When Wired magazine started, they did the weirdest thing a tech magazine could do—they picked a patron saint. Was Marshall McLuhan a digital prophet? Chris interviews Nick Ripatrazone, author of Digital Communion: Marshall McLuhan's Spiritual Vision for a Virtual Age (2022). Nick is the Culture Editor for Image and a Contributing Editor for the Catholic Herald. Find out why McLuhan, in his mid-20s, left his nominal Baptist upbringing for a robust Catholic faith. Plus, are smartphones the new stained glass window?  In the book, Ripatrazone writes, "For McLuhan, mass media was a form of Mass. When we communicate electronically, not only do we send information; we send ourselves." He unpacks this idea more fully in this episode. Afterward, Adam and Chris discuss how digital media provides a kind of "secular" communion, and whether McLuhan's uniquely Christian metaphor ultimately breaks down. Finally, find out whether Nick thinks the digital age requires us to reimagine the sacraments in a virtual world. LINKS Nick's book is Digital Communion: Marshall McLuhan's Spiritual Vision for a Virtual Age. Marshall McLuhan's books include Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man, The Medium is the Massage, and The Gutenberg Galaxy. Chris mentions the posthumously published, The Medium and the Light, as well as Douglas Coupland's biography, Marshall McLuhan: You Know Nothing of My Work!

David Shing aka “Shingy” is an Australian futurist, creative director, strategic consultant, and entrepreneur. He is also called “The Digital Prophet,” with good reason.    “Shingy” is a multidimensional creative specialising in advising brands, companies, and clients about inventive and effective approaches to optimizing brand value within the digital landscape.    David's story is an interesting one.  His long list of accomplishments complement his long list of jobs, starting when he was a teenager. As a youth, David worked at a radio show and sold Levi's. He also became a bartender at 15 years old while also learning hotel management in high school. He became an avid photographer. He even learned four chords to try to become a band member.     “I'm very interested in so many things,” David said during his sit-down with the RUN GPG Podcast.    David came from a large family in a small town in Australia. He studied both graphic and fashion design, but eventually chose the former as his profession. In his early 20s, David invented some internet technologies that opened many doors for him.   He then moved to the United States where he held many positions in large companies including AOL and Verizon Media. He left Verizon in 2019 because he said he wanted to be a better listener and teacher. That's exactly what he is doing now, advising and consulting with companies about marketing and branding anchored on empathy.      The RUN GPG Podcast had a diverse conversation with Shing covering a lot of topics. Here are some of the topics we covered in the episode:    David Shing's journey to being a branding and advertising consultant for some of the biggest companies in the world.   How he teaches people how to mind map so that people will think about peripheral ideas rooted in a core central thought. “It allows people to capture ideas quickly. Brand communication is lateral, not linear,” said David.   David describes himself as a creative with a very strong point of view, but at the same time, he closely aligns with empathy.    The pandemic has shifted people's priorities and hobbies. Bedtime reading, baking, and people's ability to discover things all went up during the pandemic. Companies have to adapt to these changes.    Every brand needs a point of view. Advertising is the business of making people want something, but brands that are smart make things that people want. It's no longer awareness-based advertising or amplification. It's actually about alignment.    One of the biggest mistakes brands make is that they want to amplify the brand when they should be talking about empathy. They want to do what they have always done.    Do we know what consumers are up to? No. We can guess but we don't really know because there are different types of people with different psychographics.   Brands should focus on the “feel” and not the usual performance indexes. You have to focus on the feel and the story and not just hijack the internet with crap memes.    The importance of USP's - What is unique about your brand, and how do you deliver that to your target audience?    There are multiple ways to connect with people and you should optimize these tools, whether it is through sight, sound, or motion.    A lot of brands are selling to the head to try and drive it to the heart. That's the wrong way. Artificial intelligence is a great start but it's not the panacea … yet.    What is the ‘Fourth Industrial Revolution? Intelligence and Data   Advice to aspiring ad executives: Act like the human who is consuming the brand. The #1 ingredient is a surprise, whether they laugh or they cry, the feeling of being surprised by the emotion can take the brand a long way.    The people David wants to have dinner with.    David wants to be known as somebody who inspired others to do better than they thought they could.      Anyone creating in advertising or branding should definitely pay attention and take notes on this one.  David Shing has become an important voice as a ‘Prophet' in the age of digital technology.    Know more about GREATER PROPERTY GROUP and the RUN GPG Podcast by going to www.rungpg.com or by getting in touch with us here: info@greaterpropertygroup.com.     Contact David Shing   Website: https://www.shingy.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidshingy/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/shingy LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shingy/   Subscribe & Review To The RUN GPG Podcast   Thanks for tuning in to this week's episode of the RUN GPG Podcast!

Wenn Klemens Skibicki - kurz Profski - in Unternehmen geht, um ihnen Digitalisierung zu erklären, trifft er oft auf große Augen. Die Facebook-Seite? Kann ja der IT-Administrator betreuen, hieß es bei vielen Unternehmen noch vor wenigen Jahren. Heute hat es sich der promovierte Wirtschaftshistoriker zum Ziel gesetzt, vor allem Mittelständler fit für die digitale Zukunft zu machen. Als Kölner vergleicht Skibicki das immer gerne mit dem Karneval: "Du kannst keine Karnevalsparty organisieren, wenn du sie noch nie gefeiert hast." Auch in politischen Debatten nimmt Skibicki kein Blatt vor den Mund. Er hält die Diskussion um Urheberrecht und Uploadfilter für einen Generationenkonflikt. Der entlarvt jene EU-Politiker, die Youtube für einen "Piraten-Sender" halten. In dieser Folge von "So techt Deutschland" bekommt auch Bundeswirtschaftsminister Altmaier sein Fett weg. Vor allem seine Industriestrategie ist Skibicki ein Dorn im Auge: "Der Staat war noch nie ein guter Unternehmer".

The self-styled “digital prophet” at Oath – the Verizon-owned juggernaut that comprises AOL, Yahoo, the Huffington Post and some 50 media and b-to-b brands – is in Cannes on a mission that seems counterintuitive to what a digital prophet ought to be all about. He wants people to dial down their anxiety-inducing reliance on their phones.
