Marriage carries deep hopes, wounds, and longings, yet Scripture invites us to see it as something far richer than culture’s changing definitions. In the Song of Songs, marriage is revealed as a joyful, covenantal union marked by exclusivity, mutuality, and enduring commitment. Beyond human relationships, marriage also points to a greater mystery — the faithful, pursuing love of Christ for his people. Listen to this sermon as Jason Harris unpacks a theology of marriage that reshapes how we understand love, commitment, and our ultimate hope in Christ. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

In a culture obsessed with self-definition, the search for identity often leaves us restless rather than secure. Scripture offers a better way: identity received, not achieved, rooted in being fully known and deeply loved by God. The Song of Songs reveals how love shapes who we are and who we are becoming in Christ. Watch this sermon as Jason Harris explores how a theology of identity frees us from self-invention and grounds us in God’s transforming love. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

Veterinary medicine asks a lot of the people who practice it. To continue showing up for difficult cases, emotional clients, and challenging demands, many veterinarians learn to put on “emotional armor,” like humor and control. However, what happens when this “armor” stops protecting and starts wearing down? In this episode of The Resilient Vet: Mind and Body Strategies for Success, hosts Aaron Shaw, OTR/L, CHT, CSCS, and Jennifer Edwards, DVM, ACC, CPC, ELI-MP, explore how emotional armor forms, when it becomes costly, and how veterinary professionals can find a healthier balance that supports their humanity and longevity in the profession.
Desire is often treated with suspicion or excess, but Scripture presents it as a good gift that reveals something essential about what it means to be human. In the Song of Songs, desire is shown as both divine and dangerous — meant to be cherished, yet requiring wisdom, patience, and proper direction. Ultimately, our deepest longings point beyond human love to a God who desires relationship with us more deeply than we imagine. Listen to this sermon as Jason Harris explores how a theology of desire helps us understand our hearts, order our loves, and rest in the one who alone can truly satisfy. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

In this episode of The Resilient Vet: Mind and Body Strategies for Success, hosts Aaron Shaw, OTR/L, CHT, CSCS, and Jennifer Edwards, DVM, ACC, CPC, ELI-MP, delve into workplace culture and the role it plays in personal well-being. They explore how the well-being of each individual contributes to the collective culture and how that culture can either support or hinder the whole team. Shaw and Edwards discuss burnout and belonging, exploring what culture truly is, why it matters, and how veterinary professionals can cultivate environments where people and pets can thrive.
The direct-to-consumer (D2C) model is expanding beyond traditional webshops and into the world of user-generated content (UGC), especially on PC and console. In this episode, host Devin Becker is joined by Liam Wiltshire, General Manager at Tebex, to explore how the evolution of private servers, mods, and community-run experiences is shaping new monetization strategies. Liam shares the origin story of Tebex and its integration within the broader Overwolf ecosystem, highlighting how D2C strategies for games like Minecraft, Rust, and Ark differ fundamentally from those in mobile gaming.The conversation covers the nuances of player relationships in D2C models, including the absence of platform payment rails and notification systems, and how that impacts engagement and monetization design. Devin and Liam also dig into emerging e-commerce strategies such as loyalty systems and upsells, and how Tebex is bringing these tools to individual creators and modders. The episode concludes with a look at industry shifts from regulatory changes to evolving platform policies, and how studios can future-proof their monetization strategies as D2C continues to grow across platforms.We'd like to thank Heroic Labs for making this episode possible!

In a culture torn between obsessing over the body and despising it, Scripture offers a healing and hopeful vision of embodied humanity. The Song of Songs affirms that our bodies are not problems to be solved but gifts to be received — created good by God, wounded by sin, yet never stripped of dignity. In Jesus, we are given a future hope in which our bodies are redeemed, restored, and made whole. Listen to this sermon as Jason Harris invites us to rediscover a theology of the body that leads from confusion to clarity and from brokenness to glory. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

Send us a textGrowth doesn't come from stacking more sheds on the lot; it comes from choosing the right model and building systems that make it work. We sat down to map how a shed business can hit a true 20% lift by aligning strategy with execution, from boutique marketing builds to smart, segmented lead funnels that guide buyers from curiosity to contract. Along the way, we break down why vertical, short‑form video wins on Reels, Shorts, and TikTok, and show how interest‑based algorithms reward clear hooks, tight loops, and real proof.We compare paths that both work: a display‑first, digital‑heavy approach using configurators, live video consultations, and fast scheduling versus a true super-lot model with deep selection and rapid delivery. The takeaway isn't either/or; it's fit and focus. Independent dealers can diversify with logical add‑ons to cover lot costs without muddying the brand, while manufacturers can back dealers with better creative, smarter funnels, and clean attribution. If you're wrestling with the dealer network question or wondering how much inventory you really need, you'll find practical ways to reduce risk and increase throughput.AI has a real role here. We share where it shines today—copy iterations, data analysis, and workflow automation—and where to keep a human hand on the wheel. Weekly consulting sprints on funnel design, monthly oversight, and a trusted partner bench help you launch systems that work on day one. Expect concrete moves: segment by use case, embed social proof, route leads intelligently, and track CPC, CPL, and CPA in one place.

“We all know that burnout in [veterinary] medicine is really kind of an epidemic,” cohost Aaron Shaw, OTR/L, CHT, CSCS, begins in this episode of The Resilient Vet: Mind and Body Strategies for Success. In this installment, Shaw and Jennifer Edwards, DVM, ACC, CPC, ELI-MP, dig into why veterinary professionals continue to struggle with burnout despite the abundance of wellness information available.According to Shaw and Edwards, addressing burnout starts with identifying an individual's true “why,” recognizing what gets in the way, and shifting from gathering information to taking action in meaningful, personalized ways.
As a new year begins, Scripture calls us to consider not just better habits but a better focus — one that anchors our lives in what truly lasts. The book of Hebrews lifts our eyes to the supremacy of Jesus, revealing him as greater than prophets, angels, and every other voice that competes for our attention. Left unattended, faith can quietly drift, but a clear vision of Christ draws us back to the greatness of the salvation he has fully accomplished. Watch this sermon as Andrew Smith invites us to pay much closer attention to Jesus, the Son who is better than all and the source of our great salvation. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

We often assume that being broken disqualifies us from love, purpose, or belonging, but Scripture tells a very different story. The Bible reveals a God who moves toward us in our weakness, naming our wounds without abandoning us and calling us beloved even when we feel most undone. True healing begins not with pretending we are whole but with trusting the one who meets us in our brokenness with grace. Listen to this sermon as Hansol Kang explores how God holds together our brokenness and belovedness, inviting us into honest faith and deeper restoration. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

Christmas can easily become sentimental, commercial, or routine, but Scripture calls us to something far deeper. The Gospel of John reveals Jesus as the promised Savior who brings light to our minds, love to our hearts, and life to our whole being — confronting our darkness with truth and grace. This is not an invitation to admire a tradition but to receive a person who forgives, heals, and restores us completely. Listen to this Christmas Eve sermon as Jason Harris proclaims how Jesus, the promised Savior, offers real hope, unconditional love, and new life that begins now and lasts forever. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

In this episode, I go over one AI news item I can't stop thinking about, one trend you can build a business around, two tools I'm using, one startup idea you should steal, and one framework to end on. I start with a leak suggesting Anthropic is productizing “agent mode” for Claude with structured task buckets and a progress/context UI. Then I use Hyrox as an example of how I validate trends quickly with search data (and what “low competition + cheap CPC + explosive growth” signals). I wrap by pitching a hotel guest-communication concierge and the “thousand people framework” for getting to clarity on your ICP and what they'll reliably pay for. Timestamps 00:00 – Intro 00:32 – AI New Item: Anthropic leak: Agent Task Mode for Claude 04:47 – Trend: Hyrox 08:59 – AI App: Krea and Notebook LLM 12:23 – Startup idea: Digital Hotel Concierge 15:59 – Framework: The “1000 People” For founders doing $50k+ MRR+: https://startup-ideas-pod.link/offline-mode Key Points Agent workflows get “productized” when the UI guides the task (not just a blank prompt box). Trend validation can be fast: look for explosive growth + low competition + cheap CPC, then ideate apps around it. NotebookLM's slide generation is an underrated workflow for turning sources into clean decks. The “Guest Guide” concept is a simple AI/QR wedge: answer repetitive hotel questions and monetize per property. The thousand-people exercise forces clarity: who exactly buys, what they pay yearly, and how you reach them. Section Summaries The Claude Agent Mode Leak I break down a leak claiming Anthropic is preparing a more structured “agent mode” for Claude, organized into buckets like research, analyze, write, and build plus choices like depth, format, and outputs. The big shift is moving from “open chat” to “delegating distinct tasks” with visibility into progress and context. Productized Prompts = Better Output I explain why a blank text box can be daunting, and why UI that scaffolds intent (validate/compare/forecast, quick vs. thorough, doc vs. slides vs. spreadsheet) can make results meaningfully better. To me, it points at a future where you “check in” on agents like teammates. Trend Hunting I use Hyrox, an indoor fitness competition that's “like the new CrossFit,” as a real example of how I sanity-check whether something is becoming a business opportunity. The workflow is simple: I see it in culture, then I go straight to Idea Browser to pull search/CPC/competition signals. Two Tools I'm Testing I call out Krea as a creative AI subscription bundling multiple models, and then I highlight NotebookLM's slide/infographic feature as the underrated part—turning a source (including transcripts) into clean, well-designed slides with strong hierarchy. Steal This: Guest Guide I pitch a hotel digital concierge that handles common guest questions via QR-code guides, priced per property with affiliate upside, and I reference Sadie as an adjacent AI hospitality product (more on calls/reservations). Then I close with the “thousand people framework”: define the real ICP, map what they'll pay yearly, and figure out distribution—because clarity is the driver.

Hosts Aaron Shaw, OTR/L, CHT, CSCS, and Jennifer Edwards, DVM, ACC, CPC, ELI-MP, discuss how physical sensations, like tension, fatigue, or even excitement, can serve as valuable tools for self-awareness, balance, and performance in and outside the clinic.
Auditing split/shared encounters can become confusing when providers, auditors, and coders are not aligned. CPT and CMS have both issued guidance to help clarify how these services should be billed. In this episode of the CodeCast podcast, Terry breaks down where to begin when auditing and educating on Split/Shared visits, what payers are currently saying, and how to maintain compliance for physicians and NPPs to prevent payer audits or confidently address them when they occur. She also gives a shout out to Sonda Kunzi, CPC, for her NAMAS article referenced during the discussion.

Generative AI has made major leaps since we last explored its use in game QA, and this episode dives into how that progress is reshaping the field. Host Devin Becker is joined again by Christoffer Holmgård and Julian Togelius, co-founders of modl.ai, to unpack how recent advances in computer vision and agent behavior are enabling fully no-code QA testing workflows. We discuss the shift from traditional code-integrated systems to screen-seeing, input-driving AI agents, and the technical breakthroughs that finally made this approach viable. The conversation also explores the types of bugs and edge cases this new method catches, and the surprising ways it differs from prior tools.The conversion also goes deeper into what this shift means for studios. Julian and Christoffer highlight how QA roles are evolving when testers can direct powerful AI agents without needing engineering resources. They also examine the line between automation and augmentation, arguing for the enduring value of human testers while outlining where AI can dramatically improve speed, coverage, and reporting. From auto-generating reproduction steps to fitting into broader ecosystems of AI coworkers, this episode offers a grounded, forward-looking take on how AI is transforming QA from the inside out.Previous episode with Modl.ai: https://naavik.co/podcast/ai-powered-quality-assurance/We'd like to thank Heroic Labs for making this episode possible!

We're closing out the year with our final podcast of 2025, looking back at the biggest stories and revisiting the predictions we made at the start of the year. How did we do? 2025 delivered volatility and plenty of surprises, along with a long list of developments with real consequences for energy, both clean energy and traditional oil and gas. We cover major policy shifts, including the election of the Mark Carney Liberals in Canada, the introduction of Bill C-5, the launch of the Major Projects Office, the Ottawa–Alberta Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), and growing political support for LNG. We also review changes in the United States, including tariffs and the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB), which rolled back many of America's generous clean energy subsidies. Another recurring theme this year was the surge in expectations for AI data center electricity demand—including in Canada, where three proposed projects in Alberta are moving closer to a final investment decision.It's been a whirlwind year. Jackie and Peter wish everyone a wonderful holiday break, and we'll return in 2026.Content referenced in this podcast: The Hub.ca, Have we really hit peak oil?

Should You Use Amazon's Suggested Bids in Amazon PPC, or are they just a trap to spike your CPC and ACOS?In this Amazon PPC deep dive, we break down what Amazon's suggested bids really mean, how they're calculated, and when you should ignore them.You'll see how a $0.75 bid can still turn into $3 - 4 clicks, how max potential CPC works, and how to build a safer Amazon PPC bidding strategy around your own targets instead of Amazon's hints.We also tackle exact match vs "exact intent", why one bad search term can kill a whole keyword when you negative it, and how to avoid nuking good traffic.If you care about bid optimization, ACOS control, and understanding Amazon suggested bids like a pro, this episode is for you.
In this podcast, we spoke with Troy Ostreng, Senior Product Manager and David Burdge, Director of Cell and Gene Therapy at CPC about the development of the MicroCNX® aseptic micro-connectors and how they're helping biopharma teams streamline closed-system operations for cell and gene therapies. What unfolded was a detailed and forward-looking conversation that touched on CPC's 47-year legacy, the technical demands of advanced therapies, and the company's plans to drive the future of automation and sterility in manufacturing. A Legacy That Positioned CPC for Today's Advanced Therapy Boom When asked how CPC's long history in biologics and hospital environments prepared the company for today's cell and gene therapy landscape, David took us back to CPC's roots. “CPC was founded in 1978, so that's 47 years of innovation within connection technologies,” he said. “The first biologic was released in 1982, synthetic insulin, and we were there supporting the industry with open-format connectors on single-use bags.” From the early development of biologics through the shift to single-use and the rise of stainless-steel/single-use hybrid systems, CPC continuously evolved its connection technologies. They launched steam-through connectors as bioprocessing grew more complex, released their first aseptic connector in 2009, and introduced their first connector specifically targeted for the cell and gene therapy market in 2017. David explained how that history matters today: “Biologics has about a 35-year head start on advanced therapies. So the question becomes, what lessons can we transfer from biologics to cell and gene therapy as that industry grows at three to four times the rate biologics did in its first decade?” That perspective, combining biological manufacturing experience with the needs of new therapy modalities, forms the foundation for CPC's MicroCNX platform. MicroCNX: The First Aseptic Connector Built for Small-Format Tubing As cell and gene therapy developers began scaling up manufacturing, they quickly discovered a problem: the connectors used for biologics were not designed for small-volume, patient-specific therapies. Troy described it plainly: “Several years ago, we started hearing rumblings that current connectors weren't meeting what cell and gene therapy required.” CPC responded with a deep Voice of Customer (VOC) initiative, interviewing process engineers, operators, manufacturing leaders, and platform developers. Over and over, the same needs emerged. Operators wanted something simple. “Ease of use was the number one requirement,” Troy said. “Operators needed a product that was easy to use so they could make sterile connections in a short amount of time.” Processes demanded robustness. “Customers needed a connection they could trust—no contamination, no failures, no weak spots in the connection process,” he added. Small-volume precise applications required connectors actually designed for them. With autologous therapies, he noted, “We aren't talking about 1,000 liters; we're talking about 250 milliliters. And if there's a mishap, that could mean the difference between life and death for a patient.” All of this laid the groundwork for MicroCNX, which became the first aseptic connector engineered for small-format tubing. The “Pinch-Click-Pull” Process: Sterility Meets Speed One of the standout features of MicroCNX is its elegantly simple pinch-click-pull operation. Troy explained how simplicity came directly from user feedback. “As operators walked us through their pain points, what they needed was clear: a connector they could learn immediately. So MicroCNX has a three-step process—pinch, click, pull. You can literally do it as fast as I say it.” He continued,“Once someone does it one time, they're basically an expert. That ease of use dramatically reduces operator error.” For an industry where operator variability remains one of the biggest sources of risk and batch loss, eliminating complexity is critical. Cryogenic Challenges Call for Cryo-Rated Solutions As the conversation shifted to cryopreservation, a critical component of cell therapy manufacturing,Troy introduced the MicroCNX® ULT and MicroCNX® Nano variants. “These were really developed because therapies were being frozen to –150°C, even –190°C. You need a connector that can be frozen to those temperatures, thawed, and still be as robust as it was before.” The ULT and Nano were engineered with: Low-profile geometries to fit inside freezing cassettes Specialized materials to withstand thermal stress Chemical compatibility with DMSO and other cryoprotectants Enhanced durability to survive impacts while frozen Troy emphasized how critical it was to get the materials right: “We searched extensively for a material that could handle those harsh chemicals and temperatures. What we landed on was PPSU—polyphenylsulfone. It's chemically sound, and it's incredibly impact-resistant at very low temperatures.” CPC built these connectors because customers repeatedly told them: existing solutions were cracking, leaking, or becoming brittle. MicroCNX was engineered to overcome all of that. True Closed Systems vs. Functionally Closed Systems: Why the Difference Matters A substantial part of the conversation focused on the differences between closed, functionally closed, and open systems—distinctions that are often overlooked but critically important. Troy broke down the differences clearly: “An open system is exposed at some point. A functionally closed system is inherently open but gets closed temporarily to let fluid transfer. In comparison, a closed system is never open at any point.” Examples of functionally closed systems include: Biosafety cabinets (BSCs) Luer-based connections Closed system transfer devices These approaches require: Sanitization Careful environmental controls Operator expertise And, as Troy noted, “a mishap in one of these can mean losing a very valuable therapy.” CPC's sterile connectors—including MicroCNX minimize these risks: “Our connectors allow the system to remain closed 100% of the time. That greatly reduces contamination risk.” This distinction isn't merely academic—it has direct regulatory implications as well. David added,“In Annex 1, they refer to intrinsically sterile connection devices—like sterile connectors and tube welders—that allow operations normally requiring Grade A or B to occur in a Grade C or D environment.” That ability to operate safely in lower-grade spaces is increasingly critical as the industry tries to overcome facility and labor bottlenecks. Why Teams Are Moving Away from Tube Welding Tube welding has been part of bioprocessing for decades, but David explained why its era may be ending for CGT. “Tube welding was born out of the blood banking industry when no other solution existed. But sterile connectors don't require capital investment. They're faster. They eliminate issues like tubing alignment or pinhole leaks. They're simply more reliable.” As biologics manufacturers have already done, CGT teams are now transitioning toward connectors like MicroCNX® that provide sterile, consistent, low-burden operations. The MicroCNX® Luer Variant: Supporting Transitional Workflows Not all workflows are ready to move away from luer-based devices. That's where the MicroCNX Luer variant fits in. Troy described how it works.“You connect a syringe or bag with a luer inside the BSC, but then because the MicroCNX® connector itself is sterile, you can take it outside the hood and make a sterile connection elsewhere.” This capability bridges legacy workflows and fully closed systems—critical during process development, technology transfer, or when working with specific devices. Co-Development: The Heart of CPC's Innovation Process As the conversation returned to CPC's broader philosophy, David highlighted how important customer collaboration is. “It's all about the customer for CPC,” he said. “We start with Voice of Customer. Our business and applications managers are out in the field understanding real applications and guiding them to the right products.” This feedback fuels CPC's two major development tracks: Catalog product development (platforms like MicroCNX) Custom-engineered solutions for unique applications David added: “We maintain a full new product introduction roadmap. Some products will be released broadly. Others will be developed specifically for one customer. But both are driven by real application requirements.” This process ensures CPC's products evolve in lockstep with the needs of advanced therapy teams. Looking Ahead: Designing Connectors for Robotics and Automation Toward the end of the conversation, David turned to one of CPC's biggest focus areas: the future of automation. “The ultimate customer in this industry is the patient,” he said. “And right now we face barriers—capacity, speed, accessibility, cost. Process automation can significantly reduce those barriers.” Automation requires connectors designed not just for human hands but for robotics: Predictable geometries Features optimized for machine vision Forces and actuation steps compatible with robotic grippers Designs intended for automated loading and unloading David summarized CPC's future direction: “We're taking a fresh look at our connectors, reimagining them as something designed for robotic manipulation. It's a high priority for us.” Troy echoed the sentiment: “Our connectors are awesomely designed for humans. But automation is coming, and we're focused on the features robots need.” A Future Built on Innovation and Patient Impact The interview closed with both guests reflecting on CPC's mission. “We're incredibly passionate about innovation and meeting the needs of our customers through thoughtful product development,” Troy said.

God’s call to Abraham reveals a radically new way of being human — one rooted not in self-made identity or manufactured greatness, but in God’s gracious initiative. In a world where our circumstances often leave us longing for a different kind of life, Scripture shows that God still breaks into our darkness with a promise that reshapes everything. At the center of that promise stands Jesus, the true Seed and true Home, through whom all the families of the earth are blessed. Listen to this sermon as Jason Harris unfolds how God’s ancient promise to Abraham finds its fulfillment in Christ and is offered to us today. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

Send us a textI had the honor of hosting a long-time mentor and friend, Robert Larson, CPC. Bob's journey is one I've followed since the start of my first business, and he even inspired my own early yoga practice by bringing his personal interests into the workplace.The episode is less about business growth and more about personal resilience and the powerful difference between working on your business versus in it; and ultimately, working on yourself.From Bicycle Messengers to Boutique PracticeBob's career spans decades, starting when résumés were shuttled by bicycle messengers and a portable fax machine cost $4,500. He built a large, successful staffing firm. However, as the conversation reveals, he deliberately chose to downsize a few years ago.He found that running a large operation meant working on the business. Downsizing allowed him to return to the craft, the hands-on work of interviewing and placement, and find fulfillment, proving that the work is more fulfilling.The Catastrophic Gift of LifeBob's most compelling story is about the massive health crisis he faced over 20 years ago that put him on life support, reshaping his outlook on life, work, and gratitude.He discusses how his decades-long practices in silent meditation and Bikram (hot) yoga became his lifeline. When he woke up on a respirator, he used the machine's rhythm to perform Ujjayi breathing meditation. As his sister-in-law wisely noted, he "trained his entire life for these illnesses." Now, at 75, he embodies reinvention and acceptance, trading marathons for chair yoga, and viewing every physical challenge as a teaching moment.The Core Takeaway: Find Your DNALife comes with no warranties or guarantees. Bob's advice on career and contentment is simple yet revolutionary: find what is in your DNA and what you love to do, and the money will follow. His perspective on career fulfillment, the necessity of personal practice, and the struggle to stay in the present moment is a powerful reminder that awareness is the practice, and coming back to stillness is the key to clarity."If a person does what they love, the money follows because they rise to the top of what they're doing." — Robert Larson, CPCListen to the Full ConversationDon't miss Bob's incredible story of resilience and his profound advice on living an aware and grateful life.Books, Websites, and Resources MentionedWe always highlight the resources mentioned by our guests so you can follow their lead.Substack: You can follow Bob Larson's active daily blog and get a peek into his daily practice of gratitude and awarenessA Book for Letting Go: Let Them by Mel RobbinsThe Business Essential: The E-Myth Revisited by Michael E.

But every so often, you stumble upon a single conversation that cuts through it all.That's what happened to me during a one-hour Clubhouse talk on "Zip Code Marketing 2.0." Favour shared a series of potent, surprising, and immediately actionable insights that challenge the 'more is more' gospel of content marketing and the 'gamble' of paid ads, offering a refreshingly precise alternative. The talk covered both foundational tactics for local businesses and a stunning look into the future of hyper-local advertising. Here are the five secrets I learned.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Next Steps for Digital Marketing + SEO Services:>> Need SEO Services?

This case study proves that with the right strategy, it can be shockingly fast.Favour shared the story of a client selling a "prayer box for busy moms". By researching the competition, they discovered the niche had been neglected for years. After making a few strategic tweaks to the website, the client started getting sales directly from their Google link in less than 24 hours.The real insight wasn't just finding a low-competition keyword; it was understanding the customer's specific behavior. The sales came in at 6 a.m. and 2 a.m.—times when busy moms could find a quiet moment before their day began. This hyper-specific understanding of when and why a customer searches is more powerful than a hundred generic blog posts. It's the direct result of putting research before action.SEO is not just blog, blog, blog, blog. Like there there has to be some reasoning behind it.The lesson: your fastest path to profit might not be broad appeal, but a laser-focused solution for a neglected niche whose buying habits you can pinpoint to the hour.Takeaway #2: The Golden Rule of Ad Spend Is About Time, Not MoneyFor many businesses, running paid ads feels like gambling. You put money in and hope for the best. The speaker offered a simple, powerful principle to completely reframe this approach.Do not spend a dollar on ads if you've not spent a second on research.The logic is undeniable: running ads to a market that already needs and is searching for your product is infinitely more effective than trying to create demand from scratch. True success in advertising doesn't start with a campaign; it starts with research and development (R&D) to find the perfect market fit. Stop treating your ad budget like a slot machine and start treating it as the final step in a rigorous R&D process.Takeaway #3: Every Online Sale Is a Treasure Map (And X Marks the Zip Code)This point was so simple it was brilliant. Every single time you make an online sale—whether through Shopify, Squarespace, or Stripe—you collect a crucial piece of data: the customer's zip code.This isn't just logistical information for shipping. It's a treasure map. That zip code is a clear, unambiguous signal telling you exactly where your audience lives. The speaker used a perfect analogy: you should be selling jackets to people in cold zip codes and t-shirts to those who don't need jackets. It sounds obvious, but how many businesses ignore this data and market their "jackets" to everyone, everywhere? This means your most valuable marketing asset isn't a new ad campaign; it's a spreadsheet of your top 10 customer zip codes and a plan to dominate them.Takeaway #4: Paid Ads Aren't the Enemy of SEO—They're "Accelerated SEO"Once you've used your sales data to identify your "treasure map" of high-value zip codes, the next step isn't just organic—it's what the speaker calls "Accelerated SEO."The age-old debate of "Paid vs. Organic" is a false choice. The speaker reframed paid advertising not as a competitor to SEO, but as a faster way to own the keywords that matter in the places that matter. To prove the point, they shared an experiment: a simple $5/day Facebook ad campaign. By targeting only the specific zip codes with proven search interest, the results were incredible. The cost-per-click (CPC), which started around 30 cents, steadily dropped to 14 cents, and in some cases, as low as 9 cents.This dramatic cost reduction happens because by targeting only zip codes with proven, active search interest, the ad's relevance score skyrockets. Platforms like Facebook reward this high relevance with significantly lower costs, eliminating wasted spend on uninterested audiences.Takeaway #5: Zip Code Marketing 2.0 Is Taking Over Local TV and BillboardsThis was the most forward-looking secret of the entire talk. The "2.0" in the title isn't just about optimizing search and social—it's about applying zip code precision to channels once reserved for national brands: Connected TV and digital billboards.Favour explained that it's now possible to run ads on platforms like Peacock, Netflix, and various sports channels targeted only to viewers in specific zip codes. Imagine a local business running a TV commercial that's only seen by households in their most profitable neighborhoods. Or, consider the strategy of running ads on digital billboards within the zip code of a major conference, reaching every attendee during their downtime without having to be there physically. This is the future of local marketing—using data to show up on the biggest screens, but only for the exact audience that matters.Conclusion: From Local Champion to Global ContenderThe core theme was that effective marketing isn't about shouting the loudest; it's about deep research and showing up precisely where and when your audience needs you. Whether it's analyzing the 2 a.m. shopping habits of a busy mom or targeting a TV ad to a single zip code, the data to win is already at your fingertips.As Favour powerfully stated, "You can't be a global champion if you're not a local champion." Success starts by dominating your specific market first. Before you try to conquer the world, you have to win your neighborhood.It leaves one final, crucial question for all of us: What hidden data is your business already collecting that could unlock your next breakthrough?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
