In this episode of The New Warehouse Podcast, Kevin chats with John Wirthlin, Senior Product and Marketing Manager at Sonaria, about why RFID is finally practical for real-world warehouse operations. The conversation explores how Sonaria turns raw RFID data into operational visibility that warehouse teams can actually use. Rather than focusing solely on hardware, Wirthlin explains how clear business outcomes, operator-friendly workflows, and measurable ROI are driving wider RFID adoption across warehousing, manufacturing, and beyond.Learn more about Sonaria here.

What's up folks, today we have the pleasure of sitting down with Anthony Rotio, Chief Data Strategy Officer at GrowthLoop.(00:00) - Intro (01:10) - In this episode (04:05) - Journeying From Robotics to Modern Marketing Systems (11:05) - Most Marketing Systems Don't Learn Because They Lack Feedback Loops (16:10) - The Martech Engineering Talent Gap (19:51) - AI Will Amplify Whoever Has the Cleanest Causal Feedback Loop (29:17) - Agent Context Graphs for Drift Detection in Marketing Systems (31:51) - Humans Will Set Hypotheses, AI Will Accelerates Iteration (35:50) - The Evolution of Retail Media Networks (45:07) - How Commerce Networks Redefine Targeting With Governed Data (48:26) - How Agent to Agent Commerce Operates Inside Marketing Funnels (53:04) - Google Universal Commerce Protocol Explained (54:43) - Personal Happiness System (56:30) - Favorite Books Summary: Anthony traces a path from robotics and computer science to his current role where he approaches marketing as an engineering system. He explains how execution-first marketing stacks weaken feedback loops and fragment data, which slows learning and iteration. He introduces the agent context graph as a causality model that lets AI simulate and predict customer behavior with greater confidence. The conversation also covers retail media networks, first-party data monetization through governed access, and a shift toward zero-to-zero marketing driven by agent-to-agent transactions. He closes by stressing that strong data foundations determine who can compete as marketing becomes more automated and agent-driven.About AnthonyAnthony Rotio is the Chief Data Strategy Officer at GrowthLoop, where he leads partnerships and builds generative AI product features for marketers, including multi-agent systems, AI-driven audience building, and benchmarking and evaluation work. He previously served as GrowthLoop's Chief Customer Officer, where he built and led teams across data engineering, data science, and solutions architecture while supporting product development and strategic sales efforts.Before GrowthLoop, Anthony spent nearly six years at AB InBev, where he led a $100M owned retail business unit with full P&L responsibility and drove major growth through operational and digital transformation work. He also led U.S. marketing for Budweiser, Bud Light, Michelob Ultra, Stella Artois, and other brands across music, food, and related consumer programs. He earned a B.A. in computer science from Harvard, played linebacker on the Harvard football team, founded the consumer product Pizza Shelf, and holds a Google Professional Cloud Architect certification.Journeying From Robotics to Modern Marketing SystemsAnthony's career started far away from marketing. He trained as a computer scientist and spent his early years working with robotics and reinforcement learning. His first exposure to a learning agent left a lasting impression because the system behaved less like traditional software and more like something adaptive. That experience shaped how he would later think about work, systems, and feedback. He learned early that progress comes from loops that learn, not static instructions.That mindset followed him into an unexpected chapter at AB InBev. Anthony entered a world defined by scale, brands, and operational complexity. He treated his technical background like a carpenter treats tools, useful only when applied to real problems. Running marketing across major beer brands taught him how value is created inside large organizations. It also exposed a recurring issue. Marketing teams had ambition and data, but execution moved slowly because ideas had to travel through layers of translation before anything reached customers.That friction became impossible to ignore. Audience definitions moved through tickets. Campaigns waited on queries. Data teams became bottlenecks through no fault of their own. Anthony felt the pull back toward technology, where systems could shorten the distance between intent and action. That pull led him to GrowthLoop, where he joined early and worked directly with customers. The appeal was immediate. The product connected straight to cloud data and removed several layers of mediation that marketing teams had accepted as normal.As language models improved, Anthony recognized a familiar pattern. Audience building behaved like a translation problem. Marketers described people and intent in natural language, while systems demanded structured logic. Early experiments showed that natural language models could close that gap. Anthony framed the idea clearly.“Audience building is a translation problem. You start with a business idea and you end with a query on top of data.”Momentum followed quickly. Customers like Indeed and Google responded because speed changed behavior. Teams experimented more often and refined audiences based on results instead of assumptions. Conversations with Sam Altman and collaboration with OpenAI reinforced that this capability belonged in the core workflow. Standing on stage at Google Cloud Next marked a clear moment of validation.That arc reshaped Anthony's role into Chief Data Strategy Officer. His work now focuses on building systems that learn over time. Faster audience creation leads to shorter feedback loops. Shorter loops improve decision quality. Better decisions compound. The throughline from robotics to marketing holds steady. Systems improve when learning sits at the center of execution.Key takeaway: Career leverage often comes from carrying one mental model across multiple domains. Anthony applied learning systems thinking from computer science to enterprise marketing, then rebuilt the tooling to match that mindset. You can do the same by identifying where translation slows your work, then designing interfaces that move intent directly into action. When feedback loops tighten, progress accelerates naturally.Most Marketing Systems Don't Learn Because They Lack Feedback LoopsMarketing organizations generate enormous amounts of activity, but learning often lags behind execution. Campaigns launch on schedule, dashboards fill with numbers, and post-campaign reviews happen right on time. The pattern repeats month after month with small adjustments and familiar explanations. Over time, teams become highly efficient at producing output while remaining surprisingly weak at retaining knowledge. The system rewards motion, visibility, and short-term lifts, which slowly conditions teams to forget what they learned last quarter.Anthony connects this behavior to structural pressure inside large organizations. Quarterly reporting cycles dominate priorities, and executive tenures continue to compress. Leaders feel urgency to show impact quickly and publicly. Compounding growth requires early patience and repeated reinforcement, which rarely aligns with board expectations or career incentives. Short time horizons shape long-term behavior, even when everyone agrees that learning should stack over time.“When you think about compound interest in finance, the early part looks almost linear. People want big bumps now, even if those bumps never build momentum.”Technology choices deepen the problem. Many companies invested heavily in customer data and built impressive data clouds that capture transactions, events, and engagement in detail. Activation remains slow because teams still rely on handoffs between marketing and data groups. A familiar sequence plays out:A marketer defines a campaign and requests an audience.A ticket moves to a data team for interpretation and SQL.The audience returns weeks later.The marketer realizes the audience lacks scale for ne...

Coming live from the UK Hotelier Roundtable Roadshow - this conversation comes from Whittlebury Park, with our hotel host Bradley Spillman, Senior Digital and Marketing Manager, alongside and a panel of experts. We look into how a family-run estate is using data, design and technology without losing that human, hospitality feel.Featuring David Ohanjanian from Up Hotel Agency, Sharon Cowler of Netaffinity, Prem Jethwa-Odedra from Biteluxe, Alessandra Leoni from Focus on Hospitality, Scot Turner from Auden HospitalityWhat We Explore- Personalisation & Story: How Whittlebury Park is using small, specific touches and guest data to move beyond generic messaging and create stays that feel remembered, not just recorded.- Websites & Conversion: Why a clear brief, flexible design and a shorter booking journey turned Whittlebury's website into both a brand window and a serious revenue driver.- Tech & Human Balance: How booking engines, WhatsApp, on-site data capture and smarter F&B and spatial design can support direct bookings and guest satisfaction without losing the heart of hospitality.What stayed with me from this roundtable is how hoteliers challenges are shared, whether running a vast estate or opening a single independent hotel. The tools are there, but the real work is choosing the right ones, aligning owners and teams, and keeping the guest's reality at the centre. Sometimes - tech is not the answer.Hoteliers' Voice is one of FeedSpot's top Hospitality Podcasts and is produced by Urban Podcasts.
El indicador principal alemán de confianza, el índice Ifo, se dispara a 88,6 en febrero desde los 87,6 en enero.. es el nivel más alto desde el verano pasado. Tanto la evaluación actual como las expectativas han mejorado a la par. Ante la incertidumbre comercial tras la suspensión de los aranceles firmados hasta ahora y el nuevo gravamen general de entre el 10 y el 15%, Europa ha decidido congelar el acuerdo comercial firmado con Washington en verano. El responsable de Comercio del Parlamento Europeo, Bernd Lange, va a proponer congelar el proceso de ratificación del cuerdo de la UE con EEUU hasta que hayan recibido detalles de Washington sobre la política comercial. La presidenta del BCE, Christine Lagarde, también pide claridad a EEUU para que determine con exactitud el alcance y la duración de los nuevos gravámenes anunciados por el presidente Trump. Cada vez es más evidente la distancia entre Eli Lilly y Novo Nordisk en los tratamientos para adelgazar. La danesa ha informado este lunes de que su tratamiento experimental, CagriSema, no ha logrado alcanzar el criterio principal con el que esperaba superar a su rival estadounidense. Entrevistaremos a Iván Pulido, Marketing Manager de Rodilla, y a Lucía Viñuelas, presidenta de la Fundación Margarita Salas, para que nos hablen de la inicaitiva que han llevado conjuntamente para acercar la ciencia y la educación a niños y niñas. Los temas de la actualidad, a debate en la Tertulia con José Ignacio Gutiérrez, de la Confederación de Cuadros y Profesionales, y Francisco Canós, inversor y partner en Cyber C.

"Hey – So what do you do?” Why is it that we always default to work when we get this question. its like many of us have let our jobs become the center of how we see ourselves. This slowly happens to many of us, as work occupies more mental and emotional space.I asked 50 people in martech and operations how they stay happy under sustained pressure. This 3 part series – titled “50 Operators share the systems that keep them happy” explores each of these layers through the lived experience of operators who feel the same pressure you probably feel right now.Today we close out the series with part 3: meaning. We'll hear from 19 people and we'll cover:(00:00) - Teaser (01:08) - Intro / In This Episode (04:27) - Rich Waldron: Auditing Whether Work Is Actually Moving (06:49) - Samia Syed: Tracking Personal Growth (08:33) - Jonathan Kazarian: Tracking Growth Across Life Health and Work (10:11) - Kim Hacker: Choosing Roles With Daily Visible Impact (12:21) - Mac Reddin: Checking Work Against 3 Personal Conditions (14:11) - Chris Golec: Choosing Early Stage Building Work (15:19) - Hope Barrett: Feeding curiosity across multiple domains (17:45) - Simon Lejeune: Treating work like a game (19:52) - Ana Mourão: A mental buffer between noticing and doing (21:46) - Tiankai Feng: Anticipation planning (25:30) - István Mészáros: Choosing Who You Are When Work Ends (29:52) - Danielle Balestra: Feeding Interests Unrelated to Work (31:42) - Jeff Lee: Continuing to Build Personal Projects After the Workday Ends (33:23) - John Saunders: Keeping a builder practice outside of work (34:41) - Ashley Faus: Group Creative Rituals Outside of work (37:40) - Anna Aubucho: Maintaining a second self through solo creative practice (39:56) - Ruari Baker: Preserving Identity Through Regular Travel (42:15) - Guta Tolmasquim: Building a personal product roadmap (45:37) - Pam Boiros: Feeding identities that have nothing to do with work (47:52) - Outro All that and a bunch more stuff after a quick word from 2 of our awesome partners.A lot of the operators I chatted with don't talk about happiness like it suddenly arrives. They describe it as something you feel when things actually start to move. Our first guest gets there right away by tying happiness directly to progress, the kind that tells you you're not stuck.Rich Waldron: Auditing Whether Work Is Actually MovingFirst up is Rich Waldron, Co-founder and CEO at Tray.ai. He's also a dad, and a mediocre golfer.Progress sits at the center of Rich's definition of career happiness. He treats it as a felt sense rather than a dashboard metric. When work advances in a direction that makes sense to him, his energy steadies. When that movement slows or stalls, frustration surfaces quickly and spreads into everything else. That feeling becomes a cue to examine direction rather than effort.“Happiness is mostly driven by progress.”That framing resonates because it names something many operators struggle to articulate. Long hours can feel sustainable when the work moves forward. Light workloads can feel draining when days repeat without traction. Progress gives work narrative weight. It answers a quiet internal question about whether today connects to something that matters tomorrow.Rich also points to patterns that erode meaning over time.Roles with little challenge dull attention, even when the pay is generous.Constant activity without visible change breeds irritation that lingers after work ends.Both conditions interrupt momentum. The mind keeps searching for movement that never arrives. Rest stops working because unresolved motion occupies every quiet moment.Progress also shapes identity beyond work. When things move in the right direction, attention releases its grip on unfinished problems. Rich links that release to showing up better at home. He describes being more present as a parent because mental energy is no longer trapped in work that feels stuck. Forward motion restores proportion. Work keeps its place as one part of a full life rather than the dominant one.Balance emerges as a byproduct of this orientation. You choose problems that move. You notice when progress fades. You adjust before frustration hardens into burnout. That rhythm preserves meaning over long career arcs and keeps work aligned with the person you want to remain.Key takeaway: Track progress as a signal of meaning. When your work moves in a direction you respect, it stays contained, your identity stays intact, and the rest of your life receives the attention it deserves.Samia Syed: Tracking Personal GrowthThat's Samia Syed, Director of Growth Marketing at Dropbox. She's also a mother, outdoor fanatic, and an avid hiker.Progress became the scorecard Samia relies on to keep her career from consuming her sense of self. Early professional years trained her to chase perfection, because perfection looked measurable, respectable, and safe. That mindset quietly tightened the frame around what counted as a good day. Effort increased, expectations rose with it, and satisfaction stayed elusive because the standard never settled.Progress creates a different rhythm. It shows up in motion you can recognize without squinting. Samia pays attention to signals that accumulate instead of reset:Teams moving forward together rather than cycling through urgency.People developing judgment and confidence over time.Personal growth that feels lived-in rather than optimized.A child learning, changing, and surprising you in ways no metric could predict.That framing matters because it ties work back to a broader life rather than isolating it. Progress carries meaning when it connects professional effort to personal identity. Samia talks about watching her daughter grow with the same care she gives to her team's evolution. Growth becomes something you witness and participate in, rather than something you chase or defend. That mindset keeps work from becoming the only place where worth gets measured.“Anchoring on perfection as your metric for happiness sets you up for unhappiness. Progress is where I find it now.”Many careers quietly reward polish over development and composure over learning. Progress resists that pressure by valuing direction and continuity. It leaves room for ambition while protecting a sense of self that exists beyond job titles. You still push forward, but you also recognize that your life holds meaning across roles, seasons, and relationships that no performance system can fully capture.Key takeaway: Track progress instead of perfection. Pay attention to growth across work and life, because meaning comes from seeing yourself develop over time, not from chasing a standard that keeps moving.Jonathan Kazarian: Tracking Growth Across Life Health and WorkThat's Jonathan Kazarian, Founder & CEO of Accelevents. He's also father and a frequent sailor.Jonathan keeps work from consuming his identity by actively measuring progress in more than one place at the same time. He pays attention to movement in business, health, and personal life, and he revisits those signals regularly. That habit creates distance between who he is and what he works on. Work becomes one lane of progress instead of the entire road.Growth carries real weight in his thinking because it shows up as momentum you can feel. He talks about forward movement as something tangible, the sense that effort today pushes life somewhere better tomorrow. Setbacks still happen, but they do not erase t...
Since we last heard from Kopparberg at our live podcast session at MAD//North in 2025, a lot has happened for the UK's largest fruit cider brand – namely, the launch of its refreshed creator and influencer strategy last spring. Since then, the brand has been on a mission to entice its core audience of young adults and maintain salience for shoppers in the Beer and Cider aisle through savvy partnerships with creators. In this episode, we're joined once again by Kopparberg's senior customer marketing manager Nancy Dales to deep dive the role of creators in bringing creativity (one of Kopparberg's brand pillars) to life on social. Expect to learn why Kopparberg had to learn to let go when handing over the creative reins, what it takes to get internal buy-in for your riskiest campaign ideas, and how to sustain cultural relevance outside of your busiest sales period.

You can hear a quiet confidence in how he describes work that feels relational rather than transactional.Family anchors that perspective in a very physical way. Nearly every weekend, from late November through Christmas, belongs to his ten-month-old son. These are not abstract intentions. They are mornings that smell like coffee and pine needles, afternoons on cold sidewalks, and evenings defined by routine rather than inboxes. Time with his son creates emotional weight that carries into the workweek and keeps priorities visible when deadlines start to blur.Eric also draws a firm boundary around digital proximity. Slack does not live on his phone, and that decision protects the moments where connection needs full attention. The habit most people recognize, checking messages during dinner or while holding a child, never has a chance to form. Presence becomes simpler when tools stay in their place.The system he describes comes together through a few concrete moves that many people quietly avoid:He limits work to collaborators who feel generous with energy.He reserves weekends for repeated family rituals that mark time.He removes communication tools from personal spaces where they dilute focus.Eric captures the point with a line that carries practical weight.“Delete Slack off your phone.”That sentence signals care for the relationships that actually hold you upright. Attention stays where your body is, and connection grows from that consistency.Key takeaway: Strong connections protect long-term happiness at work. Choose collaborators who give energy, protect repeated time with family and friends, and keep work tools out of moments that deserve your full presence.Meg Gowell: Shared Family RoutinesNext up is Meg Gowell, Head of Marketing at Elly and former Director of Growth Marketing at Typeform and Appcues. She's also a mom of 3.Remote work compresses everything into the same physical space. Meetings happen steps away from the kitchen. Notifications follow you into the evening. Meg treats that compression as something that requires active design. She and her husband both work remotely, so separation never happens by accident. It happens because they decide when work stops and family time starts, and they repeat that decision every day.That discipline shows up in how she leads at Typeform. An international team creates constant overlap and constant absence at the same time. Someone is always offline. Someone is always mid-day. Ideas surface at inconvenient hours. Meg sends messages when they are top of mind, and she pairs them with clear expectations about response time. People answer when they are working. Evenings stay intact. That clarity removes the quiet pressure that turns collaboration tools into stress machines.Connection at home runs on small rituals that happen often. Family dinner stays protected. Phones stay off the table. Conversation has shape, which keeps it from drifting back to work. One simple routine anchors the evening.Each person shares a positive moment from their day.Each person shares a hard moment.Everyone gets space to talk without interruption.“We have a game we play called Popsicle and Poopsicle where each person says a positive thing from their day and a negative thing from their day.”The table sounds different when everyone is present. You hear voices instead of keyboards. You notice moods. Kids learn that their experiences matter. Adults slow their breathing without realizing it. Work fades because attention has somewhere better to land.These habits teach through repetition. Kids learn priorities by watching how time is protected. Teams learn boundaries by watching how leaders behave. Meg models presence through behavior rather than explanation. She sits down. She listens. She disconnects. Those signals travel further than any policy ever could.Career decisions follow the same logic. Meg focused on the life she wanted to live and then shaped work around it. Dinner with her kids mattered. Time away mattered. Flexibility mattered. That perspective runs against an industry that rewards visibility and constant availability. Many people chase recognition and wonder why their days feel thin. Meg invested in connection and built everything else around it.Key takeaway: Connection grows when time is defended on purpose. Protect shared moments, set expectations clearly, and let daily behavior show people where your attention truly belongs.David Joosten: Filtering Reactive Work So Time Stays With FamilyNext up is David Joosten, Co-Founder and President at GrowthLoop and the co-author of ‘First-Party Data Activation'. He's also a dad of 3.Connection shows up here through restraint. David talks about time as something that gets crowded fast, especially once you step into leadership roles where every problem arrives wearing the same urgent expression. Days fill with requests, escalations, and thoughtful edge cases that sound responsible in isolation. Taken together, they quietly displace the people ...
Cosmetic ingredient companies commonly develop starter formulas as inspiration for brand leaders and contract manufacturers. Some suppliers are taking product development a step further and partnering with brands to execute market-ready product briefs. This week on the CosmoFactory podcast, we hear about cosmetic ingredient makers providing product formulation services to brands. Our guest is Catherine Slish, Innovation Marketing Manager at Symrise. In 2022, the Germany-based ingredient supplier launched a program called Beauty Activations for its customers in North America; and the global company has similar initiatives in other regions. Finished product formulation and scale-up are tasks that might otherwise be outsourced to formulation consultants or contract manufacturers. Instead, Beauty Activations is a direct link between Symrise ingredient experts and a brand's in-house product developers (as well as R&D and marketing pros).

Sergio Pérez entrevista al patinador Ernesto Montiel y a Paula Vitores, Marketing Manager de Proactiv Entertainment, sobre el espectáculo 2026. El mes de febrero trae consigo el regreso de la magia de Disney on Ice a España, un evento que se describe como una cita ineludible para las familias y los amantes de la factoría Disney. Bajo el título Vive tus sueños, esta gira internacional promete transportar a los espectadores a través de un viaje nostálgico y espectacular sobre el hielo. El espectáculo, que destaca por su capacidad de renovación anual, se presenta como una oportunidad única para que los adultos se reencuentren con su niño interior mientras los más pequeños descubren a sus personajes favoritos en un formato dinámico y artístico de primer nivel. La gira española de este año contempla tres paradas estratégicas en las principales ciudades del país. El pistoletazo de salida tendrá lugar en Valencia, donde el espectáculo se instalará del 5 al 8 de febrero. Posteriormente, la magia se trasladará a la capital, Madrid, para deleitar al público del 12 al 15 de febrero, finalizando su recorrido en Barcelona del 19 al 22 del mismo mes. Esta planificación subraya la importancia de España como un mercado clave para las grandes producciones internacionales de entretenimiento, consolidando a estas ciudades como referentes en la acogida de eventos de clase mundial. Disney on ice En una entrevista exclusiva desde Suiza, el patinador Eduardo Montiel compartió los entresijos de esta ambiciosa producción. Montiel destacó que Vive tus sueños es un show diseñado para todas las edades, fusionando relatos clásicos con éxitos contemporáneos. Entre las historias que cobran vida sobre el hielo se encuentran Cenicienta y La Bella y Bestia, junto a éxitos más recientes como Coco, Frozen y Moana. Precisamente, se mencionó que el segmento dedicado a Moana es el más largo y elaborado de la obra, permitiendo a los seguidores de la película disfrutar de una inmersión profunda en la historia de Vaiana y personajes como Tamatoa. Eduardo Montiel, de origen mexicano, expresó un orgullo especial por la inclusión de Coco en el repertorio. El personaje de Miguel se ha convertido en uno de los grandes favoritos del público español, generando una conexión emocional inmediata. Según el patinador, la representación de la cultura mexicana a través de esta película de Pixar aporta una alegría y colorido únicos al espectáculo. La destreza técnica necesaria para realizar acrobacias sobre patines mientras se viste una caracterización completa añade un grado de dificultad que el público sabe valorar y aplaudir con entusiasmo. Disney on ice La preparación detrás de un evento de estas características es exhaustiva. El elenco se somete a semanas de intensos ensayos previos a la gira para perfeccionar las coreografías y garantizar la seguridad en cada salto y giro. Montiel explicó que, aunque el espectáculo es universal y los valores de Disney resuenan en todo el mundo, cada público tiene su forma particular de reaccionar. En este sentido, la diversidad del cast, compuesto por profesionales de múltiples nacionalidades, incluidos patinadores españoles, es un pilar fundamental que enriquece la experiencia artística y fomenta una comunicación fluida dentro del equipo. Paula Vítores, marketing manager de Proactiv Entertainment, profundizó en el impacto emocional y la trayectoria de Disney on Ice en España, donde la marca lleva presente más de 30 años. Esta longevidad ha permitido que el evento se convierta en una tradición generacional; hoy en día, los niños que asistieron a las primeras ediciones regresan ahora como padres o abuelos, acompañando a las nuevas generaciones. La capacidad de generar emociones compartidas es, según Vítores, el secreto del éxito continuado de estas producciones en el territorio nacional. Una de las grandes novedades de este año es el regreso a Valencia tras una década de ausencia. El escenario elegido es el Roig Arena, un recinto que se posiciona como una sede de referencia para este tipo de espectáculos multitudinarios. Paula Vítores subrayó la importancia de contar con infraestructuras de vanguardia para poder desplegar un montaje técnico tan complejo. La acogida en Valencia ha sido calificada de fantástica, demostrando que el público valenciano anhelaba el retorno de este evento emblemático a su ciudad. Disney on ice En el apartado técnico, la producción es simplemente colosal. Más de cien personas trabajan incansablemente para que cada función sea impecable. El equipo se divide entre unas 45 personas fijas que viajan con el tour y un grupo de operarios locales encargados del montaje y desmontaje del escenario. Además, se han incorporado innovaciones tecnológicas como sensores automáticos que siguen a los patinadores por la pista para asegurar que la iluminación sea siempre perfecta, elevando el estándar de calidad de la puesta en escena. El espectáculo no olvida sus raíces y cuenta con la presencia indispensable de Mickey y Minnie Mouse como maestros de ceremonias. La caracterización de los personajes sigue los estrictos protocolos de calidad, asegurando que los espectadores vean exactamente lo mismo que verían en los parques temáticos de Disneyland. Momentos icónicos, como el número de Frozen donde llega a nevar dentro del pabellón, son los que terminan de sellar el pacto de magia con el espectador, ofreciendo una experiencia inmersiva que justifica por qué este espectáculo sigue siendo el líder indiscutible del entretenimiento sobre hielo a nivel global.
The February 4 edition of the AgNet News Hour was all about gearing up for what many farmers call the Super Bowl of agriculture — the World Ag Expo, set for February 10–12 in Tulare. Hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill were joined by Megan Lausten, Marketing Manager for the World Ag Expo, who offered a behind-the-scenes look at the scale, impact, and excitement surrounding the world's largest annual agricultural trade show. Lausten explained that preparations for the event are already in full swing, with massive equipment beginning to roll onto the grounds weeks ahead of opening day. More than 1,200 exhibitors will fill over 2.6 million square feet of exhibit space, showcasing everything from cutting-edge automation and irrigation systems to livestock equipment, soil technology, and farm management tools. One of the most important takeaways from the conversation was that World Ag Expo is far more than just a trade show — it's a major economic driver for the Central Valley. Lausten said the event generates more than $60 million in economic impact for Tulare County, while relying on the support of over 1,000 volunteers who help make the show run smoothly. Those volunteers, easily spotted in bright orange jackets, play a critical role in guiding attendees and keeping operations moving. Education remains a core mission of the Expo. Lausten highlighted the Seminar Center, where attendees can access free educational sessions with paid admission. Topics range from dairy and livestock management to safety, succession planning, and emerging ag technology. She also spotlighted the Women's Conference Pavilion, which returns this year with networking events, cooking demonstrations using California Grown products, and panels focused on women in agricultural technology and leadership. The hosts also discussed how accessible the event is for both farmers and the general public. Lausten emphasized that you don't have to be a grower to enjoy the Expo. Families, students, and community members are encouraged to attend and explore the Ag Ventures Learning Center and Ag Career and Education Pavilion, where young people can learn about the wide range of careers available in agriculture — from drone pilots to agronomists to engineers. Transportation and logistics were another highlight. Lausten encouraged attendees to take advantage of the free Park and Ride system, with locations across Tulare, Visalia, and Exeter, as well as free on-site parking and tram service throughout the grounds. She also stressed the importance of downloading the World Ag Expo mobile app, which allows visitors to plan their day, locate exhibitors, and navigate the massive grounds efficiently. The episode wrapped with reminders about the Expo's famous food scene, run entirely by local nonprofit groups that collectively raised more than $1 million last year, and a final encouragement to come prepared — with comfortable shoes, curiosity, and a full appetite. As Papagni put it, “If you want to see where agriculture is headed next, World Ag Expo is where it all comes together.”
"Get more leads" is NOT a marketing objective.If you've ever rushed through setting your marketing objectives just to get to the "real work," this episode is going to change everything.

Careers place a ton of demand on energy and attention way before results start to stabilize. Many operators discover that health and routine determine how long they can operate at a high level.I spoke with 50 people working in martech and operations about how they stay happy under pressure. This 3 part series – titled “50 Operators share the systems that keep them happy” explores each of these layers through the lived experience of operators who feel the same pressure you probably feel right now.Today we start with part 1: stability through routines, boundaries, and systems that protect the body and mind. We'll hear from 15 people:(00:00) - Teaser (01:05) - Intro (01:30) - In This Episode (04:09) - Austin Hay: Building Non Negotiables (08:06) - Sundar Swaminathan: Systems That Prevent Stress (12:33) - Elena Hassan: Normalizing Stress (14:32) - Sandy Mangat: Managing Energy (16:31) - Constantine Yurevich: Designing Work That Matches Personal Energy (19:05) - Keith Jones: Intentional Work Rhythms (23:58) - Olga Andrienko: Daily Health Routines (26:06) - Sarah Krasnik Bedell: Outdoor Routines (27:21) - Zach Roberts: Physical Reset Rituals Outside Work (28:57) - Jane Menyo: Recovery Cycles (31:56) - Angela Vega: Chosen Challenges and Recovery Cycles (36:09) - Megan Kwon: Presence Built Into the Day (37:50) - Nadia Davis: Calendar Discipline (39:36) - Henk-jan ter Brugge: Planning the Week as a Constraint System (43:15) - Ankur Kothari: Personal Metrics (44:07) - Outro Austin Hay: Building Non NegotiablesOur first guest is Austin Hay, he's a co-founder, a teacher, a martech advisor, but he's also a husband, a dog dad, a student, water skiing fanatic, avid runner, a certified financial planner, and a bunch more stuff... Daily infrastructure shows up through repetition, discipline, and choices that protect energy before anything else competes for it. Austin grounds happiness in curiosity, but that curiosity only thrives when supported by sleep, movement, and time that belongs to no employer. Learning stays fun because it is not treated as another performance metric. It remains part of who he is rather than something squeezed into the margins of an already crowded day.Mental and physical health shape his schedule in visible ways. Austin treats them as operating requirements rather than aspirations. His days include a short list of behaviors that carry disproportionate impact:Regular sleep with a consistent bedtime.Exercise that creates physical fatigue and mental quiet.Relationships that exist entirely outside work.Hobbies and games that feel restorative rather than productive.These habits rarely earn praise, which explains why they erode first under pressure. In his twenties, Austin chased work, clients, and money with intensity. He told himself the rest would come later. That promise held eventually, but the gap years carried a cost. He remembers moments of looking in the mirror and feeling uneasy about the life he was assembling, despite checking every external box.Trade-offs now anchor his thinking. Austin frames decisions as equations involving time, energy, and outcomes. Goals demand inputs, and inputs consume limited resources. Avoiding that math leads to exhaustion and resentment. Facing it creates clarity. Many people resist this step because it forces hard choices into daylight. The industry rewards the appearance of doing everything, even when the math never works.“I view a lot of decisions and outcomes in life as trade-offs. At the end of the day, that's what most things boil down to.”Sleep makes the equation tangible. Austin aims for bed around 9 or 9:30 each night because his mornings require focus, training, and sustained energy. He needs seven and a half hours of sleep to function well. That requirement dictates the rest of the day. Social plans adjust. Work compresses. Goals remain achievable because the system supports them.He defines what he wants to pursue.He calculates the energy required.He locks in non negotiables that keep the math honest.That structure removes constant negotiation with himself. The system holds even when motivation dips or distractions multiply.Key takeaway: Daily infrastructure depends on non negotiables that protect sleep, health, and energy. Clear priorities, visible trade-offs, and repeatable routines create careers that stay durable under pressure.Sundar Swaminathan: Systems That Prevent StressNext up is Sundar Swaminathan, Former Head of Marketing Science at Uber, Author & Host of the experiMENTAL Newsletter & Podcast. He's also a husband, a father and a well traveled home chef, amateur chess master.Stress prevention sits at the center of Sundar's daily system for staying happy and effective at work. A concentrated period of personal loss collapsed any illusion that stress deserved patience or tolerance. Three deaths in three weeks compressed time, sharpened perspective, and forced a reassessment of what stress actually costs. Stress drains energy first, then attention, then presence. A career cannot outrun that erosion for long.Control defines the structure of his days. Sundar organizes work and life decisions around what he can actively influence and treats everything else with intentional distance. That discipline reduces noise and preserves energy. The system stays practical because complexity invites self-deception.Work within control receives effort, follow-through, and care.Work outside control receives acknowledgment and release.Outcomes matter, but the quality of effort matters more.Emotional reactions get examined instead of amplified.That repetition builds resilience as a habit rather than a personality trait. Over time, the body learns that urgency does not improve outcomes, while steadiness often does.Long-term thinking provides ballast when short-term chaos shows up. Sundar frames happiness the way experienced investors frame capital. Daily decisions compound quietly. Some weeks produce visible setbacks. The trend still moves when investments stay consistent. He invests daily in relationships, energy, and directionally sound choices. Moving his family to Amsterdam followed that logic. The decision carried friction and uncertainty, yet it expanded daily happiness in ways that cautious planning rarely delivers.“If you keep investing in yourself and the relationships that matter every day, the long-term trend moves up.”Priorities reinforce the system. Sundar grew up with career dominance baked into identity. Family now anchors that identity with clarity. That hierarchy shapes calendars, boundaries, and energy allocation. Work performance benefits from this structure because focus sharpens when limits exist. Activities that drain energy lose priority quickly. Unhappiness spreads fast and contaminates every adjacent part of life.Environment completes the infrastructure. Daily systems matter as much as mindset. Living in a place where flexibility exists without negotiation removes friction before it forms. Parenting logistics do not create anxiety. Time away from work does not require justification. Many expat families notice similar relief because daily life carries less ambient pressure. When systems support people, stress loses room to grow.Key takeaway: Sustainable careers rely on daily infrastructure that prevents stress before it accumulates. Clear control boundaries, long-term thinking, and supportive environments create stability that protects energy and compounds over time.Elena Hassan: Normalizing Str...

In this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael welcomes Wendy May, Marketing Manager for the Frederick County Economic Development Authority, and Dan Myers, owner of Paladin Bar and Grill, to discuss how this initiative has transformed the local dining landscape. Recording from Paladin's original Stephens City location, the trio explores what makes this year's event particularly special. From COVID Recovery to Community Catalyst The story behind FredCo Eats reveals a strategic response to challenging times. Wendy explains that the Economic Development Authority launched the program five years ago as the region emerged from the pandemic. At that time, the organization recognized a critical gap in their community relationships—they needed stronger connections with local restaurants and agricultural producers. Rather than creating a standalone event, however, the EDA developed FredCo Eats as an umbrella brand. This approach allows the initiative to serve as a messaging hub that elevates existing efforts across the entire food economy, from farm crawls to agricultural conferences. Now, the brand is expanding into a standalone website at fredcoeats.com, which will launch in March as a comprehensive resource for anyone looking to start, scale, or expand a food or beverage business in the region. Diverse Dining Options for Every Palate This year's lineup demonstrates remarkable variety in both cuisine and participation style. Restaurants can choose from three categories: multi-course menus, meal deals, or promotional discounts. This flexibility ensures that food trucks, cafes, and fine dining establishments can all participate in ways that make sense for their operations. Among the multi-course menu participants, diners will find Carrabba's Italian Grill, Clem's Kitchen, Curry Cuisine, P2 at Woolen Mill, Paladin, Sal & Gino's, and Vault and Cellar. Meanwhile, meal deal options include Blue Ridge Baking Company, Daily Buzz Cafe (at both Middletown and Stephens City locations), Donut Dive food truck at Weber's Nursery, and Franklin's Smokin Barnyard, also operating from Weber's parking lot. Additionally, the roster features Jordan Springs Market, Laurel Cafe at Laurel Ridge Community College, Mi Ranchito, Paco's Market and Paco's Mexi Mart, Pan D Endz Jamaican Cuisine, Poblanos, Shaffer's Barbecue and Market, both Shawnee Springs Market locations, and West Oaks Farm Market. Rounding out the list, Bam Bam's Barbecue food truck, Italian Touch, and Touch of Italy offer percentage-off promotions. The Original Gangsters Eight establishments have participated every single year since the program's inception, demonstrating their commitment to the community initiative. Both Paladin locations, Vault and Cellar, Daily Buzz, Jordan Springs Market, Paco's Market, Shaffer's Barbecue, and Bam Bam's Barbecue have been there from day one. Paco's journey particularly exemplifies the growth Restaurant Week has witnessed. Starting as a food truck called Paco's Tacos during the first event, the business has since expanded to include Paco's Market and later Paco's Mexi Mart - a testament to how local food businesses can thrive with community support. Local Sourcing Takes Center Stage Dan shares his enthusiasm about this year's special approach at Paladin. For the fifth anniversary, his team is focusing heavily on local sourcing, partnering with West Oaks Farm Market for beef, Spring Valley Greens, obtaining mushrooms from his cousin Jessica Neff at Apple Hill Farm, and incorporating microgreens from Robbie D's operation. Furthermore, Dan reveals that Paige Cross at Farm to Fork (formerly Flour and Water) in Woodstock supplies all the bread for Paladin's restaurants—a behind-the-scenes collaboration that many diners never realize exists. These partnerships not only enhance menu quality but also circulate dollars throughout the local economy. The Stephens City location will feature meatballs, cast-iron cornbread, and locally sourced ingredients, while P2 in Clearbrook will offer a completely different, yet similar menu, including scotch eggs, bruschetta, mushroom carbonara, and duck—proteins that rarely appear on local menus. More Than Just a Meal Restaurant Week offers participants the chance to win prizes through a passport program. Diners who collect stamps from three or more participating restaurants can enter drawings for prize packs, with each additional stamp beyond three counting as an extra entry. The more restaurants you visit, the better your chances of winning. Passports are available for download and printing at fredcoeats.com, with limited physical copies available at participating restaurants and the Winchester Frederick County Convention and Visitors Bureau. If diners forget to get a stamp, they can submit a photo or receipt as proof of their visit. Beyond individual participation, the event encourages businesses to support one another. Realty companies and other local businesses often bring lunch back to the office or take their teams out during Restaurant Week, creating a "biz-to-biz" camaraderie that strengthens the entire community. Strategic Timing and Lasting Impact The decision to schedule Restaurant Week during the last week of January proves strategic on multiple levels. This timing addresses the natural lull that restaurants experience after the holiday season but before Valentine's Day, providing a much-needed boost during slower months. Moreover, it gives diners a compelling reason to venture out during cold, dark winter evenings when staying home feels more appealing. For restaurant owners like Dan, the event creates exciting internal dynamics as well. His teams at the Stephens City and Clearbrook locations engage in friendly competition throughout the week, tracking which location sells more of each menu item. This competitive spirit energizes staff and drives creativity in menu development. Wendy notes that over the five years, Restaurant Week has fostered genuine relationships among participating restaurants. What began as simple cross-promotion has evolved into restaurant owners visiting each other's establishments, trying menus, meeting staff, and building lasting professional connections that extend well beyond the event itself. Looking Ahead As FredCo Eats enters its sixth year of planning, the initiative continues expanding its mission. The upcoming fredcoeats.com website will serve as a central hub connecting aspiring food entrepreneurs with resources from the county, state, and federal levels, including financing options, contacts at the Extension office, the Small Business Development Center, and the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. This evolution reflects the program's broader vision: creating a sustainable ecosystem where homesteaders can learn to scale their backyard operations, food trucks can transition to brick-and-mortar locations, and established restaurants can continue growing—all while maintaining the unique character that makes Frederick County's food scene special. Registration for future Restaurant Weeks remains open year-round, with the event consistently scheduled for the last Monday of January. As Wendy emphasizes, the more the community supports local establishments, the more these businesses can thrive and maintain the distinctive flavor that sets Frederick County apart.

As a Canadian therapist in private practice, you are probably often needing to send and receive sensitive, private information. How often have you worried about these documents' security and safety? What should you do to secure email communications and keep unnecessary stress at bay? This is where Hushmail comes to the rescue. For less than $20 CAD per month, you can completely insure, assure, and secure your entire email inbox, including your forms and signatures. They pride themselves on security and simplicity, leaving you with a solution that you can start using right out of the box from the minute to sign up. In this episode, I chat with Anabeli about everything to do with Hushmail. We answer your questions and provide clear solutions to help you start 2026 with both digital email security and peace of mind. MEET ANABELI Anabeli Jackson is the Marketing Manager at Hushmail, where she leads content strategy and helps therapists understand secure communication with clarity and confidence. She focuses on removing the overwhelm from topics like encryption, compliance, and secure communication so clinicians can protect client trust and stay compliant with confidence.

Her work supports mental health providers across Canada and the U.S. who depend on Hushmail to communicate securely with their clients. Learn more about Anabeli on her LinkedIn profile. In this episode: What is Hushmail? Why Canadian therapists should use Hushmail What encryption is and why you need to use it How you can get started with Hushmail What is Hushmail? 'Hushmail is a secure email platform … built specifically for healthcare and therapy practices. It lets you send and receive secure, encrypted emails, and it helps you build secure forms where you can collect information securely with legally binding signatures - and it's all in one place.' - Anabeli Jackson The two cornerstones of Hushmail are focused on client and clinician security when sending sensitive emails and documents online, and simplicity since you don't need to do any tech implementation yourself! These essential emails and documents are securely sent and kept private and secure by using encryption to protect them. Why Canadian therapists should use Hushmail You may be asking: Why should I pay to use Hushmail instead of the available, free services? The answer is this: Canadian therapists handle highly sensitive information from multiple clients. Using a free email provider simply does not provide enough security and protection, while Hushmail guarantees it. 'We make it really practical to have [your client's private information] safeguarded, because encryption is the one step … that you can put in place to have your information secure … So [Hushmail] supports federal law, but also with provincial privacy laws.' - Anabeli Jackson Hushmail provides the security that you and your clients need to send private information without concern in an easy, simple way. Plus, it is a Canadian company that is PIPEDA and HIPAA compliant! What encryption is and why you need to use it Encryption is essentially a method of scrambling the information contained in emails and documents so that it cannot be understood by any third party, other than the intended recipient. With Hushmail, you have a key that both scrambles and unscrambles the message which only you and your client has access to. '[Encryption] is relevant because nowadays the online risk and cyber security … there's a lot of bad actors out there, and you don't want this information out there. You don't want this information to be seen by people who are not the intended recipients. So, encryption is a very easy way to protect that information.' - Anabeli Jackson How you can get started with Hushmail Take the step now to secure your communications with clients, and save both them and yourself the stress and anxiety of worrying whether the information is safe. And with Hushmail, that peace of mind will not break the bank. For purely email purposes, you can get Hushmail for $16.99 CAD. If you want to include the forms and signatures, it is $24.99 CAD.

New on the Get More Frank Podcast: LIVE with Lopes Season 8 Episode 2 with David Long.This episode is going to offend the right people.If your dealership feels busy but the scoreboard is flat, it is not “the market”. It is reactive leadership, optional standards, and too much complexity. David and I break down what actually wins in 2026 for car dealers: simple execution, real accountability, and an operating cadence your managers can enforce daily.We go straight at the most expensive lie in automotive retail: “we just need more leads.” Lead volume does not fix weak process. New tech does not fix inconsistency. More discount does not fix lost trust. The fix is boring and it works: role clarity, standards with consequences, fast and consistent lead handling, and disciplined follow up. If your store is chaotic, adding more opportunities just exposes the chaos faster.Then we get into inventory acquisition and trade capture. If you want to buy more used cars, increase trade ins, and stop living off walk in traffic, incoming phone calls, and internet leads, you need a real buy center, not a hobby. We talk appraisal volume, appraisal follow up, private party acquisition, trade acquisition, and why the wrong person running acquisition turns a buy center into a money leak. If your acquisition plan is “we'll do it when we have time”, you do not have a plan.We also hit the silent killers inside most stores:Too many priorities, too many meetings, too many exceptions, too many “special cases”, too many handoffs, and nobody owning the outcome. That is how leads get missed, trades get lost, customers get ghosted, and managers stay “busy” while gross and momentum slide.If you are a Dealer Principal, GM, GSM, UCM, Sales Manager, BDC leader, Internet Manager, or Marketing Manager, you will hear exactly why stores lose opportunities even while spending big money on marketing and advertising: slow response time, unclear ownership, inconsistent standards, and a sales process that changes depending on who touches the deal.People ask questions like:Why do dealerships lose leads? Usually it is speed, consistency, and follow up, not “lead quality”.How do I increase trade ins? Increase appraisal volume, tighten follow up, and track trade capture like a real KPI.What is a buy center? A dedicated acquisition operation, staffed and managed like a business, built to buy cars from consumers and maximize trade capture.How do I improve dealership performance fast? Simplify the operating cadence, assign ownership, and enforce standards daily.If you have been searching for any of this, this episode is built for you:dealership leadership training, dealer growth strategy 2026, reactive vs proactive dealership management, dealer accountability, sales management standards, automotive retail operations, BDC best practices, lead handling process, lead response time, appointment setting process, internet sales process, CRM discipline, dealership KPIs, buy center strategy, how to build a buy center, how to buy more used cars, used car acquisition strategy, private party acquisition, trade capture strategy, trade in appraisal process, appraisal follow up process, inventory acquisition, and dealership operating cadence.Quick self audit before you listen:Are your standards written and enforced, or just talked about?Does every lead have one owner, or five “helpers”?Do you measure trade capture and appraisal volume weekly, or guess?Is your buy center run by an A player, or whoever is available?Does your store run on one simple cadence, or a thousand exceptions?
