Most brands talk about standing out. Very few actually do it. The ones that win are the ones willing to take a swing, sometimes even a wild one.That's exactly what GoDaddy did with the “Act Like You Know” campaign, a Super Bowl ad that became a cultural moment because of its boldness. In this episode, we explore the marketing lessons behind it with special guest Sydney Sloan, Chief Marketing Officer at G2.Together, we explore what B2B marketers can learn from emotional storytelling, influencer culture, and why building brand in the age of AI requires creativity, boldness, and a willingness to have a little fun.About our guest, Sydney SloanSydney Sloan is a visionary marketing leader with a track record of driving growth and innovation in the tech industry. As CMO of G2, the world's largest and most trusted software marketplace, Sydney is at the forefront of shaping the company's strategic direction. Sydney previously held CMO roles at compliance automation software company Drata, sales tech leader Salesloft, and cloud content management visionary Alfresco.What B2B Companies Can Learn From GoDaddy's “Act Like You Know” Campaign:Take bold swings. Safe marketing doesn't get noticed. To capture attention, B2B brands have to be willing to step outside the comfort zone and take real creative risks. As Sydney shared, “Take a big swing. Go do something outside of your comfort zone.” Boldness is the difference between blending in and breaking through.Your brand is the moat. With paid tactics getting harder, brand is the lasting advantage. It's not about clicks or keywords anymore. It's about the emotional connection people feel. As Sydney says, “Brand is right. It's the emotional connection that you actually build between a brand, which is not a person… and the audience.” In the age of AI, trust and resonance are the true differentiators.Influencers aren't just for B2C. Big-budget companies might hire celebrities, but every B2B brand can find ways to put people at the center of their story. It's about connection, not just reach. Sydney explained, “You can still use influencers, you can still have people connecting to people and doing it in creative ways.” In B2B, credibility often comes best through people, not platforms.Quote“We gotta go back and invest in brand. And what does that mean, and how do I do it? It's not the old playbook. That thing is gone. Display, out the windows. Google search, out the window. We are all at the starting line together. And whoever's the most creative and figures out this new era we're in has an unfair advantage.”Time Stamps[00:55] Meet Sydney Sloan, CMO at G2[01:17] Why GoDaddy's “Act Like You Know” Campaign[03:55] The Role of Influencers in B2B Marketing[11:39] The Role of CMO at G2[13:19] Understanding GoDaddy's “Act Like You Know” Campaign[19:32] B2B Marketing Lessons from GoDaddy's “Act Like You Know” Campaign[33:29] The Power of Creative Marketing[37:50] Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Sydney on LinkedInLearn more about G2About Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

ITPM Flash provides insight into what professional traders are thinking about in the markets RIGHT NOW! In this episode, Edward Shek dives into the cracks forming in the SaaS business model and what it could mean for major players like Salesforce (CRM). From commoditization of code and AI-driven efficiency pressures to the dominance of hyperscalers swallowing entire markets, the moat around many software companies is vanishing fast. We look at examples like GoDaddy, Wix, and Duolingo to show how pricing power is collapsing, before turning to Salesforce itself—where slowing growth, high CapEx, and a reliance on efficiency gains raise big questions about valuation. With the market crowded on the long side, we explore a November put spread structure that targets a 20% de-rating and a potential 450% return if the bear case plays out.

How Long Does It Take to Rank SEO Webpages on Google & AI? with SEO Expert, Favour Obasi-ike, MBA, MSThe We Don't PLAY podcast host discusses how long it takes for SEO web pages to rank on Google and AI search engines, emphasizing that there's no single answer, ranging from days to months or even years depending on website history and consistent updates. I highlight the importance of submitting websites to Google Search Console, understanding domain and hosting, and strategically creating content that answers questions. They differentiate between Google's organic impressions and AI's "earned SEO"or earned impressions, underscoring that being visible on Google is a prerequisite for AI search visibility. The discussion also touches on content velocity, the value of a consistent online presence, and how to use tools and strategies to improve search engine optimization for both traditional and AI-driven searches.FAQs about this episode1. How long does it typically take for a new webpage to rank on Google and AI search engines?For a brand new website or webpage, it generally takes around 3 to 6 months to start ranking significantly on Google and AI search engines. For an existing website or webpage, it can take days to weeks to significantly show up on Google and AI search engines. However, the speaker highlights a case where an article ranked in just two days. This rapid ranking is attributed to the website's existing credibility, similar to having a good credit score with a bank. Google and AI prioritize established entities. For entirely new content, especially if it's the first time a link has surfaced on the internet, it can even rank within 24 hours. The key takeaway is that it's a marathon, not a sprint, and consistent effort is crucial for long-term gains.2. What are the foundational steps to ensure a website can even appear on Google and AI search results?Before any SEO efforts can be effective, your website needs to be visible to search engines. The first crucial step is to have a website that Google can "see." This involves submitting your website to Google Search Console, which acts as Google's internet service provider for your site. Without this submission, your website isn't connected to Google's internet, making it invisible to their indexing systems. Think of it like a book not being in a library's inventory; it can't be found. Additionally, your website needs proper hosting (e.g., WordPress, Hostinger, GoDaddy), as a domain alone isn't enough to make it a functional, searchable website.3. How do traditional SEO and AI search results differ, and what does "earned SEO" mean in this context?The speaker distinguishes between traditional SEO and AI searches by introducing the concept of "earned SEO." Traditional SEO focuses on organic impressions, where your content naturally ranks based on relevance and quality. AI searches, on the other hand, are described as "earned impressions." This means that AI platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Grok look for the top results already showing up on Google. Therefore, if your website isn't ranking organically on Google in the first place, it's impossible for it to show up in AI search results. "Earned SEO" suggests that your presence and visibility on AI platforms are a consequence of having already "earned" strong organic rankings on traditional search engines. AI searches also have a shorter, often 24-hour, countdown timer for relevance, emphasizing rapid content updates and a broad presence across different platforms.4. Why is consistent content updating and strategy crucial for long-term SEO success?SEO is not a one-time fix; it requires continuous effort. Google (and now AI) periodically "deletes" or de-prioritizes old, irrelevant content from its servers if it's not updated. The concept of "tokenization" refers to the duplicate copy of your webpage that Google remembers, and if this isn't refreshed, your content will lose visibility. Therefore, consistently updating existing articles (even minor edits) and publishing new content with a clear strategy and plan are vital. This continuous effort creates a "spiderweb" of interconnected content, signaling to search engines that your website is active, relevant, and authoritative.5. What role does "content velocity" play in effective marketing and SEO?Content velocity refers to how quickly you can create and distribute relevant content across various platforms. Beyond just quality (answering questions and providing value), the speed at which you produce and share content significantly impacts your reach and ranking potential. Distributing content on platforms like Facebook, Pinterest, Clubhouse, LinkedIn, and various podcast directories (Apple Podcast, Spotify, Amazon Music) creates numerous backlinks and brand mentions. This widespread presence, coupled with consistent new content, signals authority and relevance to search engines, leading to increased visibility and better ranking opportunities over time.6. How can businesses leverage diverse online platforms to enhance their search engine visibility?Businesses should aim for a multi-platform strategy to maximize their visibility. This includes having a robust website, a consistent podcast presence across various directories (Apple, Spotify, Amazon), an active social media presence (Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, TikTok), and engaging email marketing. Each of these platforms, when properly optimized with relevant content and clear calls to action (like linking back to your website), contributes to a stronger online footprint. For example, a podcast episode appearing on 10 different directories means 10 backlinks to your website, significantly boosting its authority and discoverability. The more widely your brand is mentioned and linked, the more search engines trust and prioritize your content.7. What are "commercial blogs" and why are they becoming increasingly important in the age of AI-powered search?Commercial blogs are informational content designed to answer specific user queries that have a commercial intent, even if indirectly. The speaker emphasizes that while general informational questions like "What time is it?" are common, the trend is moving towards more specific queries, often posed to AI assistants or search engines, that imply a need for a product or service ("What are the best shoes to get in this store?"). If your business isn't creating content that directly or indirectly answers these commercially oriented questions, you risk being "off the radar." The goal is to create content that not only provides value but also subtly guides users towards your offerings, making your website a source for solutions that lead to conversions.8. What does "your voice is your invoice" mean in the context of online presence and business growth?"Your voice is your invoice" encapsulates the idea that actively putting out your expertise and value in the online sphere directly leads to financial reward. This "voice" isn't just speaking aloud; it includes all forms of content creation: social media posts, website content, emails, and participation in online discussions (like speaking on Clubhouse stages). By consistently providing value and answering questions through your content, you gain recognition, establish authority, and attract your ideal audience. The more you "speak up" and share your knowledge, the more you get "paid" in terms of leads, clients, and revenue. It also serves to repel those who are not a good fit, allowing you to focus your efforts on genuine opportunities.Digital Marketing Resources:>> Join our exclusive SEO Marketing community>> SEO Optimization Blogs>> Book Complimentary SEO Discovery Call>> Subscribe to We Don't PLAY PodcastBrands We Love and SupportLoving Me Beauty | Buy Vegan-based Luxury ProductsUnlock your future in real estate—get certified in Ghana today!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It appears InfinityFree may be a bit more powerful than I gave it credit for. Check out Youtuber "Digicitor." His video entitled "How to Create a Free Website with InfinityFree (Live Step-by-Step Tutorial)"shows you how to use InfinityFree with WordPress and Kadence AI website templates and editor. Check out his link.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZG3RSyHL-k&t=923sIn my old podcast episode earlier this year I reviewed InfinityFree. I was not at all satisfied or impressed by their free Website Builder in their control panel. I was disappointed, found it frustrating, ugly, and honestly quite useless. In efforts to save on hosting expenses I had migrated a website from Godaddy (using their domain name at a purchased fee as well as a monthly hosting subscription up to $21). As the rates kept increasing, and I needed to save where I could due to the LA fires limiting my work flow, I sought InfinityFree as an alternative as my go-to of Hostinger was no longer free, as has been the case over the years. Many hosting sites are not free these days. You might at best get a lengthy trial with Shopify for 90 days at a nice discount, but still not totally free.

Damian Fowler (00:00):I'm Damian Fowler.Ilyse Liffreing (00:02):And I'm Ilyse Liffreing. And welcome to this edition of The Big Impression.(00:09):You might be wondering, wait, what? Isn't this The Current Podcast? I'm here to listen to brand marketers talk about the highs and lows of their brand campaign. I know I am. Well, rest assured, we've just had a little bit of a brand refresh. We're now the big impression, andDamian Fowler (00:27):That's official shout out to our creative team for the new name, which I really love actually.Ilyse Liffreing (00:32):So without further ado, let's kick off this new season with a great guest.Damian Fowler (00:39):And today we are delighted to be joined by Tim Hoppin, the chief brand and creative officer at SAP.Ilyse Liffreing (00:45):Now, SAP makes software that helps big companies run everything from payroll to supply chains, all in one integrated system. It was recently hailed by brand Z as a 23rd most valuable brand on the planet.Damian Fowler (01:00):And no doubt, some of that's thanks to Tim. He's a brand builder who spearheaded the tech company's recent B2B campaign, unstoppable, which was shortlisted at this year's Cannes Lion, and that's where we sat down with him. So we're going to start out with this sort of philosophical frame. Ryan, you have said that a brand must influence everything a company makes, says and does. Could you explain that philosophy a little bit?Tim Hoppin (01:29):Yeah, sure. I think a lot of people even just kind of reduce it down to branding, like the colors and things like that and maybe the expression a little bit. But the way I think about a brand transmits meaning to people, and it does that through lots of different formats. So when I say what a brand is, what you make, you're actually affecting the service or the product that you're actually delivering to the world. So my classic example is Harley Davidson. Those motorcycles don't use plastic and they do that very specifically because they want the brand to be expressed a certain way in products. And then when I say a brand is what a company says, that's your marketing, your communication, and then what you do is your activations, your choices on what kind of companies you're going to invest in and so on and so forth. But it's all three.Ilyse Liffreing (02:25):Yeah. Can you walk us through your recent SAP campaign, which I believe is called Unstoppable?Tim Hoppin (02:31):The campaign was built to communicate a new way we're going to market with our products, which is bringing together all the different parts of the software that we make. We tie together, we call it the SAP Business suite, and we're dramatizing it with sort of metaphors that bring it to life. For instance, sometimes if you're in business and you're in charge of something, like being head of it could feel like you're literally underwater. So we recreated what literally happens when the entire office goes underwater. So we filmed the entire office submerged underwater, and people are trying to go about their business. And of course at the end we introduced our product, which kind of drains it and gets things back to normal. And another example, sometimes when you're trying to innovate, it's like an uphill battle. So you start off and the entire building tilts on its side and we kind of go in this metaphor world where the COO is trying to march up a hill and things are coming at her and she's trying to dodge it. So they're all metaphors that we can kind of associate, but they're also very real stories. Every one of 'em is based on an actual customer story.Ilyse Liffreing (03:47):Very fun. What would you say are the key consumer business insights behind this campaign?Tim Hoppin (03:54):Yes, because purely B2B, our research is a little bit, you have to be more precise in getting those insights. So a lot of it has to do with doing interviews because there's not like a survey you're going to send out to a bunch of CFOs or CEOs and they're going to respond. They're pretty busy people. But we can do other things like get some individual interviews. We do quant studies as well as well, but it's easier to get real insights when you actually talk to real people. So more like anthropology research, I'd say, than sort of traditional marketing broad surveys.Ilyse Liffreing (04:35):Some people might say that emotional storytelling and B2B business campaigns are almost like a oxymoron of sorts. Is that at a conundrum would you say,Tim Hoppin (04:51):How many times have you seen a piece of content that's using just stock imagery talking about functional stuff and you just ignore it? And so there's this perception that that's what everybody wants and does. We are seeing a renaissance in B2B where emotional, strong, insight-driven work is what works. And so I think you're going to see more and more of that as people realize that it actually is more effective.Damian Fowler (05:22):It's interesting to me that the B2B is being put out on what you might consider consuming channels. I'm just curious to hear your take on why that was important and basically how did you activate this campaign and where did you want to put it?Tim Hoppin (05:38):Yeah, so our media team and working with their agency took the brief that we're trying to do two things. We're trying to both lead people that are maybe in market ready to buy, lead them into our ecosystem and get in touch with our salespeople. But we also recognize that SAP as a 50 plus year old company has some perceptions out there and we need to constantly reeducate the marketplace about who we are, what we stand for, and then also present ourselves to the next generation. 71% of all B2B buyers are either millennials or Gen Z, 71%.Damian Fowler (06:20):Wow, that's a amount.Tim Hoppin (06:22):Yeah, it's a lot. So to become and stay relevant, even as the world's largest enterprise software company, you can't rest on your laurels. So some of those media tactics, like being in airports or some television buys in very targeted ways is designed to get broad enough reach so that we can get people familiar with us and start to understand what we stand for so that when they're ready to buy, they're not just hearing about us for the first time. And then of course we're looking at the real data, what's happening out there? Happy to say that all of our creative work has got five stars, or hybrid is the highest you can get the system one, we're beating every industry benchmark. And then in market, the performance that we're seeing in the market is also way above all of our benchmarks. So we're excited because as we like to say, if creative doesn't work, it's not working.Ilyse Liffreing (07:14):Was there an insight that you say you took away?Tim Hoppin (07:18):I had a strong hypothesis that there would be some disruption just from visually the way the campaign is presented, especially the films. I think the thing that's really surprised me as we did our research, what a chord. It's striking with people. There's one comment that came through just from the qual study that we did where people were saying, you finally get me. Not only is the content visually arresting, but emotionally resonant, people really feel seen. And to your comment earlier about like, Hey, B2B is seen as traditional and there's such a, I'd say a traditional and sort of safe approach to just use business people doing businessy things and boats and cars moving fast and satellites flying by the camera and putting a logo at theIlyse Liffreing (08:14):End. I've seen that one. Yeah.Tim Hoppin (08:15):Yeah, I've made that one unfortunately. But to really take this risk and tell interesting stories that are based on real human insights and have emotion and are disruptive and have the very people that we're trying to reach go, thank you, thank you for seeing us, telling us a story that's different. I have this saying, if you want to be disruptive, you actually have to disrupt. And so there's also sort of a hungered SAP, we have to reinvent ourselves. We are in our product and our go-to market. And so the brand platform that we created over the last three years, now this is the next level, is taking the campaign higher. So I think we're on this momentum of transformation, and so it just felt natural to do it. And the way we're investing the does part's also coming true, frankly, the way we're investing in AI and kind of transforming what's possible from a 50 plus year old company. It's exciting.Ilyse Liffreing (09:12):Let's talk a little bit about ai.Tim Hoppin (09:14):Yeah, sure.Ilyse Liffreing (09:15):On that note, how are you guys investing in AI and what do you foresee(09:16): Damian Fowler (09:23):Creation play? Yeah, as a creative person, do you feel threatened by it orTim Hoppin (09:26):Not at all.Damian Fowler (09:29):Jump on your question. That is the question.Tim Hoppin (09:31):Yeah, it's the question of the week. Big question. It's come up so much. Actually, I was talking about this the other day.Ilyse Liffreing (09:35):You're probably tired of people talking about it.Tim Hoppin (09:38):No, I actually think what's been really refreshing is two things, always the first part of your question, which is as a company, we are basically transforming into a data and AI company. I think pretty much anybody who's going to survive has to do that. So we've made software for 50 years, but what all the companies that run on our platforms, it's the data that's the most valuable part, of course. And so the AI that we've developed is allowing people to run their businesses completely different ways. So we're investing in that as a creative person.(10:14):We're also starting to experiment with ai, for instance, trying to understand how people might react to our messages. I don't think that AI is going to replace creatives, but I think creatives are going to have to change. So you're going to have to act more like a director than a executor. I remember when I started in the business a few years ago, 25 ish, I remember the people who were still laying down typography by hand and everything. Every piece of printed material was proofed. The proofs would come into the agency and people were looking at it. And so all those people's jobs changed. And that's all this is. Human creativity will not and cannot be replicated, but it will require us to get better at being creative and know how to use these new tools.Ilyse Liffreing (11:10):Yeah, that's a great answer. We've transformed so much in 25 years. It's kind of bafflingDamian Fowler (11:18):Completely. Yeah.Ilyse Liffreing (11:19):So you're an agency guy. It does seem that B2B is getting better. Is it because of all these agency folks moving in? How?Tim Hoppin (11:30):Yeah, I think so. We're seeing, look, the agency world has changed and is contracting in some ways and it's really tough, but also it's creating opportunities for those same creative talents to move. And so it becomes a, I'd say rebalancing. I remember early in my career if you worked in a in-house agency, it was sort of looked down on like you're just not good enough for a real creative job, which was totally mean and not nice. But that was the perception. And now it's completely not that Some of the best work that's being produced is coming from in-house agencies. So you're seeing a migration from, and frankly, it's caused by clients. So clients are reducing what they're willing to pay agencies, which puts economic pressure on the agencies and they have to downsize. And then those great talented people need to pay their mortgage and put their kids through college and they're coming in house. And so my team is almost exclusively on my creative group, our exag agency people. And that's what I am too. And so that actually makes us better clients so we can work with our agencies and we know how to work with them and who they are, and sometimes we even know them from past lives. So it just makes the work better all around.Ilyse Liffreing (12:52):Is there anything in the creative realm that you're looking at or data about creativity that you think brands should co-op for B2B campaigns?Tim Hoppin (13:05):Yeah, I absolutely, interestingly, as we've seen this sort of spike in the AI chatter and everybody talking about it and sort of wringing their hands about what it's going to do for our jobs, there's been sort of a pushback in a really healthy way where people are saying, actually no humanity and really putting AI in its place, which is, it's just another tool. Yes, it's going to disrupt jobs. That is a true statement 100%, but it's not going to replace human creativity. And so as I said before, that reality is getting people back to what's important, which is storytelling, human storytelling, creativity, finding those interesting combinations that only humans can do. And that's where you're starting to see that come to life in B2B marketing is that, I said it earlier, I think it's a bit of a renaissance and a not cheesy way.Ilyse Liffreing (14:05):We have some last minute Rapid, rapid and fire, fire.Tim Hoppin (14:08):And this is your homeDamian Fowler (14:08):Stretch. Oh yeah, stretch. Stretch. Is there anything, Tim, that you're obsessed with figuring out right now?Tim Hoppin (14:17):Yeah, how to keep getting better. It's like I love seeing what people can do and I want to use new tools and new solutions. And so I'm trying to figure out where's all this AI stuff going to go and where's it going to be helpful? And how do you avoid the pit of generic communications that is a real threat from ai?Ilyse Liffreing (14:44):Did you have a favorite Cannes moment that made you stop and say, wow?Tim Hoppin (14:49):Yeah, I was in line for a session and there was a group of young lions, and this one kid, he had to be maybe 18, maybe 19, he still has his braces on, and he was so excited, so excited to be there and to go in. And I've been really worried that our industry doesn't have the next generation coming up. And I saw this kid and I was just so relieved that this kid was as excited about the start of his career as I was when I started. I mean, I would fall asleep with award animals to learn how to do this stuff better and that you could feel the energy from this kid. It was awesome.Damian Fowler (15:39):I'm so happy that a lot of students come to Cannes.Ilyse Liffreing (15:43):It is great. It fills your heart. Yeah, it does. It does.Damian Fowler (15:48):Last one.Ilyse Liffreing (15:49):So who beyond SAP, who else is doing B2B brand work very well in your view?Tim Hoppin (15:56):Well, GoDaddy won the Grand Prix for, I thought, a really fun piece of work, and it's targeted to small business, so I think you can be a little bit more courageous than sometimes we get to, but I just loved it for its wackiness and just audacious. And then also the way that they really just kind of carried across different mediums. The thing that was the best about it was they're trying to make the case for starting a small business, and they literally did that with a celebrity. It was brilliant.Ilyse Liffreing (16:41):And that's it for this edition of The Big Impression.Damian Fowler (16:44):This show is produced by Molten Hart. Our theme is by Love and caliber, and our associate producer is Sydney Cairns.Tim Hoppin (16:50):And remember, 71% of all B2B buyers are either millennials or Gen Z.Damian Fowler (16:57):I'm Damian. And I'm Ilyse,Tim Hoppin (16:59):And we'll see you next time.

Ever wondered what happens to those domain names gathering digital dust in your GoDaddy account? In this episode of The Index, host Alex Kehaya sits down with Michael Ho, Co-founder of D3, to explore how blockchain technology is transforming the overlooked world of domain trading and ownership.The domain industry hasn't changed much since the '90s. Selling a valuable name still involves clunky escrow services, manual transfers, and broker fees that can eat up 25% or more of your sale. D3 is changing that—by tokenizing domains as programmable digital assets on-chain.What makes D3's approach unique is its seamless integration. Instead of building a new siloed system, they're bringing Web3 functionality directly to where domain owners already are—through familiar registrar interfaces. Soon, you'll be able to tokenize, trade, lease, or fractionalize your domains with just a few clicks.At the heart of it all is Doma, the first DNS-compliant blockchain network. D3's DomainFi platform runs on Doma, bridging traditional Web2 domains with Web3 ecosystems. The result? New sources of liquidity, distribution, and innovation—unlocking value in what's currently a $350B+ real-world asset class.The biggest surprise? Half of all domains aren't even being used—just sitting idle. D3's technology brings those names to life, enabling domain holders to tap into new financial use cases, from collateral to leasing and beyond. And with the recent launch of .sol as an official top-level domain on Solana, the bridge between Web2 and Web3 is getting stronger by the day.Whether you're a domain investor, builder, or simply curious about the next wave of internet infrastructure, this conversation reveals what's possible when the world's original digital assets go decentralized.

Many companies rely too heavily on what worked during earlier growth stages, underinvest in systems, and fail to evolve leadership. In a rapidly shifting market flooded with noise, how can brands future-proof their strategy and leverage AI without losing their human touch? As an AI chatbot developed by xAI, Grok outlines a detailed 12-month growth playbook rooted in strategic diversification, operational upgrades, and smarter hiring. Grok emphasizes the importance of accurate attribution when expanding marketing channels, leveraging AI for hyper-personalized customer journeys, and setting strict performance benchmarks to know when to pivot or cut tactics. However, AI is not a silver bullet; if a brand lacks a compelling product or clear value proposition, no algorithm can compensate. AI should act as a strategic enhancer rather than a crutch. In today's exclusive episode of the Up Arrow Podcast, William Harris interviews Grok, created by xAI, about using AI to scale e-commerce brands. Grok shares what an AI-first brand will look like in 2030, whether AI can become truly conscious, and the ethical concerns about its rapid development.
