Subscribe to DTC Newsletter - https://dtcnews.link/signupIn this episode of the DTC Podcast, host Eric Dyck welcomes back Constantine Yurevich, founder of SegmentStream, for a tactical conversation on modern marketing measurement and how to truly optimize media budgets—especially on Meta.Most brands are chasing growth using metrics that mislead, tools they don't understand, and platforms that aren't incentivized to show the truth. Constantine breaks down exactly why most advertisers are flying blind and how to get back on course.Key Takeaways:ROAS ≠ Profit: Learn why marginal ROAS, not average ROAS, is the metric that should govern every media dollar.The Meta Algorithm Explained: Get a clear look into how Meta's multi-layered ML models (account, pixel, event, creative) actually work—and how to feed them properly.Controlled Budget Shifts: Constantine introduces the concept of “destabilizing analytics” to reveal real campaign performance.Diminishing Returns in Practice: Why most brand search and retargeting campaigns look profitable on paper—but are losing money in reality.Creative Testing Best Practice: Don't isolate creative tests. Instead, inject them into live campaigns to take advantage of trained models.When to Diversify Beyond Meta: Not before ~$1M/month in spend. Most DTC brands diversify too early, sabotaging growth and signal integrity.If you're a growth marketer looking to scale Meta profitably, this episode is a must listen.Learn more about SegmentStream:SegmentStream Website – Learn how their marketing intelligence platform automates budget allocation using marginal ROASConstantine Yurevich on LinkedIn – Connect directly with Constantine for deep-dive insights and updates Constantine on X (@weird_ceo) – Tactical posts, growth takes, and algorithm breakdownsMarketing Science Newsletter on LinkedIn – Constantine's unfiltered weekly deep dives into marketing measurement (https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/7189209704512860160/_Previous DTC Podcast Episode with SegmentStream – Constantine declares that attribution is well and truly dead, so why not use AI to short-circuit the whole process?

Uncertainty is that invisible weight we all carry, quietly dictating our decisions, our stress levels, and, occasionally, how many iPhones we think we need to survive a trade war. In this episode, I break down how to stop letting uncertainty run the show, how to identify your response style, why panic rarely helps, and how overpreparing can be just as useless as not preparing at all.For more go to: www.scottmlynch.comLevel up your life by joining my Patreon where you'll get exclusive content every week and more badass offerings (rips t-shirt in half, Hulk Hogan style, and runs around the room). And/or…Unlock practical and tactical insights on how to master your mindset and optimize your happiness directly to your inbox.If you're a glutton for punishment and want more swift kicks in the mind follow me on social:InstagramYouTubeLeave a review and tell me how I suck so I can stop doing that or you can also tell me about things you like.

Mitch makes the rounds of all the popular late night chat shows.Endnotes:“Marlon Bundo” with Jill Twiss, A Day in the Life of Marlon Bundo (Chronicle Books, San Francisco, 2018) An audacious statement on societal inclusivity,  employing a metaphorical layering akin to the works of postmodern deconstructionists, a critique of the infantilization of the literary world. Slack Score: 11; Snark Score: 12; Overall FCA ranking: 71Jimmy Fallon, Your Babies First Word Will be Dada (Feiwel and Friends, New York, 2015) A deconstruction of phonetics, subverting language  into a world where meaning is elusive and language is presented as a fragmented system. The seemingly chaotic string of sounds presented as the child's first words parallels the avant-garde's challenge to linguistic precision.  Slack Score: 15; Snark Score: 2; Overall FCA ranking: 43Seth Myers, I'm Not Scared, You're Scared (Flamingo Books, New York, 2022) A navigation of the disorienting terrain of self-perception, the dialogue itself oscillates between a strange, almost surreal repetition of thoughts, as though the characters are trapped in a loop of denial and confrontation — much like the cyclical nature of fear itself. Slack Score: 15; Snark Score: 12.5; Overall FCA ranking: 169Stephen Colbert, I Am A Pole (and So Can You), (Spartina, New York, 2012)  In this surrealist work, the reader is asked to engage in an almost Sisyphean act of identification: the protagonist, a figure who, through sheer assertion, becomes a "Pole,"  Through a chaotic blend of humor and paradox, I'm a Pole (and So Can You!) disrupts the reader's expectations, presenting identity not as a fact but as an ever-shifting, often absurd construct. Slack Score: 13; Snark Score: 14; Overall FCA ranking: 78Jimmy Kimmel, The Serious Goose, (Random House, New York, 2019) The progressive, almost hypnotic attempts by the reader (or rather, the characters in the book) to force the goose to smile mirror the struggle between the human desire for emotional expression and the societal pressures to remain “serious."  Slack Score: 2; Snark Score: 8; Overall FCA ranking: 36Amber Ruffin, Sidney the Squirrel Doesn't Fit In (Brightstar Tales, Oklahoma City, 2025) The acorn, traditionally a symbol of growth and potential, is something Sidney is unable to "digest" in the same way as his peers. The “tree of conformity” where all other squirrels gather confines Sidney's sense of self. His inability to fit in is not merely a social issue, but a philosophical one: is the need to fit in an authentic desire or an imposition of artificial conformity? Slack Score: 7; Snark Score: 11; Overall FCA ranking: 57Conan O'Brien,Floyd the Flamingo Who Couldn't Stop Dancing, (Sprinklewood Press, Modesto, 2026) Floyd's dance becomes both a figurative “dance of death,” as he can never escape the invisible chains of social approval.  O'Brien challenges the reader to reconsider the true cost of “fitting in” and whether perpetual performance is a path to freedom or a cage of self-doubt. Slack Score: -6; Snark Score: 9.5; Overall FCA ranking: 110Jon Stewart, Naked Pictures of Famous People (Harper-Collins, New York, 1998)  Stewart's manipulation of famous historical and pop culture figures often distances them from their real-world counterparts, forcing readers to confront the notion that fame itself is a form of performance, a simulation of identity rather than an expression of authentic selfhood. Slack Score: 12.5; Snark Score: 15; Overall FCA ranking: 24

Concluding the series on hypoxia inducible factor in skeletal muscle, we go in depth with a paper investigating regulation pathways that blunt HIF's effects in well trained athletes, plus speculate as to whether the Pasteur effect is something worth worrying about while considering other evidence and parallel adaptive pathways. We also ponder some practical takeaways for very well trained endurance athletes as well as for those earlier in their training career.

Where are my fellow control freaks? Such an interesting and way more helpful perspective to rethink and redefine perfectionism. You know when you read a book and it's so groundbreaking and helpful, you can't help but tell all your friends, post about it? Well, I was the recipient of essentially being attacked on all sides that I needed to read this award-winning book, The Perfectionists' Guide to Losing Control by Katherine Morgan Schafler. Katherine is a seasoned psychotherapist and former in-house therapist for Google, with a BA in psychology from Berkeley and 2 masters from Columbia University and I've got her incredibly refreshing and game-changing approach broken down today. We talk about self-punishment vs. discipline. We talk about adaptive and maladaptive perfectionism and why restoration and resting feels like failure to perfectionists - and my favorite, control vs. power. I really am super excited for you to hear it and can't wait to hear what type of perfectionist are you!Timestamps:[00:10:01] Redefining Perfectionism[00:13:14] Gender bias in language.[00:17:22] Perfectionism and power seeking.[00:23:10] Five types of perfectionism.[00:27:21] Parisian Perfectionists and Relationships.[00:31:26] Knowing your type of perfectionism and collaborating with others[00:34:10] Self-worth and self-esteem.[00:39:03] Rethinking self-punishment and discipline.[00:42:14] Emotional education and self-compassion.[00:50:07] Resisting rest and restoration[00:54:12] Restoring and emptying out.[00:58:37] The Power of Play.[01:02:07] Presence and Power.[01:07:37] Gray rocking techniqueKatherine Morgan Schafler - Guest Links:The Perfectionists Guide to Losing Control - A Path to Peace and PowerWhat kind of Perfectionist are you?

The Oregon Legislature has mandated that large utilities deliver 100% emissions-free electricity by 2040. Since coal and natural gas account for more than 45% of Oregon's electricity generation, replacing those fuels with emission-free alternatives will be difficult. Moreover, the closer Oregon gets to 100% reduction, the more expensive it will get. This challenge stems from the fact that the two preferred power sources – industrial-scale wind and solar – are weather dependent. This will require over-building, plus batteries and back-up power supplies. Estimates suggest that achieving the final 1% of decarbonization in the Northwest may require expenditure of between $100 billion and $170 billion. As Oregon adds more wind and solar facilities, the effect of decreasing marginal returns becomes stronger. Each additional unit of reduction produces progressively smaller environmental benefits relative to cost. In simpler terms, it costs more to receive less. If we ever hit 99% reduction, the cost of the final 1% will escalate dramatically, offering minimal benefit at a towering expense. Given the lack of a cost-effective solution and the uncertainty of its necessity, the commitment to achieving 100% reduction is questionable. Fully eliminating emissions may not justify the steep payment. Instead of blindly pursuing decarbonization polices, Oregon should promote an adaptable, feasible approach to electricity generation before committing to a costly 100% reduction path for carbon dioxide emissions.

This episode is brought to you by Fatty15. Have you ever wondered why we often think others like us less than they actually do? In this episode, we explore this fascinating topic with award-winning science writer David Robson. We dive into the psychological phenomenon known as the "liking gap" and unpack why we underestimate our likability after initial conversations. Drawing from philosophy, neuroscience, and psychology, David reveals actionable strategies to break down these mental barriers and enhance our social interactions. We also delve into the impact of modern distractions like technology on our ability to connect meaningfully. We also examine the heavy toll that secrets, especially in the context of LGBTQ+ experiences, can take on our mental and physical health. Through self-reflection and forgiveness, we can lighten our emotional load and foster more genuine connections.  ----- In this episode we discuss...

Matt Clifford is the Co-Founder of Entrepreneur First (EF), the leading global talent investor and incubator. EF has incubated startups worth over $10bn, including Cleo, Tractable and Aztec Protocol. Matt is also Chair of ARIA, the UK's Advanced Research and Invention Agency, and advises the UK government on AI and in 2023 served as the Prime Minister's Representative for the AI Safety Summit at Bletchley Park. In Today's Episode with Matt Clifford We Discuss: 1. The Most Important Questions in AI: Are we seeing diminishing returns where more compute does not lead to a significant increase in performance? What is required to reach a new S curve? What do we need to see in GPT 5? Why does Matt believe that search is one of the biggest opportunities in AI today? 2. The Biggest Opportunities in AI Today: How does Matt see the future for society with a world of autonomous agents? What is the single biggest opportunity around agents that no one has solved? Is society ready for agentic behaviours to replace the core of human labour? How does warfare change in a world of AI? Does AI favour states and good actors or criminals and bad actors more favourably when it comes to offence and defence? 3. China and the Race to Win the AI War: Does Matt believe that China are two years behind the US in terms of AI capability? What are Matt's biggest lessons from spending time with the CPP in China working on AI policy? In what way is the CCP more sophisticated in their thinking on AI than people think? What is the bull and the bear case for China in the race for AI? What is the core impact of US export controls on chips for China's ability to build in AI? Does a Trump vs a Biden election change the playing field with China? 4. What Makes Truly Great Founders: Does Matt agree that the best founders always start an entrepreneurial activity when they are young? What is more important the biggest strength of one of the founders or the combined skills of the founding team? What did EF believe about founders and founder chemistry that they no longer believe? Does Matt believe that everyone can be a founder? What are the two core traits required?

On this week's show, the hosts begin by dissecting The Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, the fourth chapter in the Apes franchise. Set “many generations” in the future, the latest installment (directed by Wes Ball and starring Owen Teague) is an undeniably well-crafted summer blockbuster – but does it achieve the level of complexity and thought its predecessors did? (Read Dana's review for Slate for further analysis.) Then, it's onto John Mulaney Presents: Everybody's in LA, a six-part live Netflix special that aired during the streaming giant's comedy festival. The conceit is thus: Netflix is a Joke attracts the best comedians in the world to LA, John Mulaney interviews them. But the final product is much stranger than that description, both a rejection and reinvention of the tired late-night talk show format, in which Mulaney interviews celebrities and non-celebrities, airs sketches, and delivers long monologues on the character of LA. Is Everybody's in LA chaotic and sloppy, or a ragged delight? Our panel discusses. Finally, the trio is joined by Slate's music critic, Carl Wilson, to eulogize the legendary musician and “producing engineer” (his preferred title) Steve Albini. Known for recording albums with Joanna Newsom, Nirvana, and the Pixies, among others, Albini considered himself a documentarian of sound and a technical expert, and brought his punk-rock ethic to everything he did. Read Steve Albini's essay, “The Problem with Music” and his letter to Nirvana. In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, the panel discusses cultural arbitrage with Slate's music critic, Carl Wilson, inspired by W. David Marx's essay for The Atlantic, “The Diminishing Returns of Having Good Taste.”  Email us at culturefest@slate.com.  Endorsements: Dana: “Who's Afraid of Judith Butler?” – a profile of the philosopher and gender theorist by Parul Sehgal for The New Yorker. Julia: “Espresso” by Sabrina Carpenter. Stephen: The delightful, catchy, and exuberant (with a tincture of melancholy) music of New Zealand band, Yumi Zuma.
