With extensive experience leading E-commerce teams at powerhouse brands like Unilever, Prestige, Coty, and Versace, Robert offers invaluable insights into the ever-evolving world of online retail.

KEY TAKEAWAYS In this episode, Julie, Jordan, and Robert discuss: E-Commerce Success Requires Adaptability The industry evolves rapidly, and what works today may not work tomorrow. Being comfortable with ambiguity and continuous learning is essential. The Importance of Cross-Functional Collaboration E-commerce isn't just marketing and sales—it involves supply chain, finance, legal, and operations. Effective communication with leadership and across departments is as crucial as technical expertise. Understanding P&L is Key to Growth E-commerce leaders must think beyond top-line revenue and focus on sustainable, profitable growth. Inventory forecasting, fulfillment costs, and operational efficiencies all impact success. 1P vs. 3P on Amazon: A Strategic Choice 1P (Vendor Central): Easier operations but less control over pricing and inventory. 3P (Seller Central): More control but requires strong operational capabilities. The decision depends on a brand's financial structure, goals, and ability to handle fulfillment. Expanding Internationally Requires a Localized Approach Each market has unique consumer behavior, dominant platforms, and regulatory requirements. Logistics and fulfillment strategies must be planned carefully, as shipping timelines and compliance vary. Partnering with local third-party logistics (3PL) providers can help navigate complexities.

Although Working from Home might have been new for many of us under Covid, research in the area has been going on for decades. This international research, combined with studies carried out in New Zealand over the past 4 years, notably by Prof Jarrod Harr at Massey Uni, is pretty clear that from a wellbeing and productivity perspective the hybrid model of working is better than working in the office 100% or working from home 100%. Hybrid working gives the best of both worlds – 2 or 3 days in the office and 2 or 3 days at home. Advantages of hybrid working include: An increased sense of autonomy for workers – you have some choice over when/where/how you work. Higher levels of autonomy are associated with higher levels of wellbeing. Less stress and better work-life balance. You still get the advantage of social interactions when in the office. Working from Home 100% of the time isn't ideal – people report higher rates of low mood and loneliness. Also, higher rates of burnout, possibly due to not having clear stop/start times. Working from the office 100% of the time reduces autonomy and has poorer work-life balance. The disadvantage of the hybrid model is not everyone's job allows them to work from home for 2-3 days per week and these people see others as getting a perk they don't have.

Katia shares her journey of starting and growing her dance fitness business, starting as a performer and realizing that people would pay her to work out with them, leading her to start Dance Body in 2013. She initially rented studio space and focused on building a community of dancers and fitness enthusiasts. As the business grew, she developed a structured formula for the classes optimized for scale, and hired performers who understood the dedication and commitment required. The business evolved before the pandemic, with a shift to digital streaming and a focus on building a hybrid model of in-person and online classes. Katia emphasizes the importance of community and creating a unique brand identity; the importance of being intentionality in business, and the struggle of saying no to specific opportunities so that you can focus on what matters.

For almost 30 years - under the leadership of giants like Marshall Phelps, David Kappos, and Manny Schechter, IBM led in obtaining the most patents per year. However, in 2020, IBM made the decision to no longer pursue the goal of “numeric patent leadership.” It went from obtaining over 8500 patents in 2021 to, by some counts, less than 5000. Nonetheless, IBM remains one of the top American patentees.Mark Vallone joins Eli to discuss how he stepped into one of the most significant roles in the patent world last year while this dramatic shift in IBM's patent strategy was taking place. Thanks for reading Voice of IP! Subscribe for free to receive updates.On this episode, Mark talks about how IBM's heritage of innovation and patent leadership informs its decisions. He also provides an in-depth perspective on why and how IBM transitioned away from numeric leadership goals and toward a more balanced, quality-focused approach. The episode provides thought-provoking insights into the challenges of growing and managing a vast IP portfolio, including the value of incentive programs for inventors and the mechanics behind strategic patent portfolio pruning decisions. Key Topics:* Succeeding as in-house counsel * IBM's Strategic Shift - departing from their numeric patent leadership goal to focus on patent quality and aligning with their current business model.* Portfolio Management - detailed advice on pruning patent portfolios, including strategies for maintenance fees and monetization.* Hybrid Model - how and why IBM uses both in-house and outside counsel for patent preparation and prosecution work* Harnessing AI in Patenting - the future role of generative AI in improving quality of patent applications and the productivity of patent drafters, and the importance of cautious adoption considering legal and ethical implicationsNotable, QuotableOn continued role of numeric goals"I don't think you abandon numbers. I think they're certainly a part of the calculus, and you have to look at that in order to adequately protect your business."The one change he'd make to America's patent system"I would love to see us fix subject matter eligibility.

This episode is available on Spotify and Apple PodcastsIn a recent episode of the Contrarian Marketing Podcast, hosts Kevin and Eli discuss various topics, including * Google's new remote work policies* the impact of return-to-office on employees* the future of AI-generated content* the challenges faced by affiliates in the SEO landscapeGoogle's Remote Work Policies and Traffic WoesGoogle's implementation of new remote work policies, specifically the crackdown on hybrid work, has caused quite a stir. Employees are now required to be in the office. As a result, Bay Area traffic has significantly increased, leading to frustration among commuters.Kevin and Eli speculate that companies might be using the return-to-office shift as an opportunity for silent layoffs, as many employees are unable to relocate back to the office after working remotely for an extended period.The Hybrid Model's Impact on Career GrowthOne of the concerns raised by Kevin is the disadvantage faced by remote workers in terms of career growth and relationship building. Eli agrees, emphasizing the importance of building connections and relationships in the office, which cannot be fully replaced by technology like virtual or augmented reality.The hosts mention a previous episode that delves into the detrimental effects of the hybrid model, particularly its impact on the career growth of parents who prefer working from home. They also express skepticism towards the idea of VR/AR completely taking over the office environment.Google's Responsibility and the Impact of AI AnswersGoogle has faced pushback for its Search Generative Experience (SGE) program, which tests AI answers and results. Critics argue that the program may harm the Open Web, as Google's traffic is pivotal for numerous websites and businesses.AI-generated results provided by Google can potentially impact organic traffic and ad revenue for websites. Currently, the quality of AI-generated answers varies, with some being thin or incorrect. Google has been experimenting with ad placement in relation to AI answers, aiming to leverage the increasing availability of AI tools and compete with the abundance of quality content.Eli and Kevin acknowledge the pros and cons of AI-generated content. While it has the potential to generate more low-quality content, it also enables search engines to provide more personalized and relevant information to users. They stress the need for a paradigm shift in the SEO model that goes beyond simply creating content.The Evolution of SEO and Google's RoleGoogle search experiences often fall short of users' expectations, driving them to seek answers on platforms like Reddit. The quality of content on the web is declining.Google's indexing of the web reflects the existence of subpar content rather than being the cause. Google has struggled to move beyond content as a ranking factor. Long tail search results were never satisfactory. The absence of a benchmark competitor may have contributed to Google's stagnation.

A New Hybrid Model For Financing Your Amazon Business In this episode of the Seller Sessions Podcast, Danny McMillan and returning guest Fe Soutter dive into a discussion on a groundbreaking hybrid model tailored for Amazon sellers aiming for exponential growth. Fe Soutter, seasoned Amazon seller, opens up about her own experiences grappling with cash flow constraints and the intricate complexities of managing her brand. At a critical juncture, she confronted the tough choice between sourcing funds for expansion or selling her business altogether. Traditional avenues like a standard business sale or going through an aggregator came with the heavy baggage of tax implications, prompting Fe to explore uncharted territory. Enter the hybrid model – a game-changing approach that would see Fe not only retain her role as the managing director but also actively collaborate with a partner company. The crux of this innovative pact involved granting a calculated percentage of her company to this strategic partner on only the new revenue and profits generated. Fe walks us through the intricacies of this model, highlighting how this strategic affiliation allowed her to tap into unparalleled expertise and structural reinforcement. Central to this hybrid model's success is the relentless pursuit of scalability and methodical systematisation. While relinquishing partial ownership, Fe seized the opportunity to channel her energy into the facets she's most passionate about – nurturing creativity, fostering vision, and fortifying the brand's presence in the market. Fe dishes out advice drawn from her profound journey, emphasising the immeasurable value of learning from skilled team members. As the episode unfolds, we glean insights into the roadmap ahead. Fe's target? Steering this model towards a strategic exit in the coming years, with aspirations to hit the eight-figure mark before the final curtain call.

Devin: What do you see as your superpower?Christine: I would say it's courage. Dr. Christine Lum Lung, CEO of Origin Healthcare, says up to 5 million people in the United States who are currently in the hospital could be treated at home more effectively and affordably.“We deploy the expert medical team, the equipment and the technology to patients in their homes so they can actually get all of the care they would receive in the hospital,” she says. “But now it's in an environment that clearly is much more comfortable.”AI Summary* Dr. Christine Lum Lung is the founder and CEO of Origin Healthcare, which provides in-home medical care.* Origin Healthcare uses a hybrid model of care that combines in-person visits with remote patient monitoring and telehealth.* This model is 40% safer, 30-40% more affordable, and results in better outcomes.* Providing care in a familiar and comfortable environment can prevent adverse events and complications that occur in hospitals.* Patients often experience better outcomes and are at lower risk of hospital-acquired infections when cared for at home.* Technology like telehealth and remote patient monitoring can make this model of care more efficient.* The cost savings come from avoiding the high fixed costs of a hospital building and from lower utilization of testing and fewer readmissions.* Christine believes her superpower is courage.* She encourages listeners to explore Origin Healthcare and to connect with her on LinkedIn.Christine says, “As a physician when I would round in the morning, patients would say, ‘I got terrible sleep last night. Somebody next door was yelling. My IV kept beeping.'”“I would inevitably only be able to say, ‘I know the hospital is a place where you need the best sleep because you're sick, but unfortunately, you get the worst.'”Not only is sound sleep difficult, but the sorts of hospital-acquired infections patients contract in a facility are rare at home. Furthermore, data shows there are fewer falls at home.As a result, outcomes are typically better when treated at home for things that can be treated there—about 30 percent of hospitalizations or about 150 diagnoses can be.By leveraging technology to provide hybrid care with visiting nurses and technology, patients receive more attention at a lower cost. The patients are fitted with a watch that monitors vital signs every fifteen minutes. Paired with a tablet that connects to doctors and nurses for addressing questions, patients are never entirely alone.One misperception lay people have is that patients receive 24-hour care while hospitalized. That isn't the case. “In a 12-hour shift, a nurse is only physically assessing the patient for 34 minutes,” Christine says.Christine shared the story of the startup's launch:We launched we officially opened as a company in 2021 in the middle of a pandemic. So there are a lot of things that went into that, a lot of good things and bad things. We were able to treat our first patient in the spring of ‘21. We're in the northern Colorado area where I worked as a hospital physician. We've actually treated over 1,100 patients in the two-plus years that we've been up and operational.Throughout her career, Christine has developed and deployed courage as a superpower to achieve success.How to Develop Courage As a SuperpowerChristine describes her courage: “I see something, I believe in it. The path forward may not seem obvious, but I'm going to go charge down that path.”“Stepping into the venture space,” she continues. “There are fewer females here. And so having the courage to say, ‘I believe in what I'm doing; I know that this is the right thing,' even when other people may try to get you to doubt it. You just have that sense of conviction that keeps moving you forward.”Christine offers a prescription for developing courage:* See what needs to be better and believe that you are the person to make it better.* Surround yourself with people who elevate you.* Recognize the power of naivete; you may not know the entire journey, but you can see and take the first step.* Accept that your efforts may fail.“I don't want to have any regrets,” Christine says. So, I think that's what drives my courage: I don't want to leave anything on the table.”By following Christine's example and counsel, you can develop greater courage, allowing it to become your superpower and enabling you to do even more good in the world.Guest-Provided ProfileChristine Lum Lung (she/her):CEO/Co-Founder, Origin Healthcare About Origin Healthcare: Origin Healthcare is a tech-enabled company partnering with clinicians, employers, payers, and hospitals to enable patients to now receive hospital-level care at home.

This week, Glenn was thrilled to bring on an old friend—Sean Ryan, from Medidenta—for this week's episode of the Nifty Thrifty Podcast. Many Nifty Thrifty members might recognize this handsome gentleman. If you've yet to hear about Medidenta, they're an 80-year-old company that has gone through quite a few phases before settling on the unique identity we know today. But, all along, Medidenta has been known for innovating, creating, and distributing products. Nowadays, Medidenta sees itself as an affordable way to shop for premium, cutting-edge products. And they've grown drastically since their early days, acquiring a multitude of entities and product lines. Thus, Medidenta has a reputation for being the go-to source for dental professionals who are seeking classy instruments at a fair price. In this episode, Sean talks about Medidenta's line of high-quality handpieces at nifty prices. They have handpieces to meet every budget and every need and of course, all backed by their world-class warranty and customer service. Learn about: What makes Medidenta's prophy handpieces so popular? Hint: it has to do with the “value of hygiene.” Why—and HOW—is Sean offering 2019 prices for his products? What's the difference between a CABO style handpiece and an NSK-type version? What are some of Sean's client stories? Where are the “caveats” for the Nifty Thrifty community? How does a “Hybrid Model” benefit Medidenta? How is shipping an annoyance for Sean and his company, and what does this mean for you? Why do higher prices not mean better handpieces? And more!

In 1982 Tom Peters wrote the ground-breaking book "In Search of Excellence." When that book was published, Chairman Mao had recently died; China was making little progress in closing the economic gap between China and the industrialized nations. Here we are, more than 40 years and a digital revolution later, China has become the second largest economy in the world. The UK has left the EU and we had the 2008 global recession and a recent pandemic. That's just a quick overview of some business changes since the 1980s. A natural question is, what does it take to create excellence in today's multi-generational workforce? Post-pandemic leaders have faced the Great Resignation, followed quickly by the phenomena known as Quiet Quitting. How, with all this going on, can we become high-performing organizations during, what appears to be, a talent desert? Let's find out. Our guest for the next two episodes is Adrian Simpson. Adrian is the co-founder of Wavelength Companies. For 30 years, Adrian has taken over 1,500 leaders physically and virtually inside the boardrooms and shop floors of some of the world's most admired, successful, and progressive organizations. In recent years he has taken clients to Silicon Valley, China, and India to visit the likes of Apple, Alibaba, Airbnb, Tesla, Netflix, Lego, Ritz-Carlton hotels, Aravind Eye Care System, and Southwest Airlines. Recently, Adrian's hosted live virtual symposiums with the CEOs of IKEA, Unilever, and the President of Four Seasons, and ran a two-day Inside Digital China Event that took 120 clients inside, what is unequivocally, the world's most advanced digital economy. Through their lens, Adrian experiences the defining characteristics of success and is uniquely qualified to advise organizations on how to become high-performing organizations, even in this talent desert.
