Hey there, Manana No Mas! fans! We recently had a blast chatting with Derek Ashauer, a WordPress wizard with over two decades of web-building magic under his belt. In our latest podcast episode, Derek spilled the beans on his game-changing plugin, Conversion Bridge, and shared some golden nuggets about thriving in the WordPress ecosystem. Buckle up for the highlights! Derek's brainchild, Conversion Bridge, is like a Swiss Army knife for analytics and ad tracking. Supporting 16 analytics platforms, 8 ad platforms, and a whopping 58 plugins (with more on the way!), It's a one-stop shop for agencies juggling diverse client needs. Whether it's Google Analytics, Fathom, or Reddit ads, this plugin simplifies conversion tracking for e-commerce, forms, and memberships, saving you from the headache of piecing together multiple tools. Derek's mission? To make your life easier by replacing a tangle of pricey plugins with one sleek solution. The convo got real when Derek dished on the struggles of GA4's confusing dashboards and the rise of privacy-focused analytics platforms. He explained how Conversion Bridge empowers agencies to track what *really* matters—form submissions, purchases, and button clicks—without drowning in data. Plus, it's a game-changer for agencies looking to prove their worth with hard numbers, like “Hey, our redesign boosted conversions by 27%!” Talk about a portfolio glow-up! We also dove into the WordPress community, where Derek's a relative newbie but already reaping the rewards of connection. From meeting industry bigwigs to swapping ideas with fellow developers, he's found a supportive network that's helped him grow his products and dodge the “one-man show” blues.

Harnessing MCPs for Automation: Revolutionizing Amazon Seller Workflows Episode Overview In this episode, Danny McMillan and Leo Automations explore the transformative potential of MCPs  for Amazon sellers. They discuss how these tools can streamline workflows, enhance productivity, and ultimately drive business growth by automating mundane tasks. This episode explores automation in amazon selling, efficiency through mcp integration with practical insights for immediate implementation. Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard created by Anthropic in November 2024. Think of it as the USB-C port for AI applications. Before USB-C, every device needed its own cable—phone chargers, laptop chargers, headphones, all different. USB-C created one universal standard. MCP does the same thing for AI connections to business tools.

Scrappy ABM is all about practical playbooks that don't break the bank. In this special repurposed episode, host Mason Cosby shares his conversation from the Human-First AI Marketing Podcast by Avenue9 with Mike Montague.Together, they explore how account-based marketing is evolving in the age of AI. Mason breaks down his four-part framework—data, distribution, destination, and direction—and shows how artificial intelligence fits into each category. From identifying the best customers through firmographics and profitability reports, to analyzing transcripts with tools like Fathom, to training AI for authentic content creation, Mason highlights where AI helps and where it falls short.This conversation also emphasizes the irreplaceable role of human connection, the need for intentional strategy, and the importance of aligning marketing, sales, and customer success teams around best-fit accounts.

IN CLEAR FOCUS: Richard White, CEO of AI meeting assistant Fathom, discusses his counterintuitive marketing strategy that generated 70% of signups via word-of-mouth. Richard explains why he waited nearly five years to hire a marketer, focusing instead on creating "superfans" through a robust free product and exceptional customer delight. He shares why marketing is "rocket fuel" that can be disastrous without product-market fit and details the future of AI in transforming meeting productivity.

In this episode, we're joined by Richard White, founder of Fathom, the AI-powered meeting assistant that records, transcribes and summarises your video calls so you can focus on the conversation. Previously the founder of UserVoice, Richard brings deep experience in user-centric product design and has built Fathom into one of the fastest-growing tools in the productivity space.Stay tuned to hear Richard's insights on the early product decisions that drove Fathom's breakout growth, why their freemium model worked from day one, and how they engineered virality into the onboarding experience. We also dig into how to build AI products that people actually want to use, why storytelling matters even in a product-led company and how to stay focused on solving real problems in a rapidly evolving tech landscape.Richard's Advice:When launching a product, make sure it always works - not just some of the timeBe a target user yourself: what do I value?What feels like ‘magic' and appears to go beyond the possibleBuild things you yourself can and will useWord of mouth infinitely more valuable and trustworthy than, for example, an Amazon ‘review'When trying out what AI can do for your business be prepared to jettison ideas as you go - sometimes big onesUse humans for customer support; this is an area worth investing in FF&M enables you to own your own PR & produces podcasts.Recorded, edited & published by Juliet Fallowfield, 2024 MD & Founder of PR & Communications consultancy for startups Fallow, Field & Mason.  Email us at hello@fallowfieldmason.com or DM us on instagram @fallowfieldmason. FF&M recommends: LastPass the password-keeping site that syncs between devices.Google Workspace is brilliant for small businessesBuzzsprout podcast 'how to' & hosting directoryCanva has proved invaluable for creating all the social media assets and audio bites.MUSIC CREDIT Funk Game Loop by Kevin MacLeod.  Link &  LicenceText us your questions for future founders.

Juliette Murphy, CEO and co-founder of Floodmapp joins us to continue the coverage of how the geospatial industry is responding to the flood season. This is after an episode with Shelly Klose about True Flood Risk a couple of weeks ago. I should also highlight the episode on flood models with Fathom last year.Juliette describes the capacity of her company to perform operational impact based flood forecasting. This is about using live data feeds such as from measures of precipitation, flood gauges, earth observation to provide a more accurate, real time estimate of where inundation will occur. Due to these factors, it will be better than, for example in the US, FEMA's 100 year flood polygons from here.As such, she was able to give examples from the State of Queensland in Australia where the system was used by emergency responders to decide where to send door knocking crews and also rescue personnel. Products from the likes of First Street and Fathom will not be able to offer these real time directives on where to send first responders. This is because they are large scale risk models developed with variables like topography, climate and historical rainfall without real time data on rainfall in the moment. They cannot offer advice on where to evacuate people from, where emergency services should send boats and helicopters.We are privileged to hear from her as they are involved now in the Texas flood clean up. She emphasised that they offer services in forecasting, 'nowcasting' and 'postcasting'. It is of course helpful to have assistance in characterising the inundation extent after a flood. This helps with helping where to look for damage and the deceased, along with verifying the risk modelling work of the likes of FEMA, Fathom and First Street. But one is forced to wonder how things would have gone if this or a similar service was involved in forecasting and early warning system activation for the area around Camp Mystic in Texas.Speaking of which, it was good to have an expert like Juliette give her take on this viral post of mine in the moment as the implications of Camp Mystic spread across the internet. She had a simple directive - ‘by law … $USD8.7 billion has been spent just on [residential building] smoke alarms for fires… but what is the … investment in flood early warning systems? The economic damages from fire vs flood… it actually suggests that flood… is really far and above the cost … of fire. So I'd really like to see the expenditure on flood early warning systems reflect the risk. …if we're investing this much on fire then we really need an alert system in every community where people are at risk'. Emphasis mine. The analysis I proposed above is happening now. I face a very steep learning curve on cloud native geospatial tooling such as Wherobots but I am making progress with the help of Matt Forrest, Ryan Kmetz and Piergiorgio Roveda. The output will be a nationwide identification of the communities at risk. I look forward to Juliette's assessment of that analysis.

Why not buy a board game from our sponsors Kienda: kienda.co.uk/polyhedroncollider In Episode 171 of the Polyhedron Collider Cast, we blast off into space, dive into the depths, battle for ancient Greek supremacy, and try our luck at the slot machine of strategy—all in one beautifully unhinged episode. We kick things off with Jackpot: Set the Reel, coming to Kickstarter soon. This quick little card game promises to blend slot machines/fruit machines with strategic card play. Jackpot looks light, but is there enough game behind the glitter? We spin the reels and find out. And what the hell is a puggy! We then explore the depth in Fathom, an entry level board game about exploring the depths and cataloguing its divergent wildlife. Bac to the classics, well sort of, as we go in depth on Cyclades: Legendary Edition, the mythological area-control game full of gods, monsters, tactical auctions, and being a bigger dick than Zeus himself. Does it still hold up? And who summoned a Kraken again? And last of all we go to outer space in Transgalactica, a controversial game of going up tracks and colonising space. Expect the usual dose of board game insight, over analysis, mild nonsense, and just enough arguing to keep things interesting.

On today's show, we chat with two-time guest, Kevin Sorbo! Still beloved by audiences nationwide, “What If…” stars Kevin Sorbo, Kristy Swanson, John Ratzenberger, and Debby Ryan. Notably, “What If…” marks the first faith film for Jenkins and for Kevin Sorbo—an early signal of the impact Jenkins would later make on global faith audiences.  The story follows Ben Walker (Kevin Sorbo), a businessman who abandoned his faith. One day, Ben wakes up living the life he was destined for—married to his college sweetheart (Kristy Swanson) and serving as a small-town pastor. Featuring memorable performances by John Ratzenberger and Debby Ryan, the film blends humor, heart, and a powerful family theme.  “Before ‘The Chosen,' this was the project that changed everything for me. ‘What If…' helped me realize the kinds of stories I want to tell,” said director Dallas Jenkins. “To this day I hear from people who loved it, so I was thrilled to reconnect with the cast so we could bring back this movie to a new audience.”  “Dallas Jenkins is a true visionary, and‘What If…' is where it all began, Fifteen years later – and after all of the profound success Fathom Entertainment accomplished with Dallas and his team on ‘The Chosen' – this is a terrific opportunity to revisit ‘What If…' with a special Fathom presentation,” said Ray Nutt, CEO of Fathom Entertainment. “Audiences are going to be moved by this film all over again—and the new reunion footage makes it even more meaningful for audiences to see it all on the big screen.”Kevin Sorbo is a distinguished American actor, producer, and director, renowned for his iconic role as Hercules in Hercules: "The Legendary Journeys".  His compelling charisma and strength have captivated audiences globally, solidifying his status as a versatile talent in the entertainment industry.  Transitioning into faith-based cinema, Kevin has dedicated his career to producing and starring in films that champion Christian values and family unity.  His works, including "God's Not Dead" & Let "There Be Light", demonstrate that movies reflecting traditional values can achieve significant box office success, inspiring and uplifting audiences www.fathomentertainment.com/releases/what-if-15-anniversary/sorbostudios.com@christianmusicguyschristianmusicguys.com

BRING IRISH & CELTIC MUSIC TO THE WORLD FOR 20 YEARS On July 28, 2005, I released the very first episode of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. This was not my first podcast. There were four others that I released first. All of them are still available to this day. Though one podfaded. When I started, I was publishing the Celtic Music Magazine every week. I started podcasting to promote Celtic bands, but mostly I wanted to promote my own band, Brobdingnagian Bards. It was a new and exciting way to get my music heard. But something happened along the way. It became less and less about my band and more about how I could help bands be heard. And it worked. In fact, I featured a total of 79 Celtic bands in the months that followed in 2005. That includes Brobdingnagian Bards and my Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers project. Here are some of the bands who were featured. 1: Susan Hamlin, Three Quarter Ale, Dust Rhinos, Cluan, Fathom, The BorderCollies, Tara's Fire, Paul McKenna, Marc Gunn & The Dubliners' Tabby Cats, Brobdingnagian Bards 2: StoneRing, The Slip, Hugh Morrison, Caladh, MacTalla Mor, Lenahan, The Bloody Irish Boys, Vicki Swan & Jonny Dyer, Celtic Stone 3: The Barley Boys, Contea, Queen's Gambit, Highland Fling, Michael Murphy and the River Shannon Band, Amadan, Raymond McCullough, Bow Triplets, The Rogues 4: The Irish Experience, Cairde na Gael, The Black Irish, Avalon Rising, Heather Gilmer and Jeff Moore, Sarah Dinan, Bedlam Bards, Emerald Rose, Kristen Roger, Heather Dale, Serious Kitchen, Empty Hats 5: Rise, Ed Miller, Tullamore, Paisley Close, Cantiga, Thomas "Doc" Grauzer, Cady Finlayson, Rimbo, Don Grieve, Black 47 6: Moch Pryderi, Enter the Haggis, The Patched Hats, Seelie Court, Eric Benson with The Boatrights, Ali Benson, 3 Pints Gone, Sligo Rags, Angel's Share 7: The Tea Merchants, Keltic Kaleidoscope, Brothers 3, EJ Jones, Shays Rebellion, Marc Gunn 8: Niamh Parsons, Flook, Willie McCulloch, Gan Fidil, Pol Mac Adaim, The Elders 9: Tears for Beers, Clandestine, Stonering, Athas, Carl Peterson You can see the full list on the website. Many of these artists are no longer performing. What's more interesting is that about a quarter of these artists are still making new music to this day. Today, I will highlight some of the amazing Celtic bands that are still performing after 15 - 20 years. I started my list with three perennial favorites of mine who've been on the show for a long time and are still performing: Poitin, Ed Miller, and The Gothard Sisters. Admittedly, The Gothard Sisters were a late addition to the show, coming on in 2010. But of all the bands, they are to me a shining beacon of this podcast. Because you can see them grow and develop as musicians and songwriters over the course of this show. So I had to include them. THANK YOU PATRONS OF THE PODCAST!

Dr. Gillian Hadfield from Johns Hopkins University and Andrew Freedman from Fathom discuss their innovative proposal to govern AI through private regulatory markets, which has been introduced as California's SB 813. Their system would separate democratic goal-setting from technical rule-making by having government bodies articulate safety outcomes while competitive private certifiers develop and enforce detailed standards, with companies receiving liability protection for compliance. The conversation explores how this market-based approach could create a "race to the top" in AI safety standards while remaining agile enough to keep pace with rapid technological development. Key challenges discussed include preventing a race to the bottom among certifiers, liability law interactions, and identifying qualified organizations to serve as effective private regulators.

At the beginning of the year I conducted an exhaustive review of all the #LAfires geospatial responses. This turned into a series of podcast episodes culminating in a discussion with Jamon van den Hoek. A theme was synthetic aperture radar (SAR) to detect building damage. There were some side quests related to near real time earth monitoring for commodities trading, key company profiled was Ursa Space. So now the floods are upon us. The Camp Mystic tragedy on 4th of July took the lives of 27 souls asleep in a summer camp lodge by Guadalupe River in Texas. Necessarily, I am conducting a review of useful geospatial products and services that help respond. I've already done this in a terrific episode with SwissRE, regarding a recent acquisition of theirs, Fathom. Fathom is a flood modeling company based in Bristol, UK. They were recently acquired by reinsurance heavyweight Swiss RE. Hence they are a welcome addition to the list of publicly traded companies profiled on this podcast. Gavin was precient in spending time discussion his team's flood modelling work across the US. Now we have an example in front of us about the consequences of ignoring them. Why? Shockingly, Camp Mystic managed to wrangle an exemption from the 100 year flood polygon and what that means for insurance and positioning buildings. Quoting from Wikipedia:“Between 2011 and 2020, FEMA re-shaped its Special Flood Hazard Area to exclude 30 camp buildings following appeals from the camp, possibly due to insurance or increased regulation concerns.[19] The Special Flood Hazard Area marks the region most at risk for once-in-a-century floods. In 2025, at least 12 camp structures were considered to be within the Special Flood Hazard Area, with more being partially within the area.[19]”[19] https://www.cnn.com/2025/07/12/us/texas-flooding-fema-flood-map-camp-mystic Starkly speaking, humans have a terrible history of adjusting safety behaviour through loss of life. I know this from myriad examples during engineering projects in several countries in a career since 2011. The number of stories I have heard leaders tell of lives lost on the job during project kick off to cause adherence to safety standards is almost at a level of desensitization. So, here we are, more lives lost, including 20 or so innocent young girls on a summer camp. So, it is time to consider what our discipline can do, which is a hell of a lot. We can attend to for example True Flood Risk, the topic of this episode. It is an inspirational story of entrepreneurship based on someone barely avoiding flood damage to their home. This is because the ground floor height of the founder's home was just higher than the neighbour's. The neighbour got flooded, her house did not. Based on this simple observation, a measurement idea emerged and it has ballooned into a business from there. The usual insurance service is there. A great story. Listen in. Another outcome of this tragedy is this viral LinkedIn post of mine. I said: "I mean it's time for our discipline to get to work. This type of analysis can be done at nation scale immediately and Overture Maps Foundation's building footprints used to detect which people are next in the firing line. An LLM connected to the pipeline could then automatically write political and media campaign material and strategies to pressure funding out of governments. ⚙️

A story about choosing technical battles that create unbeatable unit economics—while competitors bleed money.This episode is for SaaS founders tired of chasing short-term monetization—and wondering if there's a smarter way to build something customers actually fight to keep.Most SaaS companies fail because they take technical shortcuts.They outsource infrastructure to move fast, then discover they can't compete on price.Richard White, CEO of Fathom, took a different path. He's the inventor of the feedback tab and builder of UserVoice before founding Fathom in 2020. White spent two years building infrastructure that competitors shortcut with expensive third-party services—creating an economic moat that lets him "bully competitors" out of the market.And this inspired me to invite Richard to my podcast. We explore how building instead of buying infrastructure creates economic warfare advantages. Richard shares insights about choosing technical battles that matter, why he'd rather have angry customers than apathetic ones, and his "external validation addiction" that drives breakthrough products. You'll discover how owning your full stack lets you set pricing rules that competitors can't match.We also zoom in on two of the 10 traits that define remarkable software companies: – They don't create customers—they create fans – They focus on the essenceRichard's story is proof that traction often starts by doing what most others avoid.Here's one of Richard's quotes that captures his contrarian philosophy:"We're the only people that run all of our own infrastructure outside of the LLMs, and that allows us a huge advantage economically, because our costs are so much lower than everyone else, which allows us to basically bully all the other competitors by setting the bar for what you can do on free."By listening to this episode, you'll learn:Why building infrastructure beats buying third-party servicesWhat choosing technical battles strategically actually requiresWhen lower unit economics become competitive weaponsWhy economic moats trump feature moats every timeGuest InfoFor more information about the guest from this week: Guest: Richard White, CEO of FathomWebsite: https://fathom.video

On this episode of the podcast, Texas Land Commisioner Dawn Buckingham discussed the devastating floods in Texas, highlighting the area's vulnerability to flash floods and the unprecedented water levels that caused significant destruction. Dr. Buckingham noted the loss of 94 lives across six counties, with 75 in Kerr County and 27 at Camp Mystic. She praised the community's resilience and the efforts of first responders. Dr. Buckingham and Amanda Head also briefly touch on the reduction in illegal border crossings from 95-99% due to improved federal policies and the importance of community support, exemplified by local companies like H-E-B.You can follow the Land Commissioner on X (formerly Twitter) by searching for her handle: DrBuckinghamTX.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Josh and Drusilla discuss another one of Dario Argento's giallo classics, Tenebrae. From wiki: “Tenebrae (lit. '"darkness"', also known as Tenebre) is a 1982 Italian giallo[2][3][4][5] film written and directed by Dario Argento. The film stars Anthony Franciosa as American author Peter Neal, who – while in Rome promoting his latest murder-mystery novel – becomes embroiled in the search for a serial killer who may have been inspired to kill by his novel. John Saxon and Daria Nicolodi co-star as Neal's agent and assistant respectively, while Giuliano Gemma and Carola Stagnaro appear as detectives investigating the murders. John Steiner, Veronica Lario, and Mirella D'Angelo also feature in minor roles. The film has been described as exploring themes of dualism and sexual aberration, and has strong metafictional elements; some commentators consider Tenebrae to be a direct reaction by Argento to criticism of his previous work, most especially his depictions of murders of women.”Also discussed: Drusilla's new house, Russ Meyer, Logan Lucky, 28 Weeks Later, Cloverfield (2008), 10 Cloverfield Lane, Collateral Beauty, Deep Red, Suspiria, Fathom, and more. NEXT WEEK: Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person (2023)Bloodhaus:https://www.bloodhauspod.com/https://www.instagram.com/bloodhauspod/https://letterboxd.com/bloodhaus/Drusilla Adeline:https://www.sisterhydedesign.com/https://letterboxd.com/sisterhyde/‪@sisterhyde.bsky.social Joshua Conkelhttps://www.joshuaconkel.com/https://bsky.app/profile/joshuaconkel.bsky.socialhttps://www.instagram.com/joshua_conkel/https://letterboxd.com/JoshuaConkel/

How do you know if your idea for an online course is a good one? Today's session kicks off a three-part series about online courses and how to build a sustainable online course as a therapist. The most common question I get is about ideas for online courses. If you've thought about launching an online course but have some hesitancy, this episode will be helpful for you. I remember going through the dilemma of choosing course ideas and wondering which ones are good. It was overwhelming, but I found a way to determine if a course idea is good, and I'm sharing what I've learned. You'll Learn:The best course ideas aren't invented but are discovered in the questions your people are already asking.Three anchors for validating a good course idea:Your audience is already dropping clues.Pay attention to how you are seen as an expert.If someone asks you the same question three times or more, that's a signal.Validate before you build.Don't spend time creating slides without validating your idea.Put together a poll or Google form to get feedback. (Fathom.video is a helpful resource!)Don't chase what's trending; choose what's enduring.Ask, “Will this course idea still be relevant 10-15 years from now?”Use AI tools to gather information.If you're looking for a great free resource about your online course, check out our Course Creator Starter Kit.Resources:Interested in becoming part of our affiliate program?

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Rafi Arbel discuss:Persistence is a key element in long-term marketing and outreachThe impact of in-person networking on professional relationshipsBlending digital tools with personal follow-up strategiesSystem-building as a solution for scaling and stabilizing a business Key Takeaways:Attending legal trade shows and following up with structured CRM tools like HubSpot or even a spreadsheet is crucial for relationship-driven client acquisition.AI tools like Fathom are effectively used post-Zoom calls to generate meeting summaries, action items, and even tailored follow-up emails.A major operational failure—losing a key employee without SOPs—led to the implementation of structured daily team meetings and detailed task documentation using ClickUp and SweetProcess.Personalized outreach, such as sending curated articles based on someone's interests or social media activity, is a highly effective way to maintain engagement with referral sources. "The reason the water cuts through the rock is that it is a constant, constantly hitting it with small forces.
