We talk about how customer experience is becoming autonomous, why every brand is becoming a service company, what organizations will need to do to make that shift, why the future is agent-to-agent, what the implications for brands are, and how we are also moving from vibe coding to vibe marketing.

Today's episode of the Punk CX podcast features a chat I had with Jamie Homen, Chief Customer Officer at Mural, a leading visual work platform. Jamie and I talk about why speed without alignment creates experience debt, the role AI is playing in that, how organizations should be thinking about using customer interaction data to influence product and roadmap prioritisation decisions, and why alignment is often a market design problem, not just a cultural one. This interview follows on from my recent interview – Insights from Zendesk Relate – Interview with Tom Eggemeier, Shana Simmons and Cristina Fonseca – and is number 589 in the series of interviews with authors and business leaders who are doing great things, providing valuable insights, helping businesses innovate and delivering great service and experience to both their customers and their employees.
The mural of spiritual symbols which forms the backdrop of our worship has formed and informed this congregation for 62 years. Christine will tell us about some of its history, its many meanings, and how it can remind us of who we are as Unitarian Universalists. The Puppets will also have some opinions to share. Music: Tom Godfrey, jazz guitarist. Christine was the minister of First Unitarian from 1988-2017. She still helps out around the place when asked, but mostly enjoys participating as a member of the congregation.

This week's May Mural Month replay episode on the Artist Academy Podcast features the social media-famous international muralist, Kiptoe. I knew this guy had a ton of Instagram followers (278k), even more fans on YouTube (832k), and plenty of experience under his belt. But what I didn't know about Kiptoe was that his hustle game is next-level—and that he started traveling the world independently in his 20s, building his brand from the ground up. He's a great example of an artist who took the time to get really good at his craft, then pitched himself (and still continues to pitch today) to clients to land the mural jobs he wants. This dude needs no further introduction—and I know you're going to feel seriously inspired by this week's replay episode with Kiptoe.

This week on the Artist Academy Podcast, I'm chatting with international muralist Nina Valkhoff for another May Mural Month episode! Nina shares how she went from painting custom client work in the Netherlands to creating large scale wildlife murals across 16 countries worldwide. Over the years, she slowly transitioned away from painting whatever clients requested and began fully embracing her own colorful, nature inspired style. We talk about mural festivals, traveling internationally for projects, finding creative confidence, and the importance of patience when building a long term mural career. Nina also opens up about burnout, learning to take breaks between projects, and why protecting your creativity matters just as much as improving your skills. We also get into mural photography, documenting your work professionally, favorite paint materials, and how social media has naturally helped attract mural opportunities throughout her career. If you're interested in mural festivals, creative growth, and the realities of painting murals professionally, this episode is for you!

This week's replay episode of the Artist Academy Podcast is an interview with the international street artist Peachzz (aka Megan Russell). You'll hear Megan tell her story of how she got started with murals (using spray paint) with a theme of birds and wildlife. Her style evolved into also painting the human form, and fast forward to today with one that blends into both human and nature. Megan got her start by applying to mural/street art festivals and shares with us her tips on how to put your best foot forward when sending in an application. She has a template that she uses and, in this interview, goes over it page by page to give you a better idea of what kind of effort is needed to land these high-competition jobs. Megan inspires me to create more of what I want to create, as opposed to just leaning into commissioned work, and apply for bigger opportunities. I think every artist will get something from this interview, no matter if you're a muralist or not. Let me know what you think of this week's replay episode with Peachzz (Megan Russell).

The Zibra Blog’s BEFORE AND AFTER Furniture Refinishing Podcast
Pricing your work is your favorite guessing game, you say? Don't worry. For most artists, it's their least favorite - and frankly, it shouldn't have to feel like one. This minisode gets real about the messy middle between undercharging, overthinking, and learning the hard way, with honest perspective from Alli K Design, the Off the Walls Murals team, and Kyle Mosher. From showing up to walls way bigger than expected to losing thousands on early mistakes no one warns you about, these are the moments that actually shape how artists start pricing with confidence. What comes through isn't a perfect formula (because there isn't one), but something more useful: a grounded way to think about your numbers, your time, and your value, built through curiosity, community, and experience. If you've ever second-guessed a quote or wondered if you're doing it “right,” this one will feel like a conversation you didn't know you needed.In this episode, you'll hear:Why pricing murals will never be a plug-and-play formula, and what to do insteadHow Alli K approaches pricing through curiosity, community, and asking better questionsWhat a certain muralist learned about time, energy, and setting boundaries (including charging for site visits)The real cost of early business mistakes… and how Kyle Mosher turned them into better systemsWhy outsourcing the parts of your business you avoid can actually make you more moneyHow to balance being the artist and the operator without burning outThe bigger vision behind Off The Walls Murals' work – and how pricing well allows you to give back in a sustainable wayHit rewind on these episodes:Setting Your Prices as an Artist with Alli K DesignBooking Brand Collabs with Artist Kyle MosherBuilding a Creative Business with Your Best Friend feat.
