Podcast appearances and mentions of lee ann

We are tackling the real, sometimes messy journey of growing. We dive into how a strong community pushes us to be better and how finding the right books and resources can totally change the way we learn. We also have to admit that real growth isn't always easy; it actually requires us to step into uncomfortable situations that cause friction and conflict. Our brains are naturally wired to avoid pain and stay comfortable, but if we just stop growing, we end up sitting back, becoming stagnant, and getting critical of others. Finally, we share how you can use "habit stacking" to build small, everyday routines that help us truly change the way we live.THE SHOW NOTESThanks for being a part of our podcast community!

También habla sobre crianza consciente, adolescencia, comunicación, límites, propósito de vida y la importancia de trabajar en nosotros mismos para convertirnos en los padres que nuestros hijos necesitan.Este episodio no busca decirte cuál es la forma correcta de educar a tus hijos.

Lee Ann comparte esta reflexión en 9 minutos sobre por qué muchas veces las personas no nos dejan simplemente ser como somos. En este episodio corto habla sobre la necesidad que tenemos de controlar cómo otros sienten, reaccionan o viven sus procesos, y cómo muchas veces confundimos ayudar con intentar corregir las emociones de los demás.A veces las personas no necesitan consejos, opiniones o soluciones. Solo necesitan sentirse escuchadas, aceptadas y acompañadas sin juicio. Esta reflexión es una invitación a observar cuánto espacio le damos realmente a otros para sentir y cuánto intentamos moldear sus emociones desde nuestro propio ego, miedo o necesidad de control.✨ Si alguna vez sentiste que nadie te deja sentir las cosas a tu manera, este episodio es para vos.

This episode was recorded before a live audience at our most recent podcast event, hosted by Walnut Creek Foods and Walnut Creek Cheese and Market. Do you ever wonder why we're all constantly asking ourselves if we did "good enough?" In this episode, we tackle the exhausting drive to seek validation and why we let other people control our happiness. Lee Ann shares about competing on Food Network's Guy's Grocery Games, while Matt gets real about the quiet pressure of wondering if you're measuring up as a dad. We break down the science of why our brains overreact to tiny social snubs and why we always overestimate how much people are actually judging us. Tune in for some quick, daily habits to help you silence your inner critic, build real confidence, and finally stop trying to please everyone.THE SHOW NOTES!Thanks for being a part of our podcast community!

Jesus In The Garden - Lee Ann Alexander

Why Most Affiliate Networks Are Built for the Brand, Not the PartnerDorin Boerescu has been in this industry since 2009. He started as an affiliate, bought a network that was turning over next to nothing, and has since facilitated more than 828 million euros in GMV. But the number that matters most to him is not the revenue figure. It is the question nobody asked when they built every traditional network before his: who actually has the right to decide how the marketing budget gets spent?What followed that question is Business League, a full-transparency affiliate ecosystem built around one metric, the number of sales. No branded traffic allowed. No hidden rankings. No six-month approval chains. Just a live leaderboard, gamified performance tiers, and a platform that treats affiliates like the traders they actually are.Lee-Ann sat down with Dorin to find out how a concept born in Romania is now live in Ireland, why complete transparency makes programs stronger rather than more vulnerable, and what happens when you build an affiliate network from the affiliate's point of view rather than the advertiser's.Talking Points IncludeWhy affiliates are traders, not content creators and why the best performers in Business League have never read a Kotler textbookThe leaderboard that embarrassed a client who thought he was number one and why seeing the real ranking changed how he ran his program from that day forwardFull transparency as a fraud deterrent and why making all data visible to everyone keeps bad actors out and drives up quality across the entire ecosystemHow gamification goes beyond commission from speed contests to conversion rate competitions, and why affiliates compete even when the prize money is only 25 eurosThe case against budget caps in performance marketing and why capping spend in a cost-per-sale model is one of the most counterproductive things a brand can doListen to Find Out More AboutHow Dorin went from selling his agency shares in 2009 to building a network that outperforms traditional media channels on ROASWhy Business League launched in Ireland first, what he found when he got there, and which market is nextHow a branded traffic ban is enforced technically and what happens to affiliates who try to get around itThe five performance tiers from freelancer to unicorn and what it actually takes to move between themWhy Dorin would have dinner with Jeff Bezos and what Amazon's affiliate program did for this entire industryWhat an ROAS of 11.9 from non-branded traffic looks like in practice across 900 e-shops and 5,700 affiliatesKey Segments and Where to Tune In[10:25] The Business League model explained: Premier League for marketing, 28-day rounds, five tiers, and why the only metric that matters is the number of sales[19:10] Full transparency as a competitive moat: why showing everyone the data keeps fraud out, makes brands better, and builds genuine respect between partners at different levels[24:30] Gamification in depth: the First 100 speed contest, conversion rate competitions, and why Dorin used the same system on his kids to get them to brush their teeth[33:20] Rapid fire round: affiliate marketing in three words, the one thing e-commerce brands get wrong when they launch a program, and who Dorin would have dinner withSend me a text with your questions

What happens when the biggest threat to your publishing business is also buried inside the data you're not looking at? Jorge Barbosa of wecantrack, joins Lee-Ann to talk about what is actually happening to publishers right now, why most of them are flying blind without realising it, and what the ones who are thriving are doing differently. The conversation covers HCU updates, AI overviews cannibalising traffic, the overlooked relationship between affiliate managers and publishers, and why EPC broken down by traffic source might be the most important number in your business that you're not tracking.Talking Points Include:The visibility gap most publishers don't know they have and why logging into your affiliate network reports is not the same as understanding your businessHow one publisher shifted from 80 percent organic to 80 percent paid traffic over four years and grew overall revenue in the processWhy AI overviews are changing the user journey in ways that affect affiliate managers just as much as publishers and what you should be doing about it depending on who your audience actually isThe case for affiliate managers paying for their top publishers' tracking tools and the commercial intelligence that comes back in returnListen to Find Out More About:Why EPC by traffic source and landing page is the one metric Jorge always leads with in demos, and what it reveals that network reports never willHow big publishers use automated link testing and monetisation scripts to protect revenue at scale without adding headcountThe LLM tracking feature wecantrack is building that measures how often an AI model is crawling your content, not just mentioning itWhy affiliate marketing as a side hustle is the myth that drives Jorge mad, and what the industry actually looks like when you pull back the lensWhat the successful publisher looks like in 2027, in one sentenceWhy publishers building a brand rather than just a website is the single most important strategic shift happening in the industry right nowKey Segments of This Podcast and Where You Can Tune In to Go Direct:[02:00] The pain points publishers are dealing with right now: HCU losses, AI overview traffic cannibalisation, and why most are still guessing about where their revenue comes from[06:50] A live demo reality check: the publisher who thought YouTube was irrelevant until the data showed it was their best-converting channel[22:08] Pivot or die: real examples of publishers who lost eighty percent of organic revenue and rebuilt stronger by acting on what the data told them[28:00] The rapid fire round: the one metric everyone should track, the best and worst things to happen to publishers in two years, and what 2027 looks like for the publishers who make itCall to ActionA big thank you to Jorge for being so generous with what he's seen on the ground.

Grab a frothy coffee and pull up a chair as we chat about big picture parenting. We're leaning into the idea that childhood is just the prologue, focusing on how we can move from "authority" to "influence" by giving our kids the autonomy they need to grow. By creating non-judgmental spaces and forging bonds that actually stick, we're laying a foundation today for a true friendship with the adults they are becoming. It's all about being intentional in the messy, ordinary rhythms of life so that the door stays wide open for a lifetime. After all, building these forever-connections is exactly why these are the good days.THE SHOW NOTESThanks for being a part of our podcast community!

What happens when your affiliate publisher is a sleep-deprived new mum with 45,000 verified users, a Dragon's Den deal, and strong opinions about how brands treat people? You listen.Olivia Davson is the co-founder of Cubbi, the UK's first discount platform built specifically for verified new and expecting parents. She launched it eight weeks after having her first child, built the first version of the app with her sister who had zero coding experience, onboarded over 30 brands before launch, and pitched her business live on BBC's Dragon's Den at nine months pregnant. She walked out with a 50,000 pound investment.In this episode, Lee-Ann talks with Olivia about what it actually feels like to enter the affiliate industry as a new publisher, why most affiliate managers missed the opportunity she represented early on, and what brands who did show up early gained because of it. The conversation covers the mechanics of Cubbi's verification model, why the parent demographic is unlike any other in consumer marketing, and what the affiliate channel still gets wrong about the publisher relationship.Talking Points Include:What Cubbi actually is and why the parent lifecycle is a marketer's playbook in a way that student discount platforms are notThe outreach reality nobody talks about: Olivia contacted a thousand brands before launch. Around thirty said yes. What those thirty did differently that made them irreplaceable partnersHow Dragon's Den changed everything overnight, from word-of-mouth pockets across the UK to a nationwide spike in downloads and credibility that no paid campaign could have boughtWhy Olivia screens every inbound brand enquiry personally and the red lines that will get a brand turned away regardless of budgetListen to Find Out More About:The exact moment Olivia decided Cubbi needed to exist, standing at a coffee shop counter on maternity pay and doing the mental arithmeticWhat brands Olivia singles out as genuinely getting the parent audience right, and what they are doing that others are notHow Matthew from Cashblack supported Olivia at the moment she was closest to walking away, and why that kind of peer support matters more than people admitThe expansion plan for Cubbi, what comes after nailing the UK, and which markets are already asking when they are nextWhy not everyone needs to understand what you are building, and how that mindset shift changes how you show up as a founderWhat the Dragon's Den investment from Susie Ma has meant practically for the business beyond the headline numberKey Segments of This Podcast and Where You Can Tune In to Go Direct:[07:25] The scrappy startup reality: a thousand outreach messages, thirty brand partners, and what the ones who said yes understood that the others missed[13:00] How Cubbi verifies users, why the verification model matters to brands, and the difference between targeted reach and spray-and-pray traffic[15:37] Dragon's Den: why Olivia went on the show at nine months pregnant, what happened when the episode aired, and what a nationwide audience spike looks like on a growth map[19:00] What the industry gets wrong about new publishers and why the affiliate channel is more transactional than it needs to beCall to ActionA big thank you to Olivia for sharing her story so openly.

We're looking at how Jennifer Hudson lost American Idol in 7th place and then turned around and won an Oscar. It's the ultimate proof that hearing a "no" is usually just a detour, not the end of the road. Success is never a straight line, and sometimes those big setbacks are just clearing the path for something much better. We're digging into why losing the match doesn't mean you've lost the game and how to totally redefine what "winning" actually means. If you're feeling stuck in 7th place, come see why your biggest "fail" might be your best move yet.THE SHOW NOTESThanks for being a part of our podcast community!

The stillness of a warm September morning in the South was broken by something that didn't belong: a bright red Jeep, abandoned and half-submerged in the murky edge of a quiet creek. Not far from it, drifting in the same dark water, was a young mother of two. What should have been a peaceful start to the day instead became the beginning of a mystery as clouded as the water itself.For the detectives called to the scene, nothing about this case came easily. The deeper they looked, the more the details seemed to twist. Unanswered questions, unsettling circumstances, and relationships that were far more complicated than they first appeared. But as the truth slowly surfaced, it revealed something far more disturbing than anyone had been prepared to face.SponsorsVisit Rula.com/tcc  to get affordable, high-quality therapy that's actually covered by insuranceSources:https://www.newspapers.com/image/244437525/?match=1&terms=18%20years%20later%3A%20What%20to%20know%20about%20Lee%20Ann%20Mangrum%27s%20killinghttps://www.newspapers.com/image/276089133/?match=1&terms=%20Lee%20Ann%20Mangrumhttps://www.tncourts.gov/press/2013/03/27/supreme-court-affirms-convictions-upon-finding-no-prosecutorial-misconducthttps://law.justia.com/cases/tennessee/court-of-criminal-appeals/2011/m2009-01810-cca-r3-cd.htmlSnapped Season 24, Episode 25

The rules of discovery are being rewritten in real time. Here is what affiliate managers need to understand before the market moves on without them.If you have been half-listening to conversations about AI search and hoping it will settle down before you have to do anything about it, this episode is your wake-up call. Reza Moaiandin, co-founder of SALT.agency, has spent 25 years watching the internet evolve from static HTML to generative AI. He joins Lee-Ann to cut through the noise on SEO, AEO and GEO, explain what the data from his clients is actually showing about shifting user behaviour, and give affiliate managers a clear-headed diagnostic for where to focus right now.Talking Points Include:Why SEO, AEO and GEO are not three separate disciplines -- and the crucial distinction between winning the click, being in the answer, and being part of the answer that every affiliate manager needs to understand right noThe 20% tipping point that changes everything -- Reza's research tracks the mass adoption rate of generative AI globally, and his data suggests the hockey stick moment is closer than most people thinkThe collapsing customer funnel -- how discovery, comparison, evaluation and shortlisting are now happening inside a single AI interaction, and what that means for the partner segmentation models affiliate programs still rely onListen to Find Out More About:Why Reza refuses to use keyword difficulty as a meaningful metric, and the specific example of a tiny B2B company that outranked international businesses for a keyword rated 99 out of 100The hidden technical trick using Cloudflare and server logs that lets you see which of your pages AI platforms are actually pulling, and what that tells you about how your affiliates' content is being usedWhy ChatGPT and Claude give different answers when Reza is asked to pick a favourite, and which one he recommends for affiliate managers specificallyHow the user journey is being compressed so that discovery, comparison and purchase intent are collapsing into a single AI interaction before a user even reaches your websiteThe generational behaviour shift Reza is tracking using his father and his teenage nephew as a real-world test of when mass adoption has genuinely arrivedKey Segments of This Podcast and Where You Can Tune In to Go Direct:[05:06] Reza breaks down the difference between SEO, AEO and GEO in plain language, and explains why confusing them leads affiliate managers to make the wrong budget decisions[11:00] How the traditional customer funnel is collapsing inside a single AI interaction, illustrated with the running shoe example that makes the shift impossible to ignore[20:40] The diagnostic Reza would run on any affiliate program today: where to start, what to fix first, and why fixing AEO and GEO before your SEO foundations are solid is a waste of time and budget[24:44] The server log technique that tells you exactly which pages AI platforms are pulling from your site and your affiliates' content, and why most affiliate managers are not looking at this dataCall to ActionA big thank you to Reza for sharing his research and his thinking so generously.

The diagnostic framework that 20 years of affiliate program management built - and why most programs are not broken, just badly diagnosed.If your affiliate program is underperforming and you are not sure where to start, this episode will change how you think about the problem. No guest, no interview, just Lee-Ann, her two decades of affiliate marketing experience across e-commerce, SaaS, B2B, retail and iGaming, and the step-by-step framework she uses with clients to diagnose exactly what is wrong and what to fix first. This is one of those episodes you will want to listen to with a document open and a pen in hand.Talking Points Include:Why fixing everything at once is the fastest way to fix nothing -- the triage mindset borrowed from medicine that stops affiliate managers from burning through resources on the wrong problems at the wrong timeThe five vital signs of an affiliate program and how to read them -- from active partner rate to communication cadence, the diagnostic checks that give you a clear picture of program health before you touch a single commission rateThe four root causes behind almost every underperforming affiliate program -- and why each one requires a completely different prescriptionListen to Find Out More About:The efficiency logic behind why one focused priority per month beats a 20-point action plan every timeHow to use conversion rate by partner type to spot traffic that looks good on paper but is costing you moneyThe void and reversal rate threshold that signals something is seriously wrong with either traffic quality or your returns processWhy tracking problems are the silent killer of affiliate programs, and the one test you should run this week if you cannot remember when you last did itThe three honest truths Lee-Ann shares at the end of the episode that rarely get said out loud in affiliate marketingKey Segments of This Podcast and Where You Can Tune In to Go Direct:[01:00] Why most underperforming affiliate programs are not broken, just badly diagnosed, and the triage mindset that changes how you approach a fix[04:14] The five vital signs of affiliate program health and how to read each one using data you already have access to[13:25] The four root causes behind underperformance and the specific prescription for each one[18:08] How to build a triage action plan using the one priority, one metric, four weeks rule[21:49] The three hard truths about affiliate programs that do not get said often enough, and what acting on them actually looks likeCall to ActionIf this episode gave you a clearer picture of what is holding your program back, the next step is making sure you have the right support around you.

We are diving into the recent Cracker Barrel controversy and how perspective shifted after talking to a server on the front lines. It was a powerful reminder that we rarely see the full picture at face value, and there is almost always more to the story than a headline suggests. We challenge the habit of instant judgment, asking how our world might change if we led with grace instead of assumptions. What if we admitted we don't know the whole truth? By holding space for the unknown, we can fundamentally transform how we treat and love the people right in front of us.THE SHOW NOTESThanks for being a part of our podcast community!

The coaching framework that helps affiliate managers navigate commercial conflict, set boundaries, and lead with confidence even when the conversation gets uncomfortable.If you have ever walked into a partner meeting already dreading it, or sent a reactive email on a Friday evening and regretted it by Sunday, this episode is for you. Tara Alvarez Garcia, performance and leadership coach with over 15 years in marketing and commercial roles, joins Lee-Ann to break down why difficult conversations go wrong, and what you can do differently before you even open your mouth. From handling underperforming affiliates to managing burnout in a permanently switched-on industry, this is the practical coaching session affiliate managers rarely get.Talking Points Include:The one mindset shift that changes every difficult conversation -- why reframing from "you versus the problem" to "we versus the problem" transforms the tone before anyone has said a word, and how proper preparation makes difficult meetings far less dauntingWhy being always on is not a strength, it is a liability -- how the pressure to respond instantly to Slack, WhatsApp, and emails is quietly eroding performance, and the practical techniques Tara uses with senior leaders to reclaim thinking spaceThe difference between managing and leading in affiliate marketing -- using the engine and the driver analogy, Tara and Lee-Ann unpack why technical competency gets you to manager level but an entirely different skill set is required to lead a team or a partner program effectivelyListen to Find Out More About:Why Tara recommends using AI tools like ChatGPT to role-play difficult conversations before they happen, and exactly how to prompt it to push back on youThe three practical leadership principles Tara leaves listeners with, and why they apply at every level of the industryWhat Tara does when a coaching client comes to her already at rock bottom, and why she gets better results from the ones who arrive before the crisis hitsThe special offer Tara has put together exclusively for listeners of this episode, and the link where you can claim itWhy the affiliate manager skills most at risk from AI are not the ones people think, and which human capabilities are genuinely irreplaceableKey Segments of This Podcast and Where You Can Tune In to Go Direct:[02:45] The managing versus leading distinction explained: the engine gets the car moving, but who decides where it goes?[06:25] How to enter a difficult commercial conversation prepared, collaborative, and clear on the outcome you actually want[08:40] What to do when the conversation heats up: the case for controlled silence and slowing down before reacting[13:00] Why thinking time is not a luxury in a leadership role, it is the job, and how to carve it out in a reactive industry[18:30] Tara's blueprint for handling any difficult conversation, walked through step by stepCall to ActionThanks to Tara Alvarez Garcia for such a grounded and genuinely practical episode.

In this episode, we're breaking down why your mindset is the ultimate predictor of success and how to stop letting your brain "predict" your future based on past baggage. We explore how to consciously disrupt those old mental patterns and why the people you surround yourself with are the biggest influencers of your results.

From Casino Dealer to iGaming Exit: What Hustle Actually Looks LikeYou've heard people credit their success to luck. Karolina Pelc doesn't buy it. The founder of BeyondPlay, who built and sold her gaming software startup to FanDuel in 2024, traces every "fortunate" moment back to a decision, a risk, or a leap taken before she felt ready. In this episode, she joins Lee-Ann to talk about building a business in a male-dominated industry, the lessons that only come from failing, and her new book Her Play, which challenges the narrative that success is something that happens to you.About Karolina PelcKarolina Pelc has spent over 20 years in gaming, starting as a casino dealer in Poland before working at London's most prestigious clubs and spending three years on cruise ships. She moved into online gaming as it was emerging, held roles across marketing, product, and business management, and was part of the LeoVegas team during its most exciting growth phase. She went on to found BeyondPlay, a software-as-a-service company specialising in multiplayer and jackpot products, which was acquired by FanDuel in February 2024. She now mentors early-stage founders and has channelled her journey into her debut book, Her Play, which publishes on 9 June in the UK & Europe and on 8th September in the USA & Canada.Talking Points Include:Why luck is a byproduct of motion, not a personality trait — the phrase at the heart of Her Play, and why Karolina developed it in response to a question she kept getting asked after the saleWhat a cruise ship taught her about multiplayer gaming — and why the product idea she eventually built and sold wasn't random at allThe three moments she knew she had outgrown the room — from leaving a cruise ship job without a plan, to founding a startup in a 43-square-metre apartment during COVID lockdownHow failure compounds into advantage — why the jackpot product that got BeyondPlay acquired only existed because the original product wasn't getting traction fast enoughBuilding confidence in a male-dominated industry — Karolina's honest take on gender dynamics in gaming and the startup investment world, and why she sees her experience as a superpower rather than a disadvantageListen to Find Out More About:What Karolina actually took away from her two visits to Necker Island, and how the experience shaped the book and her decision to mentor foundersHow she navigated the identity crisis that came after selling BeyondPlay, and what helped her work out what she wanted to do nextThe specific moment during COVID that convinced her to found the company rather than take a permanent job, despite every rational signal pointing the other wayWhy she believes your past experience is never a liability, and how that thinking connects directly to what affiliate managers do every dayThe five key takeaways Lee-Ann pulls from the conversation — including a fifth one Karolina adds herself, live on micKey Segments of This Podcast and Where You Can Tune In to Go Direct:[01:38] Karolina's introduction and the story behind HerPlay — from land-based casino dealer to iGaming exec to founder[05:37] "Luck is a byproduct of motion" — where the phrase came from and what it actually means in practice[18:15] The three defining leaps in Karolina's career, and what finally made her take each one[25:00] Necker Island, Richard Branson, and the full-circle moment that launched the book[32:00] Lee-Ann's four-point summary — and Karolina's fifth, which might be the best of allSend me a text with your questions

This week on These Are Good Days, Lee Ann and Matt are diving into why we're so obsessed with getting it "right" at the expense of being real. We often treat perfectionism like a suit of armor to dodge criticism or keep anxiety at bay, but in reality, it just shields us from the actual connection and vulnerability we're wired for. We're busting the myth that "perfect" people win at life and exploring how showing up as your messy, authentic self is actually the fastest way to get ahead in your relationships. It's time to stop curating the moment and start actually living in it—because the best days aren't the perfect ones; they're the ones where you actually show up.THE SHOW NOTESThanks for being a part of our podcast community!

Lee-Ann revisits every guest from Season 24 and draws out the thread that ran through every conversation: affiliate marketing is not evolving slowly anymore. It's shifting in real time, and the programs that are built on old assumptions are already falling behind.Talking Points Include:What our guests collectively confirmed -- the season's guests came from different corners of the industry, but they all arrived at the same conclusionWhy last-click attribution was already broken before AI made it worse -- the season built a steady, cumulative case against over-reliance on a single measurement model, and this episode pulls that argument togetherThe themes that surfaced again and again across eleven episodes -- zero-click search, compliance as a growth lever, open attribution, human relationships in an automated world, and what it really means to diversify a program in 2026Listen to Find Out More About:Why Lee-Ann opens the wrap-up by referencing what the season opener promised, and whether the season actually delivered on itWhat Jon Ostler called "the great affiliate bypass" and why the structural shift he described is only going to accelerate from hereStuart Miles's central lesson about low-friction partnerships and why it applies far beyond the tech and gadget publishing world he comes fromThe moment in Lauryn Day's episode where the conversation about creator content and AI changes in search made clear that this is no longer a future concernWhat Lee-Ann says she's taking into the next season, and the note of genuine optimism underneath a very clear-eyed summary of how much pressure the industry is underKey Segments of This Podcast and Where You Can Tune In to Go Direct:[02:27] Ishtvan Torpoi revisited: the mega lag controversy and why disciplined monitoring beats partner volume every time[06:20] Jon Ostler's great affiliate bypass: AI citations, publisher investment, and the attribution gap that last click can't explain[18:47] Adam Ross on invisible revenue: how AWIN's Conversion Protection Initiative recovered $250 million in previously untracked value[28:56] Alex Springer on open attribution: why collaboration across networks, publishers, and brands is now happening for the first time[33:49] Lee-Ann's season close: what the industry learned, what still needs to change, and what Season 25 is already being built aroundStay Ahead with AffiverseIf Season 24 raised questions about how your program is structured for what's coming, the Affiverse newsletter is where Lee-Ann continues the conversation between seasons.

The E-Commerce Brand's Guide to Unified Performance Marketing in 2026If your affiliate and influencer teams are still working in separate silos with separate budgets and separate tools, this episode will challenge everything about how you've structured your program. Lauryn Day, Director of Agency Partnerships at Levanta, joins Lee-Ann to explain why the lines between affiliate and creator marketing have blurred beyond the point of separate strategies, what a unified approach actually looks like in practice, and why the brands thriving right now are the ones that have stopped treating these two channels as competitors for budget.This is a practical, no-nonsense conversation about how modern e-commerce brands are scaling creator and affiliate programs across Amazon, Shopify, and Walmart, and what the data tells us about where discovery and conversion are actually happening in 2026.About Lauryn DayLauryn Day is Director of Agency Partnerships at Levanta, the leading affiliate marketing software for marketplace sellers. Having started her career on the brand side before moving into tech, she brings a practical, dual-perspective view to creator and affiliate strategy that is rare in this space.Talking Points Include:Why most affiliate infrastructure was built more than 20 years ago and no longer reflects how brands actually operate, and what a modern platform built for today's e-commerce reality looks likeHow Levanta's one-click integration with Amazon, Shopify, and Walmart collapses what used to be a multi-tool, multi-spreadsheet operation into a single five-minute setupWhat AI is actually doing to the shopper journey, and why the data shows less than 10% of consumers who use AI for product research convert through itThe product sampling tool that replaced a spreadsheet-and-email nightmare and why brands are calling it one of the most immediately impactful features they've adoptedHow creator content is now serving two parts of the buying funnel at once: driving direct discovery and feeding the LLM recommendations that consumers use to shortlist productsThe real cost of over-indexing on bottom-funnel partners like coupon and loyalty sites, and how to build a program that serves the full funnelKey Segments of This Podcast and Where You Can Tune In to Go Direct:[01:46] What Levanta is, how it was built, and why most affiliate infrastructure was already out of date before the creator economy arrived[10:24] How consolidating creator and affiliate data into one platform changes the quality of decisions brands can make, with real client context[22:12] Why treating creator and affiliate as separate strategies is the most common and most costly mistake Lauryn sees, and how to fix it[26:30] Lauryn's three actionable tips for brands getting their programs ready for 2026:Consolidate your tech stack. Unify your creator, affiliate, and marketplace channels under one program so your team can focus on strategy rather than administration.Invest in top-of-funnel creator content. UGC builds brand trust, drives direct discovery, and increasingly feeds the AI recommendations consumers use to shortlist products.Stay nimble and test often. Whether it's trialling higher commissions for specific creators, experimenting with a hybrid compensation model, or testing a new content format, run short tests, look at the data, and be willing to pivot quickly.A huge thank you to Lauryn Day for joining us and sharing her insights on where creator and affiliate marketing is heading.

In this episode, we're tackling the boredom blues by asking if having nothing to do is actually a secret weapon. We've all heard that "only boring people get bored," but we're digging into whether there's a deeper gift hidden in the quiet. We dive into what's really happening in our brains when we hit a slump and why we think "peace" might not actually be the ultimate finish line. We'll show you how we trade the doomscroll for a real sense of purpose that reaches beyond ourselves. It's time to stop waiting for the fun to start and realize these are the good days—even the quiet ones.THE SHOW NOTESThanks for being a part of our podcast community!
