Rene Federico, US Head of Marketing at Primark, joins Future Commerce to discuss the international retailer's first major marketing push in America after a decade of organic growth and physical retail expansion. Drawing on over 20 years at heritage brands like Nike and Converse, she shares insights on building brand relevance in a performance-obsessed era, translating the "joy of shopping" to different US markets, and why the customer should always be the hero of the story.Stat Chasers Never WinKey takeaways:Brand relevance makes you less interchangeable with competitors in the marketThe marketing funnel has collapsed—social media now operates across all stagesInnovation thrives under constraints; limited resources drive creative solutionsTrue brand equity isn't measured on a 30-day dashboard; free yourself from over-measuring creative campaignsCustomers deserve brands that enable participation, not just transactions[00:12:28] "You can stat chase or you can build strategies that help you win as a team. The outcomes will be different depending on your approach." – Rene Federico[00:33:06] "Consumers don't shop your org chart, they shop your brand. Business models don't shop—customers do." – Rene Federico[00:45:31] "When you get someone to buy something, that is an exertion of power. It means somewhere in their conscience, you've been able to affect a choice. We're in a moment where the customer is the hero of the story." – Rene FedericoIn-Show Mentions:"That's So Primark" campaignHerald Square flagship opening Spring 2026Associated Links:Check out Future Commerce on YouTubeCheck out Future Commerce+ for exclusive content and save on merch and printSubscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce worldListen to our other episodes of Future CommerceHave any questions or comments about the show?

Send us a textPeaches is back in the Ones Ready Team Room with another no-BS drop that'll make the Pentagon sweat. From the government shutdown that's starving paychecks to the beefy boys rolling off bread trucks in Chicago, this episode rips through every headline the brass wishes you'd ignore. Peaches calls out the “financially illiterate” lifestyle of troops living beyond their means, laughs at the Army Corps' endless postponements, and lights up DoD's hilariously outdated cybersecurity systems. Then it's on to the Marines flexing “maritime domain awareness” for an attaboy, the Air Force's missileer cancer scare, and the Space Force trying to sound cool with “hypersonic challenges.” Oh—and the Coast Guard Cutter Midgett (yes, really) returns from busting drug runners like it's the sequel to Narcos. Top it off with Peaches' unfiltered rant on false IG complaints, whistleblowers, and accountability. The episode ends with updates on the sold-out Nashville Operator Training Summit and a sneak peek at the next Vegas OTS—because rest is for civilians.⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 – Hydration, Hoist, and Old Man Midnight Sips 02:30 – The Shutdown Circus: Paychecks, WIC, and Why You're Broke 04:50 – Fat Troops and Bread Trucks in Chicago 07:15 – Cybersecurity Theater: Outdated Systems and Cheesy Training 09:25 – Marines Celebrate “Maritime Domain Awareness” (Whatever That Means) 11:50 – Missileers, Cancer, and the HunterSeven Lifeline 13:10 – Tac-P Documentary: Filthy Legends, Must-Watch History 14:15 – Inspector General Reform: Bye-Bye Anonymous Whiners 17:00 – Presidential Directives, Bureaucratic Chaos, and Infrastructure BS 18:50 – Nashville OTS Recap + Sneak Peek: Vegas Summit Locked In

The Hero's Journey and the Map of the Larger Story In this episode of the Exploring More Podcast, Michael Thompson and SJ Jennings dive deeper into the theme of this first series: learning to read the map of the Larger Story. Through the lens of beloved classics like Pinocchio, The Lion King, and The Wizard of Oz, they unpack the shape of the hero's journey and the spiritual landscape we all live in—one marked by darkness and light, conflict and redemption. Michael and SJ explore how the Old and New Covenants frame our understanding of the battle for identity, authority, and purpose. They reflect on personal experiences, spiritual formation, and the power of belief and story in shaping our path. With the help of the digital and physical Zoweh Map, they reveal why orientation and training are critical for every man who wants to know where he is and where he's going. This episode invites you to slow down, study the map, and ask God what He sees in you and your story. Because in a world at war, clarity is everything—and healing begins when we understand the terrain. We hope you enjoy this episode and invite you to connect with us!

Send us a textGreg Logan: The Power of Storytelling – Turning Brands into BlockbustersIn this episode of Navigating the Customer Experience, we are joined by Greg Logan, a global leader in brand storytelling who has spent over 30 years helping the world's biggest brands—from Adobe and Netflix to Virgin and Qantas—connect with audiences through stories that reach both the head and the heart. With award-winning experience in advertising, television, and film, Greg has built his company, Narrativity, on a powerful idea: brands can learn the secrets of Hollywood storytelling to become loved, not just known.In this episode, Greg shares his remarkable journey from a 10-year-old fascinated by TV commercials to a top creative at Leo Burnett, where he spent 17 years shaping global campaigns. After a successful career in advertising, he transitioned to entertainment, selling reality show ideas to major U.S. networks. But when he realized that brands were being told why they should tell stories but not how, Greg combined his knowledge of advertising and entertainment to develop storytelling formulas that now help businesses worldwide emotionally engage customers.Greg breaks down the three keys to connecting with audiences through storytelling. First, use structure—every story needs a clear beginning, middle, and end. Second, make the audience the hero, not the brand. Your business is the wise guide that helps them achieve their quest. Finally, start with the customer's greatest tension—what keeps them up at night—and end with their greatest love—what they truly desire. By triggering emotion first, you capture attention and make your brand memorable. Greg illustrates this with a powerful case: a New Zealand water company that transformed its message from rational facts to emotional storytelling, landing products in Whole Foods and other major retailers.He also shares a deeply moving example from his work with a palliative care organization. Using his “quest formula,” they defined their purpose as “giving people their best death possible”—a phrase that brought everyone in the room to tears and perfectly captured their true value. For Greg, these are the stories that matter most.When it comes to technology, Greg has a balanced approach to AI. While he appreciates its efficiency, he cautions that AI-generated writing often sounds generic. His tip: use AI to edit, not replace your voice—and give it personality by prompting it to write like your favorite celebrity. He also recommends checking out his new tool, storytellingquiz.com, which helps businesses evaluate and strengthen their brand story.Greg recently released his book, Creating a Blockbuster Brand: Hollywood's Storytelling Secrets For Your Business, designed to give readers practical, page-by-page value. A book that has deeply influenced him is The Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff—a beautifully simple blend of philosophy and wisdom through Winnie the Pooh.Looking ahead, Greg is excited about his new collaboration with UK-based BoltAI and their product, Foretold, which uses storytelling principles to help companies innovate faster and smarter by testing new ideas directly with consumers. It's storytelling not just for marketing—but for invention.Greg's guiding mantra during challenges? “Suck it up.” It's a reminder that as entrepreneurs, we choose this path—and perspective turns frustration into fuel.Connect with Greg: Instagram: @gregloganofficial | LinkedIn: Greg Logan | Website: narrativity.comBooks Mentioned: Creating a Blockbuster Brand by Greg Logan The Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff

On a sunny Sunday morning in 2017, a man in an SUV pulled up outside a small white church in Sutherland Springs, TX. The people inside would become the targets of the weapons he carried.

It's Monday, October 6, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Muslims decapitated or shot 30 Christians in Mozambique, Africa Over 30 Christians were beheaded in a series of recent attacks in northern Mozambique, Africa by Islamic State-affiliated terrorists who also released graphic photographs showing the executions, shootings, and widespread arson, reports The Christian Post. The group targeted multiple villages across Cabo Delgado and Nampula provinces, setting fire to churches and homes in a campaign of violence against civilians. According to The Middle East Media Research Institute, the Islamic State Mozambique group released a 20-image photoset this week, documenting its operatives executing civilians by beheading and close-range gunfire, and burning down homes and churches. The Mozambican insurgency, active since 2017, has led to the deaths of at least 6,200 people. In Deuteronomy 32:35, God says, “It is mine to avenge; I will repay. In due time, their foot will slip; their day of disaster is near, and their doom rushes upon them.” The United Nations estimates that more than 1 million people in northern Mozambique have been displaced since the conflict began, due to a combination of militant violence, prolonged drought and extreme weather events. Open Doors ranks Mozambique, Africa as the 37th most dangerous country worldwide for Christians. Nigerian Muslims killed kidnapped pastor after receiving ransom Armed Muslim groups in Kwara State, Nigeria killed a local pastor after abducting him and receiving ransom payments from his community, reports International Christian Concern. Rev. James Issa, a pastor with the Evangelical Church Winning All, was taken from Ekati village on August 28. His abductors initially demanded $67,000. Weeks of negotiations followed, with family members, church leaders, and villagers contributing funds to secure his release. The community raised $3,300, a sum far beyond the means of the rural community. The money was delivered to the kidnappers, but instead of releasing the pastor, the armed group demanded an additional $30,000. Before any further talks could take place, they killed Rev. Issa. Netanyahu demands release of all 48 hostages in order to end war On Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that no part of U.S. President Donald Trump's peace plan will be enacted until all 48 hostages, alive and dead, are returned to Israeli territory, reports The Jerusalem Post. Additionally, Netanyahu stated that if the hostages are not released by Trump's deadline, "Israel will resume fighting with full backing from all involved countries." However, speaking to Israeli journalist Barak Ravid, President Trump told Netanyahu, “Bibi, this is your chance for victory.” Currently, there is no set deadline for the hostage release, although negotiations to finalize the plan are set to begin in Cairo, Egypt today. An anonymous source told the Jerusalem Post that (a) Hamas, the Muslim terrorist group, is committed to reaching an agreement to end the war in the Gaza Strip and (b) the release of the hostages will be carried out gradually over several days through the International Red Cross. Secretary of State Marco Rubio appeared on NBC's “Meet the Press” with Kristen Welker. WELKER: “I want to start with these peace negotiations in the Middle East. Is this now the end of the war in Gaza?” RUBIO: “Well, not yet. There's some work remains to be done, and I would view it in two phases, in terms of understanding how to break this out. “The first piece of it, which is very clear from the letter in Hamas' response, is they have agreed to the President's hostage release framework. And what needs to happen now, and they acknowledge in the letter in their response, is there now needs to be meetings which are occurring, even as I speak to you now, and hopefully will be finalized very quickly on the logistics of that. “What that means is, who goes in to get them? Is it the Red Cross? You know, when do they show up? What place are they going to be? And the conditions have to be created for that to happen. You can't have bombs going off and fighting going on in the middle of this exchange. So, that's piece one. And we want to see that happen as soon as possible, all 48 hostages, both living and deceased. “The second part of it, it's even harder, and that is the long term piece. What happens after Israel pulls back to the yellow line, and potentially beyond that, as this thing develops? How do you create this Palestinian technocratic leadership that's not Hamas, that's not terrorists, and with the help of the international community? “How do you disarm any sort of terrorist groups that are going to be building tunnels and conducting attacks against Israel? How do you get them to demobilize? All that work -- that's going to be hard. But that's critical, because without that, you're not going to have lasting peace. You may get the hostages back, you may get a cessation of hostilities, but in the long term, it's going to happen all over again.” Hero Ukrainian soldier kills 27 Russian troops A heroic Ukrainian warrior killed 27 Russian soldiers singlehandedly while defending two bridges surrounded by enemy forces, reports The U.S. Sun. Rus spent over seven weeks crouched in a putrid-smelling basement protecting the crossings -- armed with nothing more than a firearm and pure grit. The valiant soldier has been recommended for the Hero of Ukraine medal, the country's highest military honor, for his brave work. He personally killed 27 Kremlin forces - steadfast in his defense of the crossings in Dopropilia, in Ukraine's Donetsk region. Speaking to The Times, he recalled the grim reality of spending almost two months taking cover in a gloomy basement as Russian drones buzzed overhead. He could only use the toilet "at dusk or at dawn" over fears of being struck and for seven weeks only washed with baby wipes. First-ever woman becomes Archbishop of Canterbury Sarah Mullally has been chosen as the new Anglican archbishop of Canterbury, marking the first time a woman has been named to the highest ecclesiastical position in the Anglican Church, reports LifeSiteNews.com. In 1 Timothy 2:12, the Apostle Paul wrote, "I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet.” The seat of the archbishop of Canterbury had been vacant since January 7, 2025, when Archbishop Justin Welby resigned due to allegations of mishandling an abuse case involving John Smyth who beat Winchester Boarding School students until they bled, leaving permanent scars. MarketWatch: 22 states already in recession And finally, according to Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics, the U.S. economy is very close to falling into a damaging contraction. Many states are already experiencing a recession. Zandi estimates that 22 states, plus the District of Columbia, are now experiencing persistent economic weakness and job losses that are likely to continue. Another 13 states are treading water. The overall picture is one of a weak U.S. economy that is vulnerable to being pushed into a ditch by a strong wind. The economist added, “The economy is still not in recession, but the risks are very high. We're on the precipice.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, October 6th, in the year of our Lord 2025.

In the email exchange leading up to our conversation, my guest Kristina Marie wrote "The Hero is Dead."That sentence stopped me in my tracks. It's a suspicion I've had for a while, but maybe there's still a part of me that doesn't want it to be true. "What do you mean? But I love my hero's journey stories!" that part protested.In the episode, Kristina and I dove straight into this topic. We discussed: The new myths we're living, telling, and weaving in the face of crumbling structures and collapsing old paradigmsThe difference between the mystic's journey and the hero or heroine's journeyWhat a transformational story isThe journey of becoming the person who can tell our own stories as its own unique processIt's a profound conversation and my mind was blown with epiphany after epiphany throughout.Here's Kristina's bio:For more than a decade, I worked as a journalist and an editor at top national magazines, including Travel + Leisure and T magazine at the New York Times.

Damon and Damo catch up as Damon highlights his first week as a CMC. Damo had to shave his mustache and did not like it one bit. The guys discuss the impact of the current furlough on servicemembers and civilian teammates, along with available resources for anyone in need. Diddy was sentenced to four years in prison after a guilty verdict in a prostitution case, and Damon makes a plea against political violence and mass shootings. Earlier this week, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and President Trump called top military generals and admirals to Quantico for a brief, summit, conference, or “All Call.” At the same time, the SecDef dropped a load of memos focused on refocusing the fleet and putting the warrior spirit at the forefront. This week's hero is Pfc. Jacklyn Harold Lucas, and last week's “Do Better” segment gets a much-needed follow-up with a shout-out to Freddy Whisner. A new listener-submitted “Do Better” sparks a conversation about how DRB can be handled more privately. The guys also debate whether the Super Bowl music choices alienate two-thirds of the NFL's fanbase as Damo praises PTA and Leo's latest movie, One Battle After Another, and much more.

This is a story of hope, faith, and purpose you'll never forget. Actor Joel Courtney and inspirational speaker John O'Leary connect with nine-time Emmy winner David Sams to share the real-life miracle behind the upcoming film Soul on Fire, a powerful true story of survival and redemption hitting theaters October 10, 2025. At just nine years old, John O'Leary survived a devastating explosion that left him burned over 100 percent of his body and with less than a 1 percent chance to live. Decades later, his journey from unimaginable pain to living with unshakable purpose has inspired millions through his bestselling books, On Fire and In Awe, as well as his Live Inspired Podcast. Now, his story comes to life on the big screen with Joel Courtney (Jesus Revolution, The Kissing Booth, Super 8) taking on the role of John. In this heartfelt conversation, Joel shares how he prepared for such an emotional and challenging role, the incredible cast he worked alongside — including William H. Macy, John Corbett, and Devon Franklin — and the unforgettable moments on set that brought this true story to life. John opens up about seeing his life portrayed on film for the first time, the role faith and family played in his healing, and the message of hope he hopes audiences will carry with them long after the credits roll. Whether you're looking for inspiration, strength to face your own challenges, or a deeper look behind the scenes of one of 2025's most anticipated films, this episode will move you to tears and ignite your own soul on fire.

In this exclusive Pop Culture Edition of Sasquatch Odyssey, Dani dives headfirst into the world of comics to explore one of the most fascinating pop culture interpretations of Bigfoot: Marvel's Sasquatch. Created in the late 1970s, Marvel's Sasquatch isn't just a towering cryptid lurking in the woods—he's Dr. Walter Langkowski, a Canadian scientist whose experiments unlock a transformation into a massive, orange-furred creature with superhuman strength.A longtime member of Alpha Flight, Marvel's premier Canadian superhero team, Sasquatch has stood shoulder to shoulder with legends like Wolverine and the X-Men, bringing the folklore of Bigfoot into the heart of the Marvel Universe.In this episode, Dani paints a vivid picture of the character's design and evolution: the towering frame, the primal roar, the duality of man and beast. But more than just description, we dig into what this character means. How does Marvel's Sasquatch reflect our cultural fascination with cryptids? Why do we continually reimagine Bigfoot in new forms—from wilderness monster to sports mascot to superhero? Drawing on psychology and sociology, Dani explores how this superhero iteration taps into deeper human questions: the tension between science and myth, the fear and fascination of transformation, and the way folklore adapts to modern storytelling. By turning Bigfoot into a hero instead of a horror, Marvel redefined the cultural script, showing how the same legend can embody both primal terror and protective strength.And, in true Sasquatch Odyssey fashion, the episode also asks: how do these portrayals ripple back into the real world? Could repeated depictions of Sasquatch as noble or heroic actually shape how people process their own encounters in the wild?Finally, stick around until the end of the episode for a special surprise: Brian joins the conversation to share his take on Marvel's Sasquatch, and how he sees pop culture constantly influencing real-life beliefs about Bigfoot.This is an episode that blends comics, folklore, psychology, and the enduring mystery of the creature in the woods.Whether you're a Marvel fan, a Bigfoot believer, or just curious about how myths evolve, this Pop Culture Edition proves one thing: Sasquatch isn't just hiding in the forest—he's alive and well in the pages of our favorite comics.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.
A Massachusetts high school is under fire after they told students to create a project honoring their personal hero. But there was a catch. The students had to select their heroes from a school-authorized list.

In this follow-up conversation, Anna and Kristina return to the Inner Villain System with fresh reflections, funny tangents, and practical ways to work with the villains inside us. After weeks of editing and digesting the earlier episodes, Anna shares her need for a “mnemonic device” to keep all nine villains straight—leading to creative memory tricks that connect astrology, Icelandic elves, and even Peter Pan.Along the way, the discussion winds through fitness updates, cultural differences between the US and UK, Anthony Horowitz mysteries, and Anna's humorous experiment of “playing stupid” as medicine for the Obedient Critic. Kristina dives into how direct vs. indirect shadow work parallels physical therapy techniques, and how each villain's arc—from humiliation to abandonment, betrayal to immortality—offers a map toward becoming the Hero or Legend.Together they reveal:How mnemonic devices can simplify complex systems like astrology or the nine villains.Why culture differs from entertainment, and how this connects to villain work.The personal ways the Obedient Critic and Vengeful Martyr show up in daily life.Direct vs. indirect methods for working with villains, and how they mirror healing practices.Stories of humor, humility, and what happens when shadow work meets spilled milkshakes.If you've struggled to remember the villains or want practical tools to spot your own inner critic, martyr, or controller in action, this episode will help you laugh, reflect, and find new entry points into your own shadow work.Next up: The pair plan to explore the Vain Controller and the Eternal Child, including how these archetypes show up in dreams and daily life.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
