We discuss the utter absence of cooking with cactus in our lives (!) and a cookbook which I have loved by Nik Sharma called VEG-TABLE.To make the recipe, you need500g Orecchiette (thus named because the tiny scooped pieces look like a baby's ear 285g frozen peas11/2 tsp cumin seeds and 1/2 tsp fennel seeds, lightly crushed in a mortar and pestle4 cloves of garlic, grated1 tsp red pepper flakes, eg., Aleppo, Maras or Urfa.2-3tbs white miso paste (I use 3, Nik Sharma says 2)lots of grated Parmesan or Grana Padano (I use a cup+)snipped chives from the gardenBoil the pasta in generously salted rolling boiling water a minute or 2 less than the amount of time recommended on the packet. In the last 2 minutes, add the peas to the pot. Drain, reserving 1 cup of pasta water. Dress the cooked pasta/peas with 1tbs of olive oil. Set aside and then:Warm 3 tbs good olive oil then add cumin seeds and fennel seeds. Fry for less than 1 minute until releasing their aromas. Add in the garlic and red pepper flakes.Dissolve the miso paste in 1/3 cup of the reserved pasta water. Add this to the fried spices then add the peas and crush them a little so they're less intact and more prepared to integrate with the sauce.Use a big slotted spoon to fold the cooked pasta into the spice mixture, adding in about 1/4 cup of cheese. Feel free to add a bit more pasta water to make the final version brothy. Taste. It may need more salt. Serve with more cheese on top and some generous snips of chives. Hosted on Acast.

That's when research comes in, because research helps capture what that is factually, precisely." — Eugenio Castro [00:02:22 → 00:02:45]The Power of a Personal Brand on Social Media: "I used to have, like, an artwork as an image, and he said I should put my face on it. And, yeah, so I'm sample arts researcher, and from there, from sending that name on my bio. I mean, I get like weekly DM's people wanting to work with me." — Eugenio Castro [00:05:21 → 00:05:36]Researching Digital Personalities: "You put them on YouTube, on Spotify, on Apple podcasts, and then you gather all the relevant interviews, all the relevant links from those platforms, put them on a Google Doc, and then you enter that subject's name on a tool like Perplexity or Google." — Eugenio Castro [00:09:43 → 00:10:00]Crafting Content with Purpose: "Because again, if you just stop at that or do something very generic, it's got to be of no value. So you need to repurpose it to something very, very specific." — Eugenio Castro [00:10:40 → 00:10:48]Effective Communication in Research: "You want a very high signal and very low, like serial noise. And counterintuitively, my clients pay me for what I leave out of the document, not so much for what I put in, because again, they didn't go to Perplexity, they didn't go to Google, but they have to sift through the noise, so they just want to get the signal." — Eugenio Castro [00:11:44 → 00:12:04]Trends in Monetizing Research: "How you monetize research is by putting it behind a paywall and saying, this is what you get with what you pay, and then having that on the other side." — Eugenio Castro [00:15:45 → 00:15:55]Content Creation Strategy: "What research, like a good research assistant or a good Jamie ensures that you'll sort of talk about the best things possible and you don't repeat things that have already been asked or talked about." — Eugenio Castro [00:19:21 → 00:19:36]Show notes powered by Castmagic---Have any questions about the show or topics you'd like us to explore further?Shoot us a DM; we'd love to hear from you.Want the weekly TL;DR of tips delivered to your mailbox?Check out our newsletter here.Follow us for content, clips, giveaways, & updates!Castmagic InstagramCastmagic TwitterCastmagic LinkedIn  ---Blaine Bolus - Co-Founder of CastmagicRamon Berrios - Co-Founder of CastmagicEugenio Castro - Founder of Information Dealers

Branding isn't just about the visual identity of a company. In this episode, Ben Grynol talks with Nik Sharma, “The DTC Guy” who runs Sharma Brands and HOOX, about what it means to build a good brand in the direct-to-consumer marketing space. Nik points out the crucial thing to remember is that no one remembers your brand unless you're one of the top global brands, so it's best not to get overly invested in how your brand is perceived. It's best to drive consumer awareness, be consistent in providing valuable content and products, and pay attention to how you talk to and pitch your audience.

Authors have been shocked to find out their books are being used to train AI.

The data is being used without permission by the likes of Meta and Bloomberg to program their generative AI. To discuss, Jesse is joined by author, chef and molecular biologist Nik Sharma.

Sharma discusses his experiences with high-level brands and how they are breaking out of their reliance on platforms like Facebook and Instagram. Sharma suggests that brands should focus on testing TikTok, TV, and sponsored editorial content to gain a secondary presence and build trust with customers.

Sharma believes that if someone is unable to scale, it is likely due to a deficiency in one of these three areas.

Welcome back, everyone! I hope you enjoyed the last episode where Will Taylor and I chatted about the viability of a partnerships-led-only growth strategy.  I'm the luckiest podcast host again this week because I get to speak to an ecommerce thought leader who now runs a niche product and partnership offering supported by someone who cut her teeth in partnerships at Gorgias - an ecomm platform known to have a well-oiled partner program.  Coming to this episode today is Nik Sharma, CEO of Sharma Brands, HOOX, and 1180 Media. With him is the amazing Dillon Duchesne, who leads partnerships and biz dev for HOOX. The theme of today's episode is How CEOs need to be heavily involved and support a 1:1 partnerships strategy to ensure its success - especially early on.  Today, Nik, Dillon and I chat about: How having a niche offering eases the partnership equation What the GTM was like given the fact Nik operates an agency and a tech that does offer some of the same creative services as the agency (i.e. landing pages) How HOOX positions itself with agency partnerships “Let us pay your rent” - increasing the margins and ROI on services… not necessarily commissions as an incentive. Why Nik uses the “Kim Kardashian red carpet experience” analogy with his partnerships strategy How Dillon enables her partners differently now vs in her previous tech partnerships role How Nik “paves the road” to ensure Dillon can continue driving her race car on the road behind him Nik's advice to CEOs on launching a partner program Sponsors: Reveal - A free account mapping solution. ‍Partnerhub® - for finding and managing your partnerships. ‍

Hello and welcome to another episode of Tasty Pages, a podcast from Cooking The Books! We start things off with a chat about giving away a pair of well-used Birkenstocks (gross!). Then we talk about the apparently deep library of topless photos featuring Victoria. There's also discussion concerning our first piece of hate (e)mail, a Buzzfeed click bait article about recipe pet peeves and our first visit to the Mall of America in a few decades! We also share listener submissions about favorite childhood snacks. Then, we talk about our featured cookbook, 'Flavor Equation' by Nik Sharma. Next, Victoria takes us to Peru for our Gastro Obscura segment to share the story of an "interesting" beverage (to say the least). Lastly, Johnny brings things to a screeching halt with two (non-racist, but also not funny - according to Victoria) Indian food jokes. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tastypages/support

On this episode of Retention Chronicles, we're joined by Ari Murray, VP of Growth at Sharma Brands and author of Go-To-Millions newsletter, which is all about getting smarter on how to successfully scale a brand to its highest potential. We've had the pleasure of working with both Ari and Nik Sharma at Sharma Brands, so it's safe to say this episode is jam packed with tons of content. We cover how Sharma Brands approaches Growth from both a client perspective and for their own in-house brands, which ecommerce verticals have a high repeat purchase rate, not sacrificing quality for the sake of growth, stealth-launching new brands and taking others from 8 to 9 figures, focusing on the customer experience rather than acquisition numbers, quality sensitivity, AI, and much more!

Branding isn't just about the visual identity of a company. In this episode, Ben Grynol talks with Nik Sharma, “The DTC Guy” who runs Sharma Brands and HOOX, about what it means to build a good brand in the direct-to-consumer marketing space. Nik points out the crucial thing to remember is that no one remembers your brand unless you're one of the top global brands, so it's best not to get overly invested in how your brand is perceived. It's best to drive consumer awareness, be consistent in providing valuable content and products, and pay attention to how you talk to and pitch your audience. Levels helps you see how food affects your health, empowering you with the tools needed to achieve health goals and improve healthspan.

Earned, paid, and owned media are some of the ways a start-up business might attract new customers and keep current ones. Growth leaders and CXO's must understand how to strike a balance between performance marketing and brand equity development. Ben Grynol spoke with Nik Sharma, CEO of Sharma Brands, to discuss the advantages of each strategy and various sorts of growth levers.

“Fun translates into good performance.” The four things every marketer should know before starting their career: Find a skill (channel) that is the most fun to do. Then specialize. Specialization brings money. Specialization solves hard problems that matter. You take this even further by also specializing in a specific industry (e.g. I specialize in marketing for fintech and insurance orgs at the moment). Understand the business you're marketing. Do your best to think like the CEO. Find an excuse to meet other experts. Personal branding is the easiest way to grow your network of mentors. Create a swipe file. This is not a new or novel suggestion, just one that works. There's a reason other marketing experts do this!
