Justin is a digital marketing veteran with a strong emphasis on implementation and optimization. He is the #1 Amazon bestselling author of Conversion Fanatic: How To Double Your Customers, Sales, and Profits with A/B testing. He is also the co-founder and President of Conversion Fanatics, a full-service conversion rate optimization company helping companies like Burt's Bees, RenewLife, PaleoValley, Lumber Liquidators, Ministry Of Supply and many more increase conversions and marketing performance by 30% to 1850%.    In this episode of the Be Real Show, Travis and Justin open up the show discussing the inspiration behind Conversion Fanatics. Justin prefers to work with established eCommerce businesses because they are the easiest to help. If you need help with your conversions, first, look at your data. Where are your visitors? Where are your visitors falling off? From there, Justin will start collecting qualitative data through surveys. Then, they measure what is most important from the consumer's point of view. Justin's favorite report is the shopping behavior report because it will tell you if consumers are even putting any products in their online shopping cart. Later, Justin explains the reason some companies do not really care about their home page. Stay tuned to hear Justin answer the top ten questions, including the top four books he highly recommends.     Connect LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/justin-christianson-33b4836/ Website - https://conversionfanatics.com Twitter - https://twitter.com/convfanatics Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/justin.christianson YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOhpXTAcZG2iGTizT7ddRww         Resources Mentioned Conversion Fanatic: How To Double Your Customers, Sales and Profits With A/B Testing HotJar - https://www.hotjar.com Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion Playing to Win: How Strategy Really Works Work the System Topgrading   People Mentioned Jeff Bezos – @jeffbezos

Shares of Disney fall on earnings. It in its earnings call, Disney announced it will offer a bundle of its three streaming services — Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ — for $12.99 a month, the same price as Netflix’s most popular plan. Will the Disney bundle be a game changer? Motley Fool analysts Jason Moser tackles that question and weighs in on earnings from CVS and Lumber Liquidators.

“It’s like trying to run a race in the fog.”  That’s how senior analyst Seth Jayson describes trying to predict how Uber and Lyft will get to profitability.  We discuss those businesses in advance of their impending IPOs, plus we sift through the wreckage of 4th-quarter reports from Overstock.com and Lumber Liquidators.

Is the RSA Conference a must attend for security professionals? Or is it enough to "just be in San Francisco that week"? Check out this post and discussion for the basis of our conversation on this week's episode co-hosted by me, David Spark (@dspark), the creator of CISO Series and Allan Alford (@AllanAlfordinTX), CISO at Mitel. Our guest for this episode is Tyson Martin, CISO for Lumber Liquidators. David Spark, producer of CISO Series, Tyson Martin, CISO, Lumber Liquidators, and Allan Alford, CISO, Mitel. Thanks to this week's sponsor, Praetorian. As a professional services company, Praetorian helps enterprise customers solve complex cybersecurity problems. We are the security experts. On this episode of Defense in Depth, you'll learn: Is RSAC for education or connecting? Does the value happen in the conference center or outside? This was the initial part of our debate and one argument is you need to graduate from RSAC to make it more of a "connecting outside of the event" type of event. The show floor is overwhelming. As David Gorton of OverwatchID noted, "The circus hides the serious of what we're trying to do." There were a lot of comments about people not having fear of missing out (FOMO), but you can't argue that RSAC has a gravitational force that brings tons of security-minded people to San Francisco for one week every year. There is enormous value in that. The marketing model for vendors during and after the show is starting to grate on practitioners. They're not enjoying the endless cold calls the following week. The expo hall is focused on leads and given that so many of these products are high ticket items, if just a few sales comes through, then the event pays for itself. It's impossible for small booths to compete for visibility with huge booths at the conference.

Will we ever cut off the flow of contaminated product from China and other offshore manufacturing sites? The recent revelations surrounding Lumber Liquidators, which faces criminal charges for the alleged presence of the carcinogen formaldehyde in flooring made in China, are only the latest example of serious slip-ups in manufacturing quality control. It's tough enough to police one's overseas suppliers for violations of human rights in the workplace – and even more challenging to detect the use of unauthorized and potentially hazardous ingredients in toys, apparel, home furnishings and consumer electronics. On this episode, we speak with Ron Keith and Mark Medlen, executive chairman and chief operating officer, respectively, of Riverwood Solutions. They discuss the challenge that companies face in monitoring their suppliers' production lines, given the presence of 22 million factories in China alone, and the $40bn worth of goods imported by the U.S. from China each month. And they propose an answer to the question: Why does this keep happening?

In this Procurement Perspectives podcast, Kelly Barner shares guest audio from a recent CBS Evening News broadcast about the Lumber Liquidators laminate flooring scandal involving their overseas suppliers. The sudden resignation of their CEO last week serves as an interesting case example of Proxima Group's recent research findings about consumer reactions to companies involved in supplier scandals.
