In this episode, Kathryn chats with Llibert Argerich, CMO at Thumbtack. They discuss Thumbtack's mission to connect homeowners with professionals, how the company leverages vast data resources to enhance user experience, the use of AI for personalized customer interactions, the importance of data governance, and the benefits of symbiotic partnerships with brands. Llibert also emphasizes the need for marketers to embrace change and leverage AI to increase productivity and efficiency. Guest Quote:“We have so many open fronts with AI…Traditional search is really telling us, I need an electrician. And then we make the matching on the backend with electricians, but you don't always know that's an electrician that you need. So allowing customers to really state their problems in a way that is natural, whether that's long query strings or uploading an image, uploading a video, and having AI  understand that and then making the right assumptions, connections, and ultimately connecting with a pro, that's a big, big, improvement and I think forward that we're basically just working on right now to really help customers get to that right solution with minimal effort.” Episode Breakdown: [01:49] Alchemy Unveiled: Navigating a two-sided marketplaceOn Thumbtack, there is a two-sided marketplace connecting homeowners to local pros and vice versa. By leveraging a blend of first-party and third-party data, including behavioral insights and property details, Thumbtack personalizes both the user experience and communications, making it easier for homeowners to find the right professional for their needs and for pros to grow their businesses.[11:12] Nuggets to Campaign Gold: Marrying seasonal moments with customer needsThumbtack's seasonal campaigns align with key home maintenance periods, like spring cleaning, and are tailored to individual homeowner needs based on their living situations and preferences.

Navigating Sales Tax in E-CommerceIn a recent episode of "The Thoughtful Entrepreneur," host Josh delves into the intricate world of sales tax compliance with Jason Parr, the CEO of Peisner Johnson, also known as "The Sales Tax People." This episode is a must-listen for e-commerce businesses grappling with the complexities of sales tax, especially in the wake of the 2018 Supreme Court case "Wayfair vs. South Dakota." Below, we break down the key insights and actionable advice shared during the episode to help you navigate the often-confusing landscape of sales tax compliance.Josh kicks off the episode by inviting listeners to explore his free video resource, which offers insights into generating business leads and partnerships. He emphasizes his extensive experience, having conversed with over 2,000 business leaders, and encourages listeners to visit his website, Up My Influence, for more information. Jason Parr, CEO of Peisner Johnson, joins the conversation. With 33 years of experience, Peisner Johnson has honed its focus on sales tax compliance over the past six years. Jason's expertise provides a deep dive into the challenges and solutions surrounding sales tax for e-commerce businesses.The 2018 Supreme Court case "Wayfair vs. South Dakota" fundamentally changed the sales tax landscape. Prior to this ruling, businesses were only required to collect sales tax in states where they had a physical presence. The Wayfair decision established that businesses must now register and collect sales tax in states where they exceed certain sales thresholds, regardless of physical presence. This has significantly increased the complexity for e-commerce businesses, which may now have sales tax obligations in multiple states. Jason outlines three critical questions that every e-commerce business must consider to ensure sales tax compliance: Do I Have Nexus? Is What I Sell Taxable? Who is Selling the Product? Navigating sales tax can quickly become complicated, especially for rapidly expanding businesses.About Jason Parr:Jason has dedicated his career to helping companies find peace of mind when it comes to state and local tax (SALT), especially sales tax. He has been with Peisner Johnson, "The Sales Tax People", for 27 years. He currently serves as the President and CEO, and has deep experience with all services offered by Peisner Johnson. Having "grown up" in the SALT arena, he has gained an expertise on how to navigate the sales tax issues and processes that keep owners, tax professionals, trusted advisors, and CPAs up at night. Peisner Johnson focuses its efforts on helping companies manage sales tax compliance, including sales tax return services, nexus studies/risk assessments, and getting registered properly, as well as, due diligence related to M&As, audit defense, research, automation, and tax recovery services. Parr lives in Dallas, and he and his wife of 32 years have 6 married children and 12 grandchildren. He enjoys golf, racquetball, ultimate frisbee, and a new favorite - pickleball.About Peisner Johnson:Peisner Johnson, founded in 1992, is a state and local tax consulting firm with a clear mission: Solve clients' state tax problems. Because we focus exclusively on state and local taxes, we have developed a deep understanding of state tax issues. Our clients benefit from our extensive knowledge and experience and our client-first mentality.

 In the midst of a booming creator economy, where U.S. marketers are expected to shell out $7.14 billion on influencer marketing by the end of this year, according to Goldman Sachs Research, livestreaming platform Twitch is making a play for creator and advertiser attention, competing against other big tech platforms. Last year, the company was reported to have lost its way with the streaming community, which could be seen as its most valuable asset. At the same time, culture is changing, becoming more fragmented in a way where fewer monocultural moments exist. All said, it's harder than ever to keep people's attention, said Rachel Delphin, CMO at Twitch. “Attention feels so divided and it also feels really short as a person, but also as a professional,” she said on the most recent episode of the Digiday Podcast. “Creating content and programs that really capture attention to the point where people want to engage with it, share it, comment on it, that's a really high bar.” On this week's Digiday Podcast, Delphin talks about Twitch's plans to stay in the cultural zeitgeist all while keeping attention from creators and advertisers in a fragmented digital marketplace.

Sabine VdL talks to Pravina Ladva, Group Chief Digital and Technology Officer at Swiss Re. Pravina's career reads like a playbook for digital transformation and has answers that could redefine the way we look at insurance economics. This conversation is not just timely, it's urgently needed in a world where data is the new oil and AI is the new electricity. Pravina tells us about why Swiss Re is taking the lead with its groundbreaking Sigma Research Report from the Swiss Re Institute, what are we – as an industry – standing to gain or lose, uncovering the blueprints for the future of insurance, digital risk, and how technology could either be the ladder or the snake in this high-stakes game of digital transformation. KEY TAKEAWAYS          Today you can't turn a corner without talking about AI, tech and data. This means there's a huge amount of opportunity that's been untapped. There are a whole load of new business models that we haven't even dreamed of yet.  Digitisation is taking the analogue world and putting it into a digital system so that it can be transmitted around the world both in terms of data and conversation in a digital context as opposed to a paper context. Digitalisation is how you take that information and apply it to your business processes. Many organisations deal with some kind of legacy technology, you need to be aware of you digital environment and work within that as well as what are the opportunities to change it and where some of it is OK, because not all legacy is bad.  BEST MOMENTS ‘If you type digitisation and digitalisation the come up together on autocorrect, it shows we really have a mixed view on what they both are and mean.'‘Every one of my peers that I speak to are all facing the same challenge: There is a war for talent because we all want the same kind of people to come and do similar kinds of things.'‘No organisation on its own can achieve what it wants to achieve, you need to be very open minded about who you're partnering with, whether that's InsurTechs, large global service providers, whoever it is in the end-to-end ecosystem to really bring the value in the right way.'‘It's not about your core technology, it's about what you do with it and how you operate it that makes a difference.'

In today's episode of the Brains Byte Back podcast, we speak with Adam Lawrence, Co-Founder and CEO of Boom & Bucket, a trusted digital dealer for buying and selling used heavy equipment.  In this episode, Lawrence kicks off by sharing how Boom & Bucket is the largest website for buying and selling used construction equipment online, ranging from tractors to bulldozers to cranes.  He then details how the company got started, when the two co-founders, Aaron and Samir, sold a company to Caterpillar in 2017 and stayed on to help with Cat Digital Labs, the innovation department of Caterpillar.  During this time, Lawrence was running a large payments business which he left in 2020. Lawrence and Samir met, and with Lawrence's desire to stay in e-commerce, and Samir's insights on using data to better understand the quality of the equipment being sold, the founding team started working on Boom & Bucket. Despite the company having only been around for two years, Lawrence shares that they have achieved a lot in this short space of time. He highlights this by pointing out that they have raised a venture round in 2021 and built a team that includes a head of operations and a head of engineering. Boom & Bucket officially launched in February 2022 and since then has become one of the fastest-growing companies of its type. Lawrence also shares the backstory behind the name "Boom & Bucket," which Lawrence advocates was chosen from a list of 50 names. The alliteration, as well as the fact that both a boom and a bucket are components of the construction equipment being sold, made it a winning name.  Lawrence claims that they set out to build an iconic logo and brand around the name, with a red, white, and blue color scheme and a simple line drawing of an excavator that evokes movement. He explains that the goal was to build an Americana brand that would still resonate 50 years from now. Links

SAVING WALLETS AND LANDFILLSWe are continuing with our focus on fashion and this week my guest is  Zuhairah Washington, President and COO of Otrium, a Dutch-born  end to end marketplace that she calls, the best kept secret in fashion. Otrium is a digital platform where you can buy end of season clothing at accessible prices. What does that mean? All those clothes that brands were unable to sell for whatever reason, can be discretely uploaded onto the platform and given a second chance at finding their way to being bought and used, rather than ending up in a landfill or a burning pile. This of course should give you a hint that sustainability is one of the topics I discussed with Zuhairah. It is one of many huge problems associated with fashion, but things are starting to move in the right direction, and she will explain a bit more in our interview.  Zuhairah started her career in private equity, she has founded her own tech company, had a stint at Uber as well as at Expedia and now here she is telling us about how she's leading  Otrium's expansion into the US market.

Join Tedd Huff of Fintech Confidential and Bruce Burke of Bullet Point Bulletins as they discuss the latest developments in the world of fintech and web3 technology on this week's episode of the Weekly Wrap-Up of Bullet Point Bulletins. The FDIC seized control of Silicon Valley Bank and the future seemed very dismal, but following this episode later that evening the Wall Street Journal said the U.S. Treasury, Federal Reserve and the made a joint decision to make good on all deposits made. This was basically decided upon to restore the public's faith in the banking system in the U.S.Tedd and Bruce discuss the many implications that surrounded the weekend-long banking crisis. The Feds hands seemed tied in this decision. Not stemming this tsunami would have lead to much deeper and long term problems.Inflation, mistrust, collapses and cryptocurrency are all playing hell with the economy and financial systems. People are beginning to look to alternatives to keep their hard earned money safe. There are many different aspects of the monetary systems and the startup scene in the valley discussed, but ultimately the government had to save it or else the contagion could have had a huge domino effect across the world - from the 16th largest bank in the United States.Oh and Bruce and Tedd also talk about the mainstream adoption of NFT's from both Starbucks customers and a forthcoming announcement expected from Amazon this month about a Digital Marketplace. We also discuss how the new Coinbase Wallet-as-a-Service is also bringing customers easily onboard to apps like Floor, and Token Proof. It seems there is a lot of simplifying of Web3 standards, but at the same time kind of making them a hybrid Web2.5. At least it's a step in the right direction. Or is it? Will the interoperability of Web3 ever be realized, it seems each new project has a proprietary blockchain, token or wallet technology of its own. Will the Web3 ideals be discarded and replaced by Web2 standards - or will the utopian ideals be upheld by the devout and the Web2.5 projects shunned by the true believers in the real Web3?
