“Data gives us clarity, but without vision, it can also lead us straight into confusion, fear, and burnout.”In this episode of Business is Human, Rebecca Fleetwood Hession unpacks how the modern workplace obsession with data can quietly disconnect us from purpose, progress, and people. Drawing from neuroscience, scripture, and her years as a coach and consultant, Rebecca explains how a relentless focus on analytics can put our nervous system into overdrive, and shut down the creativity and intuition we desperately need to lead well.Whether you're a manager overwhelmed by spreadsheet demands or a leader asking for one more dashboard to feel in control, Rebecca makes the case for returning to a more faith driven way of decision making. She reminds us that it wasn't spreadsheets that parted the Red Sea, it was vision, belief, and divine guidance.In this episode, you'll learn:How to recognize fear-driven leadership patterns masked as controlWhat neuroscience says about balancing analysis with intuitionActionable ways to reconnect to your purpose, your team, and your faithThings to listen for:(00:00) Intro(00:43) 90-Day summer reset program(01:25) The pitfalls of data overload(05:34) Balancing data with vision and intuition(11:20) Practical action plans for leaders(16:19) Measure your life by what God can achieveConnect with Rebecca:https://www.rebeccafleetwoodhession.com/

This week on Revenue Rehab, Brandi Starr is joined by Maddie Bell, CEO and Co-founder of Scheduler AI, who believes “the real risk isn't in the dark funnel—it's failing to deliver when the buyer finally raises their hand.” In this episode, Maddie challenges the industry's obsession with “speed to lead,” urging revenue leaders to prioritize “speed to first conversation” with AI-driven, buyer-centric engagement. She warns that outdated playbooks and one-way automation are leaving revenue on the table, while today's buyers self-educate and expect immediate, meaningful interaction. Will Maddie's call for rethinking the moment of engagement change your strategy—or change your mind?  Episode Type: Problem Solving  Industry analysts, consultants, and founders take a bold stance on critical revenue challenges, offering insights you won't hear anywhere else. These episodes explore common industry challenges and potential solutions through expert insights and varied perspectives.  Bullet Points of Key Topics + Chapter Markers:  Topic #1: Dark Funnel Obsession—Are Revenue Teams Focusing on the Wrong Problem? [01:10]  Maddie Bell argues that while the industry is fixated on the challenges of the dark funnel and invisible buyer research, the true risk lies elsewhere: "The real risk isn't what you can't see, it's what you fail to act on when the buyer finally makes themselves known." She challenges CMOs and CROs to shift resources away from just uncovering hidden intent and instead ensure their processes and tech are ready for the critical moment buyers raise their hand. Brandi aligns with this shift, probing what readiness really entails and how companies can retrain their focus accordingly.  Topic #2: Personalization at Scale—Why Automation Isn't Enough [13:36]  Maddie claims that traditional personalization methods—triggered email sequences and static nurture paths—have reached their limits due to the sheer number of signals and permutations needed. She challenges the industry to move beyond guessing with automation: "It's just really hard to personalize for a person without asking them about themselves again, without starting a two-way conversation." The discussion centers on the need for AI-driven, dynamic conversations to achieve true personalization, not just more sophisticated drip campaigns.  Topic #3: AI as the Connector—Transforming Handoffs and Sales Structure [28:38]  Maddie boldly asserts that AI agents are poised to revolutionize not just engagement, but the very structure of sales teams and revenue processes. She explains, "If you have the AI routing, you can create intelligent loops that essentially solve the leak across the pipeline..." prompting leaders to rethink their approach to sales specialization, handoff rigor, and marketing-sales alignment. Brandi challenges the scalability and organizational implications, sparking discussion on how revenue leaders should sequence process improvement before layering on AI.  The Wrong Approach vs. Smarter Alternative  The Wrong Approach: “I think they look for solutions to new things rather than solving problems that again, they already have. Right. Because at the end of the day, if we're already making buyers wait hours, days, if we follow up at all, just solving that in the near term is going to get you a measurable pipeline win now without having to re redo and try all this new stuff that you don't really know where it's going to go.” – Maddie Bell  Why It Fails: Chasing after new, untested solutions distracts teams from addressing the core issues already affecting buyer engagement. If companies ignore existing process gaps—like long response times—they miss out on immediate revenue gains and risk investing in initiatives that may not address their current challenges.  The Smarter Alternative: Focus first on quantifying and solving existing friction points in the buyer journey, such as reducing wait times and ensuring prompt follow-up. By tackling these proven problems, organizations can unlock measurable wins and lay a stronger foundation before experimenting with new tools or strategies.  The Most Damaging Myth  The Myth: “The moment they raise their hand visibly is the start of the process.” – Maddie Bell  Why It's Wrong: Many go-to-market teams treat the buyer's visible hand-raise—like filling out a form—as the beginning of engagement. But as Maddie points out, buyers actually start their process much earlier, often spending significant time researching and self-educating long before giving up their information. This myth leads companies to ignore the vast majority of prospects who never fill out a form (97%), missing opportunities to start conversations earlier and losing out on pipeline growth.  What Companies Should Do Instead: Recognize that the buying journey begins well before formal hand-raising. Invest in strategies and technologies that identify and engage buyers earlier—well before they submit a form—by leveraging intent signals, enabling frictionless conversations, and reducing reliance on traditional gates. This proactive approach captures more of the market and improves the probability of converting ready buyers.  The Rapid-Fire Round  Finish this sentence: If your company has this problem, the first thing you should do is _ “Measure it. Find out how many balls are getting dropped. Quantify the problem so you can actually solve it and measure success.” — Maddie Bell What's one red flag that signals a company has this problem—but might not realize it yet? “You're pushing out a lot of one-way communication, and buyers aren't converting—or when they finally respond, you're too slow to engage. If buyers ignore your outreach or you fail to respond within 1–2 minutes, that's a big sign.”  What's the most common mistake people make when trying to fix this? “Chasing new cool solutions instead of fixing today's problems—like slow or missing follow-up. Start by solving existing gaps to create quick pipeline wins before adding new tools.”  What's the fastest action someone can take today to make progress? “Start more conversations—and use AI for fair, objective, helpful buyer interactions that move them to the next step, ideally a team meeting. But don't rush the process; let AI qualify and route effectively.”   Buzzword Banishment  Buzzword Banishment: Maddie's buzzword to banish is "speed to lead." She dislikes this term because, in her view, it has become disconnected from what buyers actually want. Maddie argues that organizations have reduced "speed to lead" to a KPI or automated process—like quickly assigning a lead to a rep or sending out email sequences—rather than prioritizing a meaningful, timely first conversation that aligns with the buyer's needs and expectations. She advocates replacing it with "speed to first conversation" to ensure engagement is genuinely valuable to the buyer.  Links:  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maddiebell/  Podcast: https://www.scheduler.ai/nextgen-gtm-podcast  Business: https://www.scheduler.ai  Subscribe, listen, and rate/review Revenue Rehab Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts , Amazon Music, or iHeart Radio and find more episodes on our website RevenueRehab.live

Dr Grouse: This is Dr Katie Grouse. Today I'm interviewing Dr Sachin Kedar about his article on symptomatic treatment of neuro-ophthalmic visual disturbances, which appears in the April 2025 Continuum issue on neuro-ophthalmology. Welcome to the podcast, and please introduce yourself to our audience. Dr Kedar: Thank you, Katie. This is Sachin Kedar. I'm a neuro-ophthalmologist at Emory University, and I've been doing this for more than fifteen years now. I trained in both neurology and ophthalmology, with a fellowship in neuro-ophthalmology in between. It's a pleasure to be here. Dr Grouse: Well, we are so happy to have you, and I'm just so excited to be discussing this article with you, which I found to be a real treasure trove of useful clinical information on a topic that many find isn't covered enough in their neurologic training. I strongly recommend all of our listeners who work with patients with visual disturbances to check this out. I wanted to start by asking you what you hope will be the main takeaway from this article for our listeners? Dr Kedar: The most important takeaway from this article is, just keep vision on your radar when you are evaluating your patients with neurological disorders. Have a list of a few symptoms, do a basic screening vision, and ask patients about how their vision is impacting the quality of life. Things like activities of daily living, hobbies, whether they can cook, dress, ambulate, drive, read, interact with others. It is very important for us to do so because vision can be impacted by a lot of neurological diseases. Dr Grouse: What in the article do you think would come as the biggest surprise to our listeners? Dr Kedar: The fact that impairment of vision can magnify and amplify neurological deficits in a lot of what we think of as core neurological disorders should come as a surprise to most of the audience. Dr Grouse: On that note, I think it's probably helpful if you could remind us about the types of visual disturbances we should be thinking about and screening for in our patients? Dr Kedar: Patients who have neurological diseases can have a whole host of visual deficits. The simplest ones are deficits of central vision. They can have problems with their visual field. They can have abnormalities of color vision or even contrast sensitivity. A lot of our patients also complain of light sensitivity, eyes feeling tired when they're doing their usual stuff. Some of our patients can have double vision, they can have shaky vision, which leads to their sense of imbalance and maybe a fall risk to them. Dr Grouse: It's really helpful to think about all the different aspects in which vision can be affected, not just sort of the classic loss of vision. Now, your article also serves as a really important reminder, which you alluded to earlier, about how impactful visual disturbances can be on daily activities. Could you elaborate a little further on this, and particularly the various domains that can be affected when there are visual disturbances present? Dr Kedar: So, when I look at how visual disturbances affect quality of life, I look at two broad categories. One is activities of basic daily living. These would be things like, are you able to cook? Are you able to ambulate not just in your home, but in your neighborhood? Are you able to drive to your doctor's appointment or to visit with your family? Are you able to dress yourself appropriately? Are you able to visualize the clothing and choose them appropriately? And then the second category is recreational activities. Are you able to read? Are you able to watch television? Are you able to visit the theatre? Are you able to travel? Are you able to participate in group activities, be it with your family or be it with your social group? It is very important for us to ask our patients if they have problems doing any of this because it really can adversely impact the quality of life. Dr Grouse: I think, certainly with all the things we try to get through talking with our patients, this may not be something that we do spend a lot of time on. So, I think it's it is a good reminder that when we can, being able to ask about these are going to be really important and help us hit on a lot of other things we may not even realize or know to ask about. Now, I was really struck when I was reading your article by the meta-analysis that you had quoted that had showed 47% higher risk of developing dementia among the visually impaired compared to those without visual impairments. Should we be doing more in-depth visual testing on all of our patients with cognitive symptoms? Dr Kedar: This is actually the most interesting part of this article, and kind of hones in on the importance of vision in neurological disorders. Now I want to clarify that patients with visual disorders, it's not a causative influence on dementia, but if you have a patient with an underlying cognitive disorder, any kind of visual disturbance will significantly make it worse. And this has been shown in several studies, both in the neurologic and in the ophthalmological literature. So, I quoted one of the big meta-analysis over there, but studies have clearly shown that if you have these patients and treat them for their visual deficits, their cognitive indices can actually significantly improve. To answer your question, I would say a neurologist should include basic vision screening as part of every single evaluation. Now, I know it's a hard thing in, you know, these days when we are literally running on the hamster wheel, but I can assure you that it won't take you more than 2 to 3 minutes of your time to do this basic screening; in fact, you can have one of your assistants included as part of the vital signs assessment. What are these basic screening tools? Measure the visual acuity for both near and distance. Check and see if their visual field's off with the confrontation. Look at their eye movements. Are they able to move their eyes in all directions? Are the eyes stable when they're trying to fixate on a particular point? I think if you can do these basic things, you will have achieved quite a bit. Dr Grouse: That's really helpful, and thanks for going through some of the standard, or really, you know, solid basic foundation of visual testing we should be thinking about doing. I wanted to move on to some more details about the visual disturbances. You made an excellent point that there are many types of primary ophthalmologic conditions that can cause visual disturbances that we should keep in mind. So maybe not things that we think about a lot on a day-to-day basis, but, you know, are still there and very common. What are some of the most common ones, and when should we be referring them to see an ophthalmologist? Dr Kedar: So, it depends on the age group of your patient population. Now, the majority of us are adult neurologists, and so the kinds of ophthalmic conditions that we see in this population is going to be different from the pediatric age group. So in the adult population, we might see patients with uncorrected refractive error, presbyopia, patients who have cataracts creep on them, they may have glaucoma, they may have macular degeneration, and these tend to have a slightly higher incidence in the older age group. Now for those of us who are taking care of the younger population, uncorrected refractive errors, strabismus and amblyopia tend to be fairly common causes of visual deprivation in this age group. What I would encourage all of our neurologists is, make sure that your patients get a basic eye examination at least once a year. Just like you want them to go to their primary care and get an annual maintenance visit, everybody should go to the ophthalmologist or the optometrist and get a basic examination. And, if you're resourceful enough, have your patients bring a copy of that assessment. Whether it is normal or there's some abnormality, it is going to help you in the management. Dr Grouse: Absolutely. I think that's a great piece of advice, to think of it almost, like, them seeing their primary care doctor, which of course we offer encourage our patients to do, thinking of this as another very important piece of standard primary care. If a patient comes to you reporting difficulty reading due to possible visual disturbances, I'm curious, can you walk us through how you would approach this evaluation? Dr Kedar: It is not a very common presenting complaint of our patients, even in the neuro-ophthalmology clinic. It's a very rare patient that I see who comes and says, I cannot read or, I have difficulty reading. Most of the patients will come saying, oh, I cannot see. And then you have to dig in to find out, what does that actually mean? What can you not see? Is it a problem in your driving? Is it a problem in your reading? Or is it a problem that occurs at all times? Now you asked me, how do you approach this evaluation? One of the things that all of us, whether we are neurologists, ophthalmologists, or neuro-ophthalmologists, forget to do is to actually have the patient read a paragraph, a sentence, when they are in clinic. And that will give you a lot of ideas about what might actually be going wrong with the patient. Now, as far as how do I approach this evaluation, I will do a basic screening examination to make sure that their visual acuity is good for both distance and near. A lot of us tend to do either distance or near and we will miss the other parameter. You want to do a basic confrontation visual field to make sure that they do not have any subtle deficits that's impacting their ability to read. Examine the eye movements, do a fundoscopic examination. Now, once you've done this basic screening, as a neurologist, you already have some idea of whether your patient has a lesion along the visual pathways. If you suspect that this is a problem with, say, the visual pathways, ask your ophthalmology colleague to do a formal visual field assessment, and that'll pick up subtle deficits of central visual field. And lastly, don't forget higher visual function testing or cortical visual function testing. So basically, you're looking for neglect, phenomenon, or simultanagnosia, all of which tends to have an impact on reading. So, in the manuscript I have a schema of how you can approach a patient with reading difficulties, and in that ischemia you will see categories of where things can go wrong during the process of reading. And if you can approach your patient systematically through one of those domains, there's a fairly good chance that you'll be able to pick up a problem. Dr Grouse: Going a little further on to when you do identify problems with loss of central or peripheral vision, what are some strategies for symptomatic management of these types of visual disturbances? Dr Kedar: As a neurologist, if you pick up a problem with the vision, you have to send this patient to an eye care provider. The vast majority of people who have visual disturbances, it's from an eye disease. You know, as I alluded to earlier, it can be something as simple as uncorrected refractive error, and that can be fixed easily. A lot of patients in our older age group will have dry eye syndrome, which means they are unable to adequately lubricate the surface of the eye, and as a result, it degrades the quality of their vision. So, they tend to get intermittent episodes of blurred vision, or they tend to get glare. They tend to get various forms of optical aberration. Patients can have cataracts, patients can have glaucoma or macular degeneration. And in all of those instances, the goal is to treat the underlying disease, optimize the vision, and then see what the residual deficit is. By and large, if a patient has a problem with the central vision, then magnification will help them for activities that they perform at near; say, reading. Now for patients with peripheral vision problem, it's a different entity altogether. Again, once you've identified what the underlying cause is, your first goal is to treat it. So, for example, if your patient has glaucoma, which is affecting peripheral vision, you're going to treat glaucoma to make sure that the visual field does not progress. Now a lot of what happens after that is rehabilitation, and that is always geared towards the specific activities that are affected. Is it reading? Is it ambulating? Is it watching television? Is it driving? And then you can advise as a neurologist, you can advise your occupational therapist or low vision specialist and say, hey, my patient is not able to do this particular activity. Can we help them? Dr Grouse: Moving on from that, I wanted to also hit on your approach when patients have disorders of ocular motility. What are some things you can do for symptomatic management of that? Dr Kedar: So, patients with ocular motility can have two separate symptoms. Two, you know, two disabling symptoms, as they would call it. One is double vision and the other is oscillopsia, or the feeling or the visualization of the environment moving in response to your eyes not being able to stay still. Typically, you would see this in nystagmus. Now, let's start with diplopia. Diplopia is a fairly common presenting complaint for neurologists, ophthalmologists, and the neuro-ophthalmologist. The first aspect in the management of diplopia is to differentiate between monocular diplopia and binocular diplopia. Now, monocular diplopia is when the double vision persists even after covering one eye. And that is never a neurological issue. It's almost always an ophthalmic problem, which means the patient will then have to be assessed by an eye care provider to identify what's causing it. And again, refractive error, cataracts, opacities, they can do it. Now, if the patient is able to see single vision by covering one eye at a time, that's binocular diplopia. Now, in patients with binocular diplopia in the very early stages of the disease, the standard treatment regimen is just monocular occlusion. Cover one eye, the diplopia goes away, and then give it time to improve on its own. So, this is what we would typically do in a patient with, say, acute sixth nerve palsy or fourth nerve palsy or third nerve palsy, maybe expect spontaneous improvement in a few months. Now if the double vision does not improve and persists long term, then the neuro-ophthalmologist or the ophthalmologist will monitor the amount of deviation to see if it fluctuates or if it stays the same. So, what are the treatment options that we have in a patient who absolutely refuses any intervention or is not a candidate for any intervention? Monocular occlusion still remains the viable option. Now, patients who have stable ocular deviation can benefit from using prisms in their glasses, or they can be sent to a surgeon to have a strabismus surgery that can realign their eyes. So, again, a broad answer, but there are options available that we can use. Dr Grouse: Thank you for that overview. I think that's just really helpful to keep in mind as we're working with these patients and thinking about what their options are. And then finally, I wanted to touch on patients with higher-order vision processing and attention difficulties. What are some strategies for them? Dr Kedar: These are frankly the most difficult patients that I get to manage in my clinic, simply because there is no effective therapies for managing them. In fact, I think neurologists are far better at this than ophthalmologists or even neuro-ophthalmologists. In patients with attentional disorders, everything boils down to the underlying cause, whether you can treat it or whether it is a slowly progressive, you know, condition, such as from neurodegenerative diseases. And that tailors our goals towards therapy. The primary goal is for safety. A lot of these patients who have visual disturbances from vision processing or attention, they are at accident and fall risk. They have problems with social interactions. And, importantly, there is a gap of understanding of what's going on, not just from their side but also from the family's side. So, I tend to approach these patients from a safety perspective and social interaction perspective. Now, I have a table listed in the manuscript which will go into details of what the specific things are. But in a nutshell, if your patient has neglect in a specific part of the visual field, they have accident risk on that side. Simple things like walking through a doorway, they can hurt their shoulders or their knees when they bang into the wall on that side because they are unable to judge what's on the other side. Another example would be a patient who has simultanagnosia or a downgaze policy, such as from progressive super nuclear policy. They are unable to look down fast enough, or they are simply unable to look down and appreciate things that are on the floor, and so they can trip and fall. Walking downstairs is also not a huge risk because they are unable to judge distances as they walk down. A lot of what we see in these patients are things that we have to advise occupational therapists and help them improve these safety parameters at home. Another thing that we often forget is patients can inadvertently cause a social incident when they tend to ignore people on their affected side. So, if there is a family gathering, they tend to consistently ignore a group of people who are sitting on the affected side as opposed to the other side. And I've had more than a few patients who've come and said that, I may have offended some of my friends and family. In those instances, it's always helpful when they are in clinic to demonstrate to the family how this can be awkward and how this can be mitigated. So, having everybody sit on one side is a useful strategy. Advise your family and friends before a gathering that, hey, this may happen. And it is not because it is deliberate, but it's because of the medical condition. And that goes a lot, you know, further in helping our patients come out of social isolation because they are also afraid of offending people, you know. And they can also participate socially, and it can overall improve their quality of life. Dr Grouse: That's a really helpful tip, and something I'll keep in mind with my patients with neglect and visual field cuts. Thank you so much for coming to talk with us today.

In this episode of Maintainable, Robby speaks with Joe Masilotti, an independent consultant who helps Rails teams ship mobile apps using Hotwire Native.Joe shares his perspective on what makes software maintainable—especially for consultants who need to onboard quickly. He explains why setup scripts often add unnecessary complexity, and how he evaluates a project's maintainability by how quickly he can go from clone to coding.Robby and Joe also discuss how hybrid mobile development can offer faster delivery, fewer bugs, and better long-term flexibility—especially when teams reuse their existing Rails web views. Joe explains how Hotwire Native allows teams to incrementally introduce native features without rewriting their entire app.Whether you're maintaining a mobile shell built two years ago or just starting to explore native development, Joe offers actionable advice on setting expectations, scoping client work, and navigating modern mobile tech stacks.⏱️ Episode Highlights[00:01:17] Onboarding as a Measure of MaintainabilityJoe shares how quickly he can spin up a Rails app often reflects how maintainable it is.[00:05:12] Being a Good Guest in Someone Else's CodebaseJoe outlines his ideal onboarding checklist and how he adapts to unfamiliar environments.[00:08:00] Setting Communication and Collaboration ExpectationsThe three questions Joe asks every client to understand how their team works.[00:13:02] Offering Opinions—Only Where InvitedWhy Joe stays scoped to the work he's hired for, even when tempted to fix more.[00:14:15] When Technical Debt Enters the ConversationJoe explains how debt discussions usually emerge after version one is shipped.[00:15:33] Who Should Read Hotwire Native for Rails DevelopersJoe describes the type of developer his book is written for and what it covers.[00:18:01] Choosing Native vs. Hybrid for Your Rails AppA framework comparison based on your current frontend architecture.[00:20:00] Introducing the Hotwire Native MindsetWhy logic belongs on the server and the client should stay thin.[00:21:00] Bridge Components: How Rails, iOS, and Android ConnectJoe walks through how native and web technologies pass data between layers.[00:24:00] Why Even a Web View-Based App is Worth ShippingThe practical benefits of discoverability, push notifications, and native APIs.[00:28:01] Replacing Unmaintainable Apps with Hotwire NativeJoe describes how hybrid rewrites often reduce mobile code by 90%.[00:31:33] Letting Go of Feature ParityWhy most clients end up cutting features they originally wanted to preserve.[00:32:18] Scoping and Estimating Project-Based WorkHow Joe uses repeatable patterns to price fixed-fee consulting engagements.[00:35:15] Using AI to Translate Between Tech StacksJoe shares how he leverages LLMs to explore unfamiliar languages like Kotlin.[00:42:26] Long-Term Maintainability and When to Touch the CodeWhy some apps don't need changes for years—and that's okay.[00:43:43] Why Hybrid Apps Are Easier to ReplaceJoe explains why hybrid apps are often more disposable and less risky than monolithic web apps.

3D scanners are not always cheap, but here's why they might still be worth your money.3D scanning is changing the game for motorsport and custom fabrication, and tools like the Peel 3 scanner are bringing that capability to a more affordable level. In this interview from SEMA, we speak with Gabrielle Williams from Peel 3D/Creaform about how this tech works, where it's most useful, and what enthusiasts need to know before diving in.Use ‘PODCAST75' for $75 off your first HPA course here: https://hpcdmy.co/hpa-tuned-inThe Peel 3 offers an impressive 1.25 million measurements per second (try doing that with your tape measure!), with around 1mm of accuracy loss over 4m, plenty for reverse engineering and CAD work in automotive applications. For more precision, positioning targets (tracking dots) and scanning sprays like Magnaflux and AESUB supply help solve the usual problems with reflective or transparent surfaces.The Peel.CAD software acts as the bridge between scan data and usable CAD models, allowing users to extract entities and create features like cones, planes, and shells for use in software like Fusion 360 or Solidworks. While traditional CAD can't work directly with scan meshes, Peel.CAD simplifies this post-processing step.If you're wondering whether your system can handle it, Peel recommends a Windows 10/11 PC with at least an Intel i7, RTX 3070 GPU, and 32GB of RAM. Pricing starts around $12,300 USD including the software, putting it within reach for serious workshops and dedicated enthusiasts.

 In this episode, Dan dives into the real edge that separates pros from amateurs: tracking. Whether it's your fitness, sleep, screen time—or your trades—if you don't measure it, you can't improve it.

He also explains a common and destructive habit: averaging down, and why it's like giving a raise to your worst employee. This is your call to get serious about trading—like a professional, not a gambler. What You'll Learn: Why journaling and data tracking are essential for trading success The true meaning of trading expectancy and how to use it Why small losses are part of the game—and how to make them count Why doubling down on losers is the fastest way to blow up your account The difference between being a trader and a gunslinger Why TradeTrak exists (and how it eliminates your excuses) Want more trading insights?

In this episode of the Onya Mic podcast, Ashley discusses the importance of conducting a mid-year marketing checkup. She emphasizes the need to assess current marketing goals, measure performance metrics, and understand shifts in consumer behavior. The conversation also covers the necessity of reevaluating budgets and ensuring that messaging aligns with current consumer sentiments. Ashley encourages listeners to take this opportunity for a reset and to reach out for support if needed.     Takeaways Consider this your mid-year marketing checkup. It's important to assess your current results with marketing goals. What doesn't get measured, doesn't matter. Measure progress based on recent checkpoints, not competitors. Consumer habits and preferences are shifting, especially in an election year. Reevaluate your budget and resource allocation based on performance. Your messaging must be consistent with current consumer behavior. People buy based on their emotions, not just logic. This is the perfect time of year for a reset in your marketing strategy. Look at where you want to be and where you are now.

In The Measure of Progress: Counting What Really Matters, Dame Diane Coyle argues that traditional measures like GDP no longer capture economic realities.Coyle is the Bennett Professor of Public Policy at the University of Cambridge. She is also the director of the Productivity Institute, a fellow of the Office for National Statistics, and a member of the UK's Competition Commission. Drawing on her deep expertise, she proposes an alternative framework for measuring productivity that enables better policymaking.In her conversation with Nikolaus Lang, global leader of the BCG Henderson Institute, she discusses the shortcomings of GDP—such as a lack of accounting for immaterial goods or natural capital, alternative measures of progress, and how corporate leaders should rethink their approach to measurement.Key topics discussed: 01:32 | The shortcomings of GDP as a measure of productivity09:14 | The issues of inflated GDP statements11:12 | Alternative measures of productivity and progress13:47 | A time-based approach to measuring productivity16:39 | How productivity measurement works in practice18:57 | Implications for corporate leadersAdditional inspirations from Diane Coyle:Cogs and Monsters: What Economics Is, and What It Should Be (Princeton University Press, 2021)GDP: A Brief but Affectionate History (Princeton University Press, 2015)The Soulful Science: What Economists Really Do and Why It Matters (Princeton University Press, 2009)Sex, Drugs and Economics: An Unconventional Intro to Economics (Texere, 2002)

The ways that statisticians and governments measure the economy were developed in the 1940s, when the urgent economic problems were entirely different from those of today. Diane Coyle argues that the framework underpinning today's economic statistics is so outdated that it functions as a distorting lens, or even a set of blinkers. When policymakers rely on such an antiquated conceptual tool, how can they measure, understand, and respond with any precision to what is happening in today's digital economy? Coyle argues that to understand the current economy, we need different data collected in a different framework of categories and definitions, and she offers some suggestions about what this would entail. Diane Coyle is a Professor of Public Policy at the University of Cambridge and author of The Soulful Science: What Economists Really Do and Why it Matters and GDP: A Brief but Affectionate History. Her new book is The Measure of Progress: Counting What Really Matters. Read Diane Coyle's new article for Skeptic.
