    The Roads Black Swan Events in 2026

    Renegade Thinkers Unite: #2 Podcast for CMOs & B2B Marketers

    Events sit at the crossroads of joy and heartburn for B2B marketers. The magic of getting customers together in real life is real, and so is the pain when sales skips the pre-work and ROI gets fuzzy. With every dollar under scrutiny, CMOs are treating events as strategic bets that have to earn their spot on the plan. In this episode, Drew talks with Charles Groome (Insightful), Jamie Gier, and Lorie Coulombe (Equity Shift) about how they decide which events to do, design experiences people remember, and turn field time into pipeline. They cover event portfolios, sales pre-work, and the simple tools that keep everyone aligned before, during, and after the show. In this episode:  Charles sorts events into three buckets, leans into a listening circuit with smaller meetups, and looks at target-account impact to decide where bigger bets belong.  Jamie frames events around getting discovered, creating memorable experiences, and driving deals, with customers on stage and pods focused on key accounts.  Lorie sets clear goals for each event, does deep homework on audiences and geographies, and locks in sales pre-work and follow-up expectations. Plus:  Build an event portfolio that blends big shows, listening trips, CABs, and customer moments.  Use themes, news hooks, and customer voices to stand out in crowded halls and drive recall.  Align sales and marketing via pods, shared KPIs, and simple scoreboards.  Tighten spend with regional focus, partner co-hosting, and clear criteria. If events are on your 2026 budget and you want them to pay in pipeline, this episode will help you pick, plan, and prove them with more confidence.  For full show notes and transcripts, visit https://renegademarketing.com/podcasts/ To learn more about CMO Huddles, visit https://cmohuddles.com/

You can also see it on YouTube.Devin: What is your superpower?Patricia: Real connection with real people.Sustainability, community impact, and empowerment are at the heart of Patricia Gillmore's mission with GGirls Closet LLC. As the CEO and founder, Patricia has built more than just a thrift store—she's created a hybrid model that combines resale fashion with meaningful community partnerships. Through innovative collaborations with Title I schools and nonprofits, Patricia is proving that thrifting can be a powerful force for good.“Our first point of opening was to help recycle, right, help reduce the landfill waste,” Patricia explained in today's episode. But GGirls Closet quickly became much more than a sustainability initiative. Patricia developed a consignment model that allows schools and nonprofits to generate revenue from donated clothing. “We do a consignment contract with them … they would get 40% of every item that is sold,” she said, describing how her business supports local communities.Patricia's journey began in 2013 when she launched her first boutique with her mother, inspired by their shared love of thrifting. Over the years, GGirls Closet has evolved into a hybrid e-commerce and brick-and-mortar store with a global reach. Patricia's mission grew to include partnerships with schools and nonprofits, where she organizes clothing drives and distributes donation bins. She emphasizes that the initiative isn't money-driven but rather about giving back. “If you need to clean out your closet, put it to a good cause,” she said.In addition to her consignment program, Patricia recently completed a successful Honeycomb Credit campaign, raising funds to expand her operations. The capital will support upgrades like a new point-of-sale system, improvements to the store's workspace, and even a stipend program for students participating in job training. “It was one of the most fulfilling things I've ever done,” she said of the crowdfunding experience.Patricia's vision is ambitious. She plans to franchise her model to impact more communities, expanding GGirls Closet's mission of sustainability and economic empowerment. Her story is a testament to the impact a for-profit business can have when it's guided by purpose and community values.By combining her entrepreneurial skills with a deep commitment to giving back, Patricia is redefining what it means to run a socially conscious business.tl;dr:GGirls Closet LLC combines sustainability and community impact by repurposing clothing to reduce landfill waste.CEO Patricia Gillmore partners with schools and nonprofits, helping them generate revenue through consignment programs.Patricia's recent crowdfunding campaign raised funds to expand operations and increase community impact.She shared how her superpower of “real connection” drives her success through collaboration and relationship-building.Patricia plans to franchise GGirls Closet to bring her mission of empowerment and sustainability to more communities.How to Develop Real Connection As a SuperpowerPatricia's superpower is her ability to connect deeply and authentically with people and organizations. She describes it as “real connection with real people,” explaining that her success comes from listening attentively, asking open-ended questions, and tailoring solutions to meet the needs of schools, nonprofits, and businesses. “The connecting really just comes with learning to talk,” Patricia said, emphasizing the importance of collaboration and authentic communication in building relationships. Her approach has helped her grow GGirls Closet into a community-driven business that serves over 10 nonprofits and Title I schools.Patricia shared an inspiring example of using her superpower to secure a contract with New Legacy, a nonprofit school for super seniors. She developed a program that allows students to earn real-world work credits by working at GGirls Closet. This partnership helps students graduate while gaining valuable job experience. With additional funding from her recent Honeycomb campaign, Patricia plans to introduce a stipend for participating students and create pathways for job placement after graduation. Her ability to collaborate with the school and design a mutually beneficial program exemplifies her talent for connecting with others to make a difference.Tips for Developing This Superpower:Listen Actively: Pay close attention to others' needs and ask open-ended questions to gather insights.Practice Communication: Rehearse conversations or networking scenarios to build confidence before important meetings.Collaborate Generously: Approach partnerships with the mindset of solving problems together rather than focusing on individual gains.Build Authentic Relationships: Focus on integrity and trust when forming connections, as Patricia describes with her “my word is bond” philosophy.Be Adaptive: Tailor your approach to fit the unique needs of each person or organization you engage with.By following Patricia's example and advice, you can make real connection a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfilePatricia Gillmore (she/her):CEO/Founder, GGirls Closet LLCAbout GGirls Closet LLC: GGirls Closet is a unique hybrid boutique based in Aurora, Colorado, with a powerful social mission. We partner with Title I schools, nonprofits, and small businesses by offering consignment accounts that turn resale into a funding opportunity.

    How To Build an Elevator Pitch Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. The elevator pitch is the short form of your startup pitch. It introduces the deal to an investor and gives the key highlights. The goal is not to tell them everything but rather to intrigue them to learn more about it. Here's how to build an elevator pitch: State in five words or fewer what the startup does. Show two examples of the impact of the startup using numbers. This could be exploding revenue, such as "We're seeing 50% month over month growth." It could have an impact on the community, such as "We help feed 5000 children a week." State the goal of the startup, such as "We're looking to reach a break-even in 4 months." Choose three words that best describe your startup and work them into the pitch. Choose three phrases that best describe your startup and build them into the pitch. The keywords will help the audience understand the context. The catch phrases will help the audience understand what the startup does. Consider these steps in building your elevator pitch. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding. Let's go startup something today. _______________________________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at: http://investorconnect.org Check out our other podcasts here: https://investorconnect.org/ For Investors check out: https://tencapital.group/investor-landing/ For Startups check out: https://tencapital.group/company-landing/ For eGuides check out: https://tencapital.group/education/ For upcoming Events, check out https://tencapital.group/events/ For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group Please follow, share, and leave a review.

    Bookwaves/Artwaves is produced and hosted by Richard Wolinsky. Links to assorted local theater & book venues   Jack Arnold (1916-1992). Film Director (“Creature from the Black Lagoon” et al), 1980 Jack Arnold, who died at the age of 75 in 1992, was the 1950s master of the science fiction film. Among the films he directed were It Came From Outer Space, The Creature from the Black Lagoon, Revenge of the Creature, Tarantula, and The Incredible Shrinking Man. The Probabilities crew – Richard A. Lupoff, Lawrence Davidson and Richard Wolinsky – received a small stipend from a science fiction convention and flew to Los Angeles to interview Jack Arnold in his office at Universal Studios. The interview is undated but was recorded in around 1980, give or take a year. It Came from Outer Space, along with two film noirs, were released  in 1953, Creature from the Black Lagoon in 1954 and Revenge of the Creature in 1955. The first western, The Man from Bitter Ridge along with Tarantula and his work on This Island Earth also came from 1955. The rest of the westerns, along with The Incredible Shrinking Man and the Peter Sellers classic The Mouse That Roared, came between 1956 and 1959. After that, he directed a couple more A pictures, as he called them, but his primary work moved to television, and from then until his retirement in 1984, he was constantly working on projects for the small screen, interspersed with the occasional film. Remastered and re-edited by Richard Wolinsky in July 2021.

    The Nuances of Pitching Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. In pitching investors, there are key nuances that can make or break the pitch. Here is a list of nuances to consider when pitching: Use the pitch to build a collaboration. Funding is a part of it, but not the only thing. Start your pitch with your core value proposition. State in plain language what your company does. If you have revenue numbers, build the pitch around them. Showcase the growth story with a graph showing a curve going up and to the right at 45 degrees. If you don't have revenue, then build the pitch around the key insight you have into solving the problem. Don't avoid the risk factors. Instead, focus on how you are mitigating those factors. Don't avoid the competition. Instead, show how the competition validates the market. Show how this raise will set up the business for the next round and is a part of an overall strategy. Consider these nuances in building your pitch. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding. Let's go startup something today. _______________________________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at: http://investorconnect.org Check out our other podcasts here: https://investorconnect.org/ For Investors check out: https://tencapital.group/investor-landing/ For Startups check out: https://tencapital.group/company-landing/ For eGuides check out: https://tencapital.group/education/ For upcoming Events, check out https://tencapital.group/events/ For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group Please follow, share, and leave a review.

    What do improv comedy, standup, and high-performing salespeople have in common? More than you think. In this episode of Sales & Cigars, Walter Crosby sits down with Kevin Hubschmann to explore how comedy skills like active listening, adaptability, brevity, and comfort with failure directly translate to better sales conversations. Kevin shares how doing improv in a cramped New York apartment sharpened his instincts on sales calls, why scripts often fail in real-world selling, and how learning to bomb—on stage and in sales—became a competitive advantage. This is a practical, mindset-shifting conversation for sellers who want to think differently about discovery, messaging, and growth. In This Episode: Falling into sales while trying to survive in New York City How improv immediately improved Kevin's sales calls Why listening is the most underrated sales skill The danger of rigid scripts when buyers "take a left turn" What standup comedy teaches about clarity and concise messaging Why losing deals is essential to becoming a better salesperson Using low-stakes reps to test ideas and improve performance How comedy training is now being used to develop sales teams Key Takeaways:  Great sales conversations are collaborative, not scripted Listening beats pitching every time Clear, concise messaging travels further inside an organization Failure is data—not a verdict Reps, reflection, and refinement matter more than talent Connect with Kevin: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevin-hubschmannn/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/laughdotkevin/ Laugh.Events: https://www.laugh.events/    Connect with Walter Crosby and Sales & Cigars: Website: Helix Sales Development LinkedIn: Walter Crosby Instagram: @wcrosby248 Facebook: Helix Sales Development   Share Your Thoughts: We'd love to hear your feedback and experiences!

The tensions are palpable, with political, social, and cultural divisions creating an atmosphere of discord. Charles (Chip) Hauss, Senior Fellow for Innovation at the Alliance for Peacebuilding and author of Peacebuilding Starts at Home, believes the solution lies in starting small—right in our own communities.In today's episode, Chip shared a critical insight: peacebuilding doesn't happen in a distant, abstract sense—it's something we actively build in our daily lives. “Peace is a verb,” Chip explained. “It is something I do. I build it. And more importantly, it starts at home.”For Chip, the importance of local peacebuilding became clear during a conversation with colleagues after the 2014 killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. The Alliance for Peacebuilding, at the time, focused almost exclusively on international conflicts. But Chip posed a poignant question: “How can we tell people in Burundi that we can solve their problems if we can't do it in Baltimore?”This realization sparked a shift in focus. Chip emphasized that addressing the microcosm of our lives—our families, neighborhoods, and local communities—has the power to ripple outward. By fostering understanding and collaboration in these spaces, we can create broader societal change.What makes this approach even more compelling is its inclusivity. Chip encourages finding common ground even with those we disagree with. “Our first instinct should be to find the things that we share, find the things that we are for,” he said. This mindset, he believes, is the foundation for building meaningful relationships and, ultimately, peace.Chip's work is now evolving into a larger movement to equip individuals with the tools to build peace in their own lives. By focusing on what unites us instead of what divides us, he hopes to inspire millions to take small, tangible steps toward a more peaceful society.It's a powerful reminder that while global challenges may seem insurmountable, the solutions often begin with simple, human connections close to home.tl;dr:Charles Hauss explains why peacebuilding must start at home to inspire broader societal change.The Alliance for Peacebuilding shifted focus to U.S. communities after Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014.Chip emphasizes finding shared values, even with those we strongly disagree with.He shares a practical example of applying peacebuilding to resolve local condo tensions.Chip's new book and movement aim to empower individuals to build peace in daily life.How to Develop Building Meaningful Relationships As a SuperpowerChip's superpower is his ability to build meaningful relationships, especially with people he disagrees with. He explained, “My challenge, and it's become my superpower, was to work with…to start where people are.” For Chip, peacebuilding isn't about tolerating differences but about celebrating them. He shared, “Peacebuilding is not a burden or a chore. It's actually something you can do for fun.” His unique gift lies in creating connections that foster understanding and collaboration, even in contentious or divided spaces.Chip shared a story about moving into a new condo complex where management issues caused tension among residents. Many neighbors were frustrated and confrontational, but Chip encouraged a different approach. He suggested getting to know the new building manager, understanding her perspective, and working together constructively. Within weeks, the community made progress, replacing the manager and starting to build a stronger, more collaborative environment. This story exemplifies Chip's ability to transform conflict into connection through relationship-building.Tips for Developing the Superpower:Start where people are—understand their values, perspectives, and interests.Focus on what you share rather than what divides you.Embrace disagreements as opportunities for learning and growth.Approach peacebuilding as something enjoyable rather than a chore.Encourage collaboration by guiding conversations toward constructive solutions.By following Chip's example and advice, you can make building meaningful relationships a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileCharles (Chip) Hauss (he/him):Senior Fellow for Innovation and Emeritus member of the board o directors, Alliance for PeacebuildingAbout Alliance for Peacebuilding: AfP is the largest network of peacebuilding organizations in the world with over 250 organizational members. After having done the bulk of its work around the world, its leaders and members have decided that peacebuilding has to start at home and that if we want to help people in Botswana create a more peaceful society, we have to do so in Baltimore as well. Chip Hauss will be part of the team that makes that happen starting--but not ending with--the publication of his book, not surprisingly, called Peacebuilding Starts at Home.Website: peacebuildingstartsathome.us and allianceforpeacebuilding.orgOther URL: amzn.to/3KPaWBaBiographical Information: Charles “Chip” Hauss has been exploring ways of producing large scale social and political change through nonviolent and cooperative means since his undergraduate days in the late 1960s. In all of this work, Hauss has tried to be a political bridge builder who brings “strange political bedfellows” together to help solve problems that can only be effectively addressed if they work together. Hauss is currently Senior Fellow for Innovation at the Alliance for Peacebuilding where he helps lead its Peacebuilding Starts at Home initiative which focuses on what the Judy and Peter Blum Kovler Foundation refers to as “America's neglected needs.Hauss is the author of nineteen books on peacebuilding and comparative politics. His newest book Peacebuilding Starts at Home was published in November.Hauss holds a BA from Oberlin and a PhD from the University of Michigan.LinkedIn Profile: linkedin.com/in/chip-hauss-03a64744/Support Our SponsorsOur generous sponsors make our work possible, serving impact investors, social entrepreneurs, community builders and diverse founders.

From $5 wrench attacks to regulation by prosecution horrors like the Samurai case, TC warns normies: Bitcoin isn't just "number go up"—it's your stand for freedom in a world rigged to control you. If you're stacking sats the best thing you can do to level up your security is to keep learning!
