THE (MAGAZINE) DOCTOR IS IN — Megan Schertler wants to help you make magazines. Yes, you … and you … and you too. But she also wants to ensure that once you make a magazine, you make another one. And then one after that. She wants to make sure that you know it's not easy to create a magazine or to run one or to publish a second one or to sustain a magazine or media brand or to run a business. Megan is big on print. She's one of those extremely rare people who's held down numerous magazine jobs while never working on the digital side of things. Yes, really. People like her exist. So she knows more than many her age that print is more engaging, produces more loyalty, and creates a deeper and more meaningful connection with the message on the page than any other medium. And so with her partners, Megan now helms In Real Life Media to help would-be magazine makers sure, but also some of the world's largest brands navigate the realities of the magazine world. Because while we all love print here, it's hard, it's expensive, and it is, quite frankly, a pain in the ass. But it also results in something glorious, and Megan travels the world speaking at conferences and to people like me to spread the word.. — This episode is made possible by our friends at Freeport Press.

Photovoltaik und Batteriespeicher bieten Hotel- und Gastronomiebetrieben die Chance, Energiekosten zu senken und den Eigenverbrauch zu steigern. Unabhängiger werden von steigenden Strompreisen: die Kombination aus PV-Anlage und Speicher macht es möglich. Entscheidend ist, die Anlagen genau auf den tatsächlichen Stromverbrauch abzustimmen, etwa bei Kühlung oder Warmwasserbereitung. Durch die Analyse von Verbrauchsprofilen lassen sich optimale Lösungen finden. So wird viel Eigenstrom genutzt, auch wenn die Sonne nicht scheint. In der Expertenrunde wurde am 17. November auf der Igeho 2025 diskutiert, worauf es bei Planung, Dimensionierung und Umsetzung ankommt. Teilnehmer: - David Galeuchet, Marketingleiter von Solarmarkt und Vorstandsmitglied von Swissolar - Hans-Ulrich Held, Präsident Biofarm Genossenschaft und Vorsitzender der Geschäftsleitung - Stephan Roller, Leiter Facility & Projekte bei Sunstar Hotels Management AG - Roman Barmettler, Geschäftsführer bei Brunni-Bahnen Engelberg AG - Moderation: Andrin Willi, Epicurean Consulting & Content Creation

*Das Gespräch wurde am 6.4.2026 aufgenommen Wie radikalisiert Social Media junge Menschen – insbesondere Männer? Wieso gewinnen maskulinistische Influencer und rechte Netzwerke immer mehr an Einfluss? Und was kann empathiebasierte Gegenrede tatsächlich bewirken? In dieser Folge Scheitern für Anfänger spreche ich mit Caspar Weimann, Schauspielprofessor, Theatermacher und Initiator des Projekts „Hacking the Manosphere“. Gemeinsam tauchen sie in die Dynamiken von TikTok, algorithmischen Filterblasen und radikaler Männlichkeitskultur ein. Caspar Weimann gibt spannende Einblicke in seine künstlerische Arbeit gegen Online-Hass und erklärt, warum Empathie als Antwort auf Hasskommentare überraschend effektiv sein kann. Außerdem geht es um Alternativen zur Aufmerksamkeitsökonomie, familiäre Erfahrungen und die Bedeutung von Hoffnung im Kampf gegen digitale Radikalisierung.

Mike Davis didn't set out to run a media company – he set out to help tell Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s story. Today, he's President of Dirty Mo Media, leading a company that's grown from a single podcast into a full network of shows, live events, and branded content across NASCAR, motorsports and new verticals outside of the racing world. In Part 1, Kelley Earnhardt Miller takes Mike back to the beginning: becoming Dale Jr.'s publicist during the Budweiser years, helping navigate the historic departure from DEI, and launching the original Dale Jr. Download with no business plan – just an instinct that NASCAR fans wanted more Dale Jr. content. That instinct turned into Dirty Mo Media. As the company grew beyond one show, Mike made the call to move from behind the mic as co-host of the Download to behind the scenes – becoming President and eventually an equity partner, focused on building the infrastructure, team, and strategy behind DMM's expansion. This is the story of how one NASCAR podcast became a media company, and the partnership that made it possible. Part 2 drops next week, where Mike and Kelley go deeper on what DMM looks like today and where it's headed next Check out Dirty Mo Media on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DirtyMoMedia Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

AI-driven content decisions increasingly prioritize efficiency over values. David Ebner, founder of Content Workshop, examines why brands cutting teams for "AI efficiency" undermine the very productivity gains they claim to pursue. The conversation covers developing a defensible brand point of view, distinguishing values-aligned decisions from purely cost-driven ones, and reframing AI as a multiplier that scales human capacity rather than replaces it.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

THE PRIME OF MR. NEVILLE BRODY — “Once you have broken down the rules, literally anything is possible.'” In the business of magazine design, few names resonate as profoundly as Neville Brody. And, to this day, he lives by those words.  Renowned for his groundbreaking work and commitment to pushing design boundaries at magazines like The Face, Arena, Per Lui, and others, Brody is a true auteur in the world of design. We talked to him at the launch of his spectacular new monograph, The Graphic Language of Neville Brody 3. Nurtured on 1970s British punk music, which rejected anything that appeared self-indulgent or overwrought, Brody found the perfect launch pad at The Face, the London-based music, fashion, and culture monthly, created by editor Nick Logan in 1980. The Face inspired an array of fellow magazine rule-breakers, including the late Tibor Kalman, David Carson, and Fabien Baron, who calls Brody's work “powerful, aggressive, and simple.” Since then, Brody's journey in graphic design has been marked by a relentless, almost unforgiving pursuit of innovation. His magazine design challenged conventional norms and redefined visual storytelling. Brody's design approach is characterized by a rejection of conventional grid systems and editorial hierarchies, and a willingness to break free from established design rules. And he thinks magazines today are missing a giant opportunity: “That's the beauty of print, that you can't achieve in the same way digitally. Digital is so commoditized. We're not expressing content anymore. We're just delivering it. Neville Brody's legacy in magazine design lies in his fearless approach to challenging the status quo and his ability to capture the zeitgeist of his time. By pushing the boundaries of traditional graphic design, he not only influenced the look and feel of magazines but also inspired a generation of designers to embrace innovation, experimentation, and a spirit of creative rebellion. Brody's work continues to be celebrated for its enduring impact on the evolution of graphic design and its role in shaping the visual language of contemporary media.

Mindmap-Realitätscheck: Was wir wirklich umgesetzt haben

Kasey Hagan grew up in England — and moving to America as a teenager with his father introduced him to a culture that was completely different from everything he had ever known. He got big into sports found his footing and decided he wanted to help people. He started as an animal control officer in his late teens responding to calls that most people never imagine exist. Then he discovered his first dead body on the job. Eventually Kasey became a Florida cop. For three years he responded to the worst calls dealt with the mental health weight that the job never properly prepares you for and witnessed the fundamental problems with policing that nobody in training ever talks about. The calls that haunted him. The culture that wore him down. The truth about law enforcement that only someone who lived it can tell. Then he quit. To build a content creation platform with his wife Christie — who was also a cop he met on the job — that generated hundreds of thousands of dollars. _____________________________________________ #florida #police #cops _____________________________________________ Connect with Kasey Hagan: https://www.instagram.com/kc_in_motion_/ _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 British Cop Who Left Law Enforcement for Content Creation — Full Story 03:50 Adjusting to Life in America and What That Culture Shock Really Looked Like 06:46 High School Differences Between England and America and the Sports World He Discovered 11:10 His First Steps Toward Law Enforcement and What Drew Him to the Job 15:15 Animal Control Stories That Will Shock You — Where Everything Really Started 19:00 Animal Cruelty Cases and the Dog Adoptions That Defined That Chapter 22:00 The Most Common Cruelty Cases and the Hoarding Situations Nobody Prepares You For 25:56 The Psychology Behind Animal Abusers and What the Research Really Shows 28:59 England Versus America on Animal Issues — the Differences That Shocked Him Most 31:02 Florida Wildlife and the Crazy Exotic Pets That Defined That World 34:30 His Transition From Animal Control to Police Work and What That Required 37:32 Applying to Become a Cop — the Process Most People Never Hear About 42:00 Police Academy Versus Real Life Policing — What Nobody Tells You Before You Start 45:16 His First Calls and What Training on the Job Really Looked Like 49:45 The Culture Shock of American Law Enforcement From a British Officer's Perspective 54:22 The Mental Health Toll of Policing and the Coping Mechanisms That Got Him Through 59:00 Changing Agencies and What the Team Dynamics Really Looked Like 01:04:03 The Rough Calls That Still Stay With Him and the Emotional Impact They Left 01:09:00 The Challenges Inside the Policing System That Nobody Talks About Publicly 01:13:10 Meeting Christy and What Relationship Life Really Looks Like Inside Law Enforcement 01:17:00 His Transition to Content Creation and What That Decision Really Required 01:21:30 Morality Purpose and the Life Changes That Followed Leaving Law Enforcement 01:25:00 His Injury His Back Surgery and What the Recovery Process Really Required 01:29:06 Life After Policing and What Finding Purpose Again Actually Looked Like 01:31:26 His Advice for Anyone Considering a Career in Law Enforcement 01:32:54 His Closing Thoughts and the Fun Revelations He Wants Everyone to Hear _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka Learn more about your ad choices.

Christie Leigh grew up on a military base in a strict family — and the rebellion that followed eventually led her down the wrong path before she turned everything around in her late teens and decided she wanted to help people. She became a hospital tech. Then a cop in Florida. For five years Christie worked as a female police officer in Florida — one of the most challenging environments for a young woman in law enforcement. She shares what it was really like as a rookie female cop in her early twenties the way colleagues and superiors treated her the hardest calls she ever responded to her own experience with domestic violence and what dating inside the department really looks like. And then she made a decision that nobody expected. She quit after five years to pursue content creation full time — with her husband who was also a cop she met on the job. They built a platform together that generated hundreds of thousands of dollars and she never looked back. _____________________________________________ #florida #cops #model #police _____________________________________________ Connect with Christie Leigh: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/christieleighhq/ Website: https://www.christieleighofficial.com/ Linktree: https://linktr.ee/christieleighofficial?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=d565d0ec-92c0-4d6b-bbbd-08f0030f5057 _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Female Police Officer Who Left the Badge for Content Creation — Christie's Full Story 00:43 Growing Up Between City and Country and the Environment That Shaped Everything 01:59 Her Strict Upbringing and the Family Dynamics That Defined Her Early Years 03:13 Teen Rebellion and the Family Struggles That Followed 05:07 Finding Direction After Her Toughest Teen Years 06:16 Working as a Hospital Tech and What That World Really Looked Like 08:11 How Her Medical Experience Prepared Her for Law Enforcement 09:28 Leaving a Troubled Crowd and What That Decision Really Required 10:42 The Perspective Shift That Led Her Toward Police Work 11:32 Improving Her Family Relationships and What That Process Looked Like 12:56 Her Transition Into Police Work and What Those First Days Required 14:03 Her Experience With Domestic Violence and What That Work Really Involved 16:35 Helping Others Through Similar Situations and What That Mission Meant 18:35 Becoming a Young Police Officer and What That World Really Looked Like 21:23 Training Hiring and the Prejudice She Experienced in Policing 25:49 Handling Low Pay and What Law Enforcement Benefits Really Look Like 29:30 Navigating the Toxic Work Environments That Define Too Many Departments 33:44 The Specific Challenges of Being a Female Officer Nobody Talks About 37:33 Her Early Job Challenges and the Harassment That Followed 44:17 Dating Relationships and the Department Drama That Came With Them 52:17 Responding to Dangerous Calls Without Backup and What That Really Felt Like 54:41 The Hardest and Most Emotional Calls That Still Stay With Her Today 57:31 Hard Arrests and What Officer Discretion Really Looks Like From the Inside 01:02:28 Meeting Her Husband and What Workplace Relationships in Law Enforcement Look Like 01:07:07 Leaving Policing for Content Creation and What That Decision Really Required 01:12:40 Reflecting on OnlyFans Her Regrets and the Advice She Wants Everyone to Hear 01:18:16 Her Transition Into Music and Social Media and What That Journey Required 01:22:01 Her Advice to Her Younger Self and Her Final Thoughts on Everything She Survived _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka Learn more about your ad choices.

Known for her grounded, no-BS approach to health and life, she says what most people tiptoe around. A mother of five and a wife for over 30 years, Paula brings real-life experience, not just theory, to every conversation. For more than two decades, Paula's work has been shaped by hands-on experimentation, uncovering what actually helps women feel strong, clear, and capable without chasing quick fixes, one-size-fits-all solutions, or handing power to so-called gurus. Working from her home studio in Illinois, she focuses on practical movement, breathwork, and holistic routines tailored for real life, not trends. Her approach centers on daily habits that help the body handle stress, use energy efficiently, and sustain long-term health. After years of building and marketing her own business behind the scenes, Paula now brings that work into livestreaming and digital content.

BAD BUNNY — Playboy is many things to quite a few people. We don't have to go into its history, but the thing you need to know is this: it's back. Yes, there will be photos of women in various stages of undress, and yes, there will be sharp writing from sharp minds. But mostly, the people behind it are going to try and build up the media brand, and that's important, because Playboy was arguably the first magazine that used its content at the center of a much larger and much more diverse brand ecosystem. The new editor-in-chief also comes with another title, Chief Brand Officer, which gives you an indication that these people aren't messing around. Philip Picardi has a long history in magazines and has also worked in brand. He's also gay, which honestly, I have some trouble saying here because it doesn't matter that he is. But when I tell my friends that the new editor-in-chief of Playboy, an heir to Hugh Hefner of all people, is gay, well, that raises an eyebrow. Because Playboy is a lot of things, but it's also a very male, very heterosexual brand. But what if I told you that some of the best writing coming out of Playboy now was being written by a cadre of hyper-talented young women, that Philip's boss used to work at National Geographic and Disney, or that Philip received his master's degree from the Harvard Divinity School? Should I keep going? Because I could. Just listen to our discussion. We're going to dispel some misconceptions and then some. — This episode is made possible by our friends at Freeport Press.

THE INDUSTRY'S LITTLE SISTER — In early April, what's left of the magazine industry gathered at Terminal 5 to see who would win this year's National Magazine Awards—the ASMEs. Throughout the evening, the usual suspects stepped up to accept their Alexander Calder brass elephants—the ‘Ellies'—on behalf of their teams at The Atlantic, New York, and The New York Times Magazine.  Then came the award for General Excellence, Service and Lifestyle—a category that covers every food, fashion, and fitness magazine in the business. And the Ellie went to… content juggernaut Highsnobiety—a sneaker blog-turned-cool kid media amalgam that encompasses a twice-annual $20-per-issue print magazine, plus a flood of social media, a website that is also an e-commerce platform, and a creative agency that does 360-degree marketing and storytelling for brands. Before the crowd could start scratching their graying heads, a Billie Eilish lookalike in a gray Thom Brown skirt-and-pant suit took to the dais. There were plenty of people in that room who had never given Highsnobiety much, if any, thought.  But in that moment, this woman, Willa Bennett, Highsnobiety's 30-year-old editor-in-chief, had officially become a force to be reckoned with. Not only that, but Highsnobiety's business model, which bends rules that had long been sacrosanct in magazine journalism, suddenly appeared to have won the seal of approval from the oldest of the old guard.   The post at Highsnobiety was a major leap for Bennett. Just two years ago, she was the social media manager at GQ. Our friends who worked with her there tell us they thought of her as “the industry's little sister”—hungry, passionate, and looking to translate the magic of magazines to a new generation. They said that even though she's disrupting the magazine as we once knew it, at heart Bennett is a “a magazine junkie who really venerates  the old ways.”  And now the surprise win has put her in the spotlight of the establishment media, with The New York Times Styles running a portrait of Bennett in her signature suit-and-tie look on its cover. The win inspired a segment on the Slate Culture Gabfest in which the hosts pondered, “What Is a Magazine Now?” Over in Spreadlandia, we thought, Why not turn that question directly to Willa Bennett herself? In the end, this conversation left us feeling more optimistic than usual about the future of media. It also made us feel old as shit. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did. — This episode is a special collboration with our friends at The Spread and is made possible by our friends at Commercial Type, and Freeport Press.

In this episode of The Ugandan Boy Talk Show, I sit down with Ugandan digital creator and influencer Janice Kemigisha Muzungu.Janice shares her journey from creating simple videos at university to becoming one of Uganda's recognizable digital personalities. We talk about her first viral moments, building a community online, working with major brands, the pressure of being a public figure, and what people don't see behind the content.We also dive into the future of Uganda's creator economy, staying authentic online, dealing with criticism, collaborations, and the lessons she has learned while turning creativity into a career.This conversation is about more than social media — it's about consistency, courage, growth, and building something from nothing.

#935 Why do some people get all excited about starting a challenge that can change their lives, only to quit after the very first day? What are the factors pushing others forward to consistent wins? In both cases, one key element might be fear. But here's the thing. We can let fear stop us from taking action, or use the exact same mental state to keep going! That's one of the many takeaways from today's conversation with Roger Coles of My Social Designer. Liz Wilcox and I knew we had to find out what makes Roger tick after seeing how well he did in our 30-day short-form video challenge. For one, his combination of discipline and playfulness is a perfect example of what it takes to stand out online and build a creator business in 2026. From content strategy and workflow shortcuts to mindset shifts and building lucrative relationships with big brands, this chat is a goldmine. Enjoy!

On this episode of Travis Makes Money, Travis and producer Eric dive into a surprising statistic: Meta Reels has grown into a $50 billion annual revenue machine, generating more revenue than major brands like Netflix, Nike, Spotify, Airbnb, and Coca-Cola. Their conversation explores the economics of social media platforms, content monetization, creator payouts, and how entrepreneurs can capitalize on the growing creator economy. Along the way, they compare the revenues of some of the world's biggest companies and discuss how digital content has become one of the most powerful business models in history. On this episode we talk about: How Meta Reels became a $50 billion annual revenue business Comparing the revenues of companies like Coca-Cola, Netflix, Nike, Visa, Spotify, and Airbnb The opportunities and challenges of content monetization on Facebook and Instagram Why creator-focused platforms continue to attract advertisers and investment Lessons from Airbnb's growth, changing customer experience, and business model evolution Top 3 Takeaways Attention is one of the most valuable assets in business, and platforms that capture it at scale can generate enormous revenue. Content creators are often leaving money on the table by failing to activate or optimize platform monetization programs. Building an audience creates multiple income opportunities, from ad revenue and sponsorships to long-term business growth and brand partnerships. Notable Quotes "Meta Reels by itself does more revenue than all of those other companies." "It speaks to what we always talk about, which is the personal branding and audience growth and how that relates to your ability to make money long term." "Attention is valuable, and the platforms that own attention have built some of the biggest businesses in the world."
