They share stories of connection and discovery, from the warmth and hospitality of the Kenyan people to the vibrant cultural pride that infused every interaction.

As Adrian and Abbie note, these technologies open new doors for storytelling, connection, and creativity, but they also demand continuous learning and adaptability. Ultimately, the trip to Nairobi was a reminder that global collaboration is as much about people as it is about progress, and that meaningful growth happens through shared experiences, empathy, and genuine human connection. Read the transcript and notes for this episode on our website.

This week I was so lucky to sit down with Rob Sender, Trinity University alumnus '99, for the Living Leadership Interview segment. After leaving Trinity he earned a Master's degree in Sports Sales from Baylor University which segued into a first job in Minor League Baseball. Following many years on the agency side, Rob has found a home as the Senior Brand and Marketing Director with the Dallas Cowboys. The conversation weaves from managing one of the most iconic brands in the world, his time and Trinity, and his thoughts on the Situational Leadership model, his leadership philosophy, and principles. He describes the impact of mentors he had at Trinity and those in his professional life since. Rob indicates that one can become a great leader through being exposed to lots of different leadership styles and leader personalities and at the end of the day curiosity should be the "coin of the realm." I truly appreciate how he describes the need to tinker, the need to "test and learn" and why all of us should manage our networks.  The episode concludes with my lecture on chapter 5 of the 10th edition of Peter G. Northouse's "Leadership: Theory and Practice." During the segment, I provide an overview of Hersey and Blanchard's Situational Leadership Model, discuss details about the connection between a leader's style and the follower's developmental level, and why it's essential that leaders engage in conversations with their team members. Let me know your reactions to my chat with Rob. Reach out to both of us on LinkedIn and let's keep the conversation going.

Some brands treat branded content and campaigns as separate things, one emotional or value-driven, and the other transactional. But what happens when they work together?   In this episode, Trent Marsh, Marketing Director at Riton Optics, joins me to unpack what he calls the marketer's trap, when teams invest in strategies they wouldn't engage with themselves.    Trent shares how to break that cycle by pairing campaigns and content to serve the same purpose, building trust, emotion, and results simultaneously. We discuss how data has given leadership "ammo to kill branding," why every channel deserves a role in your mix, and how omnichannel marketing makes small budgets feel bigger.   You'll also hear why brand coherence matters more than novelty, how to find and keep the right on-camera personality, and why every strong brand needs both campaigns that convert and content that connects.   About: This podcast is produced by Port Side, a creative production studio creating video strategy + production for active brands, rooted in emotion.  Enjoy this episode and discover other resources below: Insight Deck | Want 20 of our favorite insights shared on the show?  Booklist | Here's our curated list of recommended books over the years.

In this episode of The Rainmaking Podcast, Scott Love welcomes back Kevin Wheeler, a seasoned business development consultant with over 30 years of experience advising law and professional services firms on strategy, marketing, and client growth. Together, they explore “Growing Key Clients: The Low-Hanging Fruit of Business Development.” Kevin explains that most firms overlook their most lucrative opportunities—their existing clients. Rather than constantly chasing new business, firms can achieve greater profitability by deepening relationships with key accounts and institutionalizing client management. Kevin outlines the major barriers preventing firms from capitalizing on these opportunities, including compensation structures that reward origination over collaboration and a lack of leadership support for client-focused strategies. He provides a roadmap for building a strong key client program: secure buy-in from firm leadership, appoint dedicated client relationship partners, conduct regular client listening interviews, and link compensation to client growth goals. By developing structured account plans, engaging clients directly for feedback, and mapping relationships strategically, firms can uncover untapped opportunities, strengthen retention, and create long-term growth.

The core principle of journalism is to "seek the truth and report it," a mission that is constantly challenged by those who don't want the truth to be told.The First Amendment protects journalism in the United States, yet there is a growing concern about governmental restrictions on press freedoms. Journalists are facing unprecedented attempts to silence them through lawsuits and intimidation, raising alarms about the future of the free press.Can the truth survive an assault by the US Department of War?Read the transcript and notes for this episode on our website. Key Takeaways The First Amendment guarantees freedom of press and speech, but these rights are increasingly under attack by new government restrictions and litigation. Journalism is crucial for democracy as it holds power to account, yet current trends threaten to stifle investigative reporting and free expression. The lines between news, opinion, and entertainment are blurring, demanding that audiences become more critical of their media consumption. Young journalists may become discouraged from pursuing hard-hitting stories, leading to a prominent decline in investigative journalism. Advocacy and support for journalistic freedom are vital in preserving a healthy, informed democracy and counteracting misinformation.

Send us a textIn this episode we interview Sean Huntington, Marketing Director at Strive. What you'll learn in this episode:How to apply the “value pyramid”: primary product value, secondary educational value, and community value that compounds through peer-to-peer exchange.A simple test for resonance: build for one specific person first, then scale what works.Ways to escape vanity metrics: measure comments, replies, and introductions sparked—not just likes.How to find secondary value in “unsexy” niches (the blinds example): map use-cases, moments, and adjacent needs.Practical research moves: run short surveys to validate hunches and surface content topics your audience actually wants.Community mechanics that endure: give value, enable sharing, and create connections that outlast campaigns.How to turn customers into contributors: highlight member stories, enable meetups, and make introductions that unlock momentum.

The typical RFP process for hiring PR and communications firms produces sub-optimal outcomes for all parties. (That's the polite way of saying it's really bad.)We believe it can be done better, but it will take increased transparency and trust between organizations and agencies. In this episode, Abbie and Adrian discuss how the traditional RFP has become a barrier that stifles creativity. They provide insights to reshape the way RFPs are perceived and executed, advocating for a more collaborative and open process that benefits both parties.Abbie shares her firsthand experiences with various proposals, noting the importance of well-structured RFPs that allow for meaningful comparisons. Adrian emphasizes that organizations should be clear about their needs and budget to foster a productive dialogue, ultimately leading to better outcomes for all involved. Read the transcript and notes for this episode on our website. Key Takeaways The RFP process is a common yet often unsatisfactory method for hiring PR firms, as it can limit creativity and effectiveness. Organizations must clearly outline their needs in an RFP, as unclear requests lead to poor responses and miscommunication. Trust is essential in the RFP process; both clients and agencies should be transparent about their expectations and capabilities. Budget parameters should be discussed upfront to ensure agencies can provide realistic and feasible proposals that meet client needs. Pre-RFP conversations can enhance the quality of the proposals received by allowing agencies to ask clarifying questions. Agencies should not be asked to provide free ideas, strategies, or plans during the RFP process; this is unethical and counterproductive.
