Eric Toda has helped shape some of the most influential brands of the last two decades. At Facebook, Nike, Snapchat, Airbnb, Gap, Stitch Fix, and Meta, he's built marketing organizations from scratch, launched category-defining work, advised some of the world's most prominent executives, and made a career out of pushing ideas further than most companies are comfortable going. But after two decades of building at some of the biggest brands in the world, Eric stepped away from his career entirely to coach his kids, reconnect with life outside of work, and figure out who he was without a company attached to his name. In this conversation with Ryan, Eric talks about rediscovering his creative fire, why being willing to be wrong is more valuable than always trying to be right, and the three non-negotiables that convinced him it was time to get back in the game. They also dig into what coaching kids has taught him about leading adults, why he looks for “fire” in every person he hires, and the wildly ambitious marketing stunt that reminded him he could still light up the internet when given the freedom to create.
Send us Fan MailTechnology companies often talk about products, features, and capabilities when customers simply want to know one thing: “How will this help my business?”In this episode of Joey Pinz Discipline Conversations, Jennifer Baier Anaya, Senior Vice President of Global Marketing at Ingram Micro, explains why MSPs must move beyond product-centered messaging and start communicating measurable business value.Jennifer shares what MSPs should ask when choosing a distribution partner, why repeating the same growth playbook will not produce different results, and how distributors can help partners make better use of their money, people, and technology.She also offers a wonderfully clear distinction between marketing and sales: marketing gives customers a reason to come to the table, while sales gives them a reason to close the deal. The conversation expands into leadership, vulnerability, coaching, peer groups, AI experimentation, and the importance of making every employee responsible for the customer experience.Jennifer also discusses growing up around two entrepreneurs, becoming an Ingram Micro “boomerang,” supporting Girls Inc. of Orange County, and why consistency gives creative people the structure required to make meaningful progress.Top Three Highlights
Fandom is universally understood no matter what language you speak, what tax bracket you're in or how you define football. Fans are just built differently because we all know what it means to love a little team so much it hurts.Fandom like that has existed for generations, but the way fans show up is drastically different now. Fans aren't just tuning in anymore. They want to be inside the moment, the roster, the play. There's so many more ways fans can live and breathe their team than just experiencing it in a stadium, on a field, or on the pitch.Nobody has built a bigger bridge between watching sports and playing them than Electronic Arts. From Madden to FC, Electronic Arts has turned the fan on the couch into the fan with the controller and made participation the whole point.

G&W Electric's vanadium flow + flywheel microgrid matched a full year of frequency regulation revenue in under three months Vanadium flow batteries rarely anchor a commercial microgrid, but G&W Electric built one around a solar, battery, and flywheel system at its Bolingbrook, Illinois headquarters. John Gounaris, VP of Global Marketing, and John Pederson, Principal Staff Engineer and the project's manager, walk Tim Montague through the build. G&W Electric manufactures switches, reclosers, and grid automation gear used across US utility grids, and its 121-year-old campus needed resilient power to protect production. The project runs on Intelligent Generation's earn, save, protect framework: earn through frequency regulation, save on capacity charges, protect with backup power. Tim presses the guests on capex, opex, and why they skipped lithium-ion. The conversation covers real storm performance in 2026, revenue swings, and how domestic vanadium sourcing shaped the battery choice.Gounaris and Pederson explain the choices behind one of the few flywheel microgrids in operation:Why did G&W skip lithium-ion for a vanadium flow battery?How does a flywheel hold full building load for 62 seconds?What earned G&W more in 10 weeks than all last year?How much of an industrial bill do capacity charges reach?Which US source supplied the vanadium, and why does it matter?How did the microgrid perform during the 2026 Chicago storms?Connect with GuestsJohn Gounaris | LinkedInJohn Pederson | LinkedInG&W Electric | Innovative Power Grid Solutions & Electrical Systems Support the showConnect with Tim Clean Power Hour Clean Power Hour on YouTubeTim on TwitterTim on LinkedIn Email tim@cleanpowerhour.com Review Clean Power Hour on Apple PodcastsThe Clean Power Hour is produced by the Clean Power Consulting Group and created by Tim Montague.

In this episode of Supercharge Marketing, host Thomas Klinger sits down with Melissa Day, who leads global marketing communications at Vishay Intertechnology and has spent her career untangling marketing operations across B2B and B2C. She's the person who gets called in when a company has too many tools, too much complexity, and not enough clarity on what's actually working. Melissa's story starts, fittingly, with a mistake. Early in her career, she built a webinar registration page in Marketo, hit publish, and went to bed proud of herself. Two weeks later her boss asked how many people had registered. The answer was zero. There was no confirmation, no thank-you page, no email. Just a form that led nowhere. "It was such a silly mistake that had such a huge impact to our program," she says. "It's probably why I'm so focused on ownership and accountability now, because I never want to be in that position again." That single failure shaped how she runs teams today: fewer tools, deeper trust, and a stubborn refusal to let automation replace judgment. Why You Should Care Every marketing team is being sold the same story right now: more automation, more AI, more tools, more speed. Melissa's conversation is a useful counterweight. She's not anti-automation. An automated abandoned cart email, the simplest kind of workflow, once helped her team connect to millions of dollars in sales for a B2B company using nothing more than an existing tool and a sharp observation in GA4. But she's just as clear about where automation quietly turns into a liability: nurture campaigns nobody remembers to turn off, one customer getting the same email seventeen times, tools that promise to replace a person entirely. Her rule of thumb is refreshingly unglamorous. You don't need the flashiest MarTech stack. You need to know exactly which problem each tool is solving, and you need someone accountable for watching what it does after launch. What You'll Learn Why the best ideas are often the cheapest ones. How a simple abandoned cart email, built with existing tools and zero budget, turned into a multi-million dollar win for a B2B companyHow to turn your sales team into a marketing channel. Why every customer conversation your sales team has is a brand touchpoint, and how marketing communications can arm them for itThe case for a 7-tool MarTech stack. Melissa's rule of thumb for knowing when your tech stack has grown past what your team actually needsWhere AI genuinely helps, and where it doesn't. Why her team uses AI to draft, refine, and challenge their own thinking, but never to replace a single end-to-end processWhat an accountability culture actually looks like. The mistake that shaped her leadership style, and why she'd rather own a failure early than automate her way around noticing it

Welcome to the Health Marketing Collective, where strong leadership meets marketing excellence.In today's episode, we're joined by Gwen Cantarera, Senior Director of Global Marketing at Nordic, for a deep dive into the critical role of alignment in organizational success and how marketing leaders can serve as catalysts for trust, connection, and strategic clarity. With experience leading global strategy, partner marketing, and communications for a complex healthcare consulting portfolio, Gwen brings a powerful perspective on breaking down silos and building bridges within healthcare organizations across the U.S., Canada, and Europe.The conversation focused on why alignment is more than process and documentation; it's fundamentally about relationships, vulnerability, and trust. Drawing from a rich entrepreneurial background, Gwen shared why marketing often sits in a unique position at the heart of an organization, able to both gather diverse perspectives and act as the nexus for communication between teams like sales, delivery, and internal counsel. The discussion explored how curiosity and emotional intelligence are indispensable for marketing leaders aiming to create shared understanding and move organizations in the same direction.Key Takeaways:Alignment Is Built on Relationships, Not Just Process: A key theme that emerged was that organizational alignment doesn't stem from more meetings or elaborate documentation but from frequent, informal, and transparent communication that builds trust. Gwen described how regular gut checks, open brainstorming, and a willingness to ask questions in real-time pave the way for true alignment across departments. It's the “sausage making” the unpolished, vulnerable moments that ultimately drive connection and understanding 08:35.Marketing as the Organizational Heartbeat: One concept discussed was marketing's unique vantage point. Marketing often has touchpoints with every part of the business, from delivery to sales to counsel, making it ideally positioned to collect diverse inputs and act as the connective tissue. If approached with curiosity, marketing is able to notice dissenting opinions, identify where teams are misaligned, and distill the core issues so the organization can move forward together 01:26.Vulnerability and Curiosity Are Essential Leadership Qualities: The discussion explored how effective marketing leaders model vulnerability by putting half-baked ideas forward for feedback and are not afraid to be corrected. This requires setting aside ego and demonstrating a willingness to learn in public, which encourages a culture where others feel safe to contribute openly. The willingness to “put down the wrong answer” is often the fastest way to arrive at the right one 14:08.Transparency Through Open Dialogue Drives Impact: Several points were raised about the importance of intentional, open forums like “True North,” where anyone from C-suite to front-line consultants can hear what marketing is working on, ask questions, and share feedback. These sessions open the doors not just for reporting, but for meaningful, cross-functional dialogue that surfaces blind spots, fosters psychological safety, and establishes trust as the foundation for passionate, productive conflict 16:14.Shared Language and Shared Purpose Accelerate Alignment: A key theme that emerged was the power of creating a common language and analogies to help diverse groups of engineers, clinicians, legal, and marketing work together effectively. When alignment is achieved, the organization will see messaging and positioning propagate organically, and leaders will notice their ideas reflected back by stakeholders without having to explain repeatedly. True alignment is visible in the pervasive, shared understanding and reference points adopted across teams 35:09.Thank you for tuning into the Health Marketing Collective, where together, we navigate the intersection of leadership, marketing, and healthcare transformation.Mentioned in this episode:Health Marketing Collective is Powered by InprelaThe Health Marketing Collective is powered by Inprela: a communications firm built for health brands determined to lead, not follow.

Recorded live at the Retail Technology Show at ExCeL London, in partnership with Flooid, host Graham Barrett speaks with senior leaders shaping the future of retail. His guests were: 1/ Donna Stevens, Senior VP, Global Marketing, Flooid 2/ Nigel Oddy, CEO, American Golf 3/ Shannon Osman, Head of Retail, Footasylum 4/ Richard Barnett, VP of EMEA & APAC Sales, Flooid 5/ Meriel Neighbour, Director of Technology Delivery and Transformation, River Island We start with Flooid's own Senior VP of Global Marketing, Donna Stevens, who sets the scene for the day. Donna explores the industry's shift away from “technology for technology's sake” and back toward human‑centred retail, where tech enhances, rather than replaces, meaningful interactions between shoppers and associates. She also unpacks the combined strengths of Flooid, GLORY and Acrylic, and how their integrated ecosystem helps retailers deliver connected, efficient, end‑to‑end experiences. Next, Nigel Oddy, CEO of American Golf, discusses how data‑driven technology is transforming one of the UK's most traditional sports. From launch monitors to personalised fittings and loyalty‑driven service, Nigel explains how tech supports expertise, elevates the customer journey, and keeps golfers coming back. We then hear from Shannon Osman, Head of Retail at Footasylum, who shares how the fast‑growing fashion retailer is rethinking communication, execution and employee experience for a 90% Gen Z workforce. Shannon reveals how tools like Zipline streamline store operations, why mobile‑first systems are essential, and how AI is already reshaping frontline empowerment. Richard Barnett, VP of EMEA & APAC Sales at Flooid, offers a global perspective on retailer priorities, from UK‑specific concerns around cybersecurity and resilience to APAC's acceleration toward frictionless experiences and AI‑enabled innovation. And finally, Meriel Neighbour, Director of Technology Delivery and Transformation at River Island, shares how the fashion retailer is modernising store operations, empowering teams, and navigating the realities of rapid digital acceleration. She discusses the importance of operational clarity, consistent execution, and the role of technology in enabling store teams to deliver the brand experience at scale. A wide‑ranging, insight‑packed episode exploring the realities, pressures and opportunities facing modern retail and how the right blend of people, process and technology can create truly magical in‑store experiences.
On this episode of The Jon Gordon Podcast, I sit down with John Olinger—author, consultant, and former Nike marketing leader—for an honest and insightful conversation about his new book, Worthy Wins. John's journey is shaped by both professional achievement and personal loss: from a decade with Nike working alongside elite athletes and the world's most advanced technology, to navigating the unexpected death of his father and the perspective-shifting realization that time is both scarce and uncertain. In our conversation, John shares the story behind Worthy Wins, the powerful concept of getting radically clear on what matters most, and why so many of us risk "winning" at the wrong things without ever realizing it. Together, we explore John's lessons from the corporate world—where clarity and alignment can mean the difference between organization-wide momentum and wasted effort—as well as his personal life, where the true measure of success lies in relationships and intentional living. John opens up about the tensions between accomplishment and connection, the influence of mentors like Kobe Bryant, and practical strategies for identifying your own worthy wins, whether leading a team or navigating your family. About John, John Olinger spent a decade as a Brand and Digital Marketing leader for Nike and Jordan Brand, including three years captaining Global Marketing for Kobe Bryant. He reached a career inflection point after the unexpected passing of his father and left Nike in 2022 to become a consultant, author, and speaker. His first book, Worthy Wins, came out in 2025 to help individuals and organizations win in the places that matter most. John was recently tapped to become the President of Unitus, a Christian footwear and apparel brand, started by NBA player Jonathan Isaac. John is married to his AMAZING wife, Erin, and they are raising three energetic boys in Florida. Here's a few additional resources for you… Do you feel called to share your story with the world?

During Payson's trip to Italy last week to race The Hills, he stopped by the headquarters of his new tire sponsor, Pirelli, for a tour of the factory floor. Afterward, he sat down with Samuele Bressan, the company's Head of Global Marketing for its cycling division. They discuss why Pirelli, which is primarily known for its high-performance tires for luxury sports cars and Formula 1 racing, decided to start making gravel tires back in 2018, and how their products in that area have evolved since then. They also talk about the testing process (one of their recent tires was tested in no fewer than four wind tunnels), the importance of tire compound in gravel, and Samuele's history with freeriding and BMX.

Dr. Rico's presentation was titled “Of cows and bugs: Using insects as alternative feeds in dairy cattle nutrition.” He gives an overview of his presentation, noting that while insects are not a major focus of US dairy nutrition, they are of interest in other parts of the world as a protein source to substitute for soybean or fish meal. (2:12)Dr. Dou's talk was “Alternative feed for livestock: Opportunities and challenges to support a circular food system.” She explains that a typical agriculture/food system is linear: take, make, and waste, which generates a lot of food residues. Her research aims to recover and recycle some of the food residues from other industries and evaluate their suitability for livestock feeding. (3:51)Dr. Pinotti's presentation was titled “Alternative foodstuffs in dairy ruminant nutrition: Basic concepts, recent issues, and future challenges.” His research focuses on using “former food” for livestock feeding and feeding insects not only as a protein source but also as a potential mineral source. (5:38)Dr. Pinotti talks about the challenges around variability in alternative feedstuffs. He goes on to describe some of the bakery byproducts he has used in research rations. He calls them fortified versions of cereal. They contain quite a lot of starch and also contain a lot of fat. These ingredients are ideal for young monogastric animals and also have utility in lactating dairy cow diets. The panel discusses the EU animal protein ban and whether similar restrictions exist for animal fats. (10:16)Dr. Rico notes that insects contain between 40 and 70% protein, depending on the type of insect. Crickets, mealworms, and black soldier fly larvae are the most popular. The fly larvae have a higher fat content compared to crickets and are a good energy source for monogastrics like pigs, chickens, or fish. Less is understood about the feeding value of insects in ruminant diets, and Dr. Rico's lab has been conducting experiments to help define this in dairy cattle. He notes the chitin content of insects is a unique challenge due to its indigestibility. It comes out in the NDF fraction in a nutrient analysis, but it is animal fiber, not plant fiber. (21:27)The panel talks about the scalability of insects as a protein source and confirms that the theory that insects are a cheap protein source is different from reality at this time. The group talks about small-scale insect projects at universities and in Africa. (27:17)Dr. Pinotti explains that insects are quite good at accumulating minerals, bad and good. His group conducted an experiment using sodium selenite as the substrate and the insects made selenocysteine and selenomethionine. Future research will include zinc as well as selenium in the substrate, and insects will be fed in an in vivo trial to verify bioavailability. He does not envision issues with chitin interfering with bioavailability since the insects incorporate the minerals into amino acids. (34:27)Dr. Rico talks about the amino acid and fatty acid profiles in insects. Essential amino acid content is relatively similar to other common protein sources. Insects contain higher levels of lauric and myristic acids than other common sources which could pose a challenge for lactation diets. He explains that there is a low-fat source of black soldier fly larvae with around 12% fat, compared to 30% in the full-fat version. The panel talks about variability in protein and fat content by insect type and the substrate the insects were grown on. (37:35)Dr. Dou describes some of her circular feed research using fresh cull fruit (kiwi, citrus, apples; delivered daily) blended into the TMR. Later, she also ensiled the fruit with dry hay in an effort to preserve the fruit before spoilage. Dr. Pinotti notes that he has used cull material from a salad plant as feed as well. (44:31)Dr. Dou reports that one-third of food produced for human consumption never makes it to the human stomach. Globally, it's estimated that 1.6-1.9 billion tons of food are lost and wasted each year. The panel talks about the biggest challenges keeping us from using more former food products in livestock feeding. (50:54)Panelists share their take-home thoughts.

In this episode of Hurdle, Emily sits down with Erika Gabrielli, the Vice President of Global Marketing at HOKA. Erika shares the story of HOKA’s meteoric rise from a niche ultra-running brand to a $2 billion global powerhouse. She delves into the importance of brand authenticity, the power of listening to the community, and why "maximalism" in footwear is about more than just aesthetics—it's about performance and comfort. Erika also opens up about her professional journey, offering tactical advice for those looking to break into the sports industry, the importance of trusting your intuition, and how she balances the demands of a high-profile executive role with being a mother. IN THIS EPISODE The Evolution of "Maximalism": Erika traces HOKA's journey from being "counter-culture" in a minimalist era to leading the industry with its focus on solving the problem of running downhills faster. Scaling with Soul: How the brand reached its $2 billion revenue milestone while maintaining core values like curiosity and inclusivity. Marketing via Experience: Why Erika believes experiential marketing is the most powerful tool for building emotional connections and lasting memories with consumers. Co-Creation over Control: Shifting the marketing narrative from "talking at people" to "world-building" alongside the running community. Career "Harmony": Erika's perspective on rejecting the myth of work-life balance in favor of finding a daily "harmony" that allows for both professional leadership and motherhood. QUOTABLE MOMENTS On Marketing & Community "It’s not about controlling the narrative ... it’s much more about embracing that idea of co-creation. It’s a shift from talking at people to being in a space where we’re doing more world-building." "In terms of greatest brand building, it comes from an experience because it evokes a memory ... that memory evokes emotion, and that’s what always is going to bring people back to a brand." "The work is never done. We can talk about ourselves all day long, but if it's not directly drawn to that consumer insight and how we're solving problems for them, it's not going to pass the bar." On Leadership & Intuition "The paranoid survive. You're always looking around corners to where there's opportunity but also where there's risk. Part of that to me is also tied to trusting your intuition." "It's not always the loudest voice in the room, it's not always the most senior voice in the room that is sharing the right paths or the right ideas." "The only person that's truly going to bet on you is you. Have the inner confidence to know that. You won't know until you try, and sometimes you won't know until you fail and you try again." On Life "Harmony" "I stopped looking for balance a few years ago. I think it's unrealistic. I switched my language into finding harmony. Harmony is about the acknowledgment that I’m not going to be perfect at all the roles I have to play, and that’s okay."
