Suba de aranceles y guerra comercial: entrevista de Pablo Wende a Jorge Angel Harke, analista de mercados internacionales de Adcap Grupo Financiero.
So much marketing today feels cold and impersonal, like it was churned out by a machine with no real understanding of the audience. Brands are blending together, all using the same predictable phrases and empty enthusiasm. The ones that stand out are the ones that sound real—like an actual person is behind the words, not just an algorithm following a formula. People connect with authenticity, and that's something no AI can fully replicate, no matter how advanced it gets. Ernie Harker, a professional speaker, AI branding specialist, and author of Your Brand Sucks, helps businesses transform through innovative marketing strategies. With a background in illustration and branding, he delivers high-energy presentations on leveraging AI for creative growth. He has guided industries in rethinking their marketing approaches using generative AI tools. Today, he explores the power of custom GPTs for personalized content, how AI simplifies complex projects, and the balance between technological efficiency and preserving human creativity. Stay tuned!

Ruston's account is @dolldecree and it features short animated vignettes involving Barbie and her friends, saying pithy things and looking fabulous. Eric's account is @olivianewtonjohnisadoll and it's exactly what it sounds like. Using Barbie dolls, Eric has painstakingly recreated looks from Olivia's career; from her breakout days in the 1970's to Xanadu to the Physical era to her more recent memoir launch. Both men talk about what inspired them to start the accounts, their different creative processes--Ruston uses AI, Eric is totally old school--their most popular posts, and what having this side project has brought to their lives. Other topics include: the shame attached to wanting to play with Barbies as a boy, the Christmas gifts they'll remember forever, the joy of connecting with other Xana-fans, and constantly wondering if you're crazy for putting so much time, money and passion into these doll projects. The episode ends with a special musical moment; a bangin' cover of Kelly Clarkson's "Under the Mistletoe" performed by Dennis's past guests Matt Zarley and Kathy Deitch. Happy Holidays, everyone!
December 18, 1979. Moline, Illinois. 30-year old Cody James and 30-year old Gary Harker leave Gary's woodcarving shop in Cody's pick-up truck in order to make a delivery and collect some money, but they never return and the truck is later found abandoned across the state line in Davenport, Iowa. Four months after the disappearances, the pick-up is sold off at a police auction, but the new owners are shocked to discover Cody and Gary's bodies concealed beneath some debris in the truck bed and it turns out both men have been bludgeoned to death. It is theorized that the crime was drug-related and even though photographs of two potential suspects are provided to investigators decades later, no one is ever charged with the murders. For our final holiday-themed episode of 2024, “The Trail Went Cold” chronicles a shocking double homicide which has remained unsolved for 45 years.
