Chad Jennings of Jennings Guitars returns to the pod after nearly seven years, and a lot has changed — finishes, neck shapes, and maybe even a few philosophical outlooks on life (and trucks). Blake and Chad catch up on what it means to keep building through hard seasons, why gloss finishes and roasted woods are calling his name, and how guitar design can be as much about patience as it is about precision. They get into nerdy territory: un-potted pickups vs. potted, why baritones with single coils just hit different, and how slowing down production sometimes means getting more guitars done. There's talk of Tone Shepherd amps, Lambertones pickups, flatwound string nightmares, old F-150s, and the sweet balance between staying inspired and staying in business. It's a wide-open chat about creativity, craftsmanship, and rediscovering the joy that got you into this world in the first place.

This month's creative trends episode exposes the real state of mobile UA:We've officially entered the Era of Creative Theft 2.0 - not “heavily inspired,” but direct 1:1 stolen ads, chopped end cards, mirrored clips, watermarks still visible… and nobody cares because they convert 4-5× better.Three mega-trends emerge:1) The “Stolen but Performing” Era• Social casino, idle, 4X… everyone is lifting creatives from other genres.• Teams aren't even recreating the concept - they're copying the whole video, trimming it, mirroring it, or leaving the watermark.• Networks don't police it, platforms don't care, and small studios can't compete with the CPI gap.2) The Golden Age of ASMR / Wood / Cleaning Satisfiers• The “Idle Lumber” effect: anything with chopping, slicing, scrubbing, wood, logs, dust → crushing low CPI.3) The King Shot → Royal Kingdom → Everyone Else Pipeline• King Shot's onboarding + mass battle + RTS-style transitions have reshaped the entire industry's ads.• Royal Kingdom straight-up used the formula for a match-3 playable.• 4X games (Last War, Last Z, Total Battle) are adopting the mass-battle → puzzle fusion.Key takeawayThe best-performing creatives aren't the most original - they're the most optimized. The industry now rewards speed, iteration, theft-based inspiration, and cross-genre pattern-breaking above everything else.Get our MERCH NOW: 25gamers.com/shop--------------------------------------PVX Partners offers non-dilutive funding for game developers.Go to: https://pvxpartners.com/They can help you access the most effective form of growth capital once you have the metrics to back it.- Scale fast- Keep your shares- Drawdown only as needed- Have PvX take downside risk alongside you+ Work with a team entirely made up of ex-gaming operators and investors---------------------------------------For an ever-growing number of game developers, this means that now is the perfect time to invest in monetizing direct-to-consumer at scale.Our sponsor FastSpring:Has delivered D2C at scale for over 20 yearsThey power top mobile publishers around the worldLaunch a new webstore, replace an existing D2C vendor, or add a redundant D2C vendor at fastspring.gg.---------------------------------------This is no BS gaming podcast 2.5 gamers session.

It highlights the importance of being spiritually ready and the eventual triumph of righteousness.

It emphasizes the need for governments to secure the rights of individuals and the Church's commitment to peace and order.

Ever feel like you're doing everything "right" with money—but still barely getting ahead? You're budgeting. You're saving what you can. You cut the subscriptions, meal prep on Sundays, and skip the daily latte. So why does it still feel like you're spinning your wheels? In this Greatest Hits episode, Joe Saul-Sehy welcomes Erin Lowry (Broke Millennial), Paula Pant (Afford Anything), and Greg McFarlane (Control Your Cash) to tackle the question nobody wants to ask: What if the problem isn't your spending—it's your income? Erin shares her journey from broke and stressed to financially stable and empowered, and the crew digs into why so many families struggle even when they're following all the "rules." Sometimes extreme budgeting isn't the answer. Sometimes you need to earn more. And yes, that's easier said than done—but this episode gives you the roadmap. From practical strategies for saving for retirement when cash is tight, to negotiation tricks that lower your monthly bills, to the hilariously strange side hustles people actually do for extra money (you'll never look at classified ads the same way), this conversation is packed with ideas you can use today. Plus: Classic basement banter, a "Spider Pig" serenade, Tony Romo's birthday, and all the tangents that make Stacking Benjamins feel like hanging out with friends who happen to know a lot about money. What You'll Walk Away With: • Why you might feel behind even when you're doing everything the experts tell you to do • Erin Lowry's framework for moving from "broke" to financially confident (and why it's not just about willpower) • When to focus on cutting costs vs. when to focus on earning more—and how to know the difference • Practical retirement savings strategies that work even when your cash flow is tight • Negotiation scripts for lowering your internet, phone, and other monthly bills (yes, they actually work) • Creative (and sometimes bizarre) ways people make extra money that you've probably never considered This Episode Is For You If: • You're exhausted from budgeting and feel like you're sacrificing everything but still not getting ahead • You wonder if you're just bad with money—or if something else is going on • You've cut expenses as far as they'll go and need new strategies • You're curious about side hustles but don't know where to start (or what's actually worth your time) • You need a reminder that struggling financially doesn't mean you're doing it wrong—sometimes the system is just rigged FULL SHOW NOTES: https://stackingbenjamins.com/stop-worrying-start-saving-greatest-hits-week-1761 Deeper dives with curated links, topics, and discussions are in our newsletter, The 201, available at https://www.StackingBenjamins.com/201 Enjoy!

On today's episode, I'm sitting down with fashion entrepreneur and Ramy Brook founder, Ramy Brook Sharp, to unpack her remarkable journey from launching a brand in her 40s to building a modern fashion empire. Ramy shares how she broke into the industry without a design degree, the early days of trunk shows, and the moment Bergdorf Goodman picked up her line within six months of launching. We dive into the realities of scaling a fashion business–from hiring and e-commerce growth to expanding into dresses, silk, jewelry, and shoes–as well as how she navigated the challenges of COVID when her going-out focused brand was forced to pivot overnight.

On this week's episode of the En Factor, we are excited to be joined by celebrated Canadian artist and creative business mentor, Tim Packer. Tim had a lifelong dream of making a living off of his artwork, but had given up on himself after only a few years of not being satisfied with his talent and potential as an artist after college. He left his dream to join the police force for nearly 20 years, but it was an introduction to the concept of a growth mindset when everything changed for Tim. Tim began pursuing his passion for art again in 1997 while remaining in the police force as a detective for a few more years before leaving law enforcement to live out his dream and build out his art business, Tim Packer Fine Arts. And it wasn't long until Tim's paintings were being featured in and winning awards at all sorts of different art shows across North America.  Tim Found found lots of success through his work, but also expanded his revenue stream by opening his own online store and growing into social media and selling directly to consumers. But after some time, Tim's mission grew into the desire to help other aspiring artists achieve the same success he did, but also helping a create smoother path for them to get there. This led him to starting a Youtube channel for artists, as well as opening the Tim Packer Art Academy as a way to further give back to other artists pursuing their creative careers. You don't have to be artist to tune in and join us for this enlightening and motivating episode with Tim, as he and Dr. Rebecca White dive into topics of conversation including the importance of the word “yet” and having a growth mindset, the decisions behind Tim's journey from art to law enforcement and back to art, and Tim's advice for listeners on recognizing opportunities and finding your true passion. You won't want to miss a moment of Tim's incredible story and advice! Key Words - Arts Entrepreneurship, Career Transitions

Now, through her coaching programs, her podcast, and her best-selling book Artpreneur, she helps other artists and creatives do the same.Together, Anna and Miriam talk about the mindset shifts, practical tools, and visibility strategies that help creatives stop undercharging, start sharing their work confidently, and build income with integrity.✨ In this episode, you'll learn:The #1 reason so many creatives don't stick with their dreams — and how to change thatWhy charging money for your work isn't “selling out” — it's self-respectHow to stop letting fear of visibility keep you from connecting with your audienceThe difference between “marketing” and simply telling your story with clarity and convictionWhy being a successful creative isn't about talent alone — it's about treating your work like it mattersWhat to do if you're overwhelmed and don't know where to start

Runway is building FP&A software that solves what Siqi Chen calls "the impossible problem"—matching Excel's speed and flexibility for thinking while functioning as an enterprise finance platform. In this episode of The Front Lines, wew sat down with Siqi to unpack Runway's mischief marketing playbook, why they enriched hot sauce pre-orders for lead gen, and how they're implementing AI as a coworker rather than a copilot. Topics Discussed: The unit economics behind the Burn Rate hot sauce campaign: $40K spend, 5K pre-orders, millions of views  How Siqi justifies creative marketing spend as CEO and CFO: downside scenarios must break even, upside gets uncapped returns  Naval's prescient 2020 advice: don't call it CFO AI because "everything's going to be AI anyway"  Why finance buyers completely flipped on AI in 24 months—from indifferent to requiring it  The three emotional triggers that drive FP&A tool adoption: frustration, resentment, anxiety  Runway's approach to competing with Excel by changing abstraction layers, not features  Building AI as a coworker (Ari) that lives in Slack, email, and comments—not a sidebar  Why proof-of-human marketing compounds in value as AI slop becomes the baseline GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Model creative campaigns like venture bets with downside protection: Siqi's framework: $40K for 200 hot sauces wrapped with $100 bills equals 1.5 deals to break even at mid-five-figure ACVs. But the real play was generating 5,000 pre-orders, enriching the top 200, and converting ICP matches at "well above 1%" into pipeline. The math ensures you don't lose money in downside scenarios while creative execution delivers uncapped upside. For B2B founders: calculate your break-even deal count, then structure campaigns where lead gen mechanics provide a safety net under the brand play. Hire for proof of work, not creative credentials: When Cal (Taika co-founder) cold-emailed Siqi with designed mockups of Burn Rate hot sauce and Runway jerseys, that was the interview. Siqi was already a Taika customer who remembered the 415 phone number branding on the can. His advice: "There's no better resume than someone saying 'hey, I submitted a pull request' or 'here's some designs.'" For creative roles especially, evaluate the artifacts directly rather than filtering through credentials or pitches about what they could do. Sell to emotion-driven active searchers, not satisfied users: Runway identified three specific emotions that trigger FP&A software searches: frustration (manually pulling from 20+ data sources monthly, copy-pasting QuickBooks exports), resentment (department heads treating finance requests as "the stupid form" and ignoring deadlines), and anxiety (one error in 10 million Google Sheets cells breaks the entire model). These aren't rational pain points—they're emotional breaking points that drive active solution-seeking. Don't build go-to-market around convincing satisfied Excel users. Instead, optimize for discovery when these specific emotions converge. Treat abstraction changes as category creation opportunities: Siqi explains Airtable's success came from changing Excel's abstraction from cell to row, enabling databases and applications. Runway's insight: business planning requires abstraction changes that Excel can't provide—specifically treating the model as a "game engine" or "simulation of a business" rather than a spreadsheet. The category emerged from that technical insight, not from marketing positioning. For technical founders: identify where your abstraction layer change creates fundamentally new capabilities, then let category definition follow from customer language around those capabilities. Time creative marketing to buyer perception shifts: Two years ago, Runway demoed AI features to leads who "didn't care at all." Today, buyers "don't care what the AI feature is, they just care that it's AI"—a complete flip. Meanwhile, Runway's competitors use .ai domains while Runway uses .com, creating unexpected differentiation. The lesson: buyer perception of emerging technologies follows unpredictable curves. Creative marketing that feels early can land perfectly if timed to perception inflection points. Track not just technology maturity but buyer discourse and demand signals to time creative bets. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co // Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

Story Transcript:Ca: A l'Escola Gran del Montseny, un lloc ple de màgia i tradicions, un aire especial circulava entre els estudiants quan la tardor arribava.En: At the Escola Gran del Montseny, a place full of magic and traditions, a special air circulated among the students when autumn arrived.Ca: Les fulles de colors brillants cobrien el terra del pati, i l'aroma de castanyes torrades omplia l'aire fresc.En: The ground in the courtyard was covered with brightly colored leaves, and the aroma of roasted chestnuts filled the fresh air.Ca: Era el moment de l'any que tots esperaven amb impaciència: el concurs anual de la Castanyada.En: It was the time of year that everyone eagerly awaited: the annual Castanyada contest.Ca: Pere, un estudiant ambiciós i competitiu, tenia un sol objectiu aquest any: guanyar el concurs de torrades.En: Pere, an ambitious and competitive student, had a single goal this year: to win the roasting contest.Ca: Volia impressionar els seus companys i, en secret, demostrar a tothom que era el millor.En: He wanted to impress his peers and, secretly, prove to everyone that he was the best.Ca: Però tenia un problema: no sabia torrar castanyes.En: But he had a problem: he didn't know how to roast chestnuts.Ca: Les seves sempre acabaven cremades o crues.En: His always ended up either burnt or raw.Ca: Una tarda, mentre passejava pel pati escoltant la remor de fulles cruixents sota els seus peus, Pere va sentir una conversa entre uns companys.En: One afternoon, while he was walking through the courtyard listening to the rustle of crunchy leaves under his feet, Pere overheard a conversation among some classmates.Ca: Parlaven de Mireia, la campiona indiscutible dels anys anteriors.En: They were talking about Mireia, the undisputed champion of previous years.Ca: Deien que tenia un truc secret per torrar les castanyes a la perfecció.En: They said she had a secret trick for roasting chestnuts perfectly.Ca: Pere es va quedar pensatiu.En: Pere was thoughtful.Ca: Què hauria de fer?En: What should he do?Ca: Espiar a Mireia o trobar una altra manera?En: Spy on Mireia or find another way?Ca: Amb el cap ple de dubtes, Pere va decidir parlar amb Laia, la seva millor amiga.En: With his head full of doubts, Pere decided to talk to Laia, his best friend.Ca: Laia sempre tenia idees fresques i creatives.En: Laia always had fresh and creative ideas.Ca: "No hem d'enganyar," va dir Laia.En: "We shouldn't cheat," said Laia.Ca: "Fem servir la nostra imaginació per torrar les millors castanyes!En: "Let's use our imagination to roast the best chestnuts!"Ca: "Junts van passar hores pensant en un mètode únic.En: Together, they spent hours thinking of a unique method.Ca: Van experimentar amb focs de mida diferent, van barrejar espècies que ningú no s'imaginaria per a les castanyes, i van practicar fins tard.En: They experimented with fires of different sizes, mixed spices that no one would imagine for chestnuts, and practiced until late.Ca: Les seves castanyes no sortirien com les tradicionals, però tenien una essència pròpia.En: Their chestnuts would not come out like the traditional ones, but they had their own essence.Ca: El dia del concurs va arribar.En: The day of the contest arrived.Ca: El pati bullia d'activitat.En: The courtyard was buzzing with activity.Ca: Els participants estaven preparats amb les seves taules plenes de castanyes.En: The participants were ready with their tables full of chestnuts.Ca: Pere i Laia van començar la seva torrada, i tots es van quedar sorpresos amb l'olorar les seves castanyes: una barreja entre dolç i picant, aromes de tardor.En: Pere and Laia began their roasting, and everyone was surprised by the smell of their chestnuts: a mix of sweet and spicy, aromas of autumn.Ca: Quan va ser l'hora d'escollir el guanyador, com era esperat, Mireia va ser escollida.En: When it was time to choose the winner, as expected, Mireia was chosen.Ca: Però va haver-hi també un moment especial per a Pere i Laia.En: But there was also a special moment for Pere and Laia.Ca: Els seus esforços van ser reconeguts amb un premi especial per la seva creativitat.En: Their efforts were recognized with a special award for their creativity.Ca: Els companys els van felicitar, i Pere va sentir una calidesa al cor.En: Their classmates congratulated them, and Pere felt a warmth in his heart.Ca: No havia guanyat el primer premi, però havia aconseguit una cosa encara més important: el respecte i l'admiració dels seus amics.En: He hadn't won the first prize, but he had achieved something even more important: the respect and admiration of his friends.Ca: Va aprendre que la veritable victòria no es troba només en guanyar sinó en l'esforç i la creativitat.En: He learned that true victory is not only found in winning but in effort and creativity.Ca: En aquell dia assolellat de tardor, entre rialles i olor de castanyes, el vent li va xiuxiuejar que ja no necessitava ser el millor, només ser ell mateix.En: On that sunny autumn day, amidst laughter and the smell of chestnuts, the wind whispered to him that he no longer needed to be the best, only to be himself.

Just a heads-up that in this episode we talk about late miscarriage. I am so grateful to Kelly for opening up about something that affects and speaks to so many of us - it's a beautiful conversation but if you're feeling tender around those issues for whatever reason, we've put in the time-stamps below in case you need to skip that bit.  Kelly is a woman whose career has reflected the shifting tides of the British media landscape: from finding fame as a glamour model in the 90s, and being voted FHM's sexiest woman in the world on more than one occasion; she later made the move into presenting and acting. Now it's also just been revealed that she'll take part in this year's I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! In her first interview since that announcement, Kelly joins me for an honest and moving conversation about the pitfalls of fame, finding true love and she gives an extraordinarily vulnerable insight into her own fertility journey and her decision not to have children. Plus; how working on her own self-worth has brought her new happiness. An inspiration! ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Introduction 02:05 Marriage 05:28 Joining 'I'm a Celebrity' 06:52 Preparing for the Jungle 10:56 Reflecting on Success and Failure 25:28 Navigating Personal Growth and Boundaries 26:39 Romantic Relationships and Sacrifices 31:36 Dealing with Loss and Grief 33:31 Body Image and Societal Pressures 35:55 The Pain of Miscarriage 46:39 Embracing Authenticity and Moving Forward
