As Gen Z cements its role as the cultural vanguard and Gen Alpha begins to assert its voice, brands face mounting pressure to not only keep pace but to actively shape youth identity. With social commerce booming and physical retail undergoing reinvention, staying relevant means delivering experiences as dynamic as the customers themselves. One stat alone says it all: after Kendrick Lamar sparked a flare jeans frenzy, American Eagle saw a 125% spike in Google searches and 25% more store traffic in just days.So how does a legacy retailer like American Eagle Outfitters keep its edge with a generation that swipes faster than it shops? And what does it take to not only follow culture—but lead it?On this episode of Retail Refined, host Melissa Gonzalez sits down with Craig Brommers, Chief Marketing Officer at American Eagle, for a deep dive into loyalty, culture, and the art of speaking to multiple generations at once. From TikTok virality to in-store innovation, Craig shares how American Eagle is turning its 50-year playbook into a blueprint for the next era of retail.Key topics of discussion…How American Eagle uses feedback loops—from 35,000 Gen Z store associates to a 2,000-person youth panel—to track trends in real time and adjust marketing and product strategies accordingly.Why the “Lived In” store concept is the most successful in American Eagle's 48-year history, blending elevated design with community-driven experiences to drive conversion and loyalty.The launch of the “Live Your Life” affiliate program, a bid to transform creators into digital store associates and cement deeper bonds with youth consumers in the social commerce age.Craig Brommers is a seasoned global marketing executive with deep expertise in brand expansion across geographic, digital, and category dimensions. He has led marketing at top retail brands including American Eagle, Gap, Abercrombie & Fitch, Calvin Klein, and Speedo, consistently driving growth through purpose-driven strategies and a strong command of data-informed decision-making. An MBA graduate from UCLA's Anderson School, Craig is known for building high-performing, cross-functional teams and balancing global consistency with local market relevance.

Apparently a true and loyal friend will roast you regularly.

On today's episode of the AllAboutTRH podcast, we break down the explosive drama on RHOA as Shamea invites Ralph to speak on Drew—knowing he'd throw her under the bus. Did anyone think about Drew or her kids? Shamea's loyalty to Porsha ends up making her look foolish, and friendships start to fall apart. We also dive into Shamea's emotional response after the episode, where she reflects on loyalty, love, and what it means to be a real friend—even when it hurts. Sometimes, being “too loyal” comes with a price. We're also talking Mothers Day but skip over to the 8 minute mark if you want to get straight to the recap Sponsor: Eat smart with Factor.

Ep #280: The Loyalty Trap: How Staying Too Long Can Limit Your CareerYou love your job… but is loyalty quietly putting your career at risk? You've been with your company for 5, 10, maybe even 20 years. You've built strong relationships, you're well respected, and you genuinely love the work you do. So why would you even consider looking elsewhere? Here's why—because even when everything feels great, long-term loyalty can quietly limit your options and put your career at risk. If you're not exploring what's possible outside your organization, you might not know your true market value. You could be missing out on higher salaries, bigger leadership roles, and the chance to future-proof your career in case something unexpected happens. And let's be honest—organizations aren't always as loyal to us as we are to them, and when you've been in one place for years, suddenly having to find a new job can feel overwhelming. In this episode, I'm not telling you to leave. I'm showing you how to lift your head up, explore your options, and proactively manage your career—so if you stay, you're doing it from a place of power and choice, not habit or fear.Unlock the missing piece in your leadership development.

Are you tired of chasing customers—and ready to build a brand that creates loyalty, referrals, and lasting impressions?

Dan Battista, CEO and Partner at Factor4, takes us on an journey through the rapidly evolving gift card landscape. With genuine passion and deep industry knowledge, Dan reveals how Factor4 has grown from just 3 employees to 22 staff serving over 21,000 merchants in just a decade.The conversation illuminates Factor4's remarkable approach to customer service – answering emails within 10 minutes and phones within two rings – which has become their true competitive advantage. Unlike competitors owned by large payment processors, Factor4 focuses exclusively on gift and loyalty solutions, allowing them to devote 100% of their investment and attention to perfecting these offerings.Dan walks us through the transformation of gift cards during the pandemic era – from traditional plastic cards to essential digital solutions delivered via email and SMS. What was once a "nice-to-have" became a critical business necessity, pushing Factor4 to develop comprehensive omnichannel capabilities that seamlessly connect online and in-store experiences.Particularly compelling is Dan's insight into loyalty programs as customer relationship management tools. When pandemic restrictions hit, merchants suddenly realized they had no way to communicate with their regular customers about changing hours, outdoor dining, or reopening plans. Factor4's customized loyalty solutions filled this gap, helping businesses build valuable customer databases while driving repeat business.The conversation also explores Factor4's innovative approach to technology, including their development of iOS and Android apps that enable gift card transactions without additional hardware – simply using a smartphone camera to read barcodes. This adaptability has allowed them to integrate with over 50 different POS systems and expand internationally across ten countries.

Send us a textIn this episode of The Sports Marketing Machine, host Jeremy Neisser explores one of the most underrated tools in sports marketing: service recovery. Mistakes at games are bound to happen — a missed giveaway, a ticketing issue, a long concession line — but how your team responds can turn frustration into fierce loyalty.Jeremy shares memorable examples from companies like 1-800-FLOWERS and Disney, illustrating how proactive, empowered customer service can create “wow” moments that stick. You'll walk away with real strategies to help your team not just fix problems, but build fans for life.✅ Key Takeaways:Mistakes are inevitable — recovery is optional. Great brands aren't perfect. They're prepared.Fans remember how you made them feel. Especially when things didn't go right.Your frontline staff is your brand. Empower them with tools, autonomy, and encouragement to turn tough moments into memorable ones.Service recovery is a marketing opportunity. A fan who had a problem and a great resolution will tell more people than one who had a smooth experience.Train for the unexpected. Small gestures in high-stress moments = lifetime loyalty.

You can't be moral on your own. That's a radical idea in this time of moral outrage, but thriving in public life requires a sense of mutual accountability, belonging, and hospitality for each other.Mona Siddiqui is a professor of religion and society, an author, commentator, and public intellectual, and she suggests that the virtues of loyalty, gratitude, hospitality, and hope can lead us through the common struggle of being human together, living forward into a thriving life of public faith and renewed moral imagination.As Professor of Islamic and Interreligious Studies, Assistant Principal for Religion and Society, and Dean international for the Middle-East at the University of Edinburgh, she is an international beacon of hope that we might find restoration, hospitality, and flourishing in our world of struggle. Working through questions of loyalty, responsibility, belonging, gratitude, robust faith, and what we owe each other, we can find abundant resources for thriving and spiritual health.In this conversation with Mona Siddiqui, we discuss:What is a moral life?The connection between faith, spirituality, and living a moral life of responsibility and integrityThe difference between cultivating virtuous character and doing justiceHow to thrive in a pluralistic society marked by constant struggle and conflictThe promise of gratitude and hospitality in a life of thrivingAnd how to pursue a hopeful, forward-looking approach to restoration in the wake of harm, loss, pain, and suffering.Episode Highlights"Our moral life only becomes alive when we are in a relationship—you can't be moral on your own.""Life is all about searching. Life is all about introspection. Life is all about reflection.""The good life is hard; it's not about ease, but about living with accountability and responsibility.""Hospitality isn't just welcoming—it's negotiating belonging, loyalty, and a sense of shared life.""Gratitude can liberate, but it can also create hierarchies and transactional indebtedness.""Hope is not naive optimism—without hope, how do you live, build relationships, or carry forward at all?"Helpful Links and ResourcesFollow Mona on X (Twitter) at @monasiddiqui7*Christians, Muslims, and Jesus,* by Mona SiddiquiHuman Struggle, Christian and Muslim Perspectives, by Mona SiddiquiA Theology of Gratitude: Christian and Muslim Perspectives, by Mona SiddiquiMy Way: A Muslim Woman's Journey by Mona SiddiquiThe Moral Maze, BBC Radio 4Show NotesMona Siddiqui's personal background in Islamic jurisprudence and public theology“I got into Islamic jurisprudence because of personal connection and intellectual curiosity.”Navigating public discourse post-9/11 as a non-white, non-Christian scholarImportance of pluralism and living within diverse identities"I need to create a space that appeals to a wider audience—not just about what I think."Growing up with intellectual freedom in a traditional Islamic householdHow faith upbringing seeds lifelong moral introspection"You are always answering to yourself—you know when you have not lived rightly."Developing comparative theology through seminars with Christian scholarsOverlapping themes between Islamic and Christian thought on the good lifeThe significance of accountability over blanket forgiveness"Belonging is crucial to being a good citizen—you can't flourish alone."Exploration of loyalty: loyalty to people vs loyalty to principlesCivic loyalty and critical engagement with the state“Because I feel loyal to my country, I should also be its critic.”The role of prayer in cultivating internal moral awarenessReflection on virtues: gratitude, loyalty, hopeThe dark sides of gratitude and loyalty in institutionsParenting with a focus on integrity, accountability, and faithfulness“Live so that whatever you say in public, you can say at home—and vice versa.”Emphasis on public engagement: speaking clearly, making complex ideas accessible"Radio became a gift—people want complex ideas made simple and meaningful."Remaining hopeful despite the culture of outrage and cynicismYoung people's resilience and persistent hopefulnessHospitality as a fundamental ethic for creating trust and belongingStruggle as a normative, transformative experience that shapes flourishing"Thriving is not just freedom—it's centering, writing, speaking, and deep human connection."The importance of relationships in thriving and flourishing“Most of us realize—relationships are the hardest, but the most rewarding.”Redefining gratitude: avoiding transactional gratitude, cultivating authentic gratefulnessStruggle cultivates introspection, resilience, creativity, and a deeper moral lifePam King's Key TakeawaysI can't be moral on my own. But my decisions are my own. In the end, living with integrity means living with virtue.Personal and public flourishing are deeply connected to our lives of faith and spirituality; and all of us need to bring the depths of our personal spiritual commitments into public life.We can offer hope and freedom from fear to each other when we expand our hospitality to all persons.The practice of gratitude in the face of our vulnerability is easier said than done—but is a strengthening response to uncertainty and suffering.And finally, human struggle is something we hold in common, and it can be redeemed for creativity, beauty, healing restoration, and a reminder of our dignity as human creatures.About Mona SiddiquiMona Siddiqui is Professor of Islamic and Interreligious Studies, Assistant Principal for Religion and Society, and Dean international for the Middle-East at the University of Edinburgh.Her research areas are primarily in the field of Islamic jurisprudence and ethics and Christian-Muslim relations.

In this episode, Ronn and Mike discuss the final three verses of John 2. This short passage allows their conversation to develop at length the concepts of “belief" and “faith” in both the Old Testament (Hebrew, aman) and the New Testament (Greek, pisteou). The study details the implications of Jesus' understanding of belief and loyalty when it comes to his expectation of “following” him into eternal life. Along the way they emphasize the importance of viewing faith as an expression of loyalty rather than as a passive acceptance of Jesus' work on the cross, in the end critiquing modern theological interpretations of faith.

On this episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold is joined by Congressman Pat Harrigan for a candid and surprisingly in-depth discussion about the inner workings of Congress, legislative dysfunction, and what it's really going to take to push President Trump's “one big beautiful bill” through both chambers. Harrigan, a former Green Beret and first-time Congressman, doesn't hold back, describing the pace of government as “galactic to glacial,” while explaining the delicate balancing act behind building consensus, curbing spending, and codifying Trump's agenda before time runs out. Jon presses hard on topics like election integrity, foreign lobbying, dual citizenship in Congress, and whether campaign funding influences loyalty. Harrigan holds his own, discussing term limits, national security threats from China, and a pending bill based on Trump's reciprocity doctrine, prohibiting foreign land ownership in the U.S. unless Americans can buy land in those countries. After the interview, Jon pivots to news highlights, including Trump's new reciprocal trade agreement with the UK, speculation around his upcoming “big announcement,” a potential Medicare drug price reform plan, and the DOJ's invocation of state secrets in the controversial El Salvador deportation case. He also covers FBI Director Kash Patel's recent child trafficking crackdown, ongoing Epstein document delays, and the historic selection of Cardinal Robert Prevost as the first American pope. Packed with straight talk, political insight, and sharp analysis, this episode pulls back the curtain on what's moving in D.C.—and what's not.

"Guard your consciousness because our consciousness is our most most precious thing that we have."Welcome to the grand finale of the Bewitched series. Robyn and I wrap up this intense journey, reflecting on lessons learned and closing the book. We discuss the ethical responsibility we felt and the personal cost of sharing these stories.I share 11 patterns of manipulation I tracked across guest stories, explaining how they relate to childhood relational trauma and exploiting "soft spots", like creating trauma bonds and gaslighting. Robyn adds personality insights, contrasting the Dark Tetrad with the Light Triad. We touch on how traits like openness and agreeableness, combined with trauma, may make accomplished, intuitive women susceptible. Discernment is crucial.We also address the question of why Betty's identity was not revealed. We're excited to continue podcasting, collaborating on new content focusing on ethics, integrity, and standards in the healing and spiritual leadership space. We want to thank all of the women who wanted to come forward with their stories and experiences.

There's a quiet kind of suffering most men carry—and it comes from loyalty to the wrong things.Maybe it's a job that's slowly draining you...a city that no longer fits who you are...a one-sided friendship where you're always the one giving.. or an outdated identity you should have shed long ago. You keep showing up out of obligation, thinking it's noble—but deep down, you know it's costing you.This isn't about disloyalty to your values or your brothers...It's about waking up to the ways you're betraying yourself in the name loyalty. And loyalty to the wrong things will keep you from the life you were meant to live.If something inside you knows it's time to make a change—this episode is your sign.Check out my Online Men's Coaching Community We Are The They and see how it's changing men's lives across the globe!Get my FREE guide with 45 Days of Simple Tips to Become a Better ManPick up my USA Today bestselling book Be One: How to Be a Healthy Man in Toxic TimesJoin the Real Men, Real Conversations Facebook Group

This week on Ring of Fire! Donald Trump threw a late-night temper tantrum on Truth Social after receiving mild criticism from longtime Republican strategist Karl Rove. Rove had called Trump out for his Pope image as well as his tone-deaf statements about people needing to spend less, and that was enough to send Trump into a frenzy. He got on his social media platform and blasted Rove as a “total loser” who is “wrong about everything,” apparently forgetting that he made a desperate plea to Rove to save his dying campaign in the 2020 election. In a fiery social media post, Marjorie Taylor Greene announced that she will no longer just blindly give her votes to Donald Trump, and that she is going to stand firm in her horrible principles. She said that she had voted to continue funding the government last year because Trump asked her to, but made it clear that this will “never” happen again just because Trump asks. She then listed a series of issues that she plans to vote against, including many that are directly supported and proposed by Trump. Polls show that fewer and fewer Americans are buying Donald Trump's lies that President Biden is to blame for the economy, and a majority now place the blame squarely on Trump's shoulders. In spite of his failing message, he continues to repeat it in hopes that people will somehow start to believe it once again, even though Biden has been out of office for four months now. All that, and much more, on this week's Ring of Fire Podcast!

I once worked with a family business run by two brothers and a sister. The sister was a dreamer, pushing niche markets and creative ideas. Her CEO brother was all about landing big accounts to keep cash flowing. Every strategy meeting turned into a shouting match. Nothing got decided, and the business was stuck.I pulled the creative sister aside and asked, “Do you want to be CEO?” She laughed, “No way.” That honesty was a game-changer. They finally aligned behind one leader, and the chaos started to fade. Is your family business stuck because no one's steering the ship?Download The Profit Gap for free at TheProfitBootCamp.com to see 5 hidden reasons family businesses work hard but still fall short of profit.Survival mode kills profitFamily businesses are special, but they come with unique traps. The daily grind, orders, payroll, and customer complaints can bury any chance of big-picture thinking. You're so busy keeping the lights on that you forget to ask: where's this business going? That's survival mode, and it's a profit killer. Strategy takes a backseat when you're just trying to get through the week.Clear roles fix family chaosThen there's the family dynamic. Loyalty and emotions can cloud tough calls. Maybe your cousin's great at sales but terrible at managing people, yet no one says anything because he's family. Or your parents are still on the payroll, even though they retired years ago. These are human issues, but they hurt your bottom line.The fix? Write down everyone's roles, even if it's awkward. Be clear: who's in charge of what? I've seen families transform their businesses just by putting this on paper. It's not about cutting people out but giving everyone a lane so the company can move forward. Always return to the core principle that increasing profit increases value for all family members.If every week feels like a scramble, you're missing structure. Without a precise rhythm, you're starting from zero every Monday. That's exhausting, and it keeps you stuck. Try this: start one monthly owner profit check-in, 60 minutes max.Focus on one question: what's driving profit next month? It could be following up on late invoices, cutting a small cost, or pushing a high-margin product. Get your team thinking about profit, not just staying busy. Structure turns chaos into progress.Family businesses also risk getting too comfortable. You might have a warm and loyal culture, but is it driving growth? Or is it just keeping the peace? Ask yourself: does our setup push us toward profit, or are we coasting on familiarity?One family business I know kept a low-margin product line because it was “part of our history.” Dropping it felt like betraying the past, but it freed up cash for marketing that doubled their revenue. Logic has to win.Structure over stressHere's a quick story. I had a client who groaned, “Mondays are a mess.” Projects stalled, and he was micromanaging everything. We set a simple rhythm: Monday to set goals, Wednesday for updates, Friday to review wins. In just a few weeks, his team started owning their tasks. He wasn't carrying the whole business anymore; he had breathing room. Structure doesn't sound sexy, but it's a game-changer.Now you see the real traps keeping your family business stuck. But what if the real problem isn't your family, it's you? In our next episode, we'll face the hard truth about leadership and profit. Don't miss it.Actions from prior episodesCut one cost: Block 30 minutes, review P&L, and cut one expense. Just one. Lead by example.Find one drain: Review finances weekly, searching for one hidden loss. Act now.The next actionAlign the family: Hold a...
