For our final story of the week focusing on community news, The Fledge: how one Lansing community center is helping break the cycle of poverty.

Summary In this episode, Garth Nichols and Jason Rogers discuss the critical importance of student wellbeing and mental health in education with Jenna Galloway, founder of Fledge. They explore innovative approaches to teaching mental health skills to children, the integration of technology in education, and the personal journey that led Jenna to create Fledge. The conversation emphasizes the role of parents and educators in supporting children's mental health and the importance of resilience and connection in leadership. https://www.fledge.health Takeaways The mental health challenges facing students today are unprecedented.

Time for a Newsroom summarizing everything that's happened in our usual areas of focus, although we are dropping the last two (Zero-Party Data and Future of media) this time around.  ePrivacy & Regulatory Updates Enforcement On September 5th, the CNIL fined CEGEDIM SANTÉ 800,000 euros for processing health data without authorization. The healthcare software provider collected sensitive personal information, assigning a unique identifier for each patient of the same doctor. This method was considered sufficient to ensure that personal data remained anonymous in order to put together certain comparative studies, but the CNIL concluded that, given the risk of re-identification, it could merely be considered pseudonymized, exposing a breach of the GDPR as a result (for starters, patients had not been informed of additional purposes). A Reference was made to the EDPB's Opinion 05/2014 on Anonymisation Techniques.  On September 27th The Irish DPC issued a 91 million euro fine to Meta for storing certain user passwords in plain text files.  On October 22nd, NOYB filed a claim against Pinterest before the French supervisory authority alleging that the company relies on legitimate interest to underpin its behavioral advertising practices, in contravention of the CJEU Bundeskartellamt decision. The social network has also been accused of breaching the transparency principle and not responding to data subject requests appropriately.  On October 24th, the Irish DPC imposed a 310m EUR fine on LinkedIn. The professional social network is not properly applying a valid legal basis for targeted ads and the processing of first party data about their members, despite referring to three separate grounds: consent, legitimate interest and contractual necessity. This has also resulted in a breach of the fairness principle. On October 30th, the California Privacy Protection Agency announced an investigative sweep of data broker registration compliance under the Delete Act. This law requires data brokers to register with the CPPA and pay a fee annually.  On November 6th, the Canadian government ordered the closure of TikTok in the country. Citizens are however allowed to keep using the app, as this is considered a personal choice.  Legal updates and guidelines On October 4th, the CJEU resolved a famous dispute between the Royal Dutch Lawn Tennis Association and the Dutch DPA. The latter had imposed a fine on KNLTB for relying on legitimate interest for sharing data with its sponsors for purposes of direct marketing. Five days later, the EDPB requested comments on its draft Opinion on processing data on the basis of Legitimate Interest: It is made clear that this legal basis should not be treated as a “last resort” as it is of equal value to the rest, and a differentiation is made between an interest (or broader benefit that a controller may have) and a purpose (or specific reason why the data is processed). The Opinion has also stated that an interest must be related to the data controller's activities. On the same day (October 9th), the EDPB adopted its Opinion 22/2024 on certain obligations following from the reliance on processors and sub-processors: every controller should extend the diligence they currently have over direct processors to the entire chain of custody, no matter how many degrees apart.  On October 16th, the EDPB adopted new Guidelines on the technical scope of article 5.3 of the ePrivacy Directive: given that very little has changed since they opened up an initial draft for comments, we recorded a separate episode with Peter Craddock pondering the far reaching implications of these Guidelines.  Turning our attention to the UK, on October 7th the UK ICO launched its own Data Protection Audit Framework including self-assessment toolkits and other practical resources.  Also, the UK Data Protection reform is back, now with a Data Use and Access Bill (with a second reading announced on November 1st). It maintains an exception for analytics cookies that will not require consent. DPOs are back on the table (the previous reform proposal was getting rid of the role).  On November 5th EDPB adopted its first report under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and a statement on the recommendations on access to data for law enforcement. The redress mechanism has been implemented successfully but it is yet not being widely used. The EDPB has voiced concerns about recent changes to Section 702 FISA and how that could expand the role of private companies in gathering data about EU citizens.  MarTech and AdTech On November 12th, Meta introduced a plan C to its Pay or Consent models, having been told by the EDPB that the current proposal would not be acceptable. A third option (besides paying and relying on behavioral ads) is now available which will use less data and remain mostly contextual. It will also compensate its decreased targeting capabilities with increased audience reach by showing ads (“ad breaks”) that become unskippable for a few seconds. A study conducted by Boston University has concluded that the Protected Audiences API (building on the formerly called FLEDGE protocol, a part of Chrome's Privacy Sandbox), can produce similar results to those of third party cookies in the context of retargeting campaigns.  On November 5th, David Raab, who back in the day had coined the label CDP (Customer Data Platform), published a provocative piece titled “The Composable CDP is Dead”. In summary the author argues that all CDPs have already caught up with the modularization that came from sitting on top of more flexible data warehouses, so every single CDP has either become a niche modular component or an all-encompassing, highly-modularized software suite. In sum, the term will not help a Hightouch differentiate itself uniquely any longer. We suggest that you listen to our interviews with Tejas Manohar and Jonathan Mendez, CEOs of Hightouch and Neuralift AI respectively, for further context.  AI, Competition and Digital Markets The community is still recovering from Hamburg's DPA's opinion (adopted on July 15th) stating that LLMs do not contain personal data. The supervisory authority made three key points that we will be covering with some future guests: a) No personal data is stored in LLMs; b) Data subject rights as defined in the GDPR cannot relate to the model itself, but they can be exercised against the provider or deployer of a system built on top of such models, with regards to the input or output of such system; c) The training of LLMs using personal data must comply with data protection regulations.  The Irish DPC announced an investigation into Google's foundational AI model (PaLM 2) on September 12th, with a focus on the DPIA that Google is expected to have undertaken.  An ICO report released on November 8th found that AI recruitment technologies can filter candidates according to protected characteristics including race, gender, and sexual orientation. On November 13th, Meta received an 800,000 EUR fine for anti-competitive practices in the bundling of its Marketplace feature with the primary Facebook application. So, they have leveraged their control over one market to take control of another, adjacent market, in this case threatening pretty large companies in the classified ads space. That's it for today! Thanks again for listening.  

We've had Jerry Norris from The Fledge in Lansing on the show a number of times, but in this episode we get to discuss a new endeavor which will greatly expand the educational opportunities of those engaged at the Fledge, the purchase of Urbandale Farms. Jerry is back to discuss this bold new step!

Opt-in rates since ATT started around 20% but have gone up over time. I think this has gone up to around 40% consent across the app ecosystem.”(10:15-10:46) “In the end, the idea behind the Protected Audiences API is that we can manage cohorts of users that you would want to perhaps re-engage later on the device. So every user can be registered within their own device to different cohorts, which can later be accessed by targeting ad networks on different publishers – and all of it without sharing a single identifier across the web.”(11:46-12:18) “Apple only took care of measurement, which is SKAN 4.0. AdAttributionKit is just an advancement of the measurement use cases. There is no remarketing solution by iOS. One can only hope. And actually, they did introduce retargeting measurement with AdAttributionKit, which might give us a little bit of hope that retargeting tools are to follow.” Mentioned in this Episode:Roy Yanai's LinkedInAppsFlyerEp183 Pioneering on-device bidding for the Android Privacy Sandbox (Google, Verve Group, Remerge)

Usually, they'll sit back and say, “Well, if only this existed, we could solve this problem. If only that existed, we could solve this problem.” I'm one of those people who does sit around and say, “if only.” And then I go make it happen.In today's episode of Superpowers for Good, I had the pleasure of welcoming back a dear friend and visionary entrepreneur, Luni Libes, the CEO of Africa Eats. Luni is not only an inspiring leader but also a key investor in the super crowd. His innovative company, Africa Eats, is on a mission to end hunger and poverty in Africa through a unique for-profit model, currently crowdfunding on WeFunder.Luni shared the story of how Africa Eats operates differently from traditional non-profits and government initiatives. "We're jumping in as a for-profit company to lower hunger and to literally pull people out of poverty," Luni explained. This approach allows Africa Eats to scale its impact sustainably and efficiently.The company has invested in over 20 enterprises across Africa, focusing on enhancing the food and agriculture supply chain. Luni highlighted how Africa Eats supports small-scale farmers by aggregating their produce and selling processed food in urban markets, thereby doubling the farmers' incomes. "We've seen it grow from a few hundred farmers to thousands of farmers," Luni shared, illustrating the substantial growth and potential of these ventures.One of the most compelling aspects of Africa Eats is its commitment to reducing food loss. By managing the supply chain professionally, the company cuts down food loss from the typical 30-40% to just 5-6%, making a significant impact on both food security and economic savings for the continent.Luni's vision extends beyond just a few companies. He envisions replicating this model across sub-Saharan Africa, empowering more entrepreneurs and scaling operations to new heights. "We could replicate this. We can either bring this company to the next country over or find another entrepreneur in another part of the continent that wants to do the same thing," Luni said, underscoring the vast potential for growth.The journey of Africa Eats is a testament to the power of combining profit with purpose. As Luni confirmed, "When you are doing good profitably, the good becomes infinite."Watch all of today's episode to hear more about Africa Eats' transformative work and how you can be part of this incredible mission.Tl;dr:Introduction of Luni Libes and Africa Eats:* Luni Libes is an investor and recurring guest on the show, currently involved in a crowdfunding campaign on WeFunder for Africa Eats, a company he founded to combat hunger and poverty in Africa.Mission and Approach of Africa Eats:* Africa Eats operates as a for-profit investment company, supporting over 20 companies in Africa's food and agriculture supply chain. By purchasing from small farmers and reducing food loss, they increase farmer incomes and save costs on food imports.Success and Impact:* Since its inception, Africa Eats has significantly grown its portfolio companies, demonstrating substantial increases in revenue and farmer support. For example, Peniel Meat Processing in Rwanda grew from $30,000 to over a million dollars in revenue, becoming a major chicken processor.Funding Strategy:* Africa Eats combines traditional funding from accredited investors with crowdfunding campaigns to democratize investment opportunities. The goal is to eventually make Africa Eats a public company, allowing widespread participation in its growth and impact.Luni Libes' Superpower and Vision:* Luni's "if only" superpower involves identifying unmet needs and making them a reality. He emphasizes the importance of networking, having built a network of over 21,000 contacts to support his ventures. His next goal is to establish market makers in Africa to enhance liquidity and capital market functionality. ​How to Develop “If Only” As a SuperpowerLuni's superpower is his ability to take ideas that begin with "if only" and turn them into reality. Rather than waiting for others to solve problems, he identifies needs and takes action to address them, creating impactful solutions.Luni noticed that African stock markets lacked market makers, which are crucial for liquidity and efficient trading. Seeing this gap, he founded the first market maker in Mauritius, developed a business plan, secured funding, and built the necessary technology. This initiative addressed a critical need and demonstrated his proactive approach to solving problems that others overlook.Tips for Developing the Superpower:* Identify Needs: Constantly look for gaps and unmet needs in your environment.* Take Initiative: Don't wait for others to act; take the first steps to address the problems you see.* Network Extensively: Build a broad network of contacts and maintain those relationships. This can help you find resources and support when needed.* Document Contacts: Keep a detailed record of people you meet and reach out to them when you need advice or assistance.* Embrace Entrepreneurship: Be willing to start new ventures and projects, even if they seem daunting.* Hire Strategically: Hire individuals who can manage day-to-day operations, allowing you to focus on big-picture visionary work.* Push Beyond Comfort Zones: Even if you're an introvert, push yourself to meet new people and expand your network.By following Luni's example and advice, you can make "if only" a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

"When I first think of Spring, I instantly hear birdsong filling the garden and woodlands, evoking a sense of renewal and rebirth. It also has as certain therapeutic quality giving me a feeling of relaxation and calm. When I heard the ‘Melody of Birds' recording, I had a sense of the birds being engaged in conversation and wondered what they might be discussing.  "Of course, Spring is the time when chicks hatch and fledge which got me thinking about what parent birds might say to their young to encourage them to leave, whilst at the same time becoming saddened because of the inevitability of an eventual empty nest.  "I wanted ‘Fledge My Child' to reflect this conversation, presenting the piece as a secular hymn representing that moment of leaving from the point of view of the parent bird.  "The lyrics attempt to mirror the birdsong as if directly translated, each verse representing a stage in that process of leaving; from teaching, encouraging, loving farewells and finally being left bereft and childless, yet overjoyed that the chicks have successfully grown and fledged."   Birds in Pat Busch Reserve, South Africa reimagined by Simon Holmes.

Staying on top of Apple and Google's ongoing policy changes to app tracking and user privacy is a business imperative for advertisers and essential for the future of the mobile marketing industry. It's also been Allison Schiff's job. As a journalist, she has covered privacy topics in the marketing technology field for over a decade. In this episode, Allison shares her views on how the mobile advertising industry received Apple's ATT framework, what Apple is doing now, and how Google has approached the Android Privacy Sandbox rollout. Catch up on the last few years of mobile privacy, and find out how to prepare for what's ahead.Allison Schiff is the managing editor of AdExchanger, a leading source for news, analysis, and events dedicated to the data-driven marketing technology industry. As a journalist in the space, Allison primarily covers privacy topics, measurement, attribution, and retail media. She is also the host of the AdExchanger podcast, AdExchanger Talks.Questions Allison Answered in this Episode:How do you stay informed on policy changes with privacy? Why is this shift in privacy happening?What is Apple's App Tracking Transparency framework? And how does it work?Have you heard any theories about Apple changing the way they are rolling out ATT and doing measurement?How would you describe Google Privacy Sandbox?

It comes up daily. Even stories that I'm writing or that my colleagues are writing that aren't ostensibly about privacy, you really have to address it anyway.”(26:46) “The main APIs being worked on [by Android Privacy Sandbox], or maybe incubated is the right word, are topics, protected audience, which used to be Fledge, and there's an attribution API, and those are all mobile app versions of the APIs that are also in the Chrome Privacy Sandbox. So, topics for basic targeting without cross-app identifiers, protected audience for remarketing, and the attribution APIs are obviously for attribution. And then there's this other API that's unique to Android, which is SDK run time.”(32:56-33:06) “The best question that I ever ask when I'm interviewing someone is to explain whatever it is as if I'm five. Even if I think I know, I learn every time.” Mentioned in this episode:Allison Schiff's LinkedInAdExchangerAdExchanger Talks

Known by many names – sprig, pinny, bull – but unmistakable in appearance, the northern pintail is one of North America's most recognizable, graceful, and well-studied duck species. Unfortunately, much of that attention was garnered because of dramatic population declines and the mystery surrounding it. Dr. Scott Stephens joins Chris Jennings and Dr. Mike Brasher to profile this iconic species, discussing its ecology, population status, causes of its decline, and conservation opportunities.www.ducks.org/DUPodcast

In this episode, you'll hear the latest news about Google's Privacy Sandbox on Android –  straight from the source. Pan Katsukis, the co-founder and CEO of Remerge, sits down with Amit Varia, Director of Product Management at Google, and Niv Klein, Product Team Lead at AppsFlyer, to unpack how the Privacy Sandbox will change the future of mobile advertising on Android. Find out how attribution, retargeting, and user acquisition can be done with the Protected Audience API, learn how it limits the sharing of user data with third parties, and find out how it operates without cross-app identifiers like advertising IDs. You'll also get advice on what app businesses can do to prepare for the upcoming changes, why this is happening now, and what opportunities are to be expected from the privacy-safe future of advertising.Questions Amit and Niv Answered in this Episode:What is Google's Privacy Sandbox?Why is this shift happening now?Do you see other advantages to the new framework compared to where we are right now?How will Google advertising IDs change?How are attribution and retargeting being done in the Protected Audience API environment?How can we get everyone in the app ecosystem onboard?Is there anything app developers should be doing right now?What is the thinking behind the timeline to launch Android Privacy Sandbox?What is the vision of what app advertising will look like in five years?Timestamp:3:05 What is Android Privacy Sandbox?4:25 Why the shift in advertising privacy8:15 Current use of Google advertising IDs11:21 Protected Audience API (formerly Fledge)14:22 How will attribution be done17:09 Changes in retargeting mechanisms18:55 Changes in user acquisition20:40 TEEs: Trusted Execution Environments23:02 SDK run time25:10 Getting the app industry on board33:34 Steps app developers can take now36:11 Preparing for the release of Android Privacy Sandbox38:52 The vision of privacy-safe advertisingQuotes:(4:00-4:11) Amit Varia: “I'd love for everyone to think of these technologies as building blocks that app developers and ad tech companies can use to build their private advertising solutions.”(4:52-5:05) Amit Varia: “Users are becoming more aware of how valuable their own data is, how it's being collected, and how it's being used. As a result, we're seeing people demand more transparency and control over their data, especially when it comes to online advertising.”(14:45-15:23) Niv Klein: “Generally speaking, the main move in attribution is from device-level reporting to aggregated reports. So, a bit similar to what we experienced in iOS, but the difference is that we'll have a designated attribution API on the Android Privacy Sandbox that will allow for both aggregated reports—according to very flexible aggregation data levels—and event-level reports to communicate events at the click ID to the partner ad networks.” Mentioned in this Episode:Amit Varia's LinkedInNiv Klein's LinkedInPan Katsukis's LinkedInResource: developer.android.com

Devin: What is your superpower?Luni: I can see paradigms. Most people, they live inside paradigms, and they don't notice.“Most people in Africa are farmers, and they're poor not because they're uneducated or any less intelligent than anyone else,” says Africa Eats founder and CEO Luni Libes. “They're poor because no one buys their outputs. No one is buying what they're growing.”As an investor, Luni saw an opportunity to simultaneously address hunger and poverty in Africa while helping African entrepreneurs to grow and succeed.“We just set it up so that we have companies that buy the outputs of these farmers—that and treat that food well,” Luni says. “That solves the post-harvest losses, and these farmers have an income.”“Hate to say, ‘voila, that's everything,' but that is 90 percent of the problem solved,” he says.There is mounting evidence that the holding company model he's created for investing in the companies is working.Before launching Africa Eats in 2020, the 2019 revenue for the companies was just under $7 million for the full year. The companies generated as much in the first quarter of 2023, suggesting the combined revenue has quadrupled.The biggest of the companies is East Africa Foods, which garnered an investment from Luni's accelerator, Fledge, in 2014. At the time, the company had just $100,000 in revenue. Last year, he says, revenues reached $10 million, up 100-fold in a decade.All of the companies in Africa Eats participated in Fledge and garnered investments.Luni credits a unique superpower for the impact he's leading. He has the unusual ability to see the paradigms in which we operate. Most of us ignore or take for granted much of the context in which we live and work.AI Podcast Summary1. Africa Eats is a holding company that supports African-led agricultural enterprises.2. The company buys the outputs of smallholder farmers and sells them to retailers.3. The goal is to solve hunger and poverty in Africa through for-profit companies.4. Africa Eats works with companies that solve the problem of post-harvest losses and buy the farmers' outputs.5. The company has seen a four-time increase in revenue since 2019 and now works with 114,000 farmers.6. Africa Eats has grown companies like East Africa Foods and Hervé's ag logistics company in Rwanda.7. The creation of a food and ag logistics fleet is the first and only refrigerated trucking fleet in Rwanda; it has 14 trucks and growing.8. African-based entrepreneurs find it challenging to secure funding for their businesses.9. Africa Eats aims to become a public company listed on the London Stock Exchange, offering opportunities for shareholders.10. Luni Libes encourages those interested in investing in Africa Eats to visit their website or follow them on social media.How to Develop Seeing Paradigms As a SuperpowerLuni highlights the venture capital paradigm as an example of one he sees that others miss. VCs routinely say their top three investment considerations are “team, team and team.”Luni notes that isn't the truth. VCs only get to consider the team after they've determined the opportunity is both large enough and requires enough capital to warrant that.By seeing that paradigm and its flaws, Luni was able to see a way to use a different structure to create a financial opportunity and impact in Africa. He's investing in food and ag on a continent that most VCs avoid, and those that do participate often invest in tech.To help others, his students and the entrepreneurs who run the portfolio companies, he thinks of a lesson he learned while teaching at Bainbridge Graduate Institute (now Presidio). “In order to make change, you have to show there's a problem,” Luni says. “In order to show there's a problem, you have to show what the framework is.”By following Luni's example and advice, you can learn to see paradigms. With practice, you could make that a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world. Get full access to Superpowers for Good at devinthorpe.substack.com/subscribe

Eran Friedman, Co-Founder and CTO at Singular, joins Apptivate to talk about what the initial postbacks from SKAdNetwork 4.0 mean for mobile marketers. In this episode, he and host Brian Altman discuss the new features of SKAN 4.0 for mobile advertisers, how to leverage these features, and how to transition from SKAN 3.0 to SKAN 4.0. You'll also learn about FLEDGE and how to prepare for privacy changes with Google's Privacy Sandbox for Android. Singular is a next-gen mobile measurement partner and thought leader on SKAdNetwork. Singular's intelligent SaaS platform enables mobile marketers to unify, analyze and optimize all of their marketing channels through a single dashboard, without any required SDKs. Eran is based in Tel Aviv, Israel. Questions Eran Answered in this Episode:Remind us, what's new with SKAdNetwork 4.0?What postback data are you receiving from SKAN 4.0 and how long have you been receiving it? And is there anything that you can pull from that data that's actionable?In terms of the changes to SKAN 4.0, what would you say excites you the most based on the initial data that you've seen?If you could name one change that SKAN 4.0 has done that advertisers should focus on first, what would that be?Are you currently using SKAN 4.0 to build models that prove ROAS for your customers?What would you advise advertisers on how to best transition to using SKAN 4.0?Have you experienced any challenges or surprises with the initial data from SKAN 4.0?What's your prediction for what to expect in the next versions of SKAdNetwork?What is FLEDGE, and how does it differ from SKAN?How is Singular preparing right now for Android's Privacy Sandbox?What is the best thing advertisers can do to prepare for the impending changes with Google?Timestamp:2:20 What's new with SKAN 4.0?4:04 Initial postback data from SKAN 4.06:43 Use cases for SKAN 4.0 for small and large advertisers11:11 Singular solutions for analyzing your ROAS with SKAN 4.014:56 Transitioning from SKAN 3.0 to SKAN 4.019:10 What advertisers can do to leverage SKAN 4.0 features22:41 Introducing more randomness in longer-window postbacks26:19 Eran's predictions for the future of SKAdNetwork29:00 Google's approach to privacy changes with Privacy Sandbox on Android35:13 Preparing for Andoird Privacy SandboxQuotes:(9:27-9:51) “The feature that's been most discussed and the most exciting for the large-scale advertisers out there is definitely the longer windows and the multiple postbacks. So, the 35-day window you mentioned is a potential game-changer for working with SKAN, especially for the companies who see more of the signal and value of the user after more than 24 hours.”(19:40-19:59) “Technically, you don't need to do anything as an advertiser to start getting SKAN 4.0 postbacks. It's the network that actually has to make a change. The advantage of updating your MMP SDK to support SKAN 4.0 is that you would leverage the features coming from it.”Mentioned in this Episode:Apptivate Episode 141: Tips for Overcoming SKAd Network's 3 Biggest Issues - Eran Friedman (Singular)Eran Friedman's LinkedInSingular

When young Bald Eagles fledge, the event is the culmination of nearly a year's work by the parents. Let's recap how it might have gone: male and female build a nest over the winter. By March, they have two eggs. The female incubates the eggs for about a month, with the male taking an occasional turn. The result? A couple of tiny, three-ounce chicks. At eight weeks, they're as heavy as the adults — 10 to 14 pounds. Two weeks later, they make their first flights. But it will take another 10 weeks of practice flights and provisioning by the adults before the young birds are ready to strike out on their own. More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote?

Google is keeping to its end-of-2023 deadline for disabling the use of third-party cookies in its Chrome browser, the company's senior director of product management, ads privacy and user trust David Temkin said in the latest episode of the Digiday Podcast. Of course, that timeline could still change, as it has before. But part of Google's decision to extend its previous deadline was to give the company time for testing and tweaking, said Temkin. “We've got a pretty good line of sight to the endpoint. We've got a good plan to get there, and we're making rapid progress,” he said. Much of that plan centers on Google's Privacy Sandbox, which spans the company's collection of cookie-replacing technologies. That includes contextual targeting proposal Topics and retargeting tool FLEDGE. And technically, Google has two Privacy Sandboxes: the web-oriented Privacy Sandbox for Chrome and the recently introduced mobile-minded Privacy Sandbox for Android. Considering the development of the connected TV advertising ecosystem and CTV's reliance on the cookie-like IP address, CTV would seem ripe to eventually receive its own Privacy Sandbox — a possibility that the Google executive entertained. “At some point in time, could solutions be delivered on CTV that would deliver the same kind of relevant advertising that you can see on these other identifier-free platforms? Yes,” said Temkin.

Les 8 et 9 décembre 2021 se tenait l'événement Les Régies au Futur, organisé par La Presse au Futur. C'était le rendez-vous incontournable dédié aux régies et aux équipes commerciales des médias print, web et digitaux. 4 conférences s'y tenaient, afin de présenter les nouvelles innovations de la programmatique, du native advertising, du RTB et les conséquences de l'abandon de la règle des cookies tiers. François Defossez, cofondateur de CosaVostra, a animé cette discussion avec Margarita Zlatkova, Head of Programmatic Advertising chez Weborama et membre de la Taskforce Cookieless de l'IAB France, Marc Leprat, cofondateur et président de ViewPay, Thomas Zaruba, Chief Digital Officer de Media by Kantar, et Jeremy Parola, directeur des activités numériques chez Reworld Media. Le sujet : Après avoir fait les beaux jours du ciblage publicitaire, les cookies tiers devraient disparaître de nos navigateurs d'ici 2023. Quelles répercussions auront ce retrait sur les usages des internautes ? Entre les normes européennes, les recommandations de la CNIL et les GAFA, les marques sont déjà dans une zone grise. Les intervenants dégagent 5 alternatives aux cookies tiers : # Les Cookies 1st party. Ce sont des informations sécurisées, qui ne concernent qu'un seul domaine. Elles n'impliquent aucun tiers, et respectent le consentement. # Le Single Sign-On. Il donne l'accès à plusieurs sites au moyen d'une seule authentification : c'est l'identifiant unique. Par exemple, Prisma Connect permet d'accéder à tous les services de Prisma Media. # L'ID partagée. Elle permet de connaître un individu et pas un navigateur personnel, ce qui permet un ciblage plus fin, 100% user centric. Le trafic est authentifié sur toute la chaîne de publicité et nécessite cependant le consentement des utilisateurs. # Le Ciblage contextuel. C'est une méthode qui propose des annonces adaptées au contenu qui est en train d'être consommé. Elle ne s'impose pas, et peut même laisser l'internaute choisir. Elle s'appuie sur des bases de données, de la sémantique… # La Privacy Sandbox. Google a lancé FLoC (Federated Learning of Cohort) et classe les utilisateurs dans des grands groupes tout en respectant leur vie privée. Il peut analyser les Event reports (informations sur un clic ou une impression liée à une conversion, actuellement en test), et les Aggregate reports (plus d'infos sur la conversion mais sans la lier à quoi que ce soit, résultats prévus courant 2022). Il existe également Fledge de CRITEO. Quelques informations supplémentaires : Lisez Seth Godin - Le Marketing de la Permission ici Pour maximiser la collecte de data et avoir des taux de consentement élevés, certains sites travaillent leur UX, certains proposent un système d'abonnement, et d'autres récoltent des données différentes. 96% des lecteurs du New York Times ne payent pas pour accéder au contenu. Le média leur donne simplement des raisons pour lesquelles ils paieront plus tard. Ce système plaît car il permet de “goûter” aux contenus avant d'acheter. Pour découvrir tout ça, c'est par ici si vous préférez Apple Podcasts, par là si vous préférez Deezer, ici si vous préférez Google Podcast, ou encore là si vous préférez Spotify. N'oubliez pas de laisser 5 étoiles et un commentaire sympa sur Apple Podcasts si l'épisode vous a plu !

Luni Libes, founder of Africa Eats, is a serial entrepreneur, or, actually, a Parallel Entrepreneur, currently running about 5 companies that help social enterprises. He started and sold several tech startups before moving into impact investing. Now he runs several Businesses that help other startups. For example, He runs the startup accelerator Fledge. He provides follow on investment through Africa Eats. He teachers investors how to invest at the Angel Sccelerator (a very important thing, btw. Angel investors need to learn how to invest just like entrepreneurs need to learn how to runa business). His has a community called Realize Impact and Investor Flow which helps shares opportunities for investors. Today we talked about Africa Eats which is not a investment fund but a holding company--a totally new way to provide capital to entrepreneurs that I think we will see a lot more of once Luni proves that it works. You can best think of Africa Eats as Berkshire Hathaway for food in Africa. Luni is an absolutely incredible personality and doing amazing work. Africa Eats is a small company now but I think they are well positioned to be huge. I was really lucky to get him on the podcast because I'm sure in a year or two he will be on The Joe Rogan Experience and Tim Ferriss show and he won't have any time for small podcast like me so the real pleasure to talk to him.

One can create impact with a company by embedding the mission into its products or solutions. Like Wholefoods, the mission to provide high quality organic food to people was built into its business model. 2. Learn to think outside the book with the limited resources you have. Great businesses are often built from the ingenuity of an entrepreneur who is able to make the most of what they have and to innovate something out of it. 3. Focus on being able to tell your company's story. Good storytelling gets a higher level of engagement from customers and helps grow your business.Connect with Ted on: His Website at : www.tedteo.com LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ted-teo/ Instagram at: @ted.teo Facebook at : https://www.facebook.com/groups/tedteo

On this episode, Hall welcomes Luni Libes of Fledge, a global network of conscious company accelerators and impact investment funds. Luni is a serial entrepreneur. He started his first company in 1992. Luni then spent 20 years working with tech startups. Right around the 20-year mark, he decided to start a business accelerator and in that process, he started investing in startups. In this episode, you'll get Luni's unique perspective and advice to those wanting to invest. Luni says the key is to see as many deals as you can before you jump in with two feet, but also to take a few steps back and look around and question everything. Luni sets himself apart from other investors by investing in a forum that's not typical. He invests in revenue-based equity. He invests in sectors and geographies that are not common.

The wailing calls of the red-tailed black cockatoos that live in Australia's South East are being used to help change the future for the failing species.[Repeat]

If you're like me, you spend a lot of time looking out windows - the ones in the house, the ones in the car, the ones in the office - at things human beings have built. Other than some trees and maybe a flowering shrub or some plants at the mailbox, I'm hard pressed to see much in the way of nature living in the 'burbs. I guess the reason why people say "I need to get back to nature" is because they, well, aren't near it on a day-to-day basis. So when the opportunity to talk to a real safari guide, a guy who spends most of his time in the bush came my way, I had to have a chat with him. Fledge Fiamingo is, first and foremost, a teacher of the Gospel. His mission with Son Safaris is to take people on the trip of a lifetime - a safari in his native homeland of South Africa - to not only experience God's amazing creation, but to help them understand how all the beautiful creatures and plants actually fit together to tell the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Fledge has a colorful background and he shared with me his faith journey from professional naturalist and guide in South Africa, to his moving to Georgia and starting his safari missions ministry. One of the things I enjoyed most about Fledge was his incredible storytelling ability. He can take something as mundane as a spiderweb and turn it into not only a science lesson, but also an engaging and incredibly meaningful testament to the creativity of God and His love for us. Fledge is definitely the kind of guy you'd want to sit beside you around a campfire. You may be thinking, "Jules, I get the lesson part; but how is this a mission trip?" I'm so glad you asked! Part of the time you're in South Africa, you're learning, seeing and doing things related to nature. But for a significant portion of the trip, you'd be doing more traditional mission trip assignments like helping churches and working with children in orphanages. Son Safaris is providing a great opportunity to have so much more than just a unique adventure. They are providing ways to learn, grow in your faith, share the Gospel and serve others. Click on over and check out my podcast interview with Fledge Fiamingo, if for no other reason than to hear a great story from a guy with an accent even cooler than mine!

This Podcast is sponsored by Maine Startup and Create Week. This years conference is June 20th to 26th in Portand, ME and is going to be amazing! This year's conference is focused on design and innovation. They're bringing in some of the best minds to discuss and teach how entrepreneurs can use the skills that accompany great design and design thinking to help build better companies, products and solutions to the world's most pressing problems? Panels will cover topics ranging from a mixture of Biotech, Agricultural tech and innovation and environmental technology to health-care, disruption of the insurance industry, industrial 3D design and lessons from failed startups. Keynote speakers so far for this year include Mike Perlis (president and CEO of Forbes Media), Heather Stephenson (Head of Brand Strategy at Super) and Peter Roper (Head of Mobile Brand Strategy at Google). Last years conference drew over 4000 attendees and had 215 volunteers contributing over 10,000 hours.  Check out Mainestartupandcreateweek.com for more information. If you want to volunteer, attend or think you know a good speaker for the topics at this years conference, let them know.   Enter Michael “Luni” Libes Michael Luni Libes is one of the most brilliant early stage impact investors. He's also been known to play ahead of the curve (tablets and smartphones) and see the trends and revolutions coming, albeit sometimes he gets there too early. He also sees things differently and has been at the forefront of early and seed stage impact focused support and investing and for years. He's a serial tech entrepreneur turned impact investor and ecosystem builder. His company, Fledge, is an innovative model for all forms of accelerator and incubator programs, and are one with a model that allow companies to continue to receive support from the accelerator once their cohort graduates. Fledge's innovative for-profit investment thesis allows companies to focus on the most important metric to their success - getting customers - while using a small portion of their revenues to gradually buy back equity from its investors. This models provides investors with a 4x return on their investment, and makes the ROI comparable to tech investing. With the launch of Aviary, Luni has now built three major required pieces of a startup ecosystem. A pre-accelerator, an incubator/accelerator program, and now a seed stage impact investing fund. In this episode, Luni will give you the blueprint for how you can join him and start building an impact focused startup support ecosystem in your city.   Admittedly Michael “Luni” Libes is one of the biggest reasons for my entry into the field of impact investing. He was an early influence when I first got involved in the space back in Seattle, and was one of the people that gave me the opportunity to start learning and developing my understanding of impact investing and conducting due diligence on social good startups. It is because of all of these reasons that I am so excited to bring you this episode and share with you a glimpse into how seed stage impact investors see the world of social enterprise and startups.
