It tells the story of a tuatara longing for the wild and worried about dying who is taken home by different students per the assignment of a strict substitute teacher.Leo was released by Netflix on November 21, 2023 to generally positive reviews.Leo is a jaded old lizard with a heart of gold who's been stuck in the same Florida classroom for longer than he can remember, alongside his terrarium-mate Squirtle the turtle. He's watched generations of students come and go but feels like he's missed out on life. When Leo learns he only has one year left to live, he plans an escape to experience the world. Thanks to a new substitute teacher who task the kids with taking one classroom pet home for the weekend, Leo has a chance to escape. His hilarious attempt to head for freedom and him opening his mouth to break the one simple role that seems to be the theme in the movie, you can't let humans know animals can take, which is pretty dope, like imagine if that was the case in real life, talk about restrain. In Florida, Leo the tuatara and Squirtle the turtle are the class pets of a fifth-grade classroom at Fort Myers Elementary School and are prepared for another year with a new set of students. During a parent-teacher conference night, where the students' pregnant teacher, Mrs. Salinas, announces that she must go on maternity leave, Leo overhears one of the student's parents say that he's old, making him despair that he never accomplished anything with his life. The next day, Ms. Malkin, the students' strict, no-nonsense substitute, arrives and is quickly loathed by the students.Leo is taken home for the weekend by Summer, a girl who is highly talkative. While trying to make his escape, Leo accidentally reveals to Summer that he can talk, and suggests to her that she ask more questions after saying that her constant talking tires everyone out. As a result, Summer becomes more popular among her classmates. Soon enough, the students begin to request that they take Leo home with them, where they share with him their own personal dilemmas, to which Leo offers them life advice. Before long, each of the students have taken Leo home with them and offer them their phones so that they can keep in touch with him.Fed up with the attention Leo is getting, a jealous Squirtle decides to expose Leo by revealing that he can speak to all of them, as he lied that the only ones who could understand him are the ones he was taken home with. Feeling betrayed by this revelation, they decide to disregard him, and Ms. Malkin, having caught on that Leo can talk and that the students' changes in behavior are the result of his advice, decides to take him to her home.While at Ms. Malkin's home, Leo learns that the reason she's grouchy is because she never got to accomplish her dream of being a real teacher, always getting relegated to being a substitute. The next day, the school is having a history fair, and the students manage to win the grand prize of a field trip to Magic Land Park with their reenactments of famous historical figures. When she is praised for her work, Ms. Malkin, wanting to take all the credit, decides to abandon Leo at the Everglades, and proceeds to lie to the students by telling them that he abandoned them, much to their dismay, as they had wanted to apologize to him.As the students head to Magic Land Park, Squirtle catches up with them and reveals that Ms. Malkin lied about Leo, to which she confesses. Upon arriving at Magic Land Park, the students and Ms. Malkin hijack the bus so they can drive to the Everglades. Meanwhile, Leo, while trying to fit in with the wild animals, learns from other lizards that he can live to be more than 75 years old, reinvigorating him. While trying to find a way out, he suddenly encounters a congregation of alligators, but they are successfully scared off when the students arrive and reunite with Leo.On the final day of the school year, the graduating students ask Leo how they could get through middle school without his advice, to which he says that they just have to look out for each other. Ms. Malkin is given a full-time job as a teacher and is promptly assigned to the kindergarteners, with Leo and Squirtle as the class pets. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
Scott Pilgrim Takes Off is an animated television series developed by Bryan Lee O'Malley and Ben David Grabinski for Netflix. The series is based on the Scott Pilgrim graphic novels written and drawn by O'Malley, with the entire main cast from the 2010 film adaptation, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, reprising their roles, while also serving as a joint sequel/remake to the graphic novel and film. The series was released on November 17, 2023, to critical acclaim.The series, set in Toronto, Canada, serves as an alternate retelling of the original Scott Pilgrim graphic novel series. Like in the original series, Scott Pilgrim, a bassist in an indie band, falls in love with Ramona Flowers, a mysterious delivery girl, attracting the attention of Ramona's seven evil exes. Things take an unexpected turn, however, when Scott loses his battle against Ramona's first evil ex Matthew Patel and is seemingly killed. As everyone's lives, including those of Ramona's evil exes, change drastically as a result, Ramona learns that Scott may still be alive and decides to investigate his disappearance.THIS COULD BE RIDICULOUS CARTOON I HAVE EVER SEEN, AND I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF SHITTY SHOWS, BUT THIS ONE TAKES THE CAKE!This here is a peal of trash in my opinion. 8 episodes, 4 hours down the drain but what the heck do I know. Apparently, this is an alternative ending to the original 2010 movie. I guess the cool thing is that every actor in the original repriced their role in this shit show, of course, even the original was still as stupid as this. So it's just retelling nonsense. Another cool aspect could be that it's designed like a game, it's got Mario brothers type of coins that pop out when you punch someone to death, and every fight has mortal combat or even street fight vibes. I guess what's missing is that “finish him” aspect. This shows how impactful the Hollywood strike has been, This cabbage is considered entertaining. Now before I say anything else about this show, Romona is a whore and Scott is a creep who dated a 15-year-old. And could also be mentally disturbed. Dude faked his death and kidnapped himself, to prevent himself from marrying a girl. That's crazy but that's not even the weird part. I mean like if a future version of me kidnapped me and told me my life would be shit if I dated a particular girl, I wouldn't even question him, in fact, I would instead ask him to compel a list of match results of all the world sports so I could make a huge fortune making bets. Now that more logical and positive way to use a time machine, not waste time on some girl. Who's a whore for that matter, hey 7 ex-boyfriends are not a lot of body's. but you should question the type of men she is pulling when she breaks up with them. these fools instead of moving on start a little club, a stupid league of Exes, and their sole mission is to fight and kill Ramona's future love interests I mean how pathetic can you get.

THE QUEENSTOWN KINGS3 reasons to watch Queenstown Kings.1. It's a family-oriented movie, that focuses on repairing the broken relationship between father and son.2. This is about football, about how a small township team, achieved an impossible dream, all thanks to their prodigal son, who returns home when his father passes.3. Important life lessons, like don't rush things, give a second chance, drugs are bad for you.NOW LET'S GET TO THE PART WHERE I SPOIL THIS MOVIE! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
The start of this movie almost lost me as we just had Michael Fassbender ( the protagonist in this film whose actual name is never mentioned but, he uses various names throughout the movie, almost Jason Bourne-type of vibes) anyway, Michael delivers a never-ending narration while he waits to execute a hit. But then when I thought about the character, it made sense. David Fincher's ( the director, in case you wondering who that is) attention to detail throughout the entire movie is immaculate as every little thing plays an important part. This is also a very intelligent and smartly written movie that requires you to think, and for me at least, I really liked this as it made it a fun challenge to figure out certain elements in the film and to always pay attention to details.Plus the movie finds a way to make you feel like you're shadowing a real contract killer the whole time. The main character's narration is a unique touch, even in the normal everyday moments when he's constantly looking over his shoulder. The film's pace has a constant tension, with certain moments where it escalates rapidly into venomous action, yet the action never feels overdone and instead feels hyper-realistic.NOW PAY ATTENTIONI have a theory. This is a perfect misdirection trick the film creators made.You never get to know this unnamed assassin. You never get to know what makes him tick. That's the whole point.As a viewer, we normally project our own moral compass onto what we are watching. We think this is a revenge story. We think we are rooting for this character who is fighting back because his loved ones were attacked. But really, i don't think that's the point, I think it's something darker.Now listen Throughout the movie, the killer repeats his rules. He never mentions anything personal. Nothing about his home or girlfriend. He doesn't care about anyone. People are not important. He IS a paid killer after all. The Killer tells us his job bores him at the very beginning and hopes for a chance to experiment with more creative ways of killing.He is basically telling us he is craving a challenge. I believe he subconsciously makes the error of botching up the first kill on purpose to liven up things, to see what would happen & push him to the extreme of his abilities. It's as if he has created an excuse to go on a killing spree around the world. By the end, he realizes he loves his job again. This is why he doesn't kill the client as he knows this would destroy future gigs.The final scene is him poisoning his girlfriend's coffee. The girlfriend was his only weakness & vulnerable target. His handlers immediately for her after he botched the job. NOW he has learned this, now to avoid it from happening again he kills her.. but then again i could be wrong. ANYWAYSIn conclusion, "The Killer" is a must-watch thriller drama film that combines suspense, brilliance, and stellar performances to create an unforgettable cinematic experience. If you appreciate a well-crafted narrative that keeps you guessing until the very end, this film is a must-see. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
SLY is a work of art, it doesn't only tell a story of legendary award winning; film director, screenwriter and action hero of the 80's and 90's “SLYVESTER STALLONE.”. He has a career that spans over five decades. If that's that make you a GOAT, I don't know what will. it somehow makes him immortal and mortal at the same time. The documentary shows, the vulnerabilities of a living legend.it shows his character not the role he played on motion picture but the man. The man behind the lens, the man before the words a written. In his purest moments. It brings out his true essences. The arrogance, the pride, the humility. The human not the millionaire and Hollywood mogul. But just a guy who had a dream, who work hard to make his dream a reality. It's beautiful. Its tear Jucker when you realise how much nonsense Hollywood movies have fallen. it's no longer about heart, passion and making relatable stories. It about making movies flashy and making tonnes of money. Story telling is a dying heart. And it's a wonderful to learn or to experience that Sly wrote, directed and produced, some of his great's moments on the big screen. To believe in yourself even when the odds are pinned against you. When they mock, ridicule you, trip and push you. That you keep on believing. For me that's really the message of this documentary and that no matter how successful you become it will always amount to nothing unless you have family and friends. Because ultimately that's what really matters. The people we love not the things we love. So, to me “Sly'', IT brings out his soul, it gives a detailed description of how much Sylvester Stallone gave it order to bring exceptional characters like Rocky Balboa and John Rambo to life. I only wish the documentary was longer.When I look back at my childhood, I look back with great fondness. It brings me to tears when I think that my father introduced to this wonderful world of movies. So, watching this and seeing sly talked about the trails and the huddlers he had to jump and cross to make these wonderful stories.I think about my father and the VCR, the tapes he rented from blockbuster and those movie rental joints. The anticipation of waiting for Friday and the weekend because we had no electricity. So, we powered the television with a generator. Slyvester stallion. He was so good. I couldn't separate him from the characters, we'd say, things like (while growing in fact some people still do that to this day.) “The new Rambo movie or rocky movie just came out” even though he was playing a completely different role, he was RAMBO. HE WAS ROCKY. with a whole different story line.he embodied the characters. So, much that they become real. You could almost touch them, while they were on screen. These are the types of films that resonate with the audience so much that, we become so involved in the story, you cry, laugh, jump with joy and you be enraged.whenever the character expresses an emotion. Its almost as if you were there with them. Like you part of the story somehow. I think that's what made Stallone so renowned. To make it even sweeter he wrote and directed it. Wow. Man was …. No man is talented. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

“Old Dads,” a Netflix comedy about three middle-aged dads in Los Angeles, each trying to deal with the delayed pleasures and perils of fatherhood, sounds like a Hollywood satire to watch along with “Bad Moms,” or maybe the sort of broad burlesque of child-rearing that would star someone like John Cena. Actually, though, it's not that sort of movie. It was directed and co-written by Bill Burr, who also stars in it, and it's been spun out of the kind of prickly incorrect observations that are the hallmark of Burr's stand-up comedy — and also the kind of squirm comedy that powers his anthology series “Immoral Compass.” “Old Dads” isn't nearly as good as “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” but at times it feels like three episodes of that show jammed together — that is, if Larry David were a Gen-X firecracker whose anger-management issues make Larry look like a pussycat.In the opening scene, Burr's Jack, playing catch with his pre-schooler, tells the audience in voice-over that embracing fatherhood later in life was more or less the best decision he ever made. He and his wife, Leah (Katie Aselton), have another baby on the way; as Jack sees it, they couldn't be happier. So what's the problem? In the old parental gender wars, men were called out for not being nurturing enough, or for failing to do their share of the housework. Jack isn't that kind of caveman. He's a warm, hands-on father, not the sort of ancient old-school sexist who expects his wife to do the heavy lifting of parenting while he's off working or unwinding.The problem for Jack is cultural and generational. He hates the brave new world of safe spaces, obsessive social justice, and what he sees as extreme oversensitivity. When he arrives at his son's private preschool, Little Hearts and Minds, to pick him up, Jack is two minutes late, and this is treated as a major infraction. Didn't he read the guidebook? In the middle of it all, he blows his stack at the principal, Dr. Lois (Rachael Harris), a moralistic Karen who beams with passive-aggressive pride. By the time Jack is done venting, he has said at least three words he shouldn't have (one is the C-word), and he's got to come back and apologize in front of the whole school.The rest of the parents, who are mostly millennials, tut-tut their disapproval, and talk about how badly they've been triggered. And that's what links “Old Dads” to “Curb Your Enthusiasm”: the way it satirizes a certain L.A. noodginess that's really a form of one-upmanship, one that grows right out of the corporate showbiz culture, with its fake New Age trappings. What everyone is really looking for is the socially approved way to get ahead.Jack and Leah are desperate for the principal to write a recommendation for their son (so that he can get into the right kindergarten!). As a result, everything they do is being judged. Burr, in his stand-up specials and podcasts, revels in what some would call “anti-woke” comedy, but what brings the satirical world of “Old Dads” to life — at least for a while — is that Jack recoils from the new ethos of parenting because of how controlled it is. He's a man of a certain age who feels that he's not allowed to do, or say, any of the stuff he used to. And that hits home because he's a father — a father who has somehow been denied what he feels is most essential, which is his authority. The whole world is telling him: You're not in charge. So he lashes out. And just digs the hole deeper for himself.Jack has two long-time buddies, both of whom are experiencing their own version of the middle-aged daddy blues. The hopelessly insecure Connor (Bobby Cannavale) lusts for his lost youth — he wants to look the way he did, and be as cool, which means that he speaks in his idea of cool signifiers, saying “pound it out” as he offers a fist bump, dropping his cringe version of Black street slang. (The office worker he tries to do this with looks at him as if he were from Pluto.) Meanwhile, Mike (Bokeem Woodbine) has grown-up kids and is done with fatherhood. Or so he thinks. He's living the life — until his girlfriend, Britney (Reign Edwards), announces that she's pregnant, despite the fact that he had a vasectomy.“Old Dads” also finds the space to be an office comedy. Jack, Connor, and Mike launched a vintage sportswear company that they sold, which should theoretically put them on easy street. But they still work there, and the new CEO is a duplicitous progressive-generation flake who talks about “liberating” workers when he's firing them. Miles Robbins, who plays this cuddly toxic clown, does it in high style.He sends Jack, Connor, and Mike on a road trip to locate a grizzled hermit — off the grid since 1988 — he wants to use as the company's so-obscure-he's-the-new-fame mascot. Along the way, in their rental car, they have a raunchy conversation about Caitlyn Jenner that is, let's just say, beyond unenlightened, and a video recording of the chat gets them all fired, their equity in the company canceled. Is this a violation of privacy? That's one of many glancing themes “Old Dads” introduces for about 30 seconds only to move on to something else. As a first-time filmmaker, Burr demonstrates a certain shaggy vision, but he keeps jamming episodic ideas together. Here and there, “Old Dads” hits notes of scathing perception. Connor's wife (Jackie Tohn) is convinced her preschool son can do no wrong, despite the fact that he likes to hit people with a stick. That situation sounds extreme, but what's funny and telling is the righteous therapeutic ardor of her language, where letting kids off the hook — for anything — becomes its own form of “advanced” parenting. And when Mike tries to force his millennial coworker to admit that if he really loves hip-hop so much, when he's rapping along with N.W.A. he must be saying the N-word, it's explosively funny, because it's such an honest scene. Yet there's a monkey wrench sitting in the middle of the movie. And that's Jack's rageaholic personality. Forget the over-controlled, virtue-signaling era. Jack's anger really is over-the-top and inappropriate, and would be during any era. So even if you welcome a satire of the new corporate-approved hypersensitivity, since Jack's rage is a more glaring problem than any of that it undercuts the film's satirical bite. I realize that rage has long been Bill Burr's calling card, but if he had made Jack a more restrained character, quietly infuriated by everything around him, “Old Dads” would have been funnier and scored more points. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

While enraged in that moment, Emily later learns that nobody at the firm cares, as long as she is discreet: for better or worse, she is protected by her senior position at the firm, a position usually occupied by men. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Miseducation takes us into the life of Mbali Hadebe, the daughter of corrupt politician Brenda Hadebe, who faced accusations of stealing grant money. The series begins with Mbali's extravagant party, where every action she takes becomes a source of controversy, leading to her becoming a subject of mockery and the target of social media memes. Raised in the shadow of her mother's scandalous image, Mbali's formative years were filled with public scrutiny and criticism. The weight of it all became too much for her to bear, which compelled Mbali to break into tears and finally drift away from her friends. In an urge to escape the spotlight and return to normalcy, she makes a life-altering decision to relocate to Makhanda, enrolling at Grahamstown University. It's here that she crosses paths with Sivu Levin, the charming student who happens to be the university rowing champion and a candidate for SRC president. Their encounter ignites a love story that blossoms despite the difficulties of university and politics and becomes the core of Miseducation. This romantic tale takes center stage, showing how love can heal and change lives, even in difficult times.Miseducation is a lighthearted drama that delves into the complex world of university life and uncovers issues that are relevant to today's audience. It shines a light on problems like bullying, exclusion, and the complicated world of student politics at Grahamstown University. Through the story of Mbali Hadebe, the series vividly shows the challenges of fame and the difficulties of living under the shadow of a tarnished political legacy. As Mbali becomes more distant from her mother, she takes a drastic turn in her efforts to maintain her relationship with Sivu Levin, which leads her into morally gray areas that mirror her mother's actions. Amidst all the chaos, some unexpected friendships develop, especially with Sivu's adoptive sister, Natalie, who provides support and a sense of belonging. The inclusion of Jay, a character of South Asian descent playing a homosexual role, demonstrates the show's commitment to diversity and its fearless exploration of the issue of homophobia. Miseducation doesn't shy away from tackling these subjects, which serves as a mirror to the difficulties of modern student life.Miseducation goes beyond the typical romantic comedy-drama by boldly addressing prevalent issues in schools and colleges, including unequal treatment between wealthy and less privileged students, as well as the harmful tradition of ragging. In addition to its central love story, the show sheds light on the often-overlooked politics on university campuses, shining a spotlight on these important matters. The character Sivu Levin is at the center of this academic struggle. He faces a tough choice: should he stick to his privileged, bullying white classmates, or should he support the students who are being mistreated by them? This is a big moral dilemma, and it shows the difficulty of doing what's right when faced with injustice.As student elections approach, another strong candidate, Caesar, becomes Sivu's main competition. Caesar's involvement in an attack on Jay highlights the need for serious action against intolerance and violence in college life. The promising cast, helmed by Buntu Petse, who plays Mbali Hadebe, and Lunga Shabalala, who plays Sivu Levin, do a fantastic job, making their roles feel real and genuine. Besides the protagonists, we get to see a diverse cast, including Prev Reddy as a South Asian student, Jay Naidoo, and Micaela Tucker as Natalie Levin, who did an absolutely amazing job in the show, portraying a beautiful bonding between these characters. Through these diverse character journeys, “Miseducation” captures the feeling of college life, mixing in elements of romance and humor. It shows the contrast between the excitement of youth and the serious problems that students face. In the end, it's a show that not only entertains but also makes you think about crucial issues in education.As Miseducation Season 1 wraps up, it leaves us with lots of questions and characters we want to learn more about. The final episode hints at the possibility of a new season on Netflix, where we can dive deeper into the stories, flaws, and growth of the cast. Fans are left in suspense, wondering if Mbali will overcome her challenges or if someone will come to her rescue. The show's open-ended conflicts and mysteries leave ample room for more storytelling. At the core of the show is the evolving relationship between Mbali and Sivu, which has been a central focus. Its continuation is expected to be a driving force in the ongoing story, even though there's no official confirmation of the second season yet. Bit fans can anticipate the potential arrival of a second season of Miseducation. This series has already made an impact by addressing important issues in the academic world, and future episodes promise more drama and exploration of these fascinating characters and their stories. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

The cinematography, everything was great from costume casting the acting the set. Oh, my God, those sets were phenomenal and huge. This must have caused Netflix of fortune.

Until her engagement to Kiyoka Kudou, a commander apparently so cold and cruel that his previous would-be brides all fled within three days of their engagements. With no home to return to, Miyo resigns herself to her fate—and soon finds that her pale and handsome husband-to-be is anything but the monster she expected. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
A knight is framed for a crime he didn't commit, and the only person who can help him prove his innocence is Nimona, a shape-shifting teen who might also be a monster he's sworn to kill.I loved Nimona. It is beautiful, fast paced, funny and emotional. The quasi medieval world, with flying cars and subways, is visually a delight to look at. The characters are well developed and wonderfully voiced. Nimona herself is a true original- a quirky, feisty, anti hero. She sets out to cause mayhem but, as we get to know her, we realize she wants acceptance, not the fear she engenders in others because she is a shapeshifter. The developing friendship between her and Lord Balister is genuinely moving. They have both been outcasts but find strength in each other. Nimona is really a movie about being loved even if you are different, which is a timely message during these intolerant times. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Amy Schumer: Emergency ContactOver the years her comedy got quite stale unfortunately. Eventually it seemed (to us) that Amy had left comedy to start a family. We figured good for her. She did very well for herself while in the limelight.Well... She's back.... with a special? I was curious, despite the large amount of distaste she has garnered for herself over the years with some of the biggest names in stand up. I gave it a try.Nothing relatable out of the gates. L. A. Plastic surgery material from a frumpy wanna-be funny mom? Hard pass. I feel like this was specifically for her friends and family, but thought it was good enough to make some cash from. I'm curious if she actually tried the material out more than a couple times outside her friends and family... This was NOT "special" material by any measure.Amy uses the exact same comedy beats that she used years ago. The jokes MIGHT be new, but the same tired delivery was enough to turn me off. I did chuckle a couple of times, but i might have just been attempting to find something funny. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Chris and Lucas share some of the biggest lessons they've made from nearly catastrophic events. They've both messed up big time, so listen closely, and avoid costly mistakes. Make sure you're subscribed, because Chris will be bringing you big lessons each week from other entrepreneurs. Lucas is going to be talking to vendors and tech partners in the ecommerce ecosystem to keep your store fine tuned and winning. Chris Meade woke up to a big box retailer definitely know of discounting Crossnet 50% at the end of season. Which is totally reasonable. What hurt was when 35 new sellers were competing with us on Amazon for the buy box. We had no choice but to buy them all back. Lesson learned - always negotiate buy backs with your retail buyers. The second lesson he share is the first time Greg and I ordered a container. Nobody told us you had to have protective packaging. Turns out weeks at sea isn't the greatest thing for your product's packaging. When we got our shipment, everything was damaged and destroyed. We had no choice but to pay retail for new boxes and stickers and redo everything ourselves. Lesson learned - Use one company that can get the products across borders and to your doorstep. After the big retail summer season, comes our BFCM season, which is great for us when we make sales directly through the website. Especially when we've already collected the POs from all the retailers. What isn't so great, is when our Black Friday deals over discounted what the retailers were able to do. Buying ads to send traffic to retailers isn't fun. It's low ROI, but it's a great way to build rapport and relationships with buyers. Lesson Learned - Have a special package for retailers or your website to avoid the feeling of competition.

The biggest headline in e-commerce payments this week was "Amazon to stop accepting Visa credit cards issued in the UK, citing high fees". Karisse will dive into why they made this decision, Visa's response to the news, and what other companies can learn from this bold announcement. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/11/17/amazon-to-stop-accepting-visa-credit-cards-issued-in-the-uk.html (https://www.cnbc.com/2021/11/17/amazon-to-stop-accepting-visa-credit-cards-issued-in-the-uk.html) Also, Karisse reads a question she received from an online retailer asking for help to solve a "mystery" related to refund fraud. Refund/return fraud & abuse is impacting online retailers at an even greater rate than credit card fraud, and this particular method the retailer is experiencing is especially popular. Karisse will shed light on what these clues mean, how other companies can learn if they're experiencing this issue, and a few tips on what can be done to identify these issues before issuing refunds. The Fraudology podcast discusses the "science and study of fraud", particularly in the e-commerce channel. The host, Karisse Hendrick has advised hundreds of the biggest e-commerce companies in the world on fraud, chargebacks, and other forms of abuse impacting a company's bottom line.

Today's episode is with Lucas Walker, a serial entrepreneur who has started three successful businesses in the software, e-commerce, and media spaces, working on bootstrapped and venture-funded companies. He has reviewed more than 10,000 eCommerce stores as a part of his work over the past couple of years and, today we will discuss 'Launching a Product in a Competitive Market with No Prior Experience.' Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode: Learn about the key things to consider when launching a new product. Learn about some of the costs to consider when starting or launching a business. Learn about a checklist of things needed to successfully launch a business in the 'new normal.' Episode Highlights What is the difference between a product and a service launch? When launching a service, business owners must focus on grabbing the attention of their potential clients. When launching a product, business owners must focus on making sales and tap into other markets. It is also vital that when a business is launching a service it accounts for the cost to offer the service and ask questions such as 'who will it cater to?' 'How will it make your profit?' As for a product, it's key to knowing how much needs to be produced and how much time it will take. Costs to Consider when Starting up: The Software A Legal team for potential Lawsuits or other Law related matters Taxes Revenue and its turnover time Contingencies Customer care Time - How much of my time will it cost me to carry out a given task. What is the Sales Process like? It is essential to build a relationship with potential buyers/distributors for at least 6-8 months before they begin to sell your products. Work with your buyers and do not be afraid to ask for help so they can give you advice about the marketplace and what would ensure that you have a successful launch. The Entrepreneurial Checklist for Launching a Product in the “New Normal” Audience Collection - Start thinking about your potential clients or customers and reaching out via email or SMS; Create a low-cost (not free) Landing page or website - Use this platform to build customer engagement and collect relevant data and feedback from your customers. Find the appropriate channel for business - Find a supplier for your product that has existing dominance in that industry space. Post Launch - Find out what your customers like or didn't like and be very upfront about what you are working on and the changes you plan to make. Who do you need on your team? When launching a new product or service a few team members are vital to ensure all goes well, these include; Strong Writer - A business requires a lot of communication. It is good to have someone with excellent communication skills both for internal and external matters. Sales Representative Marketing Personnel Other positions can be filled with Freelancers from platforms such as Upwork or Fiverr 3 Powerful Quotes from This Episode “Don't be impatient.” “Be ready to move quickly.” “Don't be afraid to go out and ask for help from people who have done it."

The data all points in the same direction when it comes to SMS: it's becoming a standard marketing channel. This time next year, marketers who don't embrace it will find themselves well behind the game. In 2020, ecommerce merchants sent 378% more texts to customers than they did the year prior, resulting in a 102% year-over-year increase in conversions. We're confident numbers will only rise in 2021. Regardless of the stats and indicators, many marketers remain hesitant to dabble in SMS. Asking for an email address? No problem. But a cell phone number—that's getting a little too invasive.Divatress, a wig shop, jumped into SMS in 2020. They're now close to the 70,000 subscriber mark, which constitutes 40% of their email subscribers. Owner and founder Rob Lin discusses why he felt it was time to make the move. He explains how the messaging channel was a natural evolution for his audience, the ways he is utilizing it to spread the word about the brand, and why it is exceeding his expectations. Also joining the conversation are an Omnisend customer success manager and this season's Cart Insiders Podcast co-pilot, Lucas Walker. They share their perspectives on ways SMS can be used to build relationships, and how merchants can move past the insecurities of getting started. Tune in for these SMS considerations and more: What compels the marketing pros to sign up for a brand's SMS alerts?What role can data play in determining a company's strategy around using SMS? How can customer support through SMS help make a sale?How can SMS be used to establish a level of comfort for the customer?From a marketing standpoint, what is the most important thing to know about SMS?Is there an ideal time to send SMS messages?What are the SMS don'ts? About the Guests:Rob Lin, Owner & Founder, DivatressLin launched Divatress.com in 2009 with the goal of reaching more people after starting several retail stores. Over the last decade, he has grown the business while “navigating all the craziness of small business.” His goal is to grow large enough to open multiple warehouses around the country and also create as many jobs as possible.

On the surface, the term “lapsed buyer” seems relatively straightforward. But the concept turns a little murky when giving thought to what it really means. First off, there are any number of reasons that someone has not purchased from your brand in a while. The customer might not be ready. They could have had a bad experience. Perhaps something changed in their life and your product has lost relevancy.And defining the moment of transition to the “lapsed” side is debatable, too.Despite all nuances, email marketers should not ignore these customers. Messages targeted at lapsed purchasers experienced a click-through rate of 13% last year, accompanied by a 21% conversion rate. Naked & Famous Denim is one such company that employs lapsed-purchase email automation. The company's chief denim otaku, Bahzad Trinos, shares the strategy behind these emails, which are sent to customers who often go a year before buying again. Denim enthusiasts are encouraged to wear the high-end jeans day after day, without washing in between, until the fabric molds to their liking. Though Trinos doesn't expect repeat purchases within a certain period of time, he sees value in engaging and maintaining an open line of communication. The three-part series produces a 16% conversion rate. The revenue-per-email (RPE) lift ranges from 580% to 793% over typical promotional emails. He talks through his approach, which includes gathering customer feedback and utilizing Omnisend's product recommender. Also joining the show are this season's podcast co-pilot, Lucas Walker, and an Omnisend customer success manager who discusses her process for steering clients through creating the lapsed purchase series. We dig into a number of questions about lapsed purchase email automations: How do you determine when a buyer becomes a lapsed purchaser?When is the right time to send a lapsed purchase message?What is the one element you should incorporate to prevent subscribers from tagging you as spam?How do you decide on the right content for a series, especially if you don't know the reason for a customer's inactivity?Why is it advantageous to ease in with a customer feedback slant?Is it better to create a multi-message series one email at a time, or all at once?About the GuestsBahzad Trinos, Chief Denim Otaku, Naked & Famous Denim Trinos is obsessed with fabric, its history, how it's made, and the way it ages. As the company's first employee, he has been instrumental in its evolution every step of the way. Trinos serves as general manager, develops the product collection, and leads the company's branding and marketing efforts.

It's a common struggle for ecommerce merchants. Will I annoy subscribers with emails about their shopping cart abandonments?Worse, will subscribers outright leave my brand if I remind them of the things they merely viewed? Equestrian apparel company Kerrits has discovered the answer is “no” to both. They found the right balance, and it's paying off. Cart and product abandonment messages account for 10% of the company's email marketing revenue. These automation types perform. Conversion rates for cart abandonment messages stack up to 34%, while the browse variety hits the 17% mark. Senior Director of Branding and Marketing Sara Florin divulges how she implemented both kinds at Kerrits, taking us behind the scenes of the abandonment portion of the company's “minimal but effective automated email strategy.” She explains the elements that go into Kerrits messages, how she inserts splashes of equine speak, and what triggers email deployment. Also weighing in with insights are the Omnisend customer success manager who has guided Florin from the start, along with ecommerce veteran Lucas Walker.We dig into the following questions around abandonment emails and more: How can cart abandonment emails be useful in revealing the reasons the checkout process stalls?Is success dependent on offering a discount?Which is best when designing browse abandonment emails: the intrusive approach of, “Hey, we noticed you checking this out,” or the covert, promotion-veiled route? If you implement an abandonment series, what should each message communicate? And what's the ideal timing?How do you decide what products are worthy of a browse abandonment email?Why is it a good idea to split messaging based on different cart attributes? What are some resources for inspiration?Listen to the full story on the Cart Insiders podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, Google Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.About the GuestsSara Florin, Senior Director of Branding & Marketing, KerritsFlorin, whose marketing career began in graphic design, flexes her creative muscles by overseeing projects spanning wholesale and direct-to-consumer touchpoints across all channels.

Our Ecommerce 2020 statistics report verified what we've known for a long time. While skeptics claim email is dead, it still continues to deliver. And automated emails are particularly valuable—they don't even make up 2% of sends but drive 29% of all email marketing sales. We wondered, “What can we do to get more ecommerce businesses—especially our fellow underdogs who don't have time or resources—on the automation bandwagon?” The answer seemed obvious: use our podcast megaphone to spread the word.Welcome to the third season of the Omnisend Cart Insiders Podcast. In each episode, we explore an email marketing automation tactic that's proven to increase sales, not the workload. We're talking with nimble ecommerce merchants who are finding success with them, and the experts who help with the behind-the-scenes mechanics. But first, we kick things off by wandering the land of ecommerce marketing. Emails, SMS (text), a dash of social media, and more.Here's a peek at the musings of Episode 1:Why does email marketing continue to not only convert, but its performance improves each year?What things are merchants doing differently when it comes to email marketing, as opposed to a few years ago?Why is it better to get an automation up and running—even if it's not perfect—than to have nothing at all?What's the best order when implementing the following types of automation emails: welcome series, abandoned cart, browse abandonment, post-purchase, and lapsed-purchaser?Why is SMS on the rise, and is it here to stay?What is SMS' upper hand versus other marketing channels?How are the marketing experts—aka our podcast guests—personally using SMS? (There are lessons here for you, brands!)What will the iOS 14 update mean for social ads, and how might it impact opt-in list quality?Listen to the full story on the Cart Insiders podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, Google Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Colin and Lucas open this episode talking about the CPG industry, and some of the nuances. Colin is a new voice to you, but best friends with Lucas Walker. He's a mathematician at Omnium CPG, working with large grocery brands like Love Good Fats. Then Lucas is joined by this week's guest Suzie York. Suzie Yorke, CEO and founder of Love Good Fats is on a mission to bring healthy fats back. A mom, eleven-time Ironman competitor and yoga enthusiast, Suzie spent years adhering to a low-fat diet only to hit a wall in her mid-40s. After reading Nina Teicholz's best seller, Big Fat Surprise, she immediately shifted to a high-fat, low-carb diet, and felt better right away. While she loved the benefits of her new lifestyle, Suzie found it challenging to find convenient, good-fat snacks. Seeing a gap in the marketplace and a huge opportunity to help others through food, Suzie developed https://lovegoodfats.com/ (Love Good Fats), a company that produces high-fat, low-carb, and low-sugar products. Today, Suzie leads Love Good Fats' expansion as it quickly becomes one of the fastest-growing bar brands in North America. As a 30-year veteran of the CPG industry, Suzie has worked at high-profile companies such as Proctor & Gamble, PepsiCo, Kraft Heinz, Weight Watchers, and Zag. Utilizing her accomplished marketing background, personal journey, and deep devotion and passion for health, Suzie is on a mission to spread the word that fat is back, and sugar is out! Suzie has been recognized several times since launching Love Good Fats, including the 2019 Mompreneur® Start Up Award, 2019 WXN Top 100 BMO Entrepreneur Award and 2020 RBC Canadian Women Entrepreneur Awards Ones to Watch Award.

Summer tends to be the season of downturns for online shopping; consumers are more likely to be out and about, typically visiting shops in person or travelling, and there are no blockbusting gift or sale-related holidays until well into the fall. As such, Shopify and e-commerce store owners may find the summer months to be a drag, with no great events to theme any product pushes around, save the simple fact that it is summer, and much less consumer interest or traffic. That's where non-bank holidays, what are rapidly becoming known as Social Media Holidays, come in. What Are Social Media Holidays? That's where non-bank holidays, what are rapidly becoming known as Social Media Holidays, come in. A SMH can vary in importance or impact, ranging from the typically ignored Denim Day on April 28th, to more well known and traditional holidays (that, usually, don't result in business closing early), like Halloween, St Paddy's Day, or Valentine Days. These days are a boon for any store owner looking for a short burst of traffic, and for customers looking for an excuse to break up the monotony of their days, chasing novelty for novelty's sake. A clever SMH campaign, through a company like Omnisend, such as simply posting copyright-free photos of dogs on National Puppy Day can bring a welcome wave of fresh traffic and attention to any store, regardless of product or service offered, with little to no time or resource investment. SMH campaigns however can be a double edged sword when it comes to the heavy hitters of the Social Media Holidays, like Mother's Day. Before the rise of the internet, Mother's Day was infamous among retail and restaurant workers for being the true crucible of workers, a highly profitable crunch that can yield a massive one-day gain. It may seem all too easy and obvious to, in the days of social media, bombard your channel with Mother's Day coverage, tugging at the heartstrings of consumers, and getting them to show their love to Mom with another new purchase, but some SMHs, like Mother's Day, may unexpectedly poison your well. Whereas in the past, advertising media had to be engaged with by a customer to be consume, a choice made by them to interact or not, modern ad methods, such as automated messaging, can side-step this barrier, and deliver what may be unwanted or even jarring alerts to otherwise interested users. Days like Mother's Day and Father's Day, along with Remembrance Day, or other SMHs that seek to address either deeply personal relationships or spotlight societal problems, can be deeply traumatic, exploitative or emotionally disruptive to some customers. Interrupting their day to interject unwelcome feelings or associations that they may have spent a lot of time and energy dealing with or avoiding can cost you a dedicated and loyal customer. According to Pitstop host Lucas Walker, there is a simple way to not only avoid upsetting any of your consumer base or users, without a major investment in time or money from you, but deepening your customer's sense of trust and personal engagement with your store and product; before rolling out your Mother's Day SMH campaign, reach out to your members, and give them the choice to opt out. Presented as a direct text based message, no elaborate designs or pushes to sell, from either the company brand ambassador, head or founder, this simple choice, left up to the customer themselves, can turn your relationships with your customers from one of transactions to loyalty, humanity, and respect, and actually drive later sales even further, as returning consumers show their appreciation for your consideration.

So you've managed to get your customers to hand over their SMS numbers, what now? How do you take full advantage and use to get the most out of their interest and contact information in a way that doesn't feel like you're spamming the customers with needless and unwanted messages and offers? Look to industry leaders and how they handle their SMS collections, says our own host of Pitstop and Rolled Up Podcasts, Lucas Walker. Beardbrand has created a mostly interactive SMS based system, in which the customer is just as much a force for activity and engagement over messaging as the store itself is. Customers can text to opt-in to special programs, upcoming offers, alerts about new products, as well as use the service to ask item and product related questions, or even inquire about the right products for them, while offering tailor made exclusives they can find no where else. With every interaction the customer engages in, your brand receives more information you can use to specify your outreach to those customers, via SMS Collection segmenting. By segmenting your SMS opted-in consumers based on the information they give you, be it their buying habits, or the kind topics and items they have questions about, or even separating them by location, you can not only tailor your content to them in the most effective manner, which will result in further engagement with your store, but can avoid accidentally annoying them, or worse, costing them money. A service where clients can text you questions is great for outreach, but if you offer this to foreign customers, who may be charged extra for international texting, then you may instead drive them away. Correctly implemented to avoid these issues, such as through Omnisend's easy-start SMS marketing programs, and incredibly helpful monitoring options, you can segment your SMS collection to get the most effectiveness from your outreach campaign, while further feeding the cycle of customer engagement to sale to customer engagement to sale, and avoid over-investing your time and resources in toxic or lost clients, while refocusing and maintaining your healthier lists.

David McCary, Headless Commerce Expert, joins Lucas Walker to discuss headless commerce platforms. When should a brand consider headless commerce? Looking toward internationalization (Or regionalization) Flexibility in how their content is displayed and delivered Performance needed to bring store to the next revenue level Revenue in the 7 figured approaching 8 figure or higher Layers of Complexity Developers and marketers will mean different things Platforms like Shogun Frontend drastically reduce the complexity Modular platforms like custom builds or tools built for developers can give more control but add complexity and costs. Benefits of Headless Increased flexibility of content assets, for example different images in different regions Increase speed like http://nomadgoods.com/ (Nomad Goods). Tools Mentioned Carts: Shopify, Big Commerce CMS: Prismic, Contentful Headless Platforms: Shogun (sponsor), Nacelle.

Will Critcher of Death Wish Coffee painstakingly redesigned their brand.from product and webpage to social media presence and consumer outreach. Now with a list of over 70,000 emails, Will shares his secrets to customer engagement with Pitstop's own Lucas Walker. What can brands do to convert client sign-ups into active purchases? Generating an active and dynamic business ecosystem that engages the customer as a community member, not just a source of sale. Use randomized leech-in options, like gift codes of varying amounts, to continue to drive incentivization and interactions with the brand. Stick to more tangible offered benefits, such as gift codes, that customerscan understand. A percentage off a purchase can be vague and distancing for the consumer, but a flat rate, such as $5 off, is more likely to drive engagement and purchases as it's something more concrete and relatable. 10 or 10,000 visits or engagements a dayYou should be doing everything you can to encourage your customers to entrust you with their email or contact information, putting you in control of future engagements with those consumers. Anything you can do to capture first party data will generate future leads. Remain engaged and active with your leads throughout your business relationship, not just sporadically. Make contact as often as possible, in the form of product and brand updates, gifts codes and special offers, feedback requests and direct emails upon new purchases, to continue their engagement with your brand even after their transaction has been completed. Email is your primary and fundamental point of contact, but always drive further engagement from your lists to your other available content-options. such as SMS updates or offers using a tool like Omnisend or Privy. Reward those engagements. Provide unique offers through your various engagement mediums, not just the same offers repeated. Push them up your value ladder, from would be one time buyer to dedicated subscriber, one step at a time. Become familiar with the average timeline of product turnover for customers. If it takes a week to finish a bag of coffee, then a week after your system registers a purchase, reach out to that customer with an offer for their next purchase. This drives a sense of community and creates a special bond between the brand and the consumer. Why continue to use email as a primary contact when we live in a world of social media and text messaging? Email remains the most cost effective and direct means for reaching out to your customers, while driving active engagements from the consumer back to your product. Automated email systems are by far the cheapest option for mass-contact, and can be randomized to avoid stale or repeating content. Customers can easily engage with your brand in return, providing valuable active and up to date feedback on your products, again with no extra cost beyond the initial price of the email campaign. Unlike SMS which can only appear as text or static images, or social media which requires the consumer to come to your brand constantly for updates, emails also allow for flyer-style marketing, turning your outreach into a storefront from which they can directly purchase product.
