Mark explains the fundamental differences between Amazon's intent-based selling and Shopify's cold traffic environment, emphasizing the need for brand storytelling. He challenges the common obsession with ROAS, introducing the "holy trinity" of metrics: Customer Acquisition Cost, Lifetime Value, and Average Order Value. Mark also highlights the importance of retention marketing and authentic customer relationships, sharing real success and failure stories to illustrate how strategy, not tactics, drives sustainable e-commerce growth.Here are the 3 action items that Josh identified from this episode:Shift from “conversion” to “connection” Stop treating Shopify like Amazon. Build demand through storytelling, content, and brand experience—optimize for trust and engagement before expecting conversions.Scale with the right metrics (not ROAS) Track and optimize your CAC:LTV:AOV triangle. Aim for a 1:3 CAC:LTV ratio, and be willing to accept lower short-term ROAS to acquire high-value customers.Increase AOV + retention to unlock profit Bundle products, upsell, and improve post-purchase experience.

There is a saying in Spanish: get burned by hot milk, and the sight of a cow makes you cry. New research implies that, decades after a populist government leaves office, the central bank it once tried to control is still flinching.Martín Uribe (Columbia) and Nicolás Magud (IMF) have investigated the long-run effect of populist governments that leaned on their central banks to print money and feed inflation. They find that these central banks raise interest rates more aggressively than others when inflation drifts above target, even decades later.This is the second of four episodes drawn from papers commissioned for the second Economic Policy: Papers on European and Global Issues conference, organised by CEPR, CESifo and Sciences Po.The research behind this episode:Jácome, Luis, Nicolás E. Magud, Samuel Pienknagura, and Martín Uribe. 2026. "Fiscal Populism and Monetary Policy Rules." Conference draft, presented at the 2nd Economic Policy: Papers on European and Global Issues Conference, Venice, 19-20 June 2026. Forthcoming in Economic Policy.To cite this episode:Phillips, Tim, Martín Uribe, and Nicolás E. Magud. 2026. "Fiscal Populism and Monetary Policy." VoxTalks Economics (podcast).About the guestsMartin Uribe is the Robert A. Mundell Professor of Economics at Columbia University and a Research Associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research. His research spans international macroeconomics and the theory of monetary and fiscal policy, with recent work on tariff shocks, fiscal dominance, and the long-run legacy of high inflation on how central banks set policy. He is editor-in-chief of the Journal of International Economics.Nicolás E. Magud is a Senior Economist in the International Monetary Fund's Western Hemisphere Department. His research spans open-economy macroeconomics, with a focus on fiscal policy, exchange rates, capital flows, and capital controls, much of it drawn from Latin America's long experience of inflation and central bank reform.Research cited in this episodeThe populist leaders database. Funke, Manuel, Moritz Schularick, and Christoph Trebesch. 2023. "Populist Leaders and the Economy." American Economic Review 113 (12): 3249-88. The authors classify a leader as populist if their rhetoric splits society into "the people" against "the elites," then divide populists into left-wing, whose target is economic elites, and right-wing, whose target is foreigners and minorities. Deficit monetisation and "unpleasant monetarist arithmetic." Sargent, Thomas J., and Neil Wallace. 1981. "Some Unpleasant Monetarist Arithmetic." Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis Quarterly Review 5 (3). The paper that established the mechanism this episode turns on: when a government's deficit is financed by its own central bank printing money rather than by selling bonds to the public, the result is inflation. It gives the paper's account of populism and central bank credit its theoretical backbone.Local projections difference-in-differences. Dube, Arindrajit, Daniele Girardi, Oscar Jorda , and Alan M. Taylor. 2025. "A Local Projections Approach to Difference-in-Differences." Journal of Applied Econometrics 40 (7): 741-58. The statistical method behind the paper's headline charts. It compares countries that have just installed a populist government against "clean" control countries with no recent populist history, tracking central bank credit year by year after the change of regime.The Central Bank Independence Extended (CBIE) index. Romelli, Davide. 2022. "The Political Economy of Reforms in Central Bank Design: Evidence from a New Dataset." Economic Policy 37 (112): 641-88. A dataset scoring central bank laws on their independence, including limits on lending to government. The paper uses it to show that countries with a populist past, especially a left-wing one, now have stricter legal limits on central bank lending than countries with no such history.Argentina, Chile, and Mexico. The paper's three historical case studies. In Argentina, governments from Perón onward repeatedly rewrote central bank law to permit financing of the treasury, contributing to repeated bouts of high inflation and, eventually, hyperinflation in the 1980s. In Chile, the Allende government printed money to fund an expansion of the state, and inflation reached roughly 600% in 1973 before the government was overthrown. In Mexico, President EcheverrÃa's public investment drive in the 1970s was financed in part by the central bank, feeding an inflation and currency crisis that culminated in the country's 1982 default. Uribe and Magud point to these episodes as the historical template their statistical results describe.Related reading on VoxEUCentral bank independence: An update, a VoxEU column in which Sylvester Eijffinger and Jakob de Haan argue that legal independence alone does not shield a central bank from political pressure to loosen policy.Recent trends in central bank independence, in which Davide Romelli, whose index this paper uses to track legal independence, documents a fresh wave of reforms strengthening central banks worldwide since 2016.

What does it take to give people a meaningful voice in environmental decision-making? In this episode of People, Places, Planet, host Natalie Triana, joined by ELI Senior Attorney Kristine Perry, explore two landmark regional instruments: the UNECE Convention on Access to Information, Public Participation in Decision-making and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters (Aarhus Convention) and the Regional Agreement on Access to Information, Public Participation and Justice in Environmental Matters in Latin America and the Caribbean (Escazú Agreement.) They're joined by Jonas Ebbesson (Stockholm Environmental Law and Policy Centre) and Patricia Madrigal Cordero (Chair of the Committee to Support Implementation and Compliance of the Escazú Agreement). The conversation begins with the origins of the Aarhus Convention and the Escazú Agreement. Both instruments are based on three main pillars: access to environmental information, public participation in decision-making, and access to justice. The guests unpack what those rights look like in practice and how the two instruments have influenced one another over time. The discussion then turns to implementation and compliance, drawing on Jonas and Patricia's experience serving on the Aarhus and Escazú compliance committees. They discuss how these bodies work, the challenge of building trust with governments while holding them accountable, and some of the successes and challenges of putting environmental rights into practice. The episode also explores the recognition of environmental defenders, including the Escazú Agreement's explicit protections for defenders and the protections that have evolved under the Aarhus Convention. This episode is part of a series of episodes related to ELI's work on environmental and land defenders.

AI can be an incredible tool for organizing your thoughts—but can it replace an experienced real estate attorney? Richard Crouch, a commercial real estate attorney with more than two decades of experience, explains why experience still matters when navigating complex real estate transactions. AI can help review information and suggest language, but it doesn't have the real-world experience of seeing deals go wrong, understanding the practical consequences of contract language, or recognizing the nuances that can create problems later. In commercial real estate, a provision that looks perfectly clear on paper can have very different consequences in practice. That's why having an experienced attorney who understands the business—not just the legal language—can make a major difference. For real estate investors and sponsors, the goal isn't to avoid technology. It's to know where technology can help—and where experience, judgment, and expertise are still essential.

Welcome to Marriage Undressed—a live Q&A where Dan Purcell and marriage coach Tammy Camp answer real, anonymous questions about sex, intimacy, and marriage. In this bonus episode, they discuss what to do when one spouse wants more adventure in the bedroom, how to express a desire without creating pressure, and how to handle differences in physical affection without constantly feeling rejected. They also answer candid questions about oral sex, including whether it's necessary for a fulfilling sex life and what to do when one spouse wants it but the other feels uncomfortable. Finally, they discuss rebuilding play and healthy desire when pornography has affected a marriage. Throughout the conversation, Dan and Tammy return to one central principle: great intimacy isn't created by pressuring your spouse to become more like you. It grows when both spouses have the freedom to be honest, make real choices, and create a sexual relationship that belongs to both of them. Want to submit your own anonymous question?

When supporting neurodivergent kids, adults often struggle to balance when to gently challenge a child and when to pull back to prevent nervous system overload. Pushing too hard risks chronic distress and shutdown, but overprotecting can unintentionally create learned helplessness and limit opportunities for growth. Emily welcomes Dr. Emily King, a child psychologist, former school psychologist, and author of The Neurodivergent Learner, to talk about how parents and educators can work together to read a child's true capacity and build authentic engagement in school and at home. TAKEAWAYS Determining whether to challenge or accommodate a student depends on reading their real-time nervous system capacity, daily stamina, and baseline emotional regulation. Distinguishing between learned helplessness and true defeat requires looking at a child's underlying mood rather than just their surface-level task avoidance. Differences in how a child behaves at home versus school provide important clues about their masking demands, relationship safety, and sensory fatigue across environments. Meaningful parent-teacher partnerships focus on cross-checking patterns and discovering what already works in one setting to replicate that success in another. Special interests should be honored as tools for genuine emotional expression and connection rather than used as behavioral leverage to force compliance. Effective school advocacy thrives on frequent, informal check-ins about everyday strategies rather than waiting solely for formal annual meetings. Get the pre-order bonus for Dr. King's new book. Mental health clinicians: Telling a child about a new diagnosis can feel like navigating a minefield, but it doesn't have to. We're hosting a training with Dr. Liz Angoff, called Explaining a Diagnosis to Kids in a Neurodiversity-Affirming Way, on Friday, September 11th from 2:00 to 3:30 Eastern. The course is worth 1.5 continuing education hours, and is approved through both the APA and NBCC. You'll learn how to replace pathologizing jargon with empowering, neurodiversity-affirming language that builds self-advocacy and resilience. Register for this course today. Dr. Emily King is a child psychologist with more than 20 years of experience supporting neurodivergent learners and their families. She earned her Ph.D. in School Psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and began her career providing school-based mental health services in K–12 public schools in Houston, Texas. She now works in private practice in North Carolina, specializing in the mental health, executive functioning, and social-emotional needs of neurodivergent youth. Dr. Emily is the creator of The Neurodiverse Classroom®, a professional development curriculum for educators, and the author of The Neurodivergent Learner. She also hosts Learn with Dr. Emily on Substack, where she shares parent workshops, resources, and practical strategies to help families and educators better support neurodivergent children and teens.

Online education has never been easier to access. You can learn almost anything through YouTube, Udemy, online communities, independent creators, coaches, and specialized training programs. Access isn't the problem anymore. Trust is. There's a big difference between spending $10 on a course and investing $2,000, $5,000, or more in a mentor, mastermind, or coaching program. When the investment gets larger, a five-star testimonial on a sales page doesn't cut it. In this episode of Building Better Developers, Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche talk with Amit Zandberg about the challenge of creating trustworthy AI course reviews and helping people evaluate online mentors and high-ticket educational programs. The conversation quickly moves beyond online courses into a bigger question: Can AI help us establish trust, or does it make the trust problem even harder? About Amit Zandberg Amit Zandberg is an entrepreneur focused on bringing greater trust and transparency to online education. Through his work building a review platform for online mentors, creators, courses, and high-ticket educational programs, Amit is tackling a growing problem in the creator economy: helping potential students determine whether an expensive program is actually a good fit before they invest. His approach combines detailed learner feedback with AI-assisted analysis to identify patterns, pros and cons, mentor quality, learning experiences, and results while also addressing the growing challenge of fake and AI-generated reviews. Amit's work sits at the intersection of online education, entrepreneurship, artificial intelligence, consumer trust, and the creator economy. His experience provides a practical look at both sides of AI: using it to make businesses more efficient while building safeguards around the new problems AI can create. The Problem With High-Ticket Online Education Reviews exist almost everywhere. Before buying software, booking a hotel, choosing a restaurant, or ordering a product, we expect to find them. High-ticket online education works differently. A creator can spend months building an audience on LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube. Eventually, they launch a coaching program, mastermind, or specialized course—and someone who's been consuming free content is suddenly asked to spend thousands of dollars. Amit ran into this problem himself. The issue isn't necessarily whether the mentor is good or bad. A highly rated mentor can still be the wrong mentor for you. Instead of asking: "Is this course good?" A better question is: "Is this course good for someone with my goals, experience, expectations, and problems?" That takes a lot more than a star rating to answer. Better Reviews Require Context Amit's approach favors detailed reviews over short comments. "This course was great" doesn't tell a potential student much. A useful review explains the person's situation, the problem they were solving, what they experienced, and what results they received. Context changes the value of a review—and what AI can do with it. Instead of asking reviewers to produce structured data by hand, Amit's approach is to collect detailed human experiences and use AI to extract useful information such as: Common pros and cons Patterns across multiple reviews Who a program may be best suited for The learning experience Results reported by students Mentor quality Differences between positive and negative experiences The goal isn't simply for AI to write another summary. It's to turn a large collection of human experiences into information a potential buyer can actually use. AI Should Analyze the Evidence, Not Replace It This became one of the more interesting parts of our conversation. AI can process hundreds of reviews much faster than a person can. But feeding those reviews into a model and simply asking, "Is this course good?" creates another trust problem. What did the model prioritize? Did it lean too heavily on recent reviews? Did negative experiences get buried? Did it exaggerate positive feedback? Did it reach conclusions the underlying reviews didn't actually support? Amit's approach breaks the analysis into specific parameters rather than relying on one generalized AI-generated summary. That's a useful lesson for anyone building AI-enabled products: Don't ask AI to make one giant judgment when you can have it analyze smaller, measurable pieces of information. AI works better as an analytical layer over the evidence than as a replacement for the evidence itself. The Fake Review Problem Gets Harder With AI If AI can analyze reviews, it can also create them. Fake reviews aren't new. Businesses have been gaming review platforms for years. Generative AI simply lowers the amount of effort required to produce convincing content. Someone could potentially generate dozens of realistic-looking reviews in minutes. That means review platforms need multiple signals to determine what's legitimate. Amit described several approaches his platform uses or is developing, including detailed review questions that increase the effort required to submit feedback, account requirements that make it harder to create mass fake identities, and timing analysis that can identify suspicious activity, such as a sudden burst of positive reviews. His team also uses AI-related detection techniques and manual review when activity appears suspicious. In some cases, reviewers can be contacted directly and asked to provide additional verification that they actually purchased a program. None of these methods guarantees authenticity on its own. Together, however, they increase the cost and difficulty of manipulating the system. Security Often Comes From Layers Amit compared the strategy to preventing theft in a store. A determined person may still find a way around an individual safeguard, but stores don't rely on one control. They use cameras, employees, alarms, inventory controls, security tags, and other signals. The goal isn't necessarily to make theft mathematically impossible. It's to make manipulation difficult enough that it becomes rare—and detectable enough that a small amount of bad data doesn't overwhelm the legitimate information. The same principle applies to AI systems. We often search for the perfect AI detector, perfect security control, or perfect validation rule. It usually doesn't exist. Resilient systems combine multiple imperfect controls. Use AI to Make Humans Faster Amit's company also uses AI internally, not just in the customer-facing product. AI helps collect and organize information, summarize large amounts of review data, analyze SEO information, and identify areas that need human attention. Work that previously required hours of manual effort can be significantly reduced. That's where many businesses can find immediate value from AI. The right question usually isn't: "How can AI replace this job?" A better question is: "Which repetitive parts of this job can AI handle so the person can spend more time making decisions?" That's augmentation rather than replacement. For many organizations, it's also a safer and more productive path toward AI adoption. Testing AI Means Testing the Business Too As a QA professional, Michael pushed the conversation toward another important question: How do you know the system is actually working? That's not just an AI testing question. It's a business testing question. For a platform built around search traffic, reviews, and user behavior, success depends on a stack of assumptions. Will people search for a mentor before buying? Will they click? Will they trust the information? Will they stay on the site? Will the review data actually help them make a decision? Will AI analysis make the experience better, or will it simply add another layer of technology? Some of those answers take time, particularly when SEO is involved. Amit described an iterative approach: make an assumption, measure what happens, determine whether it works, and then move forward or try again. It's simple to describe, but it's one of the most important habits in both software development and entrepreneurship. Don't Automate an Assumption You Haven't Validated AI makes building fast. That's useful. It also makes it remarkably easy to scale the wrong idea. Before automating a process, ask whether the process itself works. Before scaling content, determine whether people actually want it. Before trusting an AI summary, determine whether the underlying information is trustworthy. And before spending thousands of dollars on a mentor, make sure you understand enough about the subject—and yourself—to recognize whether that mentor can actually deliver something valuable. Technology can make decisions faster. The foundation still matters: Good data. Clear assumptions. Real validation. Human judgment. Those become more important, not less, as AI becomes easier to use.

232. Key Differences Between Visibility and Self-Promotion In this episode of the Visibility Factor Podcast, Sue Barber discusses the critical distinction between visibility and self-promotion, emphasizing the importance of strategic visibility in leadership. She explores how individuals can authentically communicate their value and capabilities to enhance their visibility within their organizations. The conversation highlights the need for leaders to demonstrate their decision-making processes, collaboration, and business impact to gain recognition and trust from their leadership teams. Sue encourages listeners to take actionable steps to improve their visibility and prepare for future opportunities. Key Takeaways Self-promotion focuses on getting noticed, while visibility is about demonstrating value. Strategic visibility is essential for career advancement and organizational clarity. Authenticity in communication is crucial for effective visibility. Leaders must communicate how they achieve results and why they matter. Demonstrating decision-making and collaboration is key to visibility. Visibility is not about seeking attention but about creating understanding. Preparation for unexpected challenges enhances visibility. Transparency in leadership behaviors fosters trust and recognition. Regularly sharing insights and processes can improve visibility. Taking small steps can lead to significant improvements in visibility. Connect with Susan M. Barber If this episode resonated with you, share it with another leader who would benefit!

This Friday I'm sitting down with my friend Rick Ferri for a debate that I think matters a great deal, even though — or maybe because — Rick and I agree on almost everything. We both believe in diversification, low costs, index funds, ignoring predictions, and staying the course. Where we part ways is what happens after that.Rick's case is that you should simply own the whole market. A total stock market index fund gives you thousands of companies at an extraordinarily low cost, and adding complexity rarely pays. My case is that the academic research — Fama, French, and decades of market history — shows that greater exposure to small and value companies may raise long-term expected returns. Rick calls that factor tilting. I call it better diversification. He'll argue I'm not adding diversification at all, just changing the weights, and he's right that this is exactly what we're doing. The question is whether it's worth doing.We also take on a second question that gets far too little attention: if you do want small and value exposure, where should you get it? Vanguard, Fidelity, DFA or Avantis — traditional indexing or systematic portfolio management? Differences that look trivial today can compound into very large ones over 40 or 50 years.Neither of us is trying to win. Rick may be right. I may be right. Ask us again in 50 years. What I hope you take away is the process — examining evidence, understanding the alternatives, admitting what nobody knows, and committing to a strategy you can stick with. Because every strategy disappoints you eventually, and what you do in that moment matters more than which one you chose.The podcast and video of my conversation with Rick will be available Wednesday, August 19, 2026.

Can a Catholic marry a baptized non-Catholic or a non-baptized person? Fr. Mike breaks down the Church's teaching on mixed marriages and disparity of cult.
