In this explosive episode of The Long Form Podcast, I sit down with Ukrainian journalist and political commentator Peter Zalmayev, Director of the Eurasia Democracy Initiative, to unpack the Russia-Ukraine war — from its origins to its global consequences. We discuss what drives Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky, the daily reality of Ukrainian civilians under bombardment, and the dangerous uncertainty of relying on the United States under Donald Trump. What does Ukraine's war mean for Africa, Rwanda, East Africa, and the Global South? And what lessons should African nations learn from Europe's tragedy? This is a conversation about war, democracy, leadership, and survival in the 21st century.Listen to the Long Form with Sanny Ntayombya podcast on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/rw/podcast/the-long-form-with-sanny-ntayombya/id1669879621Listen to the Long Form with Sanny Ntayombya podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7HkkUi4bUyIeYktQhWOljcFollow Long Form with Sanny Ntayombya on Twitter: https://x.com/TheLongFormRwFollow Long Form with Sanny Ntayombya on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelongformrw/Follow Long Form with Sanny Ntayombya on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@longformrwFollow Sanny Ntayombya on Twitter: https://x.com/SannyNtayombya About Long Form with Sanny Ntayombya:The Long Form with Sanny Ntayombya is a weekly podcast intent on keeping you up to date with current affairs in Rwanda.

In Rwanda today, girls are completing school at higher rates than boys, yet young men make up over 85% of prisoners and more than 60% of drug-related arrests. Why are boys being left behind — and what does it mean for Rwanda's future? In this live-recorded episode of The Long Form, I sit with Alain Numa — a former RPF liberation fighter, Pastor, and founder of Boys to Men, an initiative mentoring teenage boys into responsible men. We discuss Rwandan manhood, masculinity, trauma, fatherhood, and the urgent need to rethink how we raise boys. Is Rwanda at risk of creating a generation of broken men — or can we fix the “boy problem”?This conversation dives deep into gender, mental health, education, men's rights, and the future of masculinity in Africa, with lessons that go far beyond Rwanda.Waka Fitness: Go to https://waka.fitbase.rw/thelongform and get 20% off your gym membership.

In a world full of polished content, authenticity is what truly cuts through.That's the secret behind Armchair Expert, the wildly popular podcast from Dax Shepard that mixes candid conversation with crowd-sourced chaos. In this episode, we unpack the marketing insights behind it with special guest Derek Weeks, Chief Marketing Officer at Katalon.Together, we explore what B2B marketers can learn from building real connections, inviting community participation, and letting go of perfection to create content people genuinely trust and engage with.About our guest, Derek WeeksDerek Weeks is the Chief Marketing Officer at Katalon. He is a driven, results-oriented CMO with a proven ability to achieve multiple successful exits, build and execute bold go-to-market strategies for each stage of business growth, and demonstrate solid returns on marketing investments. Accomplished at building high-performing teams, driving quality marketing-sourced pipeline, developing massive communities, and collaborating with sales teams to meet business targets.What B2B Companies Can Learn From the Armchair Expert Podcast:Vulnerability builds trust and attention. Derek Weeks emphasizes that Armchair Expert's standout quality is its authentic vulnerability, which creates a powerful emotional connection with listeners. He explains, “It's really about being human… It builds an emotional connection with your brand.” Derek draws a parallel to B2B marketing, highlighting that it's crucial to showcase real people behind the brand to forge trust.Mix long-form and short-form content strategically. Armchair Expert masterfully balances 90-minute conversations with short, snackable segments like Armchair Anonymous. Derek believes this dual-format approach is essential for B2B marketing: “That kind of mix of long and short is something that you have to play into as a marketer and realize your audience expects different things at different times.” He stresses that marketers must go deep when it matters, but also repurpose content aggressively to cater to varied audience behaviors, especially across platforms like TikTok.Empower community-generated content. Derek praises Armchair Expert for its use of community-driven content through Armchair Anonymous, where listeners share personal stories weekly. He says, “They really don't have to spend time creating content at all… believe in your community and the value that they create.” B2B marketers should harness their user-generated content to scale content creation far beyond the limits of a marketing budget.Quotes“ You have to think about what draws people to the next.  What did you do in that moment that got people to say, ‘This is worth following or paying attention to or coming back again?'  Figure out what's going to make people come back, not what makes people appear the first time.  The first time is kind of an easy win. The second time, or third time, or 10th time is the hard part.”Time Stamps[00:55]  Meet Derek Weeks, CMO at Katalon[01:23]  Why Armchair Expert?[03:01] Vulnerability and Trust in B2B[08:58]  Don't Build Campaigns, Build Conversations[13:37] The Long-Form to Short-Form Pipeline[19:05] Unfair Mindshare[21:47] What Armchair Expert Gets Right[24:01] Practical Ways to Bring Personality into B2B[27:38] Final Thoughts & TakeawaysLinksConnect with Derek on LinkedInLearn more about KatalonAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

https://verhandlungs-bootcamp.com/verhandeln-mentoring-anmeldungNeukunden auf Autopilot? Diese 3 Quellen funktionieren wirklichViele Selbständige und Unternehmer:innen hoffen auf den einen magischen Post, der viral geht – und Kunden bringt. Die Wahrheit? Kundengewinnung ist kein Zufall, sondern ein System. In dieser Folge zeige ich dir die drei besten Quellen, mit denen unsere Mentees planbar neue Kunden anziehen – und wie du das auch schaffst. Ohne jeden Tag zu posten oder dich zu verbiegen.In dieser Folge erfährst du:1. Warum du mehr Touchpoints brauchst als je zuvorFrüher reichten 2–3 Kontakte zum Kunden – heute sind es im Schnitt 8 bis 15 Touchpoints, bis jemand kauft. Kundengewinnung ist ein Prozess, keine spontane Entscheidung.2. Quelle #1: Longform-Content (z. B. Podcast, Newsletter, YouTube)Longform-Content schafft Vertrauen, Tiefe und Positionierung. Du wirst als Expert:in wahrgenommen – nicht als Verkäufer:in.3. Quelle #2: Shortform-Content (z. B. Reels, LinkedIn, TikTok)Sichtbarkeit entsteht durch Wiederholung + Relevanz. Kurze Formate helfen, neue Zielgruppen zu erreichen – gerade bei jüngeren Entscheider:innen.4. Quelle #3: Analoges Marketing / Wow-MarketingEmpfehlung schlägt Algorithmus – immer. Handschriftliche Karten, physische Pakete, gezielte Präsenz auf Events oder 1:1-Aktionen bringen dich emotional in Erinnerung.5. System schlägt Spontanität: So gewinnst du unabhängig von MotivationEin Content- & Sichtbarkeitssystem verhindert, dass du nur postest, wenn du Lust hast. Plane wöchentlich fixe Touchpoints: z. B. 1 Longform, 3 Shortform, 1 persönlicher Kontakt. Ergebnis: Klarheit, Routine und planbarer Zulauf statt Aktionismus.Jetzt ins Verhandlungs-Mentoring startenDu willst nicht länger auf Zufallskunden hoffen, sondern gezielt neue Anfragen gewinnen? Dann sichere dir jetzt deinen Platz im Verhandlungs-Mentoring:

00:00 – Check Your Data FirstIf your content isn't working, don't start guessing—start with the numbers. Data reflects human behavior.00:34 – Where to Check Your InsightsReview analytics on platforms like Spotify, iTunes, YouTube, and your hosting platform. But the key isn't just looking—it's interpreting.01:12 – Don't Decide in IsolationA single video or post underperforming doesn't always mean failure. Variables like title, thumbnail, hook, and intro all play a role.03:15 – The Power of a HookThe first 60–90 seconds are critical. Your intro should represent your episode's promise and capture attention quickly.04:17 – Study What WorksLook at patterns from creators in your niche. Don't copy—observe how they structure and tell stories.05:27 – Titles, Thumbnails, and Brand AuthorityHook, title, and even your name affect discoverability. Strong brand authority increases visibility and trust.06:39 – Long-Form vs. Short-Form TestingSocial media allows rapid testing; long-form (like podcasts) takes more time to gather data. Plan accordingly.08:44 – Analyze on a 90-Day WindowTrends shift. 90 days gives enough time to collect meaningful data and adjust quarterly strategies.10:00 – When You Don't Know What to Do NextGo back to your data. It's your best reference point. If interpretation is hard, get support.11:04 – A/B Testing with TubeBuddyTry different titles/thumbnails. But again, it should align with your core message and your audience's behavior.12:18 – Strategy Over SpaghettiPosting consistently is not enough. Know who you're talking to and test intentionally to refine your strategy.13:18 – Don't Get Burned Out by ExpectationsNot all content will perform. Publish, gather data, and iterate. That's how you find your sweet spot.14:32 – Competitor vs. Inspiration AnalysisUse similar creators to map out what's working—but come from a place of inspiration, not comparison.15:31 – You Might Already Have Warm LeadsStop only chasing new followers. You may already have people primed to buy—you just need the right nudge.18:10 – Different Strategies for Different LeadsNew leads vs. warm leads require different types of content. Know where your audience stands.19:20 – Platform Insights Are GoldUse Instagram and YouTube data to learn your audience's age, activity times, and location.21:01 – You Don't Need Virality to WinGoing viral feels good, but it's not the only strategy. Quiet, sustainable growth > (is greater than) chasing numbers.23:14 – Quality Over QuantityFocus on meaningful conversions over vanity metrics. Build from solid foundations, not just high views.23:35 – Need Help? Reach OutEmail kai@whatkai.com with the subject line “Podcast Analytics” to get support on interpreting your data.23:55 – Let the Content Work for YouYou don't have to hustle endlessly. When your strategy is clear, your content can start doing the heavy lifting.

This week on The Long Form, I speak with Damien Vassallo, the Head of School and CEO of Ntare Louisenlund International School, one of Rwanda's most elite and forward-thinking institutions. From his journey as an American educator to his role shaping education in Bugesera, Rwanda we explore the stark realities of academic inequality, the challenges of transitioning students from local schools, and the high cost of quality education in a low-income country.We also tackle Rwanda's education reforms, the mindsets educators are trying to shift — and why some teachers are terrified of AI in the classroom.This is a conversation about power, privilege, pedagogy, and the future of learning in Africa.Paid partnership with: Waka Fitness: Go to https://waka.fitbase.rw/thelongform and get 20% off your gym membership.

Send us a textThis week's episode was inspired by a DM that slid into my inbox: “Is long-form content still important?” And look, I get it. The internet is full of opinions — and half of them contradict each other.Once upon a time, we were all told to write 1,500-word blogs stuffed with keywords like it was our full-time job. Now? It's all TikToks, AI, and short-form everything. So… do we just throw the blog out with the bathwater?Spoiler: it's not that simple. (Of course it's not.)In this episode, I'm breaking down:Why long-form still matters (but not for everyone)The history of long-form content and SEOWhy there's no one-size-fits-all strategy Why letting ChatGPT write your blogs might be tanking your brand How to figure out if it's right for your business & Alternatives if writing blogs isn't your thing Why video isn't automatically “king” (don't hate me) How to repurpose long-form so it's actually useful in a multi-channel strategyBalancing your own strengths with what your business actually needsThe value of working with an SEO expert before making big decisionsPlus - the truth about “multi-channel strategy” and why you don't need to be everywhere, all the time, doing all the things.Whether you love writing or would rather eat your laptop than draft another blog post or long email, this episode will help you figure out how to show up in a way that actually works for you.Have a listen and let's stop following cookie-cutter advice that wasn't built for your business in the first place.One Key Takeaway Your content strategy should be based on your goals, your industry, and how you like to show up. Long-form isn't dead - it just needs to make sense for you.DOWNLOAD MY CONTENT PLANNER - https://becchappell.com.au/content-planner/Instagram @bec_chappellLinkedIn – Bec Chappell If you're ready to work together, I'm ready to work with you and your team.How to work with me:1.

This week on The Long Form, I sit down with Dr. Lassina Zerbo — former Prime Minister of Burkina Faso and current Chairman of the Rwanda Atomic Energy Board. In this high-stakes conversation, we explore why Dr. Zerbo believes that Africa's development depends on nuclear energy — and why Rwanda is betting big on atomic power.We also discuss his brief but historic tenure as PM, the legacy of Thomas Sankara, the geopolitical risk of nuclear conflict, and the role of African innovation in the global energy transition.From coups in Burkina Faso to Kigali's nuclear future — this is one of our most urgent conversations yet.Paid partnership with: Waka Fitness: Go to https://waka.fitbase.rw/thelongform and get 20% off your gym membership.

Long-form guides or interactive calculators? Zak Ali from Finder weighs in on resource allocation for personal finance sites. Interactive calculators emerge as the clear winner, offering users immediate value through manipulable interfaces rather than passive reading experiences. Ali emphasizes that calculators better match user intent, allow for personalization, and can still incorporate supporting content while avoiding the pitfalls of creating extensive guides that users typically scan rather than read thoroughly.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Initially conceived as "one jet to rule them all," this fifth-generation fighter was meant to revolutionize warfare by replacing dozens of legacy aircraft across multiple branches and allied nations.Twenty years and $1.7 trillion later, the Lightning has emerged as both triumph and cautionary tale. Behind its sleek exterior lies an unprecedented combination of stealth, sensor fusion, and networked warfare capabilities. The F-35's distributed aperture system provides pilots with 360-degree situational awareness, while its advanced radar can track 23 targets within 100 miles in under 9 seconds. No wonder pilots who've flown it consistently say they'd never return to fourth-generation fighters.Yet this technological brilliance came at an extraordinary cost—both financial and in terms of public confidence. The program weathered countless delays, software glitches, and congressional hearings that threatened its very existence. Through it all, Lockheed Martin and the Joint Program Office pressed forward, gradually transforming the Lightning from troubled concept to combat reality.Today, with over 900 aircraft delivered to 19 countries and counting, the F-35 has silenced many critics. Finland, Switzerland, Germany and others have selected it in competitive evaluations, while operational squadrons regularly achieve 20:1 kill ratios in exercises. The aircraft continues evolving with Block 4 upgrades and integration with autonomous drone wingmen that promise to multiply its effectiveness.Love it or hate it, the F-35 has redefined modern air power. As tensions rise globally and sixth-generation fighters remain on the distant horizon, this controversial Lightning now stands as the linchpin of Western air defense strategy through 2070 and beyond. The question remains: was this revolutionary fighter worth its astronomical price tag? The answer may depend on whether you're looking at the balance sheet or the battlefield.Support the showTo help support this podcast and become a PilotPhotog ProCast member: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1555784/supportIf you enjoy this episode, subscribe to this podcast, you can find links to most podcast streaming services here: PilotPhotog Podcast (buzzsprout.com) Sign up for the free weekly newsletter Hangar Flyingwith Tog here: https://hangarflyingwithtog.com You can check out my YouTube channel for many videos on fighter planes here: https://youtube.com/c/PilotPhotog If you'd like to support this podcast via Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PilotPhotog And finally, you can follow me on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/pilotphotog

Have we made repentance too easy? We live in an instant world—instant coffee, instant messaging, instant everything. And somewhere in our convenience culture, we've tried to make repentance instant too. Just repeat after me. Quick prayer. Raised hand. Walk an aisle. Done. But here's the thing—that's not what we necessarily see in Scripture. That's not how people respond when they encounter the holiness of God and the weight of their sin. Now someone might say, “What about the thief on the cross?” Good question. Yes, he was saved in his final moments—when he cried, “Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom” (Luke 23:42). But look closer. In those few breaths, he acknowledged his guilt—“we receive the due reward of our deeds” (Luke 23:41). He declared Christ's innocence—“this man hath done nothing amiss” (Luke 23:41). And he placed his faith in Christ's kingdom. That's real repentance. Not rushed. Real. It wasn't about time. It was about the heart. Some people have years and never truly repent. The thief had moments—and did. What I'm calling “long form repentance” isn't about time on a clock. It's about depth. Sincerity. Transformation.
