Lesley Logan calls out the performance review bias that measures women by their “likability” instead of their impact—and why that needs to end. This week's episode is a fiery reminder that your work deserves recognition, not personality notes. Lesley unpacks how bias shows up in feedback, how leaders can fix it, and why celebrating your wins out loud is a powerful self-advocacy.If you have any questions about this episode or want to get some of the resources we mentioned, head over to LesleyLogan.co/podcast https://lesleylogan.co/podcast/.

Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 0:44  Hi, Be It babe. How are you? We're almost there. We're almost to the holiday and then the chaos, and I'm gonna go on winter tour. We're almost there. We're not there yet. We got an extra week before that one holiday comes up, and I think that's great. And if you don't live in the States then you are just doing great. Lesley Logan 1:07  All right, it's the FYF episode. So this is where it's short, sweet. Get you thinking about ways you could be it till you see it. I get to riff on some things. We get to know each other better. Send your wins in to beitpod.com/questions. Send in a question as well, we answer those on the recap. Those happen on Thursdays. Interviews happen on Tuesdays. I'm fucking loving the interviews that are coming up, and we have a really great one coming up that's gonna lead into our habit series. So hope you're subscribed to the channel so you never miss an episode from us. Lesley Logan 1:29  Okay, this was an interesting thing. I don't know if it inspired me or pissed me off, so we're gonna remind ourselves together. So it says around 76% of high performing women reported, reportedly received negative feedback from their managers, compared to just 2% of high performing men. Oh yeah, this one pissed me off. This comes from data collected from 23,000 employees across 250 organizations, by the way, so not a small, not a small thing. Why is this happening? Unconscious bias leads managers, male or female, to typically evaluate women during performance reviews on their personality rather than the work they contribute. Are they easy to work with? Do they get along with everyone? Are they likable or collaborative? Doesn't it, I just want to, I just want to be fucking pissed. I'm pissed off, right? So like no one's asking if a guy is likable, which, by the way, like often they smell, or things like that, like no one's asking. They're valued on the work that they do, but it's always been this way, and we have to figure out how to change this. I think it comes from like, raising girls to be quiet, stop doing that. We need to raise them to brag, you know, and like, we need to raise like we need to raise them not to be like, oh, you know, make sure, no, tell people how you feel. You know, it's important. So I think this is an interesting thing. I don't know how we solve this problem, but if you are a leader who gives reviews, maybe make sure that, if you're telling women that their person, like their personality, has some issues, make sure you do with men too, or don't do with either of them, right? These areas of feedback don't necessarily touch on women's performance, which hurts both the employee and the employer. That's right. The employee, remember, is a high performer, she's going to be looking for concrete ways to grow and progress in her career. If she's receiving feedback on how nice she is. Well, she might not, she might start looking for work elsewhere. Managers, keep it constructive and hold on to top talent. This is so true. If you've got these high achieving women working for you, but you're busy working on things that they need to change about themselves. They're going to go somewhere else who wants them, right? And you're also not helping them better themselves for the work that they're doing for you. So I love it. I agree. We need to consider how we are, the expectations on women, because they are doing so much. I'm not I'm not trying to shit on the men, because, like, there are some really great men out there, but I do think that we are missing out on some good stuff, and we're not treating people in a way that allows everybody to win. And there is a way, like, there's no pie, right? So if, if you're going to do performance reviews around likeability. You got to do it for everybody. If you're just going to do it on performance, you got to do it for everybody like you can't have that bias, and if you do have that bias, it's probably a good time to get that checked out. And maybe you need to change your review process. And if it's happening to you, at your review process, get inspired by these other ladies and find work somewhere else where you can be challenged because you're fucking amazing, right? And start celebrating your wins in front of them, right? That might help them. I think sometimes it's really easy to go, oh, you know, like to downplay the things that you did. Lesley Logan 4:33  So okay, let's start bragging about you guys. We have Charlotte Coker. She said, I finally launched my website after several months of working on it. Little by little, I'm very proud of myself for doing something so outside my comfort zone, my home studio, feels like it's really rocking and rolling. Yay, yay, Charlotte. It is really rocking and rolling. You are doing a lot, I know, like it's really easy to go, Oh my gosh, I expect to be done by now. But like, little by little. I mean, the thing is, is you actually, nothing happens overnight, like websites, especially, they take time. So I'm super proud of you. I think you're doing great work, and I am so excited that you are kicking off your home studio before it is even ready. That is being it till you see it full and on. And so way to go. Thank you for sharing that with us. You guys need to share your wins at beitpod.com/questions. Lesley Logan 5:23  Okay, my win. Okay. I think if you've been listening to podcast for a long time, you know, I've been on a hobby hunt. I think I have found my hobby, and it's not getting my nails done. I am so excited. We had guests come on to talk about tarot, and I was so obsessed with her, and she sent me a deck, and I'm not really sure if her episodes out yet or not, so we'll save more information on that later. But ever since then, then I, like, found this book that helps me study tarot, and I can do it with writing. But then I found another book that's a little bit different, the same they all have, they all say the same things, but in a different way, which helps me, like, repeat what I'm learning. And then I found an app. It's like the Duolingo. They call the Duolingo for tarot, and I'm gonna reach out and see if they want to do ads, because I'm kind of obsessed with it. Every single day I I do this, and it's not easy, right? Like, it's definitely something I feel like I'm gonna have a better grasp on the more I practice out loud. This is kind of the ones I like, I have to, like, read out loud and do it out loud. But at any rate, I'm super excited because I was a I was a little like, should I call it a hobby? I've only been, like, playing it, but now we're like, four months, and I do it daily, and I really love it, and it is a great way for me as a person who's like, I want a journal. I want to have some more self-reflection time. It helps me helps have some self-reflection. So I can't wait for you to hear the episode, because you're gonna hear someone who's never delved into tarot, like interview this person, and now you'll know I'm, like, a hobbyist right now, and (inaudible) to do readings for people, just maybe for myself. But I am just like feeling really excited that I think I have a hobby that I like, want to stick with, and I have been trying to find a hobby for years, and I'm feeling joy around it, and that's my win. Okay, what's yours? Send it into the Be It Pod. Lesley Logan 7:09  Here is your affirmation for the weekend. I deserve information and I deserve moments of silence, too. I deserve information and I deserve moments of silence, too. I deserve information and I deserve moments of silence, too. You guys, as an introvert who likes people, I love my moments of silence as much as I love seeing you and getting your information. So that affirmation really feels like it's very representative. Until next time, Be It Till You See It. Lesley Logan 7:44  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

Science commentator Laurie Winkless joins Kathryn with a new study that looked at 86,000 people in 27 European countries to understand how multilingualism may influence their brain health as they age. The results might just have you reaching for the Duolingo app. This year's Global Carbon Project has found emissions from fossil fuels have risen by 1.1% to reach their highest level yet. And there's new hope for people suffering from anaemia; researchers in Switzerland have developed a new iron supplement for food that's tasteless and more quickly absorbed than iron sulfate.

Shipping product features fast feels like winning—until you realize you've deployed seven half-baked features that users tolerate instead of one they actually love. The MVP methodology promised speed and learning, but somewhere along the way it became an excuse for shipping incomplete products and calling it "strategy."Join hosts Chuck Moxley and Nick Paladino as they tackle one of product development's most polarizing debates: the Minimum Viable Product. Drawing insights from companies like Duolingo and referencing their previous conversation with Nakul Goyal from Carfax, Nick and Chuck explore whether MVPs encourage smart learning or just create a culture of half-finished products. They dissect the difference between "low minimum" and "high minimum" approaches, expose how "finding the green" leads to cherry-picked data, and reveal why product bloat happens when teams try individual valuable features without measuring what they displaced. Most importantly, they argue that the real problem isn't MVPs themselves—it's whether your culture is built around making customers happy or making the wrong people happy.  Key Actionable Takeaways: Redefine "minimum" based on customer value, not developer speed - The developer defines what's technically achievable fastest, but minimum should prioritize what creates viable user value, not just "does it work"Use production data to guide iteration, not cherry-pick success metrics - Avoid "finding the green" by searching for any positive indicator; instead, let real user data guide your vision and be willing to kill 6 out of 7 tested featuresMeasure diminished value when adding new features - Product bloat occurs when you validate each new feature individually without assessing how it reduces the value of existing features it displaces or pushes down the pageNick & Chuck's previous conversation with Nakul Goyal from Carfax: https://youtu.be/-Torg078AtE  Want more tips and strategies about creating frictionless digital experiences? Subscribe to our newsletter! https://www.thefrictionlessexperience.com/frictionless/Download the Five Step Site Speed ​​Target Playbook: http://bluetriangle.com/playbookNick Paladino's LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/npaladino  Chuck Moxley's LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/chuck-moxleyChapters: (00:00) Introduction - The MVP controversy  (01:00) Defining minimum viable - What does it really mean?

In this week's Power Lounge, host Amy Vaughan welcomes Dr. Mara Einstein, an internationally recognized authority on deceptive marketing and author of Hoodwinked: How Marketers Use the Same Tactics as Cults. A former TV and advertising executive turned academic and media ethicist, Dr. Einstein pulls back the curtain on the dark psychology behind consumer manipulation. Together, she and Amy dive into the question: When does persuasion cross the line into indoctrination? Listeners are invited to examine the uncomfortable parallels between cult behavior and brand loyalty—and to confront just how easily marketing can tap into our fears, anxieties, and identities.Drawing from her research and insights featured in the Emmy-winning Netflix documentary Buy Now: The Shopping Conspiracy, Dr. Einstein explains how modern marketing operates within what she calls the “anxiety economy.” From endless doom-scrolling to influencer-driven consumerism, she reveals how technology and advertising combine to keep us hooked, anxious, and buying. The conversation unpacks the continuum between brand fandom and fanaticism, using examples from Apple to Weight Watchers to show how manipulation thrives when emotional needs meet persuasive design.But this isn't a hopeless picture—Dr. Einstein also offers guidance for marketers and consumers alike. She challenges professionals to embrace ethics without sacrificing creativity and encourages all of us to become more conscious of how we engage with brands. By replacing reflexive scrolling with mindful consumption and by choosing community over cultish loyalty, listeners can reclaim agency in an economy built on influence. This episode is a must-hear for anyone who wants to understand—and resist—the subtle ways marketing shapes our thoughts, habits, and values.Chapters:00:00 – Intro & Welcome00:50 – Meet Dr. Mara Einstein02:10 – Why Talk About Cults and Marketing?03:30 – How the Book “Hoodwinked” Began05:10 – The Cult–Marketing Continuum06:45 – From Attention Economy to Anxiety Economy08:50 – How Anxiety Fuels Overconsumption10:25 – “Buy Now” and Viewer Reactions12:30 – Black Friday and the “Economic Blackout”14:10 – Conscious Consumption in a Digital World16:00 – The Line Between Persuasion and Manipulation17:30 – The Genius and Ethics of Duolingo's Campaigns18:45 – When Brand Community Becomes Brand Cult20:15 – Weight Watchers: A Case Study in Cult Tactics27:00 – The Role of Social Media in Modern Tribalism31:30 – Identity and the Brands We Choose37:00 – Ethical Marketing and Real Community41:10 – The Danger of Making It Hard to Leave44:30 – How AI and Bots Change the Deception Game50:00 – Building Awareness and Resilience53:00 – Closing Thoughts & Where to Find Dr. EinsteinQuotes:“We don't live in an attention economy — we live in an anxiety economy.

The truth is, it's winding us up, not calming us down.” - Amy VaughanKey Takeaways:Anxiety, not attention, drives modern marketing.Persuasion turns toxic when it exploits fear.Brand loyalty can slide into cult behavior.Algorithms feed anxiety for engagement.We shop to soothe stress, not need.Ethical marketing connects, not controls.AI blurs truth and manipulation.Brands now shape personal identity.Awareness breaks the consumer cycle.Conscious choices beat compulsive clicks.Connect with Dr. MaSupport the show

Afgelopen beursweek was een interessante. Er was veel beweging in de koersen van individuele aandelen. Een aantal zakte volledig door het ijs. Duolingo, Wolters Kluwer en Adobe werden bijvoorbeeld genadeloos afgestraft. Op het eerste gezicht hebben deze bedrijven weinig met elkaar te maken, maar hun koers staat dit jaar grofweg een procent of veertig in het rood. Ze worden allemaal gezien als ondernemingen waarvan het bedrijfsmodel door het gebruik van AI onder druk komt te staan. Terwijl ze een tijd geleden juist werden gezien als bedrijven die daar sterk van zouden profiteren. Zo kan Duolingo kunstmatige intelligentie gebruiken om veel efficiënter te worden. Maar nu zijn beleggers juist gefocust op AI-concurrenten zoals Anki, Memrise en LingQ. Ik probeer al tijden mijn Spaans wat op te kalefateren, dus wellicht moet ik die eens proberen. Want Duolingo is grappig, maar brengt je niet echt dichter bij het voeren van een normaal gesprek. Voor de medische database van Wolters Kluwer zijn er goedkope alternatieven, zoals OpenEvidence en ClinicalKey. Die zouden volgens de verhalen flink aan de weg timmeren en de bijna-monopoliepositie van Wolters Kluwer ondermijnen. Maar ja, ik ken geen dokters in de VS, dus ik kan moeilijk bepalen of dat echt zo is, of niet. Goede informatie is essentieel voor een arts. Wil je het risico lopen om medisch advies te krijgen van een hallucinerend AI-model? Zijn die verhalen ruis, of een signaal? Andersom gebeurt het ook. Eerder dit jaar dachten beleggers dat Googles advertentie-inkomsten gingen doodbloeden. Alle zoekopdrachten zouden met AI-modellen worden gedaan, en dan hoef je niet meer langs de reclames, waar het bedrijf $265 mrd van zijn totale $350 mrd aan omzet uit haalt. De waardering van Google kelderde van 23 naar 16 maal de verwachte winst, maar inmiddels zijn deze angsten overgewaaid en staat het aandeel weer op een k/w van 26. Aangezien de verwachte winsten verder zijn gestegen, betekent dat een verdubbeling van de koers in een half jaar tijd. Om de schrijver Mark Twain te parafraseren: de berichten over Googles dood zijn schromelijk overdreven. Het bijzondere is de draai in de perceptie van beleggers. De ene keer zijn ze erg enthousiast over de AI-impact, de andere keer juist erg somber. Jantje huilt, Jantje lacht. Bedenk wel dat technologische ontwikkelingen hele bedrijven onderuit hebben gehaald, zoals Nokia, Blackberry, Xerox en Kodak. Je moet dus ruis en signaal van elkaar kunnen onderscheiden. De conclusie is simpel. Het is voor beleggers essentieel om te bepalen in hoeverre een bedrijf echt wordt geraakt door de AI-ontwikkelingen en in hoeverre het slechts een verhaal is. Als het lukt om ruis van signaal te scheiden, kun je hele mooie bedrijven voor een prikkie kopen. Maar pas wel op dat je geen Kodak-momentje hebt.

Links:Read a blog by Lewys, the student I interviewed in Mandarin on the last episode, about his journey to conversational Mandarin in 12 months here: https://imlearningmandarin.com/2025/03/12/lewyss-6-month-transformation-to-conversational-mandarin-video/Learn more about my coaching programme here: https://imlearningmandarin.com/gym--So, over the past six months, I've been coaching Katharine, a busy working mom from Wales who wanted to learn Chinese to connect with her friends and help her son with his Chinese homework. And unlike most people who come to me for coaching, Catherine was starting from ground zero. She tried Duolingo for around a week, but quickly realized that she needed a more systematic approach that would actually enable her to reach her goals. So, Katharine has a demanding career. She's raising a family and she lives in the UK. Hey, so moving to China or dedicating full days to study isn't really an option. And so we set a very specific goal for her first 6 months, which was to establish a rock-solid foundation when it came to pronunciation, tones, and sentence structure. So that meant rather than cramming thousands of random words from HSK lists, focusing on the words that she needed to use herself to talk about, the things that she was interested and wanted to talk about, and making sure she could say those things really well. So making sure that her pronunciation and tones were really good for the things that she wanted to say. And so that's what she's done for the first 6 months, collecting phrases that she actually wants to say and building her own kind of personalized immersion environment where she's immersing in those things that she wants to talk about all the time while walking the dog, commuting to meetings, etc. So, in a moment, we're going to hear a clip of Katherine reading a script that she wrote about whales, entirely in Chinese with excellent tones. And after you hear that clip, I interview Katherine in English about her experience over her first 6 months of learning Chinese. So, now let's listen to Katherine in Chinese on the topic of Wales, where she's from.

After 300 days of secretly studying Chinese, one guy surprises his partner with phrases like “the cheesecake is grieving” and “the purple elephant eats passion for breakfast.” It's a bit humorous, but it also highlights a bigger issue: extreme learning methods that feel productive but fall flat in practice.In this episode, Jared and John dive into seven common extremes they've seen (and lived) in the world of learning Chinese. From bingeing flashcards or grammar rules to over-relying on Duolingo or doing nothing but watch TV in Mandarin, these extremes can slow your progress, or worse, burn you out completely.Drawing on personal experience, stories from past podcast guests, and insights from language learning experts like Paul Nation, the hosts break down what works, what backfires, and how to build a more balanced and effective approach to learning Chinese.If you're stuck, overwhelmed, or questioning your methods, this episode will help you get back on track.Links from the episode:“Burnout, Breakthrough, and Fluency: Chaniece's Story” | YCLC Podcast“Vocab Apps and Learner Engagement” – Jonathan Covey Interview | YCLC Podcast“Steven Kaufmann “The Linguist” Interview” | YCLC PodcastHack Chinese | Modern flashcardsMandarin Companion Graded Readers

Who's been making hailstones fall? Find out on this week's PlayingFTSE Show.Steve W has had a dreadful week in the stock market and it's not been better for Spurs on the football pitch. But Steve D's here to save the show and the week. Rightmove shares crashed on Friday after the company issued its Q3 update. That bit was fine, but there are some lower profit margins on the way with AI investing.Is that enough to justify the stock falling so much? Steve W doesn't think so, but software stocks in general have been under pressure this week. Steve D has a new name for the show - Coherent. It's an AI infrastructure plan with the highest-paid CEO in the S&P 500. Figuring out the P/E isn't entirely straightforward, but they've done a nice job of selling off their aerospace and defence business. Definitely one for further consideration…Where can investor find software stocks that aren't in danger of crashing? Nowhere – but US local government platform provider Tyler Technologies might be worth a look. Steve W thinks its status as an approved provider won't be easy to emulate. The trouble is, it's trading at a P/E ratio of 64 and has some pretty high stock-based compensation.Duolingo shares crashed this week after the firm's update. Steve D's looking at some slightly light bookings and lower-than-expected user numbers. Steve W's more concerned about the firm's moat as it ramp up the number of language courses it offers via AI.

Het is hem gelukt. Elon Musk heeft zijn bonus van 1000 miljard dollar (van een biljoen) er doorheen gedrukt. Aandeelhouders van Tesla gingen massaal akkoord: 75 procent stemt voor. Als hij de komende 10 jaar alle doelstellingen haalt, krijgt hij die beloning. Deze aflevering hoor je of dat eigenlijk wel slim is van die aandeelhouders. Aandeelhouders die misschien ook niet veel anders konden voor voor stemmen, want ze werden gedwongen door de directie. Gaan meer beursbedrijven dit doen?Nu we het toch over een Amerikaans aandeel hebben, laten we het ook over andere Amerikaanse aandelen hebben. Die zijn (te wijten aan Donald Trump) een stukje minder geliefd. Sinds Liberation Day zijn buitenlandse beleggers uitgestapt en altijd nog niet terug. Dan is het tijd voor een follow-up. Een paar dagen geleden deed softwarebedrijf Bird een poging om CM.com over te nemen. 166 miljoen euro boden ze ervoor. Maar dat bod wordt keihard afgewezen. Verder hebben we het over de Chinese export. Die is onverwachts toch ingestort. Daarover gesproken: het aandeel van Duolingo is ook ingestort. Het taalbedrijf heeft de ergste beursdag achter de rug. Deze aflevering kijken we ook naar andere bedrijven die deze week werden afgestraft voor slechte cijfers. Zijn beleggers niet veel te streng?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

La traduction simultanée d'Apple arrive enfin en Europe en décembre. Aux Etats-Unis, j'ai testé cette fonction qui transforme les AirPods en véritables traducteurs personnels. Un véritable "game changer".Le rêve de la Tour de Babel devient réalitéApple déploie enfin en Europe sa fonction de traduction audio instantanée. Celle-ci sera disponible à partir de décembre 2025 sur les AirPods Pro 3 mais aussi sur les modèles précédents. Grâce à Apple Intelligence intégrée à iOS 26.1, la conversation est traduite en temps réel dans les écouteurs, sans passer par le cloud. J'ai pu tester cette fonction à New York : c'est bluffant. On parle en français, l'interlocuteur comprend immédiatement en anglais, et inversement. L'expérience reste fluide, naturelle et étonnamment fidèle.Comment fonctionne la traduction simultanéeLe système repose sur plusieurs briques technologiques : traitement audio intelligent, réduction du bruit et traduction locale grâce aux nouvelles puces A17 Pro et M4. Tout se passe sur l'iPhone, garantissant rapidité et confidentialité. Le service gère une dizaine de langues et fonctionne même si un seul utilisateur est équipé : l'écran affiche alors la traduction écrite en parallèle. C'est l'un des premiers exemples concrets d'intelligence artificielle embarquée et utile au quotidien.L'Europe, un défi technique et réglementaireSi cette innovation arrive avec trois mois de retard, c'est à cause d'un bras de fer entre Apple et Bruxelles. La réglementation européenne impose d'ouvrir le flux audio des appareils pour permettre à d'autres applications (comme Google Translate ou Duolingo) d'y accéder. Apple a dû créer une nouvelle API audio sécurisée pour préserver la vie privée tout en respectant la loi. Un compromis complexe, mais nécessaire.Une avancée… et un reculBonne nouvelle pour la traduction, mais mauvaise pour l'Apple Watch car Apple va supprimer en Europe la fonction de synchronisation automatique Wi-Fi entre iPhone et montre, faute d'accord réglementaire. Un petit changement, mais un gros symbole car c'est la première fois qu'une fonction existante disparaît du fait des règles européennes. Est-ce le début d'une triste série ? L'équilibre entre innovation, sécurité et souveraineté numérique n'a jamais été aussi fragile.-----------♥️ Soutienhttps://donorbox.org/monde-numerique

Want customers to talk about your brand without being asked? In this CX Pulse Check, we bring on Brooke Sellas, founder of B Squared Media and a leader in social customer care, to unpack how emotion—not content volume—creates durable connection, retention, and revenue. Together we push past vanity metrics and dig into signals that actually matter: the unsolicited thank-yous, the screenshots, the stitches, and the small moments of care customers can't help but share.Our conversation moves from principle to practice. We map out how to define success for customers and for the business, then build joy loops that reward participation and make advocacy feel like a feature. We talk candidly about creator care—how high-velocity social teams face relentless expectations and why, in the age of AI, creative risk is the differentiator. We also look inside modern support: when bots deflect FAQs, humans inherit the complex, emotional problems.We also break down Salesforce's decision to replace a lightly used help search with AI and the community backlash that followed. The lesson is clear: internal metrics don't equal external sentiment. Listening publicly, restoring a dedicated search capability, and co-creating with power users can turn friction into fuel.If you care about customer experience, social strategy, or contact center leadership, you'll leave with insights for measuring emotion, protecting the people who power your brand, and taking smart risks that cut through AI's sea of sameness.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a teammate, and leave a quick review.About Brooke Sellas:Brooke Sellas is shaping the future of digital marketing one conversation at a time. As an award-winning CEO, she leads B Squared Media, a boutique agency redefining 'social care' for brands like Brother International, Miele, and BCU. You can dive into her insights through her book Conversations That Connect, her thought leadership on CMSWire, or her expert-led courses—among them, three digital marketing courses at the University of California, Irvine (one focused on AI & Marketing) and a LinkedIn Learning course on Social Care.Learn More About B Squared Media at https://bsquared.media/Follow Brooke on...LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brookebsellas/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HelloBSquared/podcastsArticles Mentioned:- To Set Your Brand Apart, Create Moments of Shareable Joy (Harvard Business Review) -- https://hbr.org/2025/09/to-set-your-brand-apart-create-moments-of-shareable-joy- Duolingo's Departing Social Media Manager Talks Virality, Anxiety and Mental Health (The Wall Street Journal) -- https://www.wsj.com/articles/duolingos-departing-social-media-manager-talks-virality-anxiety-and-mental-health-63d36f40- Salesforce Responds to User Backlash Over Replacing Help Search with Agentforce (CX Today) -- https://www.cxtoday.com/crm/salesforce-responds-to-user-backlash-over-replacing-help-search-with-agentforce/Want to ask a question?

What happens when a green owl, a handful of improv rules, and zero fear collide? You get Duolingo, the internet's most unhinged, hilarious, and effective brand. Zaria Parvez is the creative force behind that chaos. As Duolingo's first-ever social media hire, she helped grow the brand from 50,000 to over 16 million followers, turning a dusty owl costume in the office into one of the most recognizable (and meme-worthy) characters on the planet. She opens up about how she built a culture of creativity rooted in improv, boldness, and trust. She shares how her team turned social media into the heartbeat of the brand and why “fear is the most expensive mistake” in marketing. You'll learn: > The wild origin story behind Death by Duo, the campaign that hit 1.7 billion impressions with no paid ads. > How Zaria uses improv comedy principles to fuel creativity, collaboration, and confidence. > Why giving social teams approval power and autonomy is the key to moving at the speed of culture. Whether you're a marketer, creator, or someone who just loves a good brand story, this episode will change the way you think about creativity online.

When askedabout their preferred platforms for receiving news, approximately one-third ofAmericans (34%) say they prefer television. Only a small percentage preferradio or print, with each garnering 5% of responses. Americanshave diverse preferences when it comes to digital news platforms. About 21% ofU.S. adults prefer getting their news from websites or apps, while 14% favorsocial media. Additionally, 10% prefer using search engines, 6% opt forpodcasts, and 3% prefer email newsletters. Fewer than 1% select AI chatbots astheir preferred source for news. According to a recent Pew Research survey. JackBrewster, the founder and CEO of Newsreel, is leading the charge in redefininghow we consume news. With a background as a journalist for Forbes andNewsGuard, as well as a Fulbright researcher focused on the effects of theinternet on our thinking, Jack aims to make news simple, engaging, andunmissable.  Over thepast decade, he has pondered a critical question: What if the way we consumenews is not only broken but purposefully designed to fail us? After researchingmisinformation, online extremism, and AI-generated content at NewsGuard andForbes, Jack created Newsreel—an app that reimagines news for those who havetuned out traditional forms of media. Imagine a combination of Duolingo and TheNew York Times, featuring interactive timelines, daily briefings, and newstailored to match short attention spans rather than encouraging endlessscrolling. JackBrewster's work has been featured in The New York Times, CNN, and TheWashington Post, and he has appeared on national television numerous times.What distinguishes Jack is that he is not just identifying the problems in newsconsumption; he is actively creating solutions. His work lies at theintersection of media, design, psychology, and technology. For moreinformation, visit: https://newsreel.co/

Un sistema simple para lograr constancia en Instagram usando inteligencia artificial, en solo una hora a la semana. Se trata de fijar tres pilares de contenido sostenibles durante todo el año, armar un banco de ideas, grabar en lote, programar y conversar con la audiencia. La IA acelera el proceso, pero tú decides el criterio y el tono. Casos como Decathlon España, Duolingo, Headspace y el Museo del Prado muestran que la clave no es innovar cada día, sino repetir formatos que funcionan, con promesas claras y micro‑resultados en cada pieza. Este episodio te enseña a aplicar ese enfoque con ejemplos y un plan de acción concreto que puedes empezar ya.La hora mágica se reparte en cuatro bloques de 15 minutos: ideas y guiones para tus tres pilares, grabación en lote de tres vídeos, edición mínima y portadas legibles, y programación con respuestas guardadas para mensajes. Mide semanalmente guardados, DM iniciados, retención de tus vídeos y visitas al perfil; si suben, estás conectando; si bajan, adelanta el resultado al inicio para captar atención.

Este episodio te revela un atajo práctico para que tus Reels ganen visibilidad y ventas en 2025. La clave es simple: captar la atención en los dos primeros segundos y cerrar con una invitación clara a actuar. La fórmula gancho, tres pasos y cierre con DM funciona: arranca con un gancho que plantee un problema real, sigue con tres pasos fáciles de aplicar y cierra pidiendo “Escríbeme LISTA por DM y te envío el recurso”. Verás ejemplos de Duolingo, e.l.f. Cosmetics y Tastemade: historias breves que conectan, ganan visibilidad y, al final, invitan a una interacción uno a uno. Además, se destaca el poder de las colaboraciones para ampliar alcance con dos audiencias distintas.Para ponérselo fácil, el episodio ofrece pautas claras: cortes cada dos o tres segundos, mostrar el resultado desde el primer segundo y guiar a un recurso por DM para convertir visitas en ventas. Si un Reel no despega, hay tres ajustes rápidos: cambiar la portada por una frase clara, mostrar el resultado de inmediato y rematar con una palabra clave para DM. Se recomienda producir tres Reels en una hora, con cambios de camiseta o fondo, subtítulos grandes y voz que explique algo útil. ¿Listo para probarlo?

Pope Leo is drawing criticism from some U.S. Catholics over his consistent pro-life ethic, particularly after responding to questions about Chicago Cardinal Blase Cupich's plan to honor Senator Dick Durbin with a lifetime achievement award, despite Durbin's support for abortion rights. While he said he was not familiar with all the details, Pope Leo expressed confidence in Cardinal Cupich's judgment and emphasized that being truly “pro-life” means opposing not only abortion but also the death penalty and the “inhumane treatment of immigrants.” Senior Vatican correspondent Gerard O'Connell notes on “Inside the Vatican” that the pope's “honeymoon period” appears to have ended as he speaks his mind on church teaching. Also on the show: Pope Leo calls the Israel–Hamas ceasefire "a spark of hope," Cardinal Cupich's new Vatican appointment, upcoming synod gatherings and speculation about the pope using Duolingo to learn German at 3 a.m. Links from the show: Pope Leo pleads for a just peace as cease-fire in Gaza holds Pope Leo tells border bishop: The American church needs ‘to be united' on migration Pope Leo is finding his voice on migrationPope Leo ice blessing sets off social media meltdown Credits: Producer: Ricardo da Silva, SJ Audio engineering and video editing: Kevin Christopher Robles Executive producer: Sebastian Gomes Inside the Vatican is a production of America Media.

American Express Debuts “AmEx Ads”: Leveraging first-party data from 34 million cardholders, AmEx enters the commerce media arena with an exclusive network housed on its own properties like AmexTravel.com, focusing on premium and affluent audiences. Commerce Media Competition Heats Up: With networks from Mastercard, Chase, and now AmEx, commerce media spending is projected to reach $170 billion in 2024, pushing companies to differentiate through niche audiences and unique value propositions.
