Podcasts about experiential

Think of a store that's not just a place to buy things, but an experience you can see, hear, and touch. That's the essence of experiential retail media—the new frontier where advertising, content, and commerce merge to create memorable moments for shoppers, and incremental revenue for brands, in both the short term and long term. Andrew Lipsman, Commerce and Media Analyst, and Matt Eichorn, Co-Founder and CEO at Freeosk joined the podcast to explain it all.

Highlights of interviews with Ryan Heuser, SVP of Experiential at Liquid Death, discussing the company's origins, its brand partnership with the Philadelphia Eagles, its approach to experiential marketing, and how its strategy sets it apart from other brands in the category, as well as with Jordan Yob, Senior Brand Marketing Manager at Saucony, on the brand's heritage, the importance of staying consumer-focused, and the “Marathumb Challenge.” Hosted on Acast.

In this conversation, Phil Brown and Will Dobud discuss the themes of youth mental health, the perceptions of today's youth, and the importance of experiential education. They explore the origins of the book 'Kids These Days', the societal tendency to label and control youth, and the historical context of education and mental health. The discussion emphasizes the need for adults to rethink their approach to youth, focusing on building connections and understanding the environmental influences on development.   Historical figures have often lamented the state of youth, dating back to Socrates. Overprotection of youth can lead to disconnection and misunderstanding. Experiential education allows youth to take risks and learn from failures. The industrialized education system may not serve the needs of today's youth. Mental health diagnoses may reflect societal failures rather than individual issues. Youth can be seen as indicators of societal health, akin to canaries in coal mines. Environmental factors significantly influence youth development and mental health. Building connections with youth requires understanding their unique experiences. Sitting and sharing meals with youth fosters connection and understanding.

In his book "Postmodern Pilgrims," Dr. Leonard Sweet offers a vision for the 21st century church that engages both the church's traditions and its need for innovation. He calls for a faith that is both ancient and future, historical and contemporary. While he reminds us that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8), he wonders how the church, the body of Christ, can give a compelling and imaginative witness to Jesus today. In this sermon series, we will explore what Sweet calls the "EPIC" church: Experiential, Participatory, Imagistic, and Communal.

This past month we took a look at the timely topic of agritourism and the potential for farms to serve as community and educational centers. This summer we saw a lot of protests against mass tourism and the effects that it's having on tourist centers like Barcelona near where I live. The antidote to this is something that we debate in past episodes I've done on the developing series on regenerative tourism and in this panel session, we'll take a look at it from a farm perspective.  In this session I speak to three people who either have integrated farm visits and agrotoursim as a significant part of their farm enterprise, or are working to empower farmers to integrate tourism and commuinity events into their operation.  I was lucky enough to get three fantastic guests who I happen to know personally and exemplify some of the best in entrepreneurial tenacity, creativity, and experience.

You'll also hear practical tips for keeping your school garden safe during the winter months, while still letting it teach lessons about cycles, resilience, and connection to the natural world.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why you don't need to rush to close your school garden in the fallCool-season crops that can thrive well into winter (kale, chard, parsley, spinach)How letting your garden “go natural” teaches students about seasonal changeThe surprising role of “dead” plants in supporting pollinators and soil healthWhy fall and early spring cleanups can actually hurt your garden's biodiversitySafety considerations when leaving plants and stems in place over winterKey Takeaway: School gardens don't need to be “put to bed” in fall.

Ep. 197 (Part 1 of 3) | Polarity management pioneer and author Barry Johnson and adult development expert Beena Sharma are masterful teachers on the subject of polarities and what polarity thinking can bring to the world, benefitting our well-being at every level. Together they explain what polarities are, why they matter, how to apply and leverage them, and the essence of polarity wisdom: pursuing the upsides of opposite poles. Barry is careful to explain that although either/or thinking is the root of our troubles, both/and thinking by itself isn't the answer either. Integrating either/or with both/and thinking and recognizing the interdependence of all things is the road to transformation and, Beena adds, the engine of human development, of human maturity.Barry explains the profound spiritual understanding foundational to polarity wisdom and Beena details how polarities shift according to our developmental stage. Each of the polarities discussed—justice/mercy, claiming power/sharing power, being/doing, to name a few—illuminates its sphere, whether it relates to democracy, social justice, or spiritual practice. Barry and Beena are passionate about the promise of polarity thinking and their excitement is contagious in this fast-paced, delightfully lucid dialogue, jam-packed with information that is practical, inspiring, and potentially life changing. Recorded May 22, 2025.“Either/or thinking without both/and thinking is the root cause of poverty, racism, sexism, and war.”Topics & Time Stamps – Part 1Introducing polarity management pioneer & author Barry Johnson and adult development expert Beena Sharma (00:48)How did Barry discover polarities?

It's “the most wonderful time of the year.”In this episode of Campaign Chemistry, Campaign staffers Luz Corona and Leslie Blount explore the evolution of the US Open into a cultural and marketing phenomenon, highlighting how the event's fan engagement, brand partnerships and on-site activations have turned it into a playground of creative marketing. This year, the tennis tournament celebrates the 75th anniversary of Althea Gibson, the first Black tennis player to compete at the US Open in 1950 (then called the U.S. National Championship), as her silhouette is the focal point of this year's “breaking barriers” theme. Alongside the momentous occasion, the US Open continues to deliver the ultimate experience for tennis fans everywhere, seen in the increasing presence of brands including Lavazza, American Express and La Roche-Posay.The team also identifies trends in major sporting tentpole events (e.g., the power of "FOMO") and the benefit of making these events accessible; this year's US Open Fan Week shattered records and welcomed nearly 240,000 fans (for free) to the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center before the tournament even began.They also spotlight individual brand strategies and the impact of experiential marketing, partnerships with athletes and activations both inside and outside the stadium. The sound bite"It's all about FOMO and exclusivity."The takeawaysThe US Open is a cultural phenomenon, as seen in its 2024 record-breaking attendance that saw over 1 million attendees.Tennis has become more mainstream, especially in fashion. FP Movement, a subsidiary of Free People, tapped into the trend years ago, quietly building a presence in the athleisure world.Financial brands such as Amex and JPMorganChase are consistently making sure they enhance experiences for their cardholders, as seen in their major footprints at the US Open and other sporting events.The atmosphere at the US Open is electric and family-friendly, furthering the potential of brand connection with younger generations.Brands are focusing on exclusivity and personalization through the power of tech, as seen in The American Express Fan Experience that offers personalized Wilson tennis balls and customized Polo Ralph Lauren merch.The evolution of tennis reflects broader industry trends including the power of fandom, cultural relevance, tech-enabled engagement and true authenticity.

In this episode, Kamini Wood explores "experiential avoidance," defining it as the conscious or subconscious effort to evade uncomfortable thoughts, emotions, sensations, or conversations. She explains that while this behavior is a natural, wired-for-survival response, it ultimately proves unhelpful. Avoiding difficult emotions or situations, such as conflict, rejection, financial anxiety, or vulnerability, only causes them to intensify or reappear. Kamini emphasizes that this avoidance keeps us stuck, emotionally exhausted, and disconnected from ourselves and others, hindering genuine healing, connection, and growth. She encourages listeners to observe the urge to avoid, name the feeling or fear, pause, breathe, and consciously choose to sit with the discomfort, even for a few seconds, to move towards growth and deeper connection.Discover more powerful tips and guidance here: https://www.kaminiwood.com/blog/Learn more about my coaching services: https://www.kaminiwood.com/services/Follow me for more empowering inspiration and guidance:https://www.instagram.com/itsauthenticme/https://www.facebook.com/itsauthenticme/https://www.pinterest.com/itsauthenticme/

Examining the relationships between Urban Agriculture and Policy is the area of interest for this episode of The Capstone, featuring Sean Flaherty. Sean cites an increasingly urbanized population with growing levels of food insecurity, as the motivation to look beyond improving efficiencies in food production to explore the impacts of policy on municipalities, using the City of Alexandria Virginia as a Case Study. His Capstone project examines the shortage of policies directed toward urban food production–and he advocates for the need to consider the role of diverse stakeholders–including property owners and non property owning municipal residents, urban developers, food and social justice advocates, and municipal agencies–in the work of creating structures that support increased food production in urban areas…or as he says, “production closer to the need.”

Jack Shannon is the Co-founder and CEO of Recess, a brand activation platform for top consumer brands, like PepsiCo, General Mills, and Milk Bar. With over 15 years of experience scaling innovative marketing solutions, he and his partner have scaled Recess from the ground up. Jack is also an investor in Venvee and Editframe.  In this episode… As retail media networks proliferate and demand more brand dollars, many companies struggle to identify which channels deliver results beyond the major platforms like Amazon and Walmart. With hundreds of fragmented options, it's increasingly difficult to measure ROI, target consumers, and justify media spend. How can brands identify a scalable, performance-driven alternative that bridges physical and digital touchpoints? Experiential marketer and media strategist Jack Shannon advises brands to leverage performance-driven sampling and targeted real-world applications. This includes using mobile data to reach high-density shopper audiences in environments like gyms, schools, and apartment communities — places where people are naturally engaged. By blending audience targeting, digital amplification, and measurement tools like store lift analysis and loyalty data integration, experiential marketing can drive bottom-funnel metrics and long-term customer loyalty. In this episode of The Digital Deep Dive, Aaron Conant sits down with Jack Shannon, Co-founder and CEO of Recess, to discuss measuring and scaling experiential marketing. Jack talks about sampling as a form of performance media, how social amplification and real-world data drive meaningful outcomes, and how to reach offline audiences.

This episode builds on Dave Norton's article on Substack about Kate King's report in the Wall Street Journal: Can the French Reinvent America's Broken Department Store Model. Aransas Savas, Joe Pine, and Dave Norton discuss the evolving landscape of retail, particularly focusing on the experiential model as exemplified by the French department store Printemps. They explore the differences between traditional American department stores and European models, emphasizing the importance of creating engaging experiences that encourage customers to linger. The conversation also touches on metrics for measuring success in experiential retail and highlights case studies like La Varia Leo bookstore, while critiquing Macy's for missing opportunities to connect with consumers. Takeaways The American department store model is in decline. Experiential retail focuses on creating reasons for customers to stay. Time spent in a retail space correlates with increased sales. European department stores are thriving by offering immersive experiences. Retailers need to shift from product staging to experience staging. Metrics for success should include time well spent and revenue increases. Charging for experiences can turn marketing into a profit center. La Varia Leo bookstore successfully monetized its experience. Macy's has not adapted to the experiential retail trend. Retailers must innovate to compete with online shopping. Sound bites "It's about time well spent." "You want to hang out there." "Macy's has done none of this."

What happens when a powerhouse trial lawyer and his equally driven wife trade suits and city life for vines and vision in Oregon's Willamette Valley? You get LucidWild — a boutique winery rooted in purpose, passion, and one hell of a view.In this episode of the Weinnotes Podcast, I sit down with Blair and LJ Nicholas, the couple behind LucidWild, to talk about their incredible journey from the courtroom and corporate world to crafting wine with soul and intention. This isn't a “retirement” story — it's a second chapter fueled by grit, heart, and a relentless desire to create something lasting from the land.We kick things off with a blind tasting (spoiler: it's a 2016 Chardonnay from their winemaker, the iconic Isabelle Meunier), and then get into the backstory of how LucidWild came to be. From their early inspiration on a trip to Tuscany to planting 300 vines in their backyard, Blair and LJ share how the spark of curiosity turned into a full-blown calling.You'll hear how they fell in love with Oregon wine after hearing a Burgundian winemaker tell them, “This is not about the winemaker. This is about the land.” That philosophy stuck. It's the soul of LucidWild, where every decision — from native ferments to the intentional layout of their immersive, multi-room tasting experience — honors the land and the stories it tells.LJ takes us behind the design of Lucid Wild's stunning new tasting space, from the Sky Room to the speakeasy hidden in plain sight. Her approach? Experiential and emotional design that invites guests to feel like they're walking into a friend's home — not a pretentious wine fortress. You'll hear about their “ideal lab” for business meetings, a game room with billiards and bocce, and how the bathrooms (yes, the bathrooms) became an unlikely Instagram hotspot thanks to the label artwork proudly displayed inside.Blair gets real about why he left law — not to escape, but to build something with meaning. He shares how LucidWild's wine lineup reflects different expressions of their estate vineyard. Every bottle is made from 100% estate fruit, and they even use a golf cart to take guests right to the vines where the wine comes from. It's about connection to the land, to each other, and to the stories shared over a great glass of wine.We talk about their exciting new sparkling wine collaboration made by Isabelle Meunier and her husband, acclaimed sparkling winemaker Andrew Davis. It's their first sparkling release and a labor of love that brought both families together around the table (literally) to taste through styles and build something uniquely Oregon.Throughout the interview, we dig into what makes Oregon wine, and Willamette Valley in particular, so special right now. From world-class Pinot and Chardonnay to a rising sparkling scene, Blair and LJ are bullish on the valley's future and grateful to be part of a region where intention still matters more than mass production.We also lighten things up with a round of rapid-fire questions. LJ wants the superpower to duplicate herself (because who doesn't?), Blair wants to solve homelessness, and they both agree that wine is best enjoyed with good people, good music, and a whole lot of heart.Lucid Wild isn't just a winery. It's a philosophy, a commitment to making beautiful wines that reflect place, people, and purpose. Whether you're a wine lover, a design nerd, or someone dreaming of your own next chapter, this episode is full of inspiration, real talk, and a little sparkle (literally and figuratively).

Welcome back! Sorry for our long hiatus. In this episode, Clark and Matt explore GENERATIVE LEARNING. Early on, Clark brings up Craik and Lockhart's research about how information is processed on different levels (Craik, F. I. M., & Lockhart, R. S. (1972). Levels of processing: A framework for memory research. Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal behavior, 11, 671-684.) The paper can be found here. Throughout the podcast we talk about our colleagues and friends, John Sweller and Paul Kirschner several times. Some of the references we allude to are: LDA Podcast. (2024, January 25).

A favorite source from Rich, along with his long-time colleague and our LDA friend, Ruth Clark, is: Clark, R. C., & Mayer, R. E. (2024). E‑Learning and the Science of Instruction: Proven Guidelines for Consumers and Designers of Multimedia Learning (5th ed.). Wiley. Clark relays a story of working with Kathy Fisher during his time as a graduate student, discussing her use of semantic networking with biology students to help them represent their understandings: Fisher, K.

Educational Psychologist, 41(2), 75–86. https://doi.org/10.1207/s15326985ep4102_1 Next, we discuss how to confirm whether the learners are able to retrieve the information being conveyed to them. Clark shares the work of teacher and cognitive scientist, Pooja Aggerwal: Agarwal, P.K. (2019). Retrieval Practice & Bloom's Taxonomy: Do Students Need Fact Knowledge Before Higher Order Learning?

Send in a question or comment via text.This week on The Anxious Truth, we're talking about what happens when a problem solving mind sees itself as a problem to solve.Your mind is an incredible problem-solving machine - it's what sets humans apart and has helped us thrive for thousands of years. But when that same problem-solving ability turns inward and starts trying to "fix" your own thoughts, emotions, and internal experiences, things can go very wrong very quickly.If you're stuck in cycles of overthinking, constantly trying to figure out your anxiety, or exhausting yourself attempting to solve feelings that aren't meant to be solved, this episode is for you. We'll explore how the same mental abilities that help us navigate the world can trap us when they're aimed at our own internal experiences.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Introduction - When problem solving becomes the problem01:54 How the mind forms relationships and connections between experiences03:09 When problem solving leads to anxiety, overthinking, and control issues04:26 What happens when problem solving turns inward on our feelings06:47 The spectacular failure of trying to solve internal experiences09:02 Understanding the Cognitive Attentional Syndrome (CAS)10:42 Experiential avoidance and the cost of feeling better now12:58 How fear generalizes through mental connections14:58 Shifting from content focus to process awareness16:09 Real examples: panic responses vs. healthier approaches to triggers18:03 Practical principles for recognizing when problem solving goes wrong19:29 Moving toward values while feeling uncomfortable - psychological flexibilityKey takeaway: Your thoughts and emotions are experiences to have, not problems to solve.Whether you're dealing with panic disorder, agoraphobia, OCD, health anxiety, or generalized anxiety, learning to recognize when your problem-solving mind is making things worse can be a crucial step in your recovery journey.This episode explores evidence-based concepts from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Metacognitive Therapy in accessible, practical terms. Remember: recovery isn't about finding quick fixes or magical solutions - it's about learning to relate differently to your internal experiences.Resources mentioned:My SubstackFull Show Notes For This EpisodeIf you found this episode helpful, please leave a rating and review - it helps other people find the podcast and get the help they need.Support The Anxious Truth: If you find the podcast helpful and want to support my work, you can buy me a coffee.
