During the chaos of the holiday season, is it possible for small retailers to turn their fragmented customer data into a perfectly timed, personalized marketing, or are they destined to just add to the noise? Agility requires not just collecting customer data from every channel, but having the insight and tools to act on it in the moments that matter most. It's the ability to translate a customer signal into a relevant experience, instantly.Today, we're going to talk about how small and mid-sized retailers can punch above their weight during the critical holiday season. We'll explore the challenge of turning fragmented customer data from online browsing, email clicks, and even in-store visits into a cohesive strategy that drives precision-targeted campaigns, creates loyal customers, and, most importantly, delivers measurable ROI in a complex, multi-channel world.

Mike Gioseffi and Jesse Gibson open the show with a beginner-friendly guide to entering the sports card hobby. They cover how to approach breaks, what research actually matters, and where the line really is between cleaning a card and altering it. Upper Deck President Jason Masherah then joins the show for an unfiltered conversation about the state of the hobby. He dives into card pricing, how wealthy collectors influence spending, and why manipulation goes far beyond shill bidding. Jason also explains the tension between serving collectors and answering to shareholders, why Upper Deck doesn't sell hobby boxes direct on its site, the realities behind products like The Cup, and the realities of breaking scams. He sticks around for mailbag questions covering Scotty Scheffler card possibilities, how ePack actually works, and why certain products are designed specifically for hobby-first buyers. After Jason signs off, Mike and Jesse tackle more mailbag questions on anonymous eBay sales, what could spark the hobby's next downturn, and the long-term impact of high-end releases.

On today's show, we're chatting with Renée Morin, Chief Sustainability Officer at eBay. eBay has been in the resale game since 1995 – long before 'recommerce' was even a term. Today, as Chief Sustainability Officer, Renée leads eBay's environmental programs and sustainability strategy. In this episode, Renée shares her journey from being the kid who petitioned her school to stop using styrofoam plates to leading sustainability efforts at one of the world's largest recommerce platforms. She shares how her time in the Peace Corps brought environmental concerns into sharp focus, and how she found her way to the perfect career at the intersection of sustainability and business at eBay. Plus, she breaks down eBay's fifth annual Recommerce Report, which has just been released – revealing that nine in ten consumers plan to maintain or increase their secondhand spending, with Gen Z leading the charge.  We dive into how tech is revolutionizing the search and listing experience, why Renée thinks "thrill of the find" is replacing "thrill of the hunt," and what policy changes could accelerate the circular economy. It's an eye-opening conversation about where recommerce has been and where it's headed next, so let's dive right in!

At the heart of University College London lies a long-forgotten map library packed with thousands of maps and atlases. Professor James Cheshire stumbled upon it, and spent three years sifting through hundreds of dusty drawers to see what was there. He was stunned to uncover some of the most significant maps and atlases from the last two centuries - many of which had not seen the light of day for decades. In The Library of Lost Maps: An Archive of a World in Progress (Bloomsbury, 2025) we discover atlases for the masses that expanded nineteenth-century horizons, and maps that were wielded by those in power to wage war and negotiate peace; charts that trace the icy peaks of the Himalayas and the deepest depths of the ocean; and pioneering maps produced to settle borders in central Europe or the wealth of those in inner-city London. Maps have played a vital role in shaping our scientific knowledge of the world, showing the impact of climate change and inspiring the theory of plate tectonics. They have also guided politicians, encouraging both beneficial reforms and horrific conquests, the consequences of which we continue to live with today. Brimming with astonishing discoveries, The Library of Lost Maps reveals why cartography really matters and how map-making has helped transform our understanding of the world around us. Our guest is: Professor James Cheshire, who is Britain's only Professor of Geographic Information and Cartography. A world-leading map maker, he is an elected fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences and has been recognized with awards from the Royal Geographical Society and the British Cartographic Society. When he is not making, writing about, or teaching with maps, he spends his time scouring eBay for them in the hope that one day he'll have a map library of his own. Our host is: Dr. Christina Gessler, who is an experienced writing coach and developmental editor for academics. She is the producer and host of the Academic Life podcast. She holds a Ph.D. in history, which she uses to explore what stories we tell and what happens to those we never tell.

Episode 184 – Cozy Couch, Christmas Cabaret & Chit ChatWelcome back to The Conner & Smith Show — and buckle up, because this episode is pure holiday chaos in the best possible way.Today we're talking Thanksgiving, we're talking my upcoming Christmas cabaret, and we're DEFINITELY talking about our brand-new couch, which — in true Conner & Smith fashion — gets delivered in the middle of the episode. Yes. You can literally hear our domestic life unfolding in real time. Hilarity absolutely ensues.It's cozy, it's ridiculous, it's festive, and it's the kind of episode where you feel like you're hanging out with us in the living room (because… you basically are).

In today's episode, I'm continuing what I started in episode 536 - where I wanted to turn a Rocketeer figurine that I found on eBay in to an articulated action figure.  But in the episode, the silicone I had gotten turned out to be bad, so I had to get some more in order to make a mold.  In the past two weeks, I bought a new kind of silicone (Smooth On Mold Star 30) as well as a new kind of resin to try (Smooth Cast 57D).  I was successful in making molds of the parts of the figurine.  It wasn't the most efficient use of silicone, I will say, since I probably could have found containers that were a bit smaller and wasted less, but if I don't use these molds in the future, I'll chop them up and use them as filler when making future molds.  Here are the two pieces:This is the lower body mold.This mess is the upper body mold; you may be able to see both sides of the figurine in relief on ether side.This is what it looks like when you are taking the casting out.  You can see here (my first attempt) that one arm didn't quite fill.  That happens sometimes if you don't quite have the air vents in the right places.Pictures at https://13thhr.wordpress.com/2025/12/01/the-thirteenth-hour-podcast-538-and-like-a-hood-ornament-84-continuing-a-rocketeer-resin-casting-project-making-the-prototype/⁠I was also curious to see if the resin I was using could be heated up with a heat gun to further bend the pieces.  Yes, the resin did get soft, but it ended up just breaking.  I did use a woodcarving tool to cut the limbs up further (never a bad idea to wear some eye protection and a N95 or equivalent mask when dealing with hot plastic) and then used epoxy resin (what I normally use to add details on custom figures) to meld the limbs back together in a new position.Here, I have the parts of the figure with newly formed arms and legs next to the original:I just need to clean up the dried epoxy resin, probably with a Dremel, and then figure out how to make joint pegs for the limbs and neck.  Then, I'll make one last mold of all the parts - 4 limbs, torso, head, and rocketpack so I can make resin copies of all the pieces.  That's what's to come in the next few weeks.If you haven't heard them yet, check out the conversations with Andy Last of the Beyond Synth podcast and Richie Billing, author of Together We Rise. Check out my interview on the Planet Texas Podcast, where we touch on toymaking - find it on Youtube.   Thanks, Javier, for having me on!I was also on Let's Talk Media with Vedant Akhauri for another fun conversation.  Check out the episode on Spotify.  Thanks, Vedant, for having me on!∞∞∞∞∞∞∞Once Upon a Dream, the second Thirteenth Hour soundtrack, is now out in digital form and on CD!   It is out on most major streaming services such as Bandcamp, Spotify, and YouTube Music.  (If you have no preference, I recommend Bandcamp since there is a bonus track there and you will eventually be able to find tapes and special editions of the album there as well.)  The CDs are out now!-Check out the pixelart music videos that are out so far from the album:-->Logan's Sunrise Workout: www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7SM1RgsLiM-->Forward: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9VgILr1TDc-->Nightsky Stargazing: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2S0p3jKRTBo-->Aurora's Rainy Day Mix: https://youtu.be/zwqPmypBysk∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞ Signup for the mailing list for a free special edition podcast, a demo copy of The Thirteenth Hour, and access to retro 80s soundtrack!Like what you see or hear?

Większość firm zaczyna ekspansję zagraniczną od złej strony.Wrzucają produkty na marketplace, odpalają reklamy… i czekają na cud.Tylko że — jak mówi Krzysztof Semp — to nie jest strategia. To najszybsza droga do frustracji.W tym odcinku rozmawiamy o tym, co tak naprawdę decyduje o sukcesie w cross-border e-Commerce. I dlaczego w 2025 roku wygrywają nie ci, którzy „wchodzą na Amazona”, ale ci, którzy rozumieją logikę ekspansji.To szczera, momentami brutalna rozmowa o tym:➡️ jak firmy same sabotują swoją sprzedaż,➡️ dlaczego marketplace'y dają iluzję wzrostu,➡️ gdzie kończy się łatwa skala, a zaczyna prawdziwy biznes,➡️ i dlaczego strategia ekspansji 2.0 wygląda zupełnie inaczej, niż myśli większość przedsiębiorców.Jeśli chcesz rozwijać e-Commerce mądrzej, uporządkować chaos w sprzedaży, albo zrozumieć, jak naprawdę działa cross-border — ten odcinek da Ci dużo więcej niż „porady o Amazonie”.

The leaves have fallen, which signals the return of the Illahee Sea Monster. Each time I drive by, I have more and more questions. First of all, did I really just see a sea monster?! What is that? How did it get there? Who made it?Join me on my quest to discover the origin of Bremerton's Nessie, Which led me through decades of environmental lawsuits and drama that nearly split the Illahee community in two before leading me to the name I was looking for - Meredith Jones.Here's the Illahee Sea Monster, in case you've never seen her:Slightly Terrifying. She's difficult to find photos of because the beach down there is private and covered with cameras. I think this gives a good sense of scale. That man is Meredith Jones, her creator. I've also dropped a pin on google maps, it's a rough approximation.The most recent photo I could find of Nessie is the one above, which I pulled down from Reddit. Taken by U/pastoriagym 3 years ago. Nessie's getting on in age a little, she's close to 30 years old and I haven't seen any reference to maintenance or restoration over the years.Stone IntarsiaHere are some photos of Meredith's Stone Intarsia works. These were difficult to find and I had to pull them off of a website called “Masters of Stone” through the Wayback Machine. As a result, they are all low resolution with the exception of the Lapidary Journal.Meredith's “Marsh Hawk” was featured as the cover for the August 1964 issue of Lapidary Journal, which I found of copy of on Ebay. Sadly, the inside cover informed they bumped the article about the piece out of the issue and I haven't figured out what issue the article ended up. The magazine has now been defunct for years. I contacted the only archive I could find online and made a request but have not heard back. If anyone has better pictures or a copy of the magazine with the article in it, I'd love to know about it! It's hard to appreciate the detail in these works with such low res photos. And now, for the old newspaper articles! You can see Meredith a little better in these. Most of these come from the Illahee mansion controversy but I've also included a handful about his involvement with the Kitsap Gem and Mineral society. I also snuck in one of his wife, Almira!Meredith Jones passed away in 2007, at the ripe old age of 95. His family and friends are the keepers of his creations to this day (at least, the ones that aren't permanently installed on a beach). Thank you for the intriguing gift you left the Illahee community, Meredith. I hope the sea monster continues to swim for another 30 years. To hear more, visit bremelore.substack.com

As we think about systems change, it's all too easy to get caught up the technical design of new institutions and 'system architecture'. But if we are being asked to consider a qualitatively different way governing, convening, educating, distributing resources - all of the fundamentals of society -then perhaps we can start by asking: What has LOVE got to do with any of it? As I share at the start of this episode, it's been clear to me that it's difficult to bring the concept of love into such discussions. So I really wanted to explore this a few courageous and amazing individuals, who I knew would be up for it! In this episode you'll hear from four amazing people working in quite different sectors - from existential risk, climate resilience to cognitive science to leadership and communications to teacher training and education. But all united by the willingness to talk about love as central to their work. Dr. Laura Penn is an expert in leadership communication and the speaking arts.

While digital live shopping has been popular for years in Asia, the phenomenon has only recently begun to take off in the U.S., thanks in large part to the rise of retail disruptor Whatnot. The platform's co-founder and CEO, Grant LaFontaine, joins Rapid Response to share how his team has managed to evoke the feel of in-person shopping inside an online experience, why he weighs “fun” versus FOMO as a customer-engagement tool, and how Whatnot's breakthrough is influencing other retailers and brands. LaFontaine also digs into the startup's response to deep-pocketed rivals like eBay, and why he believes the viral Labubu trend is here to stay.This episode is brought to you by Stripe.

Amazon launched a Temu killer, started selling certified used cars, and began rewriting product listings for AI bots…Factories across China and Vietnam are signaling early Lunar New Year shutdowns, and TikTok Shop had one of the biggest quarterly numbers in platform history. In today's Week in Review, you'll learn what's shaking global supply chains, how AI is becoming the new gatekeeper for ecommerce, what Amazon's new moves mean for sellers, and why 2026 will be the year operators pull away from dabblers.

At the heart of University College London lies a long-forgotten map library packed with thousands of maps and atlases. Professor James Cheshire stumbled upon it, and spent three years sifting through hundreds of dusty drawers to see what was there. He was stunned to uncover some of the most significant maps and atlases from the last two centuries - many of which had not seen the light of day for decades. In The Library of Lost Maps: An Archive of a World in Progress (Bloomsbury, 2025) we discover atlases for the masses that expanded nineteenth-century horizons, and maps that were wielded by those in power to wage war and negotiate peace; charts that trace the icy peaks of the Himalayas and the deepest depths of the ocean; and pioneering maps produced to settle borders in central Europe or the wealth of those in inner-city London. Maps have played a vital role in shaping our scientific knowledge of the world, showing the impact of climate change and inspiring the theory of plate tectonics. They have also guided politicians, encouraging both beneficial reforms and horrific conquests, the consequences of which we continue to live with today. Brimming with astonishing discoveries, The Library of Lost Maps reveals why cartography really matters and how map-making has helped transform our understanding of the world around us. Our guest is: Professor James Cheshire, who is Britain's only Professor of Geographic Information and Cartography. A world-leading map maker, he is an elected fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences and has been recognized with awards from the Royal Geographical Society and the British Cartographic Society. When he is not making, writing about, or teaching with maps, he spends his time scouring eBay for them in the hope that one day he'll have a map library of his own.

Outside of work, he is happily married for 15 years and is the father of four children ages eight, six, four and two. That makes him very busy at this stage in his life. He says there's little time for anything except work and family. So welcome to the podcast, Josh.Josh Gibson 00:00:45  Thank you. Thanks for having me.Josh Hadley 00:00:46  Well, with how busy you are with a young and growing family and the business, we're excited to have you share some of your time with us. So thanks again for joining us. What else is there that you know? You're saying that Amazon eats your margin for business lunch and dinner or for breakfast? Lunch and dinner, right? So what else is there that you know, people should be paying attention to? And Amazon specifically for now that, you know, there could be a lot of, you know, marginally going out the business.Josh Gibson 00:01:15  Yeah. I mean, it's important to to track your weights and your gyms and your categories of what products you're selling in because there's some products. Say you're selling a printer. A printer should be in an 8% category, but sometimes they'll slide into a 15% category. So you're losing that that amount of money. You don't see it unless you're tracking tracking it. Or they could dim it out wrong. Say something. They as they went through their Cuba scan, it dimmed out incorrectly. So being able to go in and update and fix those dimensions and then do do file backs on those. also trying to find better, more efficient ways to do inbound shipments. and so there's, there's tools out there that we use that can take like right now we're running a full truckload, for $400, inbound FBA, where that same truckload going, another the route could be 3 to $4000. So it's the more time you do this. And the nice thing about our team is we can sit in a bullpen and go, okay, what are you guys learning? What'd you find out? and trying to take our collective knowledge, plus being able to go to, like, this, scale and sell summit and meet other people that know more things and aggregate this information to become more valuable.Josh Gibson 00:02:19  which, to your point is, if you're an owner operator trying to do this yourself, it becomes complicated because you don't have the resources and the ability to to learn all these things. Yeah. But to your point, it's it's the weight in gems. It is the categories. It is inbound shipments. I'm blanking on a few others, but it's really managing that protection of your bottom line. that's important. And it's also like specifically with inbound shipments is the annoying part is you can get that FBI ID cleared, they can say fully received. And we've seen with some clients ten, 12 months later, they say, actually we're five short. And if you're not going back and reordering those, even though you thought you did a good job auditing it.

On this week's episode of The Therapy Crouch, it's a full-on domestic rollercoaster as Abbey and Peter catch up on a chaotic week of nits, new puppies, and the great household power shift.Abbey walks us through a full-blown nit prevention emergency that had her sprinting between ten shops and before getting a fringe, while Pete attempts to defend himself after the time he once cut off her entire hair extension at the root during a previous lice saga.We're also introduced to the newest — and slightly controversial — family member: Bambi, the tiny dog who arrived under Abbey's jumper after Pete had very explicitly said “absolutely no way” to another pet. Between debates about who actually runs the house, the kids' obsession with babies, and Pete being caught lying face-down on a bare mattress after a dads night out, the domestic chaos is at an all-time high.The pair also chat I'm A Celeb (even if neither of them seems to know the lineup), over-share in true Therapy Crouch style, and dive into some incredibly relatable listener dilemmas — from clingy partners to golf-related relationship politics.

A CMO Confidential Interview with Evan Wittenberg, Chief People Officer of VuMedi formerly CPO of Ancestry and Box, Google's Head of Leadership Development, and a Saturday Night Live Page. Evan discusses why HR has become a much tougher position over the last 5 years, AI's negative impact on leadership development, and the similarities between marketing and HR. Key topics include: his belief that every function should have a dedicated people partner; why "the burden of proof" is often higher for marketers; why he always interviews for "learning agility;" and why "doing the job you are hired for is better for your career than trying for "the next job." Tune in to hear questions marketers should ask in an interview and a great behind the scenes story from SNL Season 18. **What HR Really Thinks About Marketing — Evan Wittenberg (CPO) on CMO Confidential**Four-time Chief People Officer Evan Wittenberg sits down with host Mike Linton to unpack the real relationship between HR and Marketing: decision rights, how DEI evolves, AI's impact on entry-level careers, why hybrid work threatens apprenticeship, and what great CMOs do differently at the exec table.
