Marin County singer-songwriter, community and music collaborator Jon Chi joins “Only In The Green Room” as the first guest under the show's new banner—recorded in the Sweetwater Music Hall Green Room before Jon played to a packed house for his birthday show at the iconic venue. In a conversation full of gratitude, community love, and live-music philosophy, Jon reflects on how the Terrapin scene helped shape his musical orbit, why vulnerability is where the magic lives, and how live shows remain irreplaceable—no matter what AI does to recorded music. Special guests Stephanie Salva (Tumbleweed Soul) and Elliot Peck (Midnight North, Phil Lesh & Friends) pop in before joining Jon on stage, adding stories about collaborations, harmonies, and the deep relationships built through the Bay Area music community. Creators & Guests Tami Larson - Host Dennis Strazulo - Host Creators & Guests Tami Larson - Host Dennis Strazulo - Host Creators & Guests Tami Larson - Host Dennis Strazulo - Host   The “how lucky am I to have stumbled into this community?” moment—and why Jon leads with love The Terrapin Crossroads/Marin/Bay Area musician ecosystem (and all the overlap that makes it work) - spawning collaborations and lasting friendships Jon's musical roots: Massachusetts → Berklee College of Music → Bay Area scene The JP McClean (Melvin Seals JGB)) origin story: their first day as students at Berklee,  a chart that looked like “hieroglyphics,” and instant respect  Vulnerability on stage: choosing connection over perfection The “Yoga Mafia” crossover: how Now Yoga in Corte Madera became part of the music ecosystem Dead nights + mashups: blending Bee Gees, Biggie, Lou Reed, and more into jam setsWidespread Panic as Jon's “first jam band show”—and later collaborating with bassist Dave SchoolsThe passing-down tradition: Jon's kids performing and singing at shows Guest drop-ins: Stephanie shares what she's working on (Tumbleweed Soul, new trio, gigs with Dave Nelson Band) Elliot talks first duo collaboration with Jon, returning from hiatus, and community support Jon Chi's Birthday Show All-Star lineup: Sean Nelson — Drums Angeline Saris — bass Jordan Feinstein — keys Minglewood Lewis Jr. — percussion Patrick Byers, Natalie John, Andrew Ferren - Horns Elliott Peck and Stephanie Salva - Vocals Memorable moments & quotes: “I mean, I want to talk about how much I love everyone.” “I'd rather make a bunch of mistakes on stage and stay open to connect with people.” “If you're willing to share vulnerabilities, that's where deeper relationships grow.” “Even if AI disrupts recorded music—how do you ever replace live music?” Topics that hit hard: Why this scene works: It's collaborative, supportive, and built on people being decent humans and strong musicians.Why live music wins: Because it's shared presence, unrepeatable moments, and real connection.Why mashups matter: They expand the audience and keep traditions alive without turning them into copies. If you're new here… This episode is a love letter to the Bay Area's live music ecosystem—where jam culture, original music, yoga communities, and deep friendships all collide in the best way.Tags  John Chi, Only in the Green Room, Sweetwater Music Hall, Terrapin Crossroads community, Bay Area music scene, jam band culture, live music podcast, Grateful Dead community, improv music, vulnerability on stage, post-COVID live music, Now Yoga Corte Madera, Elliot Peck, Stephanie Tumbleweed Soul, Dave Schools, Widespread Panic

YoutubeSpotifyhttps://supportandfeed.org/BioRising pop-rock artist and multi-talented producer Ed Keiser returns with his new single, “Foreign Land,” a deeply personal and emotionally rich follow-up to his debut release, “You Are Not Alone.” Known for blending reflective storytelling with melodic, immersive production, Keiser once again invites listeners into a vulnerable and honest space shaped by resilience, love, and the human experience. “Foreign Land” expands on the themes first introduced in You Are Not Alone, a song Keiser released to encourage individuals facing loneliness, grief, or difficult circumstances. The debut track resonated widely not only for its message, but also for Keiser's commitment to donate 100 percent of its earnings to Support+Feed and Feeding America. With this new release, he continues building a catalog rooted in empathy, connection, and emotional truth. While You Are Not Alone served as an offering of comfort to those suffering in isolation, Foreign Land turns inward. Written as a dialogue between two lovers navigating trauma, the song was inspired by a painful chapter Keiser and his wife endured together. The verses unfold like a script, capturing an intimate back-and-forth that moves from confusion and fear toward clarity, faith, and renewal. “The song is a conversation between my wife and me,” Keiser explains. “We were going through a very trying time and still finding our way out of it. I wrote the song as an expression for both of us a way to look toward the future with hope. It was my way of helping us breathe again.” Across its four verses, Foreign Land explores uncertainty, spiritual questioning, and the emotional weight of hardship. Lyrics such as “When the pain is so strong, we question why the world is wrong?!” capture the rawness of that moment. Yet the song ultimately lifts upward, offering a path toward restoration through lines like “There will be no pain or fear, only through faith be it clear.” For Keiser, faith served as a grounding force during the creation of the track, though he emphasizes the song's universal message. “It is a song of hope,” he says. “My faith played a central role, but I didn't want to project my beliefs onto others. I embedded them gently, on purpose. The main theme is simple: hang in there—it will get better. It's about love, companionship, and overcoming hardship with your partner or loved one, whatever your beliefs may or may not be.” As both writer and producer, Keiser takes a hands-on approach to his music. Working primarily in Logic Pro, he performs multiple instruments and collaborates with skilled musicians to bring each arrangement to life. His contributions on acoustic guitar, piano, and bass provide a warm foundation, enriched by layered acoustic textures and meticulous production. The track also features acclaimed vocalist and guitarist Jamie Hoover, whose performance adds depth and emotional resonance. With Foreign Land now released, Keiser continues to shape a growing body of work, with plans for a larger project on the horizon. Whether the songs culminate in an EP or full-length album, his goal remains the same: to offer listeners solace, strength, and a reminder that healing is always possible. At the heart of Keiser's work is compassion. To support the approximately 47 million people in the United States experiencing food insecurity—about 1 in 7 Americans, according to the USDA Keiser has donated 100 percent of the earnings from You Are Not Alone and will continue to donate 100 percent of proceeds from Foreign Land to Support+Feed and Feeding America. Foreign Land is available now on all major streaming platforms, with promotional support from Starlight PR.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.

In episode 167 of On the Whorizon, SWCEO founder and host MelRoseMichaels breaks down why so many adult creators feel overwhelmed, behind, or burned out during holidays and major sales moments. She explains why successful creators don't treat holidays as one-off posting events, but as intentional revenue seasons built around planning, boundaries, and energy management.This episode covers how to decide which holidays are actually worth your time, how far in advance you should realistically plan, and how to stop chasing every sales moment out of fear. If you've ever felt pressure to “do it all” during holidays or blamed yourself for not capitalizing on every event, this conversation will help you build a smarter, more sustainable sales strategy that supports long-term income instead of short-term exhaustion.

Welcome back to The Weekly Scroll. In this episode, we're breaking down the most important social media updates from the past week and what they actually mean for creators, business owners, and brands building on Instagram and Threads. This week brought confusion, security concerns, and a wave of new features being quietly tested across Meta platforms. Instead of panic headlines or surface-level updates, this episode focuses on what's real, what's noise, and how these changes connect to a much bigger shift in how social platforms want us to show up online. In this episode, we cover: Why so many Instagram users received unexpected password reset emails and what Instagram says actually happened Conflicting reports around a potential data leak and why situations like this create prime conditions for phishing and scams The bigger lesson around digital hygiene for creators whose Instagram is tied to income, leads, or brand deals Instagram's reported testing of a new “Top 5” Stories feature and what it signals about private sharing and exclusivity Why Instagram continues to push content away from public feeds and deeper into Stories, DMs, and smaller circles Threads testing Live Chat inside Communities and why Meta is prioritizing real-time conversation over passive engagement What this means for creators who teach, coach, or lead communities The content format quietly performing best on Instagram right now and why clarity and connection are outperforming trends This episode isn't about fear or chasing every new feature. It's about understanding the direction platforms are moving and adjusting your strategy accordingly. If Instagram or Threads play any role in your growth or income, this is one episode you don't want to miss.

In this conversation! I delve into the realities facing content creators in 2026, shedding light on the emotional, mental, and strategic challenges that come with building a digital presence in an increasingly competitive landscape. He speaks openly about mental health, highlighting how constant comparison, burnout, and imposter syndrome can quietly erode confidence, even for creators who appear successful on the surface. Rory also examines the unpredictable nature of algorithms and how chasing metrics alone can lead creators away from their original purpose. Throughout the discussion, he emphasizes the critical role of community both in supporting audiences and among fellow creators as a grounding force in an otherwise isolating journey. Collaboration, accountability, and setting realistic, achievable goals are positioned as essential tools for long-term sustainability. Rory encourages creators to reconnect with their “why,” reminding them that purpose-driven content has a lasting impact beyond views and numbers. Ultimately, he urges creators not to give up on their dreams, but instead to build supportive communities around them that foster growth, resilience, and genuine connection.CONTACT ME HERE: TWITCH: https://www.twitch.tv/mitchreportgaming1:1 CONSULTING CALL: https://calendly.com/rorymitchell-biz/15-minute-discovery-call?month=2025-02INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/officially.rory/YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@officiallyroryX/TWITTER: https://twitter.com/officiallyroryHOO.BE: https://hoo.be/officiallyroryPAYPAL DONATIONS: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/rorymitch

Episode 2.74 (This time for real.)Can Descartes Escape Solipsism?In this episode, Michael and Zach tackle one of the most common—and serious—objections to Descartes' project: the Thomist charge that radical doubt collapses into solipsism. If all that survives the doubt is “I am a thinking thing,” how do we ever get back to the real world, other minds, or trustworthy knowledge?Rather than stopping at the cogito, this conversation traces Descartes' actual escape strategy, step by step. From the certainty of the thinking self, to contingency, to the necessity of a self-existent God, the discussion focuses on the critical move: God's moral perfection as the foundation for epistemic trust. Without a non-deceptive God, solipsism wins. With one, Descartes claims a narrow—but real—bridge back to reality.Along the way, the episode weighs:-Why Thomists argue Descartes starts in the wrong place-Whether the “Cartesian Circle” is fatal or misunderstood-If moral perfection can legitimately follow from necessity-Why radical doubt is a method, not a lifestyle-Where the real fault line lies between Thomist and Cartesian epistemologyThe conclusion is deliberately careful: Cartesian doubt does not entail solipsism—but it risks it unless its theistic rescue succeeds. The road out is narrow, but it is not imaginary.Find our videocast here: https://youtu.be/khbWIDw2VcAMerch here: https://take-2-podcast.printify.me/Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):⁠https://uppbeat.io/t/reakt-music/deep-stone⁠License code: 2QZOZ2YHZ5UTE7C8Find more Take 2 Theology content at http://www.take2theology.com

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!

The Golden Globes crowned a podcast winner, Netflix leaned further into podcast deals, and Spotify shifted the rules again. Big headlines are everywhere, but are they actually beneficial for indie podcasters? Today's conversation breaks down what's making waves across the industry, including awards, ads, platform power, and what happens when podcasting gets Hollywood attention. There's excitement around visibility and growth, and there's discomfort around who gets recognized and who gets left out. We unpack how these moves affect indie and commercially successful podcasters, as well as prestige versus sustainability, attention versus trust, and why not every big industry moment translates into real support for creators.Episode Highlights: [01:58] Listener mail featuring Joshua's letter[07:05] Podcast news and updates[15:11] Ralph's business bite[16:50] Spotify's big move for video podcasters[21:14] Netflix enters the podcast era[26:43] iHeartMedia's new platform integrations[29:12] Concerns about ads in podcasts[30:56] Celebrity podcasts: hits and misses[37:34] SEO boosts using Podpage[40:09] Golden Globes introduces a Best Podcast category[46:24] Reflections on the Golden Globes and what it signals for podcastingLinks & Resources: The Podcasting Morning Chat: www.podpage.com/pmcJoin The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcasting⁠Empowered Podcasting Conference Course with Recordings: https://ironickmedia.com/courses/epc2025/Application To Submit Your Show For Evaluation: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc8-Xv6O6lrNPcPJwj3N0Z5Osdl-5kHGz_PiAU45U57S-XgoA/viewform?usp=headerPodfest: https://podfestexpo.comDiscover Pods:https://discoverpods.com/aboutPodNews: www.Podnews.net Spotify Makes it Easier for Creators to Earn: https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/spotify-makes-it-easier-creators-earn-reveals-10-billion-podcast-spend-2026-01-07Netflix is officially in its Podcast Era: https://www.podcastnewsdaily.com/news/podcast-news-bites-netflix-the-ringer-true-native-media-dina-temple-raston/article_afb40e07-17d3-427e-b035-e1533ae0bddb.htmliHeart Media Wants Your Podcast Everywhere and on Everythinghttps://www.podcastnewsdaily.com/news/iheartmedia-unveils-new-platform-integrations-at-ces-2026/article_c8928609-91c6-45e1-8ea9-7bf3758361a2.htmlPodpage Unveils Automated SEO Boost for Podcastshttps://www.podpage.com/?via=ironickmedia Podcasts Hit Golden Globes: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/11/business/media/golden-globes-podcasts.htmlHost Nikki Glaser Welcomes us to the Podcast Era, 83rd Annual Golden Globes:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZMMVK7mkoURemember to rate, follow, share, and review our podcast.

In this milestone 50th episode—the first of 2026—Dr. Wes Eggett reflects on the journey of Leading in Dentistry, sharing how a lifelong interest in servant leadership and formative experiences in military dentistry led to the creation of the podcast. What began as a personal outlet for learning and reflection has grown into an ongoing conversation about influence, growth, and leadership at every level of a dental career, not just ownership.Wes also looks ahead to what's next, including a season of greater balance, new speaking opportunities, and an upcoming transition into practice ownership. Throughout the episode, he reinforces a central belief of the podcast: dentistry is a powerful training ground for leadership, and when we focus on developing people—not just production—we create stronger teams, better outcomes, and more meaningful work.Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/matrika/funk-style - License code: KUYOIZCBFCF1FOMP https://uppbeat.io/t/roo-walker/bolt - License code: RS1AU6Y5DGD5A3H8. https://uppbeat.io/t/doug-organ/boogie-time License code: 5EUWDIFBWYHENXPQ

We hear unusual stories about some of the things that happen in Florida, and Frank has been reporting on a lot of these, for quite some time. But this story involving the Anselmo family is one that needs to be read to be believed. You can even hear the incredulousness (was that in my "Word A Day" calendar?) in Frank's voice as he describes some of the events in the interview. And mind you, he was in the courtroom during the murder trial, too! Even though there were no vampires in the Anselmo family, you'll hear the surprising link to a story about a vampire cult. (Also, note that no one turned into a bat during the interview...)

Recorded at CES 2026, Tammy Haddad speaks with Caroline Pham, former acting chair of the CFTC and now chief legal officer and chief administrative officer at MoonPay.Pham explains why stablecoins are becoming core financial infrastructure, how regulatory clarity is unlocking U.S. innovation, and what digital money means for creators, brands, and fans — from IP protection and automated royalties to direct fan engagement. The conversation also explores agentic AI, trust in financial systems, and what's next as blockchain and AI converge.

Episode 2.73What if the key to reading the book of Joshua isn't the battles—but the burials?In this episode, Michael and Zach look at Joshua through an unexpected lens: four funerals that frame the book and quietly preach its theology. From the opening words after Moses' death to the closing scene with Joshua, Joseph, and Eleazar laid to rest, these funerals function as bookends that teach us how to read Joshua rightly.Rather than a man-centered story of conquest, Joshua presents a God-centered testimony of promise, presence, and perseverance. The land is a gift from Yahweh, courage flows from His nearness, and obedience is rooted in His Word—not personal greatness. Even the final burials are not anticlimactic; they are theological monuments, planted in the promised land as physical proof that God keeps His word.This episode explores:-Why Joshua opens and closes with death—and why that matters-How Joshua is intentionally framed as a “new Moses,” without replacing Yahweh-What the burial of Joseph's bones reveals about long-term faith and God's patience-Why Israel's unity is emphasized in moments of leadership transition-How the book ends with both confidence in God's faithfulness and longing for final victoryThe book of Joshua isn't just reporting history—it's preaching through history. And when read this way, the funerals don't close the story. They point forward, reminding us that God's promises outlive His servants, and that the final rest is still ahead.Find our videocast here: https://youtu.be/gGFI_HUs85EMerch here: https://take-2-podcast.printify.me/Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):⁠https://uppbeat.io/t/reakt-music/deep-stone⁠License code: 2QZOZ2YHZ5UTE7C8Find more Take 2 Theology content at http://www.take2theology.com

In the Beginning God Created the Heaven and the EarthCreation Podcast For Kids January 12–18: “In the Beginning God Created the Heaven and the Earth”Genesis 1–2⁠; Moses 2–3⁠; Abraham 4–5Because the world around us is so beautiful and majestic, it's hard to imagine the earth when it was “without form, and void” and “empty and desolate” (⁠Genesis 1:2⁠; Abraham 4:2⁠). One thing the Creation story teaches us is that God can, over time, make something magnificent out of something unorganized. That's helpful to remember when life seems chaotic. Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ are Creators, and Their creative work with us is not finished. They can make light shine in dark moments in our lives. They can fill our emptiness with life. They can transform us into the divine beings we were meant to be. That's what it means to be created in God's image, after His likeness (see Genesis 1:26⁠). We have the potential to become like Him: exalted, glorified, heavenly.This week kids will learn: “By mine Only Begotten I created these things.” Jesus Christ created the earth under Heavenly Fathers direction. Jesus created the earth.I am created in the image of God. “We were made to look like our heavenly parents and should treat our bodies with respect.” I was created in God's image.Your children can develop a sense of reverence and respect for their own and others' bodies as they learn that we were all created in God's imageI am responsible for caring for God's creations.God blessed and sanctified the Sabbath day.Practical tips and role playing for kids to practice explaining why they keep the sabbath day holy to their peers. The Sabbath day is holy.Audio about the creation taken from see “⁠The Creation of the Earth⁠” in Old Testament Stories⁠, 8–12). The 7 days of creation for kids! If you are new here - welcome! We are Come Follow Me Kids a primary podcast for kids who attend the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

In this episode of Social Media Decoded, Michelle Thames explains why webinars and live events still convert in today's marketing landscape and why many businesses believe they no longer work. She breaks down what actually kills conversions, how trust is built in live rooms, and the mindset shift required to turn visibility into real action. What This Episode Covers Why webinars and live events still work when designed with intention The biggest mistakes that prevent live experiences from converting How live rooms build trust faster than content alone The difference between teaching and creating connection Why clarity and positioning matter more than audience size How to think about live experiences as trust accelerators What to do before and after a live event to support conversion Who This Episode Is For Entrepreneurs hosting webinars or live events Coaches and consultants struggling with low conversion Business owners who want deeper trust with their audience Creators who feel visible but not connected Key Takeaways Live experiences convert when they are built for trust, not performance Small, intentional rooms often outperform large audiences Conversion starts before the room opens and continues after it closes Visibility works best when paired with clarity and direction Call to Action If you want help creating live experiences that actually convert, explore Visibility Power Hours or join The Collective for ongoing strategy and support.

In August 2016, a family of five left their redcurrant farm in Silvan, Victoria — driving north with a wad of cash, while their phones and bank cards stayed behind.Over the next few days, they fractured across New South Wales and Victoria, turning up one by one — distressed, disoriented, and convinced they were being followed.No kidnappers. No robbery. No clear “why.”Just a family that seemed to collectively slip out of reality…in broad daylight.Source Material:https://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-09-01/victorian-couple-spark-police-search-across-two-states/7805224 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-09-03/mark-tromp-found-after-police-search/7812148 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-09-05/ella-tromp-charged-with-stealing-car/7815700 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-09-06/mark-tromp-apologises-for-puzzling-family-road-trip/7818562 https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2016/sep/01/missing-melbourne-mother-jacoba-tromp-found-alive-in-hospital-in-nsw-town-of-yass https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2016/sep/02/police-search-for-missing-man-after-family-break-up-on-bizarre-road-trip https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2016/sep/02/tromp-daughter-found-in-back-of-ute-in-catatonic-state https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2016/sep/03/mark-tromp-found-on-outskirts-of-wangaratta https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2016/sep/04/mark-tromps-children-say-road-trip-that-led-to-search-a-family-matter https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2016/sep/05/ella-tromp-charged-with-stealing-car-during-bizarre-family-road-trip https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2016/sep/06/mark-tromp-sorry-for-hurt-and-concern-caused-by-bizarre-family-road-trip https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/vic-dad-missing-after-bizarre-road-trip/7r4gsvytn https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/tromp-daughter-was-found-in-back-of-ute/tzpes451z https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/tromp-family-road-trip-still-a-mystery/cu9o25rc7 https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/tromp-father-apologises-over-road-trip/2gwj4tafd Music Credit:1.

Welcome to the latest episode of L.I.F.T.S, your bite-sized dose of the Latest Industry Fitness Trends and Stories. In this episode, hosts Matthew Januszek and Mohammed Iqbal sit down with David Sherman-Presser to unpack why the fitness industry is rapidly becoming a media business, and what that means for gym owners, operators, and brands trying to stay relevant in a creator-driven economy. They explore how attention, trust, and audience ownership are now just as important as equipment and square footage, why gyms are increasingly competing with creators rather than other gyms, and how platforms like YouTube are reshaping how fitness businesses are discovered, validated, and scaled. From validating gym concepts online before investing millions, to understanding how long-form content builds trust at scale, this conversation breaks down what it really takes to build a modern fitness brand in 2026 and beyond. In this episode, you'll learn: Why gyms are becoming media companies. How creators are changing the competitive landscape for fitness businesses. Why YouTube is a critical platform for trust and discovery. How gym owners can validate concepts digitally before scaling. The role of long-form content in building audience and authority.

In this special edition of WSJ's Take On the Week, co-host Miriam Gottfried and WSJ banking reporter Alexander Saeedy go inside the high-stakes world of HBO's financial television drama “Industry.” They are joined by Mickey Down and Konrad Kay, former bankers turned co-creators of the show, to unpack how real-world market dynamics inspire the series. Down and Kay reflect on their early careers at Morgan Stanley and Rothschild, and explain why season 4 shifts away from the fictional trading floor of Pierpoint to the new frontiers of fintech, short selling and media.  The group compares the financial series' plotlines to real-world reporting on 100-hour workweeks and the mental health toll on junior bankers. They also take a look at the gamification of finance—from meme stocks to Polymarket—how a new generation is redefining risk, and the "cult of personality" driving financial fraud. Later, the creators weigh in on a hypothetical "cutthroat" trade: How would the show's characters Harper Stern and Eric Tao play the Venezuela reopening trade? Polymarket has a data partnership with Wall Street Journal parent Dow Jones. This is WSJ's Take On the Week where we cut through the noise and dive into markets, the economy and finance—the big trades, key players and business news ahead.

This week, Joe and Robert break down the latest signals in the economy, media, and marketing, from stabilizing job data and corporate tax incentives to AI's growing influence on content, platforms, and creative work. They also dig into where responsibility lies in an AI-saturated world and which organizations are adapting well…or getting it wrong. Key Topics Discussed Economic Update: Jobs and Stability Joe and Robert open the show with a look at recent U.S. economic data. After months of uncertainty, layoffs appear to have slowed, and job numbers are showing signs of stabilization. While not a return to boom times, the data suggests the labor market may be finding its footing heading into 2026. Corporate Tax Incentives and 2026 Profits The conversation turns to tax policy and its impact on business. Joe and Robert discuss how the permanent reduction of the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, along with other incentives, is setting mid-sized and enterprise companies up for significantly higher profits in 2026. They explore what this means for cash flow, reinvestment, and corporate behavior moving forward. Instagram, AI, and the Burden on Creators Next up, Joe and Robert analyze comments from Adam Mosseri and Instagram around AI-generated content. Mosseri makes it clear that Instagram does not intend to fully police AI content, instead emphasizing the importance of human creativity and authenticity. Joe and Robert question whether platforms are abdicating responsibility and placing the full burden on brands and creators to stand out in an increasingly cluttered, AI-driven feed. Final News: Uber's Co-Creation Ad Strategy In final news, the guys highlight Uber and its growing advertising business. Uber's co-creation media tactics are viewed as a smart, forward-thinking approach to revenue generation. Joe and Robert agree that too many enterprises still underestimate marketing's role as a direct revenue driver, not just a cost center. Marketing Winners and Losers Marketing Winner (Robert) Equinox Robert praises Equinox for its ad campaign that pokes fun at AI-generated content, using humor and human insight to cut through the noise and reinforce brand identity. Marketing Loser (Joe) Nebula Awards Joe calls out the Nebula Awards for their new rules banning any use of generative AI in the creative process. While intended to protect writers, Joe argues the decision is short-sighted, unenforceable, and misunderstands how creative tools evolve. Rants and Raves Robert's Rant: Robert takes aim at Digiday and what he sees as an overly cozy fascination with Accenture, questioning the value and objectivity of that coverage. Joe's Commentary: Joe closes with thoughts on the Corporation for Public Broadcasting winding down operations. He clarifies that PBS itself is not shutting down, but explains how the loss of federal funding disproportionately impacts rural and small-market stations, potentially reshaping public media into a more urban-centric system.

What does it really mean when someone looks at your career and says, “You should be doing more”?In this episode of ComicLab, Brad and Dave respond to a pointed listener question that cuts straight to the bone: If they have the skills, the experience, and the ideas — why haven't they launched even more projects? The answer isn't defensive or dismissive. Instead, it becomes a clear-eyed breakdown of creative bandwidth, sustainability, work-life balance, and the invisible labor that propels up a long-term comics career. From Patreon and newsletters to storefronts, commissions, podcasts, and family responsibilities, they unpack why “doing enough” is often misunderstood from the outside — and why restraint can be a strategic choice, not a lack of ambition.The conversation then pivots to one of the trickiest problems any humor writer faces: How to judge your own work when readers don't get the joke. How many confused comments are just statistical noise—and when do they signal a real problem in execution? Brad and Dave dig into the uncomfortable middle ground between ego and humility, exploring how to listen to feedback without letting it derail your voice, and how to improve clarity without sanding off what makes your work distinctive. It's a nuanced, experience-earned discussion about ramps, chasms, audience expectations, and why “it happens to everyone” is not an excuse — but also not a death sentence.If you've ever felt pressure to produce more, or struggled to decide whether reader confusion is a warning sign or just the cost of taking creative risks, this episode offers hard-earned perspective from two cartoonists who've been navigating those exact questions for decades.TakeawaysCreative projects often take a backseat due to time constraints.Cartoonists manage a heavy workload that includes multiple projects.Balancing creativity with administrative tasks is crucial for success.Feedback from readers can help improve comic writing.Self-editing is a continuous process for comic creators.Reader confusion can indicate a need for better communication in comics.Communication is key in the artistic process.     You get great rewards when you join the ComicLab Community on Patreon$2 — Early access to episodes$5 — Submit a question for possible use on the show AND get the exclusive ProTips podcast.
