What's up everyone, today we have the pleasure of sitting down with Jeffrey Lee, Lifecycle Marketing Technical Lead at Calm. About JeffJeff started his career as an IT specialist at IBM He then joined Merchant Circle as a FE Web dev and eventually ended up managing a team of web developers He later joined Flipboard – a popular social magazine app – where he spent 5 years embedded into email development and marketing operations. He built and grew their email capability to sending over 400M emails per monthToday Jeff is Lifecycle Marketing Tech Lead at Calm where he architected their adoption of push notifications as a messaging channel; they now send over 300M push notifications and 2B emails per yearBuilding Engineering-Marketing Partnerships With a Technical and Emotional BlueprintProduct collaboration is the cornerstone of impactful marketing initiatives, yet many organizations struggle with this crucial partnership. Jeff's unconventional journey from engineering to marketing reveals a powerful framework for building authentic cross-team relationships that deliver both immediate results and long-term value.The Technical FoundationMost marketing teams fall into the trap of overwhelming engineering with urgent requests, only to face a wall of indifference. Jeff's engineering background helped him recognize that technical credibility forms the bedrock of successful collaboration. Rather than making desperate pleas for resources, he leveraged his technical expertise to create working prototypes that demonstrated clear business impact.His subscription management project exemplifies this approach. By bootstrapping a solution achieving 90% accuracy in promotional targeting, he transformed abstract marketing concepts into concrete engineering challenges. The remaining optimization represented pure customer experience enhancement and operational efficiency – metrics that resonated deeply with the engineering mindset.Building Emotional CapitalThe impact extends beyond technical competency into the realm of emotional intelligence and operational empathy. Engineers particularly value colleagues who demonstrate respect for their workflows and time constraints. Jeff's approach of presenting production-ready queries and implementation frameworks eliminated the typical friction of translating marketing requirements into technical specifications.This combination of technical fluency and operational understanding creates a powerful multiplier effect. When marketing teams blend technical capability with genuine empathy for engineering processes, they evolve from being perceived as an external burden to becoming a valued strategic partner. Each successful collaboration reinforces credibility and builds momentum for future innovations.Creating Sustainable PartnershipsThe formula for lasting engineering-marketing collaboration emerges from this dual focus on technical excellence and emotional intelligence:1. Start with working prototypes that prove business value before requesting engineering resources2. Present technically sound solutions in engineering-ready formats that respect existing workflows3. Build credibility through consistent delivery of measurable impact4. Demonstrate genuine understanding and respect for engineering priorities5. Leverage initial wins to create natural advocacy for future marketing technology initiativesThe result is a partnership model that transcends traditional departmental divisions, creating sustainable value for both teams. By approaching collaboration through both technical and emotional lenses, marketing teams can transform skepticism into enthusiasm for projects that deliver meaningful impact across the organization.This framework provides a blueprint for marketing teams looking to build authentic engineering partnerships that drive innovation and results. The key lies in demonstrating both technical competence and operational empathy – proving value through tangible outcomes while building emotional capital through genuine understanding and respect for engineering workflows.Key takeaway: Win engineering trust by showing, not telling. Build working prototypes that demonstrate clear value, then present solutions in engineers' technical language while respecting their workflows. This combination of proven results and operational empathy transforms marketing from a burden into a valued partner, creating momentum for future collaboration.Why it Took 3 Years to Convince the Product Team at Calm to Implement Push NotificationsWhether it's product, martech or channels, sometimes decisions masquerade as data-driven choices but are actually running on raw emotion and bias. At Calm, adding push notifications sparked a three-year battle that exposed how deeply personal experiences shape enterprise product strategy. Through their struggle to balance user psychology with organizational resistance, we uncover essential principles for building sustainable engagement in mobile products.The Psychology Behind Product ResistanceProduct teams operate on gut reactions and personal biases more often than anyone wants to admit. At Calm, Jeff discovered this reality when a straightforward push notification feature turned into a three-year battle, exposing how deeply personal experiences shape product decisions at the highest levels.The resistance stemmed from visceral reactions to notification overload. Product leaders, scarred by their own encounters with aggressive casino apps and notification spam, projected these experiences onto Calm's notification strategy. Their instinct to protect the product from becoming "one of those apps" created a powerful organizational inertia, even in the face of compelling engagement data.The turning point arrived through an unexpected avenue: leadership turnover. A new Chief Product Officer, armed with positive experiences from previous roles, transformed the three-year roadmap struggle into a six-week sprint. This shift illuminates the stark reality of enterprise decision-making; technical complexity often plays second fiddle to personal conviction and past experiences.Jeff's evolution from email skeptic to engagement advocate mirrors this journey. His own transformation from viewing email as "the scammiest thing" to recognizing its profound impact on user engagement adds a layer of irony to his push notification crusade. Small-scale pilots proved ineffective at winning support because they failed to demonstrate the compound effects that emerge over time. Like SEO, the true power of these engagement channels only becomes apparent through sustained, systematic implementation.Industry-Standard Functionalities is More Important Than Competitive DynamicsCompetitive pressure normally drives product decisions, except when you're number one in the market. Jeff experienced this paradox at Calm, where their market leadership position actually worked against the adoption of push notifications. The common rationale? "We're number one. We don't need to do what others are doing to catch up."This mentality exposes a fascinating blind spot in product strategy. While lagging competitors enthusiastically embrace proven engagement channels, market leaders sometimes cocoon themselves in a false sense of security. Their position at the top becomes a psychological barrier to adopting industry-standard features, creating vulnerability to more nimble competitors.The definitive proof of push notifications' value emerged through an accidental experiment. When discussing hypothetical scenarios about turning off push n...

In this episode, Dawn welcomes coach and storyteller James Jeff Lee, also known as Rev Up Dude. They dive deep into the concept of elevating consciousness, exploring how our life experiences, relationships, and emotional states shape our overall well-being. James shares insights from Dr. David Hawkins' scale of consciousness, emphasizing the importance of courage as a tipping point for personal growth. The conversation highlights the significance of self-awareness, the power of creation in our lives, and the necessity of healing past traumas to foster healthier relationships. With a focus on the seven love levels, James encourages listeners to approach relationships with clarity and honesty, treating them like job interviews to ensure compatibility and fulfillment. KEY TAKEAWAYS Elevating one's consciousness involves understanding and improving one's emotional and physiological states. It is a journey that can lead to higher levels of happiness and fulfillment, moving from basic survival needs to experiences of love, joy, and peace. Developing self-awareness is crucial for personal growth. It allows individuals to observe their reactions and align their actions with their higher values, fostering a growth mindset that encourages learning and improvement. Everyone is a creator of their reality, influenced by their energy, frequency, and vibration. By consciously choosing to raise their vibration, individuals can manifest better experiences in their lives. Before entering a new relationship, it is essential to heal from past wounds and understand one's needs and desires.  Being clear about what one wants in a relationship is vital. Just as in job interviews, individuals should approach dating with honesty and awareness, ensuring that both partners are aligned in their relationship goals and values. BEST MOMENTS 'You can ascend to higher levels where you start to experience things like willingness and acceptance and reason and then love and joy and peace and eventually even enlightenment.' 'We're all just energy vibrating at a certain frequency, giving the appearance of a solid. But our spirit is my belief, our spirit, the thing that makes us us, what's inside this container, is energy vibrating at a certain frequency.'  'Carol Dweck is a Stanford professor, and she coined the term growth mindset. And she says a growth mindset believes that your intelligence is not fixed.'

We spoke with Jeff Lee, cofounder and CEO of DIBS Beauty about his approach to building brand awareness, partnering with celebrities, and starting a company during the pandemic. “What makes us so unique, I think, is the way we speak with our customer at DIBS; we like to joke that it's reverse master class. People used to learn about makeup from celebrities, from celebrity makeup artists. . . . We're just about, take the stick, take the brush, take the powder, put it on—you won't mess it up. And if you learn something from your friend over there, even better.” Oh, and he also shared his tips on coaching the Miss Universe pageant. “The pageants themselves are actually highly meritocratic in the sense that they test your skills. And I like to say that we give opportunities to people who can hit a ball or punch each other out or jump around at a high-level precision—no matter your race, creed or your background, your economic background for pageants—we're giving people the opportunity to succeed. We're democratizing access to fame and opportunities.”

We spoke with Jeff Lee, cofounder and CEO of DIBS Beauty about his approach to building brand awareness, partnering with celebrities, and starting a company during the pandemic. “What makes us so unique, I think, is the way we speak with our customer at DIBS; we like to joke that it's reverse master class. People used to learn about makeup from celebrities, from celebrity makeup artists. . . . We're just about, take the stick, take the brush, take the powder, put it on—you won't mess it up. And if you learn something from your friend over there, even better.” Oh, and he also shared his tips on coaching the Miss Universe pageant. “The pageants themselves are actually highly meritocratic in the sense that they test your skills. And I like to say that we give opportunities to people who can hit a ball or punch each other out or jump around at a high-level precision—no matter your race, creed or your background, your economic background for pageants—we're giving people the opportunity to succeed.

 With host retail coach Wendy Batten https://wendybatten.com/podcast-intro/   You are in for a very special holiday treat on this episode of the Creative Shop Talk Podcast, my friends! Joining me on this episode are three of my Level Up Mastermind and Retailer's Inner Circle members: Amy Cseh, Amy Hart, and Jeff Lee, all brilliant and longstanding independent retail shop owners who have been in the trenches and experienced ups and downs just like many. (Links to follow along with all of them are below.)   The interview, which originally aired exclusively in the Retailer's Inner Circle Facebook group, is FULL of holiday sales tips from these three seasoned shop owners.   Here are just a few of the sales tips we dug into: Take advantage of any of the events that are organized by the community or town.  Ensure your staff is well trained and knows exactly what you are trying to accomplish. Set specific numbers goals for your staff so they can be engaged and track progress. Know your customer base and anticipate what they are looking for. Don't “panic buy” merchandise just because you have FOMO or think that's what you should be doing. If you are an Inner Circle member, implement the sales strategies in the Sales Accelerator masterclass. (And if you aren't a member, maybe it's time to join the Retailer's Inner Circle!) Don't miss the after Christmas rush!  Customers want to shop that week between Christmas and New Year's. Have a plan for projected sales/buying plan for Q1. Sales will slow down after the holidays are over and you don't want to be caught off guard. There is a new masterclass that just released into the Inner Circle this week all about Open to Buy Inventory Management that all members have access to. Pay attention to your return rate per square foot. If something isn't selling fast enough, you may need to make a decision to downsize the display or get rid of the line completely. Plan your events & weekly emails ahead of time so you aren't missing personal things during the holiday season. It doesn't feel good to let personal things slide for the “sake of the store.” Do everything you can in advance, including personal things. (By the time this podcast airs, Jeff's house will have been fully decorated for Christmas for 2+ weeks!) Amy C.'s advice: “Bless and release!” You've trained your staff and they are good at their jobs. Schedule your days off and enjoy your time outside of your shop. YOU are the only one who is going to notice what doesn't get done. Know what your “no's” are and stick to them. If something is causing you stress, give it to a team member or simply don't do it.   If you are interested in joining the Level Up Mastermind, we are opening 3 seats and would love to hear from you. Now that you've “met” three of the retailers who are part of the Level Up Mastermind, you may have a better feel for who we are.

20 year-old Kristie Gunderson Lee was a young wife, and new mom living in Pompano Beach, Florida in 1994. She was a friendly and popular hairdresser who was not known to have enemies, but on March 31st of that year, she died a violent death in her apartment. She was bludgeoned and strangled to death. Initially, it seemed like a burglary gone wrong, but police ruled that out and instead investigated the murder as a crime of passion. As in most cases involving a crime of passion, detectives looked closely at Kristie's husband Jeff Lee, but learned early on that he was at work when the murder happened and had an air tight alibi. Police quickly turned their suspicion to Kristie's in-laws, Kay and Joe Petralia, who had discovered Kristie's body and called 911. Their timeline of events didn't match up with witness statements in the case, and as police looked closer, they found that Kristie & Kay had been at odds with each other over the raising of  Kristie & Jeff's  son Zachary. They had heated arguments, and at least once, got into a physical altercation. Police asked the Petralias to take polygraphs, and they both refused. Eventually, the Petralias became the prime suspects in their daughter in law's murder, and even their son Jeff came to believe that they were responsible for Kristie's murder. But to date, no charges have ever been filed in relation to Kristie's murder.  Kristie's good friend Emily, who runs a Facebook page about Kristie's case, and has been advocating for her friend for 30 years, discusses Kristie's case in this episode.

They also talked about the potential rewards and risks involved in taking on such jobs. Clay and Joseph discussed their weekend activities and then talked about their favorite moments from a recent interview with Dan Antonelli, with Joseph highlighting the importance of listening to one's body and taking steps to maintain good health. They also discussed the topic of service calls versus long, big jobs. Clay and Joseph discussed whether service calls or bigger jobs are more profitable for residential service businesses.

They also shared a story about a smaller contractor who faced an emergency call for a submerged panel with mud in it, and the challenges he faced in restoring power to the affected trailers and campgrounds.Joseph and Clay discussed how contractors should approach situations where they may be outside of their comfort zone or resources to complete a job.

Sure, you like beer — but have you ever worn it? Wrapped your entire being in it and then spend three days at a convention devoted to it? That's what the country's most dedicated beer... The post Episode 46: Jeff Lee and the CBC appeared first on Grit & Grain Podcast.

 With host retail coach Wendy Batten   https://wendybatten.com/157/   I'm so excited to introduce you to Jeff Lee! We have been working together for quite some time and Jeff has such an incredible story that I think will be really helpful to you.   Jeff calls himself an accidental entrepreneur like so many of us do. He started painting furniture and quickly turned into a gift shop, purchasing wholesale products. His growth journey from booth space to 7000 sq feet and running a profitable retail business has not always been linear.    Jeff has seen the highs and the lows of business and gotten through it by putting on his CEO hat, digging in and doing the work. One thing Jeff will share with us is how he's made hard decisions about product lines, branding, etc…including truly listening to what his customers want.    Jeff will also share how he's turned his shop into a local destination shop. From merchandising, product lines, the smell of his store, the lighting, the layout, the conversations - Jeff has mastered the FEEL of his store to bring in more customers again and again.    I know that when you listen to Jeff's journey and understand his mindset - you will gain so many takeaways!    In retail, it's always: Start. Grow. Shift. Grow. Learn. Grow. Rinse. Repeat.

 Notes: Today I'm chatting with Christie Carter-Tokairin, a fabulous retailer seeing such great success throughout her 10 years in business at her beautiful shop, Revived Vintage. Christie has been an active and invested member of The Retailer's Inner Circle since it began. I'm so proud to have her share some of her wisdom and some of her success secrets as she navigates her 10th year as a small shop owner of a successful creative retail business.    We discuss throughout the episode some of the biggest issues facing so many independent shop owners: (1) building and nurturing community with customers and in your real community, (2) working full time with your husband, (3) navigating mental health and being true to what matters, (4) how to have boundaries around your business (Christie doesn't bring her laptop home at night), and so much more.     “I used to think that if I was working on my business every minute of every day, it would grow faster, better, stronger. And I did that when it first opened, and I found that that was actually not true at all.” - Christie Carter-Tokairin Pay particular attention to our conversation about taking care of ourselves, letting things go, and being open and honest about our mental health. She also shares my passion for being community minded in your town. Being a good active member of your own town has such an incredible ROI on your mind and pocketbook.    “There is no gold metal for hustling.” - Wendy Batten She exemplifies a shop owner doing it her way, making decisions based on life first, then around her beautiful business.

This week, Jeff and Harrison are joined by Jeff Lee from The Jeffrey Lee Agency of Farmers Insurance. We discuss some of the trends and highlights in the insurance industry, what Farmers offers, and how Mainers can save money on their insurance.

Growing up in communities of color, Jeff Lee and Courtney Shields were both early to understanding the importance of diversity and inclusion in beauty. When they met virtually through peers during the pandemic, they instantly connected over a shared desire to create a multicultural collection of beauty products catering to all. Their mutual passions for making all women feel seen and beautiful birthed DIBS Beauty, short for Desert Island Beauty Status, in September 2021.  The co-founders secured $2.6 million in an initial funding round from Tula's co-founders, as well as major stakeholders at finance company L Catterton, which also invested in Tula, and influencers. DIBS Beauty's less intimidating and more inclusive approach to beauty also made it one of the fastest-growing brands in 2022, according to research firm Spate. Thanks in part to the virality of the brand's hero product, Status Stick, average monthly searches for the brand grew to 2,470 in 2022. "The mission of DIBS Beauty is desert island beauty status. It's the makeup you would take with you to a desert island," Lee said on the latest episode of The Glossy Beauty Podcast.  In January, the company reported 700% year-over-year sales growth. With expansion top of mind for the co-founders, creating new, innovative products and expanding to new distribution channels are the biggest priorities this year. 

"Five Tips to Increase Profit (Without Making More Money)" was a class taught by Somer Phoebus.  These are great tips that can make a difference for you financially!  Cliff's In the News is SNEEZING.  Cliff's Inside the Music is OLD JOHNNY WOULD HAVE DONE IT.  Music - "Out of the Box" (music only) by Bev and Cliff Nelson, Doak Turner, Dee Briggs.  "Old Johnny Would Have Done It" (full song) by Bev and Cliff Nelson, Josh Rush, Dee Briggs, Jeff Lee.

With a background in corporate law as well as beauty pageants, Jeff Lee leveraged his unique history and interests to create award-winning desert island beauty products, ie DIBS. DIBS focuses on makeup essentials designed to deliver a flattering finish with no-nonsense application and good-for-you ingredients.In today's episode, Jeff explains how having a legal background allows him to think differently than other brand founders.Jeff also shares:How he approaches the brand with a great sense of missionOne major advantage of being a DTC brandHis team's approach with communicating with the DIBS community and ensuring customer inclusivity is felt throughout the brandTips on lessons he has learned while growing the brandYou'll also hear Jeff's plans for future expansion of DIBS.This episode is brought to you by WavebreakLeading direct-to-consumer brands hire Wavebreak to turn email marketing into a top revenue driver.Most eCommerce brands don't email right... and it costs them.

In Ep. 56 of Earned, we sit down with Jeff Lee, co-founder and CEO of DIBS (“Desert Island Beauty Status”), the beauty brand created in partnership with star influencer Courtney Shields. We start by unpacking Jeff's many noteworthy accomplishments, including earning his MBA at Stanford and his law degree at Yale, coaching several successful Miss Universe pageant contestants, visiting every Equinox gym across the world, and serving as COO for former MLB shortstop Alex Rodriguez's A-Rod Corp investment firm—all before launching DIBS Beauty. Jeff reveals how he manages and prioritizes his time to allow him to invest in his varied pursuits, before explaining why he decided to transition from attorney to brand operator. We dive into his time at A-Rod Corp, and hear how he got the job (despite not knowing who A-Rod was), as well as the team-building learnings he took away with him. Jeff then shares why he thinks following your passion is the “worst career advice,” and why you should instead pursue your “superpower.” Next, we discuss how DIBS Beauty came to be, and the key factors contributing to the brand's rapid growth, before closing the show by learning Jeff's guiding principles that help him navigate challenging times.
