Send us a textIn this midweek edition of the Customer Success Playbook, Cairo Marsh returns to the mic to explore the layered world of empathetic marketing across cultures. From the Bronx to Tokyo, Cairo's lived experience adds a global lens to his practical insights on designing connection-first marketing strategies. He unpacks how empathy drives retention, not just acquisition, and reveals a three-tiered framework for building brand relationships based on product, brand identity, and social capital.Detailed Analysis: Cairo Marsh is back for part two, and the conversation dives even deeper. What begins as a lighthearted exchange about food adventures in Tokyo quickly transforms into a tactical discussion on what it means to build marketing strategies that resonate across diverse cultural contexts.The heart of this episode lies in Cairo's model of connection:Functional (product value)Emotional (brand resonance)Social (status or identity alignment)By structuring messaging and experiences around these layers, brands can meet customers where they are—geographically and emotionally. Cairo shares how this model works globally, with examples from his own bi-continental agency experience.But Cairo doesn't stop at strategy. He addresses the million-dollar question: how do you measure the impact of empathy? His answer is both practical and powerful: combine transactional data with perceptual insights to understand not just what customers do, but why they do it. That "why," he argues, is the leading indicator of business success.Crucially, the episode draws a bridge between marketing and customer success. Cairo emphasizes that empathy shouldn't end at conversion. It's the glue that holds the entire post-sale journey together—retention, loyalty, and advocacy all benefit when brands treat customers like humans, not just metrics.This conversation is a masterclass in global customer connection and a blueprint for embedding empathy across every phase of the customer journey. It's also a prelude to the next episode, where Cairo returns to unpack how AI fits into the empathy equation.Now you can interact with us directly by leaving a voice message at https://www.speakpipe.com/CustomerSuccessPlaybookCheck out https://funnelstory.ai/ for more details about Funnelstory.

In Episode 13 of The Expat-ations Podcast

In a Minneapolis rehearsal room, a group of Somali musicians gathers in a circle, playing music rooted in the cafés of Mogadishu. The sound is emotional, rhythmic and steeped in memory. It's called “Somali blues.”“The lyrics are just showing you what it means,” says Ahmed Ismail Yusuf, the group's leader. The style is similar to what you might have heard in Somalia before the civil war.“It is this lugubrious, lamentation [of] love not returned.”Yusuf and the small outfit — called Araa — are rehearsing for an upcoming concert, “Meet You at the Crossroads.” The concert is co-produced by the University of St. Thomas' Jay Phillips Center for Interreligious Studies and the Cultural Fluency Initiative.“This is really about the life of the city. There are more cultural groups in the Twin Cities than ever,” said David Jordan Harris, who works with the Jay Phillips Center and curated the concert. “Yet, do we know each other? How do we learn about each other? And you know, no better method than our musical traditions.” “Meet You at the Crossroads” will bring together Somali blues and songs inspired by Black gospel music. The idea came from a previous experiment Harris developed with Beck Lee, who runs the Cultural Fluency Initiative. “We did sort of a proof of concept concert salon a little while ago where we where we juxtaposed Sephardic music and Somali music,” Lee said. “It was just interesting to be able to experience those two musical cultures and juxtaposition and talk about it.”This time, Lee and Harris invited Yusuf to lead the Somali music, and JD Steele to bring the Black soul repertoire.“I love cross-cultural, cross-genre projects, because I've been doing them my entire career,” said Steele, known for his long career in the performing arts, and as a member of the well known family band, The Steeles. “Combining multicultural communities, it just excites me.”Steele will perform with his own band and the MacPhail Community Youth Choir, which he directs. Steele and Yusuf are also collaborating on a new song that the youth choir will sing at the concert. During rehearsal with the choir, Yusuf said it had been a long time since he'd taken part in something like it.“The last one that I was [in], was in Somalia,” Yusuf said, adding praise for Steele's work with the choir. “Seriously, you can see the master in hand.”As the performances approach, Steele said the goal is simple: to leave people feeling better than when they arrived.“Because right now, the need for uplifting, encouragement and inspiration is very palpable in our communities. So you know that's our responsibility as artists — is to uplift and inspire and encourage,” Steele said. The first concert takes place April 6 at the University of St. Thomas, launching the school's Culture of Encounter Ideas Festival. Another performance is set for April 27 at St. John's University in Collegeville.Correction (April 4, 2025): This story has been updated with the correct name of the concert series.

Send us a textBefore we dive into uncovering the language of the Universe, I'd love for you to pause, take a deep breath. Exhale. And remember. Thich Nhat Hanh wrote, "Our breath is the bridge connecting our body and our mind. Returning to our breathing, and following it all the way through from the beginning to the end with awareness, brings body and mind back together, and reminds us of the miracle of the present moment."When was the last time that, while the outside world hollered for your precious attention and energy - distracting - annoying, that you caught an inkling, felt a deep knowing that if you didn't shut all that crap out and pay attention you were going to miss something important?Maybe what you would've missed was a message from a loved one that passed on years prior. Or it was a whisper not to enter an intersection on that yellow light, or it was a song on the canned music at the grocery store or mall that has always held deep meaning for you, or it was a reminder that you didn't lock your home; or that you haven't heard from your daughter in too long, or a reminder to schedule that vet appointment for your dog.What came to your mind? In that moment you witnessed the Bridge; a message was sent, seen and understood. STILL through all that outside noise, you heard the message! Acknowledging that helps it to happen again. And again. In less subtle ways, too.That juicy in-between space is not just on display at times when a set of supernatural conditions are met, like, say, a full moon, Halloween, summer solstice, sunrise, the passing of a loved one, etc. The Bridge (or the veil as some prefer to call it) is always there. What's different about those woo-sanctioned moments is we go into those times EXPECTING a message, anticipating the delivery of some deeper knowing, divine guidance, or communication with an ancestor. We are pre-primed to witness the supernatural. It's the energetic equivalent of setting our radio dial to a clear station. Well, bring that open mind to each fresh day! Give it a try, and see if you experience more of it. I wonder if that's the importance of morning minutes? Making a daily practice of sitting in silence to hear direction? Confirmation? That feels true. I'll check in with you on this next week, and let's see if we can normalize hearing from the Universe. This week, we turn to the familiar across the globe - the symbols, stories, and signs that seem to resonate across time and geography. These hints to the language of the Universe even come in the form of melody. Ever heard a song that felt like an old friend you lost track of for a bit? Seen a bunch of references to rabbits, that spotted one out on a walk and wondered if the animal represented some deep knowledge?What to read/listen/watch NEXT!The Present, Curious Cat Episode on BuzzsproutHave you tried the GoodPods app yet?

Human fathers exhibit hormonal shifts in testosterone, prolactin, and oxytocin, enabling flexible responses to parenting. In species with costly paternal care, these shifts balance mating and parenting efforts, suggesting evolved neuroendocrine capacities that support fatherhood. Today, fathers collaborate with mothers worldwide, though their roles vary across cultures and family systems, much as they likely did evolutionarily. Using research from the Philippines, Congo-Brazzaville, and the U.S., alongside cross-cultural data, this talk examines how men's hormonal physiology adapts to parenthood and influences family behaviors and bonds within diverse ecological and cultural contexts.

We've been thinking a lot about culture recently, and reflecting on how–whether or not we're aware of it–culture is a force that's always exerting influence on us. It's typically only when we get outside of our daily routine, our city or even our country, and are confronted with new ways of doing things that we can clearly see the values, norms, and practices that make up the culture we live in. Today, we're re-running a thought-provoking conversation we had with Michele Gelfand about notions of what she calls “tight” and “loose” cultures. It's a conversation that helps illuminate some of the invisible forces of culture, and also sheds light on how understanding these forces helps us better navigate the world. We hope you'll take another listen and enjoy. Have a question for Russ? Send it our way in writing or via voice memo, and it might be featured on an upcoming episode.

Preet and Millie's love story began with a chance meeting at Melbourne's Botanical Gardens in 2014. A decade later, they are happily married, raising two children, and embracing both Punjabi and Chinese traditions. This Valentine's Day, they share their story with SBS Punjabi—how they navigate cultural differences, build a family, and the language Millie switches to when they argue. - ਹਰ ਸਾਲ ਦੁਨੀਆ ਦੇ ਵੱਖ-ਵੱਖ ਦੇਸ਼ਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਚਾਈਨੀਜ਼ ਲੂਨਰ ਯੀਅਰ (Lunar New Year)ਮਨਾਇਆ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ। ਦਿੱਲੀ 'ਚ ਜਨਮੇ ਅਤੇ ਵੱਡੇ ਹੋਏ ਪੰਜਾਬੀ 'ਪ੍ਰੀਤ ਹੰਸਪਾਲ' ਮੈਲਬਰਨ ਵਿੱਚ ਪਿਛਲੇ 9 ਸਾਲਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਇਹ ਲੂਨਰ ਯੀਅਰ ਮਨਾ ਰਹੇ ਹਨ। ਜਦੋਂ 'ਪ੍ਰੀਤ' ਨੇ ਪਹਿਲੀ ਵਾਰ ਚੀਨ 'ਚ ਜੰਮੀ 'ਮਿਲੀ' ਨੂੰ ਮੈਲਬਰਨ ਦੇ ਬੋਟੇਨਿਕਲ ਗਾਰਡਨ ਵਿੱਚ ਵੇਖਿਆ ਸੀ ਤਾਂ, ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੇ ਉਦੋਂ ਹੀ ਸੋਚ ਲਿਆ ਸੀ ਕਿ ਹੁਣ ਜ਼ਿੰਦਗੀ ਦਾ ਬਾਕੀ ਸਫਰ ਇਕੱਠਿਆਂ ਹੀ ਬਤੀਤ ਕਰਨਾ ਹੈ। ਇਸ ਜੋੜੇ ਦਾ ਸਫਰ ਹੁਣ ਸਾਲ 2025 ਵਿੱਚ ਪਹੁੰਚ ਚੁੱਕਿਆ ਹੈ ਅਤੇ ਇਸ ਵਾਰ ਦੇ ਲੂਨਰ ਯੀਅਰ ਬਾਰੇ 'ਪ੍ਰੀਤ' ਅਤੇ 'ਮਿਲੀ' ਨੇ ਐਸ ਬੀ ਐਸ ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਨਾਲ ਗੱਲਬਾਤ ਕੀਤੀ।

In this soul-stirring episode, we explore the profound journey of Sujala Shastry, who lost her mother to a brain tumor at age 11 in India. Her story illuminates the complex intersection of cultural silence, emotional isolation, and the transformative power of breaking generational patterns around grief.Key Takeaways:The impact of losing a mother in a joint family system that provided physical but not emotional support.How 20 years of survival mode led to disconnection, anxiety, and lost memories.The awakening that came with motherhood and the desire to heal generational trauma.The cultural dynamics of grief in Indian versus Western society.Finding one's voice and creating boundaries after decades of people-pleasing.The launch of her podcast "Discovering Journeys" as a platform for authentic connection.Sujala shares how one can be profoundly lonely even when surrounded by loving family, the importance of emotionally safe spaces in healing childhood loss, and how unprocessed grief affects identity formation and relationships. This episode will inspire the importance of taking steps toward healing sooner rather than later, not as a means to rush, emotionally bypass, or forget. Instead, one must immerse oneself in one's inner emotional world to truly feel the hurt and pain so that it can be transmuted to live as full of a life as possible.

Imagine packing your bags and moving out on your own at 19, only to discover the harsh realities of independence without a safety net. In this episode of the Father Factor Podcast, we venture into the nuanced world of parental enablement versus support, dissecting how these parenting styles shape childhood development and adult independence. We explore why some parents may unintentionally enable dependency by shielding their children from life's challenges, and we reflect on how supportive parenting can set the foundation for resilient, independent adults. Our discussion takes a global perspective, comparing American parental norms with those in Italy, where the norm of living with parents into adulthood invites a rethinking of what it means to be 'grown-up.'Adulthood comes with its own set of challenges, especially in today's economic climate. Rising costs and hyperinflation in the U.S. create hurdles for young adults striving for independence. Through a personal lens, the episode unpacks the cultural differences in perceptions of living with parents, contrasting the American pursuit of independence with Italian norms where staying at home is seen as a more accepted path. We share personal and cultural stories that highlight how these societal expectations influence the way young adults navigate their living situations, enabling listeners to gain insights into the complexities of economic and cultural impacts on family dynamics.The episode winds down with a rich tapestry of narratives that examine how cultural upbringing shapes family dynamics and personal growth. We bring in diverse stories, like Josh's insights into Middle Eastern family expectations and the balancing of collectivist and individualist values. Our conversation playfully touches on cultural nuances, like the spirited debate over fried catfish preferences, underscoring the significance of cultural traditions and humor in everyday life. As we conclude, we emphasize the vital role fathers play in their children's lives, encouraging listeners to approach parenting with positivity and cultural awareness.Support the show Keep in touch.Email: Brm2@fatherfactorpodcast.comFollow us on Instagram Like us on Facebookhttps://www.amazon.com/Searching-Dad-Effects-Fatherless-Overcome/dp/1934812129
