Was passiert mit den Daten, die wir ins Netz stellen - wie lange bleiben sie dort? Darüber redet er mit Dirk Hildebrand in dieser Folge LEBENSLANG MIT CLOUDVERWAHRUNG. Außerdem philosophieren die beiden darüber, wozu KI bereits fähig ist. Und wie Chat GPT und seine Konkurrenz die Wirtschaft durcheinander bringen wird.

What Taylor Swift teaches us about strategy, long-term thinking, and building an empire. Taylor Swift isn't just a pop icon—she's a master strategist. And in this episode, we unpack exactly how she built a cultural and financial empire with smart moves that offer powerful lessons for any Stacker. Joe Saul-Sehy sits down with Kevin Evers of Harvard Business Review Press to explore: How Taylor's early partnerships set her on a path most artists never get to walk Why a clear vision—and the discipline to stick to it—can be a superpower How she turned frustration into creative fuel and conflict into leverage The surprising role MySpace and radio tours played in her initial success And what her story teaches us about marketing, risk-taking, and ownership But the show doesn't stop there. Joe and OG also dive into: Grant Cardone's 401(k) comments and whether his hot takes hold up The risks and rewards of real estate What crypto storage, insurance, and documentation mean for your financial safety net Plus, Mom's neighbor Doug jumps in with a tax-themed trivia challenge—and a few surprising family stories to bring it all back home.

Mitchell & The Dubs Cartel - I Can't Find the Vibe Got a vape pen, dead again, battery fried She said “You're too old to be outside” I said “Girl I paved the path you walk” She rolled her eyes and hit me with a TikTok Tried to chill at the beach with my boombox tunes They called me “vintage,” said I “used cartoons” I got Crocs on sport mode, socks up high And apparently that means I wanna die? I don't get your slang, I'm lost in the mist You got ten identities and an allergy list You cancel a taco for cultural theft But steal my vinyls like you pressed 'em yourself I can't find the vibe, it's ghostin' me Gen Z's got beef with my skinny jeans I just wanna smoke and watch cartoons But I'm too old for Discord, too young for The News Yeah, I can't find the vibe, it left the chat Tried BeReal but I don't post like that I miss MySpace and AIM away signs Now all I got is back pain and good rhymes They got middle parts, we got receding lines They pay for WiFi and complain online I said “pull up,” they said “that's sus” And I'm the one who pays their Uber Plus They ask for a sign, but I'm all outta zodiacs I'm Capricorn rising, but I'm not your dad I texted “K,” they said “that's cold” But I'm not mad, I'm just thirty years old “Listen Gen Z... we love you... but you need a hug, a real one... not a virtual emoji sandwich... also, we invented memes. You're welcome.” I can't find the vibe, it blocked my soul Tried to Venmo my dealer, he said “Use Zelle, bro” I still burn CDs like it's '03 They stream AI rappers with no melody I can't find the vibe, it's lost in the feed Too many filters, not enough weed I'm just tryna roll with my tribe But now I need two apps just to feel alive I miss the days when vibes came free... ...and all you needed was a mixtape and iced tea. (...and someone who didn't ask your pronouns mid-sesh)

In this episode, we discuss the 2007 text The Coming Insurrection, written by the pseudonymous collective The Invisible Committee. We talk about the book's scathing condemnation of the present, its critique of everyday life in the dying late capitalist empires of the 21st century, and the kind of insurrectionary anarchism it advocates. Maybe we're just grumpy old people who have failed to kill the cops in our heads, but we think the project dead-ends in presentist adventurism and doesn't take seriously enough the importance of social stability and political organization. That said, we try to take a sympathetic look at the moment of negativity it expresses, and think about how it speaks to real frustrations and genuine revolutionary desires. We're diversity of tactics people who want to build a better future together, after all!This is just a short teaser of the full episode.

In this episode, I dive deep with social media marketing powerhouse Cassie Petrey. She's the brains behind iconic artists' social presence including the Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, and others. Cassie's journey from 12-year-old fangirl creating a Backstreet Boys newsletter to Forbes 30 Under 30 entrepreneur reveals how authentic passion drives success.

Cassie drops knowledge on how she helps massive artists stay grounded and relatable despite their extraordinary lives, plus shares invaluable advice for women breaking into male-dominated industries. Her take on building a career from true passion rather than chasing what others want is something every entrepreneur needs to hear. Whether you're building your own brand or just fascinated by how celebrities navigate the digital world, Cassie's insights will completely change how you view social media marketing.We Meet: Cassie Petrey, CEO & Co-Founder of Crowd SurfConnect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanConnect with Cassie: https://www.instagram.com/cassiepetrey/ Subscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLINAbout Cassie: Cassie Petrey has been the woman behind some of the most iconic artists' social media marketing including Backstreet Boys, Camila Cabello and Britney Spears. Cassie is the co-founder of Crowd Surf, a leading marketing and music management firm. She is an original fan girl whose ‘tween admiration for the Backstreet Boys led her at age 12 to create a newsletter that reached fans worldwide — then years later she helped seal the band's decades-long superstardom by re-introducing them to next-generation fans. At age 17 as a college rep for Warner Music Group, Cassie was among the first in the music industry to recognize the vast marketing potential of nascent mid-2000s platforms Myspace and Facebook. Her company Crowd Surf has worked with tech giants Apple and Google, and labels such as Universal, Disney, Sony, Warner and more. Cassie is a Forbes 30 Under 30 and Billboard 30 Under 30 recipient, and she is a leading social media and artist management Hollywood powerhouse.

This week the boys talk about the worst people to be next to at a concert, if it's possible to still live with an ex after you break up, and the prospect of adding masculine male friends to your irl MySpace top 8. I wouldn't tho, bro. Not to generalize, but men are responsible for all crime everywhere. Better get like a dog or something, which would be easier to clean up after frankly.   If you would like to support the creators of this show please subscribe to our Patreon.

In 2008, members of the New Orleans ska-punk band Fatter Than Albert launched Community Records, an umbrella beneath which a nationwide subculture of DIY outsider ska swapped ideas and fans. It wasn't the beginning, but it was one of the defining moments of what we're reluctantly calling the MySpace age. Thanks to social media, bands thriving in their regional scenes could build new networks and share resources in the shadow of a music industry that had no interest in ska as anything but a punchline.Our guests this episode are from two bands who were around for that era and who also have recently dropped great new albums. Will and Jonzee from Stuck Lucky discuss their new album Counting Curses (2024, Ska Punk International), and Boofish and Nic from Brunt of It tell us about "It's A Mad, Bad, Sad, Rad World" (2025, Jump Up Records), and the four of them tell us what they saw back then and what's different these days.Listener feedback!

Subscribe to The Best Idea Yet here: https://wondery.com/links/the-best-idea-yet/Before 2007, mobile phones had tiny keyboards, crappy screens with internet so slow - you could finish a super burrito while waiting for your MySpace profile to load. Then Apple wowed the world with the iPhone: a digital Swiss Army knife that replaced cameras, maps, music players, AND created an entire new app economy. But the wildest part? Steve Jobs didn't even want to build it…at first. Once Steve finally said ""yes,"" the real work began: a top-secret team (codename: Project Purple), some engineering dead-ends (a click wheel), and a near-impossible engineering challenge. Even then, Apple barely pulled it off — the first iPhone prototype was so flakey, one wrong tap could have sunk Steve's big reveal. Find out the (many) ways the iPhone almost failed before it even launched, what drove Steve Jobs to order 4,000 lattes, how a single device reshaped society (and your screen time), and why the iPhone is the best idea yet.Subscribe to The Best Idea Yet for the untold origin stories of the products you're obsessed with — and the bold risk takers who made them go viral.Episodes drop every Tuesday, listen here: https://wondery.com/links/the-best-idea-yet/—-----------------------------------------------------GET ON THE POD: Submit a shoutout or fact: https://tboypod.com/shoutouts FOR MORE NICK & JACK: Newsletter: https://tboypod.com/newsletter Connect with Nick: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicolas-martell/ Connect with Jack: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jack-crivici-kramer/ SOCIALS:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tboypod TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tboypodYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@tboypod Anything else: https://tboypod.com/ See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, the boys talk about C.B. Macpherson's insightful text The Political Theory of Possessive Individualism. Macpherson holds that liberal political theory from Hobbes to Locke is correct in its premises, since like it or not we basically all are defined by our properties, living in a society almost exclusively defined by market relations—but that those same market relations engender class antagonisms that progressively undermine the possibility of durable social cohesion. He wants to save liberal theory and liberal democracies from themselves, but is there a viable way forward? You know what we think: it's socialism or barbarism, baby! Too bad it's looking like barbarism!!leftofphilosophy.comReferences:C.B.

Send us a text! (add your email to get a response)The wounds of high school popularity - or lack thereof - run surprisingly deep. In this episode, we explore how our teenage and adolescent social status continues to shape our self-concept decades later, informing how we navigate relationships, perceive our value, and approach social hierarchies.We dive into research that reveals the complex relationship between adolescent popularity and adult personality traits, discovering if we have qualities that determine whether or not we're going to be "popular" throughout our life.The podcast gets personal as we share our own teenage experiences - from the notorious MySpace "Top 8" friendship rankings that could ruin a week, to the Valentine's Day carnation deliveries that made social hierarchies painfully visible. We talk about how these experiences become formative to our identities because adolescence represents our first real attachment to figures outside our families, creating patterns that can last a lifetime.For those still carrying these wounds, we offer science-backed perspectives for healing. Most importantly, recognizing that high school popularity often rewards conformity rather than originality allows us to reframe our experiences as badges of uniqueness rather than rejection.Whether you were a queen bee, completely overlooked, or somewhere in between, we offer validation, understanding, and a path toward finally healing those stubborn teenage wounds.

You get SICKY—aka Mick Butler—and a wonderfully offbeat, brilliantly musical conversation with Graham Coath on this week's MyMusic Podcast.In this episode, Graham and Mick get into the origins of the SICKY moniker, reminisce about cassette players and misheard names, and dive deep into the making of SICKY's latest album Trouble, Delight—a punchy, percussion-heavy, 30-minute sonic burst full of character, humour, and a healthy dose of kitchen-sink creativity.✨ Expect:Field recordings from shopping centre sliding doors and bell towersChildren accidentally producing future bangersSatirical undertones, quirky grooves, and a little bit of Prince-inspired magicConversations about identity, influence, and the pure joy of making music without overthinking itOh, and you'll never listen to church bells or sliding doors the same way again.

Episode 2227 (RR) –  It's March 2008, Kid A.G. is losing his mind over his shiny new iPhone like it's the second coming, and Don Tang is along for the ride, half-asleep and horny for his high school classmates. This Retro Rewind episode is a glorious trainwreck of early-aughts tech obsession, pyramid scheme dreams, and a relentless quest for portable porn. Kid's waving his iPhone around like a caveman who just discovered fire, bragging about surfing Denise Milani's curves at the post office while Don Tang pines for an iPod Touch he'll never get. They're hyped about RedTube, IKEA's 273-square-foot sex dens, and the inevitable downfall of Miley Cyrus—predictions that aged like fine whiskey.   The duo's banter is a fever dream of soundboard “fuck yous,” crude sex jokes, and random tangents about Easter egg hunts, South Park's Britney Spears gore-fest, and MySpace customization (RIP). Don Tang's date flopped, Kid's pregnant wife's boobs are a recurring subplot, and they're both convinced portable porn is the future—spoiler: they were right. Mr. Shark Attack pops up as a bewildered bystander, and there's a shoutout to “Chesticles” and “The Phenom” joining later, because why not? It's unhinged, it's offensive, it's The Goin' Deep Show at its finest.   Go Deep! Original Release Date: March 26, 2008 - Episode 452

At the start, I have to apologize for the audio. Anita and I went back to Ohio for a wedding and we had to get this episode in when we could and the mics were not showing us any love.

In this episode, we are joined by special guest Tommie Shelby to discuss the arguments presented in his most recent book, The Idea of Prison Abolition. We talk about the social functions that prisons serve, whether any of those are legitimate, and what the differences are between radical reformist and abolitionist positions. This conversation is wide-ranging, making connections between lots of left-wing debates, from how we explain the emergence of unjust institutions to how we argue for social transformation. leftofphilosophy.comReferences:Tommie Shelby, The Idea of Prison Abolition (Harvard University Press, 2022)Tommie Shelby, Dark Ghettos: Injustice, Dissent, and Reform (Harvard University Press, 2016)Tommie Shelby, We Who Are Dark: The Philosophical Foundations of Black Solidarity (Harvard University Press, 2005)Music:“Vintage Memories” by Schematist | schematist.bandcamp.com“My Space” by Overu | https://get.slip.stream/KqmvAN

On this episode of CD Burners, the guys are talking all things Zombies! Aliens! Vampires! Dinosaurs! by Hellogoodbye, with the OG Bedroom Pop genius himself, Forrest Kline. Produced by Matt Mahaffey, this debut album has a playful and chaotic sound that's entirely its own and truly embodies the Myspace era and scene culture. 

What's up everyone! On this week's episode we were joined by Damon and Tyler of the michigan-based band of virtue. We had such a great time chatting with them about how the band got started, their thoughts on how things have shifted since the MySpace days, new music they have coming out this year, lots of talk about tours and even some random chit chat about ketchup, barbecue sauce and flying sausages in the sky. We had a lot of laughs with this interview and We hope you enjoy the conversation we had with Damon and Tyler of the band of virtue as much as we did.

In this episode, we tackle Friedrich Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil. In this book, Nietzsche diagnoses the cultural pathologies of a Europe that no longer seems able to take risks and experiment with life. We discuss his account of nihilism, his aristocratic commitment to the breeding of new philosophers, and why it is important not to domesticate Nietzsche's critiques of morality. Along the way, we unpack what Nietzsche would think of philosophers today and why he thinks they have such a hard time finding the truth.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit wisdomofcrowds.live“Something is happening here and you don't know what it is,” goes the Bob Dylan track from 1965. That song was directed at the squares who weren't yet hip to the Sixties. It sounded foreboding then, and it sounds foreboding now, because something is happening, again — something perhaps as great and consequential as the cultural changes of Dylan's time. For several years now, people have been speaking about a cultural “vibe shift.” The MAGA electoral victory appears to have been the culmination of that shift. The Trumpist victory has ushered in a new political elite and with it, a cultural style that is more transgressive, crude, and rude than the once-liberal American mainstream. Helping us understand what's happening is this week's special guest, Sean Monahan, one of the most perceptive cultural forecasters of our time. If you've ever used the term “normcore,” or if you've heard someone talk about a “vibe shift,” you've been influenced by Sean. And if you haven't heard those terms, then you're about to learn a lot about American culture in this episode. Sean is a writer, trend forecaster and brand consultant, whose Substack, 8Ball, is an oracle of cultural insight.Sean joins Christine Emba and Shadi Hamid and they all get deep about vibes. What is a vibe? Can it be defined? If it can't, then how is it a useful concept? Is it based on material conditions? How long does a vibe last? But the conversation soon ventures beyond these theoretical generalities. Shadi wants to know whether American culture has fundamentally shifted to the right since the rise of Trump. Christine detects a mean streak to this new culture: a certain cruelty or at least, ruthless competitiveness. Sean puts things in perspective, explaining how generations create, condition, and then abandon trends, and how the weird period of Covid lockdown had a unique effect on trend creation, one that still affects us to this day. He also describes the new aesthetic of the Trump era, which he believes is based primarily on desire for money, and which he has dubbed, “Boom Boom.”In our bonus section for paid subscribers, Sean discusses why religion has become attractive to young people, especially young men, whether he sees good vibes or bad vibes in the near future, and whether he believes most Americans actually like Trump and DOGE.Required Reading:* Sean Monahan's Substack, 8Ball.* Sean Monahan, “Anatomy of a Vibe Shift” (8Ball).* Sean Monahan, “Boom Boom: Anatomy of a Trend” (8Ball).* Sean Monahan, “The Counter Elite Won the Meme War” (8Ball).* CrowdSource: “Truth and Vibes” (WoC).* Famous 2022 article from New York Magazine: “A Vibe Shift is Coming” (New York).* W.

The food-delivery company's VP of brand discusses the business' 20-year history and how it stays front of mind for consumers.Episode TranscriptPlease note, this transcript  may contain minor inconsistencies compared to the episode audio.Damian: I'm Damian FowlerIlyse: And I'm Ilyse Liffreing. Damian: And welcome to this edition of The Current Podcast.Ilyse: This week, we're delighted to talk with Marnie Kain, the VP of Brand and Creative at Grubhub.Damian: Grubhub recently celebrated its 20th anniversary. It was founded in Chicago in 2004, and it was the pioneer food delivery service. A forerunner to the booming e commerce delivery sector.Ilyse: Two decades on, the business has scaled. It now has a 375, 000 restaurant partners in over 4, 000 U.S. cities.Damian: Marnie joined the company in September 2023, just as it was planning its big birthday celebrations.Ilyse: So Marnie, can you tell us about the challenge of marketing this brand, having joined just Grubhub in 2023?Marnie: Well it was a very easy decision to make to go to Grubhub. I had spent a number of decades on the [00:01:00] agency side, working with clients across many different categories. And one thing I learned is that it's really fun to work in a category that you enjoy. And who doesn't love food and the delight and joy of delivery that it brings?So I was able to really unmask my experience across many sectors like CPG, mass retail, QSR, casual dining, health and wellness. travel and so on and really bring that expertise and experience to the table to solve some really interesting challenges in a very crowded landscape.Ilyse: Now, it is interesting with your background because, like you said, you've been across agencies for a long time. What would you say is the differentiating factor being brand side now?Marnie: Well, being brand side you definitely have greater visibility to the complexities of the business. I think you [00:02:00] believe you understand that when you're on the agency side, but what you have visibility to is far less than what really goes on. And it is challenging to sell things in across the organization because there are many stakeholders, cross functional decision making and priorities that aren't necessarily brand marketing.Ilyse: Now let's talk about Grubhub's marketing strategy a little. So the delivery service sector has become quite competitive as you know. As all consumers know, we have lots of choices. How do you think about differentiating Grubhub in this space and maintaining that market shareMarnie: We really look at it from a consumer standpoint and what's meaningful and relevant to our customers. What conveniences do they need? What are their pain points? What categories do they need delivery from? So we're [00:03:00] expanding even beyond restaurants into categories like grocery, convenience, and others that will soon come. So it's really about being in service of the customer and their needs.As far as what is differentiating about us, it's really about tapping into and building upon what they see as valuable. So one of the biggest ways that we're offering value, outside of just everyday value that are always available on the app, are through partnerships like the one we have with Amazon.Ilyse: Maybe you could tell us a little bit more about the partnership. Andhow Grubhub really works with brands and what platforms it chooses when it comes to those types of partnerships.Marnie: Well, Amazon is a great example of really understanding what's important to consumers. Obviously, Amazon delivers pretty much everything, but what they [00:04:00] don't deliver is food from restaurants. And so the synergy between the two delivery giants is quite clear. The opportunity was to really bring added value to Amazon Prime customers, and that is what we've done. So our Amazon partnership initially launched before my time in 22 and, what you would get as an Amazon Prime member is the ability to get one year of Grubhub Plus for free, which is our membership service that essentially provides $0 delivery fees which is our premier benefit, additionally $5 cash back on pickup orders, priority delivery and other exclusive offers.This past May, we built on the initial success and really deepened that partnership to bring added value to consumers and greater sales for our restaurant partners by making the benefits ongoing to [00:05:00] Amazon subscribers. So Prime members get - as long as they're a Prime member - $0 delivery on Grubhub. Additionally, what's really unique, is that you can shop on Amazon for Grubhub. There's actually a tile on the grocery tab that you can go through and actually link your Grubhub account, get your $0 delivery benefit and start shopping, straight within the Amazon app.Ilyse: I really didn't know that.Damian: That must really help you, in terms of partnerships like that must be a big help in terms of scaling.Marnie: It really is. We started, as early days for Grubhub, we were really looking to help restaurants scale. 20 years ago, restaurants delivered their menus by putting them in mailboxes in the neighborhood and also keeping them available outside of their restaurants. And that was their scale. Now they have access to so many consumers [00:06:00] through Grubhub which originally was a tech powered menu aggregator and ultimately a tech powered order system for restaurants.Today, it's really a three-sided business model where we service restaurants and continue to help them scale, but we also support a very large driver community that makes a living working for Grubhub as well as bringing new conveniences every day to consumers.Damian: Let's talk about that a little bit. You mentioned that how it started and you joined the company just as Grubhub was probably thinking about its 20th birthday in 2024. what was the sort of nature of the thinking around how it was going to mark this important anniversary?Marnie: I think the important thing when you consider that it was our 20th anniversary, is that, it's really all about what we can do for our customers. They are perhaps [00:07:00] interested in the fact that we've been around for a long time - we're the O. G in the category and that means we stand by our product and our reliable brand - but mostly they just want what they want, when they want it. They want value. They want to know that we have the restaurants that they're interested in. So the first thing we did was offer literally 20,000 offers to our customers, free items that they could get from restaurants like McDonald's, Popeye's, Pizza Hut, Wendy's, Panera, Taco Bell. We also offered 20 percent off several other restaurants and convenience stores, and we celebrated this under the banner of 20 years of deals because that's really what Matters to consumers and the value is something that we continue to pursue through partnerships like Amazon, where they're saving over three hundred dollars annually on [00:08:00] not paying for delivery for delivery fees on Grubhub.So when I think back to 2004, it's hard to believe some of the other things going on at that time. MySpace was the most popular social media. That's crazy. Mark Zuckerberg had just launched the Facebook at Harvard. Google was beta testing Gmail. Shake Shack opened its first and best, if you ask me, location in New York City and OutKast had the number one song, which was Hey, yeah, if that matters.Damian: I remember that.Marnie: It really is amazing how much changes in 20 years and even as a third-party delivery industry, that industry has changed so much from aggregating menus, and actually the delivery part of the business didn't even start until [00:09:00] 10 years into those 20 years.Damian: Wow. And he also started in Chicago as a local concern. And obviously you've built up a national presence since then. Can you talk a little bit about that?Marnie: Yeah, Grubhub did launch in Chicago in 2004, and it was the brainchild of the two founders and was about aggregating menus and fully in service of restaurants.it's beginnings are even technically before that because, the brand acquired the Seamless brand which started in 1999. But that acquisition happened in 2013. Each part of our evolution, we've [00:10:00] constantly been looking for new ways to bring value, to bring selection, to bring better service and speed to our customers.Ilyse: And now, what innovations do you see Grubhub making even in the near term to stay on top of like emerging trends and industry changes? Obviously, A. I. Is everywhere and I know that's one thing apps like Grubhub are looking into and experimenting with, but maybe even across creative. So I'm curious about that.Marnie: Yeah, I think that one area of excitement for us and great innovation is our campus business. So what many people don't know is that Grubhub's campus business started about six years ago with the acquisition of an Israeli based tech company called Topenia. And, today we work with more than 360 universities and, nearly 5 million students.And what's really interesting about this [00:11:00] partnership is that it's not superficial. It's not just: download the app and you be like a regular customer on our app. They actually, depending on the university, have their dining dollars go directly through Grubhub. So when you arrive at school, one of the first things you have happen at orientation is you are told to sign up for Grubhub and link your dining dollars.And One of the schools where my daughter actually goes is our flagship school, Ohio State University, and that is probably the most robust version of our campus partnership where we actually have the food from the campus restaurants and dining facilities delivered by robots, and I will tell you that it's pretty cool. The robots are available at a number of colleges and as we think about the future of the category, I think it's scratching the surface on what might be readily available as ways that we can you know [00:12:00] sort of buck the speed of, how we currently deliver in urban areas by bicycle and motorbike and, you know, in the suburbs by car.So I think, drone delivery or robot delivery could be on the horizon. I also think, creatively thinking about our different categories of delivery, we have an opportunity to create more curated and exclusive experiences. There are a lot of competitors that deliver from a lot of the categories that we deliver in, but it's really about how we combine our categories and verticals of delivery to create unique experiences that you can't find anywhere else.Damian: How important is what's going on in culture to the way you position yourself in market?Marnie: I think that culture is really driving everything and we do a tremendous amount of paid and organic social where we aim to capitalize on cultural moments. So, you know, as we see people talking about either the brand, or about [00:13:00] food, or about Charlie XCX, or whatever it is, that we can tap into and follow a meme, or join in the conversation.It's really important to be agile and to be able to get out there fast and just have a voice. It doesn't mean we necessarily have to create an entire campaign that taps into that cultural moment. But what we've learned is, it's really important to be in the conversation in order to drive relevance.It is a very crowded marketplace and there are many people spending a lot of money, many competitors, but we find that influencers are really helping us, to really speak to our customers in a moment when they're, craving food, wanting to order food and we've seen terrific engagement from the programs that we're doing as well as increased brand perceptions.And that's the other thing about partnerships, whether it be with Amazon or influencers [00:14:00] across the gamut, we really look to partner with others that help improve our brand perception and lift all boats.Damian: As you look ahead to later this year and beyond, what are the priorities for you as a brand? Is it a question of scaling, building more couriers, building more restaurants, building more consumers? What's the kind of game plan if it could look big picture?Marnie: Big picture, there's so much opportunity in this category to continue to grow, to delight consumers, and also to meet their needs.So, creating more intuitive and using AI elements of the app is really important. We have a ton of data about our consumers because they're in our ecosystem, but really leveraging that data using AI and creating more intuitive experience and more seamless experience in the app is definitely a priority.Also, as I [00:15:00] mentioned, more curated and exclusive experiences. How can we capitalize on this very unique mix of retailers essentially available on our app to create experiences that you can't find anywhere else? Partnerships is definitely a priority. How can we continue to leverage that and sort of aggregate value for customers.And finally, speed is really important and even distance of delivery because people are looking for the restaurants they love, they're looking to get them, when they want them. Ilyse: that note, with all those preferences and consumer habits that obviously leads to a lot of data that you have within the app, and you briefly mentioned, using AI to make that consumer experience a little easier on the end consumer.Can you talk about how that works with AI a little bit and perhaps maybe do you on the creative end tap that [00:16:00] data for future campaigns?Marnie: Really, we are exploring and experimenting with A. I. And we don't have the answer or the end of that story to share yet, but we all experience it on a daily basis being online and everybody's using chat GPT to write their speeches or whatever but in the case of food delivery, it really will allow us to become more intuitive, and that's really the key because people are looking for shortcuts. They're looking for brands that get them and know them and that understand their pain points and their inflection points.The other thing that we're doing, and this isn't necessarily using our own data, is finding opportunities for moments or milestones where we really can make a difference in people's lives. One example of this that you may have seen is we had launched in August of 2024, a special delivery campaign, which was targeted [00:17:00] at expectant moms, and we provided them based on their engagement and signing up their first meal after giving birth.And that was really based on the insight that as you're expecting, there's a lot of things you can't eat and you crave these things, whether they're sushi or believe it or not, deli meat,  and a lot of things that could, could cause a bacteria or, an infection for the baby. So at the point where the baby is born, the first thought is, what am I going to eat?And we were able to meet that need with a special delivery from Grubhub. So it's really about using data to get into what's important to consumers as opposed to just for data's sake.Marnie: We have a ton of data about what consumers order and actually, every December, we produce some stats about where the trends are going and even some personal stats as a [00:18:00] Grubhub Plus member that you might receive about your own ordering habits. which can be very interesting because many of our employees find out that their kids are doing most of their ordering and they get surprised quite a bit. But one of the things that really surprises me is that the most ordered convenience store drink is not Diet Coke, which a lot of people guess. Not Celsius, which a lot of people guess. Interestingly, I know, it's Dr. Pepper.Marnie: Another one I'm always am surprised by is the fastest growing pizza topping.Ilyse: Pineapple? Marnie: Bingo. Yes, pineapple is the fastest growing pizza Ilyse: Not in New York. Marnie: Those are my two favorites.Damian: I like that, yeah. You should have a Grubhub quiz. Marnie: We'll get one to you. Ilyse: Is it like a Spotify [00:19:00] wrapped kind of thing?Marnie: It's exactly like a Spotify wrapped where you can learn about what you order. and then also what America's ordering. So it, it serves as a way to tap into the cultural zeitgeist.Ilyse: Very funDamian: Alright, perfect. Thank you so much. Marnie: Thank you again for having me. Marnie: And that's it for this edition of The Current Podcast.Damian: We'll be back next week, so stay tuned.Ilyse: The Current Podcast's theme is by Love Caliber. The current team includes Kat Vesce and Sydney Cairns.Damian:  And remember, Marnie: There lot of competitors that deliver from a lot of the categories that we deliver in, but it's really about how we combine our categories and verticals of delivery to create unique experiences that you can't find anywhere else.Damian: I'm Damian.Ilyse: I'm Ilyse.Damian: And we'll see you next time.
