Season 8 continues with a conversation about the new strategic direction at the David Eccles School of Business with a particular focus on student success. Jessica Taverna is the Associate Dean of Undergraduate Programs at the David Eccles School of Business. Frances and Jessica explore the department's comprehensive approach to enhancing the student experience, including new programs, retention strategies, and the importance of developing durable skills such as communication, resilience, and critical thinking. Jessica elaborates on reimagined programs like Business Scholars and Rising Business Leaders, emphasizing the need to create an integrated student experience that prepares students not just for immediate academic success, but for long-term career accomplishments and personal growth.Eccles Business Buzz is a production of the David Eccles School of Business and is produced by University fm.Episode Quotes:Jessica discusses what it means to have student success as the leading strategic priority in the planning process of the Eccles School[03:16] Looking at ways that we can involve students in faculty research. Involve students in the work that our centers and institutes are doing that are impacting the community or in corporate partners, but also have a space for students to be part of that experience. And that's really one of the great ways that we can leverage those things to enhance the student experience.Embedding students in a community[07:37] We really focus on the whole student and we really think about, how do we embed students in a community, which supports them in developing some of these other skills, like resilience, for example, that makes getting through the classes easier? It makes getting to graduation in a timely manner easier if you're also being supported and feeling like a whole person and a well person and someone who belongs to a community. And then that community experience, you're in classes with people, you're joining clubs with people, you're interacting with faculty and staff in workshops and luncheons, that then translates into your network, which I think is the other main thing that we deliver that is key to student success, is this group of people that are going to be, you never know who's going to be that person that's going to help you get that first job or the second job or the internship. [08:43] I think universities and the business school, the programming, both in the classroom and outside, creates this environment where you get embedded in a community and then that community becomes your network.Eccles School addresses the skills gap by equipping students with essential durable skills employers need[06:43] Employers highlighted one of the key challenges with what they're seeing with college grads is a lack of these durable skills. And I really love that term. We're talking about things like communication, interpersonal skills, even things like resilience, a little bit of grit, understanding how to bounce back from challenges, critical thinking, creativity, right? All of these things that we've, again, previously called soft skills, but are really core to life. And I love the term “durable” because I think it signifies, one, these endure through all aspects of your life. This isn't just even about your job. It's also things that you need in personal relationships. And if you're volunteering, other roles that you might have and they endure throughout your life. And so, a university education in a space like the Eccles School is differently positioned to actually do the work of building those kinds of skills in students.Equipping the students with a learning mindset to prepare them for the future.[34:55] I think the most important thing is mindset, and it's a learning mindset. What we need to be doing is helping students understand that at the end of the day, the most important thing is less that you've mastered a specific software tool or specific AI platform or model, but that you understand how these things work in general. Show Links:Jessica Taverna | LinkedInJessica Taverna | Faculty Profile at the David Eccles School of BusinessDavid Eccles School of Business (@ubusiness) | InstagramUndergraduate Scholars ProgramsRising Business LeadersEccles Alumni Network (@ecclesalumni) | Instagram Eccles Experience Magazine

Welcome back to another episode of School Counseling Simplified! This month, I'm excited to bring you guest sessions with experts, and today's episode is a special one. I have with me Kriya Lendzion, a school counselor turned prevention specialist who focuses on addiction prevention. Originally inspired by her personal journey through teen addiction, Kriya Lendzion is fiercely dedicated to helping educators prevent and intervene early in students' addictive and self-destructive behaviors. She combines her 23 years as a School Counselor with additional expertise as a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist, Certified Prevention Specialist, and Adolescent Therapist, providing schools across the globe with drug and alcohol education, professional development, curriculum, and consultation. Kriya splits her time between beautiful Asheville, North Carolina and Glastonbury, Connecticut. We're diving into how you can “addiction-proof” your students, covering everything from vaping to screens. Kriya's work is rooted in both experience and expertise—she's a former school counselor who has worked with diverse age groups, an addiction clinician, and now, a prevention specialist dedicated to helping schools implement effective drug education and early intervention strategies. Why Prevention Matters Students are constantly receiving messages that counteract what we teach about addiction. From social media to peer influence, they're often told that addiction is harmless. Our job as educators and counselors is to speak louder, more often, and in ways that truly reach them. Kriya outlines five key categories that help schools establish effective addiction prevention programs: 1. Research-Based Information (Science-Based Education) Information needs to be accurate, research-backed, and tailored to students' values and realities. Present information in a non-judgmental way—empowering students with knowledge and choice builds respect. Use passive reinforcement strategies like bulletin boards, signs, and classroom posters to keep prevention messaging visible. 2. Collaboration to Delay Substance Use Work across departments to help students delay substance use as long as possible. Curricular infusion: Integrate drug education into multiple subjects, making it a part of every student's learning. Foster school connectedness so that every student feels seen, valued, and supported. Provide parent and family resources so that parents have the right knowledge to engage in open, informed conversations with their children. Involve administration and peer-led programs to create a whole-school prevention culture. 3. Teaching Resistance Skills Equip students with practical tools to say no to addiction before they face pressure. Weave prevention programming into classes and school activities. Use media and storytelling to make lessons relatable. Start early with age-appropriate discussions—even in kindergarten. Instill strong values and goals that help students make healthier choices. Encourage collaboration among teachers, counselors, and parents to reinforce these lessons. 4. Value Exploration Activities Help students identify their own values and how addiction could impact them. Use reflective activities to help students connect their goals and aspirations with their choices. 5. Addressing Adolescent Needs Understand that addiction often stems from unmet needs. Provide healthy alternatives and coping strategies to help students navigate stress, emotions, and peer pressure. Final Thoughts Kriya's insights highlight the importance of proactive prevention strategies in schools. By implementing these five categories, we can empower students with knowledge, skills, and support to make healthy choices.

Three innovations to improve your learn to row classes and prevent drop-outs. Time to get your club organised for LTR 2025. What's new that you could do this year? Timestamps 00:45 Innovations in adult learn to row Clubs do these to grow their membership. New joiners are an investment in time and effort - it takes time before that pays off. Around one third of all masters rowers started to row as adults. There are two pathways into masters rowing - people who started in their youth and then come back later in life, and those who start as adult beginners. 02:00 How to run a good adult learn to row class. Buy the book Masters Rowing by Nolte & Fritsch - the chapter on how to structure and teach LTR is really good. Masters Rowing – Training for fitness, technique and competition – Volker Nolte & Wolfgang Fritsch https://amzn.to/3sYSXJB 03:00 First Lesson Experience The experience of your first lesson is very important to the success of the program. Can paperwork be done ahead of time? Rebecca starts with an interior tour of the boathouse, the oars, the boat types, the changing rooms. Handling the oars - how to hold the oar handle. How to put the oars on the dock, positioning so nobody trips. How to do the sculling crossover. Parts of the boat - how to open an oarlock, the button position, how to adjust the foot stretcher. Carrying the boat, getting in and out of the boat safely. 06:00 They start rowing. We don't give instruction about how to row in the first lesson. They do some confidence drills and then start rowing - working it out for themselves. This may sound like they've being pushed quickly into doing something they haven't been told how to do. This method serves a purpose - they work stuff out for themselves - take personal control. There is a lot of rest and waiting while others row in the first lesson. Short periods of rowing then stopping and talking or watching - a learning from Tony Buzan (the Mind Mapping man). 08:00 Involve the club You need volunteers to help, give support and be alongside the beginners. Ask those who did the prior learn to row class to be the helpers - they know enough. It helps the new beginners to see how quickly they'll learn. Invite them to coffee after the lesson. 09:40 Pricing a learn to row class Don't be afraid to charge for what you deliver. Do check prices of courses in nearby clubs. You do not have to be the cheapest class. You can offer payment plans. 11:00 Innovations in adult learn to row Bingo game - Michael Merwin gives a card to all participants - they have to do a lot of different things during the course. As they complete each cell, they check it off and a line of 4 wins a prize. Flexibility - teach in different types of boat Pontoon floats - enable a lot of different configurations of experienced and novice athletes. Each lesson, move people one seat down the boat. When you get to bow, rotate into the cox seat next lesson. Crew Bingo card https://fastermastersrowing.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/bingo.png Want easy live streams like this?

The next step is to make sure your giving really counts…and that's by aligning it with God's heart. David Wills is here today to help us do that.David Wills is President Emeritus of The National Christian Foundation (NCF). He is also the co-author of Investing in God's Business (The “How To” of Smart Christian Giving) and numerous articles and lectures nationwide.  The Three Big Questions of GenerosityWhen it comes to giving, most Christians wrestle with three fundamental questions:Why should I be generous?How do I give?Where should I give?The first two questions deal with the heart and the head—our motivations for generosity and the practical ways to implement it. But the third question—where should I give?—often receives less attention. Instead of starting with our passions, we should begin with God's priorities.God asks us to be generous on every occasion so that it brings Him glory and joy to our hearts. But instead of asking, “What am I passionate about?” We should ask, “What is God passionate about?”A Framework for Giving: The Three-by-Three GridTo help believers align their giving with God's priorities, David introduced a three-by-three framework that incorporates both geography and biblical causes.1. The Geography of GivingA great biblical guide for the where of giving comes from Acts 1:8:“You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”This verse provides a three-tiered approach to geographic giving:Local (Jerusalem)—Giving within our immediate communities, such as supporting our local church and meeting local needs. National (Judea and Samaria)—Supporting broader efforts within our country, including church planting, evangelism, and charitable organizations. International (Ends of the Earth)—Expanding generosity to global missions, Bible translation, and aid to those who have never heard the Gospel.Most people focus on what's right in front of them—their local church or nearby needs. However, a biblical giving strategy challenges us to think beyond our immediate surroundings.2. The Biblical Priorities of GivingScripture reveals three overarching themes that reflect God's heart for giving:The Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20)—Supporting efforts that spread the Gospel, such as evangelism, church planting, missions, and discipleship. The Greatest Commandment (Matthew 22:37-38)—Giving to ministries that help people grow in their love for God, including churches, theological education, and discipleship initiatives. The Great Compassion (Matthew 22:39)—Caring for our neighbors by giving to those in need—orphans, widows, the poor, and the vulnerable.These three biblical priorities form the vertical axis of the giving framework, while geography forms the horizontal axis.By overlaying these two dimensions—geography and biblical priorities—believers can develop a well-rounded and God-centered giving plan. This framework helps us see the gaps in our giving. Many believers focus on what's nearby, but God calls us to care for those who have never heard the Gospel or are in extreme need.Making Giving a Family PracticeOne of the most powerful aspects of this framework is its ability to teach children about generosity. Parents can use this model to discuss giving priorities as a family and even create a family giving plan that reflects God's heart.We encourage families to:Sit down together and map out their giving on the three-by-three frameworkDiscuss where they are giving too much or too little.Involve children in researching and selecting ministries that align with biblical priorities.Regularly review and adjust their giving strategy as a family.For those who want to track their giving over time, organizations like the National Christian Foundation (NCF) provide tools to help families and individuals monitor their generosity.Aligning Your Giving with God's HeartUltimately, giving isn't about following personal passions—it's about reflecting God's heart. By using a biblical framework for giving, we can be more intentional and experience greater joy in generosity.Take Action Today:Assess your current giving. Does it align with God's heart?Use the three-by-three framework to create a more balanced, intentional plan.Involve your family in discussions about generosity.Consider using a giving platform like NCF to track and refine your generosity over time.To read David's full article on this topic, explore Faithful Steward, FaithFi's new quarterly magazine.

With many macro headwinds for the wine world, Gino Colangelo, founder of Colangelo PR, felt the negative and often poorly fact-checked press around alcohol and health posed an existential threat. Teaming with Karen McNeil of The Wine Bible and fellow PR leader Kimberly Charles, they founded Come Over October, a campaign to create a positive narrative around wine. With freely available media assets and over 120 partners, the movement, in its first stretch, has shown the power of focusing on the positive elements of wine.  Detailed Show Notes: Macro wine challenges include marijuana, Ozempic, and RTDs, but “no alcohol is healthy” messages from WHO and other gov't organizations potentially pose an existential threat to the industryCome Over October (“COO”) foundingCampaign to advocate for wineCommission research - 60%+ 21-39-year-olds would change consumption if alcohol health guidelines changed, 60%+ participate in Dry January or Sober October (which equates to 17% of the year)Karen McNeil, writer of The Wine Bible, got backlash over post against Dry January and ideated Come Over OctoberKimberly Charles, owner of an SF wine PR firm, joined as co-founderStarted the company in spring 2024 (Come Together, a Community for Wine) as a mission-driven company to advocate for wineFundamental principlesHad to reach consumersNo negativity towards other alcoholic beveragesInvolve everyone in the wine worldThe goal for success: turning the narrative around wine positive (e.g., more articles on the social benefits of wine)Measured by impressions of negative vs. positive articles about wineIn a battle for hearts and minds vs just getting the facts rightAsked for two things from partnersModest check - $1-10k to pay for campaign, website, social media, media asset creationActivation - use campaign assets (free to all) to run a COO campaignExample activationsTotal Wine - in-store signage, direct marketing, social media postsConstellation Brands - bought in-store radio ads for 800 Kroger stores under the COO banner (promoting Kim Crawford, Meiomi, & The Prisoner with Karen McNeil doing voiceover) and reversed negative sales trends in storesJackson Family - free tasting, events, cash support for COOCampaign success metrics120 companies participated>1,000 retail stores engaged (e.g., Kroger, Total Wine, Gary's)~$100k donated media (e.g., Wine Enthusiast, Vinepair, Wine Spectator)Next Campaign - Spring 2025Focus on the food messageDifferentiate wine as food vs alcoholContinue togetherness messageBring in chefs, restaurantsThen roll back into OctoberWould like to hire a Director to run the companyHealth debateLoneliness epidemic - 30% of males don't have close friendsWine has a unique ability for positive wellness in bringing people togetherDoes the industry need a positive health message/research to turn things around truly?

“I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.” - 3 John 1:4In that verse, the Apostle John praises his friend Gaius and other believers for their generosity toward missionaries. As parents, we want our children to be generous toward God's Kingdom. Dr. Art Rainer joins us today with some steps we can take to grow our kids in generosity.Dr. Art Rainer is the founder of the Institute for Christian Financial Health and Christian Money Solutions. He is also the author of The Money Challenge: 30 Days of Discovering God's Design for You and Your Money and the Secret Slide Money Club, a book series designed to teach young readers about God's way of being wise with money. Why Teaching Generosity MattersParenting is a high calling. Everything we say and do influences our children's lives, shaping their worldview and their relationship with God. Generosity is part of God's plan for His people, so we must intentionally guide our kids away from selfishness and toward selflessness.But how do we teach children to be generous when human nature tends to favor holding on rather than giving away? It starts with a few key principles.1. Model GratefulnessBefore kids can learn to give, they must first recognize the blessings they've received. A heart of gratitude fosters a heart of generosity.Regularly express thankfulness for the resources God has given your family. Teach your children that everything belongs to God—we are simply stewards of His gifts. Share stories of how generosity has impacted your own life and how giving frees us from the grip of money.Gratefulness leads to an open-handed posture toward money and possessions.2. Talk About GenerosityChildren won't naturally connect giving to their faith unless we explain it to them. Conversations about generosity help shape their understanding of why we give.Explain that we give because God first gave to us (John 3:16). Share personal testimonies of times when generosity blessed others—or when you were blessed by someone else's generosity. Connect giving to the gospel: Just as God gave us His Son, we reflect His love when we give to others.3. Model Generosity in Everyday LifeKids have a strong radar for hypocrisy. If we talk about generosity but don't practice it, they'll notice. That's why we must demonstrate generosity in tangible ways.Let them see you giving—to your church, to charities, or to people in need. Discuss the needs of others. Ask them, “Have you ever needed help? How did it feel when someone helped you?” Involve them in acts of giving, such as donating food, helping a neighbor, or supporting a ministry.When children witness generosity in action, they begin to understand its value.4. Let Them Earn and GiveFor kids to truly grasp generosity, they need to experience both the sacrifice and joy of giving. One way to do this is by allowing them to earn their own money.Provide opportunities for them to do small jobs or earn an allowance. Encourage them to set aside a portion for giving, just as they do for saving and spending. Let them choose where to give—whether it's to the church, a missionary, or a local charity.Handling their own money makes giving more meaningful and personal.5. Prioritize Giving to the Local ChurchOne of the best ways to instill a habit of generosity is by encouraging children to give to their church.Introduce them to pastors and missionaries so they can see how their giving impacts the Kingdom. Show them how to give—let them physically place money in the offering plate rather than only giving online. Reinforce that their giving contributes to something much bigger than themselves.6. Encourage Giving with Joy, Not GuiltGiving should be joyful, not forced. Pressuring kids to give out of obligation can lead to resentment rather than a cheerful heart. Instead, celebrate their generosity and show them the blessings that come from giving freely.As 2 Corinthians 9:7 reminds us, “God loves a cheerful giver.”Raising generous children requires intentionality. By modeling gratefulness, discussing generosity, and providing opportunities for them to give, we can help shape their hearts to reflect God's generosity.Want to dive deeper into this topic?

The person I talked to said I would get an 8,600-dollar bonus immediately if I invested the $60,000. He also said I could take out 20% of the annuity after two years. What do you think about this annuity option?I am 51 years old. I retire at the end of next year and have a state pension. In addition, I also have some 401ks and 403bs that I've tapped into over the last, you know, 30 years that I've been employed or contributed to. Instead, what do I do with those 401k's and 403B's at that time of retirement?Half of my portfolio is in real estate, and the other half is in stocks. The old advice was to move more into bonds as you get older, but bonds haven't done well lately while the stock market has been incredible.

Listen to this interview of Roberto Verdecchia, Assistant Professor, University of Florence, Italy; and also, Per Runeson, Professor, Lund University, Sweden. We talk about their coauthored papers Threats to Validity in Software Engineering Research: A Critical Reflection (IST 2023) and Threats to Validity in Software Engineering — hypocritical paper section or essential analysis? (ESEM 2024). Per Runeson : "I think what we've seen in our work here on threats to validity — and it was certainly our intention in conducting it in the first place — is, to have the researcher take the initiative and really adopt a reflective attitude. Because, research is not only about investigating facts and testing hypotheses. It's also about reflecting on the learning process, and it's about the extent to which you can trust what you've learned in doing that research, but also it's about the way forward from there, that is, how do we take the work forward into the future."

How to Achieve Your Long-term GoalsAchieving long-term financial goals can be challenging due to a phenomenon known as delayed reward discounting, where individuals struggle to prioritize future gains over immediate gratification. This podcast episode delves into the importance of setting clear, quantifiable Queer Money goals that resonate personally, as well as understanding the underlying motivation behind these goals. The hosts discuss the significance of taking action by establishing dedicated accounts for each goal and automating savings to streamline the process. By sharing financial aspirations with friends and family, especially within the LGBTQ community, individuals can create accountability and inspire one another. Ultimately, listeners are encouraged to focus on both the practical steps of financial planning and the psychological aspects that can lead to sustained success.The psychological phenomenon of delayed reward discounting often impedes our ability to achieve long-term goals, leading many to set the same New Year's resolutions year after year without progress. This episode addresses this issue head-on, inviting listeners to explore the intricate relationship between our aspirations and the actions—or inactions—that follow. The hosts introduce the concept of 'Queer Money Goals,' a framework designed to help individuals articulate their financial objectives in a way that is not only measurable but also exciting and relevant to their lives. This framework encourages the identification of significant long-term goals, or 'rocks,' while also acknowledging the importance of 'pebbles' (medium-term goals) and 'sand' (short-term desires) in the overall financial landscape.Show NotesA captivating metaphor of a jar filled with rocks, pebbles, sand, and water is utilized throughout the discussion to illustrate how prioritizing major goals can create a solid foundation for achieving smaller, immediate aims. The hosts stress the necessity of understanding one's 'why' behind each goal, which serves as a key motivator during challenging times. Furthermore, they advocate for automation in financial planning, suggesting that setting up direct deposits and automated savings can streamline the process and eliminate the temptation to divert funds from important goals. This not only simplifies budgeting but also contributes to building a healthier financial future.The episode culminates in a call to action for listeners to socialize their goals, particularly within the LGBTQ community, to foster accountability and inspiration. By sharing financial aspirations with friends and family, individuals can create a supportive network that encourages progress and celebrates milestones. The hosts conclude by outlining five essential steps for effective long-term financial planning, leaving listeners with a clear roadmap to navigate their financial journeys. This episode serves as an empowering guide for anyone looking to redefine their financial future by embracing both the challenges and triumphs of goal-setting.Takeaways: Delayed reward discounting makes achieving long-term goals difficult, leading to procrastination and distraction. Success is not a one-time event but a series of small, consistent actions over time. Establish your Queer Money goals by ensuring they are quantifiable, understandable, and relevant to you. Automate your savings and bills to simplify your financial journey and reduce stress. Involve your friends and family in your financial goals to create accountability and support. Understanding your 'why' behind your goals helps maintain motivation during challenging times.

Starting a corporate podcast can be a daunting task, and one of the biggest mistakes you can make is choosing a host who isn't fully committed to the project. The importance of selecting a passionate host who understands the podcast is a company initiative, not a personal platform. He shares valuable insights from his extensive experience in the podcasting industry, highlighting the need for a shared email account for access and continuity, and the significance of defining a clear purpose for the podcast. Organizations risk viewing it as an expendable expense during tough times without a strong reason for starting the podcast. I also discusses tracking the podcast's effectiveness, ensuring it serves its intended audience and objectives.Takeaways: It's crucial to select a podcast host who genuinely wants to participate in the project. Ensure that all podcast services are registered with a generic company email for access. Identify a clear purpose for starting the podcast beyond just following trends. Involve multiple team members in the podcast to avoid dependence on a single host. Track podcast effectiveness with measurable goals to justify its continuation during tough times. Avoid making the podcast feel like a commercial; focus on delivering value to the listeners. This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: OP3 - https://op3.dev/privacy

Leslie Zane, Founder and CEO of Triggers® Brand Consulting, and author of "The Power of Instinct: The New Rules of Persuasion in Business and Life."  Leslie explains that our instinctive, unconscious mind makes up about 95% of our daily choices, and marketers who focus on this instead of logical appeals see the strongest brand results. Leslie unpacks the concept of growth triggers, small but powerful cues that embed positive associations with a brand and override past negative perceptions. She also reveals why emotional marketing has limited long-term impact and urges brands to adopt strategies that leverage familiarity and instinct to grow lasting loyalty. Leslie touches on the Age of Instinct, a term she uses to describe today's emphasis on behavioral science and AI in decision-making. With marketing now focused more on the unconscious mind, Leslie believes that the future of branding is driven by the brain's associative power. She breaks down the difference between “uniqueness” and “distinctiveness” in marketing, advocating for strategies that balance fresh ideas with a sense of the familiar.  Leslie's insights challenge traditional marketing rules and provide a roadmap for leaders looking to grow authentically by aligning with the natural ways the human brain makes decisions.     Key Takeaways [03:24] Leslie explains that Kahneman's research emphasizes the unconscious mind's major role in decision-making, responsible for about 95% of our choices. However, the marketing industry mistakenly interpreted this as needing emotional appeals, which don't lead to long-lasting brand loyalty. Leslie stresses that emotional connection is an outcome, not an input, for effective persuasion. [07:59] Leslie shares that in the 90s, her work on instinctive decision-making was met with resistance, as behavioral science was not yet widely recognized in the business world. She felt isolated as she advocated for a focus on instinctive mind, a concept that took 30 years to gain mainstream acceptance. [16:31] Leslie describes the brand connectome as the network of associations tied to a brand that resides in the unconscious mind. Brands grow stronger as they develop positive, distinctive, and familiar connections over time, ultimately leading to instinctive consumer choices. [20:04] Leslie says “growth triggers” act like a brand's “miracle grow.” These are sensory cues, like McDonald's “fresh cracked egg” imagery, that add positive associations to a brand quickly, reversing negative perceptions and strengthening consumer loyalty. [25:09] Leslie notes that persuasion within a company requires treating ideas like brands. To achieve internal buy-in, she suggests building familiarity over time rather than introducing fully formed ideas. Involve key influencers in early stages, allowing people to “co-create” the idea, which increases acceptance and support. Leslie emphasizes that frequent exposure to an idea builds comfort and familiarity, making it more likely to be embraced. [28:31] Leslie discusses how the current era of AI and behavioral science emphasizes the unconscious mind's influence in business. As AI advances, it enables marketers to connect with consumers on an instinctive level, signaling a shift toward the Age of Instinct in decision-making. [32:40] Leslie highlights that while behavioral science and AI are powerful tools for persuasion, they raise ethical concerns. She stresses the importance of ethical marketing practices, as companies may manipulate consumers without their awareness. Leslie warns that as AI technology progresses, it is essential for the industry to remain vigilant, ensuring human control and prioritizing consumer well-being to prevent overstepping ethical boundaries. [39:18] And remember, “Your mind knows only some things. Your inner voice, your instinct, knows everything. If you listen to what you know instinctively, it will always lead you down the right path.” - Henry Winkler   Quotable Quotes "Emotional connection should be the outcome, not the input." "The instinctive mind calls the shots in branding and decision-making – that's where marketers need to focus." "Familiarity beats uniqueness – a brand's strength lies in building familiar, positive associations." "Instinct is the most powerful force for changing human behavior – leverage it to make your brand unforgettable." "Growth triggers act like 'miracle grow' for brands, adding positive associations that change consumer perception." "The brand connectome is a mental network – the larger and more positive it is, the stronger the brand loyalty." "Marketing to the conscious mind won't drive long-term loyalty. Our unconscious choices hold the power." "Distinctiveness, not uniqueness, makes a brand memorable – give consumers something fresh that still feels familiar." "Stop trying to persuade people; instead, align with the mind's natural instincts and your brand will grow." "We're in the Age of Instinct, where behavioral science and AI unlock new ways to connect with consumers."   This is the book mentioned in this episode Resources Mentioned The Leadership Podcast | Sponsored by | Rafti Advisors.

CartiHeal implants, made from coral exoskeletons may just be the magic bullet for thousands whose knees are only partially damaged.
