Get the full show notes and bonus material at wickedproblems.earth! How do things get names? Who decides? What happens if they're contested? Does it matter?A brand, a label, a name, the words applied to people, places, or things change how an audience feels, and influences outcomes.“Call me Ishmael”, “deadnaming”, or try using the wrong place-name depending on what bank of the River Foyle in Northern Ireland you find yourself, and see how that goes. On the other hand, if your company so dominates your category that your brand becomes a verb, like Hoover. But in the internet age the process happens much faster — see Google, Uber, Tinder.As for people and companies, a tricker object is a whole category. Successfully dominating a category - even if you have to invent one - is, according to Silicon Valley investors like Peter “Competition is for Losers” Thiel, the only type of strategy worth pursuing. And often that will involve getting the name of the category right - some magical combination of things already in the zeitgeist, something that chimes with the audience/customer/media without them consciously knowing why.The idea of whether businesses are in a category called “cleantech” or “climate tech” or “defence tech” or “fintech” does matter, I'd argue.So I asked Art Lapinsch, a startup founder with a successful exit turned climate communications guru and energy lawyer. Now writing a lot of smart stuff on the subject in his new consultancy Delphi Zero, I wanted to return to the “is ‘climate tech' dead?” debate.But Lapinsch's bio itself would be enough to want to hear him - going from fleeing civil war in the former Yugoslavia to adtech startup founder to turning to climate solutions ventures and how they should tell their stories. You're going to enjoy getting to know him. I certainly did. And he was a good sport when dog-related imminent disaster required putting him on hold for a minute. Don't worry.

Imagine this: you've finally finished building your product after countless late nights. The code works, the demo is ready, and your first prospect is waiting. Your heart races because you know one thing for sure: if this person says no, nothing else matters. On this episode of the Grow Your B2B SaaS Podcast, host Joran Hofman chats with Zoltan Vardy, founder of The Launch Code, about why this exact moment is so important. As a founder, you're not just pitching a product—you are the product's voice, its story, and its proof. Customers don't care about fancy features or your funding round. They care about solving their pain. And when that pain is real, they need someone who truly understands it—you.

In this episode, Tina Tower dives into the pros and cons of evergreen vs. live launched courses for online business owners. She shares her personal experience, industry benchmarks, and tips for choosing the best strategy for your course business—along with ideas for hybrid approaches that blend the best of both worlds. Key Topics Covered: What is Evergreen vs. Live Launch? Evergreen programs are always available and rely on automated marketing, with the goal of creating consistent, scalable revenue. Live launches are time-bound events with open/close cart periods, featuring high-energy events like webinars or challenges that drive urgency. Pros & Cons of Live Launches Pros: Electric, high-energy atmosphere that boosts conversion. Easier to create urgency (FOMO) and momentum. Great for building community and getting real-time feedback. Higher conversion rates (e.g., 30% for webinars). Ideal for validating new offers. Cons: Time-consuming and emotionally intense. Peaks and valleys in revenue can make forecasting critical. Risk of burnout if launching too often. Requires constant creativity to keep launches fresh. Pros & Cons of Evergreen Pros: Potential for more freedom and consistent, scalable income. Better suited for those who prefer steady, predictable workflows. Excellent for content marketing, SEO, and paid ads. Great once offers are validated and funnels are optimized. Cons: Lower urgency and typically lower conversion rates (often 3–5%). Heavier upfront tech setup and ongoing optimization required. Can feel less connected to your audience without live interaction. Trickier to know exactly where conversions are stalling. Tips & Recommendations Start with live launches to validate offers and really get to know your audience. Move into evergreen after getting a proven program and well-optimized funnel. Consider a hybrid approach: run evergreen all year but add 1–2 live launches or live webinars annually to infuse energy and boost conversions. Know yourself: If you thrive on energy and creativity, live launching may suit you. If you want more consistent, mathematical growth, evergreen could be your path. Tina's Experience & Advice Tina personally prefers a combination—live launches for excitement, validation, and community; evergreen for ongoing sales and freedom. She highlights the importance of revenue forecasting, creative launches, and making sure your system fits your personality and business goals. Encourages early-stage entrepreneurs to embrace frequent live launches for faster growth and refinement. Common Mistakes to Avoid Relying purely on “build it and they will come” for evergreens—marketing is still 80% of the work. Going evergreen before your offer is validated with real students. You don't have to choose just one strategy—curate the combination of live launches and evergreen funnels that aligns with your goals, capacity, and personality for sustainable course business growth.   Where to find Tina: Her Empire Builder: https://www.herempirebuilder.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tina_tower/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@herempirebuilder   Resources Mentioned: Platforms for automating evergreen funnels (Deadline Funnel) Advertising channels: Google, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube

From visual psychology and printing strategies to layout, material choices, and pricing tactics, this conversation is packed with practical tips to help you treat your menu like what it truly is—your #1 marketing and sales tool. You'll walk away with insights on font choices, color psychology, menu engineering, printing vendors, and even why leaving drink prices off the menu can increase profits. If you've ever shrugged off menu updates as an expense, this episode will change your mindset—and maybe even your margins. Key Takeaways: Your Menu Is Not an Expense—It's an Investment It's the first thing guests engage with when deciding how much to spend. A thoughtful, clean, and well-printed menu elevates perception and drives higher check averages. Design & Readability Matter Font size, layout, paper quality, and cleanliness all shape the guest's impression. Use negative space, legible fonts, and layout strategies like the Golden Triangle to drive selection. Strategic Printing Choices Use a local printer when possible—consider bartering or partnerships. Evaluate in-house printing if you need frequent updates. Menu holders, sleeves, and material durability should match your concept. Proven Profit Tips Use high-quality food photos for best-sellers (especially on laminated or in-house menus). Leave beverage prices off for pricing flexibility. Add visual cues to highlight high-margin items. Common Mistakes to Avoid Dirty or outdated menus, inconsistent updates, typos, or cluttered layouts. Overloading with too many items, especially in smaller operations. Practical Tools & Tech Use AI (like ChatGPT) to help write compelling, accurate menu descriptions. Establish an SOP for menu changes across online platforms, third-party apps, and POS systems.

www.run4prs.com Segment 1: Understanding the Half MarathonFirst, let's talk about what a half marathon is. A half marathon is a race that covers 13.1 miles, which is roughly 21 kilometers. It's a great distance for those who want a challenge but aren't quite ready for the full 26.2 miles of a marathon.Training for this distance comes with numerous benefits – not just for your physical health but also for your mental well-being. Many find that the training process teaches discipline and can be a great way to set a personal challenge!Segment 2: Setting GoalsNext, let's discuss the importance of setting goals. It's crucial to have clear, achievable targets as you begin training. Maybe your goal is to simply finish your first half marathon, or perhaps you're looking to beat your previous time. Whatever your objective, make sure it's specific and realistic.Think about what motivates you and how you want to feel on race day!Segment 3: Training PlansNow, let's move on to training plans. There are many different plans available, so it's essential to find one that fits your current fitness level.A typical training plan often spans 10 to 16 weeks and includes: Long runs: These are key for building endurance. Speed workouts: Intervals or tempo runs can improve your pace. Cross-training: Activities like cycling or swimming can help with overall fitness without the impact on your joints. Rest days: Don't underestimate these! They help your body recover.For beginners, I recommend looking for plans from reputable sources like the Runkeeper app or Hal Higdon's website.Segment 4: Nutrition and HydrationTraining for a half marathon isn't just about running; nutrition plays a critical role too. Fueling your body properly can make a significant difference in your performance.Focus on a balanced diet rich in carbohydrates, proteins, and healthy fats. And don't forget hydration! Aim to drink water consistently throughout the day and especially before, during, and after your long runs.Segment 5: The Importance of Rest and RecoverySpeaking of recovery, it's crucial to understand the importance of rest days. Your muscles need time to heal and grow stronger after those intense training sessions. Incorporate active recovery like gentle yoga or light walking to keep your body moving without added strain.Listen to your body. If you're feeling overly fatigued or notice persistent aches, take a break or modify your schedule.Segment 6: Race Day PreparationAs race day approaches, preparation is key. In the days leading up to the race, focus on getting adequate sleep and sticking to familiar foods. On the morning of the race, have a light breakfast and ensure you've planned your route to the race location to avoid any last-minute stress.Before you start, take a moment to visualize crossing the finish line and achieving your goal!Segment 7: Common Mistakes to AvoidFinally, let's cover some common mistakes to avoid. One major pitfall is overtraining, which can lead to injuries. Make sure to listen to your body and don't push through pain or excessive fatigue.Also, pay attention to nutrition and hydration; neglecting these can impact your performance on the big day. Lastly, don't skip rest days! They're just as important as the training itself.
