Greg and Joel sit down with Ed Hellman, from Devil's Bargain Toys, to talk about the life of toy creation and what's next for the Devil's Bargainverse!

In this week's episode of The Learning Curve, co-hosts Prof. Albert Cheng of the University of Arkansas and Alisha Searcy of the Center for Strong Public Schools speak with Leslie Hiner, Senior Advisor for Legal Policy at EdChoice, about the constitutional foundations and future of educational freedom in America. Hiner reflects on her distinguished career in law and public policy before examining the landmark U.S. Supreme Court decisions that have shaped the modern school choice movement. She discusses how Brown v. Board of Education's promise of equal educational opportunity influenced later efforts to expand parental choice and educational access. Hiner then explores the significance of Zelman v. Simmons-Harris, Trinity Lutheran Church v. Comer, Espinoza v. Montana Department of Revenue, and Carson v. Makin, explaining how each expanded protections for families seeking religious and private educational options. She assesses the legal landscape following Carson, highlights key recent victories such as Loffman v. California Department of Education, and offers insights into the future of school choice litigation, educational tax credits, and parental rights nationwide. Finally, Hiner also examines current legal cases, including Hellman v. Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, and they could mean for the future of school choice in Massachusetts.

Joona Hellman kertoo Sunnuntaibrunssissa tuoreesta Polte-kirjastaan sekä siitä, mistä idea kirjaan sai alkunsa ja millaista sen tekeminen on ollut. Hellman puhuu myös siitä, millaista on ollut kasvaa julkisuudessa ja olla avoin sosiaalisessa mediassa. Jaksossa muistellaan YouTube-uran alkuvaiheita aikana, jolloin koko ilmiö oli vielä uusi, sekä sitä, millaisia paineita sisällöntuotanto voi tuoda mukanaan. Lisäksi Hellman kertoo kokemuksistaan Petolliset-ohjelmassa.

I wanted to talk to a lawyer 'cause, yeah, lawyers are the ones that see stuff that falls the whole way down to the level of legal action. But I wanted to find out what are the main categories of things that wind up in legal land when it comes to broker or EBC (employee benefit consultant) payment agreements. Like, what are the top ways that compensation agreements go horribly awry? For a full transcript of this episode, click here. If you enjoy this podcast, be sure to subscribe to the free weekly newsletter to be a member of the Relentless Tribe. Doug Aldeen, my guest today, rose to the challenge. And let me just state for the record that, while there are a whole lot of brokers and EBCs who would or do engage in some of these practices, there are also many who do not; and/or it might not be the broker/EBC themselves but the company that they work for who is up to some of the things that we're gonna be talking about in the episode today. But I really, for sure, want to support the gang of honest actors, great fee-based, integrity-based brokers and EBCs; and I wanna support them all day long, many of whom listen to the show and are part of the Relentless Health Value Tribe. But let's talk about how the rent-seeking ones roll so that you can spot them. See what they did there. So, yeah … the first kind of ground zero that Doug and I talk about today is just up-front direct compensation agreements, which may be just ridiculously complicated and/or ridiculously expensive compared to what others are charging for a similar group. Where there's mystery, there is margin. That is so relevant in so many situations, and this is just another one of them. So then, after that, Doug and I move on; and we get into three categories of stuff that sits in that undisclosed or maybe even disclosed zone, where just the whole model of payments is problematic on its face. First up (and this is a biggie), brokers/EBCs recommending rent-seeking solutions to their clients. Like, a broker or EBC suggests a solution to their client where the solution itself makes money on a perverse incentive, and then the broker or EBC gets a piece of that action, which might be called shared savings. So, yeah … even if the dollars to the broker or EBC are disclosed, a naive plan administrator might not see that overcharge for what it really is—and Doug gives a bunch of examples in the show that follows. Chris Deacon (post) and Justin Leader (post) also wrote posts about this. Donovan Pyle wrote a whole book about it. Okay … the next big category of typical payment model methodologies that Doug Aldeen (again, a lawyer) has seen plans get themselves into trouble with their EBCs and brokers—the ones who are sharks, I mean, circling the plan like it's a gold mine—this big category is undisclosed payments from vendors who the plan doesn't realize have a business relationship with the EBC or broker. This can also be a whole basket of solutions that the EBC/broker wants to install, which is basically this problematic payment model at scale. And, right, this matters because then the plan doesn't know if this particular point solution, PBM, stop-loss carrier … Right? They think their broker EBC is recommending it because it's the best option for that particular plan, not understanding that it's the right option for the broker or EBC. And these dollars can be undisclosed because, to a certain extent, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, it's a little bit unclear on certain points. There's some loopholes if you go looking for them because you are so inclined. We get into more detail on this later on. After this, Doug offers a really great roadmap with six steps in it for any plan to really think about as they consider. First, the maybe integrity of their broker or EBC and what is being recommended to the plan. And that's important because, look—and we say this in the conversation that follows, but I'm gonna say it again here loudly—if a plan realizes that their broker or EBC is not really serving the best interest of the plan, there are great options out there. There are great EBCs and brokers who are honest, upstanding that really care about their clients, their plans, their members, and doing the right thing. But telling the difference between the not-so-good ones and the good ones takes some diligence, takes some validation on the part of the plan sponsor. It just does. But the amount of dollars that can be saved is millions, and this is actually, saving those millions is actually better for the plan because it's not like those dollars were going in somebody's pocket. It's not like they were being put toward better, safer, lower premiums. These are dollars that can be cut, and the plan is actually better. My guest today, as I have mentioned at least several times already, is Doug Aldeen, who is a well-known attorney who has spent many years in the self-insured space.

Andreas Hellmann ist seinem Idol und Weltstar „Pink“ schon sehr nahe gekommen. Das hätte sich der 16-Jährige Andreas nicht träumen lassen, sagt der 33-Jährige heute. Selbstzweifel begleiten den jungen Mann aus Forchheim bereits sein ganzes Leben. Und er spricht ganz offen darüber. Auch, weil er anderen damit eine Stütze sein möchte. Sein Coming-Out ist für ihn längst kein Thema mehr: Heute steht der 32-Jährige selbstbewusst und schon mal im Regenbogen-Tanktop vor Markus Söder. „Ja, in gewisser Weise bin ich ein Rebell“, sagt Hellmann. In der aktuellen Podcast-Folge von „Mit.Menschen“ spricht der Forchheimer mit NN-Moderator Patrick Schroll nicht nur über Söder und Weltstar Pink, sondern über die schwierigen Phase seines Coming-Outs in der Schule. Vor wenigen Jahren durchlebte Hellman dann eine schwierige Phase, für die er sich professionelle Hilfe holte: Der junge Mann kämpfte mit Depressionen und sein Partner gegen Krebs. Die Therapie alleine holt den Fotografen jedoch nicht aus seinem Loch. „Ich habe über einen längeren Zeitraum Psychopharmaka genommen und in der Therapie viel über mich gelernt." Wie er seine Zukunft jetzt in die Hand nimmt.

Americana/Folk artist Ismay (Avery Hellman) was in a Lucinda Williams cover band started by their father early in her adult life. As a singer-songwriter herself, the musician, rancher and self-identified “dreamer” went looking for more understanding of the legendary singer-songwriter and produced an outstanding documentary called Finding Lucinda. The film documents their journey of more self-discovery than anything else, but their interviews and path to learn more about Lucinda led them to understand Williams grew up the daughter of, and surrounded by poets. The result, besides the beautifully done film, was Hellman decided to learn to write poetry. Those learnings and evolution in their artistry led to their next big project – a new album called Half Truth, due out June 12th on Fossil Records.  Frank and Falls chatted with Hellman about the film, Lucinda Williams, poetry, and the new album on this week's episode of Roots Music Rambler. The trio also discussed Fossil Records, a new label co-founded by Hellman and friend of the show Margo Cilker (see Episode 35). There was a lot to cover and unpack with Hellman's journey and art.

On today's MadTech Daily, we cover OpenAI laying the groundwork for ChatGPT ads in the EU and sharing user data with advertisers, Blackstone, Hellman & Friedman, and Goldman Sachs backing a new enterprise AI venture, and Elon Musk settling an SEC lawsuit over his Twitter purchase, paying a USD$1.5m fine.

Today’s headline news for Canadian IT solution providers: ServiceNow’s partner momentum is real – and the model is changing. Opening the Partner Day Keynote at Knowledge 2026 in Las Vegas Monday, SVP of Global Partnerships and Channels Michael Park led with a pointed Q1 headline: partner-sourced net new ACV doubled year-over-year, and partners delivered more than 50 per cent of Moveworks‘ net new business in the first 90 days following ServiceNow’s acquisition. The numbers put muscle behind a message the company is driving hard: this is a partner-led growth engine, not a direct play. The company rolled out two new tools to cement that model – a Partner Business Value Composer designed to help partners establish AI value baselines with customers, and a new Outcome Led Services methodology designed to move partners away from traditional time-and-materials billing toward monetizing business outcomes. As Constellation Research founder Ray Wang put it on stage: “The companies that will win are not the partners who try to rebuild the engine – they use the engines available to build the new car that doesn’t exist.” Three questions are opening every enterprise AI conversation – and governance is the one that’s sticking. Chief Customer Officer Chris Bedi laid out the framework partners should be using: How do I make AI real? How do I get to value faster? How do I govern AI everywhere? The governance question is emerging as the highest-urgency entry point – every enterprise is grappling with it whether or not they’ve articulated it. ServiceNow is positioning AI governance as the non-negotiable building block of any enterprise AI deployment, and is expected to announce a formal 100-day AI value guarantee at today’s Knowledge mainstage keynote – an offer partners will be able to use as a standardized starting point for customer engagements. The customer conversation is also shifting: “Pacesetters” that Bedi tracks as AI leaders are demonstrating 160 per cent ROI, and the story is no longer about cost reduction. Top-line revenue growth is what’s getting approvals right now. Nine in ten ServiceNow implementations go through partners – and the company is investing in that reality. Chief Learning Officer Jayney Howson put a sharp point on the session with a single stat: 90 per cent of all ServiceNow implementations are delivered by a partner. She framed the implication plainly: “You’re the last mile between buying an AI dream and seeing an AI reality.” In response, ServiceNow is making a significant investment in partner enablement – AI-assisted learning tools, a new simulated training environment, and a commitment to dramatically compress implementation training time from weeks to hours. The platform has approximately two million certified learners today, with a target of three million by end of next year. For Canadian partners evaluating where to deepen their ServiceNow practice, the message was hard to miss: the enablement infrastructure is being built, and the company is betting its partners are the ones who make the AI era real for enterprise customers. Also in brief: Nerdio launches Manager for MSP 7.0 as Microsoft cloud growth surges. The multi-tenant Microsoft management platform announced today that MSP ARR grew 51.8 per cent in 2025, with Microsoft 365 users inside the platform up more than 300 per cent year-over-year as MSPs expand their Microsoft practices beyond virtual desktop. Version 7.0 – in public preview as of today – adds four notable capabilities: a Prospect Tenant Assessment Wizard that scans a prospect’s Microsoft 365 environment and generates a client-ready security and efficiency gap report; native PSA integrations with Datto Autotask, ConnectWise, and Halo; Microsoft Purview compliance baselines; and a white-label reporting engine across Azure Virtual Desktop, Microsoft 365, and Azure. For MSPs trying to manage the whole Microsoft stack across dozens of tenants from a single pane of glass – and increasingly looking for tools that help them sell, not just manage – 7.0 has some practical additions worth a look. Anthropic takes a swing at the consulting industry. The company behind Claude announced today a $1.5 billion joint venture with Goldman Sachs, Blackstone, and Hellman & Friedman – not to license Claude, but to embed it inside enterprise workflows as a service. The model is being read as a direct shot at traditional consulting firms, and a clear signal about where AI services margin is flowing. For channel partners building AI practices, the venture is worth watching: Anthropic is structuring this as outcome-based deployment, backed by institutional capital that can go places traditional IT channel distribution cannot. ThreatDown makes a major channel pivot. The Malwarebytes spinoff announced last week that it has rebuilt its entire go-to-market model around a channel-first strategy – growing distribution from one per cent to 40 per cent of its business. The company is launching a new Nexus Partner Program with deal protection and margin incentives specifically designed for MSPs. For a cybersecurity brand that has been largely direct-led, this is a significant reversal and puts ThreatDown in direct competition for MSP mindshare with established channel-first security vendors. Cisco is acquiring Astrix Security for $350 million. The Israeli startup specializes in non-human identity security – securing the API connections, OAuth tokens, service accounts, and AI agent identities that are multiplying fast as agentic deployments scale. It’s a logical buy for Cisco as the attack surface around AI agents becomes one of the harder problems in enterprise security. Read Full Transcript TRANSCRIPT TO COME

Recorded live at SARRCON, this From Darkness to Life (Our Collective Journey) episode features Medicine Hat business owner and city councillor Chris Hellman sharing how escalating alcohol use and worsening mental health after COVID led to isolation, depression, and not caring if he lived. He describes how his wife, parents, and especially his sister intervened with a careful plan that got him into a Vancouver Island (Duncan/Victoria area) treatment centre, where he detoxed, completed 60 days, and returned home with shame and fear of stigma before gradually rebuilding through therapy, medical support, 12-step meetings, peer support work, and community connection. Chris discusses service gaps, transitional housing, and how gentle, non-judgmental support and listening helped him find hope and sustain 17 months of sobriety. https://ourcollectivejourney.ca/podcastFacebook: our collective journey. #FromDarknessToLife #OurCollectiveJourney #SARRCON #Recovery #AddictionRecovery #MentalHealth #AlcoholRecovery #Sobriety #CommunitySupport #Hope

On this week's episode of The Learning Curve, co-hosts U-Ark Prof. Albert Cheng and Alisha Searcy of the Center for Strong Public Schools speak with David Hodges, a school choice attorney with the Institute for Justice, and Ariella Hellman, director of government affairs for Agudath Israel of New England. Together, they discuss the U.S. First Circuit case Hellman v. Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, exploring how Hodges and the IJ team are shaping legal arguments around private school choice and religious liberty. They also explore how Hellman's personal journey as a mother, lawyer, and advocate highlights the real-world stakes of centuries-old anti-aid laws. From the influence of U.S. Supreme Court rulings like Trinity Lutheran, Espinoza, and Carson, to the ongoing negative impact of Massachusetts' 1850s Know-Nothing Amendment, Hodges and Hellman explain how a positive ruling could expand educational access and opportunities for families of faith across the Bay State. They talk about their experience working together on this U.S. Circuit case, exploring some of the challenges within the Massachusetts legal process. In closing, Hodges and Hellman offer an inside look at the legal battles and personal determination necessary to shape the future of education law in the Bay State and across the U.S.

We often treat “purpose” like a finish line, tied to productivity, careers, or achievements. In this episode of Playful Spirituality, Cara welcomes healer and author Amy J. Hellman to explore a more playful, embodied way of living with purpose.Amy shares her practice of “following her smiles” — letting her body's authentic responses point the way toward clarity, joy, and fulfillment. Together, she and Cara reimagine purpose as something we are always creating, an intersection of passion, service, and presence rather than a job title or outcome.They talk about:The in-between phases of life — career shifts, parenthood, identity changes — as fertile ground for curiosity and creationHow unlearning productivity culture makes room for purpose as presence, even in something as simple as a genuine smileSeeing the unknown as a buffer zone for observation and gentle redirectionAmy's origin story of sudden hearing loss, the letter that changed everything, and how it led her to Theta HealingCara also reflects on her own identity shifts through leaving a long-term job and becoming a mother, and how disorienting transitions can be deeply transformative.Amy closes with what's next: her upcoming book Dump Reflections: Essays on Breaking Up, Breaking Down, and Recycling Yourself, and a course on direct communication with self, others, and Source.This conversation is an invitation to let go of striving, follow your smiles, and discover purpose in the spaces in between.Amy's Bio:Amy J. is an educator, author, mother, and healing facilitator for students of all ages world-wide. Author of "An Instructor's Guide to Educating with Kindness and Leading with Love," and others, she believes in our human potential for great change and growth.

Connected TV is no longer just a buzzword in the ad world — it's where the industry is being reinvented. Audiences aren't just watching differently; they're shopping, engaging, and co-viewing in ways that open new creative doors for brands. And sitting at the intersection of entertainment and advertising is Roku, a company that's helping marketers meet these shifts head-on.In this episode of The Big Impression, Roku's VP of advertising, marketing & measurement, Sarah Harms, explains why the company is uniquely positioned as a publisher and an operating system. Episode TranscriptPlease note, this transcript  may contain minor inconsistencies compared to the episode audio.Damian Fowler (00:00):I'm Damian Fowler.Ilyse Liffreing (00:01):And I'm Ilyse Liffreing.Damian Fowler (00:02):And welcome to this edition of The Big Impression.Ilyse Liffreing (00:09):Today we're talking about how streaming and connected TV are transforming not just how we watch, but how brands connect with audiences.Damian Fowler (00:17):Our guest is Sarah Harms vice president of advertising, marketing and measurement at Roku. She leads the strategy behind Roku's advertising business, helping brands tap into streaming's growing audience while building smarter measurement tools along the way.Ilyse Liffreing (00:32):Before Roku, Sarah built her expertise across both the buy and sell sides of the industry with leadership roles at Microsoft XR and wpp giving her a unique perspective on how ad tech data and storytelling all come together on Connected tv.Damian Fowler (00:49):We'll talk about how Roku's helping brands of all scientists meet new viewer behaviors, build more effective campaigns, and push the creative boundaries of what's possible on CTV.Ilyse Liffreing (01:00):So let's get into it.Damian Fowler (01:03):So Sarah Roku is in a pretty unique spot right now, right? Between entertainment and ads with this latest brand or measurement move, what got it started? Was there an insight or audience need that really stood out to you?Sarah Harms (01:17):Yeah, so in my role I run ad marketing and measurement. So much of my job is us as a marketer, so marketing roku's, advertising proposition, but also in support of our marketers. And so that makes my job very fun. And so a lot of this conversation today, I'm going to go back and forth between my job as a marketer, but also my job in B2B advertising of driving marketers results on our platform. Something that's really fun about Roku is that we're a publisher, but we're also the largest operating system in the us. We see consumers come through our front door to get to the content they know and love and care about. And so that gives us a really rich canvas for supporting some of our marketers initiatives. And so for example, the Super Bowl was very fun for us, whether it was using our platform to drive traffic to Tuby or to build really fun brand experiences on our canvases.(02:13):So we had, when Sally met Hellman's and we had Hellman's and Roku City and we had the Super Bowl ad and a really lovely zone destination to drive shopping and drive purchases of Hellman's mayonnaise, which you really wouldn't expect from a television advertising experience. And so I think that was a fun one from us in supportive marketers. And then a whole part of my job is making sure our advertisers really know about the Roku experience. And so while it's B2B, it would be silly not to address them in a B2C capacity because our marketers could also be customers, the need to understand the value of the Roku experience even if they don't have a televisionDamian Fowler (02:53):From ro. Once you realize your customers could be businesses, consumers, or both, how did that shift your strategy? Did it change the way you approach things?Sarah Harms (03:01):I think it's just strategic use of our resources and a strategic use of our messaging. We certainly think the Roku experience as an operating system is delightful and easy and intuitive. We talk about how your mother-in-law can set it up herself as the example we always use. And so we certainly want our advertising customers to know that too because it really is a beautiful, elegant experience for advertising as well, for watching content.Ilyse Liffreing (03:28):So you've got such a big range of advertisers from big Fortune five hundreds to D two C brands to B2B. How do you build campaigns or measurements that flex for either of them but still stay true to your own approach?Sarah Harms (03:44):Great. So I'll address that as a speaking to the advertising community part of my job, we certainly are on a journey to evolve our strategy to be more flexible and meet our customers where they want us to be, whether it being in their buying platforms of choice or providing optionality to a D two C customer by giving them a very lightweight, intuitive self-service platform like Roku Ads Manager. And so I think a lot of it from a measurement standpoint is doing some education. I think some of the questions were ground around CTV is still somewhat new, but I don't know if it's new, but it's certainly new in the eyes of performance. And so it's a lot of education about how we can enable customers to drive true outcomes using connected television. And so whether it's ad manager or unique measurement integrations, shoppable formats, we really try to address all of thatIlyse Liffreing (04:36):Now. Streaming's completely changed how people watch from binging to co-viewing and basically everything in between. How do cultural or data trends help shape what you're doing on the platform?Sarah Harms (04:48):Yeah, I mean it's been so interesting to see it change even since the pandemic. I think for a long time CTV was synonymous with SVOD or subscription video on demand. We're very much seen that is not the case anymore. A majority of our households are using some form of A VOD, we're advertising video on demand. And so that trend coupled with live sports coming into CTV and streaming, it's really just driven a whole new slew of opportunities for advertising. And so off the back of that, that's more addressable, more accountable television because it is connected television. And so that's been fun from a education standpoint, it's been fun from a how do we enable our platform to address that and also how do we educate our customers from a measurement standpoint.Damian Fowler (05:37):So what's the ad experience like on Roku? You mentioned CTV and it sounds like there's a pretty wide mix of formats. Can you break that down a little more?Sarah Harms (05:46):I'd love to because I think that's again, where my role as a B2B marketer, it's of course helpful to inform our clients about our experiences then they might not have a Roku device or television. And so we think about our business in really two core buckets. We have the Roku experiences, which is our beautiful ui, so native home screen units, they're customized, they're elegant, and we have some of our more kind of viral experiences like Roku City, which is fun and delightful. We're now doing brand integrations there. But then on the other side, we're also a very scaled publisher. So the Roku channel continues to climb Nielsen's Gauge in terms of total TV content time. And so that is allowing us to be a very kind of open interoperable, performant publisher as well with standard video that's available programmatically. It's available with unique measurement integrations, and that's really our ecosystem being an interoperable partner in the space.Ilyse Liffreing (06:43):Roku City is that fun, animated screensaver, very purple that a lot of people see on their TVs. Can you tell us a little bit about it and the kinds of brands you're partnering with there?Sarah Harms (06:54):Yeah, so this has just been something really fun that's taken off. So Roku City is our interactive screensaver and people love it. I don't know if you see it every day, but it's cute, it's fun, it grabs your attention. We see that it's tweeted about every 12 minutes, so it is a viral experience and so much so that really our advertisers challenged us to think about it differently. And so now we have really a variety of advertisers coming into Roku City. So I gave the Hellman's example. We had Taylor Swift in Roku City. And so it's really just a fun, unique, totally differentiated advertising experience, but we tie it all to the rest of our assets.Damian Fowler (07:36):I heard somebody say this morning, performance media is kind of the baseline. Now with that in mind, how do you think about measuring engagement across all these different touch points that we've been talking about?Sarah Harms (07:46):Yeah, I mean, so much of my job on the measurement side of the house is education. And I think the challenge is that performance is in the eye of the beholder and CTV is still bought via a very different group of personas from a legacy television buyer all the way to someone that had been in social API partners and dipping their toe into CTV. And so performance is required, but it's really a matter of educating them on what that means to them and supporting them in their efforts. But what's great about CTV is its big beautiful television, but with all the addressability and accountability of digital.Damian Fowler (08:23):And on that point though, what is it that linear TV buyers still don't quite get about CTV?Sarah Harms (08:29):I think it's the ecosystem aspect of it all. I think television in the past was measured by a couple companies with a couple KPIs or just reach. And so I think this is where CTV has really unlocked really turnkey, always on easy to optimize measurement. That's very exciting.Ilyse Liffreing (08:48):So one thing we like to do on the show is pull our takeaways from the big campaigns. Are there any KPIs or success stories from the campaigns running on Roku that stand out to you?Sarah Harms (09:00):Yeah, so I think what's been fun is we see that we have opportunities for really kind of all verticals. Obviously Roku is born out of the media and entertainment industry, but we've expanded there. And so we really do have kind of a playbook for each vertical, but auto specifically comes to mind, which is a really exciting one. You don't really think of performance and auto on tv, but we've built kind of beautiful experiences like showrooms where you can configure cars, sign up for test drives. And so I think we've really changed the narrative there in terms of driving actions for that vertical all in a very big, beautiful, elegant canvas.Damian Fowler (09:37):Are there any other kind of surprises from your takeaways in terms of like, oh, that's popping. I never expected that.Sarah Harms (09:44):So for me, I don't carry a wallet. My phone is my wallet. And I think if you told me that five years ago, I would've never believed you. Similarly, I don't think anyone thought they'd be shopping with their television. That happens every day on our platform, and I think it's because of clients testing with us, but also it comes back to us as an operating system. And really our remote, it's a few buttons. It's really easy. We have a direct relationship with our customers from a billing perspective. And so the same way Apple Pay is just so easy now you can shop from your tv, which again seems insane, but maybe we'll be here in a couple years and we'll see so much direct shopping from televisions.Ilyse Liffreing (10:23):What about the interest from B2B brands? It just feels like that sector is really exploding across all categories, but CTV particularly.Sarah Harms (10:33):Yeah, I mean so much of my job as a B2B marketer is a lot of education and a lot of really, so much of our reframing away from being a walled garden to more of an open collaborative partner. And so much of it is doing, we talked in the press about our change away from doing a big new front event. We did more kind of small customized dinners instead just to make sure there is a very direct touch point, but also specifically cater to each client's needs. And so I think that's been more of our approach of making sure we do pointed conversations to address the nuances and needs of each customer.Ilyse Liffreing (11:12):And how was that new approach for you this year? I know a lot of brands are doing things a bit differently at the fronts. How did it go on your side?Sarah Harms (11:21):I think for us it's knowing the value of us as the operating system and having great content, but not being these content giants that have millions and millions and millions of dollars to spend on content. And so they should do a big show for us. We drive traffic to the big show. And so I think it was more about, yes, of course, talking about our amazing content and brand integrations there, but also acknowledging the integrations that each customer wanted, the platforms each customer wanted, and what we're doing for each of them in a really kind of catered way versus such a one to many message.Damian Fowler (11:57):You mentioned content earlier. Are you seeing any particular trends now? Anything that's really driving interest from certain categories or marketers?Sarah Harms (12:06):So we have our Roku originals, and we do very well in kind of holiday and home as you can expect, but I think this year in Cannes, you won't be in a meeting like this without talking about sports. And so we have sports rights, yes, but again, the value of the operating system, we've built sports zones to help make sport discoverable and findable. I always use the example of my husband's great Uncle Joe, diehard Yankees fan, can't find a Yankees game because it might be on four different places in five days. And so how can Roku as an operating system help in that regard? And so I think Roku is invested a ton in our infrastructure of driving curation of sports, but also we're very invested in what we call challenger sports, so National women's soccer league volleyball, stuff like that where they have really these die hard fan bases and they just want to find it. We're the destination to help them.Damian Fowler (13:01):We keep hearing it's not just about mass reach anymore, it's really about how well the audience, and the better you understand them, the better this whole thing works for both the platform and the advertiser. How do you see that playing out right now?Sarah Harms (13:13):Yeah, and they're loyal. They're diehard. They're big spenders sometimes. And so you want to kind of associate with yourself with such a kind of amazing, loyal fan base that's just so passionate about the sport.Ilyse Liffreing (13:26):So we have some quick questions for you now. So first of all, you've led both creative and analytical teams. What is one timeless truth about great advertising that cuts across both sides?Sarah Harms (13:41):First of all, it's a very fun aspect of my job having both kind of the marketing team and the measurement and analytics team. Two very different personas, but brilliant in their own ways. And so much of my focus since being here is making sure they're working together versus kind of two ships in the night with their own functions because we certainly have such amazing data, so we should use that to speak to the marketplace in a smart way. And so I think that's been really fun. I think they're getting to know the other side of the house and the creative thinkers versus the analytical thinkers like me pushing them to work together has been very fun. And I think with that in mind, a data informed approach is key. And so that's what really drew me to Roku was that opportunity of just this amazing data set that we have that we can use to optimize, but also to tell our story in a more elegant way.Damian Fowler (14:33):Now since you joined Roku, is there a favorite data point or piece of feedback that's really stuck with you?Sarah Harms (14:38):Yeah, well, I think what's interesting about my job is I should have been informing people like myself about the value of Roku. Before the process started of being recruited, I had a pretty antiquated view, the Roku advertising offering. So that's something that in getting here and in going through that process I learned so much more. I think my favorite might be that any given month, we see a user come through our front door about 25 days a month. And so that is an advertising opportunity to message our amazing footprint. But we see that on average an individual app is seven, maybe eight times a month. And so if you think about that, the reach potential, but also just the consumer habit of using our devices and seeing the messaging from our brands, I think is so compelling and something that really we're massive as it relates to our OS and footprint. And so we've designed these beautiful experiences to really account for that.Ilyse Liffreing (15:36):Now, Roku really helped pioneer the modern CTV ad experience. Is there a moment that's made you step back and think, wow, look how far the medium and your team really has come?Sarah Harms (15:49):I think the fact that the Super Bowl was really such a success story for streaming, I think we never thought the Super Bowl would be at that level, but it was streamed and it really streamable and really without a hitch, I think we've seen some live streaming events and there were some issues. I thought it was very well done. We were happy to support it. We drove some amazing traffic to Tubi. And so I just think 10 years ago, we never thought that would be the case. And so that's just been a fun thing to think about that and the Olympics and the Olympic zone that we built, just really elegant experiences and just changing television has been fun.Damian Fowler (16:32):And that's it for this edition of The Big Impression.Ilyse Liffreing (16:35):This show is produced by Molten Hart. Our theme is by Love and Caliber, and our associate producer is Sydney Cairns.Damian Fowler (16:41):And remember,Sarah Harms (16:43):A data informed approach is key. And so that's what really drew me to Roku.Damian Fowler (16:47):I'm Damian, and I'm we'll see you next time.   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We're exploring what it means to put Hope in Action. And today, I'm excited to welcome a guest who has dedicated his career to understanding hope not just as a feeling, but as a measurable, teachable strength that transforms lives and communities. Dr. Chan Hellman is recognized as one of the world's leading hope scholars, with more than 25 years of research, training and teaching experience. His groundbreaking work has shown that hope isn't just a nice concept—it's a powerful predictor of well-being that can be built intentionally. As the Founding Director of the Hope Research Center at the University of Oklahoma-Tulsa and a professor at the school's Anne & Henry Zarrow School of Social Work, Dr. Hellman has authored over 150 scientific publications and co-authored the bestselling book "Hope Rising: How The Science of Hope Can Change Your Life." In this episode, we explore what hope actually is, how it's different from wishful thinking, and most importantly—how we can build it in ourselves and our communities through intentional action.
