In honor of the World Series this week, this episode compares the business of pharmacy to the baseball-themed book and movie Moneyball. The full title of the book is Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game, by Michael Lewis. The story is about how the Oakland A's baseball team used data and statistics to build a winning team — even on a tight budget. The FULL show notes are on thepharmacistsvoice.com. In this episode, I invite you (my audience) to be part of this conversation. I'm looking for 10 pharmacists (techs, owners, professors, or students) to record up to five minutes of input about how any pharmacy setting can thrive by leveraging pharmacist skills, serving changing patient needs, and optimizing limited resources.

My website is www.thepharmacistsvoice.com. Once I have 10 responses, I'll publish Moneyball for Pharmacists 2.0. It will be before my show format changes to monthly in January 2026.

Bars, restaurants and social gathering spaces are beer's "moneyball" opportunity, National Beer Wholesalers Association VP of analytics and chief economist Lester Jones shares during the latest edition of the Brewbound Podcast. Jones is the first of two interviews this week. Adam and Amanda Kroener, the founders of spirits-based cocktail brand Carbliss, also join this week's podcast to share their slow approach to brand building and goal of becoming a national brand. First, Jones explains why the on-premise channel remains the key to unlocking wins for brewers. "We can go looking for home runs all day long, but at some point, you've got to have the base hitters," Jones said. "You gotta have the guys when they step up to the plate, you're gonna move the game forward." While placements in off-premise chains such as Walmart, Kroger, HEB, 7-Eleven and others are analogous to home runs, getting a tap handle is a solid base hit on the way to scoring, and brewers shouldn't lose sight of those singles. Jones also discusses why he believes craft beer's funk is potentially ending, why the ethanol pie was cut too many ways, how beer is competing for dayparts and why beer needs to bring fun and socializing back. Then, the Kroeners discuss their methodical approach to brand building and why it has worked for the family-owned and run Midwestern-based canned cocktail brand. They also dish on Carbliss' entry into warm weather markets such as Florida and being one of the most successful brands that people have never heard of. "The fun part is, when we come out to places like Vegas, if you're not in the industry, you've never heard of us," Adam says. "But at the same time, if you're looking at the Circana or Nielsen data, we're a top three, four, five brand in dollars. So it is a fun, cool thing to be this biggest thing that some people have never heard of." Before the interviews, Justin, Jess and Zoe recap the latest industry news, including Brooklyn Brewery outsourcing sales to U.S. Beverage, BeatBox's forthcoming Chillitas line, Surfside's lawsuit against Anheuser-Busch InBev over Skimmers hard tea and George Clooney joining the non-alcoholic beer game.

In today's episode we explore the fascinating journey of data analytics in football.

Episode 116: This week, Kyle Van Pelt talks with Matt Reed, Chief Revenue Officer at Powerlytics. Matt brings 20 years of wealth management experience to Powerlytics, including leadership roles at Skience, eMoney Advisor, and Brightscope | ISS. At Powerlytics, Matt oversees the sales and marketing teams and leads the company's revenue-generation strategy and execution. Matt talks with Kyle about the power of data in driving organic growth. He explores the struggle of finding the right target and why “who and where” matter in prospecting. Matt also shares how Powerlytics' data-driven targeting and wealth platform can help find the next ideal client, define the Ideal Client Profile (ICP), and tailor outreach for maximum effectiveness. In this episode: (00:00) - Intro (01:53) - Matt's money moment (04:08) - The struggle for organic growth (08:13) - The “who” and the “where” of prospecting (10:36) - How Powerlytics' TrueWealth platform works (15:54) - Using data to target specific niches (17:45) - Using Powerlytics as a solo advisor or marketing team (20:49) - Where Powerlytics sits in the wealth-tech ecosystem (24:02) - Matt's outlook on the future of the industry (26:15) - Matt's Milemarker Minute (29:40) - The Crohn's & Colitis Foundation Key Takeaways Define the right targets, not just any targets. It isn't enough to cast a wide net. Identify your ideal client profile and use data to locate and reach them. Build organic growth the "Moneyball" way. Rather than always buying growth (firm acquisitions, big sponsorships), focus on smarter internal growth by leveraging data, analytics, and repeatable processes. Use rich data for smarter prospecting. Many firms struggle with finding the who and the where of opportunity. Use unique data sets to fine-tune your target list. Know your role in the stack. If you partner with data providers, lead-gen platforms, and tech tools, be clear about what you bring and how it complements the rest of your stack. Not every tool needs to do everything. Quotes "The right decisions based on the right analytics can be successful." ~ Matt Reed "The thing that makes us unique is that we have income and assets for every consumer in the United States. That has been proven to be very valuable in targeting and prospecting," ~ Matt Reed "Marrying our rich data set of income and assets, and providing that to a marketing database, is what we're calling the true wealth platform." ~ Matt Reed Links Matthew Reed on LinkedIn Powerlytics TrueWealth FINNY Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking Crohn's & Colitis Foundation Connect with our hosts Milemarker.co Kyle on LinkedIn Jud on LinkedIn Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify YouTube Produce game-changing content with Turncast Turncast helps your company grow by producing top-quality content and fostering transformative conversations.

What's running your service department: feelings, or facts? In this episode, #329, Chris, Christian, and Hogi break down what spells success in Fixed Operations. Here's a hint: it's not tradition, and it's not the blame game. It's all about tracking the RIGHT numbers. It's like Moneyball; scouts were worried about intangibles like how a player looked, acted, or "felt," when all they needed to know was whether or not that guy got on base. Tradition, vibes, and relationships can lie; numbers don't. In this episode, you'll learn: 1. Advisor Pay Caps Kill Performance 2. How to hire techs that "get on base" 3. How to spot lies on a resume 4. Which numbers you NEED to be tracking: profitability and CSI 5. Why challenges are an unfair advantage for your Service Department 6. The recipe for a winning system in ANY dealership. If you're a Service Manager or Fixed Ops leader tired of turnover, inconsistent results, and frustrated advisors, this episode will change the way you run your department.

X's and Joe's Episode 40: Data vs Drama - A View of Modern RecruitingBob Moats and Mike Wiemuth welcome special guest Stephen Ragsdale, creator of IURecruiting.com, for a deep dive into how data-driven analysis can cut through the emotional chaos of following college basketball recruiting.Meet Stephen Ragsdale and IURecruiting.com[00:00-17:00]Stephen introduces himself as a third-generation IU fan who turned his Excel spreadsheet tracking into a comprehensive recruiting website. His journey from casual follower to creator of IURecruiting.com stemmed from wanting better tools to understand the recruiting process. The conversation touches on early season optimism around IU basketball, with Trent Sisley's viral shot from above Five Guys on Kirkwood symbolizing a new era of offensive philosophy under Darren DeVries.The Recruiting Bingo Card[17:00-30:00]Mike unveils his famous "Recruiting Miss Bingo Card" - a collection of predictable fan responses that appear on message boards after every recruiting loss. Classics include "We don't want him anyway," "This just proves we don't cheat," and "I only want kids who want to play for IU." The group discusses how these responses transcend fanbases, with Stephen noting Purdue fans' fixation on the cheating angle and Notre Dame supporters emphasizing academic standards. The card highlights how fans often rationalize losses by suggesting the coach nearly made a catastrophic mistake, but thankfully the recruit had the sense to go elsewhere.The Recruiting Funnel Framework[30:00-45:00]Mike introduces the corporate HR recruiting funnel model adapted for college basketball. Using Kansas's 2019 recruitment of Jalen Wilson as a case study, he demonstrates how successful programs move from many offers (10) to fewer official visits (3) to one commitment. The concept of "traction" becomes crucial - can you get elite kids interested enough to visit? Stephen shares how this framework was eye-opening for him, shifting his perspective from Mike Woodson's "fall in love with one target" approach to understanding roster building as a numbers game requiring multiple irons in the fire.IURecruiting.com Deep Dive[45:00-75:00]Stephen walks through his website's functionality, showing how it tracks offers, visits, and commitments across multiple recruiting classes and positions. The tool includes funnel comparisons with Kentucky, Kansas, and Arkansas - three programs with distinctly different recruiting philosophies. Key insights emerge about IU's 2026 recruiting:• Strong conversion rates at center position (3 visits from 6 offers)• Limited point guard targeting mirroring industry-wide trends toward portal guards• Critical Anthony Thompson recruitment coming down to IU vs Ohio State• The site reveals patterns that individual recruit tracking missesThe discussion highlights how Bill Self casts the widest net with offers while someone like Coach K was more selective, and how understanding these different approaches helps contextualize IU's strategy.The Modern Recruiting Landscape[75:00-End]The group examines how recruiting has fundamentally changed with the portal era. Key observations:• Elite programs like Florida, Louisville, and Michigan now build rosters with 1-2 elite high school players and multiple high-end portal transfers• Point guard positions especially skew toward experienced portal additions rather than 18-year-old freshmen• International recruiting (IU's two Yugoslav players) represents another talent stream• The "win first, then recruit" fallacy gets debunked - you need elite talent to win, not vice versaMike provides critical context about the Moneyball aspect of NIL: five-star freshmen rarely saturate winning metrics like Box Plus Minus. Only four five-stars made the top 50 nationally in BPM last season (Cooper Flagg, Khaman Maluach, Kon Knueppel, and VJ Edgecombe). The sweet spot kids and elite transfers dominate those leaderboards, suggesting programs should be more strategic about where they invest NIL dollars.The episode concludes with cautious optimism about DeVries's early recruiting indicators and why the Anthony Thompson recruitment looms as a key test.On the mics: Bob Moats, Mike Wiemuth, and special guest Stephen RagsdaleSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Joy Taylor sits down with actor and former pro baseball player Stephen Bishop (Moneyball, Being Mary Jane, Fatal Affair) for one of the most unexpected Two Personal conversations yet. From being hit by a car at 15 and meeting God with no injuries, to going nude on a movie set, to debating whether baseball's unwritten rules are outdated or sacred, Joy and Stephen go at it. They clash on bat flips, tradition vs. fun, and whether baseball has lost its excitement. Stephen calls baseball a “game of failure” and defends the code, while Joy dismisses “unwritten rules” as just “suggestions.” This one covers faith, sports, Hollywood, and the moments that define who we are.

The B2B SaaS market is experiencing a significant slowdown with growth rates dropping, while traditional marketing channels deliver diminishing returns in an increasingly saturated landscape.• Marketing benchmarks show companies growing faster than 20% spend 10-15% of revenue on marketing, while slower-growing firms spend only 7-9%• Digital channels like SEO (search engine optimization), PPC (pay per click), and email are seeing declining performance metrics despite increased spending• Today's B2B buyer completes 80% of their journey independently, yet companies still allocate 70% of go-to-market resources to sales• "What's old is new again" – smaller, intimate events and personalized interactions are outperforming scalable digital tactics• Successful companies balance brand marketing (awareness) and demand generation (conversion) equally• Effective positioning requires elevating problems to the executive level by articulating significant business impact• AI isn't changing what we should measure but enables better personalization at scale across industries and personas• The brand versus demand debate represents a false dichotomy – both work synergistically to drive growthThe rules of B2B marketing are being rewritten before our eyes. In this revealing conversation with marketing benchmark expert Omar Akhtar and go-to-market guru AJ Gandhi, we unpack the surprising reality that most B2B SaaS companies are facing: we're effectively in a recession. Growth rates have plummeted from over 30% to just 11-20%, while traditional digital channels deliver diminishing returns despite increased spending.What's behind this troubling trend? Market saturation, poor tool integration, rapid commoditization, and fundamental shifts in buyer behavior all play a role.The most compelling insight? Companies growing faster than 20% annually are investing 10-15% of revenue in marketing, with a balanced approach between brand awareness and demand generation.Whether you're managing a marketing team, leading sales, or driving overall growth strategy, this episode offers critical benchmarks and tactical approaches for navigating today's challenging landscape.

Money, money, money, money, money. That's what it's all about. Well payed entertainment personnel and how much they get paid. But here is the twist. We ain't talking just about professional sportballers. Now we are talking about students. Individuals getting degrees at institutions of higher learning. Now getting paid enormous sums of money and the major disruptions to the college football world. Plus baseball players getting paid too much.
Send us a textIn this week's episode of The Wall Street Skinny, Kristen and Jen return to one of their favorite formats: dissecting the finance lessons hidden inside pop culture. This time, they take on Moneyball, a Michael Lewis classic that at first glance looks like a baseball story, but in reality is a masterclass in statistics, valuation, and market inefficiencies. Far more than just a sports narrative, Moneyball is about how disciplined analysis and data-driven decision-making can disrupt entrenched orthodoxy, whether on Wall Street or on the baseball field.Kristen and Jen break down how Billy Beane transformed the Oakland A's into one of the most competitive teams in baseball despite having one of the smallest budgets. From identifying undervalued assets (players) through on-base percentage and walks, to gaming the draft system with the savvy of a hedge fund trader, the discussion highlights how Beane's approach mirrors the strategies of top portfolio managers. The episode draws explicit parallels between constructing a winning baseball roster and building a resilient investment portfolio, making it essential listening for anyone serious about finance.The conversation also zooms out to compare the economics of MLB with the NFL and NBA, where league structures, revenue sharing, and salary caps create vastly different financial dynamics. Along the way, the hosts spotlight themes of efficiency, market psychology, and the importance of independent thinking in both sports and investing. It's the perfect prelude to next week's special episode featuring one of the greatest Major League players of all time.For a 14 day FREE Trial of Macabacus, click HERE For 20% off Deleteme, use the code TWSS or click the link HERE!

Rob Long's experience with Paramount goes back so far, he was there in the Gulf and Western days. He was there when Barry Diller fought Sumner Redstone for the company in 1994 for the company — and lost. He's seen Viacom and CBS and everything in between. So as David Ellison takes over the storied company, Rob has a key piece of advice, if the young mogul is willing to listen: think small and watch Brad Pitt's Moneyball. Because when you succeed at small, the big will take care of itself. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
