It's that time of year again: Brand Federation's Naughty & Nice list is out, and Matt Williams is here to break it down. Matt is President of Brand Federation and former CEO of The Martin Agency, where he led campaigns for GEICO, OREO, UPS, and Walmart. He's also a visiting professor at William & Mary, sharing decades of brand strategy know-how. On this episode, Matt reveals which brands earned “Nice,” which landed on “Naughty,” and what leaders can learn from both. What You'll Learn How brands end up on the Naughty list by ignoring customer context and cultural signals. How Delta, Starbucks, and others earned their spot on the Nice list through clarity, consistency, and smart leadership. Why edgy brand moves succeed or fail depending on strategy and self-awareness. How crisis response can turn a disaster into a win with creativity and cultural savvy. What Apple's place on the watch list says about innovation, risk, and the future of tech brands. Episode Chapters (00:00) Intro (00:52) Matt returns to the show (01:21) Why American Eagle's “Great Jeans” campaign backfired (03:52) Cracker Barrel's tone-deaf rebrand misstep (06:48) Target's DEI reversal and the cost of misunderstanding your customer (09:20) Southwest walks away from its differentiators (11:52) Meta's AI avatars go sideways (12:44) Delta earns a place on the Nice list (13:55) Starbucks returns to the core (16:55) How Astronomer turned crisis into comedy (21:15) Duolingo kills the owl (and nails it) (24:40) Navigating edgy vs. effective brand moves (24:51) Apple lands on the watch list (27:40) The brand that made Matt smile (29:17) Where to learn more about Brand Federation (30:08) Closing Matt Williams is the President of Brand Federation, a brand and marketing consultancy that helps organizations like Harvard, MIT, and Mercy Corps transform their brand strategy for growth and impact. Before that, he spent 26 years at The Martin Agency, rising through strategic planning roles to become CEO. During his tenure, he led strategy and campaigns for GEICO, OREO, UPS, Discover Financial, Benjamin Moore, and Walmart, while guiding the agency to national creative and effectiveness recognition. Matt also teaches as a Visiting Clinical Professor at William & Mary, where he brings decades of brand strategy expertise to future marketers. Matt lights up when talking about Duolingo, specifically the irreverent, persistent, slightly unhinged owl. The way Duolingo leans hard into its mascot's attitude — using humor, edge, and cultural relevance — reflects a brand that truly understands both itself and its audience. The owl's personality, storytelling, and strategic mischief never fail to make Matt smile. Connect with Matt on LinkedIn.

Jess says 2026 will split the AI tide (we unfortunately did have to touch on AI), with Meta's missing enterprise story dragging its CapEx dreams, while AWS is suddenly courting founders again.

Early winter weather has us pondering an alternate definition of “slush pile,” albeit the mucky, grey residue remaining after a city snowfall. Our Slush Pile is far more fresh, but still a wintry mix as we discuss the short story “Catherine of the Exvangelical Deconstruction” by Candice Kelsey. You might want to jump down the page and read or listen to it in full first, as there are spoilers in our discussion!   The story is set on the day of the Women's March, following 2017's Inauguration Day, but only references those events in the most glancing of ways. Instead the protagonist glances away to an array of distractions: Duolingo, a Frida Kahlo biography, a bat documentary, European architecture, banjo music, a stolen corpse flower, daydreaming, and actual dreaming. In the withholding of the protagonist's interiority, Sam sees a connection to Rachel Cusk's Outline, while Jason is reminded of early Bret Easton Ellis. The editors discuss how fiction might evoke the internet's fractioning of our attention, by recreating the fractioning or reflecting it?   We'd like to offer congratulations to Sam whose debut book of short stories, “Uncertain Times,” just won the Washington Writers Publishing House Fiction Prize. As always, thanks for listening!   At the table: Dagne Forrest, Samantha Neugebauer, Jason Schneiderman, Kathleen Volk Miller, Lisa Zerkle, and Lilllie Volpe (Sound Engineer)   Listen to the story “Catherine of the Exvangelical Deconstruction” read in its entirety by Dagne Forrest (separate from podcast reading) (Bio): Candice M. Kelsey (she/her) is a bi-coastal writer and educator. Her work has received Pushcart and Best-of-the-Net nominations, and she is the author of eight books. Candice reads for The Los Angeles Review and The Weight Journal; she also serves as a 2025 AWP Poetry Mentor. Her next poetry collection, Another Place Altogether, releases December 1st with Kelsay Books. (Website): https://www.candicemkelseypoet.com/ (Instagram): @Feed_Me_Poetry   Catherine of the Exvangelical Deconstruction Catherine's thumb hovers over Duolingo's question, her mind dim from doom scrolling, chest dead as TikTok. The green owl stares. She swears its beak is twitching.  “Got 5 minutes?”  She swipes Duo, that nosy bastard, and his taunting French flag icon away. “Non.” The apartment is dim, the air too still. Days feel hollow and unhinged, as if she's Edmond Dantès tossed off the cliff of Chatêau d'If, a brief and misplaced shell weighted to the depths of the sea. So much for learning a language to calm the nerves. Frida Kahlo's face stares from the page of a book she hasn't finished reading. “I should just return this already.” There are days she commits to her syllabus of self-education and days she resents it. Kahlo's eyes pierce her, and giving up feels like large-scale feminist betrayal—how she has shelved the artist, her wounds, tragic love, and all. But even sisterhood is too much this January 21st, and of all people, Kahlo would understand. Catherine opens her laptop and starts a documentary about bats instead. Chiroptera. A biologist with kind eyes speaks of their hand-like bones, the elastin and collagenous fiber wings. The chaos of nature is its own magic realism. She learns bats are vulnerable like the rest of us. Climate disruption and habitat loss. Plus white nose syndrome and the old standby, persecution by ignorant humans who set their caves aflame. In the documentary, there is a bat with the liquid amber eyes of a prophet. Maybe that's what this world has had too much of, she begins to consider. Mid-deconstruction of decades in the white, evangelical cesspit of high control patriarchy, Catherine sees the world as one big field day full of stupid ego-competitions like cosmic tug-a-wars. And prophets were some of the top offenders. King Zedekiah, for one, had the prophet Jeremiah lowered into a well by rope, intending he sink into the mud and suffocate. All because he warned the people of their emptiness. Her mind wanders to Prague, to art, to something far away that might fill her own cistern life. “Maybe next summer,” she whispers. “Charles Bridge, St. Vitus.” The rhythm of bluegrass hums through the speakers, enough to anchor her here, in this room, in this thin sliver of a world she cannot escape. “That could be the problem; I need to learn Czech. No, fuck Duo.” J'apprendrai le français. J'irai à Prague. Je verrai les vieux bâtiments. But then, something strange. The banjo's pluck feels different, deeper, its twang splitting the air. She Googles the history of Bluegrass, and the words tumble from the page, layering like the weight of a corpse settling into the silt off the coast of Marseille. The banjo isn't Appalachian in origin but rather West African—specifically from the Senegalese and Gambian people, their fingers strumming the akonting, a skin drum-like instrument that whispered of exile, of worlds ripped apart. American slavers steeped in the bitter twisting of scripture trafficked them across the Middle Passage, yet in the cruel silence of the cotton fields, they turned their pain into music. How are we not talking about this in every history class in every school in every state of this nation? The akonting, an enslaved man's lament, was the seed of a gourd that would bloom into the sounds of flatpicking Southerners. Still, the banjo plays on in Catherine's apartment. A much more tolerable sound than Duolingo's dong-ding ta-dong. But she can't quite cleanse her mind of the French lessons, of Lily and Oscar. Il y a toujours plus. Her voice is barely a whisper, trying to reassure herself. There must be more. A recurring dream, soft and gleaming like a pearl—her hands moving over cool clams, shucking them on a beach house in Rhode Island. It's a faint memory, but no less ever present. Aunt Norma and Uncle Francis' beach cottage and the closest thing to a Hyannis Port Kennedy afternoon of cousins frolicking about by the edge of a long dock lured back by the steam of fritters. But this time, Ocean Vuong stands beside her. He's talking about the monkey, Hartford, the tremors of the world. And the banjo has morphed into Puccini's La Bohème, which laces through the rhythm of Vuong's syntax like a golden libretto. They notice a figure outside the window, a shadow in the sand—the new neighbor? He's strange. A horticulturist, they say. Catherine hasn't met him, but there are rumors. “Did he really steal it?” Vuong asks. She practices her French—it's a dream after all—asks “Le cadavre fleuri?” They move to whispers, like a star's breath in night air. Rumor stands that in the middle of California's Eaton fire, the flower went missing from the Huntington Museum in Pasadena. The Titan Arum, bloated and bizarre in its beauty and stench, just vanished. Fran at the liquor store says the new neighbor, gloves always pressed to the earth, took it.  At night, she hears him in the garden, talking to the roots. She imagines his voice, murmuring something incomprehensible to the moonlight. Like that's where the truth lies—beneath the soil, between the cracks of broken promises, smelling faintly of rot. She recalls the history she once read, so distant, so impossibly rotten. During WWI, when the Nazis swept through Prague, they forced Jewish scholars to scour their archives. They wanted to preserve the so-called “best” of the Jews—manuscripts, texts, holy materials—for their future banjo-twisted Museum of an Extinct Race. She shudders. The music, the wild joy of the banjo, now seems infected with something ancient and spoiled. The act of collecting, of preserving, feels obscene. What do you keep? What do you discard? Whom do you destroy? She wakes from the dream, her phone still alive with French conjugations. The bluegrass hums, but it's heavier, like a rope lowering her into Narragansett Bay. The neighbor's house is dark. But she thinks she can see him, a silhouette against the trees, standing still as a warning. Everything is falling apart at the seams, and she is both a part of it and apart from it. Like each church she left, each youth group and AWANA or Vacation Bible School where she tried to volunteer, to love on the kids, to be the good follower she was tasked with being.  She leans her forehead against the cool glass of the window, closing her eyes. The ache is there, the same ache that never quite leaves. It's sharp, it's bitter, it's whole. The small, steady thrum beneath it all. Il y a toujours plus. Maybe tomorrow she will satisfy Duo. Maybe next fall she will dance down a cobbled street in Prague. Find five minutes to feel human. Perhaps she will be whole enough, tall as St. Vitus Cathedral, to face whatever is left of this America. She closes her eyes to Puccini's Mimi singing Il y a toujours plus and dueling banjos while her neighbor secretly drags a heavy, tarp-covered object across his yard under the flutter of Eastern small-footed bats out for their midnight mosquito snack. A scene only Frida Kahlo could paint.

If you're curious about the future of AI in enterprise solutions, this episode is a must-listen.Listen now YouTube | Apple | SpotifyQuotes from the episodeTraditional chatbots relied on rigid decision trees, leading to frustrating customer experiences, but Decagon's AI agents are trained like humans, enabling fluid, natural conversations.Decagon's AI agents follow Agent Operating Procedures (AOPs), which are similar to human SOPs, and this allows them to handle customer interactions across chat, phone, SMS, and email.The key is to focus on building AI agents that can follow instructions effectively, allowing businesses to offer personalized customer concierge services and seamless user experiences.Instead of predicting what customers want, AI should learn customer preferences and remember them, making interactions more seamless and efficient, enhancing overall satisfaction.What you'll learnUnderstand how Decagon AI is transforming customer support by using AI agents that can handle conversations across various channels.Learn about Agent Operating Procedures (AOPs) and how they enable AI agents to follow instructions and interact with customers like humans.Discover how Decagon AI helps businesses expand their support offerings, leading to higher retention and happier customers through increased support access.Explore the importance of solving customer problems quickly and seamlessly, regardless of whether the interaction is with a human or an AI agent.See how Decagon AI is expanding beyond customer support to offer customer concierge services, enabling personalized and friction-free interactions.Learn how focusing on customer needs and building something people will pay for can simplify early-stage company challenges.TakeawaysDecagon AI's agents use Agent Operating Procedures (AOPs) to mimic human-like interactions, which contrasts with older chatbot tech that relied on rigid decision trees.Unlike traditional approaches, Decagon AI focuses on creating a single agent adept at following instructions, improving onboarding and iteration for customers.Training smaller, fine-tuned models can outperform larger models on specific tasks, providing better performance and lower latency for customer interactions.Customer support is evolving into a brand differentiator, with companies like Amazon and American Express setting the standard for excellent service and customer trust.By making support more affordable, businesses can reinvest savings into providing more extensive support, leading to higher customer retention and satisfaction.Early customer acquisition requires manual effort, including networking, cold emailing, and LinkedIn messaging, with a focus on charging for the software from day one.Concentrating on building solutions that customers are willing to pay for within a short timeframe helps to validate business models and weed out unpromising ideas.Don't forget to subscribe and leave us a review/comment on YouTube, Apple, or Spotify.It helps us reach more listeners and bring on more interesting guests.Stay Curious, Nataraj

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.

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 entire system is built to keep us just uncomfortable enough that buying something feels like relief.” - Mara Einstein“It's funny — we call it doom scrolling, and yet we treat it like self-care. 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

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

What is amazingly working for many brands these days? Getting a mascot. That's right, a mascot. Duolingo's Unhinged Owl has 16.8 million TikTok followers and turns language into a social phenomenon without spending a dollar on traditional advertising and it's not an unusual one-off outcome. Mascots are proving to have high value at little cost when it comes to establishing brand traction. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

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.

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.

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/
