Episode 2131 - Eric Yaverbaum on the AI Marketing Backlash

In this exclusive interview with Eric Yaverbaum, CEO of Ericho Communications and author of the definitive bestseller Public Relations for Dummies. Yaverbaum dissected the central paradox in marketing today: why are major brands rejecting AI in their advertising, even as the tech industry pours billions into automation? Yaverbaum explained that this “anti-AI” trend is not a technological rejection, but a highly strategic public relationsmove. It's a response to a deep-seated crisis of consumer trust and a sophisticated way to achieve competitive advantage in a hyper-digital world. The Core Paradox: Consumer Trust and the Anti-AI Trend Yaverbaum asserts that while AI promises efficiency, public sentiment reveals a massive gap between corporate adoption and consumer comfort. Consumer trust in AI is low, with many expressing anxiety over deepfakes, job displacement, and data misuse. * Public Sentiment: Brands like Polaroid and Heineken are actively responding to this skepticism. For example, Polaroid's viral slogan, “AI can't generate sand between your toes,” taps into a public yearning for tangible, human-produced experiences and authenticity. * Strategic Rejection: Rejecting AI is the smartest new counter-cultural marketing strategy. It positions a brand as authentic, human, and a champion against digital fatigue, creating an immediate, clear competitive distinction in a crowded market. The PR Crisis Connection: Labor and Trust A significant driver of the AI marketing backlash is the negative news cycle connecting rapid automation with mass layoffs (e.g., Amazon's cuts). * Distancing the Brand: Brands using "human-made" campaigns are intentionally distancing themselves from the negative labor narrative associated with rapid automation. This is a crucial PR move to maintain a positive ethical image and soften the perception of C-suite-driven cost reduction. * Credibility & Misinformation: The proliferation of deepfakes makes the promise of human creativity a non-negotiable asset. For consumers struggling to discern real content from AI-generated content, a brand that explicitly champions human effort becomes a trustworthy, credible harbor. Crisis Management: The 'Public Relations for Dummies' Tactic Drawing from his expertise, Eric Yaverbaum offered essential crisis communications advice for companies facing a PR nightmare (e.g., an AI mistake or layoff fallout): 1. Lead with Human Value: Pivot the narrative back to human contribution and transparency. 2. Take Meaningful Action: Sincere apologies are insufficient. Companies must demonstrate concrete steps to invest in their human workforce and stakeholders. 3. No Empty Promises: Every public decision must align with stated core values to prevent hypocrisy accusations that can destroy long-term reputation. Future Outlook: Will Public Sentiment Slow the AI Boom? Yaverbaum concluded that the backlash has the power to reshape the conversation, forcing companies to be more cautious and transparent about their use of automation. While the momentum of the technology itself may be too great to stop entirely, this shift in consumer behavior and preference will force a necessary industry-wide correction, making authenticity the most valuable asset in the modern digital economy.

CEO Phil Trapkin's journey to creating BlissTrax started over two decades ago with his personal discovery: syncing music to his running pace significantly elevated his workouts. This early experience in marrying rhythm with movement was the seed. The idea fully came to life when he was later introduced to the concept of binaural beats, leading to the insight that sound technology could be engineered to guide the brain into specific states while the body is active.

In this recent interview on The Ash Said It Show, rising R&B artist Bria Cheri offered a deep dive into the creative process and powerful message behind her latest single, "Boy Toy." The conversation captivated listeners as Bria explained the song's bold title and its relevance to contemporary relationships. Challenging Norms with a Provocative Title Bria Cheri revealed that the title "Boy Toy" was a deliberate choice, designed to be provocative and challenge traditional gender roles within relationships. She shared that the song's narrative is a powerful blend of personal experience and broader observations, serving as an anthem for reclaiming power and agency. The song redefines the "boy toy" label, transforming it from a term of subservience into a symbol of strength and self-possession. Musicality and Emotional Authenticity Beyond the lyrics, Bria discussed the meticulous crafting of the song's musicality. She highlighted how the instrumentation was carefully chosen to evoke a sense of confidence and empowerment, complementing the single's powerful message. The interview also touched on the vulnerability required to write such authentic lyrics, a challenge Bria embraced to ensure her storytelling remained raw and genuine. What's Next for Bria Cheri Concluding the interview, Bria Cheri hinted that "Boy Toy" is just a glimpse of a larger, upcoming project. Fans can anticipate more music that delves into complex relationship themes, all delivered with her signature blend of soulful R&B and raw emotional honesty.

She is a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. She is a singer-songwriter, aspiring actress, dancer, and pianist from Jamaica Queens, NY, who currently resides in Long Island, NY. Bria has spent over a decade perfecting her craft in music professionally for over ten years.   As time progressed, she explored acting in a few independent films as an extra and managed/hosted her own radio show FLAVA at Long Island University. After graduation, Bria Cheri volunteered her time online with several radio stations such as KFSM radio, FreedomKRadio, WRDR radio, Rebel 107.9 and Radiomga.com to support independent artists. She wanted to help promote their music on the networks and interview them to inform a broader audience about their talent. Music has always been a part of Bria Cheri's heart & soul. Her musical influences range from rock, jazz, house music and hip-hop. So, no matter what genre of music the artist had, she always welcomed them to her show in addition to recommending them to the affiliated stations. Today, Bria has been very tenacious with her career.  When she is not performing, she will either write music on her own based on some elements of her experiences, observations, or collaborate with songwriters. Very often she will play the keyboard to create a beat to stimulate her song writing ideas. When she needs additional creative ideas, Bria Cheri notifies her mentor Donnie Klang or songwriter Kyle Davidson. Donnie Klang who is a singer, songwriter, and producer was formerly signed to Bad Boy Records after winning MTV's reality show, “Making the Band 4.” Donnie owns and operates his recording studio with business partner Matthew LaPorter, known as The Loft Sound Studio, LLC in Syosset, NY.

Bria Cheri released her third EP, titled “Phoenix” in 2023, which was produced by Raphael Gibbs from Become Elite Media, LLC. The project encapsulates her growth as an artist and as a woman. This project inspired her to release another video on YouTube, “Don't Worry.' As of April 2023, Bria Cheri's musical journey enabled her the honor of meeting and opening for the legendary Styles P from the Hip-Hop group, The Lox, at Bullet Proof Studios in New Jersey. In 2024, Bria Cheri performed at the “So Fly So Fabulous Fashion Show” in New York City and was interviewed by Sway at SiriusXM on the Sway In The Morning radio show. The So Fly So Fabulous event was the first performance at a fashion show, but the energy from the audience, featuring artists and the DJ made it worthwhile in combination with the phenomenal and unique fashion designs by Sara Louis. Bria Cheri's interview with Sway expressed who she is as an artist and was very appreciative for the opportunity to showcase her talent to a national audience. The interview can be found on YouTube entitled, “Sway's Universe” at https://youtu.be/rKVkfZgWgVw. Currently, a new song “Boy Toy” produced by Donnie Klang with songwriting collaborator Kyle Davidson will be released on Tuesday, September 9, 2025. The song delves into playful roles in dating.

Ahsima House is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping domestic violence survivors and their pets in Georgia. Ahimsa House offers free services to anyone in Georgia, regardless of their financial situation. The Ahimsa House Story Ahimsa House was founded with a central shelter in Atlanta, but in 2007, the organization shifted its approach to better serve a wider range of people. The group launched a direct services program that uses a network of foster homes and boarding facilities throughout Georgia to provide confidential and safe shelter for pets. Since its founding, Ahimsa House has provided over 198,000 nights of safe, confidential shelter for pets in need. In 2023, Ahimsa House assisted 198 people and 365 pets, its most successful year to date. The organization's 24-hour crisis line also received 3,785 calls in 2023. Ahimsa House is primarily funded by individual donations, grants, and corporate sponsorships. The cost to care for one survivor's pets is approximately $2,000, which can increase when multiple, exotic, or neglected animals require extensive care. Direct Services Program Ahimsa House's direct services program is designed to provide comprehensive support for survivors and their pets. The program includes: A 24-hour statewide crisis line. Emergency shelter for all types of animals. Veterinary care, including spay/neuter services, preventive care, and treatment for injuries due to abuse. Forensic veterinary examinations to document animal cruelty for legal proceedings. Pet transportation assistance to help owners and their pets relocate safely.

Assistance with safety planning to include pets. Legal advocacy to help survivors include pets in temporary protective orders.

Dr. Pamela Roshell's Plan for a Healthier Fulton County: Solving Health Deserts & Boosting Community Wellness Dr. Pamela Roshell is leading a comprehensive effort to transform public health in Fulton County, Georgia. Her strategy is a tailored, holistic approach that addresses the unique needs of communities from North to South Fulton. Roshell's mission focuses on tackling "health deserts"—areas with limited healthcare access. Through strategic partnerships, like the one with Morehouse School of Medicine, she is establishing new community clinics. These hubs offer essential services, including primary care and preventative screenings, to create a more equitable healthcare system for underserved residents. Leveraging her background as a former Obama Administration official and Regional Director for HHS, Roshell brings a deep understanding of securing federal funding for innovative, community-based solutions. A top priority is mental and behavioral health. Roshell is fighting the stigma and lack of access to care through new programs and expanded access points. Her work also directly benefits Fulton County's senior population, with initiatives that improve access to care and promote social engagement to combat isolation. Roshell believes in a holistic approach to community well-being, recognizing that public safety and the arts are interconnected with health. This 360-degree view helps her create policies that improve the overall wellness of the county's residents. Follow @fultoninfo Web: https://www.FultonCounty.gov Call: (404) 612-4000 About: Dr. Roshell, one of the highest regarded experts on health services in the south (and an Obama Administration Presidential Appointee!) – she'd love to talk about how Fulton County is improving quality of life for its residents through developing new clinics in “health deserts,” and working to solve critical health issues for individuals and families in the county's 15 municipalities (Fulton County extends from cities like Milton, Alpharetta, Johns Creek at the top to Fairburn, Chatahoochee Hills and more at the base of the long county!). This includes behavioral health and mental health, some very important topics these days! She is a delight! Please let me know the coordinates I should share with her, and I should have at least one other person to send you for the following day too...   Dr. Pamela Roshell serves as Chief Operating Officer for Fulton County Government, where she provides executive leadership and operational oversight across key service areas including Health and Human Services, Economic Development, Public Safety, and Arts and Libraries. In this role, she manages a broad portfolio of countywide initiatives, directs a large and diverse workforce, and stewards a multi-million dollar operating budget that supports critical programs and services for Fulton County residents. She also ensures alignment with essential community partners, including the Fulton County Board of Health and the Department of Family and Children Services.   Since joining Fulton County in 2017, Dr. Roshell has held several senior leadership roles, including Deputy Chief Operating Officer and Director of Senior Services. Her work has focused on advancing innovative strategies to improve service delivery, expand access to care, and strengthen outcomes for vulnerable populations.   Prior to her service in county government, Dr. Roshell was appointed Regional Director for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, where she oversaw federal health programs across the Southeast. She also held executive roles at the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), including serving as State Director for AARP Georgia, where she led advocacy, outreach, and program development for more than one million members.   Dr. Roshell holds a bachelor's degree from Columbia College, a Master of Social Work with a concentration in administration from the University of South Carolina, and a Ph.D. in social policy, planning, and administration from Clark Atlanta University.

Education and job training can lead to good jobs and living wages; but for many adult learners, that path to greater prosperity is anything but straightforward. Structural barriers, disconnected systems, and outdated models often make it difficult for individuals to gain the skills and credentials they need to advance their careers. How can we modernize education and workforce systems and create opportunities for all learners? In this episode of the Leading Voices podcast, host Danny Torres talks with Kathy Booth, Director of the Center for Economic Mobility at WestEd, and Randy Tillery, Director of Economic Mobility and Postsecondary and Workforce Systems at WestEd and Co-Director of the Center for Economic Mobility. They discuss the challenges many adult learners face—such as balancing work, caregiving, and school—and why short-term training alone often falls short. They emphasize the value of cross-sector partnerships between community colleges, employers, and workforce organizations in building systems that are more responsive to both learners' needs and local labor markets.  Their conversation covers the following topics:  How valuable it is to build partnerships that connect education institutions, employers, and workforce systems  How labor market data can inform program design and improve outcomes  Why lifelong learning and skills-based hiring are essential in today's economy  How systems can adapt to support learning across all stages of life  Read the Transcript Additional Resources WestEd Center for Economic Mobility (Website)  The Credential Value Index (Website)  What Gets in the Way of Education Reforms?

On Sunday night, devastating news came out of Idaho, as Americans learned that a gunman opened fire on firefighters responding to a call — ultimately killing two of them. Because the heinous news broke during 'Sunday Night in America with Trey Gowdy,' the interviews he had prepared weren't aired as breaking news rightfully took priority. So today, Trey chose three conversations that didn't make it to air to share — ones that dive into a range of key issues in the country. First, Trey speaks with CIA Director John Ratcliffe about the ongoing war between Iran and Israel, and how badly Iran's nuclear program was damaged by U.S. strikes. Later, he speaks with Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, Congressman Jason Smith (R-MO) about whether he believes the 'big, beautiful bill' will end up on President Trump's desk by July 4th, and welcomes U.S. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche to break down major Supreme Court decisions recently made in Washington.

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is an effective framework for creating flexible learning environments by designing learning experiences that give students choices in how they learn, what materials they use, and how they show their understanding. But can this framework be applied beyond the classroom as an engaging and innovative approach to solving enduring challenges within systems? WestEd's UDL Lab and "UDL Jams” use the principles of the UDL framework to bring people together in real time to collaboratively solve complex problems.
