Modern advertising is louder, faster, and more crowded than ever, yet so much of it feels forgettable. In an AI-saturated landscape where campaigns blur together and creativity is often watered down by committees, truly distinctive work is rare. Today's guest, Kyle Duford, associate partner at Optimism (a five-time Ad Age Small Agency of the Year), is on a mission to bring back magic, momentum, and meaning to marketing for brands like Airbnb, DoorDash, Bachan's Barbecue Sauce, and Habit Burger. In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Kyle Duford reframes what optimism really is, and what it isn't. It's not blind positivity or fake happiness. Instead, Kyle defines optimism as the belief that tomorrow can be better with intentional change and hard work. He shares how Optimism uses this mindset as a strategic engine to design ideas people choose, ideas that build belief, earn attention, and turn cultural energy into growth. Rather than chasing vanity metrics, his team focuses on real business drivers: deeper customer connection, brand differentiation, and momentum that actually moves the needle. https://youtu.be/mWYj_EErXrw?si=HVlWVjQgrxBvQYWV You'll hear specific stories from campaigns for Bachan's and Habit Burger, where Optimism took “ordinary” food products and transformed them into irresistible, talk-worthy brands. Kyle explains how his team starts with a rigorous brand and competitive strategy, then chooses the right mix of executions, TV spots, YouTube shorts, outdoor, social, stunts, events, or print based on the problem they're solving, not the latest marketing fad. He also unpacks why independent agencies are critical to saving great advertising in a world dominated by holding companies and safe, committee-approved ideas.Kyle dives into the role of AI in advertising, outlining why Optimism uses AI to iterate, not ideate. Humans set the strategy and originate the ideas; AI helps rapidly explore variations, visualize directions, and speed up production, without replacing the creative leap that only people can make. He ties this into a bigger conversation about the generational divide in media consumption, from Gen X's analog-to-streaming evolution to how Gen Z and Gen Alpha navigate a fragmented, choice-rich world where there is no longer a single “monoculture.” If you're a marketer, founder, or brand leader wondering how to stand out when audiences are overwhelmed, distracted, and skeptical, this conversation will give you a powerful new lens. Kyle introduces “Optimism: A Case for the Only Idea That Has Ever Actually Worked,” a research-backed, story-driven book that shows how optimism has consistently driven breakthroughs in business, science, art, and life. If you've been feeling like your brand is stuck in the “mushy middle” of lookalike messaging and safe campaigns, Kyle's perspective on optimism, creativity, and momentum may be exactly what you need to break through. Quotes: “If you look at what makes a human, a company, a brand, anything different than all the other things like it, you start finding these little idiosyncrasies of people that are just so fucking gorgeous.” “The independent agency is still very important in advertising, and it's the independent agency who has the ability to; really form an opinion of a brand that's going to move the needle.” “Our definition, my definition is that optimism is the belief that tomorrow could be better with some change, that we can work hard together or solo, whatever the task is at hand to achieve better.” Contact Details: Explore Kyle Duford's Official Website Connect with Kyle Duford on LinkedIn Check out the Optimism Website Follow Kyle Duford on Instagram Get a Copy of Optimism: A Case for the Only Idea That Has Ever Actually Worked on Amazon

This week, Hannah and Barbi kick things off with a surprisingly spirited discussion about gas tanks, including how long they're willing to drive on "empty" and why some people seem to treat refueling as a competitive sport.From there, the conversation turns to something even more exciting: the ways God is moving in the next generation. They talk about the growing number of Gen Alpha kids coming to Christ, encouraging trends among Gen Z, and the incredible story of 2,552 people being baptized through Eleven22.One story in particular stood out. The man who spent the day shuttling people to and from the baptisms ended up becoming the final person baptized himself. Whether it was planned or a spontaneous response to what God was doing, it's a powerful reminder that you never know how God might work through an ordinary day.They also share thoughts on VBS, building relationships, and why loving people well is often the first step toward pointing them to Jesus.It's a shorter episode, but one that's full of encouragement, hope, and reminders that God is still changing lives every day.

The tourism industry has spent years talking about workforce shortages. But what if part of the solution starts with us? Elizabeth Whalen believes that industry engagement is a critical part of cultivating new tourism talent. As a tourism professor at Middle Tennessee State University, she works every day with students who are interested in working in our industry. And she knows what a difference early engagement can make. Elizabeth joins this episode of the podcast to explain how she prepares students for real-world tourism work and how the travel industry can help invest in tourism education. She also shares how we can better inspire our Gen Z and Gen Alpha team members. Plus, we have news about river cruise lines’ growing lineup of land tours, a special opportunity for NTA members and a Hot Minute about where our industry is failing in workforce development. Insights from Elizabeth Elizabeth had a lot of great insight about what young tourism students are looking for — and how the rest of us can help. Here’s what she said about preparing students for the reality of tourism work: “One of the things I tell the students is that we are not too good for any role in this industry. So if we’re not willing to clean a toilet, we’re in the wrong place. Sometimes you’re just gonna have to roll up your sleeves and do the dirty work and get it done. And so it’s about managing expectations on both sides and then preparing them to enter into leadership roles with best practices. Plus, she had great perspectives on: How tourism companies can help mid-level staff members grow Building partnerships between schools and travel organizations How to connect with your local college’s hospitality program Resources Mentioned in This Episode Follow Elizabeth Whalen on LinkedIn.

Send us Fan MailEver said "bite the bullet" or "the whole nine yards" and wondered where those phrases actually came from? In this episode, the guys dig into the origins of common phrases and sayings, separating the real history from the folk-etymology myths almost everyone repeats.This is part history lesson, part comedy chaos. The crew works through dozens of everyday idioms, busts the popular "obvious" explanations that turn out to be wrong, and then fast-forwards to the modern slang taking over in 2026. If you love language, trivia, and unfiltered conversation, this one's for you. (Heads up: explicit language throughout.)Along the way you'll find out why "saved by the bell" has nothing to do with being buried alive, how "caught red handed" traces back to 15th-century Scottish law, and the surprising claim that "the whole nine yards" may have been born right here in Southern Indiana. The second half shifts gears into Gen Z and Gen Alpha slang, breaking down terms like "delulu," "cooked," "beige flag," and a few that are far less printable. If you've got a weird phrase or saying you want the guys to dig into, drop it in the comments.

Part 2 moves from the journey to the operating philosophy. Riyaaz Amlani unpacks his evolving stance on the aggregators — from resistance to "uneasy truce" — and the hard lesson that restaurateurs who send guests to Zomato and Swiggy have only themselves to blame.

Email: bidemiologunde@gmail.comIn this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde examines Roblox as Gen Alpha's emerging social operating system: a game platform, creator economy, virtual marketplace, identity layer, brand channel, and child-safety test case. How did Roblox turn user-generated play into one of the most important youth platforms in the world? Why do children experience virtual spaces as real social infrastructure? Can a company monetize children's attention, creativity, and social lives while credibly protecting them? And what does Roblox reveal about the future of youth mental health, digital wellbeing, and platform accountability?

In this episode, Jonathan Morrow sits down with Katie Faust, children's rights advocate, founder and president of Them Before Us, and voice behind the Greater Than Campaign,  for a wide-ranging conversation on why God's design for marriage and family is the foundation of child protection, human flourishing, and civilizational health.   Katie shares her personal backstory: a stay-at-home mom and pastor's wife who was moved to action out of "blind rage" over the normalization of mother and father loss in the gay marriage debate. Drawing on her own experience with family fragmentation and her years in youth ministry, she brings both personal conviction and rigorous argumentation to the table.   Topics Discussed:   Why the religious liberty argument against gay marriage failed, and what should have been said instead The three things children uniquely receive when raised by their biological mother and father: biological identity, safety and love, and a complementary gender balance The Cinderella Effect and what decades of social science say about unrelated adults in the home How to respond to common objections: "Love makes a family," "This is an equality issue," and "The studies show no harm" Why Christians cannot opt out of this issue in the name of "just preaching the gospel" A vision for Gen Z and Gen Alpha: why this generation has the greatest calling of any in history   Resources Mentioned:   Them Before Us (thembeforeus.com) Greater Than Campaign (greaterthancampaign.com) Impact 360 Institute (impact360.org) Realign Conference — September, Atlanta area Ministry Leader Collective — cohort training for youth pastors and next gen directors Documentary: This Is a Child (Focus on the Family, upcoming) Book: Them Before Us: Why We Need a Global Children's Rights Movement by Katie Faust

Lagu “Mas Bahlil Ganteng” kiranya menjadi fenomena yang belum pernah terjadi sebelumnya dalam konteks sosial-politik Indonesia. Kedahsyatannya yang dinyanyikan dewasa maupun Gen-Alpha, mendobrak algoritma untuk mengubah citra seketika saat seorang pejabat yang awalnya dinaungi nuansa skeptisisme.

In this interview, Mambu CEO Fernando Zandona discusses the critical importance of securing younger customers, specifically Gen Z and Alpha, because bank loyalty often lasts a lifetime. These demographics demand fast, digitally native experiences that traditional institutions struggle to provide using outdated legacy systems. To remain competitive against agile neobanks, Zandona suggests that established firms adopt cloud-based, composable banking platforms to launch modern services quickly without disrupting their main infrastructure. This strategy, exemplified by ABN Amro, allows banks to maintain compliance and trust while innovating through a "sidecar" core approach. Ultimately, the source highlights how technology partnerships enable financial institutions to meet the evolving expectations of a savvy new generation.

"Mogging" is everywhere right now — and it's quietly reshaping how a whole generation sees themselves. Born in the manosphere from the acronym AMOG ("alpha male of the group"), mogging means outdoing or outshining someone on looks and status. It's spreading through Gen Z and Gen Alpha, and it's colliding with the most fragile years of self-worth development. In this episode, Dr. Caroline Leaf breaks down what mogging actually does to the developing brain, why self-worth isn't a feeling but a physical architecture you build, and how to rebuild it using a step-by-step Neurocycle Prescription you can do with yourself or your teen. Plus a Pick My Brain Q&A on why self-worth feels so hard to build and so easy to lose, and whether low self-worth is genetic or learned.

Conway Jr Show Hour 2 (6.16) In this episode, we’re cracking open a wild mix of neighborhood drama, fast-food shakeups, safety reminders, and viral pop-culture chaos. First, residents in an Encino neighborhood say they are fed up with suspicious activity at a nearby home they believe may be used by influencers and content creators filming for OnlyFans. Neighbors claim they have seen scantily clad women in the front yard, litter in the streets, and alcohol cans left behind — including BuzzBallz, the viral ready-to-drink cocktails packing 15% alcohol with flavors like Lotta Colada. Then it’s time for our Fast-Food Update. KFC is rolling out a massive global revamp with a focus on boneless chicken, more than 20 new sauces, next-generation restaurant designs, and a modernized Colonel Sanders logo. The famous red chicken buckets are getting a fresh new look as KFC tries to bring chicken closer to its chicken-loving peers. We also talk about a simple but serious safety reminder: stop wearing all black when walking around after sunset. It may look cool, but it can be extremely dangerous for drivers trying to see pedestrians at night. Next, we break down the big Pizza Hut business shakeup, with reports of Yum! Brands selling Pizza Hut in major transactions. As restaurant prices keep climbing, one thing is clear: pizza is not as affordable as it used to be. And finally, why are kids between 10 and 20 being called the “Lime Generation”? Gen Z and Gen Alpha are colliding with memes, viral aesthetics, Skittles colors, and internet culture. Plus, the Knicks are dominating the tattoo space as emotional fans turn big sports moments into permanent ink.

In this interview, Spencer Dalke talks with Dave Boden about the unique challenges and opportunities facing Generation Alpha, particularly around anxiety and the rapid rise of artificial intelligence. Drawing from decades of working with young people, Boden explains how Gen Alpha is shaped by a hyper-connected, digital-first world, where constant exposure to information, social pressure, and technology contributes to rising anxiety and identity struggles. The conversation explores how AI is reshaping not only how kids learn and create, but also how they form relationships and seek guidance—often turning to technology before people. Boden emphasizes the need for parents and mentors to respond with compassion rather than judgment, modeling healthy habits while actively engaging their kids in meaningful conversations about identity, purpose, and truth. Ultimately, he highlights the hope of the gospel as a grounding framework for this generation, encouraging families to help young people anchor their identity in Christ and navigate a complex world with wisdom, resilience, and authentic human connection.  Who is Gen Alpha?  Sources of anxiety for the generation.  How artificial intelligence contributes to generational upheaval.  Parenting Gen Alpha for Gospel roots and fuller humanity.  “One of the ways we [train children in the Lord] is to contextualize around Jesus being very relevant for their lives where they're at. Jesus is the Prince of Peace. It's around what they say to themselves and the way they speak [about] themselves.”  Featured work: Raising Gen Alpha: Helping Kids Navigate Everything from Anxiety to AI  Connect with Dave Boden at DaveBoden.uk.  For more faith-filled, Gospel-centered content, download the Pilgrim Radio app today on Google Play and Apple, or stream at PilgrimRadio.com.

Send us Fan MailBefore we know it, youth ministry can become really good at running events—and not as effective at making disciples.In Part 2 of our conversation with Dr. David Odom and Deconstructing Youth Ministry, we tackle one of the biggest questions facing churches today.How do we build student ministries that produce lasting faith, not just busy calendars?We explore why teenagers today are both different and surprisingly the same. Students still wrestle with identity, belonging, purpose, and faith, but they're doing it in a world shaped by social media, digital overload, and increasing isolation. That's why relational youth ministry matters more than ever.Dr. Odom shares two powerful truths every youth leader should remember:✅ True discipleship happens in the context of relationships.✅ The leader is the lesson.We also unpack Dr. Odom's research into the three arenas of effective youth ministry:

Connor pugs tells a Storytime about a Gen Alpha Kid Claims to have “Godlike Powers”… Today i tell a story time about a gen alpha ipad kid who has brainrot and thinks he is literally a superhero, like superman or homelander, and he might have worse brainrot than gen beta... and on top of all of this he is also a spoiled brat

Game studios keep chasing Gen Z and Gen Alpha, but the hardcore gamers are actually middle-aged. According to a new survey, the average age of gamers is 37 and rising, with older gamers being the more hardcore players. Almost 30% of gamers over age 50, which tracks if they've been playing since the Atari or NES days. Really it's Gen X that bankrolls nerdom, and you want to keep the people who BUY your stuff happy.

In today's episode of Scaling UP! H2O, host Trace Blackmore sits down with workplace resilience expert and U.S. Marine veteran Tiffany Wentz‑Root to decode how different generations show up in the industrial water treatment industry. From the Silent Generation's post‑war loyalties through Baby Boomers' commitment to long hours, Gen X's distrust of corporate loyalty, Millennials' desire for purpose and feedback, and Gen Z's demand for emotional literacy, the conversation illustrates how each cohort was shaped by historical and technological upheaval. The discussion reframes "hustle culture" and argues that a focus on mental health and values alignment can increase retention and performance. Generations and the events that shaped them Tiffany explains that generations are roughly 20–30 year cohorts defined by shared formative experiences. The Silent Generation (1928‑45) endured the Great Depression and World War II; Baby Boomers (1946‑64) were taught loyalty and stability; Gen X (1965‑80) witnessed mass layoffs and became fiercely independent; Millennials (1981‑96) were helicopter parented and accustomed to participation trophies; and Gen Z (1997‑2012) grew up online, socializing via games and apps and weathering school shootings and a pandemic. These histories explain why Baby Boomers and Gen X equate "hard work" with hours logged, whereas Millennials and Gen Z measure effort by pride, alignment and emotional impact. Gen Z's exposure to constant online crises makes them the "anxious and afraid generation" with record rates of anxiety and depression, highlighting the need for supportive leadership.   Hustle culture versus emotional literacy The conversation challenges the idea that toughness equals success. Wentz‑Root stresses that leaders must "stop prizing strength" and recognize that feeling and processing emotions is hard work. She advocates for environments where people can bring their whole selves to work rather than suppressing feelings in order to conform to traditional hustle culture. She notes that Gen Z sees phone calls as "prehistoric" and prefers to communicate via apps like Snapchat or Discord, so older professionals should adapt their communication style—using fewer capital letters, punctuation and more emojis or GIFs—to avoid appearing angry or dismissive. For water treatment companies seeking to recruit young professionals, she urges them to articulate company values and support mental health, because Gen Z will leave if work doesn't align with their skills or passions. Practical strategies for leaders and organizations To bridge the generational divide, Wentz‑Root proposes creating a "social contract": a collaboratively defined set of values, behaviors and communication norms that are revisited regularly. Such agreements encourage teams to discuss how they prefer to give and receive feedback, when to use Slack versus meetings, and what good work looks like across ages. She also recommends structured cross‑mentorship, matching senior employees who are nearing retirement with junior colleagues based on skills rather than age, so institutional knowledge isn't lost. She cautions against judging younger staff as entitled or weak; rather, leaders should ask why behaviors exist and treat differences as strengths. Lastly, she reminds Baby Boomers and Gen Xers that sharing decades of hard‑earned experience with Gen Z isn't charity—it's how you build a legacy and ensure the industry thrives. For water‑treatment professionals, recognizing that "different doesn't mean wrong" can unlock better collaboration, innovation and resilience. By replacing judgment with curiosity, establishing social contracts and mentorship programs, and adapting communication to younger workers, leaders can turn generational tension into an asset.

We need to understand that emotions are very difficult to face. To feel your feelings, to name them, to process them—that's hard" "When I asked, 'What's your definition of hard work?' the baby boomer said, 'I put in a lot of hours.' Gen X said, 'I put in a lot of hours.' Millennials said, 'I get the job done and I'm proud of it.' Gen Z said, 'It's when the work that I've done aligns with my skills and my passions, and I feel good about what I did'" "Judgment kills curiosity … When I see someone of a different generation with a different way of communicating, I automatically go, 'That's bad, that's weird.' Instead, I want you to step into curiosity and say, 'Why would they do that? What happened in their life that shaped them to be this person?'"   Connect with Tiffany Wentz-Root Phone: (425) 359-5088 Email: tiffany@resilientroots.com Website: resilientroots.com  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tiffanywentz-root/    Guest Resources Mentioned  Generational Diversity Outline  Bridging the Gap: Navigating Generational Diversity at Work 17776: What football will look like in the future by Jon Bois Pity the Reader: On Writing with Style (Paperback) by Kurt Vonnegut (Author), Suzanne McConnell (Author) Washington's Farewell: The Founding Father's Warning to Future Generations by John Avlon   Scaling UP!

In this episode, we sit down with Brieane (Brie) Olson, CEO of PacSun, for a conversation that is equal parts brand strategy masterclass and career inspiration. Brie has spent nearly two decades at PacSun — moving from design and product to marketing and digital before stepping into the CEO role three years ago — and has led one of retail's most remarkable transformation stories, taking the brand from bankruptcy to a Harvard Business School case study and a cult following with Gen Z. She opens up about the viral TikTok moment that shaped PacSun's entire philosophy around co-creation, why most brands are fundamentally misunderstanding Gen Z and Gen Alpha, and what it actually looks like to give your customers a real seat at the table — not just a focus group. She also digs into her own leadership journey, why she went back to school at 40, and what she'd tell anyone trying to build something meaningful from wherever they're starting. Her new book, Co-Created, is out now.Key Takeaways:// Treat your customers as co-creators, not an audience. The turning point in PacSun's story came when an everyday consumer — not a contracted influencer — filmed a TikTok in her bedroom that sold 11,000 pairs of jeans in under 48 hours. The lesson Brie took from it: when you truly empower customers to love and represent your brand, the results can far outpace anything a paid campaign produces.// Give Gen Z an actual seat at the table — not just a survey. PacSun's Youth Advisory Council brings together 14 young people aged 12 to 26 who function like a board of directors — weighing in on tech initiatives, marketing campaigns, and strategy. Social listening is a starting point, but the brands that win are the ones creating formal structures to involve their community in real decisions.// Experiential retail isn't complicated:  the mall is back, and unexpected pop-ups are winning. Gen Z and Gen Alpha want to touch product, hang out with friends, and be surprised. PacSun has seen major success showing up trackside at Formula One in Austin, at Goofball, and in other culturally-relevant spaces. Meeting the customer in moments that matter to them — not just in places convenient to the brand — is the new retail playbook.// You don't need a title to start leading. Brie's advice for early-career listeners: stay deeply curious, build relationships relentlessly, never stay too rigidly in your lane, and do more than what's expected of you. She also makes the point that identifying what's blocking your growth — and taking action on it — matters more than waiting for the right opportunity. She went back to school at 40. It's never too late to fill the gap.Connect with Brie: LinkedInGet a Copy of the Book: Amazon____Join the MHH Collective!

In this episode of Commerce Untold, host Eitan Koter sits down with Carol Shih, founder of Qode Space, a boutique Shopify agency, and Doraemi, a cross-border consultancy helping international brands enter and grow in the US market.Carol has a background that spans LVMH, Alibaba, and years of working with fashion and beauty brands across multiple continents. She brings a direct, no-nonsense perspective to what it actually takes to succeed in cross-border e-commerce.They get into why so many international brands, including some doing billions in Asia, struggle the moment they try to enter the US. Carol explains that the product is rarely the problem. It usually comes down to self-awareness: knowing your weaknesses before you start spending.The conversation covers what a proper Shopify audit looks like, why pouring money into traffic before your store is ready is one of the most common and expensive mistakes brands make, and how to think about brand positioning before touching paid ads or picking a sales channel.They also talk about the shift toward AI search and what brands need to do now to stay discoverable, why TikTok Shop has changed the beauty category faster than most brands expected, and how Gen Alpha is about to reshape shopping behavior in ways most businesses are not prepared for.Carol also shares how she leads her two businesses, why transparency and community sit at the core of her team culture, and why her ideal clients are usually brands that have already made the expensive mistakes.If you are thinking about cross-border e-commerce, expanding into the US market, or trying to get more out of your Shopify store, this episode is worth your full attention.Website: https://www.vimmi.netEmail us: info@vimmi.netPodcast website: https://vimmi.net/commerce-untold/Eitan Koter's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eitankoter/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@VimmiVideoCommerce/featuredGuest: Carol Shih, Founder, Qode Space and DoraemiCarol Shih's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shihcarol/Qode Space: https://qodespace.com/Watch the full Youtube video here:https://youtu.be/ptO--lEfDegTakeaways:Self-awareness is the most overlooked step in cross-border e-commerce expansionDominating your home market does not mean you will succeed in the USA slow, buggy website with spelling errors destroys trust before a sale can happenAmazon drives volume but builds no brand loyalty or long-term competitive edgeShopify store performance must be audited before investing in paid trafficAI search (GEO) is the next layer brands need to prepare for alongside SEOTikTok Shop has already surpassed Sephora in beauty salesGen Alpha will reshape shopping behavior within the next four yearsGreat teams are built on transparency, community and psychological safetyThe best clients to work with are the ones who already understand where they failedChapters:[00:00] Introduction: Meet Carol Shih[01:05] From Taiwan to Australia to the US: The Third-Culture Founder[02:30] Biggest Mistakes Brands Make When Going Global[04:31] The Self-Awareness Problem: You Can't Fix What You Won't See[05:58] What Cross-Border Consulting Actually Looks Like in Practice[07:57] Founder-Led Content and Building Long-Term Authority[09:38] Lessons from Alibaba: Speed, Competition and Work Culture[12:26] The Shopify Audit Process: How to Build a High-Converting Store[14:36] AI in E-Commerce: What Is Real Right Now[16:40] AI Search, GEO and the Click-Less Future[18:04] Go-to-Market for International Brands: Amazon vs TikTok vs DTC[22:10] Beauty, Fashion and Lifestyle: Why Carol Keeps Landing Here[23:46] K-Beauty, Gen Z and the TikTokification of Shopping[25:18] Gen Alpha Will Change Everything: Here Is What to Watch[27:10] Leadership, Team Building and Running Two Companies[30:46] Leading With Transparency as a Founder and a Parent[32:01] Carol's Ideal Client: Brands That Have Already Failed[34:05] Where to Find Carol Shih

Email: bidemiologunde@gmail.comIn this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde examines a volatile week where AI privacy, global conflict, reproductive rights, digital childhood spending, and synthetic voices all collided. What does it mean when Meta wants AI chats to disappear? How did Gen Alpha become a nearly $100 billion consumer force? Could the U.S. sustain simultaneous crises in Iran, Ukraine, and Taiwan? And why are audio deepfakes becoming so hard to detect? This episode connects the biggest stories of May 11–17, 2026, into one clear picture of power, trust, and control in a rapidly shifting world.

Gen Alpha has completely fragmented away from traditional TV, leaving advertisers scrambling to connect with kids and parents across YouTube, FAST channels, and gaming platforms.  This week, Mike sits down with Emma Witkowski, VP of Media Solutions at WildBrain, to unpack the massive market disconnect in children's media, the power of nostalgia in family co-viewing, and how upcoming privacy regulations like COPPA 2.0 are rewriting the rules of digital targeting.
