Welcome to this classic episode. Classics are my favorite episodes from the past 10 years, published once a month. These are N of 1 conversations with N of 1 people. Sean Feeney makes you want to be a better person, friend, and leader. Sean is the co-founder of Grove House Hospitality Group and the owner of Lilia and Misi, two of New York City's most sought-after restaurants. He left his job in Trading to chase down a dream with Michelin star chef Missy Robbins. Sean leveraged his finance background to write his own rulebook for the restaurant industry, crafting several establishments that now boast several thousand people on the waitlist any given night. His story is as entertaining as it is inspiring. As we go step by step through his business endeavors, he points out all of the times he was told “it's just always been done this way” and how that revealed to him where he could innovate. Sean's restaurants are the perfect example of building a business into the fabric of a community, collaborating with other brands in authentic ways, and staying true to yourself along the way. Please enjoy this awesome conversation with Sean Feeney.  For the full show notes, transcript, and links to mentioned content, check out the episode page here. ----- This episode is brought to you by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WorkOS⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Welcome to episode #998 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Annie Wilson is a marketing professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and co-author, with Ryan Hamilton, of The Growth Dilemma - Managing Your Brand When Different Customers Want Different Things. Her work examines the deep interplay between consumer behavior, culture and brand identity, helping leaders understand why growth often creates as many risks as it does opportunities. In The Growth Dilemma, Annie unpacks how efforts to reach new customer segments can clash with the values of loyal buyers, sometimes threatening the very meaning of a brand. Drawing from real-world examples (from Apple's software missteps to Gucci's unintended association with reality TV fame) she reveals how scarcity, exclusivity and cultural perception shape brand power in ways most executives overlook. Beyond brand strategy, Annie's research and teaching explore the ways marketing has evolved as a discipline, especially in an era of AI, fragmented media and globalization. She highlights how authenticity, community and cultural nuance are becoming non-negotiable for sustainable success, and why short-termism remains one of the most dangerous traps for modern marketers. For those navigating the intersection of consumer connection and cultural influence, Annie offers a critical lens on how to balance growth with integrity, how to adapt without betraying your core identity and how to see branding not just as a commercial practice, but as a cultural one. This conversation is essential listening for anyone grappling with the future of marketing in an age of shifting consumer expectations, technological disruption and global homogenization.

Let's be real—parenthood doesn't come with a pause button for your health goals. In this episode, we dive deep into what it actually looks like to stay fit while juggling sleepless nights, toddler tantrums, school drop-offs, and everything in between. We unpack the tension between grit and grace—when to push and when to pivot—and why the old-school “no excuses” approach to fitness often fails parents entirely. You'll hear personal stories, hard-won lessons, and real strategies to help you move forward without burning out. Whether you're running on caffeine and chaos or simply trying to make time for yourself again, this one's for you. Topics We Cover: How sleep deprivation impacts recovery, cravings, and mood Training through unpredictable schedules (and why perfection is overrated) The underrated power of community and accountability How to make workouts work with your kids (not around them) Why mindset shifts matter more than motivation Because fitness doesn't have to wait until life calms down—it should meet you where you are.

On the holy mount stands the city he founded; 2     the Lord loves the gates of Zion     more than all the dwelling places of Jacob. 3 Glorious things of you are spoken,     O city of God.  4 Among those who know me I mention Rahab and Babylon;     behold, Philistia and Tyre, with Cush—     “This one was born there,” they say. 5 And of Zion it shall be said,     “This one and that one were born in her”;     for the Most High himself will establish her. 6 The Lord records as he registers the peoples,     “This one was born there.”  7 Singers and dancers alike say,     “All my springs are in you.”1.     Which bothers you more, exclusivity or inclusivity?2.     God was exclusive in order to be inclusive. Does this make sense to you? Can you put that in your own words?3.     Who are your Philistines or Gazans? Who do you not want to be your neighbor?4.     How should new life in Jesus impact the way you treat and welcome others?5.     How can always re-focusing on Jesus reduce the barriers to entry in our community?

Reimagining Intellectual Property in the Age of Luxury Tech: I'm curating this exclusive side event in Geneva on September 1 during the Luxury Innovation Summit. Limited seats, apply now to join the conversation.On this episode, we discuss how the explosive growth of the influencer economy has created a fascinating new frontier in intellectual property law, where personal brands clash with corporate interests and digital avatars raise unprecedented legal questions.This episode unpacks the high-stakes IP battles reshaping the $20 billion influencer industry, revealing how savvy creators protect their most valuable asset, their identity. Through compelling case studies like Charli D'Amelio's strategic trademark registrations and the legendary "Battle of the Kylies" between Jenner and Minogue, we explore how influencers transform fleeting social media fame into lasting, legally-protected brand equity.But the legal landscape doesn't just apply to human influencers. We venture into the uncanny valley of virtual personalities like Lil Miquella and Noonoouri, examining how these digital beings, composed entirely of intellectual property, navigate contracts, licensing, and disclosure requirements. As luxury brands increasingly embrace these pixel-perfect ambassadors who never age and never sleep, the boundaries between creative assets and personas continue to blur.The global response to these challenges reveals fascinating cultural and legal differences. From Tennessee's groundbreaking AI-ELVIS Act protecting voice rights to China's comprehensive regulations on "deep synthesis" content, we witness how legal frameworks worldwide are evolving to address deepfakes, digital cloning, and the ownership of virtual identities.Whether you're an influencer building your personal brand, a marketer navigating partnership agreements, or simply curious about the legal infrastructure behind social media fame, this episode offers crucial insights into who truly owns your digital presence—and how to protect it. Remember: in the high-stakes world of influence, the law isn't here to rain on your parade; it's here to ensure you own the parade itself.Subscribe now to explore the intersection of intellectual property and digital influence, and join us at the Luxury Innovation Summit 2025 in Geneva this September for our special event on IP in the age of luxury technology.Send us a textSupport the show

Mark Goldheart and Hevor Krump dissect the aftermath of American Eagle's Sydney Sweeney ad campaign. They explore the pitfalls of chasing trends, the power of niching down in marketing, and why inclusivity isn't always the best strategy for brands. The duo delves into case studies like Lululemon and TikToker Hubs Life to illustrate the risks of expanding too broadly or changing your core audience. They argue that successful marketing often requires targeting specific demographics, even if it means excluding others.Follow Trevor Crump on Instagram and TikTok @thetrevorcrump for more marketing insights and direct feedback.Please connect with Trevor on social media.

In today's devotional, Dr. Michael A. Youssef examines how Jesus' actions at the raising of Lazarus proclaim the Gospel.If you would like more insight into today's devotional topic, listen to Dr. Michael A. Youssef's sermon Evidence of the Exclusivity of Jesus: Death to Life: LISTEN NOW

In this 7-part series, Dr. Youssef not only proclaims the exclusivity of Christ as the one true Messiah but invites us to deeper trust, wholehearted surrender, and life-transforming worship in response to who He is—not merely what He can give.

Crucifixion and Salvation Jesus was crucified between two male factors (criminals). One on the right and one on the left. Jesus was innocent, as declared by Pilate, but was crucified according to God's plan for salvation. One of the criminals recognized Jesus as the Son of God and asked for mercy. The other criminal continued to rail against Jesus. The criminal who asked for mercy was told by Jesus that he would be in paradise that day. The message is a call to examine one's relationship with Jesus and to seek salvation. To not be on the wrong side of Jesus at the time of death. Being on the Wrong Side of Jesus The message explores instances in the New Testament where people found themselves on the wrong side of Jesus. It is possible to be on the wrong side of Jesus, even after having been on the right side. Through sin and straying from God. Repentance and turning back to God are necessary to correct this. The Wrong Side of Mercy The story of Jesus healing a man with a withered hand in the temple is used as an example. The Pharisees and scribes were more concerned with trapping Jesus than with the man's suffering. Being on the wrong side of mercy means being unwilling to show compassion or see the needs of others. It leads to bitterness, hatred, and a lack of love. It is possible to turn from being on the wrong side of mercy and come to Christ. Those on the wrong side of mercy miss Christ and what their soul needs. Alienation and feeling outnumbered are signs of being on the wrong side of Christ. The Wrong Side of Grace The story of the woman caught in adultery is used as an example. Being on the wrong side of grace involves being guilty and condemned by sin. Jesus offered grace to the woman, despite her guilt. Conviction of sin is necessary to be set free by God. Those on the wrong side of grace may leave feeling convicted but unchanged. It is a conscious decision to remain on the wrong side of grace. In hell, there is no grace. Jesus did not condemn the woman but told her to go and sin no more. It is possible to be a great sinner and still find salvation through God's grace. The Wrong Side of the Word The story of the disciples in John chapter 6 is used as an example. Many disciples left Jesus because his words offended them. The Word of God will stand either for or against a person. It is better to embrace the Word, even when it is difficult to understand, than to run from it. Those on the wrong side of the Word will find themselves among the ungodly and wicked. It is impossible to be right with both the world and God. Jesus did not change his word to keep those who were leaving. The Word of God has the power to save, keep, and set free. Peter recognized that Jesus had the words of eternal life and that there was nowhere else to go. Exclusivity of Salvation There is only one way to God and to heaven: through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. Being on the wrong side of Jesus leads to hell, a life without mercy, grace, and His Word. Surrendering one's life to God is necessary for salvation. The story of the thief on the cross illustrates how to get on the right side of Jesus. Believing that Jesus is the Son of God. Pastor Tommy's personal testimony is shared as an example of going from lost to saved in a short time. Being on the right side of Jesus brings peace and assurance of eternal life. Call to Action A call is made for those who are convicted to come forward and be saved. Repentance and belief in Jesus as the Son of God are necessary for salvation. Salvation brings inner change that leads to outward transformation. The things once loved are now hated, and the things once hated are now loved. Life on the wrong side of Jesus is filled with heartache and suffering. Hell is a place of torment and separation from God.

On this Ropes & Gray podcast, licensing and collaboration partner Hannah England and antitrust partner Lisa Kaltenbrunner discuss how EU antitrust rules impact non-competes and other exclusivity provisions in collaboration agreements, license agreements, and asset acquisitions. They explain why these rules apply even to U.S. companies, outline the key differences between collaboration and license agreements, and highlight the risks of non-compliance, such as unenforceability and regulatory scrutiny. The conversation offers practical guidance on structuring non-compete clauses to align with EU competition law.

In this 7-part series, Dr. Youssef not only proclaims the exclusivity of Christ as the one true Messiah but invites us to deeper trust, wholehearted surrender, and life-transforming worship in response to who He is—not merely what He can give.

In Evidence of the Exclusivity of Jesus, Dr. Michael Youssef presents seven undeniable signs from the Gospel of John proving that Jesus Christ is the one and only Son of God. Each message powerfully affirms the divinity of Christ, the inerrancy of Scripture, and the absolute necessity of repentance and faith.

This week, Terrence wrapped up our Controversial Christianity series focusing on The Exclusivity of Jesus. He emphasized that Jesus is the only way to salvation, highlighting three core truths: • Christian Truth #1: Jesus is the Exclusive Way to Salvation • Christian Truth #2: Jesus Calls His Followers to Exclusive Relationship • Christian Truth #3: Jesus Honors Our Choices and Excludes Those Who Reject Him Terrence challenges us to resist cultural trends toward universalism and diluted faith, urging full commitment even when it leads to discomfort or conflict. Biblical references, such as John 14:6 and Luke 14:26, underscore the gravity and clarity of Jesus's claims. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a radical re-centering of faith, elevating Jesus to the singular authority in one's life. Believers are exhorted to evangelize boldly, pray fervently for loved ones, and stand firm in truth, even when it costs them relationships or comfort. We live in a world obsessed with inclusivity. Everyone is encouraged to find “their own truth,” and any claim to exclusivity is labeled intolerant. Yet Christianity makes exactly such a claim: Jesus is the only way to God. That belief, long central to the faith, is increasingly challenged both inside and outside the church. His message responds with urgency: if believers don't have clarity, how can they share the gospel with conviction? The message's aim is to anchor biblical truth in an age of relativism. As the series closes, believers are urged to resist the cultural urge to trade doctrinal clarity for comfort. Christianity has always been controversial—and always will be. True compassion is not enabling falsehood but offering truth in love. Jesus Himself warned that following Him would cause division, even within families (Matthew 10:34–39). “When truth feels costly, resist trading clarity for comfort. Instead, embrace faithfulness—led by compassion.”
