Jeremy Packee and Emily Anderson break down April's biggest paid media updates, including Google's aggressive AI Max expansion across Search and Shopping campaigns, Microsoft launching AI Max for Search, and OpenAI officially entering the ad platform space with self-serve ChatGPT ads and CPC bidding. They also discuss Google's new AI-powered qualified call lead tracking, Meta opening AI connectors for advertisers, and the growing shift toward conversational and visual search experiences. The episode explores how AI-generated ad copy, automation-heavy campaign types, and intent-based targeting are changing the way advertisers think about performance media strategy. While these tools continue evolving rapidly, the hosts emphasize the importance of testing carefully and maintaining strong human oversight. Episode Highlights Biggest Shift Google officially replacing Dynamic Search Ads with AI Max marks another major step toward keywordless and AI-driven campaign management across Search and Shopping. Biggest Platform Signal OpenAI launching self-serve ChatGPT ads with CPC bidding signals that conversational AI platforms are rapidly becoming legitimate advertising channels. New Feature to Test Google's AI-powered qualified call lead tracking could provide advertisers with more meaningful phone call conversion data without relying entirely on third-party tools. Control Upgrade Google's new AI Brief controls for AI Max campaigns give advertisers more influence over messaging, audience direction, and search matching through natural language prompts. Creative Reality Check AI-generated ad copy and creative tools continue improving quickly, but Jeremy and Emily caution that brands still risk losing differentiation if everyone relies too heavily on the same automation systems. Other Platform Updates • Microsoft launched AI Max for Search campaigns • Google introduced real-time policy reviews for Responsive Search Ads • Reddit expanded Reminder Ads globally for all advertisers • TikTok added more Smart+ campaign controls and expanded Symphony AI creative tools • Demand Gen added view-through conversion optimization and Commerce Media Suite support • OpenAI released GPT-5.5 and ChatGPT Images 2.0 • Anthropic launched Claude Opus 4.7 and Claude Design • Meta expanded its AI business assistant and introduced Ads AI connectors in open beta • Google updated Ads data controls and added new experiment auto-apply settings • Microsoft added landing page reporting for Performance Max campaigns • eMarketer projects Meta could surpass Google in digital ad revenue by the end of 2026 Final Take AI is no longer just assisting campaign management, it's actively reshaping how advertising platforms operate. But as automation expands across search, creative, targeting, and reporting, the competitive advantage still comes from strategy, testing, and knowing when human judgment matters most.

Fear has a way of convincing us that we’re alone — that our future is uncertain, our past is catching up to us, and the darkness ahead is too much to face. But Psalm 23 offers a different vision: a Shepherd who goes before us, walks beside us, and pursues us with goodness and mercy. Rather than denying the realities that frighten us, it points us to the presence of Christ in the midst of them. Listen to this sermon as Shawn Slate explores why the Good Shepherd is the answer to our deepest fears. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here. Visit us on our website to learn more.

C'est un témoignage exceptionnel, celui de Joseph Figueira, le chercheur belgo-portugais qui a été arrêté par des mercenaires russes de Wagner il y a 2 ans jour pour jour – c'était à Zemio, dans le sud-est de la République centrafricaine – et qui a été finalement libéré le 7 avril dernier pour raisons humanitaires. A-t-il été arrêté par hasard ou a-t-il été une cible soigneusement choisie à des fins de propagande politique ? A-t-il vu sa dernière heure arriver dans les cachots secrets de Wagner et dans les prisons centrafricaines ? En ligne du Portugal, où il se reconstruit en famille, le chercheur répond à Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI : Nous sommes le 26 mai 2024, à Zemio, dans le sud-est de la Centrafrique, vous êtes en train de terminer une expertise de terrain pour l'ONG américaine FHI 360 dans le cadre d'un appel à projet de l'Usaid. Vous buvez une bière dans une « guest house » avec plusieurs autres humanitaires et là vous voyez arriver trois Russes du groupe Wagner accompagnés d'un gendarme centrafricain. Qu'est-ce qui se passe à ce moment-là ? Joseph Figueira : À ce moment-là, je ne comprends pas trop. Ils arrivent, ils me signalent que je dois les suivre et donc ils me forcent à les suivre. Ils me mettent sur une moto qui nous emmène jusqu'à l'aérodrome où ils avaient une petite base temporaire. Très vite, vous êtes embarqué dans un avion, direction Bria, dans le centre du pays. Pourquoi Bria ? Alors, je ne sais pas, je pense que c'est parce qu'ils ont ce qu'on peut appeler un « black site », un site noir, qui échappe à tout contrôle de l'État. Et je sais que c'est un lieu où plusieurs personnes ont disparu et sont régulièrement torturées. C'est un ancien bâtiment construit par des diamantaires et là, vous subissez des coups, des sévices. Vous êtes menacé de mort ? Oui, oui, je suis menacé de mort plusieurs fois. Je suis frappé. J'ai aussi le poignet menotté à la cheville pendant deux jours. Est-ce qu'il y a un moment où vous avez vraiment cru que vous alliez mourir ? Oui, oui, plusieurs fois, ils m'ont mis en joue et puis ils m'ont dit aussi que j'allais mourir. Donc oui. Et puis, j'entendais des cris d'appel à l'aide, des supplications d'autres personnes qui étaient en train de se faire torturer. Et puis, après mon transfèrement au camp de Roux, à Bangui, j'ai aussi connu plusieurs personnes qui avaient fait l'objet de tortures de la part du groupe Wagner. Dès votre arrestation à Zemio, vos deux téléphones portables sont confisqués. Est-ce que vous pensez que les Russes de Wagner vous ont pris par hasard parce que vous étiez un des rares Européens qui circulait à Zemio ? Où est-ce que vous pensez qu'ils vous ciblaient personnellement ? Oui, je comprends tout de suite que j'étais ciblé, parce que dès que je suis emmené à l'aérodrome, on me montre deux photos de moi qui proviennent d'un groupe WhatsApp où il y a des ministres et des ex-ministres centrafricains qui sont présents dans le groupe. Je comprends tout de suite que ces photos ont été transmises au groupe Wagner et donc, je comprends que c'est un commando qui est venu me chercher. Voulez-vous dire qu'ils vous ciblaient grâce à des complicités au sein du gouvernement centrafricain ? Oui, et donc ils m'accusent tout de suite d'être un membre de la CPC, Coalition des patriotes pour le changement. Ce qui frappe pendant vos deux ans de détention, c'est l'acharnement des Russes de Wagner contre votre personne. Les sévices en prison dès l'étape de Bria, les pressions sur vous et sur le procureur lors de votre procès à Bangui, qui se termine en novembre dernier par une condamnation à dix ans de travaux forcés, malgré la défense acharnée de maître Nicolas Tiangaye. Qu'est-ce que les Russes voulaient prouver à travers votre personne ? Je pense qu'ils veulent surtout diaboliser les ONG, les médias, les partenaires occidentaux de façon générale, parce qu'il y a certaines ONG qui documentent les exactions qui sont commises par le groupe Wagner et donc évidemment ce n'est pas dans leur intérêt d'avoir ces personnes présentes sur le territoire centrafricain. Il faut diaboliser les Américains ? C'est cela. Mais vous n'êtes pas Américain ? Non, je ne suis pas Américain. Non, mais pour les Wagner, c'était suffisant. Parce que vous aviez eu l'occasion de travailler dans des projets financés par l'Usaid, en fait ? Et aussi notamment à cause du soutien que je fournissais au travail d'enquête du bureau du greffe de la CPI. La Cour pénale internationale... Oui. Qui a un bureau à Bangui... Oui. Qui dans le groupe Wagner jouait un rôle actif pour vous mettre en accusation et vous faire condamner ? Alors, je ne sais pas qui exactement, mais je sais que c'étaient des gens assez haut placés au sein du groupe qui sont assez bien connus à Bangui. Qu'est-ce qui vous le laisse penser ? Toute la campagne de diffamation, de diabolisation qui a été mise en place, notamment à travers plusieurs comptes Twitter, des articles placés dans la presse… Ça correspond au mode opératoire du groupe Wagner. Après deux ans de détention, Joseph Figuera, vous avez fini par être libéré le 7 avril pour raison humanitaire, officiellement. Qu'est-ce qui a joué en faveur de cette mesure de clémence ? Je pense que ce sont principalement les efforts menés par le Portugal et la Belgique. Et puis aussi la pression des ONG derrière, mais pas que. Il y a aussi eu des rapports publiés par le groupe de travail de l'ONU sur les mercenaires, sur la détention arbitraire. Et je crois que vous avez pu recevoir la visite de représentants consulaires de la Belgique et du Portugal... Oui, dès le début. Et aujourd'hui, à qui voulez-vous dire merci ? Eh bien, merci à mes deux pays, à toutes les ONG, à mes amis, à la famille et puis aux médias aussi, comme RFI, parce que je pense que, sans vous, je ne serais pas là aujourd'hui. Avez-vous eu des moments de désespoir ? Oui. Vous savez, le camp de Roux à Bangui, ce sont vraiment des conditions inhumaines. Donc, il y a eu des jours très, très compliqués. On a eu plusieurs décès aussi à l'intérieur. On se rend bien compte que, dans ce genre d'endroit, la vie est très fragile. Mais voilà, j'avais tout ce monde derrière moi et c'est ce qui m'a permis de tenir. Et dans ces moments-là, on tient comment ? Grâce à la foi et à l'idée de savoir que la famille nous attend dehors.

In a world that talks endlessly about love, how do we actually know what love looks like? When we take a look at Scripture, it challenges the idea that love is simply following our feelings, revealing instead how God’s law shapes and defines what it means to truly love others. Far from being restrictive, God’s commands are shown to be a guide toward human flourishing, faithfulness, and lives transformed by grace. Listen to this sermon as Twaambo Moyo explores how the gospel changes our relationship to the law and teaches us to love the way God intended. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

Host Devin Becker sits down with Tom Gayner, CEO of Levellr, to dig into what it actually looks like to listen to players at scale, and how to turn the constant stream of feedback from places like Discord and Reddit into usable sentiment signals. Tom breaks down how Levellr gathers and organizes that data, what teams gain when they treat social channels as a living feedback layer, and how different communities or players tend to “slant” the conversation in different ways. They also get practical about workflows (dashboards and reports vs. hands-on collaboration), how to group feedback into meaningful player personas, when proactive outreach makes sense, where social sentiment shines (and where research methods like focus groups still matter), and what the next 3–5 years of player feedback might look like as tools, and player expectations, keep evolving.We'd like to thank Heroic Labs for making this episode possible!

In this episode of Growing Ecommerce, Mike Ryan and Chris Scharmueller dive into the much-anticipated updates to the OpenAI ads platform and break down Google's staggering Q1 earnings report.While OpenAI has finally transitioned their ad platform from a primitive Excel spreadsheet to a proper User Interface, their highly publicized shift to a CPC model is raising major red flags. We break down the math behind their highly constrained $3 to $5 max CPC range, revealing how it mathematically equates to the exact same astronomical $60 effective CPM they originally launched with. We discuss why advertisers should demand more transparency and control before shifting their performance budgets to ChatGPT.We also unpack Google's unstoppable Q1 momentum. With a massive $110 billion in revenue and an 80% spike in earnings per share, Google is silencing the "death of Search" narrative. We explore their impressive 19% core Search growth, the staggering 63% surge in Google Cloud that is heavily outpacing AWS and Azure, and why Google's massive $180 billion CapEx guidance for 2026 solidifies their dominance in the AI arms race.Key Takeaways:• The OpenAI Ad Trap: Don't be fooled by OpenAI's new CPC bidding model. By forcing advertisers into a strict $3 to $5 CPC range, the platform is essentially maintaining its premium $60 effective CPM under a disguise. Advertisers should hold off on shifting performance budgets until real incrementality and transparency are proven.• Search is Still Thriving: Despite the ongoing narrative that AI will kill traditional search engines, Google's core Search product grew by 19% year-over-year. The search giant's core advertising flywheel remains the most reliable engine for ecommerce growth.• Google Cloud is Winning the AI War: Google Cloud (GCS) achieved a staggering 63% year-over-year growth, heavily outpacing Amazon AWS (28%) and Microsoft Azure (39%). Powered by deep Gemini integration and proprietary TPUs, Google's vertical integration puts them in a unique position to dominate the next decade.Resources & Links:• Access all our webinars, reports, and playbooks in our Knowledge Hub: https://smarter-ecommerce.com/en/knowledge-hub/ • How is your industry stacking up in the market?

LMP Rack Deep Dive: Hot Gas Defrost, Superheat Mitigation & Refrigeration “Witchcraft”Brett Wetzel and Kevin Compass kick off the Advanced Refrigeration Podcast with weekend plans and a chaotic start featuring mystery music and van-recorded audio, then jump into Kevin's hectic week swapping out 40-year-old racks and venting about painfully unserviceable EPR and valve layouts while converting controls from CPC to Danfoss. Brett outlines a common VFD control issue where a 0–100% signal causes deadband, aggressive ramping, and cycling, teeing up a future demo with virtual displays. The main discussion breaks down an LMP rack P&ID with heat reclaim, low-temp hot gas defrost, suction setpoints, superheat mitigation via inversely controlled valves and plate heat exchangers, discharge pressure regulation and staged valve reopening after defrost, load shedding, oil separation strategy, and auxiliary heat exchanger quirks, then detours into cool gas defrost debate and a cutaway look at a Venturi-style “injector” device used to cool discharge gas.

In this episode, we break down the difference between old-school Facebook advertising strategies and the way Meta ads actually work in 2026. A lot of advertisers are still trying to control every part of their ad account with heavy targeting, endless tweaks, and complicated setups, but the platform has changed dramatically. We discuss why traditional Facebook Ads tactics are becoming less effective, how Meta's algorithm and AI-driven optimisation now play a much bigger role, and what modern advertisers need to focus on instead.The conversation also covers common mistakes businesses make when scaling Meta ads, why many advertisers panic when performance fluctuates, and how to properly interpret Facebook Ads metrics like CTR, CPC, ROAS, CPA, and conversion data. We explore the shift away from manual media buying and towards simpler, more stable advertising strategies that allow Meta to optimise more effectively.If you run e-commerce ads, lead generation campaigns or paid social advertising for clients, this episode will help you better understand how Facebook advertising is evolving and what you need to change to stay profitable with Meta ads moving forward.BUT THERE'S MORE...Follow me on Instagram to keep up to date with all the latest hacks: @nickboddington You can now watch the episode on Youtube!
Politics can feel exhausting, divisive, or impossible to escape — but how should Christians actually engage with the world of government and power? When exploring the tension between earthly authority and ultimate allegiance to Christ, we see a vision for faithful citizenship that neither idolizes politics nor withdraws from it. In a culture tempted to place its hope in leaders and institutions, we’re reminded where true hope is meant to rest. Listen to this sermon as Andrew Smith unpacks what it means to honor authority while keeping Christ at the center of our loyalty. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

On this day, 16 May 1967, the All Circles Struggle Committee (ACSC) was established in Hong Kong in the wake of violent police repression of a strike of plastic flower factory workers. On May 6, British colonial police violently beat picketing workers and bystanders, causing mass outrage. Protests against and clashes with police began breaking out across the city. After the ACSC was set up to coordinate a movement against colonialism, 126 struggle committees had been formed within the next two days to share experiences and plan action. A week later, wildcat strikes began to break out, with widespread rioting. In June, a general strike was called, which eventually faltered although strikes in some industries continued until late July. As the strike collapsed, many protesters began resorting to bomb attacks – both real and fake – targeting British authorities to cause chaos and disrupt business as usual. The "Hong Kong riots," as they became known, lasted until December before they were called off after secret talks between British authorities and the Communist Party of China. The CPC were nominally opposed to British colonialism, but in reality the Chinese economy benefited from having access to international markets through British Hong Kong and so they eventually decided not to push for British withdrawal. While the protests ended, in their wake British authorities implemented numerous reforms which significantly improved the lives of working class Hong Kongers. These included UK-style social benefits for the unemployed, the disabled and the elderly, construction of new hospitals and homes, abolition of some sexist laws, and rampant police corruption was largely eradicated.

It's springtime, the sun is out, and the "BFFs" are back for a conversation that is as refreshing as the season. In this episode, Heather Pettey, CPC, and Dr. Carol Lynn dive into the "beauty treatments" of midlife—from the glamorous style of Mad Men to the practical (and often unspoken) medical solutions for bladder health. Whether you're curious about the "tampon trick" for exercise-induced leaking, wondering about the recovery time for a bladder sling, or just looking for a bargain on a new layered necklace set, this episode covers it all. Heather and Carol Lynn remind us that thriving in midlife means taking care of ourselves from the inside out—and maybe doing it in a very cute wide-leg jogger set. In This Episode, We Discuss: Pop Culture Pursuits: Why Dr. Carol Lynn is officially obsessed with Mad Men and the timeless "Betty Draper" aesthetic. Springtime Beauty Checklists: The duo's personal lists for the season, including laser hair removal, Botox timing, and the "au naturel" nail trend. The "Leaky Bladder" Conversation: Dr. Carol Lynn breaks down the difference between urge incontinence and stress incontinence. Medical Solutions for Midlife: * ThermiVa: An in-office, non-surgical treatment for vaginal dryness and bladder control. The Urethral Sling: What the "bladder tack" surgery actually is and what to expect during recovery. The Tampon Trick: A simple hack for women who experience leaking specifically during exercise. Midlife Fashion & Bargains: Heather shares her favorite "retro" wide-leg jogger set and Carol Lynn reveals a $15 layered necklace find. Featured Resources & Links: Skincare Favorites: Obagi Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 50. Home Tech: Michael Todd Dermaplaning Tool. Heather's Look: Retro wide-leg jogger set.

In a world shaped by outrage and division, it’s easy to believe that revenge is the only path to justice. But the gospel offers a radically different way — one that confronts wrongdoing honestly while refusing to let bitterness have the final word. Through life’s hardest challenges, we’re invited to see how forgiveness can break cycles of hurt and open the door to something unexpected and healing. Listen to this sermon as Jason Harris explores what it means to love not only our neighbors, but even our enemies. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

In this episode of Brake Check, we're coming to you LIVE from day two of the Tenstreet User Conference, and we're tackling the massive elephant in the room: AI. Everybody is talking about it, but what does practical AI actually mean for the industry? Charles Gracey hits the showroom floor to cut through the buzzwords and sit down with the heavy hitters shaping the future of freight and driver recruiting. First up, Charles is joined by Steve Brown, CRO of Tenstreet, to break down the highly-anticipated "Tenstreet Assistant." We're not talking about replacing the human element—we're talking about removing the mindless data entry and spreadsheet tracking so recruiters can get back to what matters: building real relationships with drivers. Then, Linnette Torres, Director of Compliance and Recruiting at CPC Logistics, drops in to give us a boots-on-the-ground look at the private fleet sector. Linnette shares CPC's impressive driver benefits, the gritty reality of recruiting in today's unpredictable market, and what it's really like to beta-test these new AI tools. Finally, Charles catches up with Kevin Hall, CEO of CDLLife. They dig into how data intelligence is mapping out the actual driver journey, the critical difference between passive and active job seekers, and why carrier recruiting budgets are finally starting to open back up as the market shifts. No fluff. No spin. Just real conversations about: What "real AI" actually looks like for carriers in 2026 Why the human touch will never be replaced in trucking Surviving the unpredictability of today's driver market No pie charts; No PowerPoints; No sanitized narratives. This is real trucking talk with real trucking people... calling out broken systems, asking uncomfortable questions, and demanding accountability where it's long overdue. If you care about the future of trucking, this is a conversation you can't afford to miss. Follow the Brake Check Podcast Other FreightWaves Shows Learn more about your ad choices.

Individuals imprisoned for their religion or belief continue to face state repression even upon their release. For example, in Saudi Arabia, China, and Egypt, many released prisoners face bans on leaving the country, preventing them from visiting family, speaking freely about their experiences, or finding work or residency in other countries. Such bans often have little oversight, transparency, or opportunity for appeal. In Vietnam, individuals are pressured not to speak to media or post on social media. In Nicaragua they are deported from the country as a condition for their release. Individuals in Iran may be forbidden from joining social groups or civil society organizations or face restrictions on their religious activities. They also may be sent into internal exile, miles away from their family and friends. In this episode of USCIRF Spotlight, Chair Vicky Hartzler speaks with Freedom House President Gerardo Berthin about individuals who continue to face restrictions on their religious freedom even after leaving prison. The episode highlights USCIRF-recommended CPC and SWL countries where such practices are in place and discusses policy recommendations for Congress and the administration to hold accountable governments engaged in these restrictions.
What happens when a 26-year performance marketing veteran looks at the creator and affiliate divide and says the industry is solving the wrong problem entirely?If your affiliate program and creator program sit in separate budget lines with separate managers measured against completely different success metrics, this episode will feel uncomfortably familiar. Todd Ulisoe, Chief Revenue Officer of Nomix Group, has spent 26 years watching brands unknowingly build the same problem into their marketing structures over and over again. The solution, he argues, is not better technology. It's better people alignment.Todd's career reads like a history of digital marketing itself: Amazon in its early days, building one of the world's second-largest ad networks, marketing for Dane Cook before influencer was even a word, building and selling three separate businesses. Now at Nomix Group, overseeing a portfolio that processes three billion monthly queries, he's seeing exactly where the creator and affiliate worlds are colliding and how brands can stop treating that collision like a problem.Talking Points Include:Why the creator versus affiliate budget battle has nothing to do with technology and everything to do with how people are compensated, and what actually has to shift at C-suite level before any of it changesHow unified measurement frameworks work in practice, and why brands that reconcile creators and affiliates against the same verified transaction outcomes will outperform those that keep them siloedWhat three billion monthly queries tells you about where consumer intent is moving right now, and which channels are capturing purchase signals before Google even gets involvedWhy Todd believes the label affiliate marketing is holding the channel back, and what calling it performance-based media would actually unlock for brands trying to build market shareThe crawl, walk, run approach to integrating creators into your existing affiliate program without breaking the economics that are already workingListen to Find Out More About:Why Todd refuses to call it affiliate marketing anymore, and what renaming the channel to performance-based media would do for how brands budget and value itThe distinction between transparency and brand safety that changes how you should be questioning your publisher partners entirelyWhat the Target creator program restructure signals about where the rest of retail is heading with its partner mixClicks without context: the metric Todd says performance marketers are most consistently wrong about right now, and what to focus on insteadThe rapid fire round: one channel to back for the next five years, CPA versus revenue share, and the best conference opener after 26 years in the industryKey Segments of This Podcast and Where You Can Tune In to Go Direct:[06:25] Where the affiliate and creator worlds actually break down: different budget owners, different success metrics, and why forcing both into the same operating logic creates friction before a single campaign launches[18:31] What three billion monthly queries actually tells you about consumer intent in 2025 and which channels are picking up purchase signals before Google is even in the picture[24:15] CPC to CPA: why Todd says it is just math, how Shopnomix runs 90 to 95 percent CPA, and the four-step framework for proving out the economics before you scale[29:41] Rapid fire: creators or traditional affiliates for the next five years, the metric everyone gets wrong, and the line Todd uses at conferences after 26 years in the gameSend me a text with your questions

The kind of community we long for is real, but it looks nothing like what the world typically offers. When we turn to Scripture, we see a radically different vision of relationships, where love is genuine, self-giving, and strong enough to endure both joy and pain. This vision challenges the way we approach others, inviting us into a deeper, more honest, and more sacrificial way of living together. Listen to this sermon as Jason Harris shows how receiving Christ’s love can reshape the way we love one another. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

It's Casual Friday On today's program: Conservative pundits are failing to keep it together as the Trump administration's support continues to crater to record lows. One example is Scott Jennings live on CNN swearing Meidas Touch's wunderkind, Adam Mockler. Jeet Heer, national affairs correspondent at The Nation joins the program to recap the week's biggest stories. Topics include: The War in Iran, Trump's fixation on his own legacy, the buried DNC autopsy and more. For more from Jeet, check out his podcast "In the Time of Monsters". Rep. Greg Casar (D-TX), chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) joins the show to discuss the CPC's new Affordability Agenda. In the Fun Half: Pete Hegseth appears before congress as a part of the military's budget request hearings, and it does not go well for him. Hegseth implies the soldiers that survived the drone attack that killed 6 servicemembers were lying when they said that they had almost no support. Also at the hearing, Rep. Jason Crow exposes Hegseth recommissioning his personal attorney and now top adviser at the Pentagon Tim Parlatore, who also represents clients that are in line for promotion by Hegseth so that he could sidestep any venting process. Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) goes on Fox to lie Kamala-style about how great the economy is. "You can just feel how good things are". Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) takes a different approach to manipulating people around the economy. Rick says that the higher prices at the pump are worth it because now we are safer and can live in freedom. Tim Pool's guest floats the idea that Ben Shapiro is running ads on Tucker Carlson's channel to capture his audience, but Tim shuts it down, saying it would be stupid and bad business—only to admit moments later that he's done the same thing to The Majority Report's channel.

Jonathan Carson, Co-founder and CEO of Antenna, discusses how measurement in streaming is evolving and why it remains inconsistent across platforms. With experience from Nielsen, The Trade Desk, and Vevo, he shares how subscription data, signups, and shifting viewing behavior are influencing how performance is tracked today. The conversation looks at the gap between traditional measurement approaches and the current streaming landscape.

Spring Fling & The Micro-Rest Revolution: Episode 270 with Heather Pettey, CPC & Dr. Carol Lynn It's a beautiful April, and that means it's time for some spring refreshing with your favorite Life Coach BFFs! Join host Heather Pettey, CPC, and the fabulous Dr. Carol Lynn as they celebrate the vibrant start of spring and discuss tangible ways to reorganize, re-energize, and step into your power. This week, the "dynamic duo" dives into the allergy struggles common this time of year—and correct etiquette for dealing with them in public!—before tackling the main event: the "Micro-Rest Revolution." Heather and Carol explain why finding just 60 to 90 seconds of intentional peace (what they call a "micro-rest") can be more effective for lowering cortisol and resetting your nervous system than a long nap. You'll get practical advice on somatic grounding, breathing exercises like box breathing, and even the simple restorative power of laughter. And you don't want to miss an impromptu "Show and Tell" where Heather shares her latest uplifting finds (on a budget!). In this episode, we chat about: April Refresh: Feeling the seasonal itch to reorganize, clear out the clutter, and step into your personal power. Allergy SOS: Experiencing one of the worst allergy seasons in years, and why dabbing is always better than blowing at the table. The Micro-Rest Revolution: How specific 60 to 90-second nervous system resets can lower cortisol more effectively than long breaks. Breathwork & Grounding: Dr. Carol Lynn's tips for box breathing and restoring your vagus nerve with humming, gargling, and somatic exercises. Sensory Therapy: Why scents and fragrances promotes memories and resets your environment (and how they helped Heather with COVID recovery!). Show & Tell! Heather's restful trip to Walmart (at 8:30 AM!) and the fabulous items she found to unstick her: The adorable beaded strawberry wristlet handbag (perfect for your essentials!). Grab here! The comfortable, stylish mint green slide shoes (and a peek into future Masters Party plans!). Her first waterless, cordless diffuser—and the Amazon fragrance that makes her home smell like the Ritz Carlton. Check-Out Chaos: A hilarious debate on the stress of shopping high peak times at big-box stores, self-checkout woes, and the "Great Walmart Pricing Mystery." Memory Lane: A fun trip back to the Humboldt, Tennessee Strawberry Festival, complete with floats, "Little Miss" royalty, snaps, and invisible dogs!

Host Devin Becker sits down with Nicolas Vizioli (Founder of Lemonade) to unpack what “AI coding for UGC in Roblox” actually looks like in practice, ranging from how Lemonade plugs into Roblox workflows to why Roblox is a uniquely interesting target compared to broader “vibe coding” for apps. Nicolas shares early results, where the product is (and isn't) competitive with Roblox's native tools, and how AI-assisted development has changed over the time he's been building in this space. They also zoom out to where AI fits across UGC platforms, what impact it's already having on Roblox creators, and what needs to happen, both technically and culturally, to reach the next phase of AI-powered UGC game development.We'd like to thank Heroic Labs for making this episode possible!

In this episode of The Ross Simmonds Show, Ross drops new research across 8,566 high-priority B2B SaaS keywords that reveals how Reddit is quietly dominating bottom-of-funnel search, including the most expensive CPC terms in your Google Ads account. He breaks down what the data actually means for your pipeline and the exact playbook operators need to respond before the gap widens further. Key Takeaways and Insights: 1. How Reddit Changed the SEO Game -Google elevated user-generated content after seeing demand for people-first answers, and Reddit threads now outrank product and category pages across B2B SaaS. -Traditional SEO playbooks built on volume and backlinks are losing ground. The shift is not theoretical. It is happening in your highest-value queries right now. 2. The Scoreboard: Reddit's Share of the Top 3 -Reddit commands 40 to 45 percent of top-three rankings across most B2B SaaS verticals. In three of four industries analyzed, Reddit consistently beat all competitors. -Even established review sites are losing ground to subreddit threads. The brands still ignoring this are handing over pipeline. 3. Myth: Reddit Only Wins on Review Terms -Reddit wins 94 percent of the time for "best software" queries, but 77 percent of Reddit's wins come from non-review, demand-gen keywords. -Reddit is not just stealing review traffic. It is influencing pipeline at every stage of the buyer journey. 4. The CPC Paradox -At $15 to $20 CPC, Reddit wins 45 percent of the time. At $50-plus CPC, that number hits 67 percent. -You are paying $50 per click while a two-year-old Reddit thread captures the organic click above you. 5. Authority Alone Does Not Win Anymore -High domain authority no longer guarantees rankings. Brands that win build long-tail infrastructure aligned to real customer queries. -Long-tail blog content consistently outperforms thin category pages. The edge goes to operators who build depth, not just links. 6. Subreddits Are the Real Competitors -It is not Reddit as a monolith. It is specific communities. The CRM subreddit showed a 49 percent win rate. r/EmailMarketing hit 68 percent. r/SmallBusiness drove nearly 141K monthly searches across tracked queries. -One subreddit can dominate an entire B2B category. These are your real competitors. 7. Long-Tail Is Where Reddit Dominates -For keywords with six or more words, Reddit's win rate hits 87 percent. Years of user questions created a library of hyper-specific content that is nearly impossible to replicate overnight. -That long-tail depth fuels both Google rankings and LLM citations. If you are not building long-tail assets, you are invisible in AI search. 8. Reddit Now Shapes LLM Visibility -B2B buyers use peers, communities, and LLMs to validate decisions, and LLMs are citing Reddit more than ever. -If you are absent from key subreddits, you likely do not exist in AI-generated answers either. Reddit presence influences both the SERP and the model. 9. The Operator Playbook for Winning on Reddit -Run a keyword gap analysis against reddit.com. Identify three to five subreddits consistently outranking you. Engage with value, not pitches. Earn credibility first. -Invest in high-quality educational content and measure sentiment and LLM visibility as part of your growth system. This is how you build presence that compounds.

After the resurrection, doubt and confusion still linger as the disciples struggle to make sense of what has happened. When Jesus appears among them, he meets their fear with peace and their skepticism with grace, inviting them to see and believe. In their uncertainty, we find a reflection of our own — and a Savior who patiently draws us into deeper faith. Listen to this sermon as Jason Harris explores how the risen Jesus meets us in our doubts and leads us into lasting belief. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

Episode 363: Your Mission Is Clear. Is Your Story? (Brandy Walker)Episode SummaryMost nonprofit leaders are skilled at communicating their mission, but far fewer know how to tell their own story, and that gap is costing them donors, alignment, and influence. In Episode 363, Brandy Walker, M.A., CPC, founder of Brand Worthy Solutions and a former nonprofit fundraiser and educator, breaks down why personal storytelling isn't self-promotion, it's strategy. Drawing on her frameworks for trust, team alignment, and clarity, Brandy explains the three story types every leader needs in their toolkit (origin, impact, and transformation), why audience misalignment is the most common fundraising mistake she sees, and how even the most introverted leader can build visibility through a ladder of communication that starts with a simple weekly message. Practical, direct, and immediately actionable, this conversation will change how nonprofit leaders think about showing up, and who they're showing up for.About BrandyBrandy Walker, M.A., CPC, is the founder of Brand Worthy Solutions and a strategist, storyteller, and trusted thought partner with more than 20 years of experience across education, nonprofit leadership, fundraising, and organizational strategy. A former K–12 educator, seven-figure grant writer, and nonprofit C-suite leader, Brandy stands at the intersection of strategy and storytelling — helping leaders and organizations tell better stories to, about, and for themselves so their work is understood, valued, and positioned for growth. Through Brand Worthy Solutions, she works with leaders navigating personal brand evolution, organizational reinvention, and new chapters of leadership, offering support across brand strategy and positioning, storytelling and messaging, and consulting and advisory services.

Economic historian Adam Tooze returns to Sinica fresh from the China Development Forum and his second extended visit to Beijing in under a year. In this wide-ranging conversation, Adam and I cover the 15th Five-Year Plan — what it signals about Beijing's development priorities and whether it represents a genuine shift away from investment-led growth — and the extraordinary scale of China's renewable energy buildout, which Adam argues may be bringing us to the global peak of CO2 emissions right now.They discuss the concept of the “big green state,” why Western analysts keep dancing around the role of the CPC in driving China's environmental transformation, and what the “Chinamaxxing” phenomenon says about a slow but real reckoning in Western public consciousness. From Europe's evolving posture toward China — caught between EV anxieties and transatlantic rupture — to China's role in the Global South's energy future, the conversation moves through coal transitions, Indonesian nickel zones, African microgrids, and the collapse of the flying geese model.The episode closes with a frank exchange on the Iran war, the postponed Trump-Xi summit, the stunning political silence on American campuses, and what Beijing is most likely doing: sitting pretty and waiting it out. Adam also offers a preview of his forthcoming book on the energy transition — which turns out to be another massive one — and recommends Tim Sahay and Wang Hui as essential reading.02:44 – Adam's Chinese language study: HSK3, the Confucius Institute curriculum, and the joys of chasing characters09:41 – The jìhuà/guīhuà distinction and what the shift in nomenclature from the 11th Five-Year Plan onward actually signals12:01 – The 15th Five-Year Plan: green energy tinkering, sci-tech ambitions, and the human development dimension18:10 – Does Beijing genuinely mean to shift from investment-led growth?
