Should Canada be ashamed of its own history — or honest about it?In this episode of The LeDrew Three Minute Interview, Stephen LeDrew speaks with Mark Johnson, lawyer, columnist, and founder of Save Our History, about how the Town Council refuses to restore a Sir John A. Macdonald statue in Picton, Ontario.Johnson explains that the statue was originally installed through local fundraising and private support, without cost to the municipality. It recognized Macdonald's connection to Picton, where Canada's first prime minister began his legal career. But in 2021, amid national controversy over residential schools and the Kamloops graves misinformation, the statue was removed and placed in storage.Now, Johnson and Save Our History are pushing for the statue to be returned to public view.The conversation covers:Why the Sir John A. Macdonald statue was removed in PictonThe role of activists and local political pressureWhether Canadian history is being erased instead of debatedThe broader trend of removing statues and renaming public spacesThe controversy over historical figures like Macdonald and ChamplainWhy Johnson believes Canadians should learn from history without hiding itAnd whether local politicians are giving in to pressure instead of public opinionLeDrew and Johnson argue that history should be understood in full — not reduced to present-day political slogans. They acknowledge that historical figures were imperfect, but question whether removing statues helps Canadians understand the country's past.Learn more about Save Our History:saveourhistory.caContribute To Information and Debate that is NOT Paid For, and Influenced,ByThe Carney Government:https://paypal.me/3minuteinterviewCheques accepted at:Stephen LeDrew303 Bay StreetToronto, OntarioM5H 2R1Follow Stephen on other social media platforms.https://www.stephenledrew.ca / stephen.ledrew / stephenledrew Hosted on Acast.

Today's guest is a Grammy winner, a two-time Billboard #1 artist, and one of the defining pop voices of the last decade. But her real story isn't the anthems or the awards. It's the part that plays like a rollercoaster and teaches like a masterclass: how she almost quit, what going #1 actually felt like, and everything about the music business nobody explains until you've survived it.The press version skips the touring deficits, the depression at the top, and the moment in an Echo Park apartment when she nearly took a job at Smoothie King. The question underneath everything she says: once you stop chasing the metric and the moment — who do you become?And The Writer Is... Lizzo!In this episode of And The Writer Is, we go deep on:• Why she wanted to quit music the day "Truth Hurts" went #1 — and the 2017 low point that was actually worse• The touring economics no one explains: how you gross $1M and still finish the year in the red• Why the indie grind that built her, in her view, no longer leads to the mainstream• "She stopped giving a fuck about what we wanted" — Beyoncé's self-titled as a blueprint for artistic autonomy• Why she only talks to people who buy her music — and what comment sections do to her nervous system• The bumper-sticker hook theory — why "Truth Hurts" works when it breaks every rule• Writing "About Damn Time": 83 versions of the chorus, and how the simplest line won• Robert Glasper's lesson: there's no such thing as a wrong note• Why good songs don't sound great at first — watching "Good as Hell" go from silly to gospel• "I make whatever the f*** I want" — and why arriving at that sentence took everything before itAnd much more...

Have you ever inherited something you didn't ask for?In Romans 5:12–13, the Apostle Paul traces the origin of sin and death all the way back to one man... Adam. His one act of disobedience set something in motion that no human being has been able to stop, fix, or outrun. And every person born into this world has received the same broken inheritance.But that's not where the story ends.In this sermon, we walk through three truths from Romans 5:12–13:Sin didn't start with you but it belongs to youDeath is the proof, not just the penaltyThe law reveals the problem, it doesn't solve itAnd then we look at the good news: the same "one man" logic that brought death to all is the exact logic God used to bring life to all who receive Jesus Christ.If you've ever felt the weight of patterns you didn't choose, guilt you can't shake, or a sense that something is broken at the root, this message is for you.

"It's in their constitution to be injured.""We've bred them to be like this."Both of these came up in the same conversation — and the paradox sitting between them is one of the patterns Jessie McCarthy's research surfaces about how racing talks to itself about risk.In this week's episode, Karen and Meta sit down with Jessie McCarthy, a final-year veterinary student at the University of Surrey, with a Master's in Animal Welfare, Ethics and Law from the University of Glasgow. Her recently published paper, co-authored with Euan Bennett and Heather Cameron-Whytock, takes a less common approach to social licence in racing: rather than starting from outside the sport, she interviewed twelve insiders about how they perceive the risks horses face, and the language they reach for when things go wrong.What emerges is a quietly revealing portrait of a sport in conversation with itself. Risk often gets reframed as a communication problem rather than a welfare one.Responsibility gets dispersed across the sport — until, as Jessie's research shows, it often quietly settles on the horses themselves. Their fragility. Their nature. Their breeding.But of course — we bred them.In this conversation, we explore:Why the words we reach for ("accident," "incident," "adverse event") shape what we believe is possibleHow tradition and identity in the horse world can act as a brake on reformPin firing, generational change, and what the next generation of equine vets is choosing differentlyWhy a horse's welfare may be shaped less by race day than by the other 360 daysThe question of equine consent — and why only one of twelve stakeholders raised itAnd, offered any wish in the world, Jessie's is gloriously simple: more turnout, more friends, more forageA thoughtful, generous conversation with a young vet whose research invites the horse world — insiders and outsiders alike — to reflect on the stories we've inherited.

What does it really mean to be a church member?In Part 2 of this message, we move beyond attendance and tradition and step into the biblical reality of church membership—not as a title, but as a calling.This message challenges us to see ourselves not as spectators, but as essential parts of the body of Christ. When one part holds back, the whole body feels it. When we step in, take responsibility, and operate in love, the church becomes everything God designed it to be.You'll hear powerful truths about:Why membership is not optional—but essentialHow murmuring and passivity slow down the churchWhat it means to be a functioning member vs. just attendingWhy love is not just a feeling—but the operating system of the churchHow your words can either build unity or quietly destroy itAnd the call to stop waiting—and give your all nowThis is not a message about doing more.It's a message about becoming who God has called you to be within His body.If you've ever felt like you're just “going to church,” this message will challenge you to be the church.Key Scripture References:Acts 6:1–7 | 1 Corinthians 12–13 | John 13:35 | Colossians 3:14 | 1 Peter 3:10 | James 3:6
Send us Fan MailThe fight over FISA surveillance just exposed something bigger than politics.For years, politicians warned that government spying programs were being abused — especially during the Russia investigation and the Carter Page controversy. Now, many of those same voices are supporting an extension of the very same surveillance powers they once criticized.So what changed?In this video, we break down:What FISA Section 702 actually doesWhy it's been so controversialThe recent vote in Congress and why it failedWhy some Republicans are now opposing it while leadership pushes to extend itAnd what this reveals about how power really works in WashingtonThis isn't just about Democrats vs Republicans — it's about how government power tends to stay the same no matter who's in charge.If you care about privacy, surveillance, and how political narratives shift depending on who holds power, this is a story you need to understand.

What happens when you let AI price your home?In this episode of Life at Ten Tenths, Garrett and Matt decided to run a real-world experiment. They each asked AI to:Analyze their homesSuggest a list priceAnd generate an offer strategy from the buyer sideThe results? Jump into the conversation... We unpack:How AI analyzes real estate pricingWhy buyer and seller bias still shows up in the dataWhere AVMs fall short (especially on unique properties)How emotional fair market value actually gets createdWhy agents shouldn't fear AI — but must understand itAnd the real question: will consumers trust AI more than you?This isn't about whether AI is accurate today. It's about where this is heading.Buyers and sellers are already using these tools. The agents who understand how they work — and how to add value beyond them — will be the ones who win in the next decade.

Easy to work with.So why are you still not the obvious choice for promotion?Because this isn't a confidence problem....It's a visibility problem.In Part 2 of this series, we flip the script.You'll learn why being “easy to work with” is quietly holding you back—and what actually gets you promoted instead. (Hint: it's about becoming the safest bet in the room.)We're breaking down:The real difference between being liked vs. being trusted with moreWhy promotions are risk decisions (not rewards for hard work)The dangerous gap between what you do and what your boss actually sees3 powerful shifts to go from reliable → promotableHow to start translating your work so leadership gets itAnd if you've ever felt overlooked—even though you KNOW you're capable—this episode is going to change how you show up starting today.Because you don't need more confidence....You need to be more understood.
Send us Fan MailWhat if everything you were taught about holiness…was backwards?For a lot of people, holiness has meant distance.Distance from “those people.”Distance from anything messy.Distance from anything that doesn't fit the mold.But in this message, Dan Minor flips that idea on its head:Holiness was never about who you avoid.It's about who you move toward.Because if holiness means “set apart”…the real question is:Set apart from what?Or set apart for who?When Jesus showed up, he didn't build distance.He built tables.He didn't avoid outsiders.He identified with them.He didn't protect his “holiness” from people.He brought it into proximity with people.And that's where things get uncomfortable.Because maybe the issue isn't “them.”Maybe the issue is how quickly we decide who them is.This message goes straight at the tension:The people the church has written offThe labels we've used to excludeThe theology we've twisted to justify itAnd it calls out something we don't like to admit:We've used holiness as a weapon…when it was meant to be a bridge.Dan unpacks what words like holiness and sin actually meant, exposing how far we've drifted from their original intent. Because what if “sinners” weren't who we think they were?What if they were just…people who didn't fit the system?And what if Jesus didn't come to reinforce that system…but to tear it down?Because here's the reality:If Jesus was sitting at the table today…he'd still be with the people religion pushed out.And if we're honest—that might make us uncomfortable.So this message forces the question:Are we becoming more like Jesus…or just more like the people who questioned him?Because true holiness doesn't create distance.It creates proximity, dignity, and belonging.And if it crushes people…it's not Jesus.#HarvestSarasota#DanMinor#Holiness#ChurchReform#FaithDeconstruction#JesusModel#Inclusion#TableNotWalls#FaithAndCulture#SpiritualGrowth#LoveLikeJesus#ChristianityToday#ChurchHealing#Belonging Support the showHarvest is a fully affirming, inclusive (including the LGBTQ+ community) progressive Christian church located in Sarasota, Florida.Follow us on Social Media:Instagram - Instagram.com/harvestsarasotaFacebook - Facebook.com/harvestsarasotaTikTok CLICK HEREDONATE to support our podcast HERERecorded live at Harvest Church in Sarasota by Michael Thomas Regina and Stephen Lehman of Boardtown Creative
This week on Chemistry, we're getting real about creativity, culture, and what it actually takes to stand out.We kick things off talking about the balance between work and joy—whether it's finishing a game, dropping visuals, or just making space to create without guilt.Then we dive into a bigger conversation:Jack Harlow, “Black music,” and where authenticity really mattersThe difference between appreciation vs culture vulturingWhy some artists get a pass… and others don'tFrom there, we get into a heated discussion on technique vs creativity in dance:Do you actually need technique to be great?When does training help… and when does it hold you back?Why social media “experts” are confusing a whole generationWe also talk about:Why musicality is disappearing in younger dancersHow TikTok is shaping (and hurting) creativityThe importance of actually feeling music, not just performing itAnd of course… we had to throw in some R&B “this or that” debates
If you've ever played a simple game with friends and thought, “Hey, this should be easy,” — congratulations, you've never met this group.On this episode of The Rizzuto Show, your favorite funny podcast kicks off with a completely normal discussion about National Cocktail Day, cheesesteaks, and chocolate-covered raisins… before immediately taking a hard left turn into tuberculosis caves. Because obviously that's where morning radio should go.Then comes Mind Meld — a game that sounds simple in theory: say the same word as your partner. That's it. That's the whole game. And yet somehow, this funny podcast manages to turn it into a psychological thriller where nobody trusts anyone and every answer feels like a personal attack.You'll hear:One of the cleanest wins ever (“doctor hoodie” becoming “lab coat” like actual geniuses)One of the most painful failures in show history (we're looking at you, “tissue” instead of “clown”)A heated debate about whether “coffee table” counts as one word (spoiler: it derails everything)Multiple rounds where they are SO CLOSE… and still miss itAnd a final cowboy-themed comeback that somehow restores faith in humanity (briefly)There's yelling, second-guessing, accidental brilliance, and moments where you will absolutely scream at your speakers because the answer is so obvious it hurts.This is what makes The Rizzuto Show the funny podcast you keep coming back to — not because they get it right, but because watching them get it wrong is way more entertaining.If you like your comedy messy, your logic questionable, and your mornings filled with chaos, you're in the right place.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Today's episode of The Rizzuto Show is what happens when a funny podcast completely derails before it even starts—and honestly, we wouldn't have it any other way.We kick things off with technical difficulties because the cameras decided to clock out early (respect, honestly), sending the show into a mild existential crisis before we pivot into March Madness betting updates. Some of us are winning money… others are just emotionally invested and confused.Then things really go off the rails with a game that proves none of us should ever be trusted with geography. Colleges, states, basic knowledge—optional at best. It's a humbling moment for a funny podcast that prides itself on… well, not much.But the real centerpiece of today's chaos? The “time blindness” debate. Is it a legitimate cognitive issue or just a fancy way of saying “I didn't leave the house on time”? The crew goes back and forth with real stories, relationship struggles, and just enough yelling to make it feel like Thanksgiving dinner came early.Also in this episode:A woman shows up 90 minutes late to her own party (bold, chaotic, unforgivable?)A hospital patient refuses to leave for FIVE MONTHS because… why not?People are now staying awake during plastic surgery (absolutely not)A fermented fish experiment goes horribly wrongSnake yoga exists and we hate itAnd somehow we end with a full breakdown of fart science like the professionals we areIt's messy, it's ridiculous, and it's exactly what you expect from a funny podcast that thrives on everyday chaos, questionable decisions, and brutally honest takes.If you've ever been late, judged someone for being late, or just want to feel better about your own life choices—this episode is for you.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
What happens when you implement a “strategy” meant to build relationships… but it starts feeling mechanical, scripted — or worse, manipulative?In this episode of Life at Ten Tenths, Garrett and Matt unpack the subtle but critical difference between asking great questions and “Fording” people.This conversation started with a phone call that felt off. All the right questions were asked — but none of it felt genuine.Inside the episode, we talk about:Why scripted curiosity can quietly backfireThe difference between commonality and forced connectionHow to anchor conversations in what's real and presentWhen professional calls are powerful (and when they're awkward)Why real estate is always there — you don't have to chase itAnd how genuine care unlocks referrals you simply can't manufactureYou can ask the right questions in the wrong way.And people can feel the difference.If you're building a relationship-based business, this episode will challenge how you show up on your next client call — and help you make sure your systems feel human.
In this episode of the Harvest Growth Podcast, Jon LaClare sits down with Andrew Reist, founder and CEO of Valley Pets, to share the story behind Belly Guard — a pet recovery suit that started with just 26 test units and grew into an eight-figure brand. Drawing from his background in engineering and product development, Andrew explains how a personal problem with his own dog led to a practical innovation that now helps pets recover more comfortably after surgery.Andrew walks through the early stages of building the business, including why he intentionally started small, lost money on every unit at first, and treated those early sales as a way to buy learning instead of immediate profit. The conversation highlights the value of product-market fit, low-risk validation, and why founders should focus on learning quickly before scaling aggressively.The episode also explores how Belly Guard expanded beyond Amazon, broke into Chewy, and grew by adding sales channels instead of immediately broadening the product line. Along the way, Andrew shares lessons on hiring contractors, using freelance experts strategically, managing the transition from founder-does-everything mode, and making the leap from a full-time job into entrepreneurship.If you're building a product brand, testing a new idea, or trying to scale without overcommitting too early, this episode offers practical insight from someone who grew steadily, learned fast, and built a category-leading business through smart decisions over time.In today's episode of the Harvest Growth Podcast, we cover:How Belly Guard was inspired by a real problem with Andrew's own dogWhy Andrew started with just 26 units instead of a large inventory orderHow losing money early helped validate the product and reduce long-term riskWhat founders should learn before worrying about short-term profitsHow Belly Guard got into Chewy and why that accelerated growthWhy expanding channels can sometimes matter more than expanding product linesHow Andrew used contractors and freelance experts to grow more efficientlyThe realities of leaving a full-time job to run a business full timeWhy a great product makes marketing easier — but never replaces itAnd so much more!Want to connect with Andrew?Visit ValleyPets.com or TheBellyGuard.com to learn more.

Most marriages don't blow up overnight.They drift.They drift from us… to the family… and eventually to two exhausted roommates running a daycare.Once kids enter the picture, something subtle but dangerous often happens: the couple stops being the center of the relationship. Not out of malice. Not because anyone planned it. It just happens.And in most marriages, if nobody actively protects the couple, the marriage slowly disintegrates.From what I see, this responsibility usually falls on the man — and when he pushes for dates, intimacy, boundaries, or adult connection, he's often shamed for it.I break down:Why marriages predictably shift into “kids first, marriage last”Why this creates dead bedrooms and quiet resentmentWhy men get labeled selfish for trying to fix itAnd why a strong marriage actually serves kids better than a child-centered oneIf this topic hits home, you'll want to check out my book The Dead Bedroom Fix and the Help For Men Brotherhood — where guys are having these conversations honestly, without being shamed.
Start Your Transformation Now If you're like me you've heard it a million times growing up… “You have to work hard” to have a great life, get ahead, have financial security, etc, etc.Right? It was drilled into our heads by society and our parents and family, and here's the thing, it's just not true. After all, you see people working hard for a lifetime and they have little to nothing to show for it. In this episode I talk about:[1:13] Why working hard mostly likely won't make you rich[9:58] How physics demonstrates that we don't have to work hard to attract wealth[16:59] Why physics applies to your life and your money[19:41] How science and ancient wisdom merge in this area[20:02] Why worrying about money actually repels itAnd three powerful books that will actually help you develop your wealth and prosperity consciousness. The truth is this, great abundance does not come from hard work, it comes from your money consciousness. Many of the motivational speakers and internet personalities are yelling all day long about “hustle, and hard work and grind” and none of them have a clue that that approach generally repels the very wealth that you want. Listen, apply, and enjoy! Transformational Takeaway You will not be rich until you feel rich.

Welcome to Heddels Blowout. The show where we explore one thing, from watch caps to flip flops, and tell you all about:Why it's importantWhere it came fromHow it's madeWho's making them todayHow to take care of itAnd, the real reason you're here, your ears were cold because your hat is rolled up and you needed to put on some headphones.That's right, we're talking about watch caps today.The knit cap. The skullcap. The beanie. The toque. Whatever the name you choose, tracking down the history of this now-ubiquitous piece of headgear may prove frustrating. Every cold part of the world that needed to keep their ears and head warm while at work and play invented some variant of the watch cap.The history may not be straightforward, but everyone knows the end of this story. This cap becomes one of the most worn and frequently lost accessories in the modern wardrobe. In my younger days, I would lose at least one per season to a dive bar vinyl booth. So warm up and dig into this week's obsession over the watch cap.If you liked what you've been hearing, please let us and other people know with a reviewOur email address is blowout@heddels.com and we also have our discord running so you can bother me directly if you like!https://discord.gg/GA978xdP

He did it the same way many executives and employees are doing it right now — fast, iterative, and dangerously close to sensitive data.The team dives into the real question companies are facing:How do you enable innovation without undermining your cybersecurity posture?They unpack:Why blocking AI tools outright doesn't work (remember Dropbox?)The identity and credential risks most teams aren't thinking aboutWhat “reasonable controls” actually look like in the age of vibe codingWhy security teams need to support experimentation — not just police itAnd how life (and AI) will “find a way” whether you're ready or notIf your CEO is experimenting with AI… or your finance team just connected a database to a chatbot… this episode is your playbook for getting ahead of the freight train.Innovation is fun. FOMO is real. Risk is optional — if you're intentional.Listen in and learn how to keep vibe coding from becoming breach coding.
School Behaviour Secrets with Simon Currigan and Emma Shackleton
Emotional regulation is not a curriculum - and treating it like one backfires.Many pupils can explain their emotions, name calming strategies, and talk confidently about what they “should” do… yet still struggle to cope when things get hard in the classroom.In this episode of School Behaviour Secrets, you'll learn why teaching emotional regulation as a set of lessons often doesn't work, and how schools can accidentally make things worse by confusing facts about regulation with emotional regulation skills.Using a real-world pupil story, we break down:Why recalling strategies often fails when children are dysregulatedHow automatic behaviours always win under stressWhy motivation doesn't come first – and what should replace itAnd how regulation is built through repeated, practical, supported experiences, not curriculum contentYou'll also hear a simple, classroom-friendly model – Co-regulation, Practise, Fade - to help pupils develop regulation through co-regulation, without adding more programmes or workload.If you're supporting pupils who “know the strategies” but still struggle in the moment, this episode will help you reframe what's really going on - and what actually helps.Important links:Get your FREE Beacon School Support guide to helping children manage their strong emotionsGet our FREE SEND Behaviour Handbook: https://beaconschoolsupport.co.uk/send-handbookDownload other FREE behaviour resources for use in school: https://beaconschoolsupport.co.uk/resources.php
Overcorrection & Perfectionism: Your Greatest Liability or Your Scaling Edge?Perfectionism gets a bad reputation.And honestly? Sometimes it deserves it.In this episode, we're talking about the real relationship women have with overcorrection and perfectionism in business especially when it comes to content creation, offer building, and visibility.Because here's the truth:For high-capacity women, overcorrection isn't random.It's a trauma response.It's a control strategy.It's a safety mechanism.It shows up as: • Rewriting the caption 12 times • Refilming the reel because your voice cracked • Delaying the launch because it's “not ready yet” • Tweaking the offer again instead of selling itAnd if you're not careful?It becomes the bane of your existence.You stall. You hesitate. You self-edit your power.But here's the reframe:That same instinct to refine, improve, optimize, and tighten?That's also what creates elite execution.That's what builds clean systems.That's what sharpens messaging.That's what scales companies fast and far.In this episode, I'm breaking down: • When overcorrection is fear… and when it's mastery • How perfectionism sabotages visibility • How to use refinement as a precision tool instead of a procrastination tactic • The mindset shift that turns “never enough” into “continuously optimized”If you're a woman building something big and you feel caught between high standards and self-sabotage this conversation will change the way you see yourself.Your perfectionism isn't the problem. how you weild it is.

This episode of Regarding… Music From The Elder takes on Odyssey, the Paul Stanley–sung epic where KISS decides that the best way to build mythology is to state it very solemnly and hope the listener fills in the blanks.Chaz Charles, Greg “Wolfie” Wolf, Scott D. Monroe, and Corey Morissette break down a song that has lyrics, has a singer, and has enormous confidence — yet still leaves everyone asking the same question:Who is Paul Stanley supposed to be right now?Is he the voice of the Elders?A historian?A prophet?A tour guide pointing vaguely at a fantasy world just off-camera?That confusion comes into sharp focus around one of the song's most baffling images: the child in a sundress. The panel spends time trying to figure out who this child is supposed to be, why we're meant to care, and how such a specific image can feel emotionally loaded while remaining completely untethered to any character, story, or stakes. Is it innocence? A symbol? A memory? Or just another gesture toward meaning without the work of defining it?The episode digs deep into the song's core tension: Odyssey wants to function as narration without committing to a narrator. Paul sings declarative, myth-heavy lines with total conviction, but the lyrics never establish perspective, stakes, or character — creating a song that sounds profound while remaining stubbornly abstract.The panel unpacks:How Paul's performance sells seriousness even when the lyrics wobbleWhy repetition is doing most of the storytelling heavy liftingHow the song insists that a grand journey is underway without showing us any of itAnd why this kind of myth-making teeters dangerously close to self-parodyComparisons are made to 2112, classic fantasy tropes, and Monty Python's mock-epic moments, where absolute sincerity collides with material that can't quite support it. The group debates whether “Odyssey” is misunderstood ambition, overreach, or simply a band confusing importance with clarity.The episode closes — after post-production reordering — with a table read from Scott D. Monroe's original screenplay, now placed at the end of the show, finally giving “Odyssey” the narrative framework it always seemed to demand… and quietly highlighting how much the song itself leaves unsaid.This isn't about vocals.It's about authority without definition.The Regarding…Series — we listen so you don't have to.The ShowThree guys who are various stages of Def Leppard fans, and a guy who's just heard the hits (maybe...some of them.)

In the Pit with Cody Schneider | Marketing | Growth | Startups
Your “source of truth” for customer acquisition isn't GA4. It's what people tell you when they sign up — and right now, that story is changing fast.In this episode, we unpack a simple but brutally effective tactic: adding a required “How did you hear about us?” field to your signup form — and using that data to understand where real discovery is happening. The surprise? More and more B2B customers are saying social media, even when analytics tools claim otherwise.But here's the deeper shift: organic social is hard to measure… unless you track the right trailing indicator. That indicator is branded search.You'll learn how to use Google Search Console to track brand-name impressions over time, why it's becoming the only KPI that matters for modern founder-led marketing, and how branded search creates a defensible moat competitors can't easily steal.If you're planning your marketing strategy for 2026, this is the measurement system you need.What You'll LearnWhy signup form attribution is often more reliable than your analytics dashboardsThe biggest B2B acquisition shift happening right now: from search → socialWhy organic social is nearly impossible to ROI… and how to measure it anywayThe “branded search” metric that acts as a trailing indicator for social discoveryWhy branded search is a marketing moat your competitors can't take from youHow to build a branded-search chart using Google Search Console in minutesThe exact prompt to pull branded impressions by query and track them over timeTimestamps00:00:00 - Customer Discovery Starts at Signup00:00:10 - The Shift: Search → Social00:00:31 - Why Organic Social Now Matters Most00:00:52 - The Measurement Problem (and the Fix)00:01:12 - Branded Search = Your Trailing Indicator00:01:33 - Why Branded Search Is a Moat00:01:54 - Where to Invest Time, Money, and Energy00:02:04 - The 2026 Strategy: Grow Brand Searches00:02:15 - How to Track Branded Search in GSC00:02:25 - Building the Branded Impressions Chart00:02:46 - Live Demo: Google Search Console Setup00:03:07 - Final ThoughtsKey Topics & Insights1. Signup Attribution Beats Analytics (Almost Every Time)One of the fastest ways to understand how customers actually found you is simple: add a required “How did you hear about us?” field in your signup form.Why it works:It captures customer intent in their wordsIt reveals channels analytics often misattributesIt shows the real discovery story (not the last-click story)And the punchline: it often contradicts what GA4 says.2. The B2B Discovery Shift: Search → SocialIf you've been paying attention to the data, something big is happening:People aren't discovering new software products through search anymore. They're discovering them on social — then Googling them afterward.This shift has accelerated over the past 12–18 months. Even in B2B, where trends typically lag behind DTC.What this means:SEO is no longer the first touchpointSocial is becoming the top-of-funnel discovery engineSearch is evolving into a validation channel3. Organic Social Has a Measurement ProblemThe hardest part about investing in organic social is that it's difficult to tie to ROI.Whether you're doing:Founder-led contentCreator sponsorshipsCommunity distributionOrganic growth loops…it doesn't fit neatly into traditional attribution.So instead of forcing bad ROI models, track the trailing indicator that proves social discovery is working.4. Branded Search Is the Trailing Indicator That MattersHere's the key idea:When someone discovers your product on social, they don't click your link. They Google your name.That branded search becomes the measurable proof:A discovery event happenedPeople care enough to look you upYour brand is entering the market's memoryThis is why branded search growth is one of the strongest indicators of momentum.If branded search is increasing month-over-month, your brand is winning.5. Branded Search Creates a Defensible MoatThis is where it becomes more than measurement — it becomes strategy.Branded search is difficult for competitors to steal. Once people are searching your name, you own that demand.The only way competitors can interfere:They bid on your brand in Google AdsThey try to outspend youOr they attempt to confuse the marketBut that's expensive, obvious, and usually temporary.So branded search is not only a KPI — it's defensibility.6. How to Track Branded Search in Google Search ConsoleThis is the tactical part.To track branded search over time, you want a chart that shows:Impressions over timeFor queries containing your brand nameCaptured in every format your audience might type itAnd this is surprisingly easy to pull from Google Search Console.7. The Exact Chart & Prompt to Build ItThe goal is to extract Search Console impressions where queries include your brand name.Example prompt:“Build a chart showing total impressions over time for queries containing ‘YOURBRAND'.”Then your job becomes simple:Increase branded impressions month-over-month through:social contentdistributioncreator partnershipspodcast mentionsrepeated brand exposureconsistent visibilityThis becomes the clearest signal that marketing is compounding.Action Steps (Do This Today)Add a required “How did you hear about us?” field on signupReview responses weekly (and compare against analytics)Use Google Search Console to track branded query impressionsCreate a monthly KPI: branded impressions growthUse branded search growth as the scoreboard for your organic social effortsSponsorToday's episode is brought to you by Graphed – an AI data analyst & BI platform.With Graphed you can:Connect data like GA4, Facebook Ads, HubSpot, Google Ads, Search Console, AmplitudeBuild interactive dashboards just by chatting (no Looker Studio/Tableau learning curve)Use it as your ETL + data warehouse + BI layer in one placeAsk:“Build me a stacked bar chart of new users vs. all users over time from GA4”…and Graphed just builds it for you.
335 – Will you or anyone you know be alone for Christmas this year?An estimated 14 million Americans will spend Christmas alone in 2025. That's a lot of people! I don't have numbers for other countries, but this really opened my eyes to a problem that's a lot bigger than I realized.There's a wide variety of reasons why people are alone at Christmas, and a small percentage of them actually prefer to be by themselves. But the vast majority of these 14 million people would rather be with family or friends, but aren't able to for one reason or another.What are your plans for Christmas? Will you be with friends and family? Or will you be all by yourself?

Send us a textI took a long and winding journey up the Northeast roads on October 26, 2025, stopping at cafes, driving through small Americana towns, and for a small hike. We had a great chat with 74 year-old Paul and his dog about the trail, marriage, regrets, and how he would do life differently if possible. We greeted several others in this vast wooded area—walking in search of something or escaping something, who knows. We then came across this beautiful scene to serve as the backdrop for my thoughts on the occasion. Each orbit around our luminary anchor should come with reflection about who we've been, who we are now, and who we want to be later.
