Marlon Weems spent over 30 years in the finance industry, beginning in the early 80s in Little Rock, Arkansas. In the mid-90s, he founded the state's first African-American-owned asset management firm. He later acquired Security Investments of Conway from Saint Louis-based Mercantile Bank to found Weems & Company, the state's first Black-owned investment bank. He went on to hold several leadership positions on Wall Street. In 2012, he and his family moved to North Carolina and began his writing career as an expert in capital markets analysis. A few years ago, he started The Journeyman, a newsletter exploring the intersection of American culture, politics, and anti-Black racism. In addition to his newsletter, Marlon still takes on the occasional freelance project. In 2022, he authored a deep-dive report on applications for blockchain technology in healthcare for Boston Globe Media. He is currently working on a memoir about his experiences in finance. Marlon lives on an island in North Carolina with his wife and two children. When he's not writing, you can find him on the beach or riding his bicycle up and down the island. Key Points: Marlon started his career in finance in the 1980s in Arkansas, later founding the first African American-owned investment bank in the state. He moved to Wall Street in the late 1990s, working as a trader during turbulent economic times like the dot com crash and 2008 financial crisis. In 2012 Marlon and his family relocated to North Carolina where he pivoted to writing, exploring race, culture, and politics. He shared powerful stories of racism he faced when starting his business, like being denied office space and clients assuming he was white. Marlon continues to freelance and is working on a memoir about his career. He sees his writings and the memoir as part of his legacy. He has hope for younger generations who are informed, activated, and ready to take action for change.

Interviews with Capitec CEO Gerrie Fourie are usually a treat - and this one is no exception. It kicks off with Fourie's perspective on the stock's R30bn market cap drop after a Trading Update three weeks ago and moves through to Interim Results released today which included details of the latest strategic initiatives. Leading these is a massively disruptive move into the mobile phone market where Capitec this week launched a 50% cheaper alternative to over 8m clients who already buy data and airtime through the bank. Also in the spotlight is the impending relaunch of Mercantile Bank as Capitec Business Bank - spearheaded by a simplified, low cost offering for SMEs. Fourie spoke to Alec Hogg of BizNews.com.

Gabriela Pulido founded a creative consulting agency, Scalto.com,  that serves a niche market. Gabriela coaches companies ready to scale without incurring high costs with a strong focus on the Hispanic and Latin American markets. To date, Gabriela has worked with over 300 global Latin American & Hispanic brands. Using a unique framework she developed, the xAlto Program™, she helps businesses grow in new markets.When working with foreign markets, it's important to not only translate the marketing message into another language but to understand the nuances of the market. This requires an understanding of the culture and the people you are targeting. When you work with different cultures, you need to conduct research, so you don't alienate them by saying something that doesn't jive with their culture. A feat that is not as simple as it sounds. The xAlto Program™ framework helps companies expanding into new markets and cultures know precisely how they need to pivot. This enables them to make intelligent marketing decisions instead of just throwing things out there and waiting to see what sticks. By keeping an open mind and not being stuck with laser vision, companies can explore new and different options and opportunities they would not have thought of had they not pivoted distribution into new markets. In Gabriela's experience, companies grow most when they have a clear vision. They need to understand the why. Knowing what motivates your growth makes it easy to find the right path, no matter how many new markets you try to conquer. The first part of the framework that Gabriela teaches her clients is that no brand can be everything to everyone. To truly scale a business, you need to narrow your offer, focus, and niche. The more targeted you are, the easier it is to scale. The next step is to have a clear vision of the narrative is? What are the pillars of your brand story, and how are you sharing this story with potential clients? Sometimes, you need to change your brand image or logo to win at narrative or storytelling. You need to connect with the market you're looking to expand in. The last step in the framework is to put all the pieces together. When you have everything in place tailored to your brand, that is when you see success and growth. A framework covering all the bases can take a bank with deep roots in one country and help them pivot by becoming a local community bank in another country. This is what Gabriela's company did for a Venezuelan banking institution, Mercantile Bank. Once you understand where you want to go, you need to create a plan to get there. If you're a business looking to expand into new markets, follow this One Big Tip!In this episode:[2:55] Gabriela shares her diverse background, having worked in different marketsIn today's world, there is expansion happening from market to marketTo grow your business, you need to understand that different cultures and markets view things differently[8:01] You need to know how to adapt to move forwardMiami is a microcosm of what's happening in the businessIf you want to succeed you need to be open-minded [15:02] A surefire way to pivot successfully is to follow a strategy that worksKnow who your market isKnow what their pain points areKnow your why[18:20] Marketing is the creativity that can take X and make people believe that it's YMarketing is comprised of many different moving partsTo break into a new market successfully, you must speak the proverbial language of the peopleSupport the show

For decades, marketers have considered the wisdom of Al Ries and Jack Trout to be the gospel of positioning.  In their two books, “Positioning: The Battle for Your Mind,” and “Marketing Warfare,” Trout and Ries explained their concept that: ----more---- Consumers only have space in their brains for a handful of brands in any one category – say fast food, soft drinks, airlines, or athletic shoes. The consensus number-one brand is the “defender.” Their job is to stay on top and never even acknowledge that the lesser brands exist. Example: Coca-Cola The consensus number-two brand is on the “offense.” Their job is to try to knock off number-one with comparisons that make their brand look good. Example: Pepsi and the Pepsi Challenge The next-level brand or brands are called “flankers.” They are not strong enough to take on those top two brands, so they carve out their own position in the marketplace. Example: Seven-up – The Un-Cola.  But in today’s world of digital disruption, some small, start-up brands have been able to carve out quite a niche for themselves by looking at the same old paradigm and thinking something different.  Whether they find a better way of distribution, cut out the middleman, or find a more defined niche, they are able to turn Trout & Ries on their heads.  Example: Dollar Shave Club.   When this happens, we’re seeing the top brands go on the defensive instead of being defenders!
