash for flights rather than using points when the value proposition doesn't make sense.Want to learn how to leverage points and miles for your own family travel? Join my waitlist for personalized one-on-one consulting sessions where I'll help you maximize your redemptions and plan your dream trips.**Some of the links on this page are affiliate links, which means I may earn a commission—at no extra cost to you—if you use them.

They highlight a popular Facebook post comparing Andaz Maui and HR Maui, with opinions divided based on points cost and who's traveling with you. News-wise, they cover Hawaiian Airlines parting ways with Amex, a Citi to Wyndham 25% transfer bonus, Flying Blue dropping Delta award prices for 2026, and Aeroplan offering a 90% bonus on purchased points. Angie shared she's cutting back on card applications after a denial, while Mike celebrated scoring a 100k Chase Sapphire Preferred bonus.The main topic focused on the Chicago meetup, where despite weather and travel delays, most attendees made it thanks to their seasoned travel skills. Angie and Mike flew on AA (via Alaska for Mike), and stayed at the Hyatt Regency Chicago, using points and benefits like GOH awards and club access. Formal events included a Friday rooftop reception, Saturday learning sessions from travel experts, and a custom improv comedy show Saturday night. Unofficially, attendees self-organized through a Messenger chat for cruises, walking tours, karaoke, and hotel lobby meetups.

How can leaders turn perceived limitations into strengths?   On Women of Color Rise, I speak with Alia Abbas, Chief of Staff at New Jersey Higher Education Student Assistance Authority. With a career spanning Estee Lauder, Warner Bros. Discovery, Prudential, and Citi, Alia has led in strategy, operations, and innovation—proving that disability and faith are not barriers but strengths.   Alia didn't realize she was blind until she was diagnosed in college, thanks to parents who instilled confidence and adaptability. She also made a pivotal choice in her career—to wear a hijab, deepening her connection to her Muslim faith. Though both blindness and belief come with stereotypes, Alia sees them as value-adds in leadership and teams.   Her insights: We are capable – People with disabilities develop adaptability, resilience, and unique problem-solving skills. Diversity strengthens teams – Multi-generational, multi-background, and multi-ability teams drive stronger ideas and outcomes. No ceilings on possibility – Instead of limiting others, empower them to pursue their goals.   Alia's journey is a powerful reminder: Own your identity, use your voice, and lead with confidence.   Thank you, Alia, for sharing your inspiring stories!   Get full show notes and more information here: https://analizawolf.com/episode-102-strength-in-blindness-and-faith-with-alia-abbas

What separates the top 1% of venture capitalists from the rest? For Roger Ehrenberg, Managing Partner at Eberg Capital, it's the ability — and the appetite — to invest before the crowd, before the product is built, and before there's even proof of concept. In a recent episode of the Skin in the Game VC podcast, Roger joined Tom Wallace and Saxon Baum to share how he turned a late-career pivot into one of the most impressive track records in early-stage venture capital.Roger didn't come from the startup world. He spent nearly two decades on Wall Street, running billion-dollar trading desks at Citi and Deutsche Bank. From the outside, it looked like a career anyone would want — but for Roger, it had run its course. Tired of internal politics and craving something more entrepreneurial, he walked away. Around the same time, he'd been dabbling in angel investing on the side. That small experiment — backing builders before product-market fit — quickly turned into a full-time obsession.He began writing a blog, Information Arbitrage, to share his thinking publicly. The blog gained traction. Founders started reaching out. Other investors began to follow his thesis. At a time when the idea of a “New York tech ecosystem” was almost laughable, Roger had the clarity to see where it could go — and the conviction to act. By early 2010, he scraped together a $17 million first close. That first fund would eventually land at $50 million, and IA Ventures was born.But the money was only part of the story. What set Roger apart then — and still does — is how early he's willing to go. He prefers backing companies before the market even knows they exist. In fact, he often writes the first check before there's a line of code written. This isn't blind optimism. It's founder-first investing grounded in deep research and sharp intuition.Roger's track record speaks for itself. He was an early backer of The Trade Desk when it was just a deck. He seeded Datadog, TubeMogul, and multiple other companies before they became category leaders. The common thread? Founders who could not only see the future but build their way into it. To Roger, great founders share something intangible: what he calls “aesthetic and empathy.”“Great founders understand where their product stops and where the customer starts,” he said. That could mean designing APIs that developers love or building consumer apps that feel inevitable. Either way, the best founders have an intuitive sense of product, user behavior, and market timing. Roger knows how to find them — or maybe, they know how to find him. That's the power of publishing, he says. His blog didn't just clarify his thesis — it attracted the right people. It helped him raise a fund when few believed in early-stage investing outside Silicon Valley.Since then, IA Ventures has grown to four funds and backed dozens of successful startups. Roger has since passed the torch to his partners and launched his next chapter: Eberg Capital. Now, he invests alongside his sons in a new wave of innovation — spanning sports, media, entertainment, and the evolving world of fandom.But whether he's backing a Marlins ownership stake, investing in Formula 1, or writing angel checks to creator economy startups, one thing hasn't changed: Roger Ehrenberg still goes early. He still backs founders before the world sees their potential. And more often than not, he's right.Listen to the full episode with Roger Ehrenberg now. Hosted on Acast.

Citi Says Miners Are 'Once In A 40 Year Gift' Whose Time Has Come Gold and silver prices are selling off this morning after yesterday's latest rally. But with the gold price still at historic levels, Citi just put out a report talking about how the miners have become a 'once in a 40 year gift' whose time has come.

This week's episode is a little different—and a lot of fun. Jess, Pam, and Alex are joined by Traci for a special game of Would You Rather!? – Points Talk Edition. Traci challenges the squad with a lineup of delightfully diabolical travel questions designed to reveal where they really stand when it comes to their points and airline preferences, personal travel quirks, and loyalty trade-offs. From Business Class Woes to Economy Wins The episode kicks off with a tough one: would you rather have a lie-flat seat in business class next to an annoying stranger, or an entire economy row to yourself? At least one of the squad's answers will probably surprise you! Individual Perks vs. Points Value: Globalist or the Award Chart? Next, Traci challenges the group with Hyatt's ultimate tradeoff: would you rather have lifetime Globalist status or a guaranteed fixed award chart for 20 years? Is there dissent or do Alex, Jess, and Pam all come down on the same side on this one? Real-Life Dilemmas and Points Preferences From there, the questions get personal: Learn about Alex's secret grocery-store card confession. Would Jess rather stay at a Park Hyatt in a city she doesn't like (Venice) or a Holiday Inn Express in a city she loves (Tokyo)?  Would Alex rather have her beloved Southwest® Companion Pass or 600,000 Hyatt points?  Would Pam choose only domestic luxury travel or international budget travel if she could only choose one?  Tough Transfers & Redemption Realities The squad also weighs in on (and disagrees about) transferring highly valued points with or without bonuses. Nice Problems to Have They also daydream about future loyalty-program changes they'd love to see, like new Citi cards, United partnering with a second bank, and Capital One adding Alaska as a partner. (A girl can dream!)   The Great Collectibles Debate: Ducks or Houses? The episode ends on a light note, with the squad picking which flight souvenirs they'd rather have (rubber ducks or Delft houses) and which ones they'd be more likely to try to get permission to pinch.  This episode is full of laughs, strong opinions, and lots of travel daydreaming. Hit play now and see which “would you rather” choices you agree with—and which ones you totally wouldn't!

China is likely to announce additional stimulus policies, including extra fiscal support, targeted monetary easing and stronger consumption-boosting initiatives, to put its economic growth on a more solid footing, as the country's top leadership usually convenes a high-level meeting centered on economic issues around the end of April, analysts said.分析人士表示，中国有望宣布更多刺激政策，包括增加财政支持、定向货币宽松以及更有力的促消费举措，以进一步夯实经济增长基础。中国最高领导层通常会在4月底左右召开一次以经济问题为中心的高层会议。The tone-setting meeting would be an important occasion for China's policymakers to reassess the fast-paced developments in the trade war initiated by Washington against Beijing over the past month, and to formulate offsetting policies in response, they added.他们补充道，此次定调会议将成为中国政策制定者重新评估过去一个月华盛顿对北京发起的贸易战快速发展态势，并制定相应政策的重要契机。"While the 5.4 percent GDP growth rate in the first quarter is a good start, key indicators like the consumer price index and producer price index suggest that weakness in domestic demand still persists," said Xiong Yuan, chief economist at Guosheng Securities.国盛证券首席经济学家熊园表示：“虽然第一季度GDP增长率达到5.4%是一个良好的开端，但消费者价格指数和生产者价格指数等关键指标表明，国内需求仍然疲软。”The impact of the tariffs by the United States, which is expected to materialize more visibly in the second quarter, further underscores the urgency for policymakers to ramp up supportive efforts, Xiong said.熊园表示，预计美国加征关税的影响将在第二季度更加明显，这进一步凸显了政策制定者加大支持力度的紧迫性。China's top leadership has suggested on various occasions that the country has ample capability to roll out new policy measures as needed, to address the rising uncertainties in the external environment.中国高层领导已多次表示，中国有足够的能力根据需要推出新的政策措施，以应对外部环境中日益增加的不确定性。Premier Li Qiang said on April 17 during a study session held by the State Council—the country's Cabinet—that at critical moments, the government must act swiftly to deploy policy tools across various fronts in order to generate positive market expectations.4月17日，李强总理在国务院举行的一次学习会议上表示，在关键时刻，政府必须迅速行动，综合运用各种政策工具，以创造积极的市场预期。Analysts expect that the end-April meeting is poised to introduce significant fiscal stimulus measures, potentially exceeding 1 trillion yuan ($137 billion) in scale.分析人士预计，4月底的会议将推出重大财政刺激措施，规模可能超过1万亿元人民币（1370亿美元）。"We expect incremental funds of 1.5 trillion yuan, or 1 percent of GDP, on top of the budget approved earlier this year. End-demand, especially consumption, should be more a focus than investment this time, given the nature of the tariff shock," Citi analysts said in a report on Monday.花旗分析师周一在一份报告中表示：“我们预计，在年初批准的预算基础上，新增资金将达到1.5万亿元人民币，占GDP的1%。鉴于关税冲击的性质，此次应该更多地关注终端需求，尤其是消费，而非投资。”China Galaxy Securities also said on Sunday in a report that the size of the new fiscal stimulus measures could be around 1.5 to 2 trillion yuan, with a particular emphasis on further strengthening policies to stimulate consumption.中国银河证券周日也在一份报告中表示，新的财政刺激措施规模可能在1.5万亿至2万亿元人民币左右，尤其强调进一步加强刺激消费的政策。In particular, with the goal of better offsetting the slowdown in external demand, the overall fiscal budget for consumption-boosting measures this year might be increased from the initially planned 300 billion yuan to a range of 700 billion yuan to 1 trillion yuan, said Feng Lin, executive director of the research and development department at Golden Credit Rating International.东方金诚国际信用评估有限公司研究发展部执行总监冯琳表示，为了更好地抵消外部需求放缓的影响，今年用于刺激消费措施的财政总预算可能会从最初计划的3000亿元人民币增加到7000亿至1万亿元人民币。China's annual exports to the US have been around $500 billion in recent years, which is equivalent to 7-8 percent of the China's domestic consumer goods consumption, according to Feng.冯琳表示，近年来，中国对美年出口额约为5000亿美元，相当于中国国内消费品消费的7%至8%。"This means that as long as domestic consumption is effectively stimulated, China is capable of absorbing the decline in exports to the US. Before the pandemic, the normal growth rate of the country's total retail sales of consumer goods was between 8 and 9 percent," Feng said.“这意味着，只要有效刺激国内消费，中国就有能力消化对美出口的下滑。疫情爆发前，中国社会消费品零售总额的正常增长率在8%到9%之间，”冯琳表示。Notably, any major fiscal policy in China requires going through legislative procedures. The Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, which has the power to approve budget adjustments, is scheduled to meet in Beijing from Sunday to Wednesday.值得注意的是，中国任何重大财政政策都需要经过立法程序。拥有预算调整审批权的全国人大常委会计划于本周日到周三在北京召开会议。"If any fiscal resolution indicated by the upcoming meeting is approved by the NPC Standing Committee, it would buttress Beijing's determination to achieve growth despite the trade hardships," Citi said.花旗银行表示：“如果即将召开的全国人大常委会会议中提出的任何财政决议获得批准，这将坚定中国政府在贸易摩擦中实现增长的决心。”Even if the upcoming meeting and the NPC Standing Committee session greenlight new fiscal stimulus measures, analysts said the details and timeline of the rollouts would be determined in a flexible manner, depending on the evolving economic dynamics.分析人士表示，即使即将召开的全国人大常委会会议和全国人大常委会会议批准新的财政刺激措施，这些措施的具体细节和时间表也将根据不断变化的经济形势灵活确定。For the previously announced government bonds in March, the country is expected to accelerate their issuance in the second quarter, and expedite the utilization of these funds to support concrete projects, said Zhang Jun, chief economist at China Galaxy Securities.中国银河证券首席经济学家章俊表示，对于此前宣布的3月份国债发行，预计国家将在第二季度加快发行，并加快资金用于支持具体项目。The anticipated introduction of the extra fiscal stimulus measures and accelerated implementation of the existing ones would "create a window of opportunity" for a corresponding level of liquidity support from the monetary policy side, Zhang said.章俊表示，预期中的额外财政刺激措施将出台，现有措施也将加快落实，这将为货币政策层面提供相应流动性支持“创造机会窗口”。China's central bank is expected to employ a combination of both quantitative and structural policy tools, with a reserve requirement ratio cut of around 20 basis points likely to be implemented on the heels of the end-April meeting, followed by a potential interest rate reduction around June. The government is also expected to introduce a range of structural monetary policies aimed at providing targeted relief to the foreign trade sector, as well as bolstering consumer demand and technological innovation, Zhang added.预计中国央行将结合运用数量型和结构性政策工具，在4月底会议后可能实施约20个基点的降准，随后可能在6月左右再度降息。章俊补充道，预计政府还将推出一系列结构性货币政策，旨在为外贸行业提供定向纾困，并提振消费需求和技术创新。Citi said in its report that, "Finding patience to play the long game, the end-April meeting will stick to the policy framework of 'high-quality development' and will not take an all-out approach."花旗在其报告中表示：“4月底的会议将秉持耐心，着眼长远，坚持‘高质量发展'的政策框架，不会采取全面举措。”stimulus/ˈstɪmjələs/n.刺激（措施）；促进因素reassess/ˌriːəˈses/v.重新评估；重新考虑buttress/ˈbʌtrəs/v.支持；加强liquidity/lɪˈkwɪdəti/n.流动性；资产变现能力

The Put it in the Books Show S8 E3: Citi's Rockin', Mets Are Rollin', and April Slumps Are Long Gone It's time for another episode of The Put it in the Books Show, and for once, we're not opening with doom, gloom, or one of Keith's spreadsheets ranking sacrifice bunts by exit velocity. The Mets are 18-7, 12-1 at home, and—for now—hold the best record in baseball. Yes, the best. We verified it three times because even Farace didn't believe it, and he's had the Mets winning the World Series in his head since January. Since our last show, the Mets have ripped off seven straight wins, sweeping both the Cardinals and the Phillies at Citi Field. Francisco Lindor appears to have finally left his annual April slump in the rearview, which is great news—especially for Keith, who tried to DFA Lindor's glove on-air two weeks ago. The offense is waking up, the pitching has stayed lights out, and somehow, the vibes are as high as Rodriguez's blood pressure during a mound visit. McNeil and Alvarez are about to return, and the roster is about to get a little tighter. The guys will discuss how the Mets manage all this depth and speculate on who might be catching the express train to Syracuse—not everyone can stay when reinforcements arrive, even if they just learned everyone's name in the clubhouse. Also on the docket: Citi Field is rocking, with 36,000 strong showing up on a Wednesday afternoon. Either Mets fans are all-in, or half of Queens was just “working from home” that day. We'll preview the four-game wraparound series against the Nationals, followed by a return home to face the Diamondbacks. Join us for a show packed with positivity, pitching dominance, dry humor, and just enough overthinking to remind you this is a Mets show. It's Season 8, Episode 3. Let's put it in the books!

Pierre Buhler says Citigroup (C) did "much better than I expected" in its earnings. However, he shares caution with Citi's and Bank of America's (BAC) CEOs expressing more optimism on the economy's outlook compared to JPMorgan Chase (JPM) CEO Jamie Dimon. Jed Ellerbroek agrees that headwinds are coming but adds that any modest growth seen in bank earnings for now should be considered a win.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Citi lowered its price target on Nvidia (NVDA) to $150 from $163 and trimmed GPUs estimates as hyperscalers cut back A.I. CapEx spending. Jeff Pierce believes the price target cut won't leave a scratch on the A.I. giant's trajectory. 90% of analysts still have a buy rating on Nvidia, though Jeff Pierce urges investors to keep DeepSeek in mind as the Chinese A.I. model can generate headwinds. Dan Deming offers an example options trade for Nvidia.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Terms below) https://affiliates.meliopayments.com/travelonpointsteam Episode Description This week we learned of some expected changes coming to the American Express Business Platinum card. With the addition of Hilton credits last year, we have now seen a downgrade to other popular benefits including the Dell credit. Is it worth getting and keeping after all of this?   In other news Chase has released an increased value offer for some cardholders using Chase Travel.

Katie Curry doesn't follow a path—she redraws the map. In this first of a two-part conversation, we explore her journey from communist Bulgaria to the heart of Wall Street, from technical risk roles to creative leadership. Katie shares how she builds mental toughness, adapts across industries, and leads Gen Z with humor and humility. Through it all, she reminds us that reinvention isn't something you do once—it's a muscle you build. For Gen Xers who know how to change ambitiously, this is reinvention with purpose, not panic.>>From Bulgaria to the Big Apple“On that bus in Manhattan, I said—I want to work here one day.”Katie's first reinvention wasn't a job—it was a total life shift. Growing up in a small town under communism, she shares how dreaming big and thinking globally reshaped her trajectory.>>Credit, Creativity, and Everything in Between“I've led analysts, operators, and creatives. You can't lead them the same way.”Katie breaks down how she adapted her leadership style across radically different teams—from rating derivatives to managing editors—and what each one taught her about people and power.>>Risk Isn't a Concept—It's a Practice“Some of my biggest breakthroughs came from the biggest pivots.”With a career built around risk—from Citi to S&P to insurance tech—Katie reveals how she balances data and gut instinct, logic and psychology, and why you should never expect certainty before you leap.>>Fail Fast, Learn Hard“If you've never failed, you're playing too safe.”Katie redefines success through her personal KPIs: energy, impact, relationships, and learning. And she makes a strong case for post-traumatic growth—yes, even at work.>>Leadership with Presence and Punch“During COVID, my kids watched me lead from our kitchen table. That was my real resume.”Whether she's coaching a Gen Z team or raising one at home, Katie leads with clarity, care, and curiosity—and she's not afraid to be both the strategist and the student._________________________Connect with us:Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Katie Curry  --Chief Change Officer--Change Ambitiously.

A few years ago American Express introduced this kind of model for their Platinum card where they increased their annual fee, but attempted to make up for it by offering a whole collection of credits and rebates that could be valuable if you did the work to make use of them and happened to have natural needs for them. In other words, these new benefits felt a lot like coupons, thus introducing the nickname for these kinds of card benefits. Now, United seems to be taking a page from American Express' book by "couponizing" their credit cards.
