In this episode of SaaS Fuel, Jeff Mains sits down with Marc Rust, founder of Consequently Creative, to challenge everything you think you know about branding. Marc reveals why the strongest brands aren't built on logos and taglines—they're built on relationships, courtship, and genuine human connection.You'll discover why "different is always better," how visual storytelling requires education and courtship, and why the interview process should focus on hunger, not resumes. Marc delivers a master class in putting people first, technology last, and building brands that create emotional resonance in an increasingly automated world.Key Takeaways[4:30] - Branding as the operating system for transformation and growth—not a nice-to-have, but the foundation for how companies evolve[5:55] - The AI capability trap: Technology is being sold based on what it can do, not what humans actually need it to do[7:17] - Why the Segway failed: Lack of tangible examples and use cases people could identify with (spoiler: only mall cops use them)[10:40] - The POST method framework: People → Objectives → Strategy → Technology (not technology first)[11:53] - Courtship in branding: Building relationships requires pacing—don't propose on the first date[14:07] - The John Hancock disaster: $60-per-click ads driving traffic to pages that didn't sell what customers wanted[19:30] - Don't make it about you: Focus on your audience's needs, not your own features and capabilities[25:45] - Hiring for hunger: Job interviews should reveal passion and drive, not rehash the resume[29:00] - The playground philosophy: Good playgrounds challenge kids and create healthy fear—easy things don't build character[31:00] - Education as courtship: Walking people through design choices (like using red) builds appreciation and buy-in[34:15] - Brand color recognition: How cell phone carriers own colors so deeply you know exactly who "the blue one" is[35:30] - The Marlboro Formula One story: When cigarette ads were banned, they just showed "red and white racing car"—the brand connection was already there[40:00] - The clarity checklist: What do you do?

This is Episode 84 - Notorious Governors of Texas Edmund J. Davis and the first of our series of Notorious Governors of Texas. With all the politics in the news today, I've naturally been thinking about politics and politicians. One group that has always intrigued me are governors. Not presidents, or senators, or members of the house, but governors. They're the ones who really give a state its identity, well at least in a way, because they're most often the ‘face' of the state. Here in Texas, our current governor seems to love making pronouncements about how his administration is going to fight this or that evil that might be encroaching on Texan's freedoms. More often than not, it's usually just a bunch of fluff that his advisors know will make his hard-core supporters emotional and get him on the evening news. After all he's running for re-election and needs to make sure people don't forget about him. Naturally this got me to thinking about Texas governors in the past, so I started researching what I thought of the most notorious governors in the history of the state. These governors often gained notoriety due to the turbulent, defining political eras in which they served, such as the Civil War, Reconstruction, and the Progressive era scandals. So, today I'm going to start a series on these leaders from the past. First is Edmund J. Davis: Union Army Officer and Reconstruction Governor of Texas. Davis was governor in the reconstruction period 1870 and 1874. He was a Republican, (not the type of Republican we have today, these were the anti-slavery, pro-union republicans). Since he was a Republican during Reconstruction, needless to say he was very unpopular with a large percentage of white Texans. They thought of him as a tyrant, because he believed in using the state police and he was adamant in enforcing what many considered to be radical Republican policies. Who was he, and how did he become governor? As were many Texans at the time, he wasn't originally from Texas. He was born at St. Augustine, Florida, on October 2, 1827, to William Godwin and Mary Ann (Channer) Davis. His lineage traced back to a Grandfather Godwin Davis, who had immigrated from England to Virginia and had fought and perished during the Revolutionary War. His father, who lived in South Carolina, was a land developer and attorney in St. Augustine. As a young man Davis was educated in Florida, and at age 19 moved, with the family to Galveston, Texas, in January 1848. In Galveston he started a career working in the post office while he undertook the study of law. In 1849 he relocated to Corpus Christi, where he worked in a store and continued to read and study law and in the fall of 1849, he was admitted to the bar. Between 1849 and 1853 he was an inspector and deputy collector of customs at Laredo. In 1853 he became district attorney of the Twelfth Judicial District at Brownsville. About 1856 Governor Elisha M. Pease named him judge of the same district, and Davis continued to serve as a state judge until 1861. As judge he accompanied the ranger unit of Capt. William G. Tobin, who was involved in the Cortina affair at Brownsville in 1859 On April 6, 1858, Davis married Elizabeth Anne Britton, daughter of Forbes Britton, a state senator and friend of Sam Houston. Now we have his personal story, but this is Texas and in Texas nothing is simple, particularly politics. Davis was a Whig until the mid-1850s. OK, who were the Whigs? They were a major political party that was very active from 1834 to 1854. They were originally formed in order to oppose President Andrew Jackson's policies and his desire to expand executive power. (see power hungry president's isn't exactly anything new in American history). They supported Henry Clay's "American System," and they believed in modernization, industrialization, protective tariffs, and a national bank. The fell apart by infighting over the expansion of slavery into new territories. This caused Northern "Conscience" Whigs to join the Republican Party and Southern "Cotton" Whigs to join other factions, such as the fledgling democratic party and some joined the “Know-Nothing” party. In 1855 after the Whigs fell apart, Davis joined the Democratic party. In 1861 even though the Texas democratic party was a strong advocate for secession and were pro-slavery, Davis supported Sam Houston and opposed secession. He ran unsuccessfully to become a delegate to the Secession Convention. Once Texas voted to leave and announced it was seceding from the union, Davis refused to take the oath of loyalty to the Confederacy, and the state vacated his judgeship on April 24. Unable to support the Confederacy in May of 1862 Davis fled Texas and travelled to New Orleans. From New Orleans along with John L. Haynes and William Alexander, he went to Washington. The men met with President Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln recommended that the three would be given help so they could provide weapons to troops that they wanted to raise. On October 26, 1862, Davis received a colonel's commission and authorization to recruit the cavalry regiment that became the First Texas Cavalry (U.S.). The First Texas saw extensive service during the war. In January of 1863 they barely escaped capture when Galveston fell to Confederates. While in Matamoros in March of 1863 Davis was captured by Confederates. He had been there attempting to take his family out of Texas and also recruit men for his unit. Needless to say, his capture caused diplomatic trouble between the Confederacy and Mexico. Finally Confederate Gen. Hamilton P. Bee in order to appease the Mexican governor Albino López released Davis. Davis crossed back into Texas and from November to December 1863 he took part in Gen. Nathaniel P. Banks's unsuccessful Rio Grande campaign. in an effort to disrupt the border trade Davis's unit marched to Rio Grande City and seized cotton and slaves. On November 4, 1864, Davis was promoted to brigadier general and for the remainder of the war commanded Gen. Joseph J. Reynolds's cavalry in the Division of Western Mississippi. On June 2, 1865, he was among those who represented Gen. Edward R. S. Canby at Gen. Edmund Kirby Smith's surrender of Confederate forces in Texas. After the war Davis participated in state politics as a Unionist and Republican. He served in the Constitutional Convention of 1866 and ran in the 1866 general election he ran unsuccessfully for the state Senate from his old district. He represented the border district and served as president of the Constitutional Convention of 1868–69. During this time, he made enemies among the white population by consistently supporting political programs that would have restricted the political rights of secessionists, expanded rights for Blacks, and divided the state. He also favored the ab initio theory, which held that all laws passed since secession were null and void. He ran for governor in the election of 1869 against Andrew J. Hamilton, another Republican, and won in a closely disputed race. His administration was a controversial one. Its program called for law and order backed by a State Police and restored militia, public schools, internal improvements, bureaus of immigration and geology, and protection of the frontier. (Sounds vaguely familiar doesn't it) All of these were the subject of strong attacks from both Democratic and Republican opponents. They added to the controversy surrounding Reconstruction in Texas. Davis ran for reelection in December 1873 and was defeated by Richard Coke by a vote of two to one. Davis did not gracefully accept defeat, and he believed that the Republican national administration was partly responsible for his loss. He refused to vacate office after losing a what he considered a fraudulent-ridden 1873 election to Democrat Richard Coke. Here's what happened. Democrat Richard Coke defeated Republican incumbent Edmund J. Davis with 100,415 votes to 52,141, a margin of over two to one. Davis, a Republican, refused to leave, citing a Texas Supreme Court ruling (the "Semicolon Court" in Ex parte Rodriguez) that declared the election unconstitutional. Davis occupied the lower floor of the Capitol with state troops, while Democratic supporters of Coke took the second floor. He asked President Ulysses S. Grant to send in federal troops to help him stay in office. Grant refused and finally on January 19, 1874, Davis resigned, allowing Coke to take office and restoring Democratic control to Texas. This signaled the official end of Radical Reconstruction in Texas and initiated a long period of Democratic dominance. From 1875 until his death Davis, contemporarily described as a "tall, gaunt, cold-eyed, rather commanding figure," headed the Republican party in Texas as chairman of the state executive committee. In 1880 he ran again for governor but was badly defeated by Oran M. Roberts. In 1882 he ran for Congress in the Tenth District against John Hancock, again unsuccessfully. He was nominated as collector of customs at Galveston in 1880 but refused the job because of his opposition to the administration of President Rutherford B. Hayes. Supporters recommended him for a cabinet position under President Chester A. Arthur, but he received no appointment. Davis died in Austin on February 7, 1883, and is buried there in the State Cemetery. This has been the Hidden History of Texas and the first in our stories of “notorious” Texas governors, Edmund J. Davis – see you next time, thanks for listening
On Feb. 12, 1776, the journals of the Continental Congress reveal that Major Gen. Lee is very worried about New York and that troops should be sent form Pennsylvania and New Jersey to aid him. The Congress also works on distribution of salt peter for the purposes of making gunpowder and blankets for a batallion.

While George Washington was doing military work, a small group of leaders including Ben Franklin and John Jay were on the Committee of Secret Correspondence, which did diplomatic and foreign intelligence work in the service of the American cause. In this missive, Ben Franklin recaps the failed Canada campaign Washington referenced to John Hancock and offers an account of a Canadian visitor to Congress, who sounds like an intelligence asset, and his report on political reasons the campaign isn't working in Canada and how it could be helped. Turns out, it never did catch on north of the border. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

John Hancock and Michael Kelley join Chris Rongey and Amy Marxkors to talk about Washington Mo native David Hoffmann wanting to buy the Cardinals and the post-dispatch. President Trump makes a questionable post on Truth Social. Finally, what day should the Super Bowl be on.
Emily Roland, co-chief investment officer at Manulife John Hancock Investments, says that she may be forced to believe her eyes and is whispering to investors "This time is different," which are famously described as the most dangerous words in investing. With leading economic indicators negative for 38 months, the long time when the yield curve was inverted, three months of negative job growth and more; all of those are supposed indicators of trouble and recession, but the difference has been that the market has overcome those concerns. Roland is encouraging investors to resist the urge to trade on political headlines, or to get caught up in "fear of missing out" and jumping into parts of the market that are moving more on sentiment than fundamentals. She says it is a back-to-basics market, where investors might want to look more toward bonds as a backstop to high valuations and headline-induced nervousness. Brad Lamensdorf, portfolio manager of the Ranger Equity Bear ETF, says investors should be more nervous than they seem right now, because classic signs of trouble are building. Those factors include low money-market balances but high balances on margin accounts, suggesting that investors "are extremely aggressive and very, very off-balance here." Lamensdorf says that the market's current dividend yields and high prices make it the market "very, very expensive," at levels where some investors may feel they're not being rewarded for taking risk, a condition that is usually happening at times when bull markets are ending. In the Market Call, Brian Huckstep, chief investment officer at Advyzon Investment Management, discusses ETFs and mutual funds, which structure he prefers and which parts of the market stand out to him now.

The panel then turns to Missouri politics, breaking down Governor Mike Kehoe's proposal to replace the state income tax with a sales tax and the debate over its impact on lower income residents and the St. Louis region.

Health & Wellness Wednesday delivers powerful, real-life insight as John Rush dives into two critical health conversations that hit close to home for many listeners. Burn survivor Gail Petrillo (https://www.firstimpressions1.com/), Board Chair of the American Red Cross of Southern Arizona, shares her deeply personal story while spotlighting National Burn Awareness Week. How fast can everyday routines turn dangerous, and do you really know the right way to treat a burn before it becomes life-altering? The conversation then shifts as Thomas Greither, CEO of Flora Health (https://www.florahealth.com/), uncovers how iron deficiency may quietly rob millions of energy and vitality. Could fatigue, hair loss, or constant exhaustion be something more than just aging? Is a new approach to iron absorption changing how people reclaim their energy? Two guests, two life-impacting topics—one hour packed with insights that could change how you protect your family and care for your own health. What warning signs might you be missing right now? Guest Timestamps * Gail Petrillo — 10:01 * Thomas Greither — 29:18 HOUR 2 Hour 2 blends history, politics, and today's cultural flashpoints as John Rush explores leadership lessons from America's founding and how they apply to modern controversies. Author Richard Battle (https://richardbattle.com/) highlights the courage and sacrifice of John Hancock and asks what true civic leadership looks like in times of division. Later, Sunny Kutcher, Executive Director of Young Americans Against Socialism (https://yaas.org), joins the show to unpack recent court decisions allowing ICE enforcement actions to continue in Minnesota. Are protests protecting freedom—or obstructing efforts to combat crime and human trafficking? And are young Americans being equipped with facts or swept up in emotional narratives? From the founding era to today's immigration battles, the hour challenges listeners to examine responsibility, law enforcement realities, and the role of activism in shaping America's future. Are we honoring the principles that built the nation—or drifting away from them? Guest Timestamps * Richard Battle — 1:10 * Sunny Kutcher — 27:52 HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush To Reason shifts from global geopolitics to everyday economic concerns, delivering a fast-paced mix of foreign policy insight and financial clarity. Former U.S. Ambassador to Denmark Alan Leventhal explains why Greenland and the Arctic are suddenly center stage in global security. As Arctic routes open and tensions rise, could cooperation with NATO allies prove more powerful than confrontation? Later, financial advisor Scott Garliss, Founder of Bent Pine Capital (https://cscottgarliss.substack.com/), tackles fears of economic collapse and currency decline. Is a market crash really looming—or are long-term investors positioned to benefit as inflation eases and interest rate policy shifts? With discussion ranging from Federal Reserve decisions to global trade and AI-driven productivity gains, the hour asks: are headlines fueling fear while fundamentals quietly improve? From Arctic strategy to Wall Street reality, this hour challenges listeners to separate political noise from economic and geopolitical truth. Alan Leventhal — 1:09 Scott Garliss — 28:01

Burn survivor Gail Petrillo (https://www.firstimpressions1.com/), Board Chair of the American Red Cross of Southern Arizona, shares her deeply personal story while spotlighting National Burn Awareness Week. How fast can everyday routines turn dangerous, and do you really know the right way to treat a burn before it becomes life-altering? The conversation then shifts as Thomas Greither, CEO of Flora Health (https://www.florahealth.com/), uncovers how iron deficiency may quietly rob millions of energy and vitality. Could fatigue, hair loss, or constant exhaustion be something more than just aging? Is a new approach to iron absorption changing how people reclaim their energy? Two guests, two life-impacting topics—one hour packed with insights that could change how you protect your family and care for your own health. What warning signs might you be missing right now? Guest Timestamps * Gail Petrillo — 10:01 * Thomas Greither — 29:18 HOUR 2 Hour 2 blends history, politics, and today's cultural flashpoints as John Rush explores leadership lessons from America's founding and how they apply to modern controversies. Author Richard Battle (https://richardbattle.com/) highlights the courage and sacrifice of John Hancock and asks what true civic leadership looks like in times of division. Later, Sunny Kutcher, Executive Director of Young Americans Against Socialism (https://yaas.org), joins the show to unpack recent court decisions allowing ICE enforcement actions to continue in Minnesota. Are protests protecting freedom—or obstructing efforts to combat crime and human trafficking? And are young Americans being equipped with facts or swept up in emotional narratives? From the founding era to today's immigration battles, the hour challenges listeners to examine responsibility, law enforcement realities, and the role of activism in shaping America's future. Are we honoring the principles that built the nation—or drifting away from them? Guest Timestamps * Richard Battle — 1:10 * Sunny Kutcher — 27:52 HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush To Reason shifts from global geopolitics to everyday economic concerns, delivering a fast-paced mix of foreign policy insight and financial clarity. Former U.S. Ambassador to Denmark Alan Leventhal explains why Greenland and the Arctic are suddenly center stage in global security. As Arctic routes open and tensions rise, could cooperation with NATO allies prove more powerful than confrontation? Later, financial advisor Scott Garliss, Founder of Bent Pine Capital (https://cscottgarliss.substack.com/), tackles fears of economic collapse and currency decline. Is a market crash really looming—or are long-term investors positioned to benefit as inflation eases and interest rate policy shifts? With discussion ranging from Federal Reserve decisions to global trade and AI-driven productivity gains, the hour asks: are headlines fueling fear while fundamentals quietly improve? From Arctic strategy to Wall Street reality, this hour challenges listeners to separate political noise from economic and geopolitical truth. Alan Leventhal — 1:09 Scott Garliss — 28:01

Clearly, we know he was a Founding Father and most know he was the first to sign the great document. But beyond that, he is one of the least studied of the Founders. Today, we change that. To help in this challenge to shed light on him we are delighted to welcome as our special guest Robert Allison, Professor of History at Suffolk University, president of the Colonial Society of Massachusetts and chair of Revolution 250.
