Long before he was an actor, he was a boy fascinated by books on dinosaurs and Sunday nights watching The World About Us with his Dad.

Send us a textJoin Cheryl Lee - That Radio Chick on STILL ROCKIN' IT for news, reviews, music and interviews with some of our favourite Australian musiciansWhat happens when four road‑tested artists put ego aside, pick up acoustics, and chase the pure heart of a song? We sat down with Monstr—a supergroup featuring members from The Superjesus, The Screaming Jets, TaxiRide and Dragon—to unpack how they're reviving the spirit of MTV Unplugged while keeping it fiercely alive for today's crowds. From their first studio step with Tears in Heaven to bold turns on Mariah Carey and Rod Stewart, the band shows why a strong melody and a truthful lyric can survive any arrangement.We dig into the art of curation: balancing Seattle-era grit with pop brilliance, threading Bryan Adams' emotional punch through Live's cathartic anthems, and slipping mandolin and 12‑string textures into places you don't expect. Each choice serves the room, not the playlist. That means rotating setlists, key changes that respect the singer, and arrangements that let the chorus breathe. Along the way, we swap stories about the moments these songs scored in our lives—because music is a time machine—and how that memory shapes performance. When Jimi lights up recalling Bryan Adams, or Pete leans into Emotions with a grin, you can feel the crowd lean closer.Another spark here is community. Monstr brings together fanbases that rarely overlap, and that chemistry is electric. Screaming Jets shirts stand next to TaxiRide diehards, and by the end of the night, new favorites have been made on all sides. We talk Adelaide Fringe excitement, the thrill of sold‑out rooms, and why recording select cuts from the live list is the next smart move—capturing the unguarded takes that turned skeptics into believers. If you love acoustic performances, 90s rock, classic pop, Aussie music, or just want to hear great songs stripped to the bone and rebuilt with care, this one is for you.Listen now, share it with a friend who lived through the MTV Unplugged era, and leave a quick review to help more music lovers find the show. Got a must-hear acoustic classic we should cover? Tell us—your pick might make the next set.What have Stu Rudd, Jimi Hocking, Jason Singh and Peter Drummond been up to lately?  Let's find out!Get out when you can, support local music and I'll see you down the front!!Visit: ThatRadioChick.com.au

The Tattersalls December Sales shape the global Thoroughbred market - and this year's renewal is one of the most important in recent memory.In this Final Furlong Tattersalls Special, Emmet Kennedy is joined by Tattersalls Associate Director of Marketing, Jason Singh, for a deep, honest, data-driven look at the market: the polarisation, the firepower, the hidden gems and the broodmares who change everything. We begin with the state of the yearling market:• why 2025 was selective but strong,• how the top end stayed fierce,• and why the middle market was deeper than many expected.Jason explains how this will feed directly into this week's breeding stock sales, and why Kentucky's intensity has already shifted buyer behaviour in Newmarket. Then we turn to the Sceptre Sessions, highlighted by:• Porta Fortuna – Cartier Champion 3YO Filly and global blue-chip broodmare prospect,• Tamfana, Barnavara, Choisya, Survie, Tiffany – an elite group rarely assembled in a single catalogue.Jason details what it takes to build a collection of this depth, and how buyers now balance residual value with the upside of producing world-class runners. From there, we dive into value mares — the bargains that became stars:• Sunset Park (60,000 gns → G2 winner),• Sultanina, Sagely, Syndicate, Tidespring, Days of Summer, Zero Gravity, Icky Woo,and how the December Sale continues to produce broodmares capable of producing Royal Ascot winners, Group 1 stars, and international champions. We also tackle the high-end market:• Immortal Verse,• Quiet Reflection,• and the seven-figure mares who shape investor confidence and global trends. Jason breaks down:• what makes a mare a hidden gem,• how data, biomechanics and conformation analytics are shifting valuations,• why smaller breeders should never fear the big stage,• and which categories are currently underrated and ripe for upside. From million-guinea superstars to 9,000gns producers of Group winners — this episode reveals why Tattersalls remains the most influential marketplace in the Thoroughbred world. If you want to understand where the industry is now and where it's going, this conversation is essential listening.

La beauté sauvera-t-elle le monde ? Réponse moyen-orientale en trompette, piano, guitare, violoncelle et percussions. (Rediffusion) Notre 1ère invitée est la trompettiste anglo-bahreïnienne Yazz Ahmed. Le quatrième album studio de Yazz Ahmed, A Paradise in The Hold, s'inspire de la musique folklorique de Bahreïn, l'île des deux mers, dans laquelle les chants de travail des plongeurs de perles et leurs chants de nostalgie et de solitude contrastent avec la musique de célébration des groupes de tambours féminins traditionnels qui se produisent lors des mariages et des festivals. La suite originale de 90 minutes, Alhaan Al Siduri, qui constitue la base de cet album, a été composée en 2015. Le processus de création a commencé par un voyage de recherche à Bahreïn en 2014, au cours duquel j'ai assisté à un concert privé donné par les Pearl Divers de Muharraq, ma ville natale, et j'ai parcouru les librairies locales à la recherche de paroles de chansons de mariage et de poèmes. J'ai également eu le rare plaisir d'entendre mon grand-père me chanter des chansons de son propre mariage. À partir de ces deux éléments d'inspiration, les mots que j'ai trouvés et la musique que j'ai entendue, traitée avec mon nouvel intérêt pour la conception sonore, les compositions individuelles et la forme de la suite ont commencé à émerger.  «La musique a évolué au cours de la dernière décennie grâce à des représentations en direct avec des ensembles de différentes tailles, des solos aux concerts avec orchestre symphonique. Pour cet enregistrement, j'ai adapté le matériel pour mettre en scène cinq chanteurs invités. Brigitte Beraha, Natacha Atlas, Randolph Matthews, Alba Nacinovich et Jason Singh se sont joints aux musiciens de mon groupe Hafla, élargissant ainsi la palette tonale de l'ensemble. Les paroles qu'ils chantent comprennent des fragments de chansons traditionnelles bahreïnies et des pensées issues de mes propres rêveries, des réflexions sur la lointaine maison de mon enfance.» Yazz Ahmed. Titres joués : Though My Eyes Go To Sleep, Al Naddaha, Dancing Barefoot et Into the Night. ►  Album A Paradise In The Hold (Night Time Stories 2025). Site - Bandcamp - YouTube.   Puis nous recevons le trio l'Antidote pour la sortie de L'Antidote. La beauté sauvera-t-elle le monde ? C'est le pari de Bijan Chemirani, Redi Hasa et Rami Khalifé, trois virtuoses réunis pour donner corps à L'Antidote, un répertoire instrumental qui oppose le pouvoir de guérison de la musique aux poisons des temps présents. Maître du zarb iranien et des percussions persanes qu'il aime plonger dans le jazz comme dans le grand bain méditerranéen, Bijan Chemirani croise ici sa science du rythme avec le violoncelliste albanais Redi Hasa — connu pour avoir œuvré au renouveau des musiques traditionnelles du sud de l'Italie, mais aussi aux côtés de Maria Mazzotta, Ludovico Einaudi ou encore Robert Plant — et le Libanais Rami Khalifé qui se joue avec maîtrise des frontières entre classique et électro sur les touches de son piano.  Si leurs chemins s'étaient déjà croisés, la rencontre a véritablement lieu à l'orée de la pandémie, dans un studio des Pouilles, près de Lecce, alors que le temps semble sur le point de s'arrêter. Au cœur d'une mer de vignes, dans ce lieu magnifique baigné de lumière, les trois virtuoses se retrouvent à nouveau à l'automne 2024 pour enregistrer L'Antidote. «La musique est un antidote à la réalité qui, parfois, est entachée de déceptions et de rêves brisés», explique Rami Khalifé. «La musique a un effet thérapeutique sur l'esprit et sur le corps : elle nous apaise, elle nous donne de l'espoir, elle nous guérit et nous aide à voir les choses sous un nouvel angle. La musique transcende tout.» Titres interprétés au grand studio - Pomegranate Live RFI  - L'Ombre qui passe, extrait de l'album - Dates, figues & Nuts Live RFI.

La beauté sauvera-t-elle le monde ? Réponse moyen-orientale en trompette, piano, guitare, violoncelle et percussions. (Rediffusion) Notre 1ère invitée est la trompettiste anglo-bahreïnienne Yazz Ahmed. Le quatrième album studio de Yazz Ahmed, A Paradise in The Hold, s'inspire de la musique folklorique de Bahreïn, l'île des deux mers, dans laquelle les chants de travail des plongeurs de perles et leurs chants de nostalgie et de solitude contrastent avec la musique de célébration des groupes de tambours féminins traditionnels qui se produisent lors des mariages et des festivals. La suite originale de 90 minutes, Alhaan Al Siduri, qui constitue la base de cet album, a été composée en 2015. Le processus de création a commencé par un voyage de recherche à Bahreïn en 2014, au cours duquel j'ai assisté à un concert privé donné par les Pearl Divers de Muharraq, ma ville natale, et j'ai parcouru les librairies locales à la recherche de paroles de chansons de mariage et de poèmes. J'ai également eu le rare plaisir d'entendre mon grand-père me chanter des chansons de son propre mariage. À partir de ces deux éléments d'inspiration, les mots que j'ai trouvés et la musique que j'ai entendue, traitée avec mon nouvel intérêt pour la conception sonore, les compositions individuelles et la forme de la suite ont commencé à émerger.  «La musique a évolué au cours de la dernière décennie grâce à des représentations en direct avec des ensembles de différentes tailles, des solos aux concerts avec orchestre symphonique. Pour cet enregistrement, j'ai adapté le matériel pour mettre en scène cinq chanteurs invités. Brigitte Beraha, Natacha Atlas, Randolph Matthews, Alba Nacinovich et Jason Singh se sont joints aux musiciens de mon groupe Hafla, élargissant ainsi la palette tonale de l'ensemble. Les paroles qu'ils chantent comprennent des fragments de chansons traditionnelles bahreïnies et des pensées issues de mes propres rêveries, des réflexions sur la lointaine maison de mon enfance.» Yazz Ahmed. Titres joués : Though My Eyes Go To Sleep, Al Naddaha, Dancing Barefoot et Into the Night. ►  Album A Paradise In The Hold (Night Time Stories 2025). Site - Bandcamp - YouTube.   Puis nous recevons le trio l'Antidote pour la sortie de L'Antidote. La beauté sauvera-t-elle le monde ? C'est le pari de Bijan Chemirani, Redi Hasa et Rami Khalifé, trois virtuoses réunis pour donner corps à L'Antidote, un répertoire instrumental qui oppose le pouvoir de guérison de la musique aux poisons des temps présents. Maître du zarb iranien et des percussions persanes qu'il aime plonger dans le jazz comme dans le grand bain méditerranéen, Bijan Chemirani croise ici sa science du rythme avec le violoncelliste albanais Redi Hasa — connu pour avoir œuvré au renouveau des musiques traditionnelles du sud de l'Italie, mais aussi aux côtés de Maria Mazzotta, Ludovico Einaudi ou encore Robert Plant — et le Libanais Rami Khalifé qui se joue avec maîtrise des frontières entre classique et électro sur les touches de son piano.  Si leurs chemins s'étaient déjà croisés, la rencontre a véritablement lieu à l'orée de la pandémie, dans un studio des Pouilles, près de Lecce, alors que le temps semble sur le point de s'arrêter. Au cœur d'une mer de vignes, dans ce lieu magnifique baigné de lumière, les trois virtuoses se retrouvent à nouveau à l'automne 2024 pour enregistrer L'Antidote. «La musique est un antidote à la réalité qui, parfois, est entachée de déceptions et de rêves brisés», explique Rami Khalifé. «La musique a un effet thérapeutique sur l'esprit et sur le corps : elle nous apaise, elle nous donne de l'espoir, elle nous guérit et nous aide à voir les choses sous un nouvel angle.

Tom in for Nick and joined initially by trainer Kevin Ryan who has opted to send Inisherin to the Prix Maurice de Gheest this weekend over a possible tilt over seven furlongs at York. Kevin tells us why a trip to France is on the cards and David Yates, today's pundit, gives his thoughts. Dave also reflects on Goodwood last week from both a racing perspective and on the news that attendances were up on last year, continuing a theme in the UK.

Ian McMillan is joined by actor and writer Harriet Walter, sound artist Jason Singh, poet Gillian Allnutt - and hears ritual language for glaciers - from writers Andri Snaer Magnason and Manjushree Thapa.Dame Harriet Walter is one of our best loved actresses. She's absorbed the rhythms of Shakespeare's writing over decades of her award-winning work on the stage. For 'The Verb' Harriet performs new poems she's written for her book 'She Speaks', an anthology which gives the women characters from Shakespeare's plays a chance to explore their experiences and their relationships with each other.Jason Singh is a sound artist, and nature beatboxer. He shares an evocative soundscape recorded at a Shinto Ceremony in Japan for a scientist who's been called 'The Mother of the Sea'. Leigh-born biologist Kathleen Mary Drew Baker made important discoveries about a type of seaweed, discoveries that have had a huge impact on Japanese Nori production. You can hear Jason's whole piece on 6th July at Pennington Flash in Leigh ( Greater Manchester). https://www.visitmanchester.com/event/flashes-festival-of-nature-2025/99390101/Poet Gillian Allnutt was awarded the Queen's Gold Medal in 2016 - and her new collection 'Lode' has been celebrated for its 'indelible images' . Gillian reads a poem about meeting the Queen, in which the word 'plimsoll' plays a surprising part, and another poem in which she invents the word 'ditheridoo'.Icelandic writer Andri Snaer Magnason, and Canadian-Nepali writer Manjushree Thapa have both written inscriptions to mark the dying of a glacier called Yala in the Hindu Kush Himalaya. They join Ian to talk about finding the right words for the ceremony, and what impact they hope their language will have.

So I look after partner marketing for business messaging, specifically at Meta, which is our conversational platforms around Instagram, WhatsApp, and Facebook Messenger. Being in B2B, marketing, sales, and marketing my entire life. We started in Australia and then moved over to Singapore and then New York about five years ago. What we do is three main things. We focus on ensuring that our partners have all the information that they need to be able to run their programs that they want to around business messaging. The second thing that we do is ensure that they have the right tools and materials. They’re able to grow their business. So that’s partner enablement, whereas where a lot of the Highspot focuses is within. And then lastly, it’s partner demand generation. So making sure that partners have the right investment from us, whether it’s time, dollars, et cetera, to be able to add fuel to their demand generation five. So those are three different programs that we have and where we focus a lot of our attention. SS: I’m excited to have you here, Jason, as a fellow marketing leader, and as you mentioned in your introduction, you have extensive experience across multitudes of regions, including Australia and Asia, and you really have a global perspective on how to bring the channel partner ecosystem to life? How has this diverse background shaped your approach to channel enablement? JS: The role that I have now is my first full-time role where I focused purely on partners previously being in and out of partner marketing and partners as a key audience over the past 15 years. But I took on this partner marketing leadership role officially about 24 months ago. And one of the things that I found out in that, firstly in the first 90 days, I think I met our top 35, 40% of our partners because I didn’t want to assume what they needed to know and the information they need to have and the formats that they needed to have it in and read rates of emails and, and downloads of contents. And I didn’t wanna assume. And so I spoke to a lot of them and it was super, super interesting that there were hardly any patterns. If you spoke with APAC partners, you would think you’d be able to put them into a category if you spoke with India partners similarly versus Latam, Spanish speaking Latam versus Brazil, North America… There weren’t really any regional patterns or trends. It was only when you looked at all partners globally, were you able to look at how partners operate and start compartmentalizing them into different groups, which would then give you a cohort to then cater around in terms of enablement, content, information, demand generation, et cetera. So I think one of the things that, having a diverse background where I. Help me to figure out is don’t assume in the first place, don’t assume more partners are the same. When I, when I was based in APAC, you would think Southeast Asia would be compartmentalized North Asia, so Japan, Korea, China could be compartmentalized and there we have these sub regions within the APAC region where we say, oh, okay, they operate the same, but it’s actually quite different. And so I think that really helped me coming into this global role because I was able to remove that assumption that we have these groupings, these cohorts, that because they’re based in certain regions, because they’ve got certain demographic attributes which are similar, but they’ll work the same way. And so instead of relying on those assumptions, what we did was just net new partner discovery, speaking with partners, getting, building really strong relationships with a lot of our great partners, and then figuring out what those groups are outside of. Demographic regional assumptions. SS: I love that you went in there unassuming and just really kind of learned what the partner ecosystem needed in today’s fast pace evolving environment. What would you say you were hearing are maybe some of the top challenges in channel partner sales and how are you addressing some of these challenges? JS: There is so much opportunity for the channel that they often struggle with. Prioritizing opportunities. If you look at any one of our partners, they partner with us somewhat exclusive, but many partners, partner with a number of other technology providers, and then within each technology provider there are end number of products of go-to market motions of incentives of programs. That they could be a part of. And within each of these standard operating procedures, there are processes, there are portals, there are hubs to sign into, passwords, usernames to remember. And then you’ve got the teams within these organizations that they need to make sure that they’re building relationships with the incumbent partner teams, the the senior leadership marketing teams like myself, et cetera. So it’s no surprise that when you speak to a partner that they’re often doing this. Inner calculation in their head around how important is this? Is this opportunity right now? Is this new product that we’re launching, A new program that we have is our H two market development fund, which we’ll launch in June. How important is this to me right now in the near future and in the long term? And how do I figure out what level of resources to invest? And that could be turning up to a meeting, that could be turning up to a webinar, or that could be. Injecting a couple hundred thousand dollars. That is, I would say by far, the most top of mind thing right now with our channel partners is. What is the actual opportunity with this thing that we’re being positioned with right now, and what do we need to do around this? SS: Yeah, absolutely. Kind of building on that, what do you believe are the key building blocks then for being able to foster really strong and effective partnerships with those channel sales teams? JS: I mean, I think I touched on that first point a little bit, so I’ll expand. Not assuming firstly and not doing groupings or categorization by those assumptions is super important because all of our partners operate probably a little bit differently to how we expect them to operate. The second bit is, I’ll speak my partner marketers lens specifically is learning about how these partners operate. You’ve gotta know who these partners are. You have to build relationships with partner marketers, salespeople, alliance managers. Marketing operations people within the partners. I’m very fortunate to have built a pretty strong relationship with probably about 40 or 50 people within our top 40, 50 partners in different partner groupings for our strategic partners, our tech partners, our service partners, where I’m starting to build a little bit more relationships now with our agency partners as well. And so I’m starting to get a really strong idea about how these partners operate. When I say how they operate, I’m talking about what are their incentives, what are their KPIs? What are the needles that they’re trying to move? Number two is how they actually work internally. So what are the processes? What are the procedures? What are the operating models? What are the systems? What are the tools that they use internally to help them get their work done? And lastly, it’s what are their expectations and what are their needs from us? What do they actually need right now? And that could be something as simple as one of the biggest things that we did. I think last year we’ll start rolling out more decks in Google Docs because we found that a lot of our partners wanted Google Docs because that’s how they operate and wanted the option of Google Docs as well as PowerPoint. And that subtle shift made, I don’t know, 10 partners to be able to work with our content from. Four days, two instantly because from Highspot, they could download that and ship it straight away, or just share organically within Highspot as opposed to having to download it, manipulating it, and then distribute it. And so you’ve really gotta invest the time and the effort to intentionally want to learn about your partners. It’s not a tick in the box of, oh hey, I can show my leadership that I met with 10 partners in Q1. It’s you being able to represent the partner voice. Across all of the different touch points that you have within the organization, whether that’s building content, building plans, talking with leadership. I would say once you get them out of email into a WhatsApp group or a WhatsApp chat, that’s where the real sort of connection happens, and that’s when you can start, like what I do now is when we’ve got a new piece of content, a new program that we’re building, I will take a screenshot of that and I’ll send it to about 12 different people from a different partners on WhatsApp just to get their input and they’ll respond very quickly within a couple hours globally, and they’ll start tell me what they like, what they don’t like, how it’ll work, how it won’t work, and that sort of instant feedback loop that I get with the partners have been cultivated over six months of getting to know them. So I won’t provide like three things that you need to do. I’ll provide, I’ll make it super simple with. The P zero thing that you need to do is build a relationship with your partners, really intentional, meaningful relationships with your partners and get to know them. SS: I think that’s fantastic advice. Jason, to shift gears a little bit, you developed a framework — Learn, Adopt, and Grow to keep channel partners engaged, kind of beyond the onboarding portion of coming on with Meta. Can you tell us more about this framework and what each of the phases entails? JS: Definitely. Before I took over partner marketing, we had a really strong content development arm, but we, we lacked a little bit in the structuring of our content and from a partner point of view. Some of the feedback that we had from our partners when I took on the role and start a meeting with them was, got too many assets on there. There’s there’s too much stuff. We don’t know where to start. One of the assumptions that we made internally actually right at the start was, oh, we need to split this by product type partners, want to know individually by products. And that’s when we sort of paused a little bit. ’cause that didn’t make a whole bunch of sense to me and a few of the other folks in my team. And we went to our partners and plus it didn’t specifically tell us this, it was very clear that partners had different levels of maturity. And within their teams there were different levels of maturity. So partner A may have a sales team that’s super advanced, but their marketing team hasn’t yet really been enabled on business messaging on WhatsApp Messenger or Instagram Direct. And so what we decided to test was how do we group our programs, our content, our materials that aligns with partner maturity. So we split these in, into three different cohorts of partners. Number one, they’re the partners that just kicked off, just finished onboarding, like you said, and, and they’re looking to learn. They’re looking to learn about the products, the platforms, the incentive, our programs, how we go to market. It’s a learn phase. And so we built this category of, of learn, and we started mapping almost, I think two years ago or 18 months ago, we started mapping all of our 101 content and then the second one is adopt. We notice that a lot of partners have at that stage now where they want to, they wanna kickstart some stuff. They wanna launch some programs. They wanna launch a sales program around WhatsApp. They wanna launch a campaign. They want to do internal education. I. Show globally around education, around meta business messaging, and this is all around how do they get from zero to one. And so that was around adoption or expansion where partners have finished that learn phase and they’ve decided they’ve onboarded and they’ve internally prioritized business messaging. Sort of the tier one things of the, what they wanna do. And so in here is a lot of sales materials, marketing materials, program materials to help them to get from zero to one and launching stuff. And so we do things like sales toolkits. We do things like partner ready campaigns, which are campaigns that marketing teams within our partners can give to their. Campaign team and you’ve got landing page designs. You’ve got social media kits, we provide Figma files, co-branded assets, everything that you need. Basically 80% of the stuff that you need to launch a marketing campaign or a sales campaign. And then lastly, we’ve got Grow. Grow is made up of a series of programs that have fairly high investment but are built purely to 10 XROI or ROI. And this is where we partner. We wanna make the programs available. All of our partners, but there’s pretty strict qualification, uh, or eligibility criteria to be part of one of these programs. But essentially these are programs where a partner’s already pretty successful. They know how to sell business mission. They know how to pick the concept and the product they’ve got runs on the board. They’ve got considerable pipeline or revenue already, and they’re looking at options for meta to help them grow this to 10 x, 50 x to a hundred x what they’re already doing. And so that’s grow. That’s when you’ve already mastered. The learn. You know all about the product, the platforms, the programs available to you. You’ve already started driving product adoption or portfolio adoption using our tools, and now you’ve got that. You’ve got a good run rate, but you’re wondering. How you can actually really blow this up. So that’s, that’s our growth phase. And we’ve probably got about 15 to 20% of our partners, I would say, are in there. I would say the lion’s share 50, 60%, 50% probably in that middle bucket. And we’ve got another maybe 15% right now in Learn. But as we expand our partner ecosystem and we open up our ecosystem to different types of partners. Marketplace partners, commerce partners, agencies, et cetera. We will see them starting at learn. We’ll see a lot more people or that waiting shift a little bit more to learn. And then over the course of six months to a year, we’ll see them starting through that process. SS: I love that framework because it really helps kind of guide them through their evolution and their journey with meta. So that’s amazing. And you know, on a similar note, you actually spoke at Highspot user conference last year and you had shared that relevance and timeliness are key to driving adoption with channel sales teams. How do you ensure these elements are really embedded into all of your programs? JS: It’s a hard one. Um, relevance for me focuses on, it’s a three-legged stool. Relevance is all about making sure that the CONT is, I would say firstly it’s format and it’s probably a little bit reversed from how. The majority. Think about it. I think about format, because again, knowing our partners, and this comes with knowing the partners, there are a hundred things that a partner could be doing in any given day. If they’ve decided in half an hour to focus on something related to partner enablement, what I look after and they open up a document and it’s not in the format that they need. So they’re expecting a one pager because I’ve called something intro to x. They’re expecting a one pager, but it’s an 80 page SOP that’s in Microsoft Word that, that they’ve gotta open up on their mobile device and look through it. They’re gonna close that window and they’re not gonna spend the time necessarily finding the thing that they want. They’re gonna shift their mind into focusing on something completely different. So format for me in terms of relevance is key. Making sure that when we launch something, it is in the format that it needs to be in. We have a really strong understanding about the length, the detail within that document. We have a really strong understanding in the time of the day and the mental mode that a part of the audience is gonna be. When they open up this document, are they looking for something really quick that they can share with something? Are they gonna be expecting something really detailed, which they can absorb and then distill for other teams? Are they gonna be looking for something on the go, on the way to a client meeting? And so format number one is, is big for me. And relevance the other legs, uh, of that stool would be. I would say I would include timeliness within that. It’s making sure that we are producing things within the right timeframe requirements of that audience. And so what I mean by that is often what you’ll see with teams is they launch things in phases. You’ll wanna enable a partner on a new product, and you’ll have this phased out over a 12 month period. Quite often that’s done based on the requirements of the internal team and not what the partner’s requirements actually are, and so you’ll almost enable them 20% to do what you want them to do because you’ve got other things coming in phase two, phase three, what we like to do is we like to build our phase one. We used to also launch in phases. We build our phase one point of view. But then we share that with the partners and say, hey, is this the MVP that you need? Like we think it’s these four materials. Do you actually need something else? And they’ll give us feedback. We do this formally, but we also do this informally through like our WhatsApp groups, as I mentioned before. And they’ll come back and say, hey, that ROI calculator that you’re building for phase three, we’d love that in phase one, which we’ve got some pipeline right now that we can accelerate to closure if we were have to show them a stronger ROI through some sort of tool. And what you’re building is perfect for us and so we will recalibrate internally to try and build an asset that’s in phase two, phase three into phase one. Or they’ll say, hey, we don’t actually need this narrative right now. We’ve built this PowerPoint deck already. We’ve got what we need. You can push that out for some other partners that may not be at the stage right now. So again, like having a good understanding of the partner, but also just sharing with the partner, having partners at the core of what you’re actually building in your development cycle is part important and part of and timeliness. And lastly, would be how you launch. So we talk about relevance in terms of making sure got the right format of the materials, the right details within each of the specific assets. We talk about timeliness. I’d say lastly, it’s how you actually launch something. We’ve had to get pretty creative about how we launch certain programs and just projects and and campaigns internally. The main reason being, as I mentioned before, partnered with a hundred things that they could be doing, and so you have to ask yourself, how do you cut through the noise? With those 101 things that partners have to think about every given day, and it could be soft launching, it could be launching with a smaller group of partners, building a case study around partner success, and then using that to launch to the other 80% of partners. But thinking a little bit more creatively around how you launch something so they can build internally. And understanding about how this particular thing is important to me right now is relevant to me right now. Versus the other a hundred things that got going on. SS: I love that approach and clearly it must be working because you guys have recently increased the number of partner organizations that are engaging with Highspot by 21%. I’d love for you to walk us through that journey. What strategies played AQ role in driving these results? JS: Yeah, I mean it’s, it’s kind of, we mentioned before around a format, format launch and, and timeliness. When I joined the team in this specific role, having worked with partners before in various roles and be being a partner to a lot of organizations previously as well, I understood the importance of a content management system. You know, we have typically you have partner managers that. Manage your top under know 10, 15, 20% of partners, but then you’ve got this medium tail and this long tail that you need to activate and you do that through documentation. We had a pretty good Highspot experience previously, but again, there was, there was little organization done around it. And so the first thing I kind of did was, you know, take off my, my partner marketing hat and put my partner hat on access Highspot and go. Let me do the top five to 10 things that a partner would need to do, and I had that list after chatting with the partners in my first 60, 90 days, and I noticed that almost every single one of the top 10 things that a partner needs to do was a real struggle in Highspot and not because of the tool, but because of how we had structured our Highspot experience. It wasn’t aligned to how partners want to actually use it. And so we focused in 2023. In the early part of 24, we predominantly focused on three things. We focused on content, making sure we did a pretty comprehensive content audit. I think we had about something like six and a half thousand different assets on Highspot, and so we did a complete content audit. We removed the stuff that we didn’t need that needed to be archived. That was just, I think it was, was three groups. It was remove, archive, update and keep. Something like that. A key thing for me on the next phase was on the user, the more of a visual experience. Ours was good. It was a little bit more out of the box and I feel we working with some of our internal brand teams, we could prove that to be a little bit more similar to some of the other partner experiences that our partners have. On some of the other portals that we have, just a partner portal, a partner center, our partner hub. And so we work to bring in some of those brand elements from Meta and WhatsApp and our different platforms into Highspot. We’re able to do that with one of our partners. And then the last thing we did was test, though we updated our content. I’m a big stickler for content naming and having a really strong naming taxonomy and nomenclature around how you name your content. And if you ask my team or the team that we work with, I’m always pushing the team. If there’s something, if there’s an asset that’s, that I feel is not named correctly, people aren’t gonna click on that. So what’s the point of even building that asset if it’s not named correctly? People need to be really understand what they’re getting themselves into when they click on an asset. And so we did our content audit. We update a lot of our content. We renamed almost every single asset once we had archived. A lot of the assets rebuilt the design of our complete Highspot experience. We had different groupings, different categories, and then again, we had partnered as part of this journey. So we tested this with partners and we said, hey, if we had this, what do you think? A lot of these were just workshops with partners moving certain things around saying, hey, if we put this here, does that work? We put this here, does that work? And then we launched, we soft launched, I think to about 20% of our partners, we saw some good results and then we, we had launched for everyone else. I mean, we saw an initial spike straight away when we launched because we’ve completely redesigned high spot and it’s great experience and you’re gonna get a lot of people organically come in and say, hey, I wonder what this is about. So we saw a spike in the first two weeks, but after that, that’s when we started. We saw the drop after the spike, and then we saw the gradual. And importantly for us, we wanted partners that don’t visit us at all to start visiting our Highspot experience. We wanted more people within our partners visiting Highspot as well. And so eventually over the six months, we started seeing like a really steady, nice, gradual ramp up. And then some of our other metrics, the time spent on HighSpot, the number of things that they’re downloading, number of things that they’re opening, so views, a lot of these started improving. The challenge now is that now we’re getting really strong adoption on Highspot. We’re starting to see teams wanting to upload more and more content on it because we’re starting to see the value of a lot of the foundational work that we’ve done. And so whilst we don’t, obviously we don’t gate content, but we do wanna make sure that everything that’s uploaded. Is super intentional and is aligned with the risk of enablement program that we have. So it’s a good problem to have. SS: Absolutely. That is a great problem to have. And so, aside from some traffic, and you did talk about a couple other key metrics, but I’d love to understand, how do you think about the metrics that you need in order to continue to measure and optimize your channel enablement strategy. JS: If you’re kind of first principles that, and think about why do we have Highspot experience in the first place to enable our partner ecosystem. We have a partner ecosystem within business messaging which is evolving and growing. We’re expanding to, if you say we have about 12 different types of partners in their ecosystem, we’ve got really strong activation with. Probably a quarter of them. And we’re now focusing on evolving our partner ecosystem into the rest. And so our partner marketing goals are always aligned to our partner ecosystem goals and our channel goals in general. And then with end partner marketing, our enablement goals are aligned with what our channel strategy is. And so right now what we’re focusing on is ensuring that as we expand our private ecosystem to new and different type of partners. When they’re ready for enablement, we start taking them into that learn phase of the learner grow model. That experience is really positive for them, and it’s almost a page turner type experience where they’re really excited to move into the next phase, or really excited to be shown a different asset or for another asset to be uploaded and email to them and say, hey, you think you’re really like this? And so really key for me is ensuring that whatever, whatever I’m doing, whatever my team’s doing, is aligned completely to a partner ecosystem strategy. SS: I love that. And do you have some wins that you might be able to share? What are some of the initial business results that you’ve seen on Highspot specifically? JS: Look, I don’t have the numbers off the top of my head, but there were two things that we wanted to do. We wanted more partners, more net new partners on it, so partners that spend zero time on it and we can see from our dashboards that we build, I wanted to see more partners on it. ’cause that for me was, and they’ve been enabled on a Highspot before. They’ve got access, they’ve got a license, they know how to use it. They’re just not using it. And so for me, that was a real win to start seeing Partner X that hasn’t visited Highspot in three months to start seeing them, oh, hey, we’ve got one person from Partner X now in Highspot last month, and now I’ve got two people. The average time they spend on the platform was 60 seconds. Now it’s three minutes. Now it’s six minutes. But that was a great personal win for me because that’s almost, for me, that was proving them wrong. Initially, they had probably visited it and not enjoyed the experience, and in their mind it was something that I didn’t really need. And so for me to be able to turn that around with that team and rebuild the experience of them to say, oh, it’s actually pretty good now, that was a really great win for me because that’s turning a detractor into an advocate, which is just, just a, a great personal goal to have. And the second thing is starting to see people, I suppose we’re seeing people spend more time on it. We’ve got a hypothesis around why they spend more time on it is because we’ve got less content on there. Now, I don’t know exactly how many assets, but it’s not, it’s not close to 6,000 anymore, but there’s less assets on there. So the discoverability is far better. They can find the assets that they want. When they go into the search field and they search for something, they don’t come up with 40 different assets. It’s 12, which is manageable. And so they’re spending more time within those assets. So now we see new partners using it and existing partners using it more and better. The two things that we focus on, we’re seeing those move up into the right, which is great. We wanna start looking into different sorts of measures of success. This year we are looking into, you know, again, as I mentioned with the part ecosystem, how do we launch to a new partner type? Which is new, and so we haven’t done that yet. On Highspot, we had a bunch of partners already enabled on business messaging through a different portal. Then when we adopted Highspot, we moved them to there. But we’re gonna start looking at things like sharing. We’ve recently started using digital sales rooms, which is something that we didn’t do last year, and we’re testing about five to six different things with digital sales rooms. That’s a really powerful feature. We haven’t figured out exactly where, where the superpower is for us to use digital sales rooms. But once our pilots are finished, we’ll probably have a hypothesis there. But yeah, I think the metric for us this year is we know our partner numbers are gonna still go up and into the right. It’s gonna slow down a little bit our growth, but we know we’re in the right direction. So our other measure for success is how do we deepen our partner’s experience with Highspot? We know we’ve only scratched the surface of what Highspot can do for us. So we’re looking into what are the other things that we need to do, and also importantly, how do we connect the Highspot experience with some of our other tools that we have, and starting to integrate it more into the partner experience that we have versus a standalone CMS, which a little bit it is of now, but I know that’s something we’re working on with your team. SS: I love that. Jason, last question for you, and I don’t think we could. Get away from talking about AI these days. It’s everywhere. And at the conference you were at last fall, I know you were excited about some of the AI innovation that we, we showcased there, but I’d love to hear from you, how are you starting to envision AI playing a role in further enhancing your channel partner enablement strategy moving forward? JS: I mean, the buzzword of the year, right? It’s a little bit hard right now. We’ve just finished our foundational rebuild of Highspot, and we’re at a really comfortable stage with what we’ve delivered to our partners and the operations around it, including, you know, governance. Measurement content, strategy, et cetera, like when a really good spot there. I think there are some operating models around AI that make sense for our partners to want to lean in towards. When you talk about enablement, which we’re at different stages of exploring, I think the most powerful one would be how do we get the right content? It comes down to timeliness and relevance as we spoken at the start. How do we get the right content to the right partner at the right time? And so that’s more generative content enablement, if you will. And that’s tough because you need, you need sort of metadata to support that. But I think if you were to ask our partners what’s the main thing that they would want from AI and channel enablement or partner enablement, it would be, hey, be really useful instead of me looking for the, the asset for you to actually know that I need this asset right now or group of assets. I think that would be the main thing that they would want. And I get it. So we’ll get to that stage at some point. But right now we’re, we’re definitely focused on maintaining our strong grassroots and foundations right now, and then looking at more sort of piecemeal. Additions to that. So things like digital sales rooms, things like making it easier for them to be able to share content with their end clients on the go, which is one of the ask that they’ve sent from us. And so those are the few things that we’re focused on this year. SS: I love it. Jason, thank you again so much for joining our podcast today. I truly appreciate you sharing your insights and experience. JS: Of course. It’s been great. Thanks a lot, Shawnna. SS: To our audience, thank you for listening to this episode of the Win-Win podcast. Be sure to tune in next time for more insights on how you can maximize enablement success with Highspot.

Nick is joined by David Yates from the Daily Mirror to discuss the latest from around the racing and bloodstock world. They begin by discussing the victory of City of Troy in the Coral Eclipse, another performance which divided opinion sharply. Also on today's show, Ed Crisford has a positive bulletin on July Cup fancy Vandeek, while trainer Oliver Cole has news of an injury to stable star Royal Scotsman. Adrien Cugnasse wraps up the Prix Jean Prat and the significance of a 1-2 for trainer Jean Claude Rouget while Tattersalls' Jason Singh previews the July Sale and Tom Scudamore is a proud father as daughter Margot becomes the fifth generation of her family to ride a winner.

Fresh from his Royal Ascot success, trainer Ed Bethell chats with Emmet Kennedy about his remarkable triumph with REGIONAL, a horse he purchased for just 3,500 guineas at the Tattersalls July Sale in 2021. Despite starting with just three races, REGIONAL has since become a Group 1 winning sprint sensation. Ed shares what stood out to him and the My Future Champion racing syndicate about the gelding by Territories at the sale, and when he knew his stable star was destined for Group 1 success. Ed also discusses the focus on speed over middle-distance horses, its long-term implications for the sport, and the need for strong leadership to guide racing in the right direction. Plus, he gives us a two-year-old to follow! Then, Jason Singh, Tattersalls Marketing Manager, provides an overview of the Tattersalls July Sale, sharing some success stories from past sales, current trends in the horse sales industry, and how international buyers and sellers influence the dynamics of the sale.
