A few weeks ago Andrew Huberman announced that he had partnered with the sports and eyewear company Roka. Together they've put out a specially branded blue-blocking glasses that are designed to help you wind down and get better sleep at night. If that sounds weird to you, you're not alone. Over the years Huberman, who a professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology, has repeatedly said that that he didn't believe that blue blocking classes did all that much. Was it possible that a giant financial windfall could have changed his mind on settled science? It's not totally surprising that leading influencers might themselves be influenced by tidal wave amounts of cash. As @TaylorLorenz mentions, we've always doctors on industry payrolls shilling everything from sugar to cigarettes. What's new is that social media engenders para-social relationships with specific influencers whose own opinions, protocols and prognostications tend towards cult-like power over their followers. With more than 15 million combined followers across his social media accounts, Andrew Huberman is likely the most powerful scientific voice on the planet. So when he says something is settled science and then changes his mind for a cash grab, it undermines the public faith in information writ-large.It's just one small step from trusting to untrusting Huberman to someone trusting and then untrusting scientific explanations from anyone. (Incidentally, Benn Jordan just did a great piece on misinformation and explicit propaganda that shows how global powers capitalize on the general distrust of authorities).The thing that I find hardest to understand about Huberman's most recent grift is now that it happened, but why he would need money at all. What motivates his endless greed when it comes at the expense of his integrity? Stanford professors of his caliber make about $250,000 according to Glassdoor.com. That's a pretty solid amount of money all on its own. YouTube ads run automatically and pay about $5.50 per thousand views with what amounts to a strict firewall between his editorial content and the sponsor's demands. (THIS NEXT SENTENCE CONTAINS AN ERROR, PLEASE SEE THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH) Given that he has 365 million views on his channel, it's a simple calculation to figure out that he is bringing in about $7M a year from adsense alone. That means he's already making 28 times his ordinary salary without the need for any ethical compromises on his part. All told, the Huberman Lab podcast has generated at least $20 million over the course of its three year run to date. (CORRECTION THIS PREVIOUS PARAGRAPH CONTAINS AN ERROR: @hubermanlab I calculated that Huberman made $20M on YouTube ads based on his 365M combined views which make around $5.50 CPM. My math was seriously off. The true total would have been only $2M from ad sense. So instead of making 28x the standard Stanford salary, he only was making 3x. I regret the error and will issue a video correction)That's an unfathomable, wasteful and frankly obscene, amount of money from my perspective. Even so, Huberman didn't think that it was enough. The Roka deal will likely give Huberman a sizable payment of $1-2 million over its lifetime. Meanwhile, He has a further 13 paid sponsors on his show which, we can guess net him another $6 million (actually, just $600,000) or so a year. That mindset is what's fundamentally broken with the information universe we live in. Instead of being an upstanding credible vehicle for science, Huberman made the, probably unconscious, decision that money was the most important metric for success. The only silver lining here is that at least we can document exactly when and where he changed his mind on science.I hope that you enjoy the video.

A bag of popcorn, a few movie-theater secrets, and then the big pivot: what actually makes math materials high quality. We invited Bridget Gunn and Dan Henderson to help us pull HQIM out of acronym-land and into real classrooms, where teachers need time, students need voice, and everyone needs coherence. The result is a candid, practical tour of how curriculum design can elevate thinking without burying teachers in prep.We break down five components that anchor equitable, engaging teaching—planning around big ideas, open and engaging tasks, student questions and conjectures, reasoning and justification, and teaching toward social justice—and show what they look like day to day. Bridget and Dan explain why “good” materials aren't enough, how high quality design anticipates student strategies, and where author notes, sample questions, and team routines give you the support to listen, probe, and connect ideas. We dig into full-stack lesson arcs that start with experience and grow toward generalization, so students build concepts instead of memorizing steps.You'll hear how routines like rough draft talk shift authority to students, and why simple moves—like a quick door question—can spark belonging that pays off in mathematical risk-taking. We also share adoption advice: look past checklists and ask whether a program centers student thinking, connects concepts across units and grades, and gives practical facilitation cues that free your attention for what matters.Come for the corn puns, stay for the concrete ways HQIM can transform your classroom culture. If this conversation resonates, follow the show, share it with a colleague, and leave a review telling us which “big idea” you want to see woven through your course next.Send Joel and Misty a message!The More Math for More People Podcast is produced by CPM Educational Program.

In this episode, Brandon Pierpont goes beyond ad tactics and shows painting contractors how to turn attention into revenue. Live from PCA's Women in Paint, he breaks down winning Meta ads (CPM, conversion, creative that drives engagement), the “micro-sales” inside your sales process (speed-to-lead, pre-estimate value, selfie confirmations), and the review, referral, and neighborhood-take-rate plays that compound ROI. Practical, no-fluff steps to lower CPL, raise close rates, and build a profitable growth engine.
Factual isn't standing still - and this panel proves it. Recorded live at the TellyCast Digital Content Forum, this conversation digs into how the factual genre is being rebuilt for a digital-first world. Lucy Smith hosts a sharp, unsentimental discussion with Gerrit Kemming (Quintus Studios), Marvyn Benoit (Baker's Dozen Studios) and Jamie McDonald (After Party Studios) about who really owns value in today's market: the audience-holders or the IP-holders.They unpack how social video has reshaped commissioning logic, why audience ownership is now the most powerful currency in factual, and how creators are becoming new-age broadcasters. The panel gets into hybrid funding models, co-ownership of IP, rapid-cycle development, YouTube economics, CPM realities, danger-led factual, testing formats on social platforms, and the rise of patchwork financing. This is a clear-eyed look at the future: faster turnarounds, collaborative models, creator-talent partnerships, and a factual economy where anyone with audience can commission.If you want to understand where factual formats are heading - and how digital-first production companies are finding new routes to money, scale and global reach - this session is required listening.Sign up for The Drop newsletter Support the showSubscribe to the TellyCast YouTube channel for exclusive TV industry videosFollow us on LinkedInConnect with Justin on LinkedINTellyCast videos on YouTubeTellyCast websiteTellyCast instaTellyCast TwitterTellyCast TikTok

This week, Newslaundry's Abhinandan Sekhri, Jayashree Arunachalam and Shardool Katyayan are joined by journalist and author Rahul Pandita and The News Minute's Sudipto Mondal.The discussion begins with Rahul's new novel, Our Friends in Good Houses, and then turns to the recent killing of Maoist commander Madvi Hidma in Andhra Pradesh.Rahul recalls meeting the man who recruited Hidma as a child. He then talks about the “tragedy” of the Maoists and the banned Communist Party of India (Maoist). “One reason why we are witnessing this downfall now of the CPM office is that this somehow, in the passage of this time, steered away from what they had set out to do, which is to basically protect the adivasis and their natural resources. But during this course, I think they became obsessive about fighting the state…and became, in their own ways, stakeholders in these natural resources. That is the tragedy of the CPM.”Sudipto says, “The worst part about the Maoist movement is that it follows one basic principle of armed conflict, which is that the people sending people to war are old men. The people going to war are young boys."The conversation then moves to the Red Fort blasts. Abhinandan asks the panel about the video of a key suspect in the case justifying suicide attacks, seeking their views on whether airing such footage is irresponsible or journalistically necessary.This and a lot more.

Start with a name and you get a story. We kick off with Latvian Independence Day and our colleague, Astrida Lizins, whose Latvian name, family roots, and community traditions open a window into how culture survives and thrives far from home. From Saturday language schools and summer camps to folk dance sets and dense rye bread, we explore how rituals and food build belonging—and why that matters when we think about classrooms.That bridge takes us to timely news from California's curriculum adoption (CPM is on the list!) and a bigger conversation about high-quality instructional materials with our executive director, Rafael del Castillo. We compare research-based claims with evidence gathered by real teachers, and we unpack a clever “shopping guide” from a recent NCTM conference: Are frameworks empowering educators to ask better questions, or inviting polished talking points that dodge substance? Our take centers teacher voice and professional judgment while acknowledging the real pressures on time, attention, and support.Assessment and technology become the crucible where values show up. We wrestle with efficiency versus understanding, the limits of Scantron-era shortcuts, and where modern AI can help without hollowing out the work. Instead of outsourcing thinking, we propose smarter feedback loops, more student self-assessment, and classroom routines that make space for curiosity. Along the way, we reframe “grade level,” embrace heterogeneous classes as the norm, and borrow early childhood wisdom: arrive with wonder, meet the learner in front of you, and build the dance together.If this conversation resonates, follow the show, share it with a colleague, and leave a review with one insight you're taking back to your classroom.

Hey everyone, it's Dave Jackson from the School of Podcasting! In today's episode, I sit down with Heidi Kay Begay from Red House Productions (website: redhouseproductions.net) to discuss how you don't need a massive audience to start monetizing your podcast. She reveals practical and inspiring strategies to pitch your value and land meaningful brand relationships, even when your show is still growing.Key Points & TakeawaysYou Don't Need Huge Download Numbers: Heidi Kay Begay shares how she started pitching to sponsors around episode 30 of her niche show, Flute360, and landed deals despite having a small audience.Mindset Shift: Treating your podcast like a business is crucial. I loved Heidi's “corn and wheat” metaphor—don't expect business results if you're just planting hobby seeds!Pitching Sponsors: Heidi describes reaching out directly to music-branded companies—flute makers, apparel, gadgets—and focusing on how to create a win/win relationship from day one. She didn't let her lack of experience or nerves stop her!Focus on Value Over Numbers: Rather than falling for CPM (cost per mille) models, Heidi looked at what brands spend for visibility in her industry—conference booths, event program ads, etc.—and built sponsorship packages (bronze, silver, gold) that reflected that value.Partnership, Not Just Ad Reads: Heidi emphasizes listening to a sponsor's specific goals and showing genuine interest in their needs, often including interview opportunities and co-promotions to make the partnership more meaningful.Negotiation is Key: Most deals aren't signed after one email. Expect lots of back and forth, and be ready to listen and adjust your offer. Don't feel you need everything perfect before you start the conversation.Pricing Sponsorships: Heidi recommends considering not only downloads but also your total digital presence—social media, mailing list, engagement rates, speaking appearances, etc. Sponsors look at much more than just podcast stats.Campaign Tracking & Follow-Up: Not all sponsors require detailed post-campaign stats. Some are satisfied knowing their brand was featured; others want custom URLs to track results. Being organized and professional goes a long way.Dealing with Rejection: Both Heidi and I agree—a “no” today could be a “yes” later. Don't burn bridges, rejection is often just “not now.”AI Music Tools: I shared my experience using Suno (suno.ai), an AI music creation platform, to generate podcast outro music. If you use paid tiers, you own the commercial rights (worth checking out, especially if you need affordable, legal music for your show).Check out Heidi's Course on Monetization.Websites Mentionedredhouseproductions.net – Heidi's podcast production/consulting hub.schoolofpodcasting.com – My site for podcast coaching, resources, and community.suno.ai – AI music creation platform.horseradionetwork.com – Referenced for creative sponsorship strategies.

In today's fast-paced advertising world, it's more important than ever to connect your advertising spend to actual sales growth. In this episode, Rick Ducey, Managing Director of BIA, and Senan Mele, VP of Forecasting and Data Analysis, welcome Jay Loeffler, Chief Sales Officer at Valpak. Together, they explore how data-driven planning is revolutionizing local advertising, providing a single source of intelligence that makes ad buying smarter. If rapid advertising growth is on your radar, you'll want to tune in—this conversation provides a roadmap. Here are some highlights from the discussion: The advertising landscape is shifting from traditional CPM to effective CPM, which focuses on cost after cutting out the waste. Jay shares an interesting case study about a garage door brand that saw a sevenfold increase in engagement by strategically targeting single-family homes with tailored offers. Jay emphasizes the enduring role of linear TV, alongside the growth of connected TV and digital out-of-home advertising. Additionally, Jay explains how small businesses can leverage aggregated data to gain better insights and develop more effective marketing strategies. Senan shares BIA's forecast for 2026, highlighting flexible budgeting, the shift from upfront media buys to backloading strategies, and the importance of incorporating non-digital touchpoints. The podcast concludes with a strategic guide: share CRM data with trusted partners, establish a weekly optimization schedule, use effective CPM as your planning metric, and develop a multi-channel strategy that enhances the entire customer journey, not just the final click.

What if “common sense” isn't universal at all—but learned, personal, and shaped by context? Joel and Misty begin with their typical philosophical investigation of the national day. This time it's "Use Your Common Sense" Day. That reframing sets the stage for a lively conversation with our colleagues Bri Ruiz and Adam Varnes as they launch Sum Shenanigans, a new CPM social series built to deliver practical math‑teaching strategies right where you already scroll.We dig into the why behind the project: teachers don't need more theory in abstract; they need clear, adaptable moves they can try tomorrow. Sum Shenanigans pairs long‑form YouTube conversations with quick Instagram reels, so you can choose depth or speed based on your day. The first topics hit two of the biggest challenges in student‑centered classrooms—pacing and collaborative learning. We unpack how to prioritize essential ideas, plan checkpoints, and protect thinking time, then shift to group routines, roles, and talk moves that lift more voices without losing mathematical focus.From there, we preview upcoming episodes on supporting multilingual learners, working with students with exceptionalities, and sharpening core practices like formative assessment, circulating, and questioning. Bree and Adam keep the tone grounded and human—they're not presenting as the final word, but as reflective practitioners sharing what's worked, what hasn't, and what they're still testing. That openness is the point: we want to spark a wider conversation so teachers can add their own approaches, surface real‑world constraints, and co‑create better solutions.Ready to jump in? Watch the long versions on YouTube, catch the bite‑size tips on Instagram, and tell us what you want next. Subscribe, share with a colleague, and drop a comment with your biggest classroom challenge—what should we tackle together?To celebrate our launch, we have posted our first two episodes on YouTube, Supporting Study Teams and Pacing.

Send us a textIn this episode we interview Katrine Rasmussen, a B2B marketer at fashion-tech company Pixelz. She shares a practical playbook for reaching enterprise buyers on LinkedIn with precision and credibility.What you'll learn in this episode:How to build ABM audiences on LinkedIn by combining target companies with exact job titles and locations—then keep them tight around the 300-person minimum for control and relevance.Why “thought leadership ads” outperform company-page ads on CPC and CPM, and how their native look boosts trust with enterprise stakeholders.A repeatable six-month cadence with sales: pick 10–20 priority accounts per rep, map stakeholders and pain points, and align content to each stage of the deal.How to seed a ready-to-post content library for reps (evergreen and timely), use light ghostwriting, and nudge consistent posting without burning the team.Ways to run ultra-narrow campaigns for a single strategic account when you know the pain point (e.g., ESG, pricing, or workflow).Smart calls to action: keep most posts educational and link-free for reach; reserve links for webinars and events—not “book a demo.”Practical measurement: track impressions and clicks with attribution tools so brand exposure still shows up in pipeline, not just last-click.

Billboards at $0.75 CPM. Streaming TV you can actually measure. Tim Rowe breaks down how to blend OOH + CTV to drop blended CAC, spark geo-lift, and build “living-room” brand equity—without massive budgets.Streaming has turned TV into a performance channel you can buy, cap, and measure like digital—often at CPMs rivaling or beating social. Tim explains how their ad server + pixel connect living-room exposure to down-funnel actions, with many brands seeing $3–$4 cost per visit and 3–4× higher conversion vs other traffic sources. On OOH, the overlooked arbitrage is static or digital boards priced like real estate: win by buying the biggest formats in the largest markets at the lowest biddable entry price, then engineer earned media (social virality) and geo-lift. Start with ~$5k for a real CTV test (smaller tests can still work as an add-on), measure blended CAC, branded search, and market-level lift, and let creative—not hyper-granular targeting—do the heavy lifting.GuestWebsite: https://cognitionads.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/troweactualX (Twitter): https://x.com/oohinsiderTim's newsletter/resource hub: https://stateofstreaming.com/What You'll LearnWhy streaming made TV relevant again—and cheap ($1–$2 CPMs in some geos).How to attribute TV exposure → search → site visit → purchase within a 48-hour view-through window.The out-of-home (OOH) arbitrage: buying big signs in big markets for sub-$1 CPMs.How OOH + CTV lower blended CAC and lift branded search in target geographies.Practical first tests: budgets, pixels, frequency caps, creative, and geo measurement.Event playbooks: digital billboard trucks, rideshare screens, street teams, and QR flows.Targeting reality: on CTV, less targeting often wins—use creative as the filter.Retargeting on TV (yes): pixel site traffic and follow with CTV/audio/display.Timestamps & Chapters00:00 — Why TV is “back”: streaming CPMs and geo-targeted buys01:30 — Direct attribution: 48-hour view-through from TV → search → site → purchase03:45 — OOH primer: static vs digital, programmatic buys, and PMP tips06:05 — The arbitrage: big boards, big markets, tiny CPMs (often

Ep. 21 | Bridging worlds, the CNM and CPM journey of Kerry Dixon by Sofia Scheuerman
What if a few simple shifts could turn your math class into a place where more students talk, think, and truly learn? We start with our usual celebration of the "day of" by tipping our hats to Ada Lovelace. Then we ask the PL Team to share some of their "themes of support" that come up as they work with teachers during the beginning part of the year. The struggles and challenges that they face and some of the advice or suggestions that they share with these teachers. Hear about what “enough practice” really means and why demanding fluency too soon backfires. You'll hear how three-before-me and a strong Resource Manager cut down on the teacher traffic jam, and how behavior management gets easier when tasks are collaborative, non-routine, and designed with easy entry points. Our PL specialists share practical frameworks for keeping students engaged from bell to bell, plus the reflective questions that elevate planning: Are students collaborating? Will they share work publicly? Do they know how to begin?Then we go classroom-deep with an update from our Join Them on Their Journey teachers. Jessie talks about her experiment with daily randomized groups reduced off-task talk and amplified math voices that had been quiet for weeks, while Chi redesigned assessment to include a fast correction cycle using targeted indicators instead of immediate scores. If you're ready to boost fluency without sacrificing sense-making—and build a classroom culture where every student sees themselves as a math learner—press play.

Most founders think ads are the only scalable way to grow. They aren't. Aiden shows how outbound, done right, can outperform paid social—no algorithms, no ad bans, no CPM spikes. The secret isn't “more hustle.” It's smarter tech: parallel dialing that filters bad data, avoids spam flags, and connects live calls 10x faster.We trace the fall of traditional cold calls (three live connections per hundred dials), the rise of AI limits under TCPA, and why Facebook ads have quietly become a treadmill of copy rewrites, rising costs, and bot clicks. Aiden's model flips the script—less burn, more control, and measurable consistency.Even more surprising: the next generation of inside sales agents aren't in Silicon Valley—they're Egyptian lawyers earning more cold-calling than in law. Global leverage meets old-school grit.This isn't nostalgia for boiler rooms. It's data-driven, tech-enabled human connection.TL;DR* “Cold calling is dead” is a myth—it just evolved with smarter tools.* Parallel dialers reach 700–800 numbers/hour with adaptive line control.* Real cost advantage: your time + dialer fee vs $10K ad testing cycles.* AI callers are banned under TCPA—human voice still wins trust.* Best ROI: trained inside sales agents + verified mobile data = predictable leads.* Bonus: outbound also builds partnerships, not just direct sales.Memorable lines“Cold calling isn't dead—it's just been automated, filtered, and reborn.”“You can't out-ad Facebook's algorithm, but you can out-call your competition.”“Consistency beats creativity when your pipeline depends on people.”“AI can't legally sell for you—but real humans still can.”GuestAiden Sowa — Founder & CEO of Zoto Dialer, building next-gen multi-dialing systems that balance pickup rate, compliance, and speed for sales teams worldwide.LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aidansowa/Website: https://www.zotodialer.co/Why this mattersScaling isn't about finding the next hack—it's about control.Cold calling 2.0 delivers what ads can't: consistent reach, predictable costs, and direct conversations that build trust faster than clicks. If inbound is chaos, outbound is the discipline that steadies growth.Call to ActionIf this conversation lit something up for you, don't just let it fade.

In this no-bullshido episode, Adam Hoots chops it up with Mississippi's own Boone White, a farm-raised boy, Christ‑follower, husband, dad of three, and unapologetic agitator for change. He is a General Superintendent with ICM Construction in Oxford, Mississippi. Boone traces his path from the old “yell‑and‑cuss” era to a worker-first approach powered by Last Planner, Takt, and disciplined make-ready planning. From Houston to Mississippi, he breaks down how humility and curiosity, not just grit, unlock flow, safety, and calmer, more predictable jobs. The duo tackles integrating CPM/Takt/Last Planner, empowering trades to innovate, training the next wave of supers, and focusing on the real constraint: human-centered leadership. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Grit isn't a strategy; when paired with humility and curiosity, we can design a better workflow. CPM, Takt, and Last Planner can (and should) work together to plan for flow. The top constraint is leadership capacity: developing people, not just schedules. Celebrate field-driven improvements—innovation snowballs when it's recognized. Safer, cleaner, clearer sites = respect for people and better project outcomes. KEY QUOTES: “Grit gets you started; humility and curiosity get you flow.” “When trades own the plan, safety and predictability show up.” “CPM, Takt, and Last Planner aren't rivals—they're instruments in the same orchestra.” “Clean, calm, and clear is what respect for people looks like in the field.” RESOURCE LINKS MENTIONED: The Lean Builder | www.theleanbuilder.com | Blog, book, resources, and a hub for the lean construction community.

What if the future of math education blends joy, rigor, and teacher voice—with professional learning that meets educators where they are? We open with a lighthearted celebration of International Podcast Day and a look back at how radio paved the way for the on‑demand world. Then we sit down with former CPM executive director Elizabeth Coyner to trace her path from a small farm town classroom to leading a national organization through rapid growth, year‑round curriculum writing, and a seismic pivot to hybrid professional learning that stuck long after the pandemic.Elizabeth shares what it took to build an equitable, accessible classroom solution—embedding universal design for learning, multilingual supports, and teacher-tested strategies—while navigating HR, compliance, and culture. She offers a candid and optimistic view of what's next: time with family and grandchildren, tutoring math, and a mission to connect classroom teachers with state adoption cycles and review panels so their expertise shapes policy and materials. Her message is simple and powerful: the people closest to students should help design the system.If you care about meaningful math learning, hybrid PD that respects teacher time, and a culture where students feel seen and capable, this conversation is for you.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Steve Haddadin discuss:The importance of cultivating an entrepreneurial mindset in professional growthBuilding and maintaining strong client relationships through communication and transparencyManaging and mitigating risk while pursuing opportunitiesLeveraging marketing tools and personal branding for visibility and credibility Key Takeaways:Being proactive is essential because waiting for the “perfect time” to act often delays progress and causes missed opportunities, while those who start early gain momentum and reach their goals faster.Creating and maintaining accessible online profiles across LinkedIn and legal directories allows professionals to be easily found, build credibility, and attract clients who would otherwise never discover them.Providing excellent client care requires consistently clear communication, setting realistic expectations, and educating clients so that they not only feel informed during the process but also appreciate the value of your work.Instead of trying to eliminate risk, professionals should identify potential risks, apply mitigation strategies, and continuously monitor and refine their approach so they can confidently move forward rather than remain stuck.

What does it mean to build authentic trust in educational settings? How do we create working agreements that evolve with changing circumstances rather than remaining static? These questions form the heart of this deeply reflective conversation about leadership, classroom dynamics, and the complex relationships that underpin effective education.Beginning with a playful discussion about Collect Rocks Day, Joel and Misty explore how their fascination with collecting connects to building memories and relationships. This seemingly simple topic evolves into a profound metaphor for how we accumulate experiences that form the foundation of trust in our professional lives.For new leaders, establishing trust requires consistency and transparency over time. As Rafael insightfully notes, "You don't trust people, you trust their habits." This perspective highlights that meaningful trust emerges not from singular actions but from patterns of behavior demonstrated consistently across situations.The conversation examines how working agreements function across different educational contexts. Rather than treating classroom norms as immutable laws, we consider how to build agreements that can be revisited and revised as circumstances change. This approach not only creates more responsive learning environments but also teaches students valuable lessons about democratic processes.Joel, Misty, and Rafael share their experiences with CPM's mathematics curriculum, which fundamentally redistributes power in the classroom by positioning students as capable mathematical thinkers who can engage with concepts independently. This shift requires building trust on multiple levels – teachers trusting students to take ownership of their learning, and students trusting that this collaborative approach will benefit them in the long run.What emerges most powerfully from this discussion is the recognition that authenticity forms the bedrock of effective education. Whether in curriculum development, classroom management, or leadership transitions, genuine belief in what we're doing resonates with others and creates the conditions for trust to flourish.Then we have two new installments of our Join Them on Their Journey from two Academy of Best Practices participants. Jessie and Chi talk about how they've started the year and we appreciate them sharing their enthusiasm and dedication now and throughout this upcoming year. How are you building trust in your educational setting?

Yoav Oz is the Co-Founder and CEO of Rep AI, the conversational commerce platform giving online shoppers the kind of guided experience you'd expect from an in-store salesperson.The spark came from Yoav's own frustration: landing on ecommerce sites where he was ready to buy but stuck with eight pages of product copy and no one to answer his questions. Call centers felt broken. Chatbots felt generic. Out of that gap came Rep, short for “representative”: an AI sales assistant trained to step in at the exact right moment, with the context of everything a shopper has clicked, viewed, or abandoned.Yoav isn't building alone. Alongside him is Shauli Mizrahi, Rep's CTO and co-founder, who brings years of experience in behavioral AI. Together, they've built a tool that doesn't just cut support costs: it upsells, converts hesitant browsers, and helps brands maximize the traffic they've already paid to bring in.Their story blends SaaS know-how with ecommerce scrappiness: from proving AI could act like a real salesperson, to showing how conversational data can optimize entire funnels, to scaling integrations that slot into any brand's existing stack.Whether you're running a DTC store, trying to push up average order value, or rethinking how AI fits into your tech stack, Yoav shares a candid look at why the ecommerce funnel is broken and how Rep AI is working to fix it.In This Conversation We Discuss: [00:48] Intro[01:22] Sharing career paths before entrepreneurship[03:23] Bridging gaps between chatbots and consumers[07:01] Shifting mindset from support to revenue[08:33] Training AI with millions of conversations[12:55] Optimizing websites beyond guesswork[15:41] Creating experiences that drive purchases[17:16] Personalizing offers beyond discounts[18:11] Customizing tone of voice for every brandResources:Subscribe to Honest Ecommerce on YoutubeeCommerce shopping AI agent www.hellorep.ai/Follow Yoav Oz linkedin.com/in/yoavozFollow Shauli Mizrahi linkedin.com/in/shaulimizrachyIf you're enjoying the show, we'd love it if you left Honest Ecommerce a review on Apple Podcasts.

In Episode 271, we dive into one of the most critical parts of the Podcast Playbook: monetization. Podcasting is one of the most powerful tools for business development, but it comes with real costs — hardware, software, editing, your time, and even promotion. That's why monetization is not optional if you want your show to survive and thrive long term. In this episode, I walk you through why monetization matters, how to set yourself up for success early, and the five main revenue streams available to you as a podcaster: sponsorships, dynamic ad insertion, affiliate marketing, products and services, and paid communities.We also explore what sponsors are truly looking for, how to create compelling sponsorship packages, and why small niche shows can often command higher CPMs than large, general audiences. I share the pitfalls to avoid — from undervaluing your show to taking misaligned sponsors — and the long-term view you'll need to make monetization sustainable. Whether you're just starting or already running your podcast, this episode gives you the proven strategies to not only cover your costs but also to build real revenue that can support your growth for years to come.Key Takeaways: 1. Monetization is not optional — it's the only way to sustain a podcast long term.2. Hardware, software, hosting, editing, and promotion all carry costs that add up quickly.3. Planning for monetization early, including choosing a host with dynamic ad insertion, sets you up for success.4. Podcasts can generate revenue through sponsorships, dynamic ads, affiliate marketing, products and services, and paid communities.5. Sponsors care more about audience fit, consistency, and engagement than just download numbers.6. CPM (cost per thousand downloads) is a useful benchmark, but niche shows can command far higher rates.7. Even small podcasts with hundreds of downloads can monetize effectively if their audience is valuable to the right sponsors.8. Building custom sponsorship packages that include social posts, community mentions, and creative integrations adds major value.9. Avoid pitfalls like undervaluing your show, relying on one income stream, or taking sponsors that don't align with your audience.10. Monetization is a long game — start small, stay consistent, and treat every deal as planting seeds for future sustainability.✨ Join The Catalyst ClubIf you're ready to take the next step in your journey, don't go it alone.

I am still in shock about the loss of Todd Cochrane. I just saw him a few weeks ago 30 lbs lighter and looking great. I've known Todd for 20+ years. The man who wrote the very first book on podcasting. In looking for pictures, I only have this one in a group. Why? Because you always think a person will be there to do it next time. Todd was a character. Unique. There will never be another one. At every event I would end up at a table with Todd, "The Robs" (Greenlee and Walch) and other OGs. Always great to catch up and share insights with the goal of making sure the podcast space was doing OK.I will remember Todd as the courageous advocate of the independent podcaster. At one point he would get deals by grouping shows together. This was a HUGE nightmare of paperwork, but he wanted to see the "indies" make some money. I was one of those indies, and it was one of the first times I made money with a podcast. That wouldn't have happened without Todd.On a recent show he talked about he wouldn't do a deal where the podcaster made less than 70%. Other companies are taking deals of 50%. Not Todd. The podcaster must be paid.I loved that he had a wider view of the podcast space as the CEO of Blubrry and was always sharing what he saw. My favorite phrase to hear Todd say was, "I probably shouldn't say this but..." because you knew what was coming was a doozy. When you hear the stat, "Most podcasters don't make it past episode seven" that was first delivered by Todd Cochran. He was always open to share so if there was a problem so we could all solve it together.Todd was the man behind the People's Choice Podcast Awards. When some shows didn't win, he received death threats. Did it stop him from holding the awards next year? No. Todd earned next to nothing for doing those awards, but did it for the indies (noticing a pattern yet?). Lots of work for next to no pay as long as the indie would benefit. One of my favorite memories of Todd was way back at the New Media Expo. There was an off site party at a bar. I was running the podcast track, and got there late. The bar was at the top of a slope, so I was walking up this slight hill as Todd exited the bar. I believe the ol' sailor had consumed some spirits. Todd had not made it down the two or three steps to the parking lot, so there I was gazing up at Todd who looked 10 feet tall. They had been talking about bigger companies getting into podcasting. Before I could even say hello, Todd raised his fist in the air and shouted, "There is a fox in hen house boys! VIVA LA REVOLUTION!" So there he was, larger than life, fist in the air, up against the dark Vegas sky fighting for the indies. There will never be another Todd Cochrane.

Projects rarely go wrong. They start wrong. In this punchy breakdown, Jason spotlights Adam Beanie's framework and ties it to the builder's code Never yield ground so you can protect finished work, keep control, and deliver. The big miss: inadequate planning and starting before you're ready. Leadership alignment: PM and superintendent in lockstep or the job suffers.

Reconciliations don't have to be painful. In this episode, we explore how OneStream's Transaction Matching (TXM) transforms one of finance's most time-consuming bottlenecks into a streamlined, automated process. Learn why manual matching in spreadsheets creates risk, how TXM delivers speed and accuracy with configurable rules and direct integrations, and why its unified platform advantage sets it apart. You'll also hear two CPM customer success stories about a fast-growing services company, and a financial institution, that showcase how TXM shortened their close, improved accuracy, and freed finance teams to focus on strategy.
This episode wraps up our Last Planner series and sets the stage for a brand-new Last Planner Implementation Guide with real-world visuals and field-proven steps. Here's what you'll learn: Why the classic “should–can–will–did” ladder fails and how to rebuild it with macro-level Takt so your plans are both realistic and reliable. How to structure work by zones, not dates, to shorten throughput time without fantasy durations. Why shielding and screening at the weekly level is already too late and what to do months earlier instead. The power of First Run Studies (done 3–6 weeks out) to guarantee crews only start what they can finish on time. How to use workable backlog as swing capacity for the train of trades keeping flow intact and crews productive. A clear line in the sand: why CPM can't be your master schedule and what to use instead. This isn't just theory, it's the foundation for a field-ready manual that teams can actually follow. If you're serious about reliable promises, real flow, and project delivery that works, this episode is your blueprint.
In this episode, Jason dives deep into the Last Planner System not just to explain it, but to start building a clear, modern, and practical manual that actually works in today's construction environment. Too many of the resources we rely on are the same ones published 10, 20, even 25 years ago. They haven't kept up with the realities of flow, trade collaboration, and the integration of Takt planning. It's time to change that. Here's what we cover: Why the Last Planner must be paired with Takt (not CPM) if you want accurate milestones and real trade flow. The core meetings, deliverables, and behaviors that make the system succeed. How to move beyond outdated “weekly work plans from scratch” and filter commitments from a real production plan. Critical corrections we must make from how we track Percent Plan Complete, to when daily huddles should actually happen. If you're serious about implementing Last Planner the right way with respect for people, reliable commitments, and flow that works, this episode is for you.
