Every month, traditional publishers lose more ground to indie authors.One reason it's happening is that in trad publishing, a committee or the highest-paid person in the room makes the call on book covers, marketing copy, and even what they suppose readers might like. Both get it wrong far more often than they want to admit.Most indie authors aren't much better off. They just swap the highest-paid person's opinion for their own, and trust their own gut on covers, titles, and blurbs.But savvy authors skip this guessing game entirely. They test everything, and they're outselling everyone else.In this week's episode, USA Today best-selling author Steve Piper sits down with Thomas to break down exactly how split testing works.You'll discover:How many ideas you should test to find a viable oneWhat kinds of book-related assets work for split testingThe sneaky metric that fools most authors into thinking their split-tested ads are workingIf you need help choosing a title, cover, or copy, or if you're wondering why your ads aren't working, listen in or read the blog version to find out how you can know for sure what will work.Blog link: https://www.authormedia.com/why-your-cover-blurb-and-hook-are-all-just-guesses/AuthorMedia.social link: https://authormedia.social/c/novel-marketing/why-your-cover-blurb-and-hook-are-all-just-guessesSupport the show

What's up folks, welcome to our 4 part series of crawling through the dungeon of martech architecture. You've arrived at our final episode, part 4: The Dispatch Tower.We'll tackle:(00:00) - Intro (00:59) - In This Episode (01:30) - Sponsor: Mammath Growth (02:33) - Sponsor: GrowthLoop (03:58) - FLOOR 4: THE DISPATCH TOWER (04:39) - What Happens When 30 Vendors Turn On AI at the Same Time (21:24) - Boss Battle: The Agent Avalanche (22:53) - Why You Need a Central Referee, With Agent Guardrails (26:48) - Sponsor: Knak (27:55) - Sponsor: MoEngage (28:52) - Privacy Compliance and Data Minimization (38:38) - The Dispatch Layer that Controls Routing Logic (44:00) - The Layer Above the Dispatch is the Interface (47:20) - What Production AI Agents Look Like on a Governed Data Foundation (50:27) - The Deterministic Layer: Why the Interface Can't Run on Guesses (53:09) - System Stewardship: The Role That Emerges When You Clear This Floor (59:33) - FINAL ACHIEVEMENT: The Dungeon Is Cleared ---------------------------------------------------------------------------OPENING---------------------------------------------------------------------------Welcome back to the Dungeon of Martech Architecture.You've arrived at the final floor. Parts 1 through 3 built the foundation, the meaning layer, and the causal memory. Part 4 is the floor most organizations have been living on the whole time, often without knowing it.Episode 1: CRM GravityWe conquered the source of truth and discovered that the data warehouse replaces the CRM with portable audiences.Episode 2: The Eye of ContextWe learned why AI fails without context engineering and built the shared meaning infrastructure that keeps agents from misinterpreting what they read.Episode 3: The Correlation MasqueradeWe escaped the correlation trap and built the causal memory layer that separates agents that optimize correctly from agents that confidently scale the wrong behavior.Episode 4: The Dispatch TowerToday, we tackle the governance chaos of 30 vendors all claiming authority, and confront the interface decision that most organizations already made without realizing it.Let's finish our descent.------------------------------------------------------------------------------FLOOR 4: THE DISPATCH TOWER---------------------------------------------------------------------------Congratulations martech crawler, you've arrived to the final floor of the dungeon. Let's face it, most of your fellow crawlers will never make it this far. They're still lost in political battles debating why the CRM shouldn't hold product activation data or they ended up falling prey to the correlation trap and I forever stuck in the boomerang room. But you've made it. You're proudly wearing the 3 badges of honor on your jacket: data janitor, context king and causal brainiac. This floor is the hardest because it combines collaborative political battles but some serious technical obstacles as well. The layout of this floor is best described as a hot mess of agent spaghetti. Every vendor in your stack has an agent now. Your ESP has one. Your CDP has one. Your MAP has one. Your CRM has one. Your ad platform has one. Each one has separate logic, separate assumptions, separate permissions, and a roadmap slide that says “autonomous.”None of them knows what the others are doing.And nobody volunteered to referee this stuff.At the top of this floor, there is a door most organizations never noticed. Whoever controls that door controls what instructions get through, which systems can act, and which agent gets authority over the customer.What Happens When 30 Vendors Turn On AI at the Same TimeYour inbox is probably already full of emails from every platform in your stack, all saying some version of “Turn on AI today.”Each one promises autonomous intelligence. Each one wants permission to write, recommend, segment, suppress, score, enrich, personalize, or trigger something. Each one is operating from its own model of the customer. None of them can explain what happens when two agents try to update the same record, message the same person, or optimize against conflicting goals.You are now the referee. Congratulations. Rich Waldron, CEO of Tray.ai, describes how this feels on the ground:RICH WALDRON, Episode 162"If you're the marketing ops leader and your 30 vendors are telling you to go turn on the AI for their application, you sort of become like an AI referee. You have to figure out, well, do I turn it on for this one and not for this one? And is this one gonna overwrite what occurs here? You feel it already. Your inbox floods with vendors begging you to 'just turn on our AI capability' -- 30 different platforms all promising transformation. Suddenly you're an unwilling AI referee asking impossible questions: which AI systems should I activate first? What happens when one AI's decisions contradict another's? Are all these systems feeding sensitive data into the same models?""Agents backed by an iPaaS give you full governance and control of where execution happens. For teams drowning in vendor AI chaos, the third option -- iPaaS-backed agents that naturally integrate with everything -- provides centralized governance, unified control points, and consistent execution environments."Rich is describing the nightmare version of the final floor: every vendor ships an agent, and marketing ops gets stuck deciding which ones are safe, which ones are redundant, which ones are risky, and which ones quietly conflict with each other.The answer is not to let every team turn on whatever they want. It is also not to create a central AI police force that blocks everything until innovation dies in a committee.The middle path is an operating model: a small central group that sets standards, reviews risk, creates reusable patterns, and lets the business move quickly without turning the stack into a haunted appliance storeFunny enough, I spoke with someone who actually did volunteer for that AI referee job – her title is a bit fancier though. Here's Lindsay Rothlisberger, Director of GTM Innovation at Zapier and also a member of their AI Center of Excellence. At Zapier, she sits at the spoke of a hub-and-spoke AI Center of Excellence, a small central team led by a Chief AI Officer, with Lindsay as the GTM representative responsible for translating governance into go-to-market practice. Her work covers deciding which AI tools get activated, setting the standards for what a shared skill has to pass before it enters the internal library, and keeping track of what people are building before it fragments into 100 unsanctioned experiments.LINDSAY ROTHLISBERGER, Zapier"We have a skill that reviews our skills for data and security compliance. It gives you a red, yellow, green. Red — here's what you definitely need to fix. And in most cases, Claude can just say, 'I can go fix that for you. Would you like me to do it?' And just do it. So it's a pretty simple process. But it is a standard review skill that runs through all of these different things."Every shared skill at Zapier has to have a named owner. If it's used across a team, someone is accountable for maintaining it. Skills covering go-to-market operations are owned by RevOps. New builders who want to ship a skill that runs through a cross-functional workflow pair with a RevOps partner to build it. The governance operates as a co-authorship model, designed to make s...

The time crunch has arrived. I've been warning you that I may need to take a break to fit everything in; it's a jam-packed summer for me. I'm trying to get a new whiskey book done on a very short deadline, and my son Tom is getting married at the end of August, and we've got a wedding shower in Philly this weekend. It's here, that moment when it's all finally too much...but only by a bit. So I'm going to delay the next episode a week. I have all the material, I only need to edit the interview and write the script. Next Thursday, the 16th, you'll get a full episode, and we'll be back on the every-other-week schedule. As an apology, here's What I'm Drinking Today. In recognition of the Team USA loss to Belgium in the World Cup round of 16, I popped a fresh, foamy bottle of Duvel, because it's always wonderful. Remember, then: Next episode will be on July 16th, and yes, it's still about the greatest Pennsylvania beer bar you've (probably) never heard of. And pizza. And kielbasa. And that should be a clue. Guesses? Anyone got guesses? See you in ONE week! Until then? YOU CAN STILL TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT THE PODCAST!

Remember how I said it was mostly about food and drink? This episode is about the amazing outdoor recreation opportunities in central Pennsylvania. I talked to a guy who's arguably one of the foremost experts on the topic, who's also done a lot of work on outdoor recreation in the American West, and in New England. And he says that Pennsylvania's wilds and outdoor recreation opportunities are second to none! You asked for it! You wanted it! Hell, so did I! Here's an interview with Mike Hermann, the founder and lead cartographer at Purple Lizard Maps. Their recreational maps are waterproof, up to date, chockful of information, and a joy to look at. Mike is a great interview; it went a bit long but it's all good stuff. What I'm Drinking Today is Brewery Techne's Perkuno's Hammer, a beer I actually helped formulate, almost 30 years ago. It's still being made, same guy, but the third brewery where it's been made. It's still pretty great, too. Next episode steps a bit outside the usual STAG geography, and will be about the greatest Pennsylvania beer bar you've (probably) never heard of. And a whole lot of pizza. And that should be a clue, right there. Guesses? Anyone got guesses? See you in two weeks! Until then? TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT THE PODCAST!

Entrepreneurship is all about guessing and betting because every new business starts as a set of educated bets about the future. Dan Sullivan and Jeffrey Madoff share how to ask better questions, increase your tolerance for uncertainty, and make smarter guesses and bets about the growth of your business. Show Notes: Making high‑quality guesses and bets is a capability you can deliberately develop. Employment can feel like an escape from guessing and betting since it comes with a guaranteed paycheck, but entrepreneurship requires you to lean into it. A successful business balances reliable cash flow with the freedom to keep making new bets. Predictability is useful, but treating it like a guarantee sets you up for disappointment. You rarely have perfect information, so focus on making the best decision available now, not the “right” one in hindsight. Freaking out never improves your odds; clear thinking and action do. Everyone is going to screw up sometimes; your recovery strategy matters more than the mistake. There are two kinds of uncertainty: when something you relied on stops being predictable, and when you're doing something completely new. Wisdom is what turns raw knowledge and experience into better pattern recognition and decision-making. As you gain experience, your real advantage is knowing which opportunities to say no to much faster. Adaptable entrepreneurs treat new technologies and disruptions as fuel for innovation, not threats to their identity. AI will only be as smart, useful, and contextual as the quality of the questions and standards you bring to it.

When the prize for a correct answer might be a poop-flavored jelly bean, getting it wrong is the best strategy. What if you answer a trivia question about 2,600-year-old cataract surgery correctly, and your reward is reaching into a box of jelly beans that might taste like dead fish — and you can’t lie about it? Ah, the question no one asked. Well, the answer is here! Blechardy is back, this time in Jelly Bean Mode — where every correct answer earns you a mystery BeanBoozled jelly bean that could be peach or could be barf. PA professor Jeremy Nelson and learning community manager Cody Pritchard team up against first-year Physician Associate student Tyler Mills, second-year med student Alexis Baker, and PA1 student Megan Renner. The categories: ancient medical procedures, misunderstood body parts, legends of medicine, internet memes from 2010–2020, and general knowledge. The chaos starts immediately when nobody can figure out what ancient healers packed wounds with (honey and moldy bread, for the record), and it only escalates from there. Fixing cataracts in 600 BCE, the ancient theory about what the other testicle does, the gland who’s name means “mucus” — mixed in with memes and the Mandela Effect. Jeremy buzzes in confidently and wrong more than once, Tyler steers the ship repeatedly into icebergs, and Alexis can’t quite tell if her jelly bean is genuinely bad or just a flavor she doesn’t like. The real winner? Probably the audience, who gets to watch five adults negotiate whether toothpaste-flavored candy counts as yummy. Oh, and Dave. Dave wins, too, because he only had to eat one gross bean at the end or people would have rioted. Everyone else? Hosed.

I hate the term "hallucinations" for when AIs say false things. It's perfectly calculated to mislead the reader - to make them think AIs are crazy, or maybe just have incomprehensible failure modes. AIs say false things for the same reason you do. At least, I did. In school, I would take multiple choice tests. When I didn't know the answer to a question, I would guess. Schoolchild urban legend said that "C" was the best bet, so I would fill in bubble C. It was fine. Probably got a couple extra points that way, maybe raised my GPA by 0.1 over the counterfactual. Some kids never guessed. They thought it was dishonest. I had trouble understanding them, but when I think back on it, I had limits too. I would guess on multiple choice questions, but never the short answer section. "Who invented the cotton gin?" For any "who invented" question in US History, there's a 10% chance it's Thomas Edison. Still, I never put down his name. "Who negotiated the purchase of southern Arizona from Mexico?" The most common name in the United States has long been "John Smith", applying to 1/10,000 individuals. An 0.01% chance of getting a question right is better than zero, right? If I'd guessed "John Smith" for every short answer question I didn't know, I might have gotten ~1 extra point in my school career, with no downside. You can go further. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/shameless-guesses-not-hallucinations

Second-guesses for Mike Vrabel
In this Brand Highlight, we talk with Michael Roytman, CTO of Empirical Security, about a problem many security teams quietly struggle with: using general purpose AI tools for decisions that demand precision, forecasting, and accountability.Michael explains why large language models are often misapplied in security programs. LLMs excel at summarization, classification, and pattern extraction, but they are not designed to predict future outcomes like exploitation likelihood or operational risk. Treating them as universal problem solvers creates confidence gaps, not clarity.At Empirical, the focus is on preventative security through purpose built modeling. That means probabilistic forecasting, enterprise specific risk models, and continuous retraining using real telemetry from security operations. Instead of relying on a single model or generic scoring system, Empirical applies ensembles of models tuned to specific tasks, from vulnerability exploitation probability to identifying malicious code patterns.Michael also highlights why retraining matters as much as training. Threat conditions, environments, and attacker behavior change constantly. Models that are not continuously updated lose relevance quickly. Building that feedback loop across hundreds of customers is as much an engineering and operations challenge as it is a data science one.The conversation reinforces a simple but often ignored idea: better security outcomes come from using the right tools for the right questions, not from chasing whatever AI technique happens to be popular. This episode offers a grounded perspective for leaders trying to separate signal from noise in AI driven security decision making.Note: This story contains promotional content.

Do the Patriots actually feel like a 12-3 win team? What was the plan with the fake punt attempt? And has Christian Gonzalez lived up the hype?
Your team knows what to do.Then the moment comes. Pressure goes up, and everything slows down. Someone hesitates. Guesses. Asks the same question they already asked last week.The real cost is not training. It is the pause. Derek is the CEO of Practical AI and the creator of Pocket Mentor, built to keep people moving when real work gets unclear. He built Amazon's highest-rated training program. And still watched people freeze when it mattered most.Not because they were lazy. Not because they did not care. Because the moment arrived. And no one wanted to get it wrong.It's true for frontline workers. But also for managers and execs – on a whole other level. Same slowdown. Three different fears.What does it actually take to keep the work moving at every level?Inside the episodeWhere work actually slows. People do not stall because of training. They stall because they need answers in the middle of working.Why one message isn't enough. Frontline workers, managers, and execs slow down for different reasons. When you speak to only one, the work still stalls.The moment the old model breaks. Hours of onboarding videos still leave people stopping, guessing, or feeling judged when they have a question.How to get the right words, to the right people, at the right time.

While everyone else thinks Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza's viral interview was cringe, Bobby is somehow an even bigger fan of him and explains what it is about that moment that stuck with him. Things get a little dicey when Eddie admits he’s keeping a secret from his wife—and tries to justify why he hasn’t told her yet. Then the guys play a game trying to guess the most Googled athletes of 2025… and it does not go well. Guesses are all over the place; logic flies out the window, and somehow, they still feel confident until the real answers show up. It’s loose, honest, and one of those episodes where you really hear how they think when nothing’s scripted.
