 I heard you wanted to get creative, so here is my *almost painfully*detailed breakdown of that process. If you'd like my resume when it comes to creative thinking, Google my name.  (Before appearing too self-righteous to prospective listeners, we will be discussing the fundamental use of first person and first person possessive pronouns when it comes to creativity.) This is part one to my new mini-series on how to be more creative where we're exploring the fields of neuroscience, linguistics, metalinguistics, musculature, childhood development and much more! It's time to brace yourself because the communal Schauer this week is loosening some pretty big knots.

On today's episode, I'm sitting down with entrepreneur and Outdoor Voices founder, Ty Haney, to unpack her unconventional path from Boulder athlete to building one of the most influential activewear brands of the last decade. Ty shares how her early frustration with performance-only athletic wear sparked the idea for Outdoor Voices, the scrappy early days of community events and recreational movement, and what it was really like scaling the business to $100M as a first-time founder. We dive into the realities of fast growth—from hiring the right people to navigating growing pains—as well as the emotional complexity of leaving the company she built and later returning under new constraints. Ty also opens up about launching TYB, her community-commerce platform now powering loyalty for 250 brands, how she balances running multiple ventures, and the one thing she refuses to compromise on no matter what: excellent product. Insightful, candid, and packed with lessons on community-led growth, founder resilience, and staying immersed in your craft, this conversation is a must-listen for anyone building a brand, leading a team, or redefining what it means to “try your best.” Enjoy!To connect with Tyler Haney on Instagram, click HERE.To check out TyB on Instagram, click HERE.To check out Outdoor Voices, click HERE.To check out Joggy Energy, click HERE.To connect with Siff on Instagram, click HERE.To connect with Siff on Tiktok, click HERE.To learn more about Arrae, click HERE.

In this episode, we take a step back from our typical interview format to reflect on something many creative leaders are feeling right now: a subtle but persistent sense of drift amidst uncertainty. Drawing from recent conversations with leaders worldwide, Todd Henry digs into the changing dynamics of organizations, shifting marketplaces, and the unique challenges and numbness that come with these times.Instead of providing easy answers, Todd shares five uncomfortable—but essential—questions designed to provoke deep reflection for anyone with influence, whether you lead a team, guide clients, or simply shape decisions in your organization. He explores how apparent success can mask underlying misalignment, the dangers of leading from within an echo chamber, the paralyzing fear of looking foolish, the temptation of ego-driven systems, and the fine line between creating stability and fostering complacency in teams.This episode is an invitation to wrestle with the deeper work of leadership, sense-check our motives, and create environments where honest conversations and breakthrough ideas can flourish.Five Key Learnings:Success Can Be a Trap: Achieving goals and hitting metrics doesn't always equate to true progress if we lose sight of our original purpose. We must vigilantly check what we're really optimizing for.Truth-Telling is Essential: Leadership naturally creates distance. If we don't intentionally invite honest feedback (even if it stings), we risk operating in a false sense of alignment.Risking Embarrassment Fosters Innovation: Many great ideas die because we're afraid to look foolish. Innovation demands courage, and that courage is strengthened by sharing bold ideas in safe, trusted circles.Ego vs. Mission: It's easy to unconsciously build systems that feed our ego under the guise of excellence or mission. The real test: Would we do the work if nobody noticed?Stability Isn't Safety: Teams crave both challenge and stability, but protecting them too much can lead to complacency. The goal is to create security so that bold, meaningful risks—and growth—are possible.Get full interviews and bonus content for free!

How do you establish trust in an AI SOC, especially in a regulated environment? Grant Oviatt, Head of SOC at Prophet Security and a former SOC leader at Mandiant and Red Canary, tackles this head-on as a self-proclaimed "AI skeptic". Grant shared that after 15 years of being "scared to death" by high-false-positive AI, modern LLMs have changed the game .The key to trust lies in two pillars: explainability (is the decision reasonable?) and traceability (can you audit the entire data trail, including all 40-50 queries?) . Grant talks about yje critical architectural components for regulated industries, including single-tenancy , bring-your-own-cloud (BYOC) for data sovereignty , and model portability.In this episode we will be comparing AI SOC to traditional MDRs and talking about real-world "bake-off" results where an AI SOC had 99.3% agreement with a human team on 12,000 alerts but was 11x faster, with an average investigation time of just four minutes .Guest Socials -⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Grant's Linkedin Podcast Twitter - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@CloudSecPod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you want to watch videos of this LIVE STREAMED episode and past episodes - Check out our other Cloud Security Social Channels:-⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cloud Security Podcast- Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cloud Security Newsletter ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you are interested in AI Cybersecurity, you can check out our sister podcast -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ AI Security Podcast⁠(00:00) Introduction(02:00) Who is Grant Oviatt?(02:30) How to Establish Trust in an AI SOC for Regulated Environments(03:45) Explainability vs. Traceability: The Two Pillars of Trust(06:00) The "Hard SOC Life": Pre-AI vs. AI SOC(09:00) From AI Skeptic to AI SOC Founder: What Changed?

In this episode of Get Creative with Pace Morby, host Justin Tuminoski welcomes Edgar “The Connector” Salgado, a SubTo, Gator, and Owners Club powerhouse from Houston, Texas. When a zero-down real estate deal flipped on its head at the closing table, Edgar didn't panic—he pivoted. Tune in as he shares how he overcame a last-minute lender change, came up with $10,000 out of pocket, and still walked away with a cash-flowing fourplex generating $600 a month. You'll learn how Edgar and his partners leveraged creative financing tools like the Morby Method and Gator lending, worked through DSCR loan challenges, and turned a duplex into a fourplex that's now housing veterans and contributing to affordable and sober living solutions.

Growing a business is never about luck. It is about execution, distribution and the ability to stay focused through every challenge. This week, I speak with Dr Ann Kaplan Mulholland, a finance founder who built a billion dollar empire, scaled a nationwide lending operation, invested in commercial property, and then bought and rebuilt a 1000 year old medieval castle in Kent.Ann explains the decisions behind her finance company, why she focused on doctors as her main distribution channel and how she signed up sixteen thousand medical professionals to drive customer flow. She breaks down her move into global real estate, including commercial units in Canada, residential properties in the US and a 145 acre fortress that needed major repair work.We talk through her approach to negotiation, funding, risk and execution. Ann shares the importance of personal brand, why every founder needs visibility online and why ignoring social media harms your business. She explains how she turned her castle project into a TV series, how she handled a difficult survey report, how she reduced the purchase price by one million pounds and how she created a valuable distribution channel through television exposure.If you want a direct breakdown of entrepreneurship, scale up discipline, property strategy and personal branding, this episode gives a clear view from someone who has done it repeatedly. Ann challenges common assumptions, gives honest advice for first time founders and explains why your idea is irrelevant unless you understand distribution, execution and value.Key TakeawaysReverse engineering distribution channels provides a more reliable foundation for a new business.Visibility is essential. A founder without a social presence limits growth and credibility.Strategic negotiation requires preparation, timing and the confidence to walk away.Real estate can be a long term income strategy when purchased through disciplined planning.Creative problem solving often matters more than resources when starting a company.Investors respond to clear execution plans, not ideas.

Heather and Alan sit down with writer, lyricist, editor, and creative force Kara Cutruzzula—whose winding, multidimensional career is a masterclass in following curiosity, embracing uncertainty, and letting creative energy lead the way. Kara shares how a series of “sliding doors” moments shaped her path from journalism to essays, from writing short plays to crafting musicals, and how she learned to stop treating choices as “right or wrong” and instead as opportunities to experiment, evolve, and discover what's possible. She opens up about the power of self-belief, the importance of external accountability for big creative projects, her life as a manifesting generator (which Alan and Heather have thoughts about), and her brilliant system for managing ambition without burning out. We also dive into her upcoming Off-Broadway–focused publication The Hat, her musical Marathon, the joy of collaboration, the magic of mixing mediums, the necessity of tender self-compassion, and yes… the many unexpected life lessons learned from Wendy's, Cracker Barrel, and saucy nugs.

On today's after-news discussion, Andy Murray and Adam Wilbourn discuss and analyse WWE's recent creative slump over the course of 2025.ENJOY!Follow us on Twitter:@AdamWilbourn@AndyHMurray@WhatCultureWWE Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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.

Our Mothers Knew It with Maria EckersleyA Creative Study of Come, Follow MeD&C [D&C 133-134]“Prepare Ye for the Coming of the Bridegroom”November 17 – November 23, 2025WEEK 47 SUMMARYDoctrine and Covenants 133, often referred to as the "Appendix," emphasizes the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, urging the Saints to prepare by gathering to Zion and spreading the gospel. It highlights the importance of being spiritually ready and the eventual triumph of righteousness.

In this special Q&A episode, Candace shares real conversations from a recent Pet Boss Nation coaching session- tackling the topics keeping pet business owners up at night. From the literal end of U.S. penny production to navigating employee raise requests when budgets are tight, to creating lead magnets that actually grow your business, this episode delivers practical solutions you can implement immediately. She covers:

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!
