We're talking about  how to shorten your time at the tailgate or the trunk. Just get your waders on, your boots laced, and get to the river. It  should be as simple as that, but it's not uncommon for anglers to waste a half hour or more just getting ready to go fishing.Most anglers hate this wasted time. In fact, all of this preparation just to go fishing puts a lot of anglers off in the first place. And the colder it is, or the longer you plan to be out there fishing, or the more tactics you plan to use the more all of this pre-trip prep is required.We want a system for minimizing the time between cutting the car engine to walking away from the vehicle with our fly rod in hand.Basically, we all just want to go fishing. And the other stuff holds us back.The full Troutbitten crew is here with me tonight.

Andy Crestodina is the Co-founder and Chief Marketing Officer at Orbit Media Studios, an award-winning digital agency. With 23 years of experience in analytics, SEO, content strategy, and website optimization, he is regarded as a leading expert in the marketing industry. Andy has written over 500 articles on content strategy, SEO, AI, social media, and analytics and is the author of Content Chemistry.  In this episode…  Marketers and e-commerce business owners leverage AI mainly for content creation purposes — something customers can accomplish easily themselves. How can you differentiate your brand with innovative, AI-driven content? Rather than developing a prompt to write articles or PDPs, marketer and AI prompt engineer Andy Crestodina recommends having AI analyze a webpage, PDP, or other body of work to identify missing components. This may involve creating prompts detailing whether a PDP meets industry best practices, identifying how to enhance a web page to drive conversions, or determining whether the content meets audience expectations. To take it a step further, you can train the AI to generate ideal customer personas that can influence CTAs, landing pages, and other consumer-facing content. Tune in to this episode of the Up Arrow Podcast as William Harris chats with Andy Crestodina, the Co-founder and Chief Marketing Officer at Orbit Media Studios, about revolutionizing AI for CRO. Andy talks about increasing search rankings with AI-driven analytics platforms, how AI will alter internet searches, and AI's potential beyond e-commerce content creation.

Where does creativity fit into compliance? In more places than you think. Problem-solving, accountability, communication, and connection – they all take creativity. Join Tom Fox and Ronnie Feldman on Creativity and Compliance, part of the award-winning Compliance Podcast Network. Ronnie's company, Learnings and Entertainment, utilizes the entertainment devices people use to consume information in their everyday, non-work lives and applies it to important topics around compliance and ethics. It is not only about being funny. It is about changing the tone of your compliance communications and messaging to make your compliance program, policies, and resources more accessible. In this episode of Creativity and Compliance, host Tom Fox and Ronnie Feldman discuss the often-overlooked basics of creating an effective compliance program. We emphasize the importance of being proactive and preventative, as reinforced by recent DOJ guidance. The focus shifts from complex compliance issues to more practical and efficient solutions that can be integrated into daily operations. One key point is reevaluating the traditional annual training approach, which often fails to efficiently engage employees and mitigate risks. Instead, the conversation centers around constant and regular communication, such as nudge learning and embedding compliance messages within the organization's culture, to keep compliance in mind and foster a more compliant workplace environment.
