Is magnetism a quality that you're born with, or can it be learned? Why is it that there are some people that seem to be magnetic, relatable, and truly authentic, so that when they show up on camera, create videos, or content on the Internet, no matter what it is they say, they draw an audience? We're answering these questions and more in this installment of the BBD Live Keynote Speaker Series! Today's guest, Alex Paulos, is my "secret weapon" that I've hired and used myself several times in my own company, and he's so good that I have him at all of my events to work with my clients as well. Recently, I had Alex on one of my Business by Design coaching calls, where he shared this mini-presentation on how to uncover who you really are at your core, and then take down the masks, or the personas, that prevent you from unlocking magnetic levels of authenticity in your life. In fact, this workshop was so good that I knew I had to share Alex and his work with even more people, which is why I'm bringing it to you here on the podcast! Alex will be joining me on the stage this year at BBD Live 2025 in December in Phoenix, Arizona and we are not doing one next year! I don't know when the next in-person one will be, which is why we wanted to pull out all the stops and make this the biggest and best ever, so if you want to see Alex Paulos and all of our other amazing speakers rock the stage and blow minds at BBD Live 2025, go to www.jameswedmore.com/tickets ASAP to see if tickets are still available)!

In today's episode, Dr. Cindra is joined by Dr. Karen MacNeill — former Team Canada athlete and world-renowned mental performance consultant who has supported Olympians, executives, and high-pressure teams across multiple Olympic Games. Karen shares what competing taught her that no textbook ever could, and takes us inside the "pressure ecosystem" of the Olympic Games — revealing what athletes, coaches, and staff need most when the lights are brightest. She and Cindra discuss practical, in-the-moment resets to stay grounded under pressure, the most common thinking traps before big moments, and the habits that transfer from sport to business… plus the ones that don't. You'll walk away with simple and powerful strategies to settle your mind, disrupt unhelpful thinking, and perform with intention when it counts — whether you're on the field, in the arena, or in the boardroom. If you want more confidence, resilience, and clarity under pressure — this episode is a must-listen. HIGH PERFORMANCE MINDSET SHOWNOTES FOR THIS EPISODE
Artificial Intelligence is changing everything about customer service and leadership, but only if we use it wisely. In this episode, I sit down with Kevin Dean, Founder and CEO of ManoByte, who's been leading AI-driven business transformation since 2007. Kevin and I dig into what it really means to combine AI and humanity to create better experiences, not just faster ones. We explore how organizations can audit their data, prepare their people, and adapt their leadership playbooks to keep up with the accelerating rate of change. You'll walk away with practical ideas to strengthen your data foundation, keep humans in the loop, and lead your team through the AI revolution with confidence. Key Takeaways: Great customer experiences balance needs, wants, and emotions. AI can't replace empathy. Good data is the foundation of any AI solution. Start by auditing what you have and where the gaps are. Always keep humans in the loop. AI should enable connection, not eliminate it. The real opportunity is using AI to solve problems faster, scale knowledge, and free up teams for deeper service. Leaders must reskill, adapt, and rewrite the playbook for a new era of service and speed. The pace of change isn't slowing down and those who adjust quickly will thrive. If you want to understand how to balance human empathy with AI efficiency and set your business up for consistent, scalable service, this episode will give you the playbook.
How to be the perfect host. In 1972, Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair opened SARM Studios the first 24-track recording studio in Europe where Queen mixed "Bohemian Rhapsody". His music publishing company, Druidcrest Music published the music for The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1973) and as a record producer, he co-produced the quadruple-platinum debut album by American band "Foreigner" (1976). American Top ten singles from this album included, "Feels Like The First Time", "Cold as Ice" and "Long, Long Way from Home". Other production work included "The Enid – In the Region of the Summer Stars", "The Curves", and "Nutz" as well as singles based on The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy with Douglas Adams and Richard O'Brien. Other artists who used SARM included: ABC, Alison Moyet, Art of Noise, Brian May, The Buggles, The Clash, Dina Carroll, Dollar, Flintlock, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Grace Jones, It Bites, Malcolm McLaren, Nik Kershaw, Propaganda, Rush, Rik Mayall, Stephen Duffy, and Yes. In 1987, he settled in Jerusalem to immerse himself in the study of Torah. His two Torah books The Color of Heaven, on the weekly Torah portion, and Seasons of the Moon met with great critical acclaim. Seasons of the Moon, a unique fine-art black-and-white photography book combining poetry and Torah essays, has now sold out and is much sought as a collector's item fetching up to $250 for a mint copy. He is much in demand as an inspirational speaker both in Israel, Great Britain and the United States. He was Plenary Keynote Speaker at the Agudas Yisrael Convention, and Keynote Speaker at Project Inspire in 2018. Rabbi Sinclair lectures in Talmud and Jewish Philosophy at Ohr Somayach/Tannenbaum College of Judaic studies in Jerusalem and is a senior staff writer of the Torah internet publications Ohrnet and Torah Weekly. His articles have been published in The Jewish Observer, American Jewish Spirit, AJOP Newsletter, Zurich's Die Jüdische Zeitung, South African Jewish Report and many others.

In this episode of the SpeakersU Podcast, James Taylor and Maria Franzoni tackle one of the biggest questions every professional speaker faces: how much should I charge? Drawing on decades of experience as a bureau owner, Maria explains how to set your keynote fee, when to raise it, and why you should never discount. James shares insights from his own speaking business — including how he tests price levels, manages international vs. virtual fees, and negotiates without losing value. Together they explore the psychology, strategy, and market realities of pricing yourself in the global speaking industry. Whether you're just starting out or ready to move into a higher fee bracket, this episode is packed with real-world advice on finding your sweet spot, building fee integrity, and communicating your value with confidence. Key Takeaways Value, not time – Your fee reflects outcomes and expertise, not minutes on stage. Know your market – Corporate, education, and government sectors have very different budgets. Location matters – Fees vary across regions; the U.S. and Middle East typically pay more than the U.K. Profile sets price – Seniority, credibility, and positioning determine perceived value. Don't publish your fees – Keep flexibility to tailor pricing per client and market. Raise fees when there's no pushback – If you're closing 75% of inquiries, your fee is too low. Virtual vs. in-person – Treat virtual strategically; it can be equal or higher depending on effort and impact. Never discount — negotiate – Exchange value (video footage, PR, introductions) instead of lowering price. Fee integrity matters – Keep consistency across bureaus and direct clients to avoid confusion. Strategic pricing evolves – Adjust fees as your demand, reputation, and market position grow. Memorable Quotes "Your fee isn't for 45 minutes on stage — it's for everything that got you there." – Maria Franzoni "If 75% of people are saying yes, your fee's too low." – James Taylor "Never discount. Negotiate." – Maria Franzoni "Make your website look like a $10,000 speaker even if you charge $5,000." – Maria Franzoni "Relevance, reliability, and results — that's what earns higher fees." – James Taylor Episode Timestamps 00:00 – Welcome and catching up (dogs, weather, and winter settings) 02:41 – Why fee setting is like finding your temperature sweet spot 03:30 – What determines your starting keynote fee 05:08 – Industry and market differences in speaker pricing 06:59 – Global markets: U.S., U.K., Europe, Middle East, and Australia 07:49 – Profile, credibility, and client type as key price drivers 08:45 – Which industries pay best (and which don't) 10:10 – Using event clues (like hotel choice) to gauge budget 11:25 – Should you publish your fees online? 13:12 – Pricing psychology: how travel, time, and opportunity cost affect value 14:05 – Website positioning and showreel strategy 16:07 – When and how to raise your fees confidently 17:23 – The "75% rule" and psychological pricing mindset 18:31 – Fee communication and working with bureaus 20:23 – Virtual vs. in-person fees: strategy, value, and structure 23:45 – Hybrid models: longer, interactive virtual formats 25:49 – International pricing strategies and personal preferences 27:24 – The post-pandemic fee landscape 28:22 – Net vs. gross fees and bureau commissions 31:01 – Why the "D-word" (discount) is banned forever 31:45 – How to negotiate extra value instead of discounting 33:24 – Creative negotiations: travel perks, intros, and even gambling chips 33:57 – Final tips: researching competitors and bureau listings 34:35 – James' Blue Ocean strategy for finding pricing gaps 35:48 – Wrap-up and next episode preview Have a question or topic suggestion for James and Maria?

This episode goes behind the polished words of Buckingham Palace to unpack the public relations machinery that managed the downfall of Prince Andrew.In October 2025, King Charles III formally removed all of Andrew's titles and evicted him from his Windsor residence.On the surface, it looked like accountability.But beneath the royal phrasing lay a carefully timed communications plan.We'll walk through the anatomy of that plan: how one resurfaced email reignited the scandal, how two precisely timed statements reframed it, and how the Palace's language turned a personal disgrace into an institutional act of duty.Want More Behind the Breakdown?

As 2025 comes to hurling toward an end a new attraction arrives at Disney's Animal Kingdom. Zootopia Better Zoogether is now in the Tree of Life Theater and offers something new for this park which begs for more guests. And at a great time to do so, as this time of year is the best time of year to visit the park, which is free of heat, humidity and exhaustion. The new show replaces "It's Tough to Be a Bug" which premiered with the park, and was based on "It's a Bug's Life", the second film created by Pixar after Toy Story. This new show is based on Zootopia and Zootopia 2 and brings you into the dynamic world of Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde. We look at the origins, then experience the show during early previews, where we walk the queue indoor and out.

Nachhaltigkeit erfolgreich umsetzen - mit dem Sustainability Podcast für Leader: Gewinne Zukunft.
„Wie warm wäre die Welt, wenn alle so wirtschaften würden wie wir?“ Diese provokante Frage steht im Zentrum dieser Episode - und die Antwort wirkt wie ein Realitätscheck für alle C-Level-Entscheider:innen, Sustainability-Manager:innen und ESG-Profis. Hannah Helmke, CEO & Mitgründerin von right°, teilt in diesem Podcast exklusiv die neuesten Ergebnisse des What-if-Reports zum DAX 40. Plötzlich erscheint der Dekarbonisierungspfad deutscher Unternehmen in einem gänzlich neuen Kontext. Denn Hannah und ihr Team haben mit dem sogenannten XDC-Modell frei verfügbare Nachhaltigkeitsdaten in einen neuen Kontext gesetzt. Die Ergebnisse sind höchst relevant für alle, die in ihrer Organisation die Nachhaltigkeitsstrategie vorantreiben wollen – und Argumente suchen, die sofort einleuchten! Nach dieser Folge weißt Du: ✅ Welche fünf DAX-Unternehmen bereits pariskonform performen. ✅ Warum das XDC-Modell aufzeigt, wer Wachstum und CO₂-Emissionen erfolgreich entkoppelt hat. ✅ Warum die Lücke zwischen ambitionierten Klimazielen und realer Umsetzung weniger ein Technologie-, sondern vor allem ein Governance-Problem ist. ✅ Was Sustainability-Profis bei der internen Kommunikation dringend beachten sollten, damit ESG nicht zur Nische, sondern zum Business-Treiber wird. Hannah lässt im Gespräch mit Podcast-Host Zackes Brustik konkrete Beispiele von typischen deutschen Unternehmen wie Dürr oder Phoenix Contact einfließen und erklärt, was deren Nachhaltigkeitsstrategie erfolgreich macht. Und natürlich erklärt sie genau, was das X-Degree-Compatibility-Modell (XDC) so einmalig macht – und warum es einen entscheidenden Schritt weitergeht als die SBTi. Klingt nach Pflichtlektüre für alle, die Nachhaltigkeit im Unternehmen nicht dem Zufall überlassen wollen? Ist es auch! Host Zackes Brustik liefert wie immer Klartext und motivierende Praxisimpulse. Jetzt reinhören – und den eigenen Kurs challengen! NEWSLETTER: Hier teilt Zackes einmal im Monat die wichtigsten Entwicklungen, spannende Ressourcen und wertvolle Tipps, die er als Moderator und Speaker in Gesprächen hinter den Kulissen einsammelt. Außerdem erwarten Dich die kompakten Zusammenfassungen der aktuellen „Gewinne Zukunft“-Folgen:
What if the only thing standing between you and your absolute peak performance isn't effort, strategy, or even time... but untreated trauma? Are you ready to discover the "whole new gear" you didn't even know your business (and life!) was capable of? For this very first episode of the BBD Live Keynote Speaker Series, I'm bringing back one of my absolute favorite interviews with Dr. Don Wood, which originally aired in March 2025.

In this episode we explore a truly unexpected heritage-risk story: the Poison Book Project, where conservators discovered that beautiful emerald-green book cloths from the 19th century were hiding arsenic-based pigments. We trace how a routine conservation observation at Winterthur led to global cataloguing, how the chemistry works, how libraries are responding—and what this means for the next time you pick up a vintage book. If you thought books were safe, think again. Tease alert: we'll also share the hopeful side of how knowledge safeguards our cultural heritage. The internet says it's true.

Sometimes a setback does more than stop you; it reroutes you. Petra Zink is a Brand & Business Growth Strategist, Keynote Speaker, and Author who helps executives and founders turn their reputation into scalable revenue. She's the founder of impaCCCt and The360Talent.Co, host of the Trusted Authority™ Podcast, and author of Trusted Authority: From Unknown to Known. Originally from Austria, Petra has been living in Australia for 16 years after coming for a six-month stay. Her journey started after being put on a performance improvement plan instead of getting the promotion she expected. Petra developed the impaCCCt framework based on a simple observation: when she asked recruitment candidates what they wanted, they all said "I want to make an impact," but few could explain what that actually looked like. Petra turned that insight into a challenge: how do you turn something so abstract into a process anyone can follow? The result was her impaCCCt framework, built around three pillars—Clarify, Communicate, and Commercialize. Petra also shares why foundation work is essential, how she condensed her program into an intensive full-day immersion, and why working out loud with experiments beats playing it safe. Key Takeaways: Your Beliefs Plus Your Behavior Build Your Brand. If you don't believe you're good enough, you won't take the actions to reshape how you're seen. Get Reps In Before Seeking Perfection. Start with small experiments rather than waiting for the perfect business model. The Three O's of Credibility Matter. Build your own credibility. Tap into other people's credibility through association. Create on-the-go credibility by working out loud. Foundation Work Is Unsexy But Essential. Positioning yourself takes time and isn't visible, but without it, your marketing assets mean nothing. Speed Creates Better Results. The faster you get assets out there, the quicker you get feedback to refine what works. Work Out Loud With Stretch Goals. Set ambitious experiments and document the journey publicly so people can help you.

Join host Joanne Carey as she chats with Special Guest: Michael Novak Artistic Director of the Paul Taylor Dance CompanyIn this episode of "Dance Talk” ® with Joanne Carey , host Joanne Carey interviews Michael Novak, the artistic director of the Paul Taylor Dance Company. Michael shares his journey into dance, overcoming personal challenges such as stuttering, and his transition from musical theater to ballet and modern dance. He discusses the importance of authenticity in dance, the role of resident choreographers, and the exciting new educational initiatives at the company's new space. The conversation also highlights the upcoming season at Lincoln Center, featuring a mix of new works and classic pieces, and Michael's vision for the future of the company.Michael Novak: became the second Artistic Director in the history of the Paul Taylor Dance Foundation in September 2018, having been selected by Mr. Taylor months earlier to succeed him upon his death. Novak was nominated for the Clive Barnes Foundation Dance Award for his debut Season. During his career with the Company, he performed fifty-six roles in fifty Taylor dances.Raised in Rolling Meadows, Illinois, Novak began studying dance at age ten and by age seventeen was offered a Presidential Scholarship to attend The University of the Arts in Philadelphia to pursue training in jazz and ballet. In 2005 Novak was admitted to Columbia University's School of General Studies, where he was awarded scholarships for academic excellence. He became a member of the Columbia Ballet Collaborative, the University's critically acclaimed resident company, and was named Artistic Associate responsible for advising on the curation of resident choreographers and directing the group's branding and promotion. At Columbia, Novak became immersed in the study of dance history, which ignited a passion for modern dance. He developed a keen interest in the work of François Delsarte, the 19th Century French movement theorist who codified the system linking emotion and gesture that would inspire the first generation of American modern dancers. At Columbia he performed Mr. Taylor's solo in Aureole, which led him to embrace the Taylor repertoire. In a 2009 program celebrating Diaghilev at Columbia's Miller Theatre, Novak embodied Vaslav Nijinsky's role in L'Après-midi d'un faune with an authenticity that brought him to the attention of dance critics and scholars. Upon graduation, he received his BA in Dance magna cum laude with Departmental Honors, and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. As a distinguished alumnus, he was the Keynote Speaker for the Class of 2020.The Paul Taylor Dance Company continues to be one of the world's premier dance companies. New York Times hailed his inaugural season as Artistic Director as “groundbreaking and inspirational.” In memory of Mr. Taylor, he launched “The Celebration Tour,” a multi-year international touring retrospective of the Taylor repertoire. He co-directed the Company's first virtual live-streamed benefit, Modern is Now: Stories of our Future,. And during the height of the Covid pandemic, he brought the Taylor Company to sixteen venues in eleven American cities for a total of fifty-one performances, earning the designation “Best of Dance 2021” from The Washington Post. 2021 he selected Taylor alumna and dance educator Carolyn Adams to head the Taylor School showing his commitment to broadening the Foundation's impact in arts education. 2022 Novak selected former New York City Ballet dancer Lauren Lovette to be the Taylor Company's first Resident Choreographer.https://paultaylordance.org/“Dance Talk” ® with Joanne Carey "Where the Dance World Connects, the Conversations Inspire, and Where We Are Keeping Them Real."https://dancetalkwithjoannecarey.com/Follow Joanne Carey on Instagram@westfieldschoolofdanceTune in.

Together, they explore how cybercrime has matured into a global economy—and why organizations of every size must learn to compete, not just defend.O'Neill draws from decades of undercover work and corporate investigation to reveal that cybercriminals now operate like modern businesses: they innovate, specialize, and scale. The difference? Their product is your data. He argues that resilience—not prevention—is the true marker of readiness. Companies can't assume they're too small or too obscure to be targeted. “It's just a matter of numbers,” he says. “At some point, you will get struck. You need to be able to take the punch and keep moving.”The discussion covers the practical realities facing small and midsize businesses: limited budgets, fragmented tools, and misplaced confidence. O'Neill explains why so many organizations over-invest in overlapping technologies while under-investing in strategy. His firm helps clients identify these inefficiencies and replace tool sprawl with coordinated defense.Preparation, O'Neill says, should follow his PAID methodology—Prepare, Assess, Investigate, Decide. The goal is to plan ahead, detect fast, and act decisively. Those that do not prepare spend ten times more responding after an incident than they would have spent preventing it.Martin and O'Neill also examine how storytelling bridges the gap between security teams and executive boards. Using relatable analogies—like house fires and insurance—O'Neill makes cybersecurity human. His message is simple: security is not a technical decision; it's a business one.Listen to hear how the business of cybercrime mirrors legitimate enterprise—and why understanding that truth might be your best defense.⬥RESOURCES⬥Book: Spies, Lies, and Cybercrime by Eric O'Neill – Book linkBook: Gray Day by Eric O'Neill – Book linkFree, Weekly Newsletter: spies-lies-cybercrime.ericoneill.netPodcast: Former FBI Spy Hunter Eric O'Neill Explains How Cybercriminals Use Espionage techniques to Attack Us: https://redefiningsocietyandtechnologypodcast.com/episodes/new-book-spies-lies-and-cyber-crime-former-fbi-spy-hunter-eric-oneill-explains-how-cybercriminals-use-espionage-techniques-to-attack-us-redefining-society-and-technology-podcast-with-marco-ciappelli⬥ADDITIONAL INFORMATION⬥✨ More Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast:

Welcome! In this podcast, I read three quotes which share two things in common. First, they speak of low attendance in the park and how empty things are. Second, they were all written in 2024. I could share with you several statements like these that emphasize how empty the parks are. To many it sounds like statements heard these last couple of months around both Disneyland and Walt Disney World. But statements like these are actually from 2024. Were they true? Well, the TEA (Themed Entertainment Association) shared their annual Global Experience Index for 2024. We'll look at what it has to say, particularly as we study the Disney and Universal parks in both Florida and California. The findings may not only surprise you, but they are probably an indication of the kinds of numbers we're experiencing here. To that end, we'll talk about what Disney is doing about attendance to include new announcements Disney has made for America's 250th Anniversary. ________________________________________________________ Disney Insights YouTube Page--Check it out and subscribe.

“The most fulfilling creativity is the kind that feels like you're standing naked in public.” — Melanie CurtisThis episode is your invitation to explore the meaning of courageous self-expression. I'm joined by Melanie Curtis, professional skydiver, keynote speaker, and life coach. Melanie shares the BTS of her creative journey including: Skydiving naked, building an art installation, and how she uses psychedelics for deeper healing and sharper creative insight.She also opens up about what it means to share from the scar, not the wound. Why risk is a non-negotiable in her creative process. And how “being naked” is less about shock and more about truth.Melanie reminds you that your most meaningful work comes when you let go of how it will land, and make it anyway. Creativity isn't a luxury, it's a necessary to nourish your soul. Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, or on your favorite podcast platform while you cook, clean, or create.

In 1972, Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair opened SARM Studios the first 24-track recording studio in Europe where Queen mixed “Bohemian Rhapsody”. His music publishing company, Druidcrest Music published the music for The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1973) and as a record producer, he co-produced the quadruple-platinum debut album by American band “Foreigner” (1976). American Top ten singles from this album included, “Feels Like The First Time”, “Cold as Ice” and “Long, Long Way from Home”. Other production work included “The Enid – In the Region of the Summer Stars”, “The Curves”, and “Nutz” as well as singles based on The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy with Douglas Adams and Richard O'Brien. Other artists who used SARM included: ABC, Alison Moyet, Art of Noise, Brian May, The Buggles, The Clash, Dina Carroll, Dollar, Flintlock, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Grace Jones, It Bites, Malcolm McLaren, Nik Kershaw, Propaganda, Rush, Rik Mayall, Stephen Duffy, and Yes. In 1987, he settled in Jerusalem to immerse himself in the study of Torah. His two Torah books The Color of Heaven, on the weekly Torah portion, and Seasons of the Moon met with great critical acclaim. Seasons of the Moon, a unique fine-art black-and-white photography book combining poetry and Torah essays, has now sold out and is much sought as a collector's item fetching up to $250 for a mint copy. He is much in demand as an inspirational speaker both in Israel, Great Britain and the United States. He was Plenary Keynote Speaker at the Agudas Yisrael Convention, and Keynote Speaker at Project Inspire in 2018. Rabbi Sinclair lectures in Talmud and Jewish Philosophy at Ohr Somayach/Tannenbaum College of Judaic studies in Jerusalem and is a senior staff writer of the Torah internet publications Ohrnet and Torah Weekly. His articles have been published in The Jewish Observer, American Jewish Spirit, AJOP Newsletter, Zurich's Die Jüdische Zeitung, South African Jewish Report and many others. Rabbi Sinclair was born in London, and lives with his family in Jerusalem. He was educated at St. Anthony's Preparatory School in Hampstead, Clifton College, and Bristol University.

When Politico dropped nearly 3,000 pages of leaked Telegram messages from the Young Republican National Federation, it revealed a disturbing culture behind closed doors.

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with Kash Rocheleau, CEO of Icon Foods, Inc.. She discusses the importance of mentorship, fostering cultures of ownership and transparency, and explains why real growth occurs when we step outside our comfort zones. In today's episode, we discuss: Recognize the impact of supportive mentors in your life. Seek out people who champion your goals and remind you of your strengths during challenges; even one person who believes in you can turn obstacles into opportunities. Lean into self-reliance but also understand when collaboration is important. Balancing independence with the ability to ask for help allows you to own your journey while benefiting from collective wisdom, a dynamic that improves both personal and professional relationships. Embrace your imperfections as valuable leadership assets. When you let go of perfectionism and openly admit your mistakes, it demonstrates authenticity that naturally builds trust and boosts team morale. Remember, vulnerability can often be your greatest strength. Foster cultures of ownership and transparency wherever you are. Whether as a leader or team member, contributing to an environment where people feel responsible for outcomes creates a sense of pride and belonging that benefits everyone. Reexamine the personal “ceilings” you accept or create in your life. Believe that your potential is not capped by others but by yourself, and seek (or become) the kind of support that encourages ambition, so you always have the permission to grow. RESOURCES: Guest Bio: Kash Rocheleau is the CEO of Icon Foods, a leading supplier of clean-label sweetening systems and functional ingredients for the food and beverage industry.

Disney is always looking for new ways to share stories. And increasingly those stories are trying to be more interactive, more immersive and more personalized. And at the same time, high tech companies are trying to be more interactive, more immersive and more personalized. One of those is Meta, or Facebook as many have come to know it. And as Mark Zuckerberg recently announced a new version of their Meta/RayBand eye wear, Disney has also announced that it will be partnering with Meta to create more interactive, more immersive, and more personalized experiences. With a pair of original Meta Glasses I recently received, I visited Disney's Hollywood Studios to test them out. The outcome is this: Meta Glasses are astonishingly smart while being amazingly stupid. This episode shows you how they accomplish both. But in the wake of it, offers some glimpse of what the future might do. So kick back and enjoy this episode as we explore the AI Possibilities at Disney through Rose-Colored Metas. ________________________________________________________ Disney Insights YouTube Page--Check it out and subscribe.

Discover the surprising power of "Radical Customer Obsession" with author and expert Amanda Stevens. She explains that in a digitally distracted world, the key to success is getting to the heart of what your customers really need, not just what they tell you. From understanding the "Inner Circle" dynamic of female members to learning from other industries, this episode is packed with brilliant insights on how to create a "sticky" business that defies market pressures and turns customers into disciples. Key highlights from the episode: - Know Your Customer Intimately: Get "insanely curious" about your members, because the person who joined your gym isn't the same person they are today. - The Power of the Inner Circle: For female members, the "inner circle" of 2-3 friends is a primary source of information. Gaining a higher market share of these circles can increase member loyalty and tenure. - High-Tech, High-Touch: The future of the customer experience in the fitness industry will exist at the intersection of high tech and high touch, where you leverage technology while focusing on human moments that algorithms can't compete with.
