Ehret was sold after the season to the Louisville Colonels for $500, and stayed there for three years. In the 1890 proto-World Series against the Brooklyn Bridegrooms, Ehret pitched two complete games, winning both, and he closed out Louisville's other win in the series, which went down as a 3-3-1 tie. Ehret also was 3-for-7 with a triple in the series, but the real hitting stars were Germany Smith with two triples and seven runs batted in for Brooklyn, and Chicken Wolf, who knocked in eight of Louisville's 32 runs in the series, while going 9-for-25 with four extra-base hits and four more runs scored.Chicken Wolf's given name was William Van Winkle Wolf, and he led the American Association that year with 197 hits, 260 total bases, and a .363 average. He was Louisville's all-time leader in games played, with 1,193, and collected 1,437 hits to lead the franchise, as well as 109 triples and 591 RBI.Ehret didn't stick around that long. In 1892, he joined the National League's Pittsburgh Pirates, and in 1893 led the league with four shutouts — and 23 hit batsmen. He was traded to St. Louis after the 1894 season, and on to Cincinnati a year later. Finally, Ehret was dealt back to Louisville before the 1898 season, but the real prize for the Colonels in that deal was Billy Hoy, the deaf player who in his age 36 and 37 seasons racked up 29 triples and scored 221 runs. Hoy was previously a tangent at the end of the Jeff McNeil home run chain, so that's fun. More fun than the Mets are having. This is a public episode.

When he saw influence marketing becoming its own thing, he launched a second firm called Carusele which helps brands and other agencies drive performance-based influence marketing programs. Jim and Erin Ledbetter lead the team and Carusele. Both joined me to talk about the evolution of both firms and how each company interacts with each other. But then we get into their approach to performance-based influence marketing. Carusele guarantees outcomes. It does so with a mix of organic and paid executions, but also with interesting innovations in analytics for influencers. Carusele has developed a True View metric to report the actual views of an influencers content, rather than reporting reach numbers based on the amount of followers someone has. Tobin is one of the industry experts I interviewed for Winfluence - Reframing Influencer Marketing to Ignite Your Brand and the book includes a few Carusele case studies. He, Ledbetter and I dig deeper in this episode into how that particular agency ticks and what innovations they're bringing to the space. We also talk about whether brand paid spend on influencer content can damage the influencer's organic reach. So lots to cover here. If you like the episode, please share it with your network.

On a special episode of Housing Developments, NAHB CEO Jerry Howard and Jim Tobin are joined by the co-chairs of the influential Problem Solvers Caucus, Rep. Tom Reed (R-NY) and Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ), to discuss potential COVID relief and the need for bipartisanship efforts in Congress.

July 24, 2020 - Yield Pro presents its all-star segment, NAHB POWER HITTERS. This episode features host Michael Thomas and NAHB chief lobbyist Jim Tobin. Housing is one of the most regulated industries in the country, at the federal, state and local level. According to NAHB research, regulations drive a third of the cost of every multifamily rental unit that comes online. This impacts affordability—now at an all-time low—and the ability of developers to get deals to pencil. What is being done to cure this imbalance?

If we have a good relationship and we drive real business results for our clients, the rest takes care of itself.WHAT PERCENT OF YOUR ADVERTISING SERVICE OFFERINGS DOES MEDIA BUYING MAKE UP?0%WHAT MAKES YOUR COMPANY UNIQUE?Our area of specialization. As social has matured over the last 13 years, it’s also gotten more and more difficult to do it really, really well. Since we actually implement everything from strategy, community management, content development, media buying, analytics and influencer marketing, we have real expertise.WHO IN THE INDUSTRY INSPIRES YOU AND WHY?At the risk of sounding trite, it’s my team. I’ve been doing this for 13 years and I’ve never met a social media expert. But if you could snap my team together like a giant Transformer, we certainly would be. Their depth of knowledge in their areas of expertise is always impressive.WHAT IS A TIP FOR SUCCESS THAT YOU WOULD PROVIDE SOMEONE IN YOUR SAME INDUSTRY?Don’t create a company centered around the next big “buzz” for your clients. It’s unsustainable and ultimately provides little to no measurable long term value. Focus instead on solving real business challenges.

On the year-end episode of Housing Developments, hosts Jerry Howard and Jim Tobin look back at 2019, including NAHB's key policy wins from the year, and where we’re headed in 2020. NAHB had several advocacy victories wins this year, and helped to move the needle on key issues that affect the building industry. Throughout 2019, the association focused on the housing affordability crisis, devoting resources to bringing the American dream of homeownership back within reach.

Jim Tobin took some time out from his holiday in Ireland to reminisce about his experience as a promoter and musician based in Cork before moving to his new country of residence Malta. He had to build up his promotions company and web design business from scratch under the blistering heat whilst still avoiding burns on that pale Irish skin. In between that there's plenty of stories from the Cruiscin Lan, local bands, international bands, festivals and the Irish Metal Archive. Another huge plus is the fact now that Jim wants to bridge the gap between Irish bands and Maltese bands by bringing acts over to Malta and vice a versa. So there's plenty to listen to and Jim was a fascinating guest to have on the show. Enjoy.

Mossy's contribution to the Cork and Irish Metal Scene in one year has been nothing short of immense. Born and raised in Cork, his enthusiasm, vision and passion for metal is backed up by a professional approach which is second to none. The fact that he is 'sound' adds to the many ingredients needed to run successful metal shows in Cork. On this episode Mossy talks about the Irish and Cork metal scenes, the influence of stoner metal on him, the gigs he went to since he was a kid and his collection of art that has rival collector Lars Ulrich looking over his shoulder. He also talks about upcoming Paranoid Beast Promotions that feature Dead Witches, Wolf Council, Elder Druid and Soothsayer on the 19th of April in the Spailpin and The Magnapinna, Damage Grows and Red Sun Alert on the 27th of April in Freds. The 2019 Monolith Festival on Aug 3rd in Cypress Avenue. Shout outs to Room 101, Peter at DME, Magnapinna and Howard, Jim Tobin, Con Doyle, Pat Clancy, Judgment, Kemikill, Dead Label and Grey Stag.

In our latest Marketing Companion Podcast, Tom Webster and I examine three ripped-from-the-headlines topics critical to digital marketing: A decline in Facebook reach? -- New research from several sources indicates that Facebook algorithmic tweaks could be dramatically depressing the visibility of brand posts to their audiences. We dissect this data and discuss whether this is real or something that could actually get much worse. Are we safe? -- Our last podcast covered 2014 marketing trends and I predicted that the "malignant complexity" of Internet systems would provoke more attacks to a vulnerable system. We look at the recent Target breach -- 40 million credit card profiles were stolen -- and an analyst remark that indicates something even more sinister could be going on here. Influence marketing trends -- An influence marketing company released some eye-popping data about the number of marketers who are actively paying influencers to promote their brands. The trajectory of this trend is remarkable and strikes at the heart of some moral issues of content creators. I think this will be a profound topic for 2014 and beyond and I think you will enjoy this lively debate! Are you ready for this? Of course you are!
