When Jo Boundy greenlighted the second series of CommBank's financial wellbeing series The Brighter Side on Paramount 10, she expected good things but maybe not as good as the audience engagement levels turned out. The bank’s The Brighter Side TV series garnered 2 million viewers. Tailored social content, which was “double stacked” in production with the TV series, reached another 8 million in social media and Boundy says 80 per cent of people who watched the show “took an action to improve their finances … so we're seeing when the content is relevant, when it's utility, when it connects with people, it's really making a difference.” And Boundy is tantalisingly close to tagging her brand content program as a full funnel silver bullet. “It is such a critical piece in the full funnel tool kit,” she says. “It’s a really cluttered market so we have used our content to help build that consideration and then it ultimately goes through to conversion with customers.” It’s the latter point around creating compelling, relevant brand-originated content across rapidly changing formats and distribution channels that Nick Smith, Managing Director of content agency Medium Rare, says has spawned a “nuanced shift” from in-house “content ecosystems”, often led by corporate affairs teams or viewed through the lense of performance marketing. "That’s a company-centric approach,” says Smith on how corporate content ecosystems are typically run. “We’ve got to get particular messages out on our own channels and it’s lined up with the calendar of business objectives and all the things we want to tell the customer.” “Brand worlds” flip the content model to start with what “a consumer is doing in the real world,” says Smith. “It’s a different content approach than just talking about products.” Boundy says it’s a welcome shift – content starts with designing first for a customer problem or need. All of this new thinking and brand content trends has been captured in News Australia’s recent 2026 Future of Brand Content report – among the headline statistics is that brand content consumption is up 11 per cent. Trust and the relevance of brand-originated content among consumers increased by double digits. The former adman and CEO of WPP ANZ, Mike Connaghan, jumped from advertising to content when he was appointed to run News Australia’s commercial content division, which includes Medium Rare, Storyation, Suddenly and Visual Domain. Connaghan says the likes of CommBank, Qantas, Chemist Warehouse, Coles and Bunnings are all firing with their brand content programs. He agrees with Boundy that they drive results through the funnel to purchase, rather than just mid. “They’re creating mini publishing businesses for themselves,” says Connaghan. “We also work with Chemist Warehouse on the House of Wellness. It’s a media conglomerate. They have a huge print presence, they advertise very heavily through News Corp newspapers, they've got their own radio, they've got their own podcasts, they've got their own TV shows, all of which we are helping them with. It's a really powerful platform for them. So the sector is in high demand and high interest. Having people like Jo and Commonwealth Bank step into the breach in financial services has only really stirred more interest.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How Do Marketplaces Turn AI Ambition Into Scalable, Trusted Enterprise Reality? That is the question I explore in this episode with Julie Teigland, Global Vice Chair for Alliances and Ecosystems at EY, someone who sits right at the intersection of enterprise demand, technology platforms, and the ecosystems that increasingly power modern AI adoption. As organizations race to deploy AI at scale, many are discovering that the real challenge is not a lack of tools, but the complexity of choosing, integrating, governing, and standing behind those decisions with confidence. Julie explains why marketplaces are becoming a powerful mechanism for reducing friction in this process, helping enterprises move beyond experimentation toward AI solutions that are trusted, scalable, and aligned with real business outcomes. We talk about how marketplaces can collapse complexity, curate choice, and bring much needed clarity to leaders who are overwhelmed by the sheer volume of AI options available today. Julie also shares how EY approaches this challenge through its "client zero" mindset, turning the lens inward and treating EY itself as the first marketplace customer. By doing so, EY stress tests governance, security, and integration at real enterprise scale, serving tens of thousands of clients, running hundreds of thousands of servers, and processing hundreds of millions of transactions every day. That internal experience shapes how EY helps clients navigate trust, accountability, and cross-vendor integration risks, particularly as AI becomes more embedded into workflows and decision-making. We also explore how strong alliances with cloud leaders like Microsoft and SAP are shaping how AI solutions are vetted, standardized, and deployed across industries, as well as how regulation, particularly in Europe, is influencing a shift toward responsibility by design. This conversation goes beyond technology to focus on orchestration, trust, and outcomes, and why marketplaces are evolving from simple app stores into something far more strategic for enterprise AI. If you are trying to understand how ecosystems, governance, and marketplaces can help turn AI from isolated projects into sustained business value, this episode offers a thoughtful and grounded perspective.  I would love to know what resonated with you most. How do you see marketplaces shaping the future of AI adoption inside your organization? Useful LInks Connect With Julie Teigland Learn More About EY

Strength in Systems: Setting Up America's Next 250 YearsEconomists predicted collapse. Tariffs, protectionism, pandemic shocks - the global economy should have broken. It didn't. What we're witnessing isn't fragmentation. It's rebalancing. Nodes within the system - countries, industries - are reasserting their own interests after decades of subordination to global optimization. The network isn't breaking. It's healing. Look at the conflicts that haven't escalated. Those that have resolved. Russia-Ukraine contained. No move on Taiwan. Venezuela intervention precise, limited, wildly successful. The Middle East hasn't exploded into a broader war. Economic and strategic geopolitical ecosystems are exerting stabilizing pressure that few expected possible. Trade flourishes despite biased rhetoric. This is emergent peacekeeping – thoughtful, strategic interconnection that raises the cost of conflict beyond what actors will pay.Season 7 launches as America marks its 250th anniversary. The question: can we design ecosystems robust enough to deliver peace through strength, resilient enough to withstand disruption, and valuable enough to maintain cohesion? Six seasons and 118 episodes revealed the pattern: the future belongsto orchestrated ecosystems, not heroic platforms. Season 7 asks the questions that define the next 250 years.Paradigm Shifts:

Garden insects — from bumblebees to centipedes — play essential but often overlooked roles in pollination, decomposition and pest control that keep ecosystems thriving. 

On this episode of Daily Creative, we explore the myth of the lone genius and make the case for why sustainable creative brilliance happens when we grow and nurture real relationships. We're joined by Daniel Coyle, bestselling author and researcher, whose new book Flourish examines how true growth emerges not through competition, but through intentional connection and community.We discuss why relationships sit at the heart of creativity, what it means to build a meaningful circle, and how to design environments where both individuals and groups can grow. Daniel shares practical insights on “making meaning” and “group flow,” illustrating how small acts—like telling stories or organizing joyful gatherings—can catalyze shared energy and transformation. We reflect on why the most profound creative work, and indeed the solutions to our most complex problems, are more likely to be found at the neighborhood level than through grand top-down initiatives.This conversation isn't just about feeling less alone; it's a blueprint for intentional action in your creative life. We leave you with a challenge: take one step this week to strengthen your creative community, whether that's reaching out to a peer, convening a group, or simply asking deeper questions.Five Key Learnings from the Episode:Community Is Creative Infrastructure: Creativity doesn't thrive in isolation. The most resilient, sustainable creative work is built on relationships that provide stability, challenge, and honest feedback.Cultivate, Don't Compete: Flourishing is about shared, meaningful growth—think gardens, not games. Real creative communities are spaces for nurturing, not just winning or accumulating.Design for ‘Beautiful Messes': Innovation and group flow emerge when we intentionally create environments where people can experiment, collaborate, and bring out new facets in each other—even if things get a little messy.Deep Questions Build Trust: Asking ambiguous, personal “deep questions” unlocks vulnerability, connection, and trust far more quickly than waiting for trust to appear before opening up.Power With, Not Power Over: Leaders unleash real growth when they support, ask great questions, and give power away—moving from controlling outcomes to facilitating collective brilliance.Get full interviews and bonus content for free!

We are excited to invite Mathia Milani back for another episode on the Mangu.tv podcast series. Mathia Milani is one of the founders of Tierra Iris, a living ecosystem rooted in Ibiza and expanding beyond it. What began as an experiment in regenerative farming has grown into an ongoing practice of community living — where land, relationships, and shared responsibility are learned through daily life. Tierra Iris brings together creative and conscious people to explore what it truly means to live and work together: navigating care, conflict, commitment, and reciprocity in alignment with natural cycles. It is both a home and a learning field — imperfect, alive, and continuously evolving. In addition, he is developing a retreat centre in Tuscany called Madre Selva.Mathia speaks about experimental living, sharing some of the challenging moments he experienced during the process of creating and growing Tierra Iris. Giancarlo and Mathia discuss the impact of community living, sharing their own experiences of spaces in Ibiza,  and the benefits of these places for growth and development. Mathia shares his plans for his new project, Madre Selva, a retreat centre in Tuscany and speaks about the space and the practices they intend to share from there.

In this in-depth episode of The Think Wildlife Podcast, host Anish Banerjee speaks with Hamza Butt, about one of the most urgent yet under-discussed challenges facing conservation today: how to reconcile development with the protection of fragile mountain ecosystems.Hamza's work sits at the intersection of sustainable linear infrastructure, biodiversity conservation, and climate policy. Drawing on his experience in Pakistan and across the Hindu Kush Himalaya, he explains how roads, railways, pipelines, and other forms of linear infrastructure can fragment habitats, disrupt ecological connectivity, and intensify human-wildlife conflict. For wide-ranging species like the snow leopard, even a single road can sever movement routes across vast mountain landscapes, increasing mortality risks and altering behaviour in ways that cascade across entire ecosystems.The conversation delves deeply into snow leopard conservation and the realities facing mountain biodiversity in Pakistan. With fewer than 200 snow leopards estimated to remain in the country, pressures from climate change, infrastructure expansion, and habitat loss are converging at unprecedented speed. Hamza describes how shrinking prey bases and degraded habitats push snow leopards closer to human settlements, leading to retaliatory killings and escalating conflict. These dynamics make snow leopard conservation inseparable from broader questions of mountain ecology, livelihoods, and equitable development.A central theme of the episode is how sustainable linear infrastructure can be planned differently. Hamza outlines how evidence-based decision-making, robust environmental impact assessments, and the mitigation hierarchy can help avoid, reduce, and offset ecological damage. From wildlife crossings and noise reduction to strategic route planning, he explains how infrastructure can coexist with mountain biodiversity conservation when guided by data rather than box-ticking exercises.Listeners will also gain insight into global policy processes, including how international guidance on infrastructure and biodiversity is translated into national action. Hamza reflects on the challenges of working in data-poor regions, the risks of poorly designed EIAs, and the importance of aligning climate change responses with biodiversity conservation goals. Throughout the episode, mountain conservation emerges not as a niche concern, but as a frontline issue for sustainable development in a warming world.This episode is essential listening for anyone interested in snow leopard conservation, sustainable linear infrastructure, mountain biodiversity, human wildlife conflict, and the future of biodiversity conservation in high-altitude ecosystems under climate change pressure.#sustainablelinearinfrastructure #linearinfrastructure #snowleopard #snowleopardconservation #mountainbiodiversity #mountainconservation #mountainbiodiversityconservation #humanwildlifeconflict #climatechange #biodiversityconservation #mountainecology Get full access to The Think Wildlife Podcast at anishbanerjee.substack.com/subscribe

In today's episode, I sit down with Sylvester Raymond, founder and CEO of Piñata Digital Marketing, to talk about a radical alternative to ads, pop-ups, and manipulative targeting. Sylvester explains how his patent-pending system monetizes natural buying behavior without interrupting games, apps, streaming, or content. We talk about why people are paying billions to avoid ads, how ethical marketing can actually increase trust and returns, and why closed ecosystems matter for creators, brands, and platforms. We also get into plug-and-play integration, white-label wallets, and what it takes to build something big without losing humility or patience along the way.

It was a real pleasure to welcome Dr. Nikhil Kalathil to the Manufacturing in the American Century podcast. Nikhil earned his PhD from Carnegie Mellon in Engineering and Public Policy, and serves as a Senior Advisor of Ecosystem Assessment to AMCC. He brings a rare combination of engineering background and policy focus to the challenge of rebuilding U.S. manufacturing capacity. His work focuses on understanding regional manufacturing ecosystems and why certain places succeed in producing priority products that are critical to economic resilience and national security.In our conversation, we dig into what makes manufacturing uniquely well-positioned for deep federal policy and ecosystem-building activities: it has measurable inputs and outputs, requires coordination across complex systems, and generates powerful spillover benefits for workers, firms, and regions. Nikhil walks through the core elements of healthy manufacturing ecosystems, including workforce, innovation, infrastructure, supply chains, trade, and capital access, and explains how agglomeration, visibility, and regional fit shape real-world outcomes.Our conversation ended with Nkhil giving a grounded but hopeful charge for the field. In a moment defined by uncertainty, the smartest path forward for regions is to make bets that reduce risk by aligning state leadership, federal support, manufacturers, suppliers, universities, and startups around clear, mission-driven goals. When regions coalesce around shared conviction and a belief in what they are building, the noise of shifting markets matters less. Technologies, policies, and signals will always change, but building tangible things that improve people's lives endures. Thanks, Nikhil, for all your work and contributions to the field!

The Aravallis are the green lungs of northern India. They are a defensive wall that protects the fertile Indo-Gangetic plains from desertification – from an eastward expansion of the Thar desert.  But over the years, commercial exploitation has put this fragile ecosystem under immense strain. On November 20th, the Supreme Court ruled that only Aravalli hills above 100 metres tall would enjoy environmental protection. This created a major public outcry, with people pointing out that in Rajasthan's Aravallis alone, barely 1,048 hills out of 12,081, would qualify. In other words, most of the Aravallis would be exempted from any environmental protection.  On December 28, the Supreme Court stayed its own order. It has also mooted the constitution of a new panel of experts to study the issue more closely, especially the prospects for what it calls “sustainable mining”.  Is sustainable mining of the Aravallis possible? And how can we ensure that they receive at least the bare minimum of environmental protection?  Guest: Kanchi Kohli, well known expert in environment and forest policy Host: G.

Podcast: Bites and Bytes PodcastEpisode: How AI, Data, and Digital Agronomy Will Reshape Our Food Systems with Serg MasisPub date: 2025-12-21Get Podcast Transcript →powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarizationIn this episode, Kristin King sits down with Serg Masis, a data scientist at Syngenta, to explore how AI, data, and digital agronomy are reshaping modern agriculture (Agronomy is the science of how crops are grown—soil, climate, plants, and farming practices working together).Serg brings an engineering mindset to AI, explaining it less like science fiction and more like a murder mystery,  where multiple perspectives, incomplete information, and interpretation matter just as much as the data itself. Rather than treating AI as a black box, he breaks down how understanding why a system makes a decision is just as important as the decision itself.Together, they talk about decision-making in farming,unintended consequences in complex systems, and why changing one thing in agriculture often creates ripple effects elsewhere. If you're curious about how technology is quietly influencing what we grow, how we farm, and what ends up on our plates, this conversation will change the way you think about food and data.---------------Guest Contact InformationGuest Info — Serg MasisWebsite: https://www.serg.ai/#about-meBooks & Writing: https://www.serg.ai/writing/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/smasis/Employer (Syngenta): https://www.syngenta.com/---------------Episode Key Highlights00:11:00 — Why AI Is About Better Decision-Making, Not Replacing Humans00:13:19 — The Three Inputs of Agriculture: Environment, Genetics, and Decisions00:17:20 — Sustainability, Ecosystems, and Runaway Effects in Farming00:25:33 — AI as a Murder Mystery: Interpretation, Bias, and Perspective00:34:26 — Crop Collapse, Monocultures, and Why This Isn't Science Fiction---------------

Together, they discuss artistic innovation across Africa, the power of cultural entrepreneurship, and how younger generations are shaping the future of art on the continent and beyond.This is a conversation about building platforms, expanding narratives, and reimagining what global cultural leadership can look like.

Season's Greetings Glocal Citizens! I met this week's guest, Derrick N. Ashong, earlier this year in Nairobi at the Charter Cities Institute, 2025 New Cities Summit (https://youtu.be/d9XUzdxKmzo?si=FbITjI8Git8kEb9Q). At the summit, we connected as storytellers that share Ghanaian heritage and formative years spent in Brooklyn, New York. In a glocal citizenship twist, we later came to find that we met virtually years prior through mutual connections in the media and arts spaces. Derrick's work leverages his international upbringing which informs his company's vision for Turning Culture into Currency for creators and fans worldwide. He does this as founder and CEO of TBTM, a media fintech that uses content to onboard global audiences to inclusive financial solutions, with partners like Mastercard. While still a student at Harvard, he played a supporting role in Steven Spielberg's Amistad, and went on to top charts with his band, winning a Billboard Songwriting Award. As a host and producer, he pioneered multi-platform interactive content with Oprah Winfrey, and major media platforms including ABC-Disney and Univision, earning three Emmy nods and a Royal Television Society Award. His original Take Back the Mic television series has won seven major international awards and achieved 1.1 Billion media impressions worldwide. He has delivered electrifying speeches on issues of Youth Culture and Tech for UK Parliament, the United Nations, and the world's most elite business schools, including Harvard, Stanford, MIT, Wharton, Cambridge and London School of Economics. He has interviewed celebrities and global luminaries ranging from Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Kofi Annan, to Zoe Saldaña, Kevin Hart and Steven Wozniak, among others. Most recently, he has delivered keynote speeches for Mastercard, Mobile World Congress in Barcelona and Kigali, as well as SuperReturn Africa--the continent's top investment forum. In this conversation we get to know even more about the next phase of Derrick's vision for flipping the script on creative industry infrastructure in Africa. #Listenandlearn more!

Most entrepreneurs think affiliate marketing is a side hustle or a distraction from building real offers. In this episode of The Russell Brunson Show, Doug Boughton completely reframes that belief. What he shares is not about quick commissions or one-off launches. It is about building an affiliate ecosystem that compounds over time, increases authority, shortens sales cycles, and quietly feeds your own offers without pulling you away from your current business. Doug walks through how affiliate marketing became his most freeing income stream and why it now sits at the center of his long-term business and legacy strategy. If you sell anything online, whether you are just getting started or already have your own offers, this episode will change how you think about traffic, collaborations, and growth. Doug breaks down the exact ways affiliate marketing can amplify everything you are already doing instead of competing with it. Key Highlights: ◼️Why affiliate marketing works best when it enhances your core offers instead of replacing them ◼️How to use other people's launches and attention waves to grow your audience, authority, and credibility ◼️The three ways affiliate ecosystems work together: other people's offers selling yours, your offers selling theirs, and customers becoming promoters ◼️How email segmentation and integration marketing turn non-buyers into long-term customers ◼️The strategy and platform behind building an army of affiliates promoting your business ◼️Why longevity, alignment, and recurring value matter more than short-term affiliate payouts Doug's presentation is a masterclass in leverage, and long-term thinking. Instead of chasing ‘quick' tactics, he shows how doing the right things consistently builds momentum that pays off for years. He's showing you how affiliate marketing is all about creating win-win relationships, serving your audience better, and letting your business grow through trust and collaboration. If you want a model that creates freedom while strengthening your core offers, this episode lays out the path clearly. ◼️If you've got a product, offer, service… or idea… I'll show you how to sell it (the RIGHT way) Register for my next event →⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://sellingonline.com/podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ◼️Still don't have a funnel?

In today's episode, I'm sharing one of my favorite ways to bring more purpose, connection, and deeper learning into your literacy block: thematic planning. This approach—sometimes called cross-curricular instruction—was a huge shift for me when I first transitioned to an IB school. Instead of treating reading, writing, science, and social studies as separate silos, I learned how to plan around big ideas and guiding questions that tied all of our learning together. While it took time to adjust, it completely transformed the way my students engaged with content and how meaningful our classroom learning felt.Throughout the episode, I walk you through what thematic planning is, why it's so powerful, and how you can start using it even if your school doesn't require it. I share my personal experience with moving away from isolated, checklist-style instruction and embracing a more integrated, inquiry-driven approach. I also break down the five simple steps to designing your own thematic unit—everything from choosing a strong guiding question, to selecting connected texts, to building background knowledge, to weaving reading and writing standards into meaningful science or social studies learning. My goal is to show you that thematic planning doesn't have to be overwhelming or reserved for specialized programs. It's absolutely doable in any upper elementary classroom.You'll also hear practical examples of what this looks like day to day, ideas for connecting literacy skills to real-world reading and writing, and a reminder that thematic planning is one of the best ways to build students' content knowledge—something we simply don't get enough time for in traditional schedules. Whether you create a week-long mini unit or a full multi-week study, thematic planning opens the door to richer discussions, more engaged readers and writers, and learning that sticks. If you decide to give thematic planning a try, I'd love to hear what topic you choose and how it impacts your students' learning.***This episode is a replay of Episode 119, and it's one worth revisiting as you think about planning for the months ahead.Check out my Nonfiction Science Reading Passages: Focus on Ecosystems, Focus on Biomes, Focus on Heredity.Check out my Sentence Writing Routine resource here!Join us in the Stellar Literacy Collective Membership: stellarteacher.com/join!Sign up for my FREE private podcast, the Confident Writer Systems Series, here!Sign up for my FREE Revision Made Easy email series here!Follow me on Instagram @thestellarteachercompany.

The Gulf as One System: Bahrain's Aerospace EcosystemMany organizations get too big to succeed. Bahrain is small enough to call the minister and align an ecosystem over coffee. That's not a limitation—it's infrastructure. Leena Faraj spent a decade proving that relationship density beats bureaucratic scale. One island. Neighbors who outspend you ten to one. The puzzle: how do you win when you can't win the resource game? The answer: don't fight for the whole trip—win the increment. For some, Bahrain may not be big enough for two-week stays. But "pop in for a couple of days" works when the Gulf operates as one system. Regional partnerships turn constraints into market expansion.The method: incubate what government can't control, prove it works, and hand it back. Tamkeen for SMEs. Mumtalakat—the sovereign fund whose subsidiaries now include McLaren. Airport operations are separated from the regulator. Ten years of lobbying later: Bahrain's first National Aviation Strategy.Paradigm Shifts:

The 'D' Got Deleted: How VC Funding Broke the Innovation EcosystemLast week's whitepaper isn't production-ready. But someone's already pitching it to your board. Kence Anderson has deployed 100+ autonomous AI systems for Fortune 500 companies—and watched venture capital create a research-to-PR pipeline that skips development entirely. The 'D' in R&D got deleted. Hype cycles got amplified.Rule-based AI—systems encoding expertise as decision logic—was the 1980s breakthrough. Overhyped, then abandoned when it couldn't do everything. But engineers kept deploying it where codified rules excel: industrial controls, diagnostics, compliance. It's running critical infrastructure today. Every AI wave follows this arc. For leaders, the lesson: stop asking which technology wins. Ask what each does well—and build modular systems that match capabilities to tasks. The fix: if AI can learn, someone should teach it the right way. Machine teaching—goals, scenarios, strategies—creates modular agents that compound capability through orchestration.Paradigm Shifts:

Our understanding of the body's internal clocks is rapidly evolving, with new research shedding light on the powerful effects of circadian rhythms. From the way artificial light disrupts our sleep patterns to how animals' natural cycles offer valuable insights into human health, the science is undeniable. Dr. Philippa Gander, a leading expert in sleep and circadian rhythms and author of Life in Sync: The Science of Internal Clocks and How We're Disrupting Them explains how these disruptions impact not just humans but entire ecosystems, including marine life. Her groundbreaking work also reveals the profound effects of light pollution, offering fresh perspectives on how we can better align our lives with our biological clocks. In this conversation with Peter Bowes, Gander also highlights practical ways we can make adjustments to better sync our lives with nature's rhythms for improved health and well-being.Photo credit: Lucia Zanmonti-----This podcast is supported by affiliate arrangements with a select number of companies.

Stack or Stall: Why Credentials Collapse but Ecosystems CompoundLast year's Chemistry Nobel went to non-chemists. The lasting power of domain-specific credentials is collapsing - but David Julian has seen this pattern before across four technological revolutions and knows what compounds instead. From Hotjobs.com to Google's global EdTech partnerships, Julian identified what separates transformative innovations from footnotes: they teach users something new, reduce friction, and fundamentally improve lives. Now on Harvard's Galileo Project steering committee, he's applying ecosystem logic to AI-powered astrophysics - and discovering why stacking beats selecting.The insight: Skills stack. Modular, complementary, and interoperable capabilities stack. Liberal arts + AI certifications compound income dramatically. Universities aren't obsolete - their business models are. Survivors become platforms for compounding, not gatekeepers of credentials.Paradigm Shifts:

Operators with 30 years of pattern recognition leave for competitors. Engineers carrying legacy system intelligence depart. Everyone understands the risk. Few solve the execution: Systematically extracting tacit intelligence that experts can't articulate because it operates below the conscious threshold.Dr. Refiloe Mabaso and Wisdom Ndashe architected what many struggle to build - knowledge-capture systems that function independently of voluntary participation. At ATNS, harvesting is mandated by policy and embedded in workflows. Their "Legends and Beneficiaries" program identifies critical expertise five years before departure, mapping tacit intelligence to next-generation operators through structured protocols. The execution breakthrough: embedding capture into SOPs makes retention automatic. Travel with Purpose demonstrates strategic reach - converting unaccounted expenditures into documented intelligence acquisition with measurable ROI.

He breaks down his Leapfrog Theory for getting ahead of the market, and how using interviews and authentic digital content can create entire ecosystems of trust. Ed explains why today's buyers need multiple touchpoints before they act, and why video-based personal branding is now essential for standing out in an AI-saturated world.
