Drop the technical jargon. Instead, speak your audience's language.Language has power. And talking to your audience not as “marketer” but as someone who understands your customer's world is key. This means speaking to their cares, concerns and frustrations. Do this and your audience engagement will soar. In this episode, we're looking at a show that literally speaks its audience's languages: Spanish and English. It's Apple TV's first bilingual comedy, Acapulco, a show that has been recognized by the Imagen Foundation for its meaningful portrayal of latinos in the media. And together with the help of our special guest, Head of Americas Marketing, Cristina Daroca, we talk about showing the outcome first, speaking your audience's language, choosing a visually stunning setting, and more. So grab your sunglasses for this episode of Remarkable.About our guest, Cristina DarocaCristina Daroca is Senior Director of Global Demand and Americas Marketing at Riverbed Technology. She joined Aternity in July of 2020 as Director of Global Demand Generation, and the company merged with Riverbed in December of 2021.

Riverbed is headquartered in San Francisco, but they have lots of employees in the Boston area because of an acquisition.About AcapulcoAcapulco is a TV show about a 20-something Mexican guy named Maximo who gets the job of his dreams working at a luxury resort in Acapulco. But then he finds out that it's much more complicated than he expected. His new co-workers refuse to show him the ropes, the guests are super demanding, and he finds that it creates challenges at home. The story is told in flashbacks by an older Maximo who has clearly had a successful career, as he's now living in a beautiful seaside house, looking back on his beginnings. The show stars Eugenio Derbez as the mature Maximo Gallardo, and young Maximo is played by Enrique Arrizon. Maximo's best friend, Memo, who he works with at Las Colinas is played by Fernando Carsa. His boss, Don Pablo, is played by Damian Alcazar. And his love interest, Julia, is played by Camila Perez.It premiered in 2021, with two seasons out on Apple TV, and a third on the way. And it's been nominated for the Critics Choice Awards, Hollywood Critics Association Television Awards, Imagen Foundation Awards, and more. It's Apple TV's first Spanish bilingual comedy.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Acapulco:Show the outcome first. Customers want to hear about results. Then you can support those results with details of how you help them get there. It's like how In Acapulco, we meet an older, wealthy Maximo who tells his story in flashbacks of how he became successful. Ian says, “A lot of times, we'll say 10 X ROI, here's your case study. But if we get the story element at the beginning part of it using flashbacks, you can tell a story that's gripping from the moment you dig into it.“ And Cristina adds, “Sometimes I think we get too hung up on, ‘What's the pain that the customer is feeling? What's the problem like?' Let's paint a picture of what the end state looks like for them, and then walk them through, ‘This is how you get there.'” Give your audience a glimpse of their future after they've been using your product to grab their attention.Speak your audience's language. Cristina says, “Especially in B2B, we tend to be very buttoned up and using fancy words. And hey, we're talking to humans. It's so important in marketing to know your customer's language, to use the language they're using to really speak the way they do.” She says that's why Acapulco really resonates with her as a bilingual Spanish and English speaker. Choose a visually stunning setting. 80s Acapulco was a beautiful and evocative place that had cachet as a celebrity vacation spot. This is hugely important, because Ian says, “If you were to tell the same story in Finland in the winter, for example, it would feel extremely different than telling the story in Acapulco in the 80s. It's another piece that we often don't think of setting when we do our marketing stories, because we're in an office. Setting is so important and we don't think about it enough in B2B marketing.”Capitalize on the resources you have. Everyone is working on tight budgets with limited resources. But Cristina says, “We can control what we have and what we can make out of it, and how we can make it a good experience for our customers, for our guests, for the audience that we're serving.” Maximo came from humble beginnings, having been raised by a single mother. But he used what resources he did have to find success. So focus on doing your best work with what you have.Quotes*”It's so important in marketing to know your customer's language. To use the language they're using to really speak the way they do. Especially in B2B. We tend to be very buttoned up and use fancy words. And hey, we're talking to humans. They're also humans. They're talking the same language. So yeah, just really understand your customers, know how they speak and use that same language with them.” - Cristina Daroca*”This is what it is. The economy is what it is. It's all out of our control. We can't really control the budget cuts, the team cuts. What we can control is what we have and what we can make out of it. And how we can make it a good experience for our customers, for our guests, for the audience that we're serving.” - Cristina DarocaTime Stamps[0:55] Meet Cristina Daroca, Head of Americas Marketing at Riverbed[1:50] Why are we talking about Acapulco?[2:19] What does Cristina's work at Riverbed entail?[2:59] What is Acapulco about?[6:05] Why is it important to speak your audience's language?[6:53] About the setting of Acapulco[14:08] What are marketing lessons we can take from Acapulco?[22:01] How does Cristina think about marketing at Riverbed?[24:17] How does Cristina prove the ROI of content?[25:08] What marketing strategy has worked well for Cristina in the past?[26:10] Learn more about Riverbed's roadshow[32:12] What advice would Cristina give to other marketers?LinksWatch AcapulcoConnect with Cristina on LinkedInLearn more about RiverbedAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

Irish-based data science and AI startup Zerve has raised $3.8 million in its pre-seed funding to build a new architecture for Data Science & AI development. The company has created a coding platform tailored for data science and AI development that allows teams to collaborate and share their outputs more easily. Zerve's cloud-based, serverless technology utilizes a novel, stateful architecture to create a scalable, collaborative development environment. The tool helps break down the silos that can exist between data scientists and developers. Zerve was co-founded in 2021, by college friends Phily Hayes (ex-LearnUpon and Deloitte) and Jason Hillary, PhD, Engineering, and later joined by Greg Michaelson, former Chief Customer Officer of DataRobot. The company is currently one of ten startups chosen from Europe to participate in Intel's Ignite Accelerator program for deep-tech companies. Since 2019, the 148 companies that have gone through the programme have raised over 1.6bn. Phily Hayes, CEO & co-founder of Zerve said, "Data scientists have never really been able to seamlessly share both their code and their results with their colleagues. The existing tools available are fragmented. It makes it hard to be productive. With Zerve, all the teams can collaborate live and build something stable enough to deploy. In much the same way as Figma made design collaborative, Zerve is poised to bring this innovation in the data science coding space." Greg Michaelson, co-founder of Zerve said, "Zerve brings about an architectural paradigm shift. We're dedicated to building Zerve to not only enhance the capabilities of data science but also to empower data scientists to deliver effortlessly in the era of AI." Elkstone Ventures (Flipdish, LetsGetChecked, Manna) led the funding round, with contributions from prominent angel investors, such as Sean Mullaney, CTO of Algolia, and Rob Hickey, former EVP of Engineering at DataRobot. Niall McEvoy, Partner at Elkstone Ventures said, "Zerve has an ambitious vision of bridging the gap between data science and AI development. The team has built a technology that will really allow companies to break down silos and harness the power of AI and data science and has the potential to do to data science what Figma did for design". Zerve currently has 12 employees and aims to hire across Engineering, Cloud Infrastructure, and Research and Development. See more stories here.

The goal of making AI more accessible to students and educators alike, fostering interest in AI among young people, and encouraging diverse voices in the field.Surprising Takeaways A surprising takeaway from the discussions is that within a short period, students can build their first AI model without any coding involved. Another unexpected insight is that despite initial fears or apprehensions about teaching AI, it's possible for educators to start small and gradually build up their knowledge base.Emerging PatternsImportance of demystifying AI for both teachers and studentsEmphasis on hands-on learning and problem-solvingUse of real-world applications of AI to engage student interestEncouragement of diversity within the fieldRecognition of everyone's role in shaping how technology evolvesKey Moments"We believed that we will reach a point which we are currently at where, you know, everybody…is going to need to become A I literate." "All students build their first A I in their first class… they've talked to it…" "I think it is scary and it is a bit overwhelming… I would encourage people to jump in with something small." "[AI] is important for people personally. It's important as teachers… And also important for humanity that every human says something because someone's gonna make these decisions."

What is feature engineering is and why/to whom it matters? A topic that commonly comes up in relation to feature engineering is the importance of a feature store. What are the tradeoffs for that to be a separate infrastructure/architecture component? What is the overall lifecycle of a feature, from definition to deployment and maintenance? How is this distinct from other forms of data pipeline development and delivery? Who are the participants in that workflow? What are the sharp edges/roadblocks that typically manifest in that lifecycle? What are the interfaces that are needed for data scientists/ML engineers to be able to self-serve their feature management? What is the role of the data engineer in supporting those interfaces? What are the communication/collaboration channels that are necessary to make the overall process a success? From an implementation/architecture perspective, what are the patterns that you have seen teams build around for feature development/serving? What are the most interesting, innovative, or unexpected ways that you have seen feature platforms used? What are the most interesting, unexpected, or challenging lessons that you have learned while working on feature engineering? What are the resources that you find most helpful in understanding and designing feature platforms?

Is Bubba Wallace the new Danica Patrick? Way to ruin what little credibility you had left, schmuck. We prefer Jim Brown - R.I.P., big guy. We also prefer Richard Jewell (speaking of R.I.P.), whom this episode somehow commingles with the Unabomber (who will probably not be resting peacefully, if you catch our drift). Then it's all experts and flying SFPD patrol cars and NYC suing carmakers who don't make cars that can survive the city's criminals, plus not blowing people up. Don't worry, there's more, like a complete “16 Volt” background track, journalists behaving badly, “Escape from New York”, “Invasion USA”, Kurt Russell, Chuck Norris, Lee Van Cleef, Mac 10s, and more corruption in Quid Pro Joe's basement.

Prior to BedRock Systems Sean served as the Public Sector CTO at DataRobot, a Silicon Valley Artificial Intelligence Platform. In government, Sean served as the Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Cybersecurity, Energy Security, and Emergency Response at the Department of Energy. In this role he led the design and implementation of DOE's cybersecurity supply chain program CyTRICS. Mr. Plankey also served on the National Security Council as the Director for Maritime and Pacific Cybersecurity Policy, where he co-authored the National Maritime Cybersecurity Plan and multiple Presidential Directives on offensive cyberspace operations. He has also served as the Global Cyber Intelligence Advisor for BP plc, and as the Deputy Chief Information Officer for U.S. Navy Intelligence. He is a 2003 graduate of the United States Coast Guard Academy and a 2008 graduate of the University of Pennsylvania.In this episode, Aaron and Sean Plankey discuss:How do we protect critical infrastructure? The potential risk of public EV charging stations What kind of technology might people invest in? Understanding our supply chains and economic dependenciesKey Takeaways:The majority of the critical infrastructure in the U.S. is owned by the private selector. Therefore, cyber security in critical infrastructures is semi-regulated. Meaning, any changes made will need the collaboration of both government and the private sector.The installation of public EV charging stations along roads requires careful consideration of cybersecurity concerns. The connection between the charging stations, electric vehicles, computers, networks, and physical grid creates potential risks, such as fire hazard, reliability issues with the grid and other issues. When facing a limited budget, the decision between investing in efficiency optimization versus cybersecurity often results in a focus on efficiency. Unfortunately, cybersecurity is often perceived as a cost and its benefits may not be as tangible or easily understood.Currently, the U.S. is granting adversary space in our digital terrain. It poses a lot of risk for us to be the customer of an adversary. We have to know our customers and look more into our economic dependencies. "Now you have access and you have a myriad of connectivity. And you're doing that analysis in the fog. Asset management is very difficult and that's where we need to bring that security. We'll continue to see that increasing IT/OT convergence in the fog. And that's where we protect.

In this episode of the Thoughtful Entrepreneur, your host Josh Elledge speaks to the Founder and CEO ofhttps://greenerprocess.com/ ( )https://www.trustscience.com/ (Trust Science), https://www.linkedin.com/in/evanchrapko/ (Evan Chrapko). Trust Science aid preexisting data scientists or risk departments in assessing borrowers' profiles. They can be the entire solution for smaller businesses or those who have never had experience working with a bureau before because of low score levels. They bring automation and automated decision-making in a high degree of predictability on creditworthiness. Evan gave out some indicators of what to look at when assessing an individual's creditworthiness. He also talked through the challenges in the conventional system and how Trust Science comes into play to close the gap. Working with the Trust Science system helps their customers find a lender customer worldwide. Key points from the episode: What industry does Trust Science work with? Why are old formula credits a bit problematic? Indicators to look at to assess creditworthiness. How did Trust Science come about? Business growth opportunities for Trust Science. About Evan Chrapko: Evan is a serial entrepreneur and investor having served as CEO or advisor for numerous innovative start-ups including FloNetworks (acquired by DoubleClick for $80 Million) and PlateSpin (acquired by Novell for $205 Million). Prior to Trust Science, Evan and his brother Shane founded and, within 30 months, sold cloud storage pioneer DocSpace for $568 million. Evan is a CPA, CA and holds a Juris Doctor (Law Degree) from Columbia University. He is a Henry Crown Fellow of the Aspen Institute, a member of YPO, and he has been named to the Real Leaders Global 100 (alongside Bill Gates, Richard Branson, Elon Musk, Peter Diamandi,s et. al.) and a Top 50 AI CEO (alongside others like the CEO of Data Robot.) About Trust Science: Organizations in many industries rely on credit scores to gauge amounts and types of credit that they will offer to an individual. Those scores purport to provide meaningful information about how much debt a person should be able to take on and what the level of risk (the borrower's probability of default) will be. However, the information from old credit bureaus isn't always deep enough for a meaningful assessment, in part because it relies on outdated types of data & calculation methods. This is especially punishing for the financially disadvantaged or N2C (New to Country/New to Credit) person. Credit Bureau 2.0, a FinTech SaaS platform, is the solution to this problem, harnessing alternative data and explainable AI for more accurate and precise credit assessments. This is enabling lenders to find more trustworthy borrowers and letting borrowers gain access to credit based on information that traditional credit bureaus aren't taking into account.

Read the full transcriptHow can we change the way we think about expertise (or the trustworthiness of any information source) using forecasting? How do prediction markets work? How can we use prediction markets in our everyday lives? Are prediction markets more trustworthy than large or respectable news outlets? How long does it take to sharpen one's prediction skills? In (e.g.) presidential elections, we know that the winner will be one person from a very small list of people; but how can we reasonably make predictions in cases where the outcomes aren't obviously multiple-choice (e.g., predicting when artificial general intelligence will be created)? How can we move from the world we have now to a world in which people think more quantitatively and make much better predictions? What scoring rules should we use to keep track of our predictions and update accordingly?Peter Wildeford is the co-CEO of Rethink Priorities, where he aims to scalably employ a large number of well-qualified researchers to work on the world's most important problems. Prior to running Rethink Priorities, he was a data scientist in industry for five years at DataRobot, Avant, Clearcover, and other companies. He is also recognized as a Top 50 Forecaster on Metaculus (international forecasting competition) and has a Triple Master Rank on Kaggle (international data science competition) with top 1% performance in five different competitions.
