In this edition of the PRovoke Media podcast, two senior leaders from one of Europe's fastest-growing agency groups join Maja Pawinska Sims to talk about the evolving landscape for strategic communications in complex times. Team Farner executive chairman Roman Geiser and Lansons CEO Gordon Tempest-Hay discuss the rapid growth of the consultancy across Europe, its acquisition of Lansons last year, and their ambitions and plans for the future. The duo also look at how creative work and AI are impacting on the remit and impact of reputation management firms, and how clients' needs from their comms advisors are changing, including during a pivotal election year.

Legendary all-American frontman and guitarist, Mark Farner, was the engine that pulled the original Grand Funk Railroad repeatedly to the top of the charts, and today he's a platinum recording artist 30 times over. At age 75, Farner commands the stage with the same intensity and outpouring of love as he did during the summer of '69 and his fans are still flocking to see “the Captain.” The rock patriot's synergy and open heart still come through in epic hits that defined a generation including— “I'm Your Captain” (Closer to Home)”  “We're An American Band” “Heartbreaker” “Bad Time To Be In Love” and recut covers of  “The Loco-Motion” and “Some Kind of Wonderful.”  Being viewed as a “Rockstar” is only one facet of the legacy of this Michigan-born son.   Mark is as real as they get: he's a husband, a father, and grandfather, and in his fourth decade of marriage to wife Lesia. He's a true family man. “Love is unconditional,” he explains. “Just like when you hold a baby, the love transfers. I feel that love from the audience when I'm on stage.” Farner, the rock patriot that he is, works tirelessly to honor our nation's service personnel and Veterans wherever they are stationed. He wants everyone to remember the huge sacrifices our men and women in the armed services freely give; all to protect our amazing country and freedoms. Some 50 years later something magical still happens when Farner takes the stage.  His voice is still strong and on key, his guitar playing still slick and lighting quick, and his trademark prancing still commands the stage and mesmerizes his audiences around the world. “I love playing live where I can connect with people of all backgrounds,” he said. “ It's all about the fans…and all about love.” At the age of 9 Farner accepted Jesus at his dad's wake and since then has been in hot porusuit of the love found only through the blood of Christ. He is unashamed of his faith and his passion, with 4 "God Rock" albums to his credit, his mission today is to share his passion for music adn his passion for Jesus with his hoards of fans around the world.      www.nukemhunting.com  www.taurususa.com www.cva.com www.citrusafe.com www.birddogcoffeebeans.com www.christianoutdoors.org

2023 was a busy year for M&A in the PR/comms industry. One of the most significant of these deals was announced in October when Lansons was acquired by Team Farner.   This episode of Waypointers sees Gordon Tempest-Hay, the CEO of Lansons telling Waypoint partner Jim Houghton the story behind the deal headlines and his and Farner's ambitions – “to become the European management consultancy for integrated communications”.  Farner might not be a well-known entity in the UK, but that's about to change. We also hear about Gordon's rather circuitous route into the comms industry by way of spending almost ten years trying to make it as a rock star (hint, he came very close!) Once in the industry, from working in-house at the DWP, Gordon moved agency side, taking up roles at some of its most notable businesses – Fishburn Hedges, Blue Rubicon, Teneo/Blue Rubicon and from 2022, Lansons.  At BR/Teneo, and then again when Lansons became part of Waterland backed Farner, he's had plenty of experience working with private equity investors.  He talks positively about the value they bring to a partnership and the support they have provided him in good times as well as bad.

In 1969, Mark Farner, along with Don Brewer (drums and vocals) and Mel Schacher (bass), formed the band Grand Funk Railroad.  They quickly gained recognition for their energetic, bluesy rock sound.  The band's name was a play on words, inspired by the Grand Trunk Western Railroad that ran through their hometown of Flint, Michigan.  Grand Funk Railroad achieved massive success in the early 1970s. Their music was characterized by a blend of rock, funk, and blues.  The band released a series of hit albums, including "On Time" (1969), "Grand Funk" (1970), "Closer to Home" (1970), and "E Pluribus Funk" (1971). These albums produced chart-topping singles such as "We're an American Band" and "Some Kind of Wonderful.”  Known for their high-energy live performances, Grand Funk Railroad played to large crowds and set attendance records, including a legendary performance at the Shea Stadium in New York City.  Their music resonated with the counterculture of the time and made them one of the most popular and commercially successful rock bands of the era.  In 1972, Mark Farner left Grand Funk Railroad due to creative and contractual disputes.  He embarked on a solo career, releasing albums like "Mark Farner" (1977) and "No Frills" (1978). He continued to tour and record as a solo artist while Grand Funk Railroad continued with a modified lineup.  Grand Funk Railroad reunited in various lineups over the years, with Mark Farner rejoining the band for several reunions.  Their music continued to be celebrated, and they received numerous accolades and honours for their contributions to rock music.  Farner's guitar work and powerful vocals remained iconic in the world of rock. Some 50 years later something magical still happens when Farner takes the stage.  His voice is still strong and on key, his guitar playing still slick and lighting quick, and his trademark prancing still commands the stage and mesmerizes his audiences around the world. “I love playing live where I can connect with people of all backgrounds,” he said. “ It's all about the fans…and all about love.” Mark is also known for his philanthropic work and his strong Christian faith, which has been a central part of his life.  This week MARK FARNER joins us to share his story and incredible music. To learn more about Mark head for his website https://markfarner.com/ To connect with me with feedback or a request for a future guest on the show, send me a message through my website https://abreathoffreshair.com.au/ I hope you enjoy Mark Farner's story.

Meghan is joined today by her husband, McKay, for this special episode! One of the observations we have made this year is how rare it is for spouses to be in lock-step on the spiritual path. Much more often, one spouse is ahead / behind the other. In this episode, the couple share their experiences throughout their relationship and how they have both relied on the Lord to create additional unity in their marriage. Topics include: - Respecting Our Spouse's Agency- Humility, Communication, and a Willingness to Change- Adjusting Our Perception of the Doctrine of Marriage and Sealing- Recognizing Personal Idols- Sacrifice and Letting the Lord into Your MarriageMckay Farner is originally from Colorado. He and Meghan dated in high school previous to his serving a mission in Bacolod Philippines. The two were engaged 5 days after he returned home, and were married three months later. Mckay graduated from Brigham Young University - Idaho with a degree in Communications, emphasis in Public Relations. He then went on to become a real estate agent serving the East Idaho region. He is currently a Seminary student teacher with the hope of being offered a full-time Seminary teaching job in 2023. He is a Priests Quorum Advisor and absolutely loves working with the young men. Mckay and Meghan have 3 adorable kiddos. The Latter-day Disciples team is excited to announce our Christmas service: The Secret Saviors Project! Our goal is to give you, our fellow disciples, the opportunity to serve as “saviours on Mount Zion” to the families and individuals our community knows, who are in need this holiday season. Here are two ways that you can participate: Nominate a Need: Submit the name(s) of individuals and families you know who could use a special blessing this holiday, whether that be in the form of cash, grocery money, gas money, Christmas gifts, medical expense coverage, or another need! Donate to the Secret Saviors Project Fund: Your humble offerings will allow the us to administer relief for many of our brothers and sisters in need. Our goal is to collect $2500 between now and December 18th, to serve 5 nominees in need.  To participate, please go to the Secret Saviors Project page on our website. 

EPISODE 75: As one of the founding members, lead singer, lead guitarist, and wrote more than 90% of the Grand Funk Railroad music catalog, Farner has always been known as the energetic driving force on stage, the engine that pulled the original Grand Funk Railroad to the top of the charts. From his soulful voice and power rock riffs, to fueling the Funk with his atomic stage presence. His story and his imprint on music starts with Flint and since 1969 from his humble beginnings and a blue-collar outlook, Farner has captained a global crusade for love, peace and freedom and became a rock ‘n' roll icon. Nearly 60 years later – he commands the stage with the same intensity performing epic hits that defined a generation – “I'm Your Captain (Closer to Home)”, “Bad Time”, “Some Kind of Wonderful”, “Foot Stompin' Music”, “Heartbreaker”, “Locomotion”, “Mean Mistreater” and “We're An American Band”. markfarner.comContact us: makingsoundpodcast.comFollow on Instagram: @makingsoundpodcastFollow on Twitter: @JannKloseBandJoin our Facebook GroupPlease support the show with a donation, thank you for listening!

He's a true family man.“I think our fans originally connected to our songs because we were sincere” Farner said. “My lyrics were about Mother Earth, stopping the war, and all about love. They still have a point of reference with me in their heart.”After the 1969 Atlantic Pop Festival put Grand Funk Railroad on the fast track, the band topped the Billboard Chart twice with both the anthem “We're an American Band” (1973) and 1974's “The Loco-Motion.” The Flint, Michigan trio reached the top 10 again with “Some Kind of Wonderful” (No. 3) and “Bad Time” (No. 4) before GFR disbanded for the first time in 1976. Farner briefly rejoined Grand Funk during the 1980s and 1990s and he has collaborated with many other artists over the years.  However, his focus has been to forge an enduring solo career based upon bringing his message of love to his fans in all corners of the world.“Love is unconditional,” he explains. “Just like when you hold a baby, the love transfers. I feel that love from the audience when I'm on stage.”The son of a World War II veteran, four-time bronze star recipient and career fireman, Farner also knows the importance of brotherhood and commitment. On his mother's side, he champions his Cherokee heritage and the fact that his mother was the first woman welder in the United States to weld on a tank during World War 2. It just so happened to be the same type of Sherman tanks his father drove. Farner's work on and off the stage is focused on honoring service personnel and veterans and offering support to American farmers, individuals with disabilities, and downtrodden populations.

Do most rock legends cheat on tour or is that simply a myth? Is it possible to resist the temptation of men and women who revere you for your talent and star power, then make themselves available to you as intermittent sex partners while you're on tour? The answer may surprise you. On today's show I welcome John Malkin, former MTV executive, lead singer of the rock band The Simple Radicals and a self professed rock aficionado. John shares some great stories about rock legends from the 80s, 90s and beyond who've cheated big time, and some who haven't been unfaithful at all. You'll hear about rock legend Mark Farner from Grand Funk (We're an American Band; Some Kind of Wonderful)— stories John first heard when he interviewed Farner on his podcast “Music and A Brew.” We'll also hear about Metallica in stories John culled from VH1s “Behind The Music.” In this episode we hear all this more, as we take a look at cheating and fidelity in the world of rock n' roll.

Veteran venture capital investor Pete Farner distills experience from four decades of entrepreneurship and investing on the Economics For Business Podcast #114. Passion, perseverance and intelligence are the three critical attributes he looks for in investable entrepreneurs, an insight drawn from a broad survey that we summarize here. Key Takeaways 1. The entrepreneurial mindset develops in youth. It is averse to the restrictions experienced on the subordinate levels of the corporate hierarchy. In an early experience that several E4B podcast guests have shared, Pete grew up in an entrepreneurial household and absorbed the approach. He created several independent job opportunities in high school and college, including house painting and taxi driving and trading classic cars. When he joined a corporation, he quickly understood that a life in the hierarchy requires you to do as exactly as ordered by superiors, an experience incompatible with the entrepreneurial mindset. In that brief corporate experience, Pete was able to observe that even the highest levels of the executive ladder are occupied by mere humans, with all their quirks and flaws, and not by superhumans. This observation can translate into the self-confidence of being able to tackle any business undertaking oneself. 2. Taking the entrepreneurial route is not risk-taking. In fact it's the opposite. Pete suggested that entrepreneurs are not risk-takers. They are, in fact, risk-averse. They typically do not take great personal risk or financial risk. If their business does not achieve the success they imagined, they seldom “lose all”, and their financial risk is often shared with others or syndicated in some way. Entrepreneurs deal with business uncertainty. They embrace it. They are comfortable with what Pete called the ambiguity of entrepreneurship. That's not risk. 3. Develop a knowledge space from which to begin your entrepreneurial journey. Pete's corporate experience was in the beer industry. That knowledge space included the use of neon signs for advertising and display purposes. He was also able to observe the use of etched mirrors in bars along with other forms of decoration and display such as sports memorabilia. He launched his first entrepreneurial venture with a technological improvement on the conventional (and also expensive and fragile) neon sign. He merged this venture with a mirror and sports memorabilia company to give it greater breadth and market penetration. His first investor was a beer company. We all curate a knowledge space as we go through life, and that space can provide the foundation for entrepreneurial initiative. 4. Entrepreneurial success lies on a time-and-place continuum. What are the determinants of success for an entrepreneurial business? For a venture capitalist who is financing the business, the appropriate metric is a sale to an acquirer, who validates the worth of the entrepreneurial initiative. Surveying his experience of such acquisitions, Pete emphasized the relevance of time and place: being in the right place at the right time. Acquirers are ready for their own reasons at their own time. He discussed the sale of Minute Clinic, a walk-in in-store clinic staffed by nurse practitioners, to the CVS drug store chain. Minute Clinics were under-developed and unprofitable on their own, but a great marketing device to drive traffic to CVS's highly profitable pharmacies. On the other hand, Webvan, one of the most spectacular venture-financed startup bankruptcies, was ahead of its time in 2001, but could have been a standout success in 2021. Business brilliance has a role to play in entrepreneurial success, but so do luck and timing. 5. Entrepreneurs widen and deepen their own knowledge space by making far and wide knowledge connections. Entrepreneurship is a knowledge process. One entrepreneur, one team, one firm can have only partial knowledge. There might be a surrounding network of investors and partners to supplement the available knowledge. Successful entrepreneurs reach further, making connections in as many directions and to as many knowledge sources as possible. Syndicated investments with a wide range of partners can yield a lot of knowledge sources. 6. Specialization must be balanced with a broad-based understanding of business. Differentiation can come from a specialized body of knowledge that the entrepreneur and partners bring to bear. In addition to this deep specialization, there must be a broad interest in starting, running, growing and managing a business. Entrepreneurs are T-shaped people — able to combine their specialist knowledge with boundary-crossing interest and capabilities in everything from accounting to HR to marketing, and especially the development of motivational purpose. 7. Personal qualities — and especially integrity — play an important role in success. In Pete's summary of success factors, “People are the real key”. As an investor, given the choice between a great business plan, a great idea, and a great person, “I'd choose the great person”. Integrity is a core attribute: the strength to go through growing pains, pivots, disappointments and adverse situations, and maintain belief. Certainly these personal qualities can be more important to success than what Pete called “pedigree” — the degree from the right school, or the resume with the right corporations, or the well-credentialed board of directors. 8. Different personal qualities are appropriate for different stages of the entrepreneurial journey. Pete observed that it is rare that the same individual who launches a business or manages it in its earliest formative stages is the same one to manage it to and through maturity. From start up to 8- or 9-figure revenues is a difficult transition for most people to make. It requires both decentralization of decision making and rigorous, detailed and disciplined operational management that are not always the strengths of originating entrepreneurs. Nevertheless, the founder's continued presence — in a significant role, not just a symbolic one — is a very important factor in the maintenance of mission and purpose for a young firm. 9. Revenue is king, especially when efficiently generated. Revenue is the most important indicator of marketplace acceptance for an entrepreneurial service — proof that customers will buy what the business is selling. It's a harbinger for the future: if there is a revenue stream, it can be grown. Revenue — assuming cash flow is well managed — is the guarantor against the worst sin of entrepreneurial businesses, which is running out of cash. Austrians know that the value of capital is the NPV of the flow of customer revenue it generates. Venture capitalists respect capital efficiency — a high ratio of revenue to capital. 10. Empathic customer understanding underpins revenue generation and capital efficiency. It is the deep understanding of the customer and market that ultimately is the key to revenue generation. Pete talked about the medical device market where a misunderstanding of the incentives for surgeons — that they might not adopt a superior-performing device if they don't make as much money using it as they do with the incumbent device — as an example of the battles that have to be fought and won for market acceptance, and might be lost with poor customer understanding. Revenue generation is the primary indicator of customer understanding at work. Additional Resource "10 Attributes of Investable Entrepreneurs and Businesses" (PDF): Mises.org/E4B_114_PDF

This June marked the 50th anniversary of GFR's "I'm Your Captain (Closer To Home)," a song that sits alongside massive hits such as, "Some Kind Of Wonderful," "Foot Stompin' Music," "Heartbreaker," "Locomotion," "We're An American Band," and others. Farner talks to Buddy Iahn and Matt Bailey about the impact of "I'm Your Captain," his legacy, and Mark Farner's American Band, the banner he's now touring as. He also gives us his strong opinions on a Grand Funk reunion. Check out our other Podcasts! Subscribe to us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify Podcasts, TuneIn and YouTube.

In the past, Communications was largely media relations and speechwriting. While technology has helped make our function more strategic and impactful, we are on the cusp of a major transformation of how it works - what our teams look like, the roles it includes, the skills it requires, and the ways it operates. On this edition of The New CCO, we discuss the emerging notion of CommTech with one of its pioneers, Daniel Jörg, Head of Digital Marketing & Research at Farner Consulting in Zurich. Daniel has spent the last 20 years taking the Communications function through a period of technological experimentation that has resulted in what he views as the function of the future. He walks us through his journey, what he's learned along the way, and how his team is blending new tech with new ways of working to drive real business outcomes.
