Chris breaks down the backlash to Ring's Super Bowl “Search Party” ad, which aimed to help find lost pets but reignited privacy concerns over AI-powered neighborhood surveillance. He also explores the surge of AI-themed Super Bowl ads, Apple's delayed Siri overhaul, rising DDR5 RAM prices driven by AI demand, SpaceX's Crew-12 launch, and the record-breaking sale of a rare Pokémon card. -Want to be a Guest on a Podcast or YouTube Channel?

Support my Show Sponsor: Best Godaddy Promo Codes Get 1Password Full Summary – Main story — Ring Search Party: Chris summarizes Ring's first Super Bowl ad (viewed by “over 120 million”) which promoted “Search Party,” a feature that lets users upload a photo of a missing pet and alerts neighborhood Ring cameras if they spot it. He explains the ad was intended as wholesome but provoked fast backlash: viewers and privacy advocates (including the ACLU and lawmakers) warned the tech could be repurposed to track people. Chris recounts Ring's prior controversies (police partnerships, an FTC settlement in 2023 over employee access to videos) and says the ad brought those issues back into focus. He reports that four days after the ad, Amazon canceled a planned integration with Flock Safety (Amazon called it a resources-and-timing decision). He notes Search Party is opt-in for pets but emphasizes the potential scale of surveillance when aggregated across millions of Ring devices and that the underlying AI capability isn't going away. – Super Bowl AI ads and Anthropic vs. OpenAI: Chris says AI-related ads made up about 23% of Super Bowl commercials. He describes Anthropic's debut ads (titles like “betrayal, deception, treachery, and violation”) positioning Claude as ad-free for paying users and taking a shot at OpenAI's ad plans; Sam Altman criticized those ads as dishonest. He mentions Svedka ran a primarily AI-generated Super Bowl ad and that Anthropic saw a ~6.5% traffic jump and an ~11% rise in daily active users after the game. Chris frames the ads as a sign the AI assistant wars have moved to mainstream consumer marketing and raises the question of whether AI assistants will be ad-supported or paid/ad-free. – Sponsor spot: A lengthy GoDaddy sponsorship read with pricing and offers: economy hosting $6.99/month for a year with free domain, email, and SSL; WordPress hosting $12.99/month with same inclusions; domain names $11.99; GoDaddy website builder offers a 30-day free trial for certain plans. Chris urges listeners to use the provided promo links to support the show. – Apple March 4 event and Siri delay: Chris reports Apple confirmed a March 4 product launch (iPhone 17e, MacBook Pros with M5 Pro and M5 Max, an 8th-gen iPad Air and a 12th-gen iPad). He says the AI-powered Siri overhaul planned for iOS 26.4 hit testing snags and some features were pushed to iOS 26.5 in May and iOS 27 in September. He notes Apple claims Siri improvements are still coming in 2026 but have been repeatedly delayed, and frames Apple as focusing on hardware and on-device processing. – DDR5 RAM price surge: Chris covers a global memory shortage driven by AI data-center demand. He explains manufacturers shifted production to high-bandwidth AI memory with much higher margins, reducing consumer DDR supply and forcing adoption of DDR5. He gives figures: DDR5 64 GB kits rose from around $200 in mid-2025 to over $1,000 (a ~300% increase across six months, with another ~50% spike in the last month). He says inventories have fallen to about eight weeks and analysts don't expect meaningful relief until late 2027 or 2028. He warns PC builders and buyers to brace for higher upgrade and system prices. – SpaceX Crew-12 launch: Chris recounts NASA Crew-12 as a replacement following an earlier medical evacuation that left ISS short-staffed. He reports SpaceX launched four astronauts on Feb. 13 aboard a Falcon 9 with the Dragon capsule Freedom (liftoff at 5:15 AM EST) and docked on Valentine's Day. Crew named: NASA commander Jessica Mayer, NASA pilot Jack Hathaway, ESA mission specialist Sophie Adadott, and Russian cosmonaut Andrei (Andrei Fedoo/Fedu — host stumbles on the name). The mission is planned for eight months; the Falcon 9 first stage landed back at pad 40. Chris frames the launch as good news and notes ongoing reliance on SpaceX. – Pokémon card/collectibles auction: Chris discusses a record trading-card sale. He refers to Logan Paul and the Pikachu Illustrator card (one of 39 ever made). He mentions earlier reports of card sales (at first saying a card sold for “like six and a half million dollars,” then later saying Logan Paul sold one for “sixteen point five million dollars”) and then details a live auction via Golden in which the card sold for “sixty million four hundred ninety two thousand dollars,” called a new Guinness World Record for the most expensive trading card sold at auction. Chris notes Logan Paul bought his PSA 10 card in 2021 for $5.2M, the auction had about 97 bids, and the buyer was venture capitalist Adrien Scaramucci (who had the card placed on a $75,000 diamond necklace). Chris comments on collectors vs. investors, how wealthy buyers and influencers can drive pricing, and cautions that most fans shouldn't expect to find such returns.

This week on Call Her Creator, I'm getting personal. For a long time, I believed success meant constant hustle, endless availability, and always being “on.” From the outside, my business was thriving. But behind the scenes, I was exhausted, overwhelmed, and missing moments with the people I love most. The wake-up call came at my son's baseball game when I realized I was so focused on work that I missed one of his biggest moments. That day changed everything. In this episode, I'm sharing my honest story of stepping into my “soft girl era” as a business owner and mom. Not soft as in giving up. Soft as in calm, intentional, and no longer wearing burnout like a badge of honor. I'm walking you through the 10 practical changes I made to slow down, protect my peace, set boundaries, and redesign my business so it supports my life instead of consuming it. If you've ever felt torn between wanting a big, successful business and wanting to be fully present for your family, this episode is for you. You don't have to choose between ambition and presence. You just have to build differently. And if you're ready for your own reset, check out my 6-Week Reinvention Challenge. It's designed to help you slow down, get clear, and realign your goals with the life you actually want to live.

In today's episode of Call Her Creator (powered by Stan), I'm sitting down with the incredible Shannon Gillette. She's a wife, boy mom, one of the top Realtors in Arizona, founder of The Gillette Group at Real Broker, and she's been featured on HGTV. Oh, and she's built an Instagram brand that's closing real business with nearly 100,000 followers. But here's what I love most: Shannon didn't start with a platform. She started from scratch in 2015 with no money, no clients, and zero followers. Now she leads a top-producing team selling hundreds of homes a year, and she credits one thing more than anything else. Instagram stories. This is not a fluff conversation. Shannon breaks down the systems, decisions, and behind-the-scenes effort that helped her build a personal brand that converts attention into income. We talk about how she treats Instagram like a reality show (not a commercial), why she posts five stories a day, how she uses video hooks to stop the scroll, and how she creates content that attracts the right people instead of trying to appeal to everyone. If you're a creator, entrepreneur, or service provider who wants to grow your audience and actually turn that growth into revenue, you're going to love this one. -Follow Katelyn on instagram -Follow Shannon on instagram Thank you to my sponsors: Stan: Join the Dare to Post Challenge-a 30-day challenge designed to help Creators turn their dream into actual momentum.

Welcome back to The Weekly Scroll. In this episode, we're breaking down the most important social media updates from the past week and what they actually mean for creators, business owners, and brands building on Instagram and Threads. This week brought confusion, security concerns, and a wave of new features being quietly tested across Meta platforms. Instead of panic headlines or surface-level updates, this episode focuses on what's real, what's noise, and how these changes connect to a much bigger shift in how social platforms want us to show up online. In this episode, we cover: Why so many Instagram users received unexpected password reset emails and what Instagram says actually happened Conflicting reports around a potential data leak and why situations like this create prime conditions for phishing and scams The bigger lesson around digital hygiene for creators whose Instagram is tied to income, leads, or brand deals Instagram's reported testing of a new “Top 5” Stories feature and what it signals about private sharing and exclusivity Why Instagram continues to push content away from public feeds and deeper into Stories, DMs, and smaller circles Threads testing Live Chat inside Communities and why Meta is prioritizing real-time conversation over passive engagement What this means for creators who teach, coach, or lead communities The content format quietly performing best on Instagram right now and why clarity and connection are outperforming trends This episode isn't about fear or chasing every new feature. It's about understanding the direction platforms are moving and adjusting your strategy accordingly. If Instagram or Threads play any role in your growth or income, this is one episode you don't want to miss.

What good is reach if you don't have resonance? In this transformative episode of Business of Story, host Park Howell sits down with Jay Acunzo to explore why clarity isn't enough for brand stories and how to transform expertise into influential public voice through premise development. --- ABOUT JAY ACUNZO --- Jay Acunzo is an author, speaker, and public speaking coach who helps experts become stronger public voices. He's written books about creativity and storytelling, and he's traveled the world giving keynotes to marketers and managers, dentists and designers, leaders and landscapers. His clients include bestselling authors, mainstage TED speakers, startup founders, and seven-figure coaches and consultants. Brands like Salesforce, GoDaddy, Zillow, and Mailchimp have trusted Jay to support some of their most visible projects. He began his career in sales and marketing at Google and HubSpot, and his own journey as a speaker has been featured in 3 different books. Jay's philosophy challenges conventional marketing wisdom: don't market more, matter more. Think resonance over reach. Don't be the best, be their favorite. --- WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER --- ✓ What a premise really is (and why it's different from a tagline, mission, or niche) ✓ The resonance over reach philosophy and why it creates more business impact ✓ How resonance works (using physics to understand the urge to act) ✓ The narrative argument framework: six beats that move audiences from skepticism to action ✓ Laddered messaging structure: We Want → We Need → We Hope ✓ Story 2.0: Why process alone isn't enough (you need practice and posture too) ✓ The critical difference between clarity and strength in brand storytelling ✓ How to develop your premise through iteration (not instant perfection) ✓ Why focus is something you pick, but clarity is something you build ✓ Real examples: How Jay helped Anne Handley refine her premise for ASAP: As Slow As Possible ✓ Premise examples from James Clear, Simon Sinek, Michelle Warner, and more ✓ How to apply premise thinking to products and services (StoryCycle Genie case study) --- KEY FRAMEWORKS REVEALED --- NARRATIVE ARGUMENT (6 Beats): What are their goals? What's their current approach? What are the problems with that approach? What root cause do you see? What change do they need? How do they implement it? LADDERED MESSAGING (3 Phrases): • We Want: Meet people where they're at • We Need: Your premise/philosophical change • We Hope: The grand transformation STORY 2.0 (3 P's): • Process: Story structure and frameworks • Practice: Regular creation and refinement • Posture: Seeing yourself as a storyteller --- MEMORABLE QUOTES --- The goal is not to market more, it's to matter more. What good is awareness if you don't have affinity? What good is reach if you don't have resonance? Don't be the best, be their favorite. Clarity doesn't mean strength. Clarity doesn't mean efficacy. Focus is something you pick. Clarity is something you build. --- ABOUT BUSINESS OF STORY --- The Business of Story podcast helps business owners and marketers master the art of storytelling to grow their brands and create meaningful impact. Hosted by Park Howell, creator of the StoryCycle System and ABT Framework, each episode features expert guests sharing proven strategies for business growth through authentic narrative.

Being a solo creator looks freeing on the outside, but behind the scenes it can feel overwhelming, isolating, and exhausting. In this episode of Call Her Creator, I'm pulling back the curtain on the parts of creator life no one talks about: burnout before it happens, decision fatigue, working alone for hours on end, and the pressure of being the only one responsible for everything. If you've ever felt tired but unable to slow down, unmotivated but still showing up, or lonely while building something you love, this episode is for you. I walk you through: How I manage my time when everything feels urgent The systems and routines that help me avoid burnout as a solo creator How to reduce decision fatigue so you're not mentally drained by noon What to do when isolation starts creeping in How to protect your work-life balance without sacrificing your goals This isn't a hustle-hard episode. It's an honest conversation about sustainability, boundaries, and building a creator business that supports your life instead of consuming it. You don't need to do this alone, and you don't need to burn yourself out to succeed. Listen in if you're ready to work smarter, protect your energy, and keep showing up without losing yourself in the process.

In our divided nation, there's one thing many of us seem to agree on: winter sucks. A recent study found that nearly half of Americans would skip winter if they could. Yet not everyone dreads the cold months. Psychologist Kari Leibowitz has spent years studying these winter-lovers, and she's arrived at a surprising truth: people who thrive this time of year aren't just born that way — they've learned to see the season differently. So can you. (This episode first aired in January 2025.)

In this episode of the TriMetric Roadmap Podcast, Scott and Jeff sit down with Mahesh M. Thakur, CEO of Decisive AI, to discuss how business owners can move from AI hype to AI results. Mahesh—one of the world's few Master Certified Stakeholder-Centered Coaches (MCC) and a former executive at Microsoft, Amazon, Intuit, and GoDaddy—shares how leaders can align their teams on a “True North,” integrate AI intelligently, and transform culture, execution, and bottom-line growth. You'll hear how 92% of AI investments currently fail, what separates the 8% that succeed, and how smaller companies can use AI to level the playing field with billion-dollar enterprises. ---- About Mahesh M. Thakur Mahesh M. Thakur is the Founder and CEO of Decisive AI, where he helps CEOs and leadership teams align on their True North and turn AI into ROI™. A former executive at Microsoft, Amazon, Intuit, and GoDaddy, Mahesh is among the world's top 0.1% of Master Certified Stakeholder-Centered Coaches (MCC). He's advised leaders at JPMorgan Chase, Meta, Google, Walmart, PayPal, and John Deere, helping them achieve measurable transformations—from doubling growth rates to cutting decision cycles by 40%. Connect: LinkedIn | Instagram | X (Twitter) ---- 1. What does “AI to ROI” mean? AI to ROI™ is Mahesh's framework for turning artificial intelligence investments into tangible business outcomes—revenue growth, cost savings, and cultural transformation. It blends technology strategy with human alignment. 2. Why do 90% of AI projects fail? Most fail because they lack a clear framework, leadership alignment, or measurable objectives. Companies often jump in due to FOMO, invest heavily, and never achieve integration or adoption that creates ROI. 3. Who should be investing in AI? Every business—from tech firms to law practices to construction companies—can benefit from AI. It's no longer limited to Big Tech; mid-market companies ($10M–$100M) can now compete on equal footing using accessible tools. 4. What is a “Test + Learn™” culture? It's a structured approach that allows organizations to experiment rapidly, measure outcomes, and scale only what works—turning innovation into a repeatable discipline. 5. How can small and mid-sized companies use AI effectively? Start by identifying one or two workflows where automation saves time or improves customer outcomes. Build simple pilots, collect data, and align leadership around shared metrics before scaling. 6. What is the “True North” concept in leadership? True North represents the organization's unifying direction—its mission, values, and goals. Mahesh helps CEOs and teams align on this so that AI and strategy serve the same purpose. 7. How does AI connect to leadership and faith? Mahesh believes great leaders must balance faith and data. Without alignment, AI becomes fear-driven. True mastery integrates wisdom, courage, and belief that technology should serve humanity, not replace it. 8. What's next for Decisive AI and Business Freedom Advisors? Scott and Mahesh announced upcoming collaborations to help business owners design both a Business Roadmap and an AI Roadmap for 2026.

Most people think confidence is about believing you'll succeed. Mark Manson knows better — it's about being comfortable with failure. After writing one of the best-selling nonfiction books of all time and spending nearly two decades studying human psychology, the author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck has cracked the code on why Gen Z is struggling with relationships, why therapy culture might be making us worse, and why your emotions are a system that needs managing just like your business. In this raw conversation, Mark breaks down the alarming statistics behind today's confidence crisis, why dating apps are optimizing for all the wrong things, and how adopting labels as identity actually amplifies your problems. We dive deep into the hidden costs of success, why the happiest country in the world has low expectations, and the brutal truth about why 20-25% of Gen Z has cut off at least one parent. He reveals why AI therapy is both promising and dangerous, the single question that exposes red flags on first dates, and why marrying well is the highest leverage decision of your entire life. But this isn't just about what's broken — it's about what actually works. Mark explains why failure is the only currency that matters, how to stop being a people pleaser without being a dick, and why your bank account reflects the difficult conversations you're willing to have. If you've ever felt like you're chasing happiness instead of meaning, or if you want to build real confidence that comes from action instead of affirmation, this episode will change how you think about success, relationships, and the problems you're willing to have in your life.

Most people think marriage is about love. James Sexton knows better — it's about survival. After handling 2,000+ divorces over 25 years, this legendary divorce attorney has seen it all: the affairs that start with attention instead of sex, the gestures that can end marriages, and the brutal truth that 53% of marriages end in divorce. In this raw, unfiltered conversation, James breaks down why half of all marriages fail and what the other half is doing right. From the real reason people cheat (hint: it's not what you think) to why Instagram is an infidelity-generating machine, James reveals the patterns that predict divorce with scary accuracy. We dive into the economics of relationships, why prenups are actually love letters, and how a dog can teach you more about marriage than any therapist. He shares the craziest prenup he's ever seen (10 pounds = $10,000 less in alimony), why "happy wife, happy life" is terrible advice, and the one question that softens even the most bitter couples. But this isn't just about what goes wrong — it's about what goes right. James explains why second marriages have better odds, how to fight fairly without weaponizing intimacy, and why the male equivalent of flowers might be exactly what you think it is. If you've ever wondered why some couples make it while others crash and burn, or if you want to save your relationship before it ends up in a lawyer's office, this episode will change how you think about love, commitment, and the bravest thing any human can do.

He kicks off the show by discussing an exciting breakthrough from NASA: the successful test flight of the X-59, an experimental aircraft designed to quiet the sonic boom, potentially paving the way for commercial supersonic flight over land. Ray notes that the X-59, which resembles a swordfish, recently completed its first test flight in California, focusing on functionality rather than speed. It is intended to gather data on the aircraft’s noise impact on communities, indicating a significant step towards improving commercial travel times. After this, Ray thanks the podcast’s sponsor, GoDaddy, highlighting their hosting services and mentioning various promotional offers. He encourages listeners to support the show directly through the GoDaddy links, emphasizing their reliability in supporting the podcast. Following the sponsor message, Ray transitions into another topic, discussing a new prototype transparent 4K monitor named the Phantom developed by Virtual Instruments. The monitor is designed to allow users to see their environment through the screen while achieving remarkable brightness levels. Next, he introduces an innovative AI model called Marble developed by Fei Fei Li's startup, World Labs. Ray explains that this platform enables users to generate 3D worlds from simple prompts, marking a shift towards spatial intelligence in AI, which is essential for gaming, robotics, and visual effects. Ray then moves on to discuss TypeScript’s rise in the programming world, which has overtaken JavaScript and Python as the most used language on GitHub due to its compatibility with AI-assisted coding. He continues with news about UbiTech’s Walker S2 humanoid robots, which have begun mass delivery to factories, signifying a major milestone in manufacturing automation and the potential implications for the labor market. Ray finishes with information on the growing trend of running local open-source AI models on personal computers. He emphasizes the privacy advantages of using models like Llama and Mistral locally without relying on cloud providers. In closing, Ray reflects on the episode’s diverse topics and invites listener feedback regarding the content. He expresses gratitude for their support and encourages them to send comments or suggestions for future episodes. Ray ends by wishing everyone a good night and promising to return with more episodes soon.
