Melody and C.D. Fabien made headlines for waiting to kiss until marriage. Now more than a decade later, they're doing "dating discipleship" work with couples who feel confused about the in between, wanting to date intentionally before getting engaged. In this conversation with the Perrys, the Fabiens discuss what it means to date with godly wisdom, lead with integrity, and pursue purity that lasts beyond the wedding day. Melody and C.D. say that obedience is inconvenient but it's always worth it. They make a case for why living together before marriage is actually spoken against in the Bible, and they offer encouragement around boundaries, conviction, repentance and community. This is just part one of the conversation. Listen in and then come back next week to hear the rest. Scripture reference:Romans 62 Timothy 2:20-21Connect with the Fabiens:https://www.instagram.com/hangingwiththefabiens/https://www.instagram.com/cdfabien/https://www.instagram.com/melodyfabien/Get Dating & Marriage Coaching with the Fabienshttps://cdandmelody.comThis episode of With the Perrys is sponsored by:https://brooklynbedding.com — Get 30% off sitewide when you use code PERRY at checkout.https://gominno.com — Get your first month FREE when you use code PERRY at sign up.

From College Engagement to Radio Stardom: Ronald Reagan's Ascent to the Hollywood B-List. Max Boot discusses how Ronald Reagan's father, Jack, secured a job as an administrator of welfare for the New Deal in late 1933. Meanwhile, Ronald developed into a successful young football star at Eureka College, where his steady girlfriend was Margaret Cleaver, known as Mugs. They were deeply in love and engaged to be married, but after graduation they separated, and Margaret, following a trip to Europe, fell in love with an American diplomat and returned the engagement ring to a crushed Reagan. Margaret's father, the Reverend Cleaver, was highly influential, acting almost as a surrogate father to Dutch Reagan. Dutch Reagan possessed a magnificent, compelling voice for storytelling and, graduating from college in 1932, recognized that while movie studios were absent from the Midwest, radio stations were plentiful. He landed his first radio job in Davenport, Iowa, and quickly succeeded, transferring to a larger station in Des Moines, where he became a very successful sportscaster known throughout the Midwest as Dutch Reagan, the voice of the Chicago Cubs and the White Sox. In Hollywood, Reagan was recognized as a heroic figure with a consistently sunny disposition and initially started in B-pictures at Warner Brothers. Reagan's movie career generated good income, and he demonstrated responsibility by moving his parents out to Hollywood. He met actress Jane Wyman at the Warner Brothers commissary, and they were married in January 1940.

Does your pastor adequately prioritize missions at your church? In this episode of The Missions Podcast, Alex interviews Matthew Ellison and Denny Spitters from 1615 Missions Coaching about their new book, The Sending Shepherd: Leading Churches to Disciple All Nations. Drawing from a Barna study, the conversation centers on the vital role of church leadership in global missions. They argue that effective mobilization starts with senior pastors embracing a “sending shepherd” mindset—reintegrating God's global purpose into preaching, discipleship, and church culture rather than treating missions as an optional program. They encourage pastors to see missions not as one ministry among many, but as the core narrative of Scripture shaping every believer's role in God's redemptive story. The discussion closes with success stories of integrating missions into the church, practical encouragement for pastors, and a reminder that mobilizing for the Great Commission is both essential for the world and for the church's spiritual health. Key Topics Findings from the Barna “U.S. Pastors and Missions Survey” The problem of “when everything is missions, nothing is missions” Leadership's critical role in shaping global vision (Antioch model from Acts 13) The difference between marginalizing missions and integrating it into the church's DNA Importance of defining and distinguishing evangelism, outreach, and missions Do you love The Missions Podcast?

Designing the Core DynamicsToday, we're diving deep into a concept that sits right at the heart of game design: core dynamics. What makes a game engaging? Why do some games pull us in and keep us coming back? It's not just the artwork or the theme. It's not even the mechanics alone. It's something deeper. It's the dynamic that drives player action, interaction, and emotion. Today's episode is all about identifying, designing, and testing core dynamics. Whether you're a designer, educator, or just a curious player, understanding this middle layer of gameplay can change how you look at games forever. If you liked this episode please consider commenting, sharing, and subscribing.Subscribing is absolutely free and ensures that you'll get the next episode of Experience Points delivered directly to you.I'd also love it if you took some time to rate the show!I live to lift others with learning.  So, if you found this episode useful, consider sharing it with someone who could benefit.Also make sure to visit University XP online at www.universityxp.comUniversity XP is also on Twitter @University_XP and on Facebook and LinkedIn as University XPAlso, feel free to email me anytime at dave@universityxp.comGame on!Get the full transcript and references for this episode here: https://www.universityxp.com/podcast/150 Support the show

Joint Sword 2024: China's Anaconda Strategy Against Taiwan and Washington's Persistence in Failed Engagement. Captain James Fanell and Bradley Thayer assert that America must urgently reverse its strategic errors regarding China. Fanell notes that China is currently demonstrating aggression toward Taiwan, announcing two days of "Joint Sword 2024 Alpha" exercises conducted very close to Taiwan, inside the contiguous zone. China is using the recent inauguration speech of Taiwan's new President Lai as the casus belli, claiming his equating Taiwan and China as two separate nations constitutes a move toward independence. Fanell expects the operation to include ballistic missiles fired into closure areas, with China practicing targeting key areas, blockading, and isolating Taiwan. The PRC is employing an "Anaconda strategy," increasing pressure and suffocating Taiwan. Bradley Thayer assesses Washington's response, stating that fundamentally, little has changed despite some rhetorical and policy shifts, as the Biden administration remains influenced by the "engagement school." Thayer attributes the persistence of this flawed framework to the PRC's strategy of "elite capture," spanning Wall Street, the Chamber of Commerce, think tanks, K Street law firms, and Congress.

This episode of New Books in Southeast Asian Studies features Stéphen Huard talking about Calibrated Engagement: Chronicles of Local Politics in the Heartland of Myanmar (‎Berghahn Books, 2024), in which he takes a deep dive into the history and anthropology of village leadership in Myanmar's central dry zone, or anya. In it, Stéphen develops “calibrated engagement” as a category to describe relations among headmen and big men, or lugyi, from his observations in two villages near Monywa. Though the book was researched prior to the military coup of 2021, it offers material with which to make sense of both why and how people in the dry zone formed new armed groups along what Stéphen calls an internal frontier; organising in ways that resist not only dictatorship but also scholarship which reduces politics in upper Myanmar to a lowland-highland dichotomy. The book is available for download free of charge via the publisher's website.  Like this interview? You might also be interested in Ward Keeler talking about his Traffic in Hierarchy, or Magnus Fiskesjö on Stories from an Ancient Land.  This interview summary was not synthesised by a machine.

Send us feedback/questions via TextEver wonder if daily podcasting helps or hurts? We break down how to use November-style challenges to build reps without burning yourself out, and why the best consistency is consistently delivering value. From there, we get real about “reality” podcasts: celebrity banter can skate by on fame, but most shows need a promise listeners can feel—make them laugh, teach them something, or save them time. If your friends love hanging out, great. If strangers stick around, you've got a show.We also dive deep into AI as a workflow multiplier. Show notes, chapters, and summaries can be generated in seconds, but they're drafts you must refine. We share practical prompts, why FAQs boost discoverability, and the non-negotiable habit of checking links AI invents. Then we zoom out into platform hygiene: remove dead Google Podcasts links, test your contact form, and make your subscribe page obvious.

Every subscription box owner hits a wall. Growth slows down. The excitement you once felt starts to fade. You check your numbers and realize things have stalled. Stalling doesn't mean you've failed. It just means it's time for a reset. Most of the time, growth slows because you've either tapped out your current audience or haven't been visible enough lately. The good news? You don't have to overhaul everything. You just need to re-energize a few key areas to spark fresh momentum. In this quick Friday Fuel episode of the Launch Your Box Podcast, I'm walking you through how to restart your momentum by focusing on three key areas that move the needle: growing your email list, showing up intentionally on social media, and running short, smart marketing bursts between launches. Reset #1: Grow Your Email List (Again) Your email list is your highest-converting asset, and when growth stalls, chances are your list has stalled, too. Ask yourself: Am I actively growing my list this week? If not, start here. Try a giveaway, launch a new lead magnet, or add a pop-up to your site. Promote your opt-in more often than feels comfortable. Remember, most people haven't seen it yet! Reset #2: Grow Your Following with Intention People can't buy from you if they don't know you exist. Audit your last six social media posts. Do they speak directly to your ideal subscriber? If not, shift your focus to connection: Share behind-the-scenes peeks of product selection or packing days. Spotlight subscriber stories or testimonials. Create simple reels using B-roll and overlay text. Share content that reflects your box's niche or transformation. Engagement comes first. Conversion follows. Reset #3: Run Short-Burst Marketing Campaigns You don't need to wait for “launch week” to grow. Between launches, run small but mighty campaigns:  3-day waitlist push Flash freebie bonus Subscriber referral challenge Simple paid ad paired with a short funnel sequence. Think of these as mini-launches that keep your energy and your subscriber list growing all year long. Bonus Reset Tips If you're ready to dig deeper, try these quick wins: Audit your list: scrub cold leads and segment by subscribers, leads, and past customers. Update your website: make sure it's clear who your box is for and why they need it. Re-engage dormant leads: send a short, two-part reactivation sequence. Ask your audience: use Instagram polls or a quick quiz to find out what's holding them back from subscribing. Take Action Choose one of these resets and take action today. Whether it's creating a new lead magnet, sharing a behind-the-scenes post, or running a 3-day waitlist push, do something that moves you closer to your next subscriber. Join me for this episode of the Launch Your Box Podcast, where we'll hit the reset button together and get your subscriber growth moving again, one simple action at a time.

Diplomacy and Deterrence: Trump's Asia Success and the Venezuela Crisis Guest: Mary Kissel Mary Kissel reviews President Trump's successful engagement in Asia, including the ACEN conference where trade agreements and critical mineral investments were highlighted. She notes the strengthening US-Japanese partnership with Prime Minister Takayuki Sai, calling Japan the only significant military counterbalance to China in the region. Regarding the US carrier deployment near Venezuela, Kissel supports the use of deterrence but raises concerns about the legality of military strikes on alleged drug boats without a declaration of war. The political aim may be to empower Venezuelans to overthrow the Maduro regime.

On this episode, Travis and producer Eric break down why building a career or business in 2025 means leveraging the power of content and relationships on social media. Drawing inspiration from powerhouse voices like Gary Vee, they explore the real tactics, mindset shifts, and simple habits that separate those who get results from those who just “post and ghost.” On this episode we talk about: Why creating content is no longer optional for business owners and sales pros The biggest mistakes new (and seasoned) agents make on social—and how to fix them Why “posting” alone isn't enough (and why engaging with others matters more) How to start from scratch: practical tips for getting over perfectionism and fear The right approach to building habits, including using accountability tricks and “just doing the thing” Top 3 Takeaways Social media attention is a massive business opportunity, but most people overthink and underact—just post, learn, and iterate in public. Engagement—commenting, DMs, reacting, and showing up in conversations—is what unlocks genuine relationships and leads. Stop screaming at the crowd; start talking to them. Consistency and volume win. Your first attempts might suck, but nobody wins without building the habit of simply creating and sharing. Notable Quotes “The number one thing that will change every person in this room's life financially is making content for social media.” “Doing nothing is not the solution. Doing something is the solution. And doing something in volume is even better.” “Social isn't a bullhorn—it's a cocktail party. If you're not actively engaging, you're just the weird guy yelling at everyone." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

If you're not on social media, you're missing the party and the referrals.Too many agents think social is just for fun or flashy branding—but it's one of the most powerful ways to build trust, grow a business, and create consistent referrals... if you know how to use it.

This week on World Ocean Radio, our host Peter Neill is thinking about the word "solastalgia", described as a deep grief over changing landscapes that were once familiar; feeling ‘homesick' while still being at home, due to rapid alterations to the environment; the stress from experiencing change and loss in the face of rapid, disruptive change. Peter suggests that solastalgia may offer the opposite effects of hopelessness, melancholy, and despair, providing the conditions for commitment, engagement, dedication, optimism, and invention.About World Ocean RadioWorld Ocean Radio is a weekly series of five-minute audio essays available for syndicated use at no cost by college and community radio stations worldwide.

Ahad Afridi, CMO for the Americas at Pladis, owner of Godiva, shares how the legacy chocolate house's “hundred-year reboot” is reshaping the brand for a new generation of snackers, particularly millennials and Gen Zers. Episode TranscriptPlease note, this transcript  may contain minor inconsistencies compared to the episode audio. Damian Fowler (00:00):I'm Damian Fowler.Ilyse Liffreing (00:01):And I'm Ilyse Liffreing,Damian Fowler (00:02):And welcome to this edition of The Big Impression.Ilyse Liffreing (00:09):Today we're joined by Ahad Afridi Chief Marketing Officer for the Americas at Pladis, the company behind the Godiva brand, those premium chocolates we all live.Damian Fowler (00:20):We're diving into Godiva's bold new campaign, featuring Leighton Meester portraying the legendary lady, good diver, a modern spin on an iconic story of courage and individuality.Ilyse Liffreing (00:31):We'll talk about how the brand is trying to stand out ahead of the holiday season and how Pladis is evolving its brands for the next generation of snackers.Ahad Afridi (00:40):Let's get into it. It's a comprehensive launch. It's a launch of a new product within the Godiva range called Masterpiece, but it's also the start of a brand reset. And so part of this has an eye towards the now of launching this new product that's great, but also towards activities that are going to happen over the next one year. Godiva turns 100 next year, and so what we wanted to accomplish was the first big step in this centennial, what we call re-imagining of the Godiva brand.Speaker 2 (01:17):Yeah, that's a legacy brand for sure.Speaker 3 (01:18):And happy birthday as well.Speaker 2 (01:20):Thank youSpeaker 3 (01:20):A hundred years. Thank you. Thank you to Godiva. On behalf of Godiva, I'd say thank you.Speaker 1 (01:26):Yeah. In that hundred, how would you define what Godiva stands for as a legacy brand over that century?Speaker 3 (01:34):Godiva is a premium chocolate brand. It's been called a luxury chocolate brand, but we prefer to call it premium because it makes it more accessible, which we can talk about a little bit more. It's a Belgian heritage brand. Belgian chocolates are different than the normal. Speaker 2 (01:51):That's good, in my opinion,Speaker 3 (01:53):Different than the normal chocolate milk-based chocolate, but it's just great tasting, high quality chocolate that you feel great giving to others as a gift and having for yourself as well.Speaker 1 (02:08):So just to ask you about this specific campaign, what made you wanted to bring that legacy as it were up to date? Is that the right way of putting it into today's culture through this campaign?Speaker 3 (02:18):Yeah, in a way. Let's say it's a hundred year reboot because turning a hundred, you have to celebrate your heritage, but reposition for the future. So it's about getting contemporary, bringing some of those traditional values and equities of the brand, but modernizing them for today and starting this, what we call re-imagining with totally new offerings coming over the next one to two years. We've started with what we call Masterpiece, and Masterpiece is a small chocolate piece that comes in a bag with multiple pieces in there, and it's great for sharing with others or treating yourself. So this is the first step. We've just launched this now it's in the market. In the next few weeks you'll see a totally reimagined what we call gold box and truffle box, which is high-end premium chocolate in specialty stores and on the giva.com website where we've totally revamped chocolate and got new offerings in that. So that's coming over the holiday period, Valentine's Day, there'll be another new collection coming next fall. Towards the end of the next year, we'll have some more gifting chocolates available that will be broadly available. And that's the start. And then after that, in the year 2027, we've got other exciting things coming in. So it's a sequenced campaign. Speaker 2 (03:47):Good timing for the holiday season, I'm sure.Speaker 3 (03:50):Exactly, exactly. Holiday seasons are important for us. Every day is important for us, but the holiday seasons are very important for us. Yes.Speaker 2 (03:58):Can you describe a little bit of the campaign itself and what viewers might see and experience as they witness the campaign?Speaker 3 (04:06):Yeah, I guess the first thing you'll see is a wonderful cinematic traditional sort of advertising, which has got some drama in it. It's got wonderful aesthetic, but at its heart it's a product centered ad and the product is celebrated in there, the taste of that. So that's let's say the hero piece or the centerpiece. But in addition, what you'll see is a lot of social content in different variations. You'll see different versions in digital tv. You'll see a billboard coming later, so some nice still art coming there. Now what's unique about this is we didn't look at it as just a specific campaign and a point of time. We look at this as a one year program where we're relaunching the brand. So you'll see Layton Meer again in the holiday periods, Valentine's period and throughout next year. WhySpeaker 1 (05:03):Leighton Meester? I mean, I know Ilyse is a fan.Speaker 2 (05:06):Oh yeah. I mean Gossip Girl lover obviously.Speaker 3 (05:10):Well, she's a great representation of some of the values of Lady Godiva and Lady Godiv was the, let's say the initial inspiration for the brand. It's obviously called Godiva. So she, lady Godiva played a big role in the identity of the brand. But Leighton Meester is someone that we respect a lot. She's very popular, she's highly likable, she's multifaceted, great actor, musician person who has her own specific identity, and we think that's a great person to partner with in thisSpeaker 2 (05:52):Now premium chocolate, that space is a pretty packed one. How does this campaign really help the brand stand out, especially as we head into those important holiday seasons?Speaker 3 (06:04):Yeah, so premium chocolate is a growing segment within overall chocolate. So certainly chocolate's a very broad area, so many different offerings, and premium is a very important segment within that. And there are different offerings within premium. We like to consider Godiva as the high end of the premium segment. And there's something special. It's like in a category full of square shapes and round shapes,Speaker 4 (06:32):You'veSpeaker 3 (06:33):Got Godiva coming in with something totally different. And if you see the Masterpiece product, you'll see it's a very unique sort of shape there. So we pride ourselves in being kind of the premium of the premium but being accessible. And it's our goal to provide unique offerings that really tastes great and are cut above the rest of premium, but yet at let's say a fingertip away from desire.Speaker 1 (07:04):When you say relaunch, what does that mean? Does it mean like you're trying to reach new audiences, new consumers? How are you thinking about the people you're trying to reach? And I guess that does tie in with getting a celebrity like Leighton Meester.Speaker 3 (07:21):Yeah, it's important for us to connect with a broader range of consumers, younger consumers. So we're trying to get millennials and Gen Zs now, which the brand hadn't really targeted before and over a hundred year period you will have a core cohort which will age over time, and we're making a purposeful effort to try and reach a broader audience. Now contemporize the brand and our activities around doing that,Speaker 2 (07:53):Does that also have to do with perhaps the decision to call it premium chocolate versus luxury chocolate or what is that thinking?Speaker 3 (08:02):Well, the category is divine is premium chocolate, but people say good dive is a luxury brand and sometimes people talk about chocolate as being luxury. I don't think chocolate should be luxury. Chocolate should be accessible as well. And so it's really around that. It's not a conscious big effort saying, Hey, call us premium. Don't call us luxury.Speaker 3 (08:23):You can call us what you want, but it's just great tasting chocolate that is accessible. And our key point is luxury is often reserved for special occasions or milestones and that's certainly fine, but could dive a chocolate is also accessible every day. A little bit of happiness and a little smile is an everyday treat that we all have a right to.Speaker 1 (08:50):My wife reminds me of that every day. She says, should we have a chocolate? Now she's a millennium. She'll be very happy if I give her a Godiva chocolate. Well, we have them here for you to try. Okay, well we will just pause the podcast.Speaker 1 (09:07):We right back anyway. So just to talk about PLAs. So good diver is one of the brands within Pladis and which has a big portfolio of snacking. I just want to talk a bit more about the consumer you're trying to reach. What kind of insights have really shaped how you think about this new strategy?Speaker 3 (09:30):Chocolate plays a meaningful role in people's everyday lives. It's not something that's only reserved for special occasions once or twice a year. And so what we see is that people need, if you look at what we call a demand space map of consumers needs and occasions during the day, there are many opportunities in there for us to provide little bits of happiness, little bits of indulgence, a treat for yourself that is accessible and that's important for us. That's an important insight. The second is that chocolate is more than a product, but it may provide an emotional benefit. It might make you feel good, it might help you connect with others. It might be a reboot for the rest of the day, three o'clock, little piece of chocolate it with a coffee or a cup of tea or something like that is fantastic. So we've mapped consumer occasions to see that that's important. So those are really two very important insights for us.Speaker 2 (10:38):Curious, now that the campaign is out, I know it's early days, but are there any KPIs that you're really keeping your eye on or your hopes around brand impact that you're going to get from this campaign?Speaker 3 (10:54):Yes. Well, we have a broad range of metrics that we look at. You can bucket them around awareness and visibility as one. Engagement. How consumers get involved is to sentiment, what are people saying and how do they feel about it. And then importantly, fourth but not least, is the commercial impact. What kind of sales impact do we have? How's it driving the business? And we're one week into the campaign,(11:20):So we don't have any of those metrics now, but we will be tracking them. But what we're very encouraged by is just the initial, let's say feedback, what people are saying, how much people are talking about it and what they're saying about it. And it's very, very positive what we're hearing about this. And even in this first week, we're seeing remarkable engagement. People are even reediting bits of the ad and combining it with Layton Meer in other roles. It's a very scene in one of her previous shows, which she's very famous for where she says, lady Godiva is my only friend. So we're getting recut edits of that with snippets of the new ad. So consumers are sending those back to us.Speaker 2 (12:09):Now. You've talked before about how storytelling is very key to building great brands. Has this campaign changed how you think about what really connects with today's consumers?Speaker 3 (12:22):I think this campaign will confirm what we think is important in storytelling. And for us, storytelling has got to be something that captures people's attention, draws some interest, so they stick with it and is something that they'll remember later on. And we are trying to find new ways to deliver that and create that impact. But within that, we have to embed elements of the brand and the product experience that's so important in that. And this first centerpiece ad is a wonderful example of that because it's a captivating ad, but at the heart it is a product brand centered ad. So I think that's very important is to combine those things.Speaker 1 (13:14):When we look at the sort of bigger shift, and you've sort of addressed this a little bit, but I'm just curious, we are in a moment of time where people are a little bit anxious in some cases about the economy and where things are going. How do you market into that where you're talking about the importance of premium at a time, that might be something where people would think, oh, should I, shouldn't I? How do you think about that?Speaker 3 (13:42):Well, the good thing about chocolate is it is something that's important every day or can be important every day. It should be accessible every day. And whether the economy goes up or it goes down, it's something that's there. And available chocolates, you were talking earlier about luxury. God, IVA is not a Hermes bag. You don't have to wait two months, or sorry, two years to get that. It's something there that you can have. And if it provides that little bit of lift, that smile on your face, that moment of connection, that's something that is important for people regardless of economic conditions. And if they're having some moments in life or particular experiences in life where they need a little pick me up even more than it plays an even bigger role. So it's our job to provide the right offerings, make them accessible and be available for them.Speaker 1 (14:45):Does it signal anything about how you might approach other Plaice brands? I know they're very different, but justSpeaker 3 (14:52):Yeah, we have multiple other brands around the world and some are chocolate, some are biscuits, some are cakes. And each brand has to find a way to tap into consumer desire. And our Pladis mission we say, is happiness in every bite. And that's what we're trying to deliver. And each brand has to try and deliver that in its own unique way.Speaker 2 (15:22):Now with a heritage brand such as Godiva, how are you still keeping it modern while staying true to its heritage? Because the snack worlds today is changing so fast, we have new wellness trends all the time, digital shopping, et cetera, et cetera.Speaker 3 (15:39):Well, it's such an important question because the challenge for every brand is to be relevant today. And what got you there in the heritage is helpful, but it doesn't necessarily deliver against what makes you relevant for today. It just makes people notice or gives you a little bit of credibility or trust. So a big part of this brand, re-imagining it a hundred years is about that. It's about contemporizing the brand, making sure that we stand out in today's world, that we're conveying those benefits that meet the needs of today's consumers, that we are using the right codes to communicate Kate and making it easy for consumers to notice us, to think about us, to remember us to desire us.Speaker 2 (16:33):How do you think about the way modern brands are going about marketing? Are there any interesting tidbits or trends that you're noticing?Speaker 3 (16:43):Lots of littles. There's a study by work that talks about the aggregate, let's say the cumulative effect of little bits of exposure on your brand actually deliver more than singular big pieces of visibility. And if a brand can try and do that show up in different places, just little bites, little bite size bits ofSpeaker 4 (17:10):ContentSpeaker 3 (17:11):That comes across a lot, that is a great way for connecting and getting consumers to remember you.Speaker 1 (17:18):We've got these kind of quick fire questions here at the end. And what's one thing that you're obsessed with figuring out in confectionary marketing right now?Speaker 3 (17:30):I'm obsessed with figuring out how to connect with consumers in a meaningful way. And that is evolving. It's very difficult. Consumers are bombarded with so many stimuli that the ability to connect with them in a relevant way is so important.Speaker 2 (17:49):Outside of snacks, do you have a brand that you really admire for nailing culture and doing just that?Speaker 3 (17:58):Yes, I love what Heinz is doing. They're fantastic. They're a great example of leaning into your heritage, creating distinction versus other brands in a category that seemingly doesn't have a lot of variety. They are very strong at having distinctive brand assets that they tap into all the time. Make it easy for consumers to think about them, remember them, and they're great at tapping into culture. They've got great little mini campaigns under their overall brand platform. It has to be hez that keep the brand very vibrant. I love what they're doing.Speaker 1 (18:42):What's the best piece of marketing advice you've ever received and do you still follow it?Speaker 3 (18:47):Message delivered does not mean message received. And I think that that applies not just to marketing, it applies to change management leadership. And it's something that I think about a lot, especially now. So if you think about it from a marketing perspective, a brand manager's perspective, it's easy to fall in the trap that if you create something and you put it out there that consumers are going to notice it, love it, and buy your brand. And what we try and tell them is, this is not Iowa Field of dreams. It's not a build it and they will come. You have to really work hard at creating relevance and getting noticed and the odds are stacked against you. So making sure your message or your intent is received, not just delivered is very important.Speaker 2 (19:42):Very nice. One more for fun. If money were no object, what's a dream marketing move you'd make?Speaker 3 (19:52):So I can give you the traditional answer on top of those lots of littles. It'd be great to have some big mega programs. I would love to have, we're talking about Godiva today. I'd love to have Godiva in the Super Bowl. I'd love to have Lady Godiva show up and present the trophy, the NFL trophy or the US Open Tennis trophy or I'd love that stuff, but I'll go past that. It would be great to have Lady Godiva as a Marvel superhero movie and have her deliver chocolate to save the world. Something's going on and she just comes and gives a little piece of chocolate and everything's okay. And that's itSpeaker 1 (20:36):For this edition of The Big Impression.Speaker 2 (20:38):This show is produced by Molten Hart.

Mit 15 Jahren wird Greta Thunberg zur Ikone. Ihre Schulstreiks lösen die Fridays-for-Future-Bewegung aus – und bringen das Thema Klimaschutz weltweit auf die Agenda. *** Direkt zur Serie unter: wwww.sz.de/greta ****   Sieben Jahre später ist das Mädchen von damals eine Frau – und macht mit ihrem Engagement für Gaza Schlagzeilen. Vor allem in Deutschland wird Greta Thunberg Antisemitismus vorgeworfen. Die SZ-Journalistin Vera Schroeder möchte verstehen, wie aus der Heldin eine Figur wurde, die immer stärker polarisiert. In einer Zeit, in der die Klimaziele in weite Ferne rücken, macht sie sich auf eine sehr persönliche Spurensuche. Und erzählt die Geschichte von Thunbergs einzigartigem Aufstieg noch mal neu.

In this episode, I'm joined once again by Cristina Ralph to explore how building engagement and a positive relationship with your dog sets the stage for effective training so they want to work with us. We break down how marker systems create a clear communication language, and we discuss the difference between drive and arousal—plus real-world examples of how these concepts show up in hunting dogs. If you want a dog that wants to work with you, not just goes through the motions, this episode is a must-listen. You can find Cristina on Instagram at @gretablaiseandwednesdayaddams or @huntinginharmony. You can reach her by email at huntinginharmony@gmail.com. Her kennel is vom Zamora Deutsch Kurzhaars.   -- The Accidental Bird Dog Podcast is sponsored by onX Hunt. We are part of the HerUpland Podcast Network.

If you've ever hesitated to follow up with a lead because you didn't want to sound “pushy,” this episode is for you. Most small business owners lose sales not because they lack leads — but because they stop short of following up. In this short, power-packed episode, Lindsay Fletcher breaks down: ✅ Why so many business owners avoid following up (and how fear of feeling annoying costs you money) ✅ Why phrases like “just following up,” “circling back,” and “checking in” instantly shut down conversations ✅ What to say instead to sound confident, helpful, and professional ✅ Simple follow-up messages that feel natural and build trust ✅ A quick challenge to help you turn consistency into cash flow Whether you're a Christian entrepreneur, service provider, or small business owner — this episode will help you reframe follow-up as service, not sales pressure.   Live in North Houston?
