Today I'm fired up from the Spring Workshop and a pretty fantastic concert we had yesterday with my choir in Cookeville, tn. We will share the stories, the people, the late-night brainstorms, the amazing food, and yes... the sea sponges. If you've never been to one, this episode will be a fun listen and if you have - I hope you enjoy the journey through LFTN25.

Weekly Shopping Report I made a trip on Tuesday to Food City for a couple of bags of flour and a 22 lb. bag of Meow Mix (that our cats ask for by name); and Walgreens for the goop I put in my eye at night (“Stye”) so it doesn't dry out. Only the first Tuesday in the month is Walgreens' “senior day,” when Grumpy Old Men (and women) get a discount. For our usual trip, the weather gave us a clear stretch amidst the bands of heavy rain on Thursday. Most people must have decided to wait, as there was little traffic. Dollar Tree was first. They're finally out of the big non-carbonated Monsters I was getting, but there were plenty of other choices. Stock levels throughout the store looked good. Sonia has been able to find some craft items in there lately. We also went to Hobby Lobby for some acrylic paint. We didn't walk around the whole store looking at other stock, but I didn't see empty sections or anything else odd. Things may change with the tariffs on Dragon Country, but not yet. They were “normal-busy” with a short wait to check out. The online price of a 2x4x8 stud at Home Depot is still $3.85. Aldi was last. We found everything we wanted. Staple prices were: bread (20 oz. white): $1.39; eggs: $4.97; whole milk: $2.92; heavy cream: $5.29; OJ: $4.09; butter: $3.49 (-); bacon: $3.99; potatoes: $4.39; sugar: $2.99; flour: $2.35; and 80% ground beef: $4.59. Untainted regular gasoline at Weigels is still $3.59/gallon. Operation Independence I had a great conversation with John Pugliano this week that's helping bring clarity to the next big project here at the Holler. I'm still sorting out the details, but it's one of those moments where a few things click into place, and you realize what really needs to happen next. Hint: It starts with some RV spots. Main Topic: Behind the Scenes at the LFTN Spring Workshop Today I want to pull back the curtain on what really makes the Spring Workshop special—not the agenda, not the official sessions, but the stuff that makes it unforgettable. Glenn's Rum – He always shows up with something we've never tried. This year? It was memorable. Let's just leave it at that. Carnivore Scotch Duck Eggs – Y'all, the food. This isn't your standard workshop fare. It's duck eggs. It's bacon. It's food that fuels you for real work. Alan Booker measuring brix – Alan showed me how to measure brix in my plants, gave me a compliment, then called my leaves "aphid food." And you know what? He was right. Patrick Roehrman's precision strike – My one-of-a-kind MT Knives kitchen knife got used to slice a carpenter bee out of the air. No, really. While it was flying. Emily Zanotti Skyles and the plantain spit war – She left fired up about wild edibles. Her kids? They took that knowledge and turned it into backyard ammo. The greenhouse swim spa debate – We planned to function-stack a greenhouse over the swim spa… and ended up realizing Nicole just needs to bury her electrical lines already. Ian's moment – On his way home, Ian stopped by his family land and decided: it's time. That's the kind of clarity these weekends bring. John Pugliano and Meshtastic – He helped all of us finally understand how Meshtastic works—and why it matters. Leos' pop-up blacksmithing – Did I mention we had a surprise forge session? Because of course we did. Glenn's hamburgers – Day one. Fire. Flavor. No notes. Gavin and the birds – Gavin wandered through the holler like a nature monk with binoculars, pointing out the birds we miss every day. Jack Spirko's bioreactor breakthrough – Sometimes the right fencing and weed cloth are all it takes to spark a better compost design. Community eggs – Between scotch eggs, scrambles, and three separate egg suppliers, we fed the holler crew with ease—and had leftovers. Late-night wrestling matches – You know who you are. I won't name names… this time. Pocket door rescues – Multiple saves were made, but one prepper decided to handle it solo. Mad respect. The sea sponges – If you know, you know. And finally—YOU – The participants. Every single person showed up not just to learn, but to help each other figure out their next chapter. So why haven't you taken your shot? Is it the money? The time? The fear of people? Or do you just think you're not good enough? If it is that last one, take a good hard look at that because you are. You are good enough. You deserve to build your dream. And you can do it - it may look different when you get there than you thought it would, but you can go further - but it takes hard work, strong community and it takes being a DOER. Make it a great week, GUYS! Don't forget about the cookbook, Cook With What You Have by Nicole Sauce and Mama Sauce.

I noted again that the Health aisle was stuffed. In particular. We didn't go in, but the price of a 2x4x8 stud at Home Depot still shows $3.85 online. Aldi was next. We found everything we wanted, but there were only a few bars of my preferred chocolate (70% cacao) left. Staple prices were: bread (20 oz. white): $1.39; eggs: $5.97 (limit 2); whole milk: $2.92 (+); heavy cream: $5.29; OJ: $4.09 (+, and very little); butter: $3.75; bacon: $3.99; potatoes: $4.39; sugar: $2.99; flour: $2.35; and 80% ground beef: $4.59.

My guest this week is Shelly Palmer, who's an award winning composer, inventor, author, educator and a leading voice in technology. He is also an expert in Ai and it's integration into the workplace. Shelly began his career as a composer for television, working with hundreds of brands, agencies, broadcasters, publishers and tech platforms on advertising and marketing campaigns such as Meow Mix, Burger King and The City of Las Vegas. He was honored at ASCAP's 13th Annual Film and Television Awards in the category of “Most Performed Television Themes.” He holds a patent for the underlying technology for Enhanced Television that's used by programs such as ABC's Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and ESPN's Monday Night Football, which led him to pivot his career into technology. He is currently a Professor of Advanced Media in Residence at Syracuse University's S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications and CEO of The Palmer Group, a consulting practice that helps Fortune 500 companies with technology, media and marketing. Shelly also covers tech and business for Fox 5 New York, and is a regular commentator for CNN and CNBC, and he offers a series of free technology courses via his Metacademy. During our interview we spoke about growing up in a music store, how a used synthesizer got him into the jingle business, how one of his patents took him from music into the world of technology, why AI is a skills amplifier, and so much more. By the way, I learned a lot about AI from Shelly's free Metacademy, which is something that you should check out. I spoke with Shelly from his studio in New York City. On the intro I looked at how the RIAA's recent revenue numbers might be misleading.

Frank Murphy is joined by his friend Kathryn Frady of Marble City Opera. Frank says he is more comfortable on Diva Daylight Time. Frank was reminded of Kathryn when he heard a mention of Sazerac cocktails and when he used an empty whiskey bottle as a flower vase. In last Tuesday's Einstein Simplified show, Frank was in a singing game called Three-Headed Broadway Star. Jessica Brackeen, Sara Grace Peglow, and Frank each sang one word at a time. Kathryn's upstairs air conditioning unit isn't working properly. She thinks the repairman has not been up to the attic, where he would see the creepy painting of a child that has been there since before Kathryn and her husband moved in. She discussed it a year and a half ago in podcast episode 0025, “Attic Painting Ghost Girl” which can be seen at https://youtu.be/uP019i2sjNY Kathryn asked Frank to record a video of Marble City Opera's “Stalactites, Sopranos, and Stilettos" concert in order to make fifteen-second clips for social media. Frank recorded the entire one-hour concert rather than be responsible for choosing which fifteen seconds to record. Frank enjoyed the performance of Rossini's "Duetto buffo di due gatti” (The Cat Duet), which Kathryn rearranged as a trio to sing with Jacquie Brecheen and April Hill. A brief video clip is included. Frank tried to AirDrop the one-hour video to Kathryn but there wasn't enough memory on her iPhone. He offered to show her how to go to Settings, General, iPhone Storage, Messages, Review Large Attachments and then delete a few files but she wanted no part of it.

You can also get several of Sam Venable's books, signed by the author and the new book by former UT counsel Ron Leadbetter. Dr. Bill Bass turns 95 on August 30, which is also “Missy Barrett Day: A Day to Do Good Deeds.” Frank received a Facebook message from the fictional character that said: “So, Mr. Frank, are you going to help out on International Missy Barrett Day: A Day To Do Good Deeds on Wednesday, August 30th by doing more good deeds than usual and telling people why you're doing more good deeds than usual and asking them to do more good deeds than they usually do?” Learn more at https://missybarrett.wordpress.com/ At a Marble City Opera production at the Old City Performing Arts Center, Frank and his wife sat behind an older woman who could not access the electronic program on her phone. Kathryn loaned her iPad to the woman, who accidentally tapped the messages icon. Frank could see that she was now reading a text conversation between Kathryn and Frank. Kathryn heard from a friend that their high school band was having a reunion. The friend told Kathryn that there is a private Facebook group with many photos, including several that include Kathryn. She makes Frank try to find her in three group photos. Subscriber April wore her Frank & Friends Show bucket hat to the “Stalactites, Sopranos, and Stilettos" concert. Jere took a photo of April with Frank and Kathryn. Sign up for a 30-day trial of Audible Premium Plus and get a free premium selection that's yours to keep.

One of the things that I've noticed is fairly common in people who come out later in life is just how much of a hurry they are in to experience ALL of the queer shit they've missed out on... And that is what happened to this week's guest, podcaster and voice-over artist Phil Corin, who, upon realising that they may not be heterosexual was on a mission to make their way to the New York City lesbian bar Meow Mix (1996 - 2004). And once they got in to the bar? Well, the gloves were off, but you'll have to listen to the episode to find out the whole story... In this episode we chat all about coming out tactics, lesbian pulp fiction, and.... our complicated feelings about single-gender spaces... Do you have any memories of Meow Mix, or maybe a bar or a club from your own scene that you want to share? Well, if you have please get in touch - I want to create the biggest online record of people's memories and stories - go to www.lostspacespodcast.com and find the section 'Share a Lost Space' and tell me what you got up to! Bonus points for embarrassing photos! You can also find me on Facebook (www.facebook.com/lostspacespod), Instagram (www.instagram.com/lostspacespod) and Twitter (www.twitter.com/lostspacespod) Find out more about Phil by visiting their website, https://philcorin.com/, or following them on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/philcorin/).

We took our first trip on Sunday, which is different than our usual time on Saturday. This could affect stock levels, depending on store schedules, however I saw no large changes that could mean a deeper problem. Traffic was rather heavy; I'd have thought it would be lighter on Sunday. It did not look like churchgoers, at least not dressed in their "Sunday Best." Dollar Tree was first. They were looking a little unkempt. Stock levels didn't look too different, but were a little lower in some shelves in the food aisles. Other than some browsing, I think I just grabbed a drink in there. Home Depot was next. The store was weekend-busy. There was plenty of stock all around. A 2x4x8 remains at $3.35. Aldi was next. We found everything we wanted, including heavy cream. While I didn't see any new price jumps, the bill was certainly higher than it used to be. Food City was last. I got one of only three 16 lb. bags of Meow Mix (that our kitties ask for by name), a box of Friskies cans, and a 2-pack of waste-free peanut butter. Just that was $61. Maybe we should get some Vaseline... Today's trip included Walgreens and Weigels (gas). Walgreens is affiliated with Kroger. Think convenience-store pricing but a larger selection. Two sections of coolers were covered, indicating new products coming soon. I was there for Rx; we don't get food there, but it would be a backup backup source if things got desperate. A gallon of untainted regular gasoline remains at $3.999. Frugality Tip from Janet I have one of these and it works for more than just ketchup; I use it for shampoo and anything else that will fit. https://www.amazon.com/Barproducts-com-Inc-KS-Ketchup-Saver/dp/B00FG8S1NO Operation Independence Pretty sure “Tweedle Dum” (T calls her Amy I believe) is going to give birth this week Main topic of the Show: The Break in Breakthrough What is the word of the year Why do I do it How to Find Your Wod of the Year What is the TRAP of each word Why I chose Breakthrough Q1 Lesson: BREAK - as in shatter all the things House breaks Relationship breaks and boundaries Personal, internal break Awareness of breaking in the world The OTHER kind of Break What I am doing about it Well, what CAN I DO?

Episode 673 - What is My 2023 Word of the Year? Today is our last Monday Show until after the New Year is upon us! In keeping with tradition, I will share with you the word of the year, why it was chosen, and what I hope it will mean - even though we all know we find different lessons along the journey. I will also let you know what is happening during the time between Christmas and New Years for content.

Not only that, but it won't overheat in the summer months! How's that possible? Find out by watching the Truly Passive Greenhouse movie: https://permies.com/link/lftn Email feedback to nicole@livingfreeintennessee.com Tales from the Prepper Pantry Every Nook and Cranny in the deep freezers are stuffed, as is the fridge with things to cook (Managed to decommission the two outdoor appliances) Almost through the potatoes from the garden (had half a bushel) End of year restock is primarily complete Christmas Dinner from the pantry: Leg of lamb, roasted turnips and carrots, charcuterie and pickled things (Holler Neighbor Style) In purge mode for a last push before the end of the year - lost the crap, keep the things we use Weekly Shopping Report from Joe The first stop was Walgreen's for some vitamins. Stock was mostly good, but there was only one left of a large size of "D," so we had to choose another size in order to use their buy one get one free. Food City was next. Dry cat food was very limited, but they had a couple of 16 lb. bags of Meow Mix. They had a lot of Friskies boxed cans, so we added a box of those too. Dollar Tree was next. We found some large 9Lives cans in there for the first time in months, and grabbed a few; not all our cats like those. The frozen food coolers were really sparse and most of the drink coolers are back to being nearly empty; I think it's the worst I've seen it. The health aisle is beginning to look picked again, but most other areas looked well stocked; there were less unrefrigerated canned drinks though. Both of the two lines they had open extended back into the aisles. Same at Home Depot, which I ran in just to check the price of a 2x4x8. It's still $3.75. I did not look over any other areas, but it was fairly crowded, as spending season is at its peak. Aldi was last. We got a few extra things in case we decide to put off next week's shopping, but grocery crowds shouldn't be too bad, so we'll likely go. We found what we wanted, including heavy cream. I didn't see any notable holes, but both lettuce and grapes did not look as good as usual. Untainted regular gasoline remains at $3.999. Frugality Tip from Margo Here's a frugality tip on one of the most valuable things to me.....MY TIME (AND SANITY). For your holiday menu plan it out a month or so in advance. Gather the things you need and start cooking some things early and freeze it (and then take it out of the freezer the day before to thaw) Make sure you have all of the things you need the week before the holiday. I did not make rolls this year, I bought rolls and put them in the freezer, FYI Hawaiian rolls freeze and thaw very well. And save your sanity during the holidays and keep a stocked pantry y'all! Operation Independence The 3% checking account, emergency fund, and discipline Night Before Christmas Countdown Replay episode will not be replays - start your 2023 on the right foot. The importance of downtime. Main topic of the Show: What is my 2023 Word of the Year No year has ever been so hard as this year for finding the right word. Even last night, I knew the concept but not the word. Part of the problem is that I knew the concept I wanted but was not finding a single word to describe it. And the two word option I had was only a close fit, not the full breadth of what I wanted to focus on. What is a word of the year? Why do it? Past words: Grow (It is a choice and it is up to me) Balance (You have to want it and boundaries) Courage (The power of no. Letting go of insecurities. Sooner is better.) Then we have this year. I strove for MORE. I worked harder. I played harder. I undid every lesson I leaned in the year of balance. I GREW my businesses. I made it over a really important personal hump: Increased cash flow to where I could finally take some from the businesses. What the last five years have been like building LFTN and Holler Roast Coffee. Had to have the courage to Say no to things I was doing to earn money but that are distractions from the primary objective Address conflict head on Openly admit weaknesses Stand my ground Build personal talents from good to great Become unapologetic Where it has led - Priority on things that are important to me on the non business side like the food forest, redoing my bathroom, box seats at the symphony, hiking, relationships More opportunities of the kind I want I am singing rock n roll again Poised for fast growth The words that did not change: Step-change, 10x What it means Problem: Balance So what could I do? There is a glass ceiling that is not ok and I need to break it. It isnt due to my gender, my background, my level of education or what anyone thinks of me. It is there because of me. My mindset. My perception of what is possible. My hangups. The glass ceiling is of my own making. The worst part is this: It is glass so I can see through it. There are lots of reasons why it is there. Every one of them is an excuse. The other side of that glass ceiling looks great. I want to go there. But there is this glass ceiling that needs to be broken. And the cool thing about glass is that it will break. And 2023 is the year I break it. With whatever I can use to do so. My hands, a hammer, a rhinoceros, my head. Whatever it takes. For every word there is a flip side too: The sharp shards that will hit me as I make my way through the glass. I expect that to be there too. So my word of the year, which encompasses both the goal to move beyond my perceived constraints. The word that also prioritizes balance and priority to my spirit, body and heart. The word for 2023 is . I don't know exactly how things will go, but I am excited to start, have already started. And you will see the first steps in January This is the last non-interview podcast before the break so rather than our usual closing, I leave you with this - Make it a great break yall. GUYS!

A poisonous cat climbs into the body of another cat, escapes onto a crime yacht with some sexy coeds and proceeds to commit its own vigilantism. Its full on cat justice! So let's get to the point - Uninvited is sheer ridiculousness. Its a GREAT bad movie. Every aspect of this thing is exactly what you're signing up for, especially if you like baffling and non-frightening movie monsters. Plus you've stacked all that with Stinker hall of famers Greydon Clark, George Kennedy and Clu Galager. Supplementing the cast is a very hot and totally 80's fashioned Clare Carey that went on to be the wife of Coach. Damn you Craig T. Nelson!!!! So the cat - its very unclear on what the cat is. Best we can piece together is that there is a cat with a chip on its shoulder from being medically experimented on, gains some super powers, finds another cat and crawls inside it to disguise itself as just a precious little housecat so that it can get the Meow Mix. It's just a total misunderstanding that the cat is a monster - it's just out there enacting cat justice against some really bad people. Leave the experiment kittie alone! It just wants a nice home like we all do, dammit! Instead, 3 Garys find a couple bang ladies who have access to a yacht owned by an embezzling (?) villain and his man mountain henchmen/business partner. On the way to the Caymans, the cat breaks the boat (loud noises pisses cats off) and so they get picked off one by one for just being horrible people (except Clare Carey - she gets a pass for being too hot). Once the climax begins, buckle in because its one of the most ridiculous and hilarious endings in bad movie history. This isn't just a do, its a mega do.

Once in a while, we reach into the THN mailbag and discover a letter of such exquisite abhorrence that we set our delicate egos aside and grant a listener center stage as Epistolary First Chair of Hate. Such is the case with poor Steven of Urbandale, Illinois, who at the local grocery store recently battled Handicapped Hilda plus an army of social workers and police officers for the honor of his self-soiled elderly mother. (Shh. Don't tell anyone that Steven keeps his ma locked in the back 40 shed and only feeds her Meow Mix.) Co-host Arik follows this G.O.A.T. Hate Letter—only to be upstaged by sound engineer Pauly from Bali's carafe o' beer. Arik wades through the suds, then tells a St. Patrick's Day rideshare horror tale of drunken zombie college students, who, just the night prior, attacked his poor Kia and left him for dead, whilst Officer Doolittle and his assistant Brenda whistled Dixie and gave each other pedis. THN PSA: Please don't mob-kill your Uber driver, even if he's not wearing green. Also, thanks for nothing, St. Patrick. You just had to return to the island of your tormenters to show them Jesus. Just so you know, so many centuries later, all it resulted in was an SUV mirror getting whacked by a four-sheets-to-the-wind freshman, and the near drawing and quartering of a perfectly innocent cabbie. So, Paddy, thank you for bringing the world one step closer to “The Purge.” Pauly from Bali next directs our attention toward proper disgust: with the world on the verge of a major extinction moment, why the holy bleep are restaurants and cafes providing takeaway materials to in-house guests?! Also, we don't need 8 million plastic straws for our beverages! Are you trying to make the Pacific Garbage Patch bigger than the Great Red Spot on Jupiter?!

Shortage on Meow Mix 12/14/2021
Meow Mix Arrived! 12/16/2021
There's always been an unspoken attitude in the world of social media and now in influence marketing that advertising, or at least its philosophies and priorities, does nothing but muck everything up. Social media, and it's immediate by-product of influencers and thus influence marketing, was, in essence, a way for consumers to push back against advertising. We were tired of brands just yelling their messages at us all the time and not listening, as well. Markets are conversations, said the Cluetrain. So forgive me for the soap box, but that kind of biases a lot of us to think that someone with that advertising background is out of place in the world of influencer marketing. At least so the stereotype would tell you. But Justin Kline is not a stereotypical anything. He started out managing ads for the Drudge Report, then managing the placement of ads for the sharing app Add This. So he sees the world of advertising form multiple perspectives. Nowadays, Justin runs Markerly, an influencer marketing agency that takes his experiences in the advertising world to advise and deploy attention-getting campaigns for clients. Markerly and Justin came to my attention when they ran the Meow Mix Remix campaign for the cat food brand and engaged pet influencers on TikTok and other channels to help re-think how Meow Mix is thought of by consumers. I asked him to join us to take us through the irony of an ad guy now running a firm on the influencer side of things, what it's like to work with pet influencers and much more. I love bringing different perspectives to the table for our discussions and this is certainly one of them. Today's episode is sponsored by Tagger. It is a complete influencer marketing solution. You can find out more for yourself at jason.online/tagger. We've been talking recently to Meredith Jacobson, an independent influencer marketing consultant who was on a past episode of the show, to tell you about how she uses Tagger with We are Boosters.

He reminisces on his first trip to Nashville, brought by Phil's sister, and getting to see some of his songwriting idols perform at The Bluebird before meeting Phil at the same cellar they're recording this episode in. They connect over the importance of honing the songwriting craft, as the greatest success lies in the greatest songs. Ramsey shares stories of meeting his country music heroes early in Old Dominion's career, including both comedic and generous run ins with Charlie Daniels and Trace Adkins. He performs one of their smash hits, “Make It Sweet,” with Phil after telling the story of it's last minute creation. Matt dishes the inside scoop behind the creation of their hilarious Meow Mix album - a joke which was not instantly recognized by their record label.

Welcome back to ArtBeat Radio! In today’s episode, we interview the first completely virtual music therapy intern, and most recent graduate, Marie. Listen in as she shares about her internship, her life, and creates a jingle with the ABR crew. Art Beat Radio Jingle was written with the Art Beat Radio class at ART. They began class with watching examples of famous commercial jingles such as Kit-Kat Bar, Meow Mix, and In-N-Out. The class then discussed elements of a podcast that would be important to include in the jingle such as: listening, subscribing, learning, etc. The class then voted on what style of music they wanted the jingle to be, choosing relaxed over fast paced. Each student gave input on lyrics depending on the important elements they had discussed about podcasts at the beginning of class. Each student also made additional instrumental choices which included rhythm sticks, shaker, tambourine, snapping, and vocal choices. The song was recorded and students’ voices were recorded and included in the recording.

The holidays are just around the corner, and we all know what that means: Christmas songs on the radio and holiday jingles in just about every store. But there's one kind of traditional jingle we aren't as likely to hear these days: the commercial jingle. If you used to wish you were an Oscar Mayer wiener, if the best part of waking up was Folgers in your cup, if you were ever stuck on Band-Aid brands because Band-Aid's stuck on you, then you probably grew up in the heyday of advertising jingles. So, whatever happened to those jingles? Do they still have a place in audio branding, or have the Toys R Us kids all grown up? In many ways, jingles were the first step in the history of audio branding, and they're much older than you might think. If you know the Muffin Man or can sing along to Hot Cross Buns, then you're already familiar with the jingles of the colonial era. Those rhymes started with vendors in the Middle Ages who had to find ways to make their street cries stand out and get people's attention. That meant short, simple phrases often set to music, and the fact that we can still recite some of those rhymes today shows just how well they worked. With the invention of radio came the modern jingle. Now vendors had to grab and hold the attention of millions of people, and General Mills did just that in 1926 with a barbershop song called "Have you Tried Wheaties." That one commercial turned Wheaties sales completely around in the Twin Cities market, and when the company aired the song nationwide the following year, Wheaties went from a failing brand to a household name. Want to hear the jingle that started it all? Here's a link to the original ad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLy5tANvXhY Other companies quickly caught on and started coming up with their own musical numbers, and the jingle era was born. From radio to television to the internet, jingles became pretty much synonymous with audio branding. Promoting a brand meant giving it a jingle, whether it's the Chiquita banana song, the singing Meow Mix cats or Coca Cola teaching the world to sing. But things began to change around the turn of the millennium. Those catchy earworm jingles started to disappear. In 1998, 12% of television ads featured jingles; by 2011 it was just 2.5%. But if commercials weren't using jingles, what were they using? For the most part, they were now using licensed songs. This wasn't a completely new development; those medieval street cries were often set to popular folk songs of the era, and the "Have You Tried Wheaties" jingle borrowed its tune from the 1919 song "Jazz Baby." Michael Jackson ushered in a whole new era of melding pop music and advertising with his "Pepsi Generation" commercials set to the tune of "Billy Jean," and ten years later Microsoft borrowed the Rolling Stones' "Start Me Up" as its anthem for Windows 95. What did change is that advertisers were no longer relying on famous musicians and recognizable songs. More and more often, the commercials featured smaller artists and songs that many viewers hadn't heard before. With DVR and streaming content rendering the old 30-second TV spots obsolete, the focus shifted to simply engaging the viewers and convincing them to keep watching the ad. Without a captive TV audience, advertisers needed those viewers to like and share their commercials. One way to do that is by promoting new music that might get people talking and, more importantly, watching. For a great discussion of the rise and fall of jingles, check out this Cheddar Explains video "The Unexpected Death of the Ad Jingle": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUhJ3f72PRc But as new media continues to evolve, jingles are making a surprising comeback. Online ads, often just a few seconds long, have allowed companies to create musical brands that immediately stand out despite their length. Just think of McDonald's and its wildly successful "I'm Lovin' It" theme, or how State Farm's "Like a Good Neighbor" jingle has...

Host Will Presti sits down in the Hamptons with ad legend and author Jerry Della Femina. Said to be the inspiration for the hit TV series Mad Men, Jerry's New York agency, Della Femina, Travisano and Partners, worked hard and played harder. In the 1950s and 60s he led the advertising revolution to full swing with a determined fun loving swagger and creative spirit. And like it or not, there was no such term as “politically correct.” A great story teller, Jerry shares how he started as a delivery boy, built a global agency over three martini lunches, and how he got that Meow Mix cat to sing. Jerry Della Femina is the original mad man. Listen now. #jerrydellafemina #madmen #advertisinglegend #digitentpodcasts

Transcript Jason: [0:24] Welcome to the Jason and Scott show this is episode at 222 being recorded on Tuesday June 9th 2020 I'm your host Jason retailgeek Goldberg and as usual I'm here with your co-host Scot Wingo. Scot: [0:39] Hey Jason and welcome back Jason Scott show listeners today on the show we are really excited to have someone that is ripped from the headlines. While we were doing our little pre-show I Got a notification that Amazon had an all-time high right now at 2 5 5 2555 eight five five so that's interesting number and here we are in episode 2 2 2 I don't know what all that means I'm sure there's some some conspiracy theory in there and that's because yesterday one of the top internet analysts put out a comprehensive internet Report with some really juicy survey data and as part of the outcome of that he raised his price Target to a street high of $3,300 for Amazon so we've been trying to get on the show and it worked out that because of this report we were able to get him on here real quick so we're really excited to have rbc's managing director Mark mahaney as our guest welcome mark. Mark: [1:31] Hey good to be here thank you Scott. Jason: [1:33] Mark we're thrilled to have you and obviously Scott and I are both super familiar with you and and read all of your stuff but for some of our listeners that may not be as familiar with you can you give us the kind of. The quick highlights of your career and what you do for RBC. Mark: [1:50] Well I'm the oldest and longest lasting internet analysts on Wall Street I say that when I walk into Starbucks I still don't get a discount. But it is true I started in 98 the first week was his company called the eBay that called the office that where I worked at Morgan Stanley and was trying to get through to the lead analyst and they wanted somebody to understand and listen to the story and so I did my best to try to understand it way back then shortly thereafter. I met Scott Wingo so you know both of those were key events in in my life and I've tried to understand. Internet stocks for the last 20 20 22 years now. So that's that includes the e-commerce giants like Amazon and eBay and some smaller named Stitch fix and chewy online ad names like Google and Facebook Snapchat Pinterest and then a bunch of interesting one off so the travel names like booking in Expedia Netflix Spotify like media subscription names like that so I've got a group of there six of us in San Francisco we do our best to stay on top of each of these stocks it's a fascinating industry and that's what that's the day job. Jason: [3:01] Fun fact understanding eBay is really difficult but understanding Scot Wingo is even more challenging. Mark: [3:11] Yes. Scot: [3:12] Yeah and he hasn't Mark you haven't aged at all. Mark: [3:15] That's right same you and me we both actually look younger. Scot: [3:18] Absolutely yeah I think we can agree on that so let's dig in this report you put out yesterday it was really fascinating I've kind of been through it several times the overarching theme was really kind of understanding covid Trends so maybe we'll start there then of course we'll look at kind of the Amazon called that you got out of that what What did the what did the survey kind of surface for you as it relates to kind of covid-19 and what's that doing for e-commerce short and long-term. Mark: [3:43] Look I Eileen pretty heavily on consumer surveys most of the stocks companies I look at our consumer-facing so you have to understand what consumers think about these companies and how their positions have evolved over time and this was our 8th Annual so we can do it for eight years. [4:00] Amazon for 22 years but for the last eight years we've been surveying people we have a decent sized it's all in the US which is that which is a limitation because obviously at least half of Amazon's businesses overseas but we want to try to see what people think about Amazon whether their satisfaction is rising or falling intentions to purchase on Amazon what people are buying on Amazon how much they span are frequently and then we as you pointed out Scott like this isn't happening in a vacuum this year this is happening in. [4:26] During that you know the hopefully the only pandemic of our lives and an event that's had dramatic implications I think is almost been like like a huge billboard for online retail the necessities of purchasing products online the the benefits of purchasing products online too so we thought this the survey would show our assumption was that it would show an accelerated shift to e-commerce it did there's plenty of data out there from the Department of Commerce from companies like I mean my phone is data point of a frankly of last month is that eBay is now growing its gmv general merchandise volume or value I forget which one but it's growing it by 25% eBay hasn't grown at that level in over a decade it says something about how much of a boost to e-commerce as covid crisis has been we all want to shop we all need to shop we just can't go out so we're shopping from home and anyway that's one of the things that came through in the. The survey we saw record high levels of purchases online of frequency and spend and not by the way not just with Amazon but with other companies to. Jason: [5:35] That's amazing I think one of the common conversations I've had with clients is. You know we see that big spike and then you know the magic question is how much of that spike is permanent right like I would imagine you don't expect that eBay is going to be able to maintain that. That 28 percent GMP growth for example. Mark: [5:56] Yeah no I wouldn't expect it and I think spike is the right way to think about it I think it's a spike though within the trend and Scott knows this and you know this just as well Jason you know we've we've we've gone through the last two decades watching a greater and greater percentage of our spend occurring through online channels we all know this we've all lived through it and so we just had kind of an acceleration in this spend it's almost as if you know every year we were going to bounce up a pointer to in terms of online retail share we're going to go from. 9% to 10% to 11% you know annually and instead what we have would happen with this crisis I think we just you know we just kind of did a leap year like we went from we probably gained 2 to 300 bits of of up share shift from offline to online particularly in some of the more entrenched physical Store retail categories think groceries I think Consumer Staples I think those have really gapped up I'm sure that the rate of your rear growth in online retail will we'll add down we'll wave down a little bit but I think you know it's going to waive down from a higher level and so you know net-net we're going to just see this Rising accelerated adoption of online retail and companies that are in the middle of this obviously Amazon eBay to Shopify there's a couple of these platforms that are going to really benefit from this and you'll see it in their fundamentals and the market is already anticipated all this by bidding these stocks up to all-time highs that's true in the case of Shopify it's true in the case of Amazon. Jason: [7:25] Yeah I like to talk about covid as kind of a time machine that you know may be warped as five years in the future and like five minutes. Mark: [7:33] Yeah I like that. Jason: [7:35] The in so cool so you know that's the opening opening premise of your report is me and we rapidly accelerated adoption of digital shopping and then you know the next big Insight is. In Amazon is particularly for Prime to be the structural winner of this growth can you talk to us a little bit about that. Mark: [7:57] Yeah you know you if you would ask anybody what you know who would be the winner off of a surgeon online retail 9 out of 10 people would have said Amazon anyway and by the way that's pretty consistent with what we see in our survey results we have asked people for years which shopping sites do you use most often and. Nine out of 10 times it's Amazon of the last six years the answer has been 90 percent eighty nine ninety three ninety ninety one ninety one I mean also all those are the percentage of respondents who say they shop on Amazon now they've been some interesting fluctuations below that eBay used to have almost 40 percent of respondents say that it was a site that they commonly used that's that's drifted down the 30% and in the meantime Walmart and eBay really kind of switch places one more stop from 30% as an online site where people that people use most commonly up to now over 40% so very interesting turn there but with Amazon they say very consistently at the top we do see that they ranked highest in terms of things like price selection and convenience particularly notable though is the gap between them and their competitors in terms of selection and convenience based on our survey work there are there is one negative thing I know we're going to get to it in terms of satisfaction. [9:11] But the general results here show increased frequency of purchase greater amount of purchase and then they've got this program called Amazon Prime which I imagine I'm sure the window family has been a long-standing member of. And we saw penetration of that Gap up to record high levels and I reach 67 percent. Amazon earlier this year disclosed that they had about a hundred and fifty million Global Prime subscribers based on the survey work thinking about where the numbers could go we think that they are rapidly approaching they will rapidly approach 200 million by the end of this year that's a lot of people they're more loyal than regular Amazon customers they spend more they spend more frequently it's a it's a great Customer Loyalty program it's a great Revenue loyalty program it's a great prophet loyalty program. Scot: [10:01] And when you say 67 percent that's your survey data or your you okay so. Mark: [10:04] Yes that's right 60 67 percent of it of the internet users that we surveyed our no I'm sorry of am of the people that we surveyed who said they were Amazon customers 67% of those said that they were Prime customers. Scot: [10:19] Yeah yeah yeah I've seen some estimates that have 50 to 60 percent of households that kind of drives right in there. Mark: [10:26] Yeah I know. But I bet you it did Gap up Scott I bet you that's what's really happened you know in the last month or two I'm sure people's purchases on Amazon gapped up I mean we know that they did Amazon reported that in the March quarter and and so I'm I guess is that people realize well if I'm going to be ordering I'm staying at home. And I'm going to be ordering a lot of stuff on Amazon I might as well you know gin up for this Prime program I'm pretty certain that's what happened in that so that fifty six fifty to sixty percent that you see in other reports I mean those no I'm sure all those numbers went up I don't, the truth is probably somewhere in between us all but you know that it definitely it definitely moved up and pretty materially during this crisis. Scot: [11:04] And then as you said it wasn't all sunshine and Rainbows in the survey you saw some interesting feedback on Amazon's customer service satisfaction but would you would find there. Mark: [11:14] Yeah and this is this is a stumper I got plenty of theories but you know it's hard to really know what's what's going on but we do ask these questions about you know we give everybody response to the survey about 1,600 people give them a right variety of options are you extremely very moderately slightly or not at all satisfied and of course you would think that if there you know if they're Amazon customers that probably not going to say they're not at all satisfied because then they wouldn't be Amazon customer so you would expect the skew you know towards the extremely in the very satisfied we've asked this question the same way same you know relatively large sample size over the years and we've seen customer scores come down used to be 88 percent of customers back in 2013 Amazon Customer said they were extremely or very satisfied that now it went down to 64 percent in 2020 and you know it dipped down in 2018 we noticed it and then it just dip down again I think the reasons if our survey is right you know I think it's right you know we try to be pretty objective about this we've done the same question over the years so we do have a long time series here I think there's a bunch of things that are happening one is I'm sure there were some quality issues during the covid crisis are still are it's just hard that for a while though they weren't stocking non-essential. [12:33] Items and then there were delays in getting a lot of products so I'm sure that hurt their satisfaction secondly over the years they have increasingly included a lot of third-party Sellers and I think there may that may have increase the the risk of quality control problems not so much in the delivery but in the actual quality of the product in any customer service around that the product if you if you you know the more sellers you put on that Network you add this selection there's almost always going to be a trade-off in terms of quality 32 company is so big that kind of gets embroiled positively or negatively in kind of local controversies labor regulations taxes things like that so it's just it's become so big it's kind of hard for that stuff not to kind of come up fourth is as they move into categories that are really tough to fulfill and groceries this is the top of the list I think that can create satisfaction problems are for one of one of those people who had a hard time getting a slot for Amazon Fresh and I had one delivery that just didn't come through can't recall ever having that with any other Amazon product that. [13:33] A lot so I think a couple of these things have kind of come together and maybe the ad units that they have in their the sponsored listings products Maybe maybe putting a few too many of those you know in the Amazon shopping results is dinged satisfaction I don't know I just throw out five reasons and they're all just guesses on our part but we do know what the trend is based on our survey data that satisfaction is coming down and this is a serious issue of the company needs to address it we think they can if they don't that will that will impact growth if they can solve it they'll be able to sustain the growth they have. [14:06] But what do you think you think I'm full of baloney. Scot: [14:10] I think you're right but I think I think they can recover I think that they they were not expecting from March 15 April 15 I think they got that 30-day window which is probably pretty around when you did your survey the delivery times really spread out Jason our just talking offline and he got up to three or four days I was out weeks here in North Carolina so we're back to normal now so I think they've added a ton of capacity they don't release numbers on this but I know they bought 20,000 delivery vans I would bet they've doubled or tripled that just kind of anecdotally in my area. Actually know where the center is and just the number of trucks in generally is huge now so I think I think they can recover Jason had some more quantitative data Jason what did you see. Jason: [14:57] Yeah I was mentioning that Marketplace pulse monitors reviews of third-party sellers on Amazon so I you know how satisfied buyers where the bottom these third-party Sellers and. In General on average. There are about 400,000 negative reviews of sellers a month on Amazon that's kind of the Baseline and at the peak of covid those negative reviews went up above 800,000 so my premise there is. Amazon totally curtailed FBA the service level for all these third-party sellers fulfillment went down and there were a lot of negative reviews. And then they also speak with positive reviews of Sellers and in general ninety-four percent of all transactions result in a positive review for that cellar. When people write reviews 94% are positive and during covid that 94% fell down to about 85% so like I think there's. Numerous data points here that are all pointing to the same thing that like. Consumers rush to digital the service level on digital dropped because we weren't prepared for that that level of Spike and that that created some negative. My hypothesis certainly would be Amazon's way better suited than almost anyone else to address those capacity issues and recover from that negative. Mark: [16:25] Okay super. Jason: [16:31] So and like so clearly the retail business for Amazon's in a pretty good place like more people are shopping digitally and as you pointed out for variety of reasons Amazon Super well. Well said it situated structurally the benefit from that transaction. But you also talked a little bit about the other parts of Amazon's business in the mix and you know like from a revenue standpoint that's Amazon web services but increasingly that's. Amazon marketing services like what how are you thinking about those when you when you think about Amazon's growth potential. Mark: [17:08] We've referred to Amazon is the greatest mix shift story in technology and what I mean by that what we mean by that is its fastest growing businesses are its highest margin businesses it's a great position to be in like from a business model perspective the opposite is kind of Google they invented this thing which is probably the highest. Margin business ever that search advertising and anything they went into after that would have lower margins and. You know whether that's hardware or Cloud so for Amazon the makeshift story is they have this retail business that's got you know to 3% operating margins growing at you know 15 to 20% year-over-year a faster now and. [17:56] And then you've got these at this advertising business is just probably 30 percent margins that's growing kind of like fifty percent forty to fifty percent year-over-year it is AWS business which is also got about 30% operating margins it's also growing about 40 percent Thirty to forty percent year-over-year so faster growth businesses higher margins means just your overall margins are going to rise so that's kind of the business model so what of of of Amazon that's why it's got will remember this back in 2014 when for the first time ever Amazon disclosed with the margins were like on its AWS business the stock gapped up the stock re-rated it's almost as if the ticker had been changed from amzn to AWS because the market was so surprised that what they what everybody thought including me that the AWS was just a commodity low-margin business turned out it was a high margin business and that was fundamentally really positive for for Amazon because it suggested this mix shift and the idea that long term you're going to have a nice upward Trend in margins Amazon advertising and Amazon. [19:00] Cloud services they're both you know sizable businesses now roughly 10 billion run rate for advertising little bit more than roughly 30 billion for AWS it's a little bit more than that and again highly profitable 8 m is M Asam is an advertising platform is the third largest generator of advertising outside worldwide you know XX China and when we look at all of the ad platforms during this covid crisis and look to see all of them had material impacts on the revenue growth except one that's Amazon Amazon's advertising Revenue looks like it's going to decelerate but just modestly compared to Facebook compared to Google compared to the trade desk or Pinterest or Twitter or snap. [19:46] So they that that they've got lightning in a bottle there and in AWS the cloud business is probably also a big beneficiary it's probably a structure winner from the covid crisis because of the dramatic Ingham dramatically increased capacity needs driven by work from home driven by remote Computing and there was a wonderful data point by this company called Zoom which has now become a household name or at least a business office name and zoom had eight 20x increase in usage total amount of minutes used unzoom went up 20 x like it's hard to Fathom any business dealing with that kind of surge in demand yet they were able to do it and the reason are able to do it is because their cloud provider is Amazon and Amazon allow them to 20x increase their capacity in order to handle that kind of volume increase I mean you couldn't come up with a better advertisement for the for the durability the flexibility and the end the need for cloud services if zoom-zoom wasn't an AWS if they hadn't used AWS I guarantee you they would have had dramatic blackouts they're start and and you know the follow-on less important but their stock wouldn't their stock could be half of where it is now something like that. Jason: [21:13] Yeah it's interesting on the ad business in particular I wonder and part of the reason that it had a slight deceleration isn't even related to. Potential demand for ads or opportunity platform I wonder if it's tied to the issue we talked about earlier that like. Temporarily Amazon supply chain was constrained and they turned down the service level for all those 3-piece hours and fulfillment by Amazon like if if Amazon tells you you have a non-essential product and they're not going to accept new shipments in their warehouse of your product. You're going to turn off the ads for that problem. And I so you know it's not shocking that that the ad sales decelerated a little bit but I wonder if structurally. Give a bigger percentage of customers are shifting online like Amazon competes with Google and Facebook for Ed dollars but Amazon also competes with. Walmart and Target and billboard providers for ad dollars and I'll bet you know my feeling is permanently. Demand for those ad dollars has has has is likely to permanently shift to Amazon so I think even on ad platforms this might be. Like mostly favorable for them. Mark: [22:25] That makes sense Jason that makes a lot of sense. Scot: [22:30] Also some of your your analyst colleagues out there and I'll full disclosure I'll put myself in this camp at some point they feel like Amazon is going to effectively compete directly with FedEx and UPS meaning you could you know you're in San Francisco you could ship me a package on their Network in North Carolina for like maybe four bucks a package versus the FedEx UPS eight to twelve dollars do you see that happening or you're not in that camp. Mark: [22:57] No I think that's a probability we laid that out did a report a couple years ago called the fourth pillar try to figure out the next business that Amazon would go into I think I got an email back from Seattle right after we published that report as long as something along the lines of you idiot why would you think we just have one more pillar. A couple of things in mind we've written deep deep dive reports on their business to business opportunity you know business supplies that sounds like Logistics to me and Amazon's pretty damn good at logistics for consumers so I not for businesses so I think that build that business is nicely building up I'm curious as to what they'll do in Pharmaceuticals he's physical stores that are these. [23:41] What do they call me every it's not the everything stores the go stores thank you the go stores I thought those aims on goes towards I think that's a really interesting really novel concept that actually solves something it gives you more time well I what a wonderful what a wonderful gift that is and anyway so I think there's a lot of areas that I think they're investing in and you know Amazon shipping Services makes a ton of sense to me I did pitch that to them as the title you know is the name for that segment they just they thought about it for a little bit they didn't like the acronym the thought that would be an odd Summit so they decided to go with something else I think they went with shipping with Amazon SWA that's probably better than what I had thought of and my guess is that that building that that business builds up yeah this is like this strikes me just like Amazon building our physical capacity two. [24:33] To ship goods and services you got excess capacity bring on third-party sellers Amazon built out all this compute on that work to manage its own large needs they have excess capacity go ahead and Retail it as AWS Amazon builds out a distribution Network a fulfillment Network a series of trucks too deliver its own products and then third party products sold on its site well why not do it for third-party products sold on on third-party sites it just seems like a natural extension it's kind of like Amazon is the fixed cost business just they've got such bullish long-term views about how big online retail will be those use of been verified year in and year out that what you want to do is you want to vertically integrate and fix those costs therefore you get super high incremental margins so I think it's you know I think it's inevitable I think they're actually darn close to the size of FedEx now in terms of in terms of units and yeah I would imagine that they'll surpass you know UPS within the next five years in terms of raw shipping volume that include a lot of their own shipments but over time I would think they'd pass them in terms of other people's shipments to. Jason: [25:45] Yeah I think Scott and I both agree even before they get there even before they like try to sell those Services I think. A unsung challenge at the moment is with all this increase digital domain and you know most retailers are talking about like seeing volumes that are similar to their traditional Cyber Monday Black Friday volumes. And who doesn't have capacity to fulfill that demand as FedEx and UPS and so you know Frank right. They've all just tacked on a bunch of surcharges and so if you're any retailer besides Amazon. You know one of the the negatives of all this increase digital demand is you don't really have the ability to fulfill all that demand or at least fulfill it cost effectively. And so owning as much of their own fulfillment as Amazon does is I think another huge structural competitive Advantage it's going to help them take more than their fair share of the digital growth. Mark: [26:39] And it's I agree with you Jason and Scott you ask the question you do you have the same answer that I would have that I just gave. Scot: [26:47] Yeah I think I think they yeah there's some incremental costs yeah taking another packages is almost free at some point when they build out all the infrastructure so so yeah I think they get there it's a question of when I've had it on my annual prediction show for three years and then. I'm sticking to it the one time I take it off is when it will happen so. Mark: [27:08] I'll wait then. Jason: [27:10] Yeah that's a great way to invest in it is wait till Scott get throws in the towel on the prediction show. Mark: [27:15] The contrarian indicator I got it. Jason: [27:17] Exactly I do want to Pivot like you have really seen this industry grow up and there's a lot of interesting non Amazon things going on right now when we talked about in our last show was. Like all of these new Commerce initiatives at Facebook and you know are you falling that at all and what what do you think. Is Facebook going to be a viable player in the Commerce base. Mark: [27:43] I'll give you my opinion I'd love to hear yours we we do a survey of social media companies we've done this semi-annually. I think we've done this for four years now and the last one we published just last week we asked people. [28:04] About their usage of Facebook Marketplace and simple question we found a 51 percent of respondents had used Facebook Marketplace back in November last time we ran it was only 33 percent so there's another e-commerce inflection point we ask how many of you people on Instagram have made a purchase on Instagram 23 percent of users said they had six months ago that was. [28:30] That was fifteen percent so you know this Spike that we've seen in e-commerce is also translated onto these social media networks I'm I'm. I'm I think this is a fast fascinating area of to explore I don't know why they wouldn't be they certainly the traffic now it's not it's not conscious traffic it's not qualified traffic I don't want I want to shop I don't go to Facebook when I want to you know I don't go to Instagram but I happen to be on Instagram and Facebook a lot you can put relevant ads in front of me I just may not be in the mood to shop I'm in the mood to shop when I'm on Amazon so there's always going to be limits but if they but with the traffic they have and if they can get a little bit more of a picture of my commercial intent or not my intent my interest then there's a chance for them to tap into what do you call that impulse shopping and then you so you get that part and what we're seeing in this my raw data there says that there are there is the opportunity to tap into impulse shopping on these sites now you got to go to the other side. [29:39] You're not a vertically integrated Marketplace we are Marketplace bring you down vertically integrated so you better be careful not to put ads up there and. [29:47] And then and then for a product where the inventory quickly sells out and then people are going to remember yeah I try to buy on Facebook and you know that it didn't work so what they need to do is partner with somebody who can really help them with the Fulfillment with the design of the site and they need to make it seamless if I'm clicking on an ad and I got to click over and fill out the address and the credit card information that's friction friction friction but if they can if they can if they can like the one thing I don't know what percentage of people on Facebook have their credit card information stored with Facebook I'm guessing it's less than 1% so that's something that Facebook is going to try to have to incentivize people to give them a rationale a reason for putting a credit card data there that gets them closer to one click and then they need to work with a merchant partner like a Shopify which is what they're doing that can make that that that flow seamless and just make sure you get a picture into the inventory such that you're not showing you know the boots when you don't have them in inventory and can't get them you know with them three or four days to the consumer but I think all those pieces are coming together so yeah I'm increasingly bullish on this opportunity and I think the pieces are coming together like I'm seeing the consumer intent in my survey work I'm seeing them work with the right Partners I haven't seen enough of the actual experience I get I've yet to have that mind-blowing. [31:09] He's of sharp like you know I'm checking out at the grocery store I just all I have to do is reach for the Snickers put it on the put it on the conveyor belt it's not that simple yet but if they get there that's they came make that they won't surpass they won't supplant Amazon by God that won't happen but they'll be able to tap into impulse shopping dollars in a way they haven't before I'm very intrigued by it Scott what do you think. Scot: [31:33] Yeah it's interesting because it kind of you have to kind of loop Shopify into the whole thing so there's there's one school of thought that shopify's essentially the shopping engine for Facebook today in this latest announcement they kind of cut Shopify out a little bit like Facebook's kind of introducing their own check out so it's gonna be interesting to see there's almost kind of like a three-way War kind of here so there's like Shopify which is the Battlestar Galactica ragtag group and then you have the social guys kind of going their own way and then you have the death star of Amazon. I don't know you know it's always so hard for these people to compete with Amazon because of the shipping Logistics they have and the only company in those that list that's investing in that is Shopify so it's going to be really interesting to watch this next leg of e-commerce to see can Shopify. In this made it either on framing but the can Shopify the almost like a counter option to 3p Sellers and Brands against Amazon I think you're seeing a lot of people kind of frame it that way kind of. Famously been what's his name the Strategic review guy he's kind of like setting it up that way but other folks kind of say no it's just this that's not the right way to look at it how do you see Shopify fitting into the overall. I think they've surprised everyone with the amount of growth and the gmv that they're producing so it's hard to count them out at this point. Mark: [32:56] I I am I'm trying to count them in and it's a it's a company in a stock I've been ramping up on aggressively over the last six to nine months I'm very intrigued by what they're doing I like the way they think about. Their business I certainly look at their take rate it's like 1.67 percent. And it's like well wait a second you know that they if they can execute well that take great can double or triple that's a lot of growth in the future so I'm very intrigued by their opportunity some of the things I think are maybe false starts their ability this this app that they have I. [33:33] Just don't think I'm ever going to go to a shop app Shopify app to start my shopping I just and I don't know I signed up for it then I realized I just don't need another notification of when my Amazon packages are coming I already got that by the way and you know Amazon will tell me and then Google will tell me to so I get it I don't like Shopify to tell me one of my Amazon packages are coming but but I'm intrigued by the potential to chop has but probably not as a brand Central approach probably is just the the the enabler of D to C of D to C you know Commerce activities they talked in this last earnings call of of enabling I think was Hines and lint I think those are the two examples that they used to sell directly to Consumers. [34:22] So okay that sounds interesting I just don't think I'm going to go to Hines.com when I want to buy catch up but I'm going to want to buy Hines and so but I'm not going to go to Shopify to find a place where I can buy Heinz I think I know where to buy Hines so I don't know it there's an opportunity there but there's a lot of lot of lot of paths that could go the wrong way for them but they seem to be like a very disciplined management team so I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt we have an out perform on that stock for what it's worth and yeah e-commerce opportunities inflicting up for them as it has for Amazon in this in this covid crisis. Jason: [35:03] Yeah so so you kind of look at this big picture. You have dramatic digital acceleration like it seems like it's you know Amazon and Shopify are both currently poised to benefit from that digital acceleration. What about some of the other digital players like who else do you think ends up being a winner in this like you mentioned eBay had a. Sort of unexpected Spike I also think of Stitch fix and chewy is to of though I. Bigger play you know digital digital folks are they is this Rising tide that's going to lift all boats or. Do you think that they're going to lose share to Amazon and this. Mark: [35:44] Well near-term the rising tide will lift all boats achoo as a company they were Prince earnings after tonight I would think this is a company that dramatically benefits from the covid crisis I saw that Smuckers which owns Believe It or Not owns a large array of pet food products like Meow Mix is in there Kibbles and bits and all your other favorite cat food that they had 60 percent growth year over year in online retail sales I mean you know jeez they're doing that I imagine to he's going to put up some pretty big numbers tonight now they better that stock is really gapped up dramatically but I think they will I think they'll put up I think they'll put up really good numbers you had two Trends there and you know one is that people had to buy pet products and and food and supplies online the second one is just kind of tangential for pet owners like myself there was a Dish been a dramatic move towards pet adoption in the last two months because of shelter-in-place regulations that hadn't occurred to me right away but you know people when they're when they're forced to stay in. [36:48] Indoors like that they look for companionship and that led to a lot of people to a lot of people adopting pets and of course you have to feed the things and well you better you know the you've heard about this thing called chewy and so people signed up so I think they have like a two to three year just accelerated adoption of their services and by the way unlike the rest of retail you know where it is interesting to go in and try out things in stores you know for fashion apparel and you know there's experiential shopping I don't think there's such a thing as pet food experiential shopping so I would think that that's a category that's just right for dramatic acceleration online so I Chuy's the name Stitch fix to is just a couple of question marks we have. Around it like I'm surprised the growth isn't better there but they should benefit Etsy clearly as benefited to and not just because of people buying designer face masks my guess is that there they'll have a sustained acceleration but that's TBD. Jason: [37:45] Yeah it's interesting it's funny like I have to do these briefings and I give all these negative Trends and you know the world is going to end and so the the palate cleanser I always throw in there. Is every pet in every shelter has been adopted it's like the one one sort of feel good story and all this and you're exactly right like. We have the largest cohort of new pet owners in the history of the US and none of them could get their pet food or cat litter or toys. Promised or so. We'll see but I'm expecting that this hats had to be super favorable for chewy and then of course Amazon is also a great competitor in the pets page. Yeah so I think that's a great insight and that's actually going to be a great place to leave it because we've used up our allotted time. But Mark super appreciate you taking time out I know you're in high demand right now and a lot going on and we really enjoyed you sharing some of your insights and your. Mark: [38:42] Jason great talking with you Scott always a pleasure talking with you great to I've learned a lot from Scot Wingo over the last 20 years and I plan to learn a lot more of the next 20 years wish you both and your family's health and safety. Scot: [38:54] It's becoming Mark we look forward to seeing you at a one of your shows when we can get back to traveling and back to normal. Mark: [38:59] Absolutely see you buddy. Scot: [39:01] Until next time. Jason: [39:02] Happy commercing.
Change is inevitable. At some point in your business, you will be forced to change mindsets, habits, or principles. If you want to change your habits, place yourself in a totally new environment, and get used to it as quickly as you can. The more that you restrict yourself or your business in situations like that in short periods, the more you are able to grow! ----- Automated Transcript Below Dean Soto 0:00 Hey, this is Dean Soto, Founder of FreedomInFiveMinutes.com and ProSulum.com P R O S U L U M .com and we're here again with another Freedom In Five Minutes Podcast episode. Today's topic is this: "Getting Used to Your Environment as Quickly as Possible." That and more, coming up. Dean Soto 0:32 Good morning. We're here with the Luna Meister. Luna, are you here? Why are you running away from me? Where are you going? Go get them, Luna. Go get whoever you're sniffing out. Dean Soto 0:44 Good morning. It's starting to get a little warmer here in Central California. And the rain is not coming. What the heck guys the rain is not coming. A very dry season again. Anyway, not to be depressed or depressing at all. Anyway, I just wanted to say good morning to you and do a little podcast. What I like to call a podcast episode. So not too long ago, I had been building this cat house for a while. Dean Soto 1:24 It's a four by four foot wide by eight feet long by I think the top of the cat house is probably around six feet from the very top of the gable. I've been building that thing for a while and I had actually completed it. And it was the first time I ever did a gabled roof. Right? Dean Soto 1:50 If you don't know what a gabled roof is... So, a gabled roof, if you don't know what that is, it's basically like an angled roof with those composite shingles. It's kind of like what you see in every typical suburban house. And it's gabled so that the water runs off it or the snow runs off it and so on and so forth. Right? Dean Soto 2:07 So it's angled. Well, it's the first time I've ever done that. And it was cool. It took a lot longer. There was this one YouTube channel that I watched. And the guy was like, "Yeah, well, it took about a good eight hours to do." Dean Soto 2:22 Of course, he had been building all his life. So he went super fast. Whereas, I literally took like two weeks to do. But it's done. It's awesome. It is fantastic. And so what did we need for this cat house? Well, we needed some cats, right? We need to get some feral cats in there. And I talked about this in podcasts. I talked about this in a couple of things. Dean Soto 2:46 So we were like, you know, where do we get these feral cats? We were looking at the SPCA. We're looking at a bunch of other places and a lot of the time, these are gonna be barn cats. They're cats that are gonna be out and about in a barn right there. Dean Soto 3:01 They are essentially not the type of cats that are going to be in our house as pets and so on and so forth. And because they're barn cats as well, as long as I have my gate, also my fencing all secure and everything like that, they'll be good but you never know. There are coyotes. There are owls. Dean Soto 3:24 I saw an owl last night, and you could hear it. We have great horned owls, we have all these other different things here that would love to snack on a little kitty. And so these places that we wanted to get cats that were looking for a home. As far as I could tell so far, we still keep on looking because we want to get more. Dean Soto 3:53 As far as I could tell so far, these places want you to sign a thing saying you're going to have them indoors. You're going to have them this way. You are going to do that. It's a lot. I mean, it sucks because you think that a lot of these places these cats are just going to end up getting euthanized that sucks. Dean Soto 4:20 You know, why not let the ones that are totally feral — that are not going to go well with a family — let them be workers right here and have a good life. They have some good Meow Mix and some water and some gophers to snack on and they'd be very happy kitties. Dean Soto 4:45 Well, all these places it was just very hard to find any — It was hard to find anywhere where you could get a cat without having all these stipulations and so on. Dean Soto 5:01 Hmm. I think I might be getting a little sick. Dean Soto 5:07 So I go and finally we look at Craigslist. And every now and then I check on it, but we had this lady who had five cats available. Five feral cats were available. And we're like, "Wow, cool." Dean Soto 5:22 So we contact them and these cats are awesome. They could only catch two of them on one day. So we had to come the next day and get the other two. But we have four cats in our cat house. And these are super nice cats I should say. Dean Soto 5:42 I should say this. They are good cats. There is one that is very nice. The other ones aren't used to humans. But one of the things we had to do is we had to literally lock them up in the cat house for about a week and a day — about a week. And why did we have to do that? Why did we have to lock them into the cat house? Dean Soto 6:12 Well, the way that — so cats are very territorial. And the way they get used to a place, you know. If we were to bring them into the cat house and just say, "Hey, here's your new home, they would have bolted and tried to get back to their owners." Dean Soto 6:33 So by putting them in that situation where they literally could not leave that cat house. They were locked up in there you can see their little beady eyes staring out of the little windows and stuff like that. that I put on the thing. Dean Soto 6:47 But there were no exits other than a side door that I built so that we can change our kitty litter. We could do a bunch of other things. So they're stuck in there. I just feel so bad for them. Oh my gosh, those little kitties but the thing was that after about a week I was like, "Okay let's try and let them out." Dean Soto 7:23 So I go into the cat house and I mean they are freaked out because I'm at the cat house and I have my saws off. I'm starting to make holes into these little like six and a quarter-inch holes into the cathouse. So that one on each side, one higher one kind of up high, the other one down low. And, and I made these holes so that they can come and go and actually nothing will be able to — that a predator can go in and get into the cat house. Dean Soto 8:02 I mean the holes are just way too small. So if a coyote or a fox or something like that tries to come in and get it ain't happening. Ain't happening. And so, I'm doing that and the cats are in the corner, they're like, "What is going on? This thing is so loud." Dean Soto 8:25 And I pop one hole, and then I go and do another one on the other side. And all of a sudden, I see that there are only three cats. And I'm like, "Huh, that's interesting." Dean Soto 8:37 And then two cats, and then one cat. And that one cat stayed for a long, long time like it's just sitting there going, "What do I do? What is going on?" And eventually, it left and I never saw a single one again. Dean Soto 8:57 Or so it seemed. So later that night I could not find any of them at all. Dean Soto 9:03 Later that night, I went and put on my headlamp and started going across the property. We have tons of trees, tons of places to hide. So I put my headlamp on. The cool thing about cats is if you shine lights, you can see their eyes. So I'm shining my lights and guess what I see? What I thought was maybe they started running back home. What did I see? I saw four little beady eyes staring at me from different locations. Very, very cool. Which means that they are used to that area. Okay. They were very uncomfortable when they first got there, but they were forced to be in that area for a week. Dean Soto 9:53 And that's something that we — if we want to get used to something — if you want to get used to an idea or get used to a habit we have to do to ourselves... We have to force ourselves to be in a very different spot, a very uncomfortable spot. Dean Soto 10:12 So like when it comes to systems, a lot of the time we have to force ourselves to create those systems and let somebody else do them. Even if it's uncomfortable, even if it seems like "Oh, I could do this way better than this person, I don't trust this person." Dean Soto 10:30 We have to allow it. We have to have the ability to. We have to be okay with letting that environment grow around us. Okay. And so, putting things in places like, "I'm going to create a system a day, and I'm going to delegate all of those processes to somebody and I'm going to let them do it no matter what. And we're going to see what the result is. That is where we have a massive habit change. And we want to have massive habit changes. Dean Soto 11:10 The more that we are able to put ourselves in situations like that and stay in situations like that. The more we're going to grow. The more we're going to see that by doing that, we change our entire environment around us and we get used to it. We get used to those customers on our end, that despite us even forcing them to agree that they will and they don't. They end up having no results or bad results. Or they end up just burning out. Their Virtual Systems Architect or two or three. And we have to cut them off as a customer. Dean Soto 12:09 It's those people who will refuse to put themselves in a brand new environment and stick with that brand new environment that have a hard time getting different results and they've always been getting right. Dean Soto 12:32 So my challenge to you this week is if you want to change a habit, get into a different environment. If you want to get fit, go join a Jiu-Jitsu gym. You know Gracie. Or if you're in Central California, Ultimate Martial Arts. Or whatever CheckMat because now you have accountability with other people. Right? Putting yourself in a different environment or CrossFit gym, something where there's accountability. If it's business, join some kind of accountability group. If it's marriage, start seeing a counselor and agree to a specific amount of time. If it's your spirituality, just sign up for a retreat or something like that. Dean Soto 13:24 I just spilled coffee all over my phone. Please Oh, over my hand. This is Dean Soto Freedom In Five Minutes. I will catch you on the next Freedom In Five Minutes Podcast episode.

Sunday Morning Squirrels: Sunday number two with the new group of students. A little less chaos. But only a little! We continued our series on Purpose from the 1 John series from DYM. It was a good day! Countdown Video: Animal Vines Remember vine? Those were the days. Our countdown video was just tons of animal vines all put together. Animals are funny. Students like animals. Win win win. Games: Quick Draw This game came from DYM's Gold Rush week. The week was incredible, and this game was a lot of fun! Students got into pairs and then had to look at the screen. The video told them what to do and the student who completed the task first won and found a new partner. Quick and easy! Meow Mix Once we got down to four students, we brought them up on stage to play Meow Mix by Anthony Taylor and Sam Peterson. The premise is easy: instead of singing the song on the card, you have to meow it! It's harder hilarious and actually challenging! Songs: Alive Cornerstone Bible Study: We continued the series of Purpose by looking at what it means to abide in 1 John. I didn't use the Big Lebowski reference they included in the lesson and instead talked about houses I've lived in and the switch you always make from calling it "my house" to "my home" and how that means we "abide" there. Check out the study here. Main Idea: Abide with Jesus.

Miss Jaye is back and ready to dive back into the Renovation, this time focused on her tortured history with the males of the species. Opening up with a story about a Tinder match gone right...and then really, really wrong, Miss Jaye working with Jennifer L. Taitz's book, HOW TO BE SINGLE AND HAPPY. Is such a thing possible? Grab a seat and see how Miss Jaye does with this newest volume. Part One: Who's Afraid of the Crazy Cat Lady? Before she gets into either the book or her tumultuous love life, Miss Jaye spends a little time asking the question, "What so bad about being single anyway?" She explores the stereotype of the "crazy cat lady" and gets ready to dive in and found out if her future is filled with hearts and flowers...or bulk orders of Meow Mix. Part Two: Opening the Ex File Here we get a little bit of perspective from Miss Jaye about her 7-year relationship with her ex-husband, what it taught her, and why she never should have gotten married in the first place. Part Three: The Pilot & The Puppy Miss Jaye breaks down the two primary relationships she's been in since her divorce and explores the boundaries of non-monogamous relationships, and how polyamory might fit into her future...and how it relates to her inability to be both single, and happy. Part Four: So...We're Just F@#$%ed?! Finally getting to the book, Miss Jaye learns what science has to say about being single...and finds out that she's probably doing everything wrong in her search for love. Part Five: The Magic 8 Ball In the second half of the book, finally some hope - practical exercises and things you can do if you're single and not happy about it, or if you're in a bad relationship but are too scared of dating to leave. Is this practical advice enough to keep Miss Jaye from running off to join the nunnery?! Part Six: Song For The Lonely Miss Jaye gives her final thoughts and wrap up of the book, including how it might be useful for everyone regardless of their relationship status. You'll find out why she can barely say "emotional intelligence without spitting" and who really IS afraid of the crazy cat lady. Plus, this episode gets a very special dedication. Part Seven: If God Is A DJ Find out more about the special guest who read the opening quote for this episode. He's Miss Jaye's "heterosexual, non-sexual life partner," and he's pretty great. While we're going to be serving up some humor and plenty of snark, mental health is no laughing matter. Nothing in this series is meant to constitute medical advice, and is presented for entertainment purposes only. If you or someone you love is struggling with suicidal thoughts, contact the Suicide Prevention Hotline at 1-800-273-8255 or visit SuicidePreventionHotline.org. We love you.

Charging relatives for your work and dealing with too-narrow dados.
Better Living Through Pheromones Animal Radio® Veterinary Correspondent Dr. Marty Becker is back with the scoop on pheromones. Can the synthetically produced smell be helpful in calming cats and dogs, or is it a waste of money? Pedigree vs. Mutt It's long been thought that mutts are much healthier, both mentally and physically, than those pure bred for pedigree. While there may be some truth to this, it is not always the case. Author Michael Brandow describes how the quest for status has harmed man's best friend. Another Pet Food Merger JM Smucker, the company behind Smucker's Jam, has purchased Big Hearts Pet Brands, which includes Meow-Mix, Milk-Bone, Pup-Peroni, Kibbles 'n Bits and Natural Balance. Recent consolidations mean that only a handful of companies make your pet's food. Perhaps the food will also be sourced and made in the same factories. This may not bode well for the consumer or your pets. Therapy Ducks? Former Ohio National Guardsman Darin Welker uses ducks to treat his PTSD. The town council says he hasn't presented enough evidence that the ducks serve a medical need and that he would face imminent harm without them. Man Finds Dog 18 Months Later Richard Brower's German Shepherd, Dozer, was stolen 18 months ago. He looked everywhere. After a year-a-half, Richard decided to share his home with a new dog. He did an online search for 'German Shepherds for sale,' which led him to the local animal rescue and right there was Dozer on the front page. Zombie Cat in Custody Battle Last week, we had the story of Bart the cat that was hit by a car and buried but was actually still alive. Bart dug his way out and made it to his neighbors yard. Bart is now officially, and fondly known, as the Zombie Cat. If you think his story couldn't get stranger, think again. More this week

>>RF TALKwith DJ sashay + DJ c-wag Queer Nightlife - it's spiritual. First . . . NYC's legendary CLIT CLUB. Don't you want to go to a sexy lesbian night club in the meat packing district filled with all kinds of people dancing and sweating to 90s music? I know you do. Founder Julie Tolentino and filmmaker Felix Endara remember this unique space in NYC queer history. Then . . . our QUEER NIGHTLIFE PANEL. Party-throwers Ivette González-Alé (Azucar!) and Topher Gross (Select All) talk about the politics and logistics of queer party planning.

This week, we're recording from Clearwave Studios in gorgeous Decatur, where you can smell the Meow Mix wafting through the air. We talk with The Whiskey River Kings about their upcoming album called Desperate Times, dropping on June 30th. This week's episode is brought to you by The Invisible City on WLRH 89.3 in North Alabama. Look for The Whiskey River Kings and The Valley Roots at Invisible City Fest at Lowe Mill in Huntsville this September!
Aside from the song with which Evolution Control Committee closed their fantastic X-Day Drill set, this episode edited itself. The live Wisteria café-stage Hours of Slack (begun on last week's broadcast) unexpectedly took off into a lively discussion by Dr. Hal, Papa Joe Mama and Priestess Pisces about CATS and the Conspiracy -- which provided the perfect framework for a "jam meme" from the first night's excellent jam/ranting recordings: the ongoing "Meow Mix," which grew from Pisces getting the crowd to sing along with SOMETHING into a horrible clinging inside-joke for this whole X-Day Drill (though certainly not the only one, BUTT-HURTEDNESS being another). There is actually some beautiful music included from that 6-29-11 jam, thanks to singers and musicians who happen to be actual touring professionals (such as Rev. Stick and Phat ManDee) as well as gifted amateurs like Princess Wei, Rev. "Suds" Pshaw, Rev. Hazel (on SITAR!), Rev. Catfeather and others. Collages by The Large open and close the show, but it climaxes with a variation by Pisces of "The Star Spangled Banner" that has to be heard to be believed. It sounds like Kate Smith backed by Hendrix.
Join our "guest host", Myra Katz, in an extended review of audio collected from the 10th annual ToonFest in Marceline, Mo.
