Welcome back to the Fintech Takes podcast. I'm Alex Johnson, joined by Carlos Caro (author of the Free Toaster newsletter and host of the Free Toaster podcast) for the second episode of Facing Credit, where we unpack what's really happening in lending right now. This one's about marketing; the overlooked starting point of every loan. Everything in lending sits downstream of how you acquire customers and what it costs to reach them. And right now, that system is in flux. AI has upended the old rules of digital acquisition. Google's “Helpful Content” update triggered what Carlos describes in his writing as the “SEO Apocalypse”, a collapse that's wiping out 50–90% of organic traffic and forcing publishers, affiliates, and lenders to rewrite their playbooks. The rise of AI-generated search results and zero-click answers means the economics of attention have changed for good. Carlos and I dig into: How AI is breaking traditional digital marketing and reshaping lender acquisition costs What Google's updates mean for SEO, SEM, and the affiliate ecosystem How creators like My Rich BFF and MrBeast are becoming the new distribution channels for lenders And what “Generative Engine Optimization” (GEO) might mean for the next phase of search Tune in for Carlos's take on how lenders, publishers, and fintechs can survive the SEO extinction event (and what it'll take to win attention in the AI age). Plus, we reference these three Free Toaster pieces throughout the conversation; consider them required reading: The SEO Apocalypse Has Arrived How New Balance's CMO Turned Around A 15-Year Decline Reddit Isn't an Affiliate Channel This episode was brought to you by Marqeta.

In this episode of Scratch, Ariel Kelman, President & CMO of Salesforce, shows how a category leader can still think like a challenger through the power of education, not persuasion. Education beats persuasion when you make community the flywheel: by pairing product truth with peer proof through events like Dreamforce, Trailhead, and forums, so customers learn how to win with your product (not just why it's great). That mindset turns advocacy into momentum.But teaching only lands if the tech actually works in the flow of “work”, so Ariel's rule is being able to put data before demos. He emphasizes the need to harmonize and govern customer data in Data Cloud so AI agents have context, then deploy them where they matter. For example, a product Q&A agent spun up in weeks drove 700k+ customer chats, and their website/service agents have resolved 1.6M cases because they understand real customer history, permissions, and next best actions.Finally, as a brand, you need to be Customer Zero and balance quick wins with long bets. Dogfood your offerings first to iterate fast and convert internal proofs into external playbooks, then scale what works.

What if everything you've been told about saving for retirement is wrong? In today's explosive episode, we sit down with Chris Miles, the man they call the "Anti-Financial Advisor," who achieved financial freedom and retired at just 28 years old. He's here to share his journey and challenge the financial establishment.Challenging Conventional Wisdom: Chris gets right to the point, exposing what he sees as the critical flaws in mainstream financial planning. He argues that the blind faith in 401(k)s and the stock market is a flawed strategy. In our conversation, we explore why the promised returns often fall short and how these plans can lock you into a "money prison," limiting your access and control. We discuss the vital importance of shifting your mindset from slowly accumulating funds to rapidly accelerating your wealth through cash flow. The Real Secret: Cash Flow is King: So, how did Chris break free? He explains his transition from financial advisor to dominant real estate investor. The secret, he says, isn't about hoarding wealth—it's about generating consistent, predictable cash flow. This is the engine that drives true financial independence, and he lays out the principles for how you can build it. Beyond the Basics: Alternative Wealth StrategiesWe go even deeper, exploring the powerful strategies the wealthy use to stay that way:Strategic Real Estate: We break down the essentials of building a passive income portfolio through property investment.Infinite Banking: Chris demystifies the concept of using whole life insurance as your own private bank.True Diversification: Learn why moving beyond stocks and bonds is critical for creating a resilient and prosperous financial future.If you're ready to question the status quo and learn a new way to think about money, this episode is your wake-up call. Let's burn the boats of bad financial advice.Connect with Chris:Website: https://moneyripples.com/ or YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@moneyrippleswithchrismilesTakeawaysMany financial advisors are not financially free themselves.Traditional financial advice often leads to insecurity and fear.Real estate investing can provide quicker returns than traditional methods.The stock market's average returns can be misleading.Avoid locking money away in 401ks and IRAs.Current market conditions make money expensive to access.Return of capital is more important than return on investment.Sound Bites"The blind leading the blind.""Don't lose money.

Trades business owners find themselves without work in the pipeline all too often. Choosing to focus on other, seemingly more important parts of their businesses because at that moment they had work. But when the work suddenly dries up it's a lack of consistent marketing activity that we have to focus on as the culprit here. This is a common mistake though and maybe more so for tradies than other business owners because their focus is on the work and the outcome (which is important). As a business coach for tradies and builders, part of my job is to help my clients guard against this. To build a Marketing Machine that keeps working all the time so you don't end up in this sh*ty position.This video is about the fact that marketing is a numbers game and how to play it. When you go quiet, two numbers are important - your marketing activity that finds opportunities and your sales funnel as your forecast - all the opportunities you could win (right now if you don't find any more).You need to be measuring these numbers so you're not at risk of work drying up… I've made a chart to help you. Comment ‘CHART' and I'll send it and comment ‘CALL' and I'll talk to you about whether my coaching can help you.--------------------------------------If you're interested in growing your trade business, head over to our website and you can read some more of these Tradies Toolbox Tips: https://www.smallfish.com.au/trades-business-coaching/Book a money-maker call: https://www.smallfish.com.au/chatFOLLOW US AT:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/smallfishcoach/Twitter: https://twitter.com/smallfishcoachInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/smallfishbusinesscoach/YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/smallfishau

“Women make up 80% or more of the garment industry workers. Women garment workers make meager wages and work excessive working hours, 14 to 16 hours a day…Fashion is ranked as the second most polluting business in the world by the UN, 7% of the landfill is garments. The garment industry emits 8 to 10% of global CO2 and 500,000 tons of micro plastics are dumped into oceans each year.” Joan Michelson at UN Climate Week SDG Media Zone The fashion industry faces the twin problems of being an environmental disaster, and treating their majority female workforce very, very badly, even dangerously badly in many places. The good news is that some creative, determined, resourceful women are working on both challenges at once. You'll meet a few of them in this episode of Electric Ladies Podcast. It's a live recording of Joan's recent conversations with a few of these creative women who are creating and teaching sustainable fashion, while helping the women in their communities. It's an event at the United Nations for Climate Week at the SDG Media Zone sponsored by the PVBLIC Foundation and the Fashion Impact Fund. You'll hear about: How women in New York, Africa and India are finding ways to help other women learn, manufacture and sell sustainable fashion; Where they are securing the funding for their small businesses and nonprofits. How you can buy sustainable fashion and support the women working there. Plus, insightful career advice: “I think one thing that we can talk about is buying less, right? Part of the problem is there's this like rampant over production. And so, if we buy fewer things, but nicer things and take care of them for longer, that would definitely I think help women. I think buying in general, from women owned businesses, buying locally, like community based. Those are ways that people can be more sustainable. And again, thinking about how to extend the life of your garments.” Ngozi Okaro on Joan's UN Climate Week panel Read Joan's Forbes articles here.

Nick talks to branding expert Greg Merilees, who shares his journey from t-shirt design to creating impactful websites for notable figures like Frank Oz and Sylvester Stallone. They delve into the essence of branding, discussing how it shapes perceptions and drives customer engagement. Greg emphasises the importance of clarity in messaging and the role of storytelling in building trust with audiences. They also explore the significance of unique positioning in a crowded market, illustrated through compelling case studies, including a Pilates instructor who transformed her business through a well-crafted online presence. KEY TAKEAWAYS Branding as Perception: A brand is defined by what others say about you when you're not in the room. It's essential for a brand to resonate with customers and evoke feelings that encourage them to take action. Importance of Clarity: Clarity in messaging is crucial. Businesses should focus on clearly communicating what problems they solve and who they serve, rather than using jargon or clever phrases that may confuse potential customers. Storytelling in Branding: Storytelling is a powerful tool for building trust and authority. By sharing personal stories, case studies, and customer experiences, businesses can create a narrative that resonates with their audience and positions them as the guide in their customers' journeys. Incremental Improvement: A website is never truly finished; it should evolve over time. Businesses should start with a basic online presence and continuously improve it by adding valuable content, social proof, and trust elements as they grow. Unique Selling Proposition (USP): Identifying and highlighting what makes a business unique is vital for standing out in a crowded market. This can be achieved through competitor analysis and understanding customer feedback to draw out key differentiators. BEST MOMENTS "A brand is what others say about you when you're not in the room, and it needs to appeal to your customers so that they take action with your brand." "If you don't have clarity in your message, people will leave your website. Clarity wins every time over being clever." "When people come to your website, they only care about what's in it for them, not about you."

“Sustainable fashion has … given us more permission to wear our values, to choose what reflects our personalities and our values…We have a lot more choices. We have a lot more agency, we have a lot more resources and authority and influence…We can choose to make our impressions the way that we want to…Think about it, because you're sending a message. You're reflecting who you are with how you put yourself together that day….We make a statement with what we wear. So what statement do you want to make?” Joan Michelson at Parlay House DC Delia Ephron, sister and collaborator of the late-great screenwriter Nora Ephron, talked about how women “perform their femininity” with what they wear. But because the fashion industry has an enormously detrimental impact on the environment today, more and more women are demanding lower impact clothing to reflect their values. Designers are responding. What does what you wear say about who you are? Listen to my recent talk at Parlay House DC on women, clothing, values and identity on how what we wear reflects much more than we think – and how we can choose deliberately – in this episode of Electric Ladies Podcast. You'll hear about: Statistics on the environmental impact of the fashion industry Celebrities and designers who are deliberately making clothing with the environment in mind. What else your clothing says about you. Plus, insightful career advice, such as four questions you can ask yourself: “What do your clothing choices now reflect about who you are today?...What statement are you making with your clothing choices currently? How do you want your clothing to make you feel? And... What message are you sending?...Self-image, self-confidence or values, creative expression. Let what you wear reflect who you are today and what you value, deliberately, proudly, creatively, but make it a choice of how you want to perform your femininity.” Joan Michelson at Parlay House DC Read Joan's Forbes articles here.
