Episode 3 brings the NYE Lollapalooza deeper into the world of real assets, real operators, and real responsibility. Jay Doran is joined again by co-host Mike “Mike Drop” Calhoun, alongside Judd Burdon, Gray Wilson (Revolution Capital Group), and Robert Frehafer (Guardian Roofing) for a conversation that moves fast—but lands heavy.Gray shares how Revolution Capital thinks differently about real estate: long-duration holding, durability, and intentional value investing in core Philadelphia—avoiding the short-term flips that look smart until the market turns.Robert offers a powerful perspective from the trades—roofing and siding as both opportunity and responsibility—along with a personal story of faith, family, and transformation. The group zooms out to talk about how leaders in service industries can change lives when they stop treating workers like “labor” and start building people through culture, development, and long-term vision.Then the conversation turns sharply into the future: AI in the trades, asset assessments at scale, and the idea of building a “performance partner” network—not just subcontractors, but teams trained, supported, scored, and elevated through systems, standards, and shared outcomes. Judd lays out pieces of a broader ecosystem: tech platforms, equipment, training, dealer networks, and integration across pavement and roofing through property data and AI-driven assessments.A key moment: when asked to pick one word under pressure, Robert lands on it—Innovate. And that becomes the north star of the episode: innovation not as buzzword, but as stewardship—creating better outcomes for customers, better opportunities for workers, and better businesses built to last.This is Episode 3 for the builder, the operator, the investor, and the leader who believes the trades can be more than a job. They can be a movement.If you're listening, share this episode and leave a review—because this series is built on one simple idea: the right people in proximity can change everything.

This is a recording from AMZ Innovate 2025 in New York City. Brett Curry breaks down why YouTube is a fundamentally different growth channel than Meta, TikTok, or Amazon ads, and why most brands struggle when they treat it like “just another social platform.” He explains the four key ways people use YouTube (searching, streaming, scrolling, shopping), shares a proven creative formula to keep viewers from skipping, and walks through an Arctic case study showing measurable lift in branded search and Walmart sales. Finally, he covers why YouTube measurement often understates true performance and what to track instead (search lift, sales lift, geo holdouts, Amazon + DTC combined impact).—Sponsored by OMG Commerce - go to (https://www.omgcommerce.com/contact) and request your FREE strategy session today!—Chapters: (00:12) Intro(01:11) YouTube is the missing piece for ecommerce growth(04:07) YouTube on CTV + why creative can't be a direct Meta/TikTok copy(06:50) Examples of YouTube-powered brand growth (Dr. Squash, Native, BOOM)(10:20) Creative strategy: length, formats, and what actually converts(11:12) The 5-part YouTube creative formula (hook → CTA)(14:34) Creative examples breakdown (RTIC durability, Native UGC montage, OPO Pop)(15:51) Sponsor Offer: Loop Subscriptions (21:18) What metrics matter for creative feedback loops (view rate, watch time, clicks, CVR)(26:01) Why YouTube under-measures + incrementality findings (House Analytics)(28:36) The “trifecta of lift”: Amazon baseline + search lift + overall sales trend(30:41) Sponsor: Fermat (AI-native commerce platform)—Connect With Brett: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thebrettcurry/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@omgcommerce Website: https://www.omgcommerce.com/ Request a Free Strategy Session: https://www.omgcommerce.com/contact Relevant Links:Sponsor Offer | LOOP (Mention Ecommerce Evolution): https://www.loopwork.co/Sponsor Offer | Fermat (Mention Ecommerce Evolution): fermatcommerce.comPast guests on eCommerce Evolution include Ezra Firestone, Steve Chou, Drew Sanocki, Jacques Spitzer, Jeremy Horowitz, Ryan Moran, Sean Frank, Andrew Youderian, Ryan McKenzie, Joseph Wilkins, Cody Wittick, Miki Agrawal, Justin Brooke, Nish Samantray, Kurt Elster, John Parkes, Chris Mercer, Rabah Rahil, Bear Handlon, JC Hite, Frederick Vallaeys, Preston Rutherford, Anthony Mink, Bill D'Allessandro, Stephane Colleu, Jeff Oxford, Bryan Porter and more

On this episode of Innovate & Elevate, Sharon speaks with Dr. Erin Duralde, Medical Director for Women's Health and Menopause Care at One Medical, about a question that keeps coming up in midlife healthcare: now that we know more, where do people actually go for menopause care?Recorded shortly after the FDA removed the long-standing black box warning on estrogen therapies, this conversation explores how menopause and perimenopause care can be integrated into primary care, what a modern menopause visit should look like, and how clinicians can better listen to symptoms, history, and lived experience to guide care.What You'll Learn from this Episode:How Dr. Duralde's early work as a patient advocate at the UCSF Breast Care Center shaped her approach to menopause care and clinical decision-makingWhy menopause education was largely missing from medical training following misinterpretations of the Women's Health Initiative, and how that legacy still affects care todayWhat patients can expect from a dedicated menopause or perimenopause visit at One MedicalHow intake surveys and symptom tracking help clinicians better understand what matters most to each patientThe wide range of symptoms that can appear during perimenopause, beyond hot flashes and night sweatsHow clinicians think through treatment options in perimenopause, including hormonal and non-hormonal approachesThe difference between menopausal hormone therapy and combined hormonal contraception, and why timing and symptoms matterHow testosterone is used in post-menopause, why dosing matters, and how safety is monitoredHow primary care providers are being trained at scale to deliver evidence-based menopause careAs always, nothing in this episode is personal medical advice.

Michigan's auto industry is still a global leader, but Glenn Stevens of MICHAUTO argues in this episode that "innovate or be left behind" is no longer a slogan — it's the stakes of the moment for the state's economy. Glenn walks through the forces reshaping the industry — rapid technology shifts like automation, AI, and EVs, fierce global competition from places like China, and whiplash in trade and domestic policy that makes long-term planning harder. He explains why the real battle is for talent: from skilled trades to high-end software and digital jobs, Michigan needs better K–12 outcomes, clearer career pathways, more counselors, affordable housing, and reliable transit if it wants people to build their lives and careers here.

With only three human founders and a fleet of AI agents, Swann is redefining the startup playbook—targeting $10M ARR per employee and running leaner operations without sacrificing growth or burning out teams. Amos Bar Joseph shares how Swann scales via intelligent automation and human-AI collaboration, creating systems where both people and agents operate in their zone of genius.

Steve Blank: Blind to Disruption Steve Blank is an Adjunct Professor at Stanford and co-founder of the Gordian Knot Center for National Security Innovation. Credited with launching the Lean Startup movement and the curriculums for the National Science Foundation Innovation Corps and Hacking for Defense and Diplomacy, he's changed how startups are built, how entrepreneurship is taught, how science is commercialized, and how companies and the government innovate. Steve is the author of The Four Steps to the Epiphany and The Startup Owner's Manual and is the author of his recent article at steveblank.com: Blind to Disruption: The CEOs Who Missed the Future. Leaders may see the future coming, but we aren't always incentivized to act on it. In this conversation, Steve and I discuss what we can learn from the common patterns of disruption so we don't miss what's next. Key Points In the 1890s, there were approximately 4,000 carriage and wagon makers in the United States. Only one company made the transition to automobiles. In each of the three companies that survived, it was the founders, not hired CEOs, that drove the transition. Studebaker recognized that it wasn't in the business of carriages; it was in the business of mobility. Clayton Christensen taught us that disruption begins with inferior products that incumbents don't take seriously. The real problem isn't that companies can't see the future. It's that they are structurally disincentivized to act on it. Parsing innovation theatre vs. innovation means paying attention to what's actually shipping.

Join me as I sit down with Jonathan Courtney to host the second annual “Sippy Awards,” the most prestigious award show in tech for the products, games, and tools that shaped 2025. We crown our most-hyped products for 2026, favorite games of the year, best productivity tools, and best products under $100. We also dive into analog tools like Traveler's Notebook, hi-fi systems, Japanese porcelain, and simple clothing uniforms as ways to make everyday life better and de-fragment your brain. Timestamps 00:00 – Intro 03:23 – Most Hyped Product of 2026 14:43 – Game of the Year 2025 19:49 – The Way to Innovate 25:41 – Premium Domains 29:56 – Best Productivity Product 42:02 – Favorite Product of 2025 54:10 – Best products under $100. Key Points The Sippy Awards are a playful but serious way for Greg and Jonathan to highlight the products and games that genuinely improved their lives in 2025. They argue that cult classics (Wind Waker, Pinkerton, Kid A, Breath of the Wild, Elden Ring) come from creators who put the audience last and follow their own taste, even at the risk of initial backlash. Distinctive visual identities and premium dot-com domains are framed as both trust builders for users and commitment devices for founders. Their favorite productivity and lifestyle tools—ChatGPT, Things, Endel, Traveler's Notebook, YouTube Premium, Japanese porcelain—show how small, well-crafted tools reshape daily workflows and rituals. Analog practices (morning pages, notebooks, hi-fi listening) and simple clothing uniforms are presented as ways to de-fragment your brain, reduce decision fatigue, and focus on what matters.

Links https://www.racetoinnovation.net/ Race to Innovation: Unleashing the Power of Entrepreneurship for Everyone Transcript available with the video in the Zion Lab community Highlights In this episode, Roy discusses the intersection of innovation and church leadership, emphasizing how Latter-day Saints can embrace creativity and entrepreneurial spirit to build the kingdom of God. He outlines five principles of innovation that can empower individuals and leaders within the church. Key Insights Innovation in the Church: Innovation is rooted in the ongoing restoration of the gospel, with historical examples from church leaders like Joseph Smith and President Nelson demonstrating the importance of adapting and evolving. Recognizing Potential: Leaders should actively recognize and nurture the divine potential in all members, encouraging creativity and new ideas rather than dismissing them due to comfort with the status quo. Power of Enclaves: Supportive groups or enclaves foster innovation by providing emotional and practical support, enabling individuals to take risks and share their ideas without fear of failure. Enabling Ownership: Leaders should empower members to take ownership of their ideas, allowing them to lead initiatives rather than relying solely on institutional approval. Unique Perspectives: Embracing the diverse backgrounds and experiences of members can lead to innovative solutions that enrich the church community. Accelerating Change: Leaders should focus on how to accelerate innovative ideas, ensuring that they are not just reactive but proactive in creating positive change within their congregations. Leadership Applications Encouraging Initiative: Leaders can create an environment where members feel safe to propose new ideas, such as starting a community service project or a new class, by actively listening and providing support. Building Support Networks: Forming small groups or committees within the ward can help individuals collaborate on innovative projects, leveraging their unique skills and experiences to enhance church activities. Fostering a Culture of Innovation: By promoting a mindset of continuous improvement and openness to new ideas, leaders can inspire members to contribute creatively to the church's mission, ultimately strengthening the community and its outreach efforts. 00:03:34 - Framing Innovation in Church Leadership 00:05:25 - Innovation in the Context of the Restoration 00:07:51 - Challenges of Innovation in Large Organizations 00:09:36 - Autonomy in Local Church Leadership 00:11:25 - Encouraging Local Innovation 00:12:39 - The Role of Individual Members in Innovation 00:14:31 - Importance of Innovation in Church Leadership 00:16:06 - Proactive vs. Reactive Innovation 00:18:07 - Individual Innovation and Community Impact

In this episode of Business Coaching Secrets, hosts Karl Bryan and Rode Dog dive into the realities behind the trending 50-year mortgage, strategies for raising client prices, and the powerful concept of creating lasting value rather than selling on features alone. They discuss generational financial policy, entrepreneurship advice for young business owners, and how the mindset around risk, investing, and habits shapes long-term success for coaches and their clients. Key Topics Covered The Truth About 50-Year Mortgages Karl Bryan breaks down why 50-year mortgages may be psychologically appealing but are often a disaster for long-term wealth. He reveals how fiscal policies typically benefit older asset holders, not young families, and explains actionable strategies for managing mortgage debt wisely (hint: double principal payments to cut interest costs). Debt, Fiscal Policy, and Asset Ownership A candid discussion about government incentives, student loans, movement, and the marketing of debt programs. The hosts explain how national debts, stock market, and real estate policy affect everyday entrepreneurs. Dave Ramsey's Approach vs. Entrepreneurial Investing Karl Bryan shares why Dave Ramsey's advice, though solid for most, isn't tailored to business owners and can actually hinder entrepreneurial growth. Coaches need to help clients recognize where profit really comes from—often through strategic hiring rather than traditional assets. Advice for Young Entrepreneurs For a 21-year-old approaching seven figures in business, Karl shares direct "notes to his younger self": Prioritize learning and history over hype Avoid gambling culture Understand the dangers of chasing status Find mentors closest to your goals Success follows through other people—cultivate loyalty Real success takes five years—play the long game How to Raise Client Prices and Increase Profitability Karl reveals a "scaling" pricing model to onboard high-ticket clients incrementally and why innovation and value creation are the keys to charging more. He provides a three-prong value breakdown—practical, inherent, and social—and explains how to move clients from being compared "apples to apples" to "apples to oranges" in their market. Group Coaching and Retention Leverage Retaining clients and boosting perceived value through live events and group coaching is explored. Karl draws direct connections between authority, events, and pricing power. Moment of Zen Inspiration from sports, family holidays, and leadership culture. Karl shares the magic of "Mickey Points" for family bonding and how elite athletes prime themselves for risk and resilience. The lesson: unlearning old habits is often the hardest—and most valuable—growth. Notable Quotes "Owning a home is as much psychological as it is an investment—it's security for your family." — Karl Bryan "Motivation is great, but a successful life is about avoiding stupid—capitalize, underline, and italicize 'stupid'!" — Karl Bryan "Raising prices is more complicated than just slapping on 10%—innovation and adding value are the keys to creating profitable clients." — Karl Bryan "Don't ask people close to you, ask people closest to your goal. If you want a great marriage, talk to someone with a 50-year marriage." — Karl Bryan "The higher-level question is: How can we increase profits 100% and keep clients happy?" — Karl Bryan Actionable Takeaways Be Critical of Debt Offers: Young families should double down on principal payments if stuck with a longer-term mortgage and avoid upgrading lifestyle unnecessarily. Invest in People Before Assets: Entrepreneurs get the highest ROI by investing in team and systems before stocks or real estate. Leverage Group and Live Events: Group coaching and live events increase perceived value, retention, and pricing power. Innovate to Escape Commodity Pricing: Break out from "apples to apples" pricing by amplifying practical, inherent, and social value—be different, not cheaper. Avoid Your Worst Activity: Personal and client progress accelerates by cutting the most counterproductive habits first, not just starting new ones. Play the Long Game: Real business and personal success takes at least five years—commit, persist, and learn continuously.

Innovation isn't just about building something new; it's about building something better.In this episode of Cash Flow Positive, host Kenny Bedwell sits down with Juliano Silva, a full-time short-term rental investor and designer who's built a portfolio of standout “signature properties” across multiple U.S. markets. From his early beginnings renting out a spare bedroom in Minnesota to creating high-performing STRs in Florida, Juliano shares how data, creativity, and intention fuel his approach to innovation.They discuss the art of designing properties that can't be copied, why standing out takes more than adding a pickleball court, and how to create guest experiences that drive both profitability and longevity. Juliano also opens up about building his own construction and design team, the value of experimentation, and how he protects his creative work while staying one step ahead of imitators.If you've ever wondered how to make your STR truly unforgettable, this conversation is your blueprint.Timestamped Highlights[00:00] Meet Juliano Silva – From web developer to full-time STR investor[00:01:30] The accidental first Airbnb: renting a bedroom in Minneapolis[00:03:40] Early lessons in regulation and risk[00:05:00] Transitioning from long-term rentals to short-term opportunities[00:07:00] How COVID opened the door to their first real STR in Sarasota[00:09:00] Turning a distressed property into a six-figure rental[00:10:00] Building an in-house design and renovation team from scratch[00:11:30] From experimentation to intentionality – creating “signature properties”[00:14:20] The first pickleball court in Sarasota-Bradenton[00:15:30] Using Google Trends and data to innovate amenities[00:17:30] Why copycats will never win and how to stay ahead through originality[00:19:00] Innovation as a mindset, not just a feature[00:21:00] Designing for brand identity and guest retention[00:23:00] Balancing appreciation and cash flow in every investment[00:24:20] How Juliano protects his designs (and his energy)[00:27:00] Drawing inspiration from international design and hospitality[00:29:30] Innovating the guest experience with continuity and theme[00:32:00] The E.R.O. Formula: Acquisition, Experience, Revenue, Operations[00:37:00] Innovation as problem-solving like early check-in strategies[00:39:30] Competing through service, not just price[00:43:00] Juliano's top advice: “When they zig, you zag.”[00:45:00] Staying true to your fundamentals and cash flowing positiveAbout the GuestJuliano Silva is a full-time real estate investor, designer, and founder of Behind Every Stay, a newsletter and consulting platform that helps investors create profitable, guest-loved short-term rentals.

Listen now on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube.—Brett Krajewski is the Vice President of Research & Growth at Accelerant Research, where he leads the research and client solutions teams, delivering innovative insights to empower businesses and many fortune 500 companies. He was most recently featured on an episode of Awkward Silences Podcast, and has some upcoming webinars. With a career spanning both in-house industry roles and consulting/agency leadership, Brett has built and led high-performing, multi-method research teams for Fortune 50 companies. His past roles include Head of Design Research: Customer at Walmart and Lead of Product Research at Lowe's, where he drove customer-focused innovation and strategy. Beyond professionally, Brett has trained Seeing Eye dogs for the past 25 years, combining his love of service and animals, and is also a licensed pilot who enjoys navigating the skies somewhere new whenever possible. Brett's unique blend of professional expertise and personal passions reflects his curiosity, drive, and commitment to making an impact.In our conversation, we discuss:* How Brett discovered triangulation only later in his career and why it changed everything about how he approached impact.* What meta-analysis actually means in practice, and why it's an underrated starting point for faster, smarter research.* Why researchers need to stop acting like lone wolves and start working like strategic collaborators.* How to balance qualitative and quantitative data without waiting for things to be perfect.* The small, consistent actions that build trust and how they differ when you're in-house versus agency-side.Some takeaways:* Early in his career, Brett saw research as “the answer.” Later, he realized that data triangulation, pulling from primary research, internal metrics, heuristics, and third-party sources, helped him tell richer, more balanced stories that actually got traction. It wasn't about perfection or overloading people with data. It was about showing how user needs and business goals intersect, and building stories from multiple truths rather than a single source.* Rather than constantly commissioning new work, Brett champions meta-analysis, which involves reviewing what's already been done across different departments. That might include past research, customer insights, agency data, or marketing reports. Doing this upfront reveals known truths, uncovers gaps, and often means you only need to research 2 out of 10 questions, not all 10. It makes you faster, more relevant, and a better partner to the business.* Trying to solve everything at once kills momentum. Brett advises researchers to start with small, tangible wins, like answering two key questions fast with an unmoderated test. Showing up early with something useful, rather than disappearing and delivering a polished report weeks later, builds credibility. These quick contributions earn you the right to do deeper, more strategic work down the line.* Too many researchers say they want a seat at the table, then go off and work solo. Brett emphasizes bringing stakeholders along for the ride and letting them weigh in, see progress, and feel ownership. That doesn't mean caving to their agenda. It means understanding what they care about, folding it into your framing, and using that shared language to build alignment and influence.* One of the most powerful habits Brett adopted: releasing insights in milestones. Whether you're in-house or agency, think in chunks, such as sharing the competitive analysis while you're still synthesizing interviews. Share directional trends while still in the field. Transparency builds trust, helps teams move faster, and reminds everyone that research is ongoing, not just a one-time delivery. Show them how the sausage is made, not just the final plate.Where to find Brett:* LinkedIn* Transforming Insights into Results: Advancing influence in Corporate landscapes from the bottom up* Innovate or Imitate: Redefining Design and Research on our Terms Stop piecing it together.

"Draft Week" continues on this Wednesday episode as Andy, Brendan, and PJ pick their favorite PGA Tour events of 2025. Speaking of draft picks, the show kicks off with Andy immediately having PJ answer for an explosive trade deadline for the 1-7 Jets. The Jets choosing to stockpile future draft picks rather than have actually good players on the current roster is quickly tied into golf and the constant need to find "who's next." Michael Brennan could be "next," and he's back in action this week as the PGA Tour heads to Mexico for the Worldwide Technologies Championship. Andy and Brendan briefly discuss the field for the event, including Brennan, Ben Griffin, and U.S. Open champ J.J. Spaun. The DP World Tour playoffs begin this week with Rory, Tommy, and more teeing it up at Yas Links for the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship. Brendan mentions the event's defending champion, Paul Waring, which leads to a guessing game on Waring's 2025 PGA Tour earnings. There was some real, substantial golf news on Wednesday afternoon as it was announced that LIV Golf will begin playing 72-hole tournaments in 2026. Andy and Brendan find great humor in the fact that this is being spun as "innovation" and the next phase of growing the game, despite now being the same as the PGA Tour. They discuss whether the top players will start to separate themselves even more given another 18 holes at every event, and also mention some new trademarks filed by the league for potential team names. The back half of this episode contains a bit of a Year in Review appetizer in the form of a Best 2025 Events Draft. The three briefly look back at the year and select their favorite highlights from the PGA Tour schedule and a few wildcards.

November 3, 2025 - Join us for a rapid reaction analysis of The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum (APEC) 2025 summit, held in Gyeongju, South Korea from October 31 to November 1. Our discussion examines all the most significant outcomes in terms of trade and geopolitics, with special emphasis on the US, Korea, and the US-Korea relationship. The priorities for this year's forum are: "Connect, Innovate, Prosper." In a preparatory meeting, senior officials from APEC members discussed "strategies for digital economy integration, public health cooperation, and strengthening APEC's role as an incubator of practical, consensus-driven solutions." As host nation, Korea's initiatives include: "addressing demographic change and the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence technology." We are joined by Kate Kalutkiewicz, Senior Managing Director of the Trade Practice & McLarty Inbound at McLarty Associates, Professor Jaemin Lee, Professor of Law at Seoul National University and Dean of the School of Law, and Scott Jacobs, Head of Global Public Policy at Coupang. The conversation will be moderated by policy director Jonathan Corrado and policy program officer Chelsie Alexandre. This program is made possible by the generous support of our individual and corporate members and the Korea Foundation. APEC originated as a ministerial meeting of 12 Asian Pacific countries in 1989. The idea for the forum was proposed by Australian Prime Minister Bob Hawke during a trip to Seoul in January 1989. A leaders' summit was introduced in 1993 and a series of expansions increased the number of members to 21. South Korea previously hosted the ministerial meeting in Seoul 1991 and the leaders' meeting in Busan 2005. APEC's mission is to "support sustainable economic growth and prosperity in the Asia-Pacific region." This program is co-hosted by The APEC Study Center at Columbia University.

Welcome back to Behind the Stays, presented by Journey. This episode kicks off a special series on the future of travel — conversations recorded live in Austin, Texas, at Expedia Group's EXPLORE Connect — a gathering that brought together some of the most powerful voices in travel tech alongside the top owners and operators of vacation rental management companies from around the world. I sat down with several of Expedia's most influential leaders — the folks guiding brands like Expedia, Hotels.com, and Vrbo — to unpack how they're reimagining discovery, bookings, and experiences in an AI-powered world. In this first conversation, I chat with Larry Plawsky, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Vrbo. And get this — this was actually Larry's first-ever podcast interview. Larry's a brand builder who's spent his career rooting for the underdog — from helping revive Old Spice back in the day to scaling massive two-sided marketplaces like Ticketmaster. And now, he's leading Vrbo into its next chapter within the Expedia Group ecosystem. We dive deep into: How Vrbo plans to take on Airbnb by doubling down on trust and quality — not just scale. The single biggest opportunity Larry sees to increase traveler confidence when booking a home. How Expedia's integrated network of brands — from Hotels.com to One Key — gives Vrbo a unique competitive edge. And how AI is already reshaping discovery on Vrbo — from smart sorting and review summaries to a vision of what travel planning could look like when chat-based search meets marketplace precision. Larry's thoughtful, humble, and sharp — a rare mix of brand soul and analytical rigor — and in this conversation, you'll hear exactly how one of the most iconic names in alternative accommodations plans to redefine trust and loyalty in the years ahead. So grab your coffee, settle in, and enjoy this special conversation with Larry Plawsky, SVP and General Manager of Vrbo, right here on Behind the Stays.   Behind the Stays is brought to you by Journey — a first-of-its-kind loyalty program that brings together an alliance of the world's top independently owned and operated stays and allows travelers to earn points and perks on boutique hotels, vacation rentals, treehouses, ski chalets, glamping experiences and so much more.
