Welche Kanäle und Tools sind entscheidend – und wie kann man sie sinnvoll kombinieren? Von der Rolle von Print-Mailings (leben sie wirklich länger?) über smarte Prozess-Bots und personalisierte Videos bis hin zu omnichannelfähigen Kommunikationserlebnissen: Es erwartet euch ein bunter Mix aus Erfahrungen, Trends und echten Erfolgsbeispielen, die zeigen, wie Unternehmen mit den steigenden Erwartungen und der fortschreitenden Digitalisierung Schritt halten.Außerdem geht es darum, wie wichtig es ist, Denkstrukturen aufzubrechen, Veränderung pragmatisch und Schritt für Schritt anzugehen und dabei den Kundendialog so relevant, schnell und persönlich wie möglich zu gestalten. Natürlich lernt ihr auch Achim selbst besser kennen – seinen Antrieb, seine Sicht auf moderne Führung und die berühmten „Famous Last Words“, die Mut machen, neue Wege zu gehen.

This week on Dem Vinyl Boyz, we pull on our eyeliner, crank the volume, and drop the needle on one of the most iconic rock albums of the 2000s — My Chemical Romance’s The Black Parade. Released in 2006, this ambitious concept album redefined emo and pop punk, blending theatrical Queen-like instrumentation with raw post-hardcore emotion. Led by Gerard Way's dramatic vocals and a story about a dying man reflecting on life, the album unfolds like a rock opera. Tracks like “Welcome to the Black Parade,” “Famous Last Words,” and “I Don’t Love You” became anthems of youthful rebellion, heartbreak, and identity. We explore how The Black Parade elevated MCR from cult heroes to mainstream legends, the album’s dark but empowering themes, and how it became a coming-of-age soundtrack for a generation. Whether you were wearing skinny jeans and screaming the lyrics in your bedroom, or discovering the band now, this episode is a celebration of the album’s enduring legacy and its bold artistic vision. Join us as we salute the parade that never ends.

I absolutely cannot wait to read them myself.In this episode, we dive deep into Camilla's world, a literary agent whose seemingly normal life completely implodes when her husband turns out to be the gunman in a hostage situation. Gillian also gives us the inside scoop on the inspiration behind Famous Last Words and how she loves to flip the script on traditional thrillers by telling them through a female lens. And get this – she's not messing around with her research! She's now a qualified Level 1 Hostage Negotiator! How impressive is that?! We also discuss Gillian's journey to becoming a bestselling author and I found her story so inspiring; I'm sure you will too.Of course, as with every episode, we delve into the five books that have shaped Gillian's life, and you can find them all listed below with handy links if you fancy treating yourself:The Pact by Jodi PicoultThe Time Traveller's Wife by Audrey NiffeneggerApple Tree Yard by Louise DoughtyYou Don't Know Me by Imran MahmoodMissing, Presumed by Susie SteinerAlso mentioned in this episode:Gillian's fabulous podcast The Honest Authors' PodcastNight Watching by Tracy Sierra - the book Gillian raved about!

In dieser True Crime-History-Sprachwissenschafts-Crossover-Folge besprechen wir einen Mord. Den Mord an einem Diktator, der mit Kalkül und Charisma die Alleinherrschaft an sich gerissen hat: Gaius Julius Caesar. Er war Feldherr, Schrifsteller, Frauenheld und der Totengräber der römischen Republik. Um seine letzten Worte ranken sich nicht erst seit Shakespeares "Auch du, Brutus?" Mythen. Nach einem kurzen Profiling unseres Opfers und der Täter schildern wir den Tathergang. Danach geht es ums Wort: Was sagte Caesar als letztes? Zu wem sprach er? Und vor allem: in welcher Sprache? Um unsere Fragen zu beantworten, bitten wir drei Zeugen zur Befragung, die uns auch bereitwillig Informationen geben, sich jedoch leider widersprechen. Es beginnt ein zähes Ringen darum, was Wahrheit und was Fiktion einzelner ist. Werden unsere zwei unerschrockenen Detektive Anton und Jakob den Fall klären können oder werden Caesars letzt Worte für immer hinter dem Schleier des Vergessens verborgen bleiben? Ein Fall von Podcast von Anton und Jakob.

Hey cryptic cuties, we hope you are enjoying our South America focused eps for the last couple weeks. We love learning about different countries and their folklore, and are always excited to share it with you all. Kelsey takes a dive into the beliefs of the Mapuche people of Chile and Argentina, whose folklore centers around duality and balance between opposing forces, bleeding into everything, including their creatures. Alanna shares the history of el duende, a trickster spirit that may try to lure you into the woods. It is said to target lonely single women , or only children, or only men, it really depends on what you are reading. Tune in to find out how to defend yourself against them and their dung throwing ways. Please enjoy our 3rd co-host of the ep, Gordo, who makes his presence (and displeasure) known multiple times throughout the ep. Donate on patreon so we can set up a Gordo cam, both his cuteness and distraction levels are off the charts, you have no idea what we have to put up with lol. Darkcast spotlight is Famous Last Words!
What do our final words say about the condition of our hearts? In this Easter episode of Hope for the Caregiver, I explore the last recorded words of public figures, saints, and martyrs—from David Cassidy to Dietrich Bonhoeffer—and what they reveal about fear, faith, and eternity. I also share personal moments from the hospital during Gracie's 94th surgery—where suffering, humor, and holy ground often meet. From elevator conversations to bedside worship, this is a reflection on what it means to be present, to see people as they are, and to live anchored in the redemptive power of Christ. We talk about the weight of Easter, the legacy of words, and how a caregiver's perspective can sharpen our focus on what truly matters. In a world full of noise, maybe the most powerful thing we can do is speak hope, listen carefully, and live in such a way that our words echo something eternal.

In this sermon we continue our series looking at the seven things Jesus says from the cross before he dies. We look at the fourth thing Jesus says from the cross, which is a prayer about his being forsaken. We consider what forsakenness has to do with the God, why it's important Jesus says this from the cross, why it also has to do with us in our sinfulness, and how it's a reminder that God is always with us.

As Joshua nears the end of his journey, he delivers a passionate challenge to Israel: Don't miss out on God's promises! Don't wander in unbelief! Instead, cling to the Lord, incline your heart to His Word, love Him fully, and serve Him faithfully. His words echo throughout Scripture, reminding us of Hebrews 10:23—hold fast to hope, because God is faithful. No matter what comes, no matter what others choose, may we boldly declare: “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord!”
