The conversation moves from how leaders diagnose which problems genuinely call for AI, to what builds a customer's confidence to engage rather than hesitate, to what effective governance and accountability actually look like once AI moves from framework to lived, high-stakes experience.A central theme is that this wave of transformation is different from those that came before it - not because it changes how work gets done, but because it changes who, or what, is doing the thinking. Nyeleti and Alice discuss what that shift means for how people behave inside organisations, and for loyalty and CX professionals in particular, who are often influencing AI transformation rather than leading it.This episode offers a grounded, leadership-first perspective for anyone building customer loyalty in an environment where trust, not technology, is the real currency of transformation.Show notes:1) Alice Sesay Pope2) The Trust Algorithm3) Good to Great - Jim Collins (Book Recommendation)
Diego Salgues spent 30 years in the French Air Force and flew variants of the Mirage 2000 for an extraordinary 26 years. In Part 1, he retraces the demanding route from gliders, the Epsilon and Tucano to the Alpha Jet and finally the Mirage 2000, sharing candid stories about fighter-pilot training, squadron culture and the human cost of military aviation. He then takes us deep inside the Mirage's fly-by-wire controls and explains how its delta wing, low-speed handling and vertical performance shaped BFM against aircraft including the MiG-29 and F-16.

In this special edition of Retail Media Therapy, Viv and Colin unpack the biggest retail media deal of the year: Publicis Groupe's $2.2 billion acquisition of LiveRamp.Why would one of the world's largest agency groups buy one of the industry's most important data collaboration platforms? We explore what the deal means for retailers, brands, agencies and retail media networks, and whether this is really an AI play... or something much more fundamental.The conversation dives into LiveRamp's role as a neutral identity and clean-room provider, the strategic fit with Publicis assets such as Epsilon, Sapient and Marcel, and why identity resolution, data collaboration and measurement have become the industry's most valuable battlegrounds. Viv and Colin debate whether access to customer IDs is becoming more important than access to media inventory, and examine the growing importance of customer graphs in an AI-driven marketing landscape.They also discuss the challenges facing retail media networks and the potential risks to LiveRamp's neutrality now that it sits inside a major holding company. A must-listen for anyone trying to understand the future of retail media, identity and data-driven marketing.Grace & Co | Retail Media Experts Hosted on Acast.

Publicis dropped a bomb on Sunday. By Monday, LinkedIn was on fire. Christian, co-host of the In/organic Podcast pulled together two of the sharpest voices in commerce and media to break down what this deal actually means — beyond the press release.Joining In/Organic for this special episode: Ari Paparo, 20-year ad tech veteran, host of the Marketecture podcast, and author of Yield: How Google Bought, Built and Bullied Its Way to Advertising Dominance — and Peter (PVSB) Bond, co-host of the CPG Guys podcast (closing in on episode 600) and Head of Industry and Client Engagement at Flywheel, the commerce acceleration division of Omnicom.This is the one episode this week you can't skip.What we cover: Is this really an agentic AI story or is that just the packaging? Why LiveRamp's client count is already down from 940 to 800 — and what happens next. Why Omnicom, WPP, and every other holdco is immediately accelerating their own identity builds. The three distinct assets inside LiveRamp and which one actually matters. Why Amazon Marketing Cloud is the elephant in the clean room conversation.

C dans l'air du 25 avril 2026 - Ovnis, extraterrestres: pourquoi Trump déclassifieLa légende des ovnis relancée ? Invité il y a quelques semaines dans un podcast, l'ex-président américain Barack Obama a évoqué la possibilité d'une vie extraterrestre, avant de préciser qu'il n'avait jamais eu accès à la moindre preuve concrète durant son mandat. Une déclaration qui a ravivé un débat aussi ancien que fascinant. Dès 1947, l'incident de Roswell avait déjà alimenté les théories les plus insolites. Aujourd'hui, ces spéculations intriguent jusqu'à la tête du gouvernement américain actuel. Le vice-président américain JD Vance a promis d'étudier en détail les informations dont disposent les autorités sur les ovnis, qu'il décrit comme des « démons ». « Il me reste encore trois ans comme vice-président. J'irai au fond des dossiers », a-t-il ajouté. Aux États-Unis, des disparitions et des décès en série dans le monde scientifique ont également alimenté les spéculations jusqu'à déclencher une enquête du FBI en collaboration avec les ministères de l'Energie et de la Guerre. Si aucun lien n'a été établi entre ces affaires, dont certaines remontent à plusieurs années, l'inquiétude grandit sur une possible atteinte à la sécurité nationale. En France, le sujet est pris au sérieux. Le Geipan, un groupe d'investigation sur les phénomènes aérospatiaux non identifiés, recueille, depuis plus de 40 ans, des témoignages. Adossée au Cnes, l'agence spatiale française, cette petite structure civile basée à Toulouse a été créé en 1977 à l'initiative de Claude Poher, un scientifique français. Sa mission : l'étude des phénomènes spatiaux non identifiés. Au total, plus de 9.000 témoignages rapportant de tels phénomènes à travers la France ont été recueillis depuis la création du bureau. Ces dernières semaines, l'actualité spatiale a été particulièrement dense. La mission Artémis II de la Nasa, effectuée début avril, a vu quatre astronautes faire le tour de la Lune pour la première fois en plus d'un demi-siècle. De son côté, SpaceX multiplie les projets ambitieux en vue de missions habitées vers Mars. Dans le même temps, la Chine accélère ses propres initiatives pour atteindre la Lune. Dans ce contexte de conquête et de compétition stratégique, l'espace redevient un enjeu central. Pourquoi les ovnis fascinent-ils toujours autant l'opinion publique ? Sont-ils devenus un enjeu de sécurité nationale aux États-Unis ? Le programme Artemis marque-t-il une nouvelle ère dans la conquête spatiale ?Nos experts :- Romuald SCIORA - Directeur de l'observatoire politique et géostratégique des Etats-Unis à l'IRIS et auteur de “America 250” - André KASPI - Historien, spécialiste des Etats-Unis - Mathilde FONTEZ - Journaliste scientifique-rédactrice en chef “ Epsilon” - Sylvain MAISONNEUVE - Auteur de “Ovnis, l'enquête déclassifiée”

A CMO Confidential Interview with Dave Penski, CEO of Connected Media, formerly CEO of Publicis Media, COO of Publicis Groupe, and CEO of ZenithOptimedia. Dave shares perspective on how clients are managing through a challenging marketplace, how there's increasing "disruption" between consumers and advertisers, and why the future of media is based on "connected identity." Key topics include: why Publicis continues to invest in tech; why 2027 will bring increased challenges for marketers; how different business verticals are impacted by "the economic K curve;" and why sports is "as AI proof as it gets." Tune in to hear why you should know your customer as precisely as possible across all media types and thoughts on the potential impacts of gambling and NIL (Name, Image and Likeness) on the golden goose of sports. Dave Penski, CEO of Publicis Media (twice over) and former COO of Publicis Groupe, returns to CMO Confidential for a wide-ranging conversation with host Mike Linton on the forces reshaping marketing, media, and the agency business in 2026. Dave offers a rare economist's-eye view across verticals — from tariffs and consumer confidence to the K-economy, AI's real (and overhyped) impact on agencies, the in-housing cycle that never quite materialized as predicted, and why 2027 may be the toughest advertising year in recent memory.Topics covered: connected identity, Publicis' $12B investment thesis, creative and engineering transformation via AI, streaming consolidation, the fragmentation of sports viewing, gambling regulation, and the one piece of career advice Dave still gives every mentee.*This episode is brought to you by Scrunch .

A celestial grandfather strolls low across the south on winter evenings. He’s represented by two stars. In the western world, they’re part of the constellation Columba, the dove. But in ancient China they were known as the Grandfather. The stars are Alpha and Epsilon Columbae. Coincidentally, they’re about the same distance from Earth – about 280 light-years. And both are much bigger and brighter than the Sun. But there’s a big difference in their ages, so the stars aren’t related. Alpha – the First Star of Grandfather – is the brighter of the two – the brightest member of Columba. It’s less than a hundred million years old – about two percent the age of the Sun. But it won’t be around much longer. It’s about four and a half times the mass of the Sun. Heavier stars age more quickly. In the next 150 million years or so, Alpha will move out of the “prime” phase of life and into the next phase, as a giant. Epsilon has already reached that phase. It’s not as massive as Alpha, but it’s about one and a half billion years older – a third the age of the Sun. It’s puffed up to many times the size of the Sun, so it shines much brighter. Before long, though, it will cast off its outer layers, leaving only its hot, dead core – and Grandfather will be down to a single star. Columba is low in the south-southeast at nightfall. Alpha and Epsilon are close together, near the center of the constellation. Script by Damond Benningfield
C dans l'air l'invité du 13 février 2026 avec Alain Cirou, directeur de la Rédaction du magazine Ciel & Espace.Ce vendredi à 11h16 précisément, l'astronaute Sophie Adenot s'est envolée pour la Station spatiale internationale à bord de la capsule Crew Dragon de Space X, lancée par une fusée Falcon9. À 47 ans, elle est la deuxième française à aller dans l'espace après Claudie Haigneré, en 2001. Le rêve d'une vie, concrétisée par la mission Epsilon. Objectif : mener plusieurs types d'experiences dans divers domaines tels la médecine, la biologie, la physique des matériaux ou encore afin de préparer des futures explorations habitées vers la Lune ou Mars. S'y ajouteront environ 2h de sport quotidien, les repas, le ménage et d'autres travaux d'entretien...Sophie Adenot s'est élancée à destination de l'ISS avec deux Américains et un Russe. Cela démontre que la Station spatiale internationale reste un lieu unique de collaboration pacifique. La fin de l'exploitation de ce laboratoire hors-norme est toutefois prévue pour 2030.Alain Cirou reviendra sur le décollage pour la Station spatiale internationale de la française Sophie Adenot à bord d'une capsule Crew Dragon de SpaceX.
L'émission 28 minutes du 11/02/2026 À travers l'histoire de sa grand-mère, elle raconte les soubresauts du continent européen Une photo jaunie par le temps est le point de départ d'une enquête littéraire et familiale, écrite par Lea Ypi. Sur ce cliché en noir et blanc, l'auteure albanaise y découvre un jeune couple dans une station de ski italienne en 1941… ses grands-parents, Leman et Asllan Ypi. À partir de cette photo, elle décide alors d'enquêter sur la vie de sa grand-mère, qui a traversé le fascisme et le stalinisme en Albanie. Elle publie "Indignité" aux éditions Calmann-Levy. Sophie Adenot prête à décoller : nos astronautes sont-ils bien placés dans la course aux étoiles ? Vendredi 13 février, Sophie Adenot deviendra la deuxième astronaute française de l'histoire à s'envoler pour l'immensité de l'espace. À bord du lanceur Falcon 9 de SpaceX, la future astronaute sera accompagnée de deux Américains et d'un Russe. Destination l'ISS, la Station internationale spatiale, pour une mission de huit à neuf mois. Intitulée "Crew-12" et "Epsilon", elle a pour objectif la réalisation de 200 expériences dont, notamment, des recherches sur la santé. Sophie Adenot profitera de la forte médiatisation de son prédécesseur Thomas Pesquet, dont la communication avait contribué à remettre la France sur le devant de la scène spatiale internationale. Pourtant, ni la France ni l'Europe ne semblent prioriser l'exploration spatiale. Malgré l'augmentation du budget de l'Agence spatiale européenne, certains experts alertent sur un risque d'exclusion future des grandes missions lunaires et martiennes, d'autant plus avec la fin annoncée de l'ISS. Alors que la France et l'Europe font face à une surproduction de patates, Xavier Mauduit nous raconte l'histoire du père Jean-Baptiste Labat et de la patate douce. Marie Bonnisseau nous présente "Relooted", un jeu vidéo africain où l'objectif est de "repiller" les œuvres volées durant la colonisation. 28 minutes est le magazine d'actualité d'ARTE, présenté par Élisabeth Quin du lundi au jeudi à 20h05. Renaud Dély est aux commandes de l'émission le vendredi et le samedi. Ce podcast est coproduit par KM et ARTE Radio.

El contraataque griego de finales de 1940 y comienzos de 1941 no solo detuvo la invasión italiana lanzada desde Albania, sino que invirtió por completo el curso de la campaña. En este episodio analizamos cómo el Ejército griego, superando graves limitaciones materiales, pasó a la ofensiva y penetró en territorio albanés, infligiendo una humillante derrota a las fuerzas de Mussolini. Más allá del campo de batalla, el éxito griego tuvo un profundo impacto en el alto mando italiano: destituciones, crisis de liderazgo y una pérdida de credibilidad militar que obligó a Roma a pedir ayuda a Berlín. Un episodio clave para entender el colapso de las ambiciones italianas en los Balcanes. Te lo cuentan Antonio Gómez y Dani CarAn. "Figli della Lupa Romana", "Hijos de la Hélade - Παιδιά της Ελλάδας" y la "Suite Griega CBP" son temas musicales compuestos por Dani CarAn.

Epsilon Eridani is the third-closest star system that’s visible to the unaided eye – just 10 and a half light-years away. It was among the first stars found to be encircled by a disk of dust. And it was one of two stars targeted in the first search for radio signals from other civilizations. The star itself is a little smaller and lighter than the Sun, and only a third as bright. It’s also billions of years younger than the Sun. Younger stars generate stronger magnetic fields. So Epsilon Eridani produces bigger magnetic storms than the Sun does, plus a much stronger “wind.” In 1983, a satellite discovered that the star is surrounded by a wide disk of dust. Later observations found several asteroid belts – bands filled with big chunks of rock and ice. Over the decades, astronomers have reported several possible planets. But only one of them has stuck. The planet is similar to Jupiter, the giant of our own solar system. In 1960, the star was considered a good candidate to host another civilization. So when Frank Drake launched Project Ozma to listen for radio signals, Epsilon Eridani was one of his two targets. He didn’t hear a peep – and neither has any search since then. Epsilon Eridani is well up in the south at nightfall, far to the right of the top right corner of Orion. The star isn’t all that bright, so you’ll need a starchart to pick it out. More about Eridanus tomorrow. Script by Damond Benningfield

En octubre de 1940, la Italia fascista lanzó una ofensiva contra Grecia convencida de una victoria rápida que reforzaría su prestigio en el Mediterráneo. La preparación fue apresurada, basada en una subestimación del enemigo, una logística deficiente y la falsa creencia de que el terreno montañoso y el clima jugarían a favor del atacante. Las fuerzas italianas cruzaron desde Albania, pero pronto se vieron frenadas por la resistencia griega, mejor organizada y conocedora del terreno. En pocos días, la ofensiva perdió impulso, las líneas se estancaron y la campaña se transformó en un costoso desgaste que desmentía las ambiciones de Roma. Tercer episodio de la miniserie La Campaña Balcánica Italiana, donde te contaremos las operaciones militares de un ejército que se demostró poco hábil contra ejércitos teóricamente inferiores. Te lo cuentan Antonio Gómez y Dani CarAn. "Figli della Lupa Romana", "Hijos de la Hélade - Παιδιά της Ελλάδας" y la "Suite Griega CBP" son temas musicales compuestos por Dani CarAn.

Teresa "T" Troester-Falk has over 20 years of experience building privacy programs that work when resources are limited and timelines are real. She led initiatives at DoubleClick (Google), Epsilon, Nielsen, and Nymity (TrustArc) before founding BlueSky Privacy and BlueSky PrivacyStack. Today she creates practical tools and systems that help privacy professionals step into their role with confidence and give executives decisions they can act on. Through her writing and teaching, she brings clarity to complex requirements and shows how privacy can succeed in practice. In this episode… Privacy professionals step into their roles with foundational knowledge, yet often without the support needed to apply it in practice. They are sometimes expected to build and maintain privacy programs without a budget, authority, or a clear plan. This gap creates daily uncertainty, especially for newly certified privacy professionals who enter the field with little operational experience. So how can privacy professionals move through these challenges and build programs they can defend with confidence? Building a functioning privacy program requires making decisions in gray areas and moving forward without waiting for perfect information. Privacy pros can start by focusing on high-risk areas first and documenting their decision-making process using a three-pillar approach. This framework helps professionals explain the decision they made, maintain what was decided, and defend it with evidence. Clear ownership and accountability ensure processes hold over time. With the right operational structure in place, privacy pros can move privacy programs forward even when resources are tight. In this episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels talk with Teresa Troester-Falk, Founder of BlueSky Privacy and BlueSky PrivacyStack, about building effective privacy programs with limited resources. Teresa explains how a simple decision-making framework can help new and seasoned privacy professionals work through ambiguity. She also shares strategies for prioritizing privacy work when budgets are tight and expectations are high, and explains why establishing ownership and operational processes are essential for sustaining long-term privacy success.
American Systems opened for business in 1975 and transitioned to an employee stock ownership plan 15 years later, a model that makes it one of the market's largest 100% ESOP companies.CEO John Steckel joins for this episode to help mark American Systems' 50th anniversary and explains some moves it has made this year to set the company up for the next 50, including its largest-ever acquisition.In talking with our Ross Wilkers, Steckel lays out what the purchase of Epsilon brings to American Systems and larger trends in managed services that led to the transaction. Secured data centers are part of that equation too and increasingly reflect larger conversations in society, as Steckel explains.Of course, American Systems' status as an ESOP features in the conversation too. American Systems (No. 87) is one of three ESOP companies on the 2025 WT Top 100 ranking alongside Torch Technologies (No. 66) and DCS Corp. (No. 77).

The 365 Days of Astronomy, the daily podcast of the International Year of Astronomy 2009
Hosted by Tony Darnell. From August 17, 2024. An international team of astronomers has directly imaged this exoplanet, one of the coldest ever seen. The team observed Epsilon Indi Ab using the coronagraph on Webb's Mid-Infrared Instrument. Only a few tens of exoplanets have ever been directly imaged by space- and ground-based observatories. These observations are ushering in a completely new era in exoplanet research. We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.

An urgent episode investigating how the mechanics of counting people and drawing districts can reshape the nation. We unpack a Harvard analysis showing the Census Bureau's Disclosure Avoidance System (DAS) and the use of differential-privacy “epsilon” methods introduced in 2020 produced biased block counts that have practical consequences for redistricting and federal funding. Then we tie that to a high-stakes Supreme Court fight over race-based redistricting now before the justices — a ruling that legal experts say could shift as many as ~19 House seats and materially change control of Congress. The hosts explain what all this means for representation, budgets, and everyday American voters — and why a technical formula ended up being a political weapons system.

In this episode of Money Tales, our guest is Serene Lewis Lyles. What if retiring early isn't just about having enough money, but about designing a life where time becomes your most valuable asset? Serene, a former Meta executive, shares how she planned her exit from a billion-dollar ad business to retire at age 52 and move to Portugal. Serene Lewis Lyles is a designer. Over her nearly 30-year career, she designed digital products and marketing experiences for some of the world's leading brands and organizations. Today, as founder of Ready to Retire Coaching, she helps people design their ideal retirement, with a focus on purpose, finances, and community. After graduating from Northwestern University with a BS in Journalism, Serene started her career doing public relations for some of the world's leading brands, including Nike, Procter & Gamble, and eBay. During this time, she helped launch Luna Bars, NikeTown SF and TiVo digital recording, which is the foundation for streaming programming. Serene's career has spanned products and services around the world. While living in England, she led communications for standardized education products for the University of Cambridge. After returning to the Bay Area, she drove 60% of client engagement as marketing lead for a biotech company. And, after taking a senior director role at Epsilon (now a part of Publicis Groupe), Serene grew their small content strategy service into a core offering that generated millions of dollars annually. In 2019, Serene joined Facebook (now Meta). As a senior director, she led the 100-person content design team behind Facebook and Instagram's $1billion ads business. At Meta, she was also a leader of the employee resource group Black@ Design and founder of the Black@ Content Design Leads group. After retiring from Meta, Serene founded Ready to Retire coaching. When not coaching, Serene can be found on a vineyard in Portugal, where she moved in 2024 with her husband and their Rhodesian Ridgeback. Serene's retirement plans include learning Portuguese, long lunches with friends and making leather goods for pets and people.

In this episode of The Refresh, Kait walks us through an overlooked but impactful week in advertising. From explosive revelations about brand ads on explicit platforms, to Meta's push for fully automated AI-driven ad creation, and a new FTC investigation into media watchdogs, this week's headlines raise deeper questions about trust, transparency, and control in digital advertising. We cover: or brands like Verizon and Amazon running ads on a teen-rated app rife with explicit and offensive content. Ads were served via Meta, Amazon, and Epsilon, with Google removing the app only after the story broke. The incident highlights systemic failures in classification and oversight across major platforms—platforms that benefit from scale but lack incentive to fully enforce brand safety. Meta announced plans to fully automate ad creative and targeting by 2026 using AI. While potentially helpful for small businesses, the move raises concerns about creative quality, transparency, and the potential erosion of brand control. The FTC launched an investigation into advertiser boycotts, probing whether organizations like Media Matters and Adfontes are influencing anti-competitive behaviors through media quality frameworks. The broader theme this week is that the tools and platforms meant to empower advertisers may be evolving faster than the industry can ensure they're being used ethically—or effectively.
