On today's episode, Evan is joined by Kevin Bowen from 1070 The Fan to go over four key Indianapolis Colts free agents. Does Kevin buy or sell their futures in Indy? First up, what does the future hold for T.Y. Hilton with the Indianapolis Colts? Even though Hilton has lost a step or two, is it in Indy's best interest to re-sign him? Also, what does a possible contract look like? Xavier Rhodes had a career resurgence in 2020, but will that continue elsewhere? Rhodes proved he can still be a top-caliber cornerback in the NFL. However, will his production take him out of Indy's preferred price range? Denico Autry has been a versatile piece along the Colts' defensive line. Kevin even called him the best free agent signing of the Chris Ballard era thus far. Is now the time to let Autry walk and have Tyquan Lewis take his place, though? Justin Houston was a consistent threat off the edge for Indy, but his performance tapered off in the final half of 2020. Does this mean Houston is on the way out? Look for the Colts to address pass rusher in free agency, but what about the developments of Kemoko Turay and Ben Banogu? Closing out the show, Evan and Kevin go over how important the 2021 offseason truly is for the Colts. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

If you appreciate Parallax Views and the work of J.G. Michael please consider supporting the show through Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/parallaxviews On this edition of Parallax Views, over the course of this program's history J.G. Michael has been fairly open about his politics leaning to the leftward, sometimes called progressive, end of the political compass. Past guests of Parallax Views, like Noam Chomsky and Bill Ayers, have reflected J.G.'s own orientation. However, J.G. doesn't want himself or his listeners to live in a bubble. As such he recently reached out to the often controversial and stylish conservative commentator Kevin D. Williamson, the roving correspondent for the National Review and author of the new book Big White Ghetto: Dead Broke, Stone-Cold Stupid, and High on Rage in the Dank Woolly Wilds of the "Real America", with an invite to appear on Parallax Views. Kevin accepted and this conversation is the result. Those expecting a debate will likely be disappointed. This is a frank conversation, co-hosted by Nathan Myers of the unfortunately defunct Clash podcast, in which J.G. and Kevin cover a wide range of topics and clarify some of Kevin's views, which, depending on what you've heard about him, may surprise you. Among the subjects we discuss and the lines of inquiry we pursue are:- How Kevin became involved in journalism and his literary influences which include the arch-conservative William F. Buckley as well as, believe it or not, the counterculture gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson and Tom Wolfe of The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test fame; J.G. draws a parallel between Thompson's work on the Hell's Angels, specifically in regards to what Thompson called "the ethic of total retaliation, and some of the themes in Kevin's new book Big White Ghetto; the attitude of James Dean-style teenage rebellion in the 60s and its relevance today; social anxiety about masculinity in a world where traditional masculinity (ie: violence, physical labor, etc.) is not as high in value as it used to be and how this ties into both the rebellions of the Hell's Angels and the cultural moment of Trumpism; why Kevin writes the way he does and his dislike for what he sees as "performative empathy" - Kevin's work covering the alt right which led him to interviewing figures like the white nationalist Richard Spencer; the sense of "disappointment", driven by social and moral entitlement, that Kevin believes drove the alt right and associated movement; the "Cowboys and Indians" nature of Trumpism and Kevin's description of Trumpism as less of an ideology than an enemy's list; what William F. Buckley thought of Trump and speculating as to what Buckley would think of Trumpism - Why Trumpism has been a tough nut to crack for many commentators and why it appeals to many people that think of themselves as conservative despite it not being, in Kevin's view, conservative in nature; Kevin's thoughts on Tucker Carlson and journalists in the Trump World who are from wealthy backgrounds that have appointed themselves as voices for the white working class, the rustbelt, and the forgotten areas of American society; the disconnect between those who know poverty and those who haven't experienced poverty; Kevin's criticisms of figures like Laura Ingraham and Sean Hannity within the conservative media - Politics as aesthetics and social affiliation; Kevin's article entitled "Acting White"; professionals pretending to be rednecks and what Kevin calls the "white minstrel show"; why Kevin included the phrase "The Real America" in the subtitle of his book; Ted Cruz and social posturing/affectation; careerism in conservative media and shifting values within said media; the ascent of the professional conservative; the different worlds that exist within conservative media; how Sean Hannity and others are terrified of there own audiences due to what Kevin calls the right-wing version of "Cancel Culture"; the problem of subservience to political power amongst journalists; Kevin's view of libertarianism; the financial pressures of AM right-wing radio and the freedom Kevin is afforded by working for the National Review rather than working in the radio-sphere. - Kevin's thoughts on paleoconservatives like Pat Buchanan as well as his thoughts on the libertarian thinker Murray Rothbard; Rothbard's idea of a pan-radical movement of antiwar activists and figures like David Duke against the Establishment; how conspiracy theories and the conspiratorial mindset of organizations like the John Birch Society rose in relation to the intellectual side of the conservative movement; the content of Rothbard being abandoned in favor of the style and rhetoric; the prevalence of a theater of "Us and Them" elites-betraying-we-the-people story-telling in the right-wing today; is paleoconservatism even conservative in an American context; conservatism in the American context as being tied to liberalism whereas conservatism in Europe is more tied to blood-and-soil, throne-and-altar nationalism; anti-liberal elements that vote for the Republican Party for non-ideological reasons; tribalism as driving current political fights rather than policy - Cultural politics as a substitute for real politics and policy discussion; the changing of cultural politics in both the Democratic Party and Republican Party since the 1980s; cultural politics as snobbery; the rebranding of Democrats as the party of professionals and the Republicans as the party of the working class and poor; snobbery on both sides of the political spectrum; people wanting to argue and debate with the caricature of what they perceive a person's politics and culture to be rather than the actual person; post-politics and Andy Warhol's idea of fame as hell on earth; celebrity-seeking behavior and social media; life as performance rather than "just living" in an age of being constantly watched through social media; Kevin's lack of presence on social media; the removal of connected and traditional means of social meaning and belonging leading to the current morality plays that occur on social media - Does Kevin hate poor rural whites or is that a misrepresentation; growing up in a poor family but having an advantage in regards to social capital due to living in the college town of Lubbock, Texas; the great mistake of America's policy discussion and the way in which policy discussions are dominated by the well-heeled, educated classes and reflective of their interests; - Kevin's infamous debate with Michael Brendan Dougherty and his controversial comments declaring that broken communities in rural America should be allowed to die; Kevin's belief that, on the individual level, should leave those communities to form a better life; policy being erronesouly based on places rather than people; Boonville, Kentucky and other places that Kevin has written about that don't, in the current moment, seem to have much of an economic future - Kevin's essay "I Am Cancer"; readers ascribing what they want to Kevin's writing regardless of what Kevin actually believes; the story of Kevin's experience evicting a family from a house he inherited; the theme in "I Am Cancer" of a lack of recognition in regards to how bad things don't just happen overnight; the terribly sad and depressing nature of Kevin's experience with eviction court and how he turned the experience into an essay; the subjectless-ness of the stories Kevin heard during his experience in eviction court; how "I Am Cancer" gets to the heart of Kevin's debate with Michael Brendan Doughtery; Kevin's policy suggestion of relocation benefits and other social welfare programs to help people in these communities. - Nathan asks about Kevin's essay, from which the book gets it's title, "The Big White Ghetto"; the problems of poverty not having obvious solutions due to factors like mental health issues, drug dependency, etc.; how soda was used as a form of currency in that story; the importance of talking to people, from drug dealers to police, in covering these stories and the mistake journalists make by only talking to figures from institutions - Nathan asks Kevin why there's a refusal to acknowledge the nature of the crisis in forgotten communities and Kevin's response involving the "Two Santa Clauses" theory; the "Get a Job" cartoon version of conservatism and what Kevin sees as the kernel of truth in that advice when it comes to communities that are economically dying; JD Vance's Hillbilly Elegy; Kevin's thoughts on anti-immigrant attitudes; moving out of these communities, or dispersion, as the only way out of the destitution of these communities and why Kevin believes that saying this is the only option needs to be said; "performative empathy" as a disservice to bettering people's lives - How Kevin's writing on the subject covered in Big White Ghetto are similar to those written about by the true crime author and conservative commentator Theodore Dalrymple; both Dalrymple and Williamson write about what has been described as the situation of an overlooked "permanent underclass"; how Dalrymple's writing deals with people in prisons whereas Kevin deals with populations that are less concentrated; the passive voice in the stories of the poor that both Dalrymple and Willamson - Ending on a note of levity with a story involving Kevin babysitting, the adult video game Leisure Suit Larry, and Watergate burglar G.

145: Kevin Rutherford: CEO and Chief Eternal Optimist of Nuun hydration talks about growing his business insights and bouncing back from getting let go from one CEO position to landing his current role at Nuun and helping to spur its steady impressive financial growth.  Kevin Rutherford   Nuun is the second company where Kevin Rutherford has held the job title ‘Chief Eternal Optimist.’ He shares with Mark Pattison what this label means to him. “The truth is, we need to find the issues and fix them, and so I think sometimes when people see a title like ‘Chief Eternal Optimist,’ self-proclaimed by the way, I don’t know if my team agrees with me, hopefully they do, it doesn’t mean that everything is rosy, right? I think that is the myth. An optimist believes that we can solve it and we can continue to move forward. But, it doesn’t mean that everything is always great. In fact, far from it on many occasions. But, it takes the optimist to see the solutions. Otherwise, you're only going to see the problems and you’re only going to stay stuck there.” On this episode of Finding Your Summit Podcast, we talk with Kevin Rutherford, CEO and Chief Eternal Optimist of Nuun hydration. Hear how he explains the philosophy of having an ‘attitude of gratitude.’ “The attitude in going in with this ‘I’ve got this abundance mentality.’ So, a lot of gratitude becomes contagious within a team. And so, the reason I think that it is bigger than that is you can’t accomplish really almost any goal, including what you are about to take on right now. So, Everest is the last of the climbs that you are going to do. You couldn’t do it without a team to help you prepare and get ready for that.”   What You Will Learn:   Kevin Rutherford shares the importance of maintaining a strong team. “In my mind, culture is the single biggest advantage in any team. Business, sport, doing your case studies in grad school or something like that. Like, truly, the single most biggest advantage is all about the team. There is plenty of data that shows the accumulative IQ of a team is always much greater than an individual. And so, that is the greater part that truthfully gets me fired up. The product is one thing. What gets me fired up actually is getting the team rallying behind our cause.”   Was there a moment in time that Kevin Rutherford had in his past prior to Nuun, where the impact of gratitude struck him clearly? “I need to be part of a team as opposed to consulting because I’m not getting energy from that. I realized that I think I have a gift of connecting people and helping people and helping them accomplish maybe more than what they thought they could. I realised I didn’t know that until I really reflected, and an abundance mentality and gratitude gave me more confidence and then I stepped forward and put myself out there. So, I didn’t actually start Nuun.  But, I did take over well over six years ago.”   Does Kevin find pleasurable fulfillment in solving problems instead of being stuck in the office all day? “I didn’t realise it at the time when I first started moving forward in the Triathlon world with swim and bike and run. It is so meticulous, especially swimming for me, it is so technical in that you are always trying to perfect it, and the repetition. So, what ends up happening is by refining this skill to get fine-tuned to get more efficient at everything you are doing, over and over and over, and over again. It is these incremental gains and what ends up happening is you end up becoming sharper and your head becomes clearer because you are just so focused on that moment in time. I have found that it actually helps me in my work life. Because that sharpness, that ability to focus and concentrate then translates to when I’m in a discussion with somebody directly across me.”    Why can unplugging from technology strengthen our ability to focus? “The phones we have, the smart phones, are basically connected to us. They are an extension of our person. So, we’ve got all of this clutter, and imagine if you could take that completely away for 2, 3, or 4 hours depending, even longer if it is a weekend day actually. It is close to eight hours in a day. So, you take that and you are full-on focused. Like, the muscle that you are building with your brain by not getting all of this clutter of the world really does translate well. I’m a massive believer in integrating sports into your life and that will help you in your business.”    What exactly does Kevin Rutherford mean when he says, ‘culture is alive.’ “When I think about a thriving team and culture, there are many things that come into play. By the way, my belief on this one is ‘culture is alive,’ meaning, it is a living ecosystem that changes all the time. A person leaves your team, comes on the team. Culture is changing. An issue happens. A new competitor comes in. Something went wrong. Something is going right. It is changing. You have to feed it. It is not a checklist.     Adapt or Die   Kevin Rutherford gives us his perspective on being nimble enough in your field to adapt in our ever-changing world. “You need to adapt a little bit. Or, if you don’t adapt, you’ll die. So, in the business context, I love using the example of Kodak. Actually, do you know this? Kodak actually invented the digital camera. But, yet where is Kodak today? Because they basically had it but they kind of held on. They didn’t adapt as to where it was going, and so they thought well, if we hold onto this we are good to go. Then sure enough, the digital camera went and catapulted. They couldn’t actually get theirs on track because they waited.”    Projecting   During this episode of Finding Your Summit Podcast, Kevin Rutherford also talks about his career transition at Nuun and the business growth that flourished after his hiring, “I actually came in and said, I’m not changing anything right away. I need to figure out first of all what is going on and first and foremost, what is working. Because there is something that got us here to this spot. So, this is what I find really cool about the power of people and culture. Within the first two months, 60 days, I personally cannot do anything to change this. To be clear, I might be at the helm. It's a mindset that then drove execution and changed the trajectory of the company. Within 60 days we were already starting to truck long and grow faster, and we actually never slowed down since that point.”  Links to Additional Resources: Mark Pattison: markpattisonnfl.com Emilia’s Everest for the Epilepsy Foundation: markpattisonnfl.com/philanthropy-wb/ Kevin Rutherford: Linkedin Nuun: nuunlife.com

Straight shooter Kevin Seaman shares his story of how he took a TV-centric organization and moved it into the digital space using cross-channel multi-touch attribution. Tune in to find out what it takes to get attribution adopted, the challenges you may face and what you could expect to learn along the way.   Guest bio: Kevin Seaman has made a career out of measurable marketing, spending the last 20 years maximizing outcomes for national consumer and B2B marketers including Scotts Miracle Grow, Valvoline, and Goodyear.   Kevin had his attribution conversion in 2013 while at Southern New-Hampshire University (SNHU), realizing that transforming from a TV-centric advertiser was going to require a new way to measure and optimize. In his five years there, SNHU turned into a digital marketing powerhouse and tripled in size, becoming the largest non-profit online University in the U.S. Currently, as the Founder of Results Analytics, Kevin provides analytics, performance marketing, and strategy expertise to help companies maximize outcomes and make analytics part of their DNA.   Key takeaways: [1:48] I introduce today’s guest, Kevin, and ask him about how he came to be where he is today — from agency-side direct marketing to client-side at SNHU. [5:03] Kevin tells the story of when he came to SNHU, how they were structured, and the work he did to help pioneer the online studies. [6:54] SNHU was looking to build a brand and drive growth in the online space on a national scale but was spending exclusively on TV. In order to convince decision-makers to fund a more diversified marketing mix, Kevin had to prove that digital was working, so he ran tons and tons of pilots in the digital space. [10:05] Kevin touches on the view through measurement which he calls the “blimp measurement”; he explains how the blimp metaphor highlights the shortcomings and unreliability of this data point. It led to him doing large scale placebo testing to help identify a Goldilocks solution. [13:10] Kevin shares the story of his 2014 New Year’s resolution and the apology he delivered to his marketing team before asking them to fund digital multi-channel, multi-touch attribution! [14:34] Kevin speaks to his achievements throughout the attribution journey he led with SNHU. When you look at any technology, the hardest aspect is to get people to drink the Kool-Aid, so Kevin was constantly gathering proof. [16:04] He shares the challenges he faced and gives his tips on getting the people in an organization to adopt a new technology and to move budget line items. [20:20] Organizational challenges are often the thing holding us back from going all-in with a new solution. Does Kevin see a way to circumvent those challenges? [22:52] Considering that attribution is one of the largest line items in an organization’s P&L, should there be a Chief Attribution Officer? Kevin weighs in with his thoughts on accountability within an organization. [25:44] Kevin shares some measurement lessons he drew from his experience at SNHU: get the house plumbing in order, connect your front-end and your back-end, and make sure you’re optimizing for the right behaviors. [31:23] Creative is a BIG contributor; don’t be just a math person, watch your soft skills and watch your language (opt for the good/better/best rather than the good/bad). [36:34] Jeff highlights the truth in what Kevin is saying: in an organization, math will not sell attribution, you need a different set of skills for that. Kevin shares the example of Google in that sense. [40:37] Kevin and Jeff discuss the importance of partnered relationships in the operationalization of attribution as well as how to recognize those relationships. Kevin opens up about a professional soul-crushing insight with one of his vendor relationships. [43:30] Kevin shares his thoughts on the future of attribution, he touches on the non-measurable sides of attribution, the possible fragmentation of attribution and the impacts of growing privacy concerns and vendor relationships. [48:07] Kevin shares one thing that he knows that no one else knows: the people part of attribution is much more difficult than the math. I thank him for coming on the podcast and sharing so much of his experience.   Be sure to tune in for the next episode and thanks for listening!   Connect with our guest: Kevin@resultsalanytics.com Kevin Seaman on LinkedIn   Mentioned in this episode: Southern New-Hampshire University   About your host: Jeff Greenfield is the Co-Founder and Chief Attribution Officer of C3 Metrics.
