When you think about building wealth in medicine, do you picture yourself working at one job until retirement? My guest today, Kristin Burton, proves there's a better way. She began her career like many of us, buried in student loan debt and working long hours. After paying off $161,000 in just 16 months, she realized financial freedom was about more than debt elimination.

This Day in Legal History: Organic Act Establishes the National Park ServiceOn August 25, 1916, President Woodrow Wilson signed the Organic Act, formally establishing the National Park Service (NPS) as a federal bureau within the Department of the Interior. This act marked a foundational moment in U.S. environmental and administrative law, as it created a centralized agency responsible for protecting and managing the country's growing number of national parks and monuments. Prior to this, national parks were overseen in a disjointed manner by various federal departments, often with limited resources or clear guidance. The Organic Act provided legal authority for the NPS to “conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects and the wildlife therein,” while ensuring they remained “unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations.”This statutory language introduced a lasting legal standard—the dual mandate of conservation and public enjoyment—that has guided U.S. park policy ever since. The law empowered the federal government to enforce regulations, manage visitor access, and develop infrastructure while preserving natural and cultural resources. Over time, this act laid the groundwork for the modern administrative state's role in environmental regulation. It also reflected an early recognition that public land could and should serve both ecological and civic functions.The NPS Organic Act helped inspire future legislation, including the Wilderness Act of 1964 and the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. It also fueled legal debates around resource extraction, tribal land claims, and federalism. With the stroke of Wilson's pen, the United States committed itself to a legal philosophy of stewardship, enshrining the idea that public lands are a shared national trust. This day in legal history commemorates the birth of a legal and cultural institution that continues to shape American land use and environmental governance.Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom advised Intel Corp. in securing an $8.9 billion government investment deal, which includes granting the U.S. a 10% equity stake in the chipmaker. The agreement, announced by President Trump, comes months after Skadden and eight other major law firms pledged nearly $1 billion in free legal services in coordination with the White House. These services support causes such as veterans' advocacy, fighting antisemitism, and promoting justice system fairness. The firms reportedly entered the arrangement, in part, to avoid being targeted by executive orders that had been used against competitors.Skadden's role reflects its ongoing alignment with the administration's industrial and legal policy efforts, particularly as Intel seeks revitalization. The Federal Circuit also recently ruled that the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) wrongly dismissed one of Intel's patent invalidity arguments against a competitor, bolstering Intel's broader legal position. Separately, Kirkland & Ellis, another participating firm, has been involved in U.S. trade negotiations with Japan and Korea, facilitated by Trump adviser Boris Epshteyn. The president has indicated he may rely further on these firms for legal matters related to tariffs, coal, and defense of law enforcement. Skadden's leadership emphasized internally that the firm retains full autonomy in client and case decisions.Skadden Steers Intel in Deal With Trump to Boost ChipmakerKilmar Abrego, a 30-year-old migrant whose wrongful deportation to El Salvador had made national headlines, was detained again by U.S. immigration authorities in Baltimore just days after being released from criminal custody in Tennessee. His 2019 asylum protections had barred deportation to El Salvador due to threats from gangs, but he was nonetheless removed in March in what officials later admitted was an “administrative error.” After months in a harsh Salvadoran prison, he was brought back to the U.S. in June to face criminal charges for transporting undocumented migrants, to which he has pleaded not guilty.Upon checking in with ICE in Baltimore, Abrego was arrested again and is now facing possible deportation—this time to Uganda, a country with no connection to him. U.S. officials have reportedly offered Costa Rica as a destination if he agrees to a guilty plea, but without that, Uganda remains the likely alternative, a move his legal team argues is unconstitutional and coercive. His lawyer described the tactic as the government using “Costa Rica as a carrot and Uganda as a stick.”Abrego has filed a federal lawsuit to prevent deportation without judicial review and is currently protected by a Maryland court order requiring 72-hour notice before any removal to a third country. His legal team is also seeking to dismiss the federal charges, alleging selective and retaliatory prosecution tied to his earlier challenge of the unlawful deportation. A Tennessee federal judge previously found him neither a flight risk nor a public threat, supporting his release. The case continues to spotlight the legal complexities and rights violations emerging under the Trump administration's immigration policies.Wrongly deported migrant Abrego again detained by US immigration officials | ReutersA U.S. federal judge has blocked President Donald Trump's administration from withholding federal funds from over 30 sanctuary cities and counties, including Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago, and Baltimore. The ruling, issued by U.S. District Judge William Orrick, expands a previous injunction from April that protected 16 jurisdictions. These cities had challenged two executive orders signed by Trump earlier in the year, arguing they unlawfully threatened to strip funding unless local authorities cooperated with federal immigration enforcement.Sanctuary jurisdictions typically limit how much local police assist with federal civil immigration arrests. Judge Orrick ruled that the executive orders posed an unconstitutional, coercive threat by conditioning federal funding on compliance with federal immigration preferences. His new order extends protections to additional cities that recently joined the lawsuit. He emphasized that any further actions or executive orders pursuing the same goal are likewise blocked under his injunction.The Trump administration had already appealed the earlier ruling, and the White House has not commented on the latest expansion. Separately, California Governor Gavin Newsom is suing over Trump's deployment of the National Guard to Los Angeles following protests related to federal immigration enforcement.Judge blocks Trump from withholding funds from Los Angeles, other sanctuary cities | ReutersA recent legal dispute between Apple and medical device maker Masimo is testing the boundaries of U.S. Customs and Border Protection's (CBP) authority in enforcing patent-related import bans. The case began when CBP seized five Apple Watches in Chicago due to an International Trade Commission (ITC) exclusion order, issued after Masimo successfully argued that Apple's blood-oxygen sensor infringed its patents. However, CBP later approved Apple's software workaround—which shifts blood-oxygen processing to a paired iPhone—without notifying Masimo, prompting the company to sue.Masimo argues CBP overstepped its enforcement role by effectively ruling on a patent dispute without an adversarial process, thereby undermining the ITC's authority. The lawsuit claims the workaround still infringes under the "doctrine of equivalents," which treats minor design changes as infringing if they achieve substantially the same result. Legal experts note that CBP is not equipped to handle complex questions of indirect or contributory infringement, which could occur when a product only violates a patent when used in combination with another device.The case raises due process concerns, especially as CBP's later ruling was issued ex parte—without Masimo's input—despite an earlier inter partes process. Legal observers see this as part of a larger structural flaw in how CBP and the ITC coordinate enforcement of exclusion orders. The ITC has acknowledged the lawsuit and may intervene, signaling that the dispute could influence broader agency practices. If successful, Masimo could seek enforcement penalties from the ITC, potentially up to $100,000 per day. This litigation follows a rare legal path similar to a 2013 Microsoft case against CBP that ended in settlement.Apple Watch Import Ban Work-Around Suit Tests Customs' IP Role This is a public episode.

Most people think iron is only a concern if they're deficient, but too much iron can be just as dangerous. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Christy Sutton, a leading figure in the study of iron imbalances, to explore the often-overlooked health epidemic of unrecognized iron overload. Anchored around her book, The Iron Curse, we discuss why outdated laboratory ranges often fail to detect these imbalances and why recognizing them is so crucial for long-term health. From there, we dive into the intricacies of iron metabolism and the need for updated functional health ranges tailored to healthy populations. Dr. Sutton explains how imbalances can signal underlying health problems and highlights the value of functional lab testing in catching issues conventional methods often miss. We also explore the role of genetic testing—especially for hereditary hemochromatosis—and how genetics and environmental factors work together to influence iron levels. Key Takeaways: Iron Imbalance Epidemic: Iron imbalances, particularly overload, are often underdiagnosed due to outdated lab ranges and misconceptions, representing a silent health epidemic. Functional vs. Conventional Ranges: Functional health ranges, as opposed to traditional lab ranges based on sick populations, are crucial for accurate diagnosis of iron-related health conditions. Importance of Genetic Testing: Genetic factors (hemochromatosis genes) play a significant role in iron overload, necessitating comprehensive testing beyond typical lab work. Dietary and Lifestyle Influences: Both high and low iron levels are influenced by diet, lifestyle, and, importantly, how iron interacts with other nutrients and lifestyle factors like exercise. Gender and Iron Requirements: Iron needs differ significantly by sex and life stages, with menstrual and post-menopausal women, as well as men, needing tailored iron management strategies. More About Dr. Christy Sutton, D.C.: Dr. Christy Sutton is interested in asking why health problems happen and finding the safest and least problematic solutions. Her work takes a deep and meaningful dive into genomics, labs testing and creating a personalized health plan. Her focus on finding and avoiding health landmines early stems from her personal experience with Crohn's and celiac disease plus her husband's experience with high iron, hemochromatosis, and a pituitary tumor that likely was associated with having undiagnosed hemochromatosis.

Youth suicide has become a national crisis, with devastating impacts on families, communities and health care systems. As one of the leading causes of death among adolescents, suicide presents a critical challenge for health care providers. In this third episode of the AANP Adolescent Podcast Series, hosts Dr. Jessica Peck and Ashley Hodges explore the growing prevalence of youth suicide, associated risk factors, warning signs and the essential role of nurse practitioners (NPs) in early identification, intervention and prevention. Through clinical insight, real-world experiences and practical tools, providers are equipped to navigate these complex conversations, reduce stigma and connect at-risk youth with life-saving care.--- Key Points: Suicide is the second leading cause of death among individuals aged 10–24. Risk factors include previous suicide attempts, affective disorders (especially major depressive disorder), substance abuse, bullying, access to lethal means and social isolation. Girls attempt suicide more often, but boys typically use more lethal methods (such as firearms). Situational triggers, such as online sextortion or bullying, can prompt impulsive suicide attempts with little warning. Warning signs include changes in sleep, appetite, hygiene, mood, social withdrawal, giving away possessions and expressions of hopelessness. Non-suicidal self-injury (e.g., cutting, burning) is a strong predictor of future suicide attempts. Evidence-based screening tools include the ASQ (Ask Suicide-Screening Questions), PHQ-9A, Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale and the Patient Safety Screener. Creating a safety plan and restricting access to lethal means (e.g., firearms, medications) is essential in prevention. Encouraging emotional literacy and normalizing mental health discussions with teens can foster resilience and trust. Connection, validation and early intervention save lives — NPs play a pivotal role in detection and support. Call to Action for providers and families: Don't ignore warning signs. It's okay to ask directly about suicide. Connection is a powerful protective factor. Invite listeners to share this episode and use their voice for suicide prevention.

In this milestone episode, The Intuitive Customer undergoes a transformation. Colin Shaw announces a step back from the regular hosting role, prompting a fresh chapter in the podcast's evolution. Hosts Colin Shaw and Professor Ryan Hamilton introduce two new expert contributors — Dr. Morgan Ward, a consumer psychologist, and Ben Shaw, a brand strategist — to bring fresh perspectives on customer behavior, brand experience, and the future of CX. Together, the four hosts discuss the state of customer experience today, particularly in light of the stagnant growth in the American Customer Satisfaction Index over the past three decades. They debate metrics versus meaning, the enduring value of physical retail, and the coming wave of non-visual AI-driven brand interactions. The episode sets the stage for a broader, more dynamic take on what it means to truly understand and serve customers in the modern age. Quote of the Episode "We're using metrics that are more relevant to the business than to the person actually experiencing the brand." — Dr. Morgan Ward Key Takeaways Customer satisfaction has plateaued: The American Customer Satisfaction Index has barely moved in 30 years, despite huge investments in CX. This calls into question the effectiveness of current CX strategies. ROI needs to be central: CX professionals must link experience improvements directly to financial returns if they want continued investment. Metrics can be misleading: Overly relying on simplified metrics like NPS can lead organizations astray, especially when they're gamed or don't reflect real consumer emotions. Retail is making a comeback: Resurgence in physical retail's emotional power especially among younger consumers who crave tactile experiences. The future is voice-first: How AI-driven, non-visual brand experiences will redefine customer interaction demanding new forms of design thinking. Dual focus is key: Brands must balance operational improvements today with strategic planning for a fast-approaching future filled with disruptive technologies.

In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with Dr. Felice Gersh, one of the foremost voices in functional medicine and women's health, to tackle one of the most misunderstood phases of life—menopause. Together, we unpack the real physiological changes women face during this transition, and the often-overlooked health risks that come with it. This isn't just about “hot flashes”—we're talking sleep disruption, cardiovascular risk, insulin resistance, and the metabolic shifts that can alter a woman's long-term health trajectory. Dr. Gersh pulls back the curtain on estradiol, reframing it as a life hormone—not simply a “sex hormone.” We explore why its decline affects nearly every system in the body, and how lifestyle strategies, functional medicine insights, and targeted interventions can help women not just survive menopause, but thrive through it. Whether you're in the midst of this change or helping patients navigate it, this conversation delivers the clarity, science, and hope you need to take control of health during this critical stage of life.Key Takeaways: Hormonal Shift: Menopause leads to a decline in estradiol produced by ovaries, affecting every organ system and increasing health condition risks, including cardiovascular diseases and metabolic disorders. Holistic Understanding: Dr. Gersh advocates for a comprehensive understanding of hormones in menopause, emphasizing the necessity of a proactive rather than reactive treatment approach. Testing and Diagnosis: She outlines important blood tests and diagnostic markers, such as day 3 FSH, thyroid function, inflammatory markers, and lipid profiles to better navigate menopause management. Lifestyle Interventions: Key lifestyle changes, including diet rich in plants, exercise, and stress management, are essential in promoting well-being during and beyond menopause. Functional Medicine Approach: Understanding the interconnectedness of bodily systems and the foundational role of lifestyle and hormonal therapy in women's health is crucial. More About Dr. Felice Gersh: Felice Gersh, M.D. is a multi-award winning physician with dual board certifications in OB-GYN and Integrative Medicine. She is the founder and director of the Integrative Medical Group of Irvine, a practice that provides comprehensive health care for women by combining the best evidence-based therapies from conventional, naturopathic, and holistic medicine.

Is nature nonpartisan? Earlier this year we had an interview with Dr. Caleb Scoville from Tufts University, who received an Andrew Carnegie fellowship to explore whether environmental issues are highly partisan. It can certainly seem that here in America just about everything is partisan these days, but is nature partisan?  As another of our guests pointed out, those who enjoy going out into nature come in all political flavors. That said, our guest today is Benji Backer, the driver behind the Nature is Nonpartisan campaign to get the American public – all of us – to convince the decision makers in Washington that the environment is too important to be a partisan issue.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Ben Weitz, a chiropractor with nearly four decades of experience and a deep-rooted passion for functional medicine. After suffering a serious bone injury on Halloween 2023, Dr. Weitz turned his own recovery into a masterclass in functional healing—skipping surgery and injections in favor of peptides, targeted supplementation, and upstream thinking. This isn't theory—it's application. We unpack what worked, what didn't, and why root-cause resolution still matters most. We dive into key healing tools like Forteo, collagen, and vitamin D3 + K2, while also covering deeper concepts like mTOR, longevity science, and why chiropractors often lead the way in integrative care. It's a powerful reminder that movement dysfunction, not just aging, is the true driver of poor health—and that healing starts when you treat the system, not just the symptom. Key Takeaways: Functional Medicine's Role in Healing: Dr. Ben Weitz utilized a functional medicine approach, including advanced supplements and anabolic compounds, to address a severe femur fracture. Integration in Medicine: The conversation highlights the importance of integrating functional medicine with conventional treatment strategies for optimal health outcomes. Focus on Longevity: Contrary to mainstream views, the discussion embraces a balanced approach to mTOR regulation, emphasizing muscle maintenance for longevity. Importance of Quality Nutrition: Dr. Weitz emphasizes the necessity of clean, quality supplements and a balanced diet rich in colorful vegetables, quality protein, and healthy fats. Exercise as a Health Pillar: The episode stresses the vital role of regular physical activity, particularly resistance training, for maintaining bone density and overall longevity. More About Dr. Ben Weitz: Dr. Ben Weitz is a Los Angeles-based sports chiropractor and functional medicine practitioner with over 35 years of clinical experience. He is the founder of Weitz Sports Chiropractic and Nutrition, where he helps patients address chronic pain and optimize long-term health through an integrative, root-cause approach. Dr. Weitz is also the host of the Rational Wellness podcast, where he interviews top experts in health and medicine, diving deep into topics like gut health, hormone balance, and longevity strategies. His passion lies in bridging chiropractic care with evidence-based functional medicine to support healing, performance, and preventive wellness. Website Instagram Facebook Connect with me!

The Net Promoter System Podcast – Customer Experience Insights from Loyalty Leaders
Ep. 253: Mathieu Staniulis & Séverine Clairet | Blinded by Pride: Inside a 125-Year-Old Co-Op's Return to Customer-Centricity

The Net Promoter System Podcast – Customer Experience Insights from Loyalty Leaders

Episode 253: Desjardins thought its cooperative roots made it member-first by default. Then members started leaving. Desjardins is a 125-year-old financial co-op based in Quebec. It has deep community ties and a proud history. But that pride masked a painful truth: Members no longer saw it as customer-centric. The organization believed its cooperative structure guaranteed loyalty—until low NPS scores and rising member churn showed otherwise. Mathieu Staniulis and Séverine Clairet recount how Desjardins confronted its own mythology, restructured governance, and began treating feedback as a system, not a score. Desjardins' wake-up call came in the early 2010s. Despite its co-op status, members said the experience felt disjointed. Branches operated as near-independent entities. “It was really difficult to see the full scope of our company because we were presenting ourselves as different companies,” says Mathieu. CEO Guy Cormier led a bold move: unifying the 17 siloed organizations within Desjardins under a single governance structure. But structure alone wasn't enough. Internally, CX, risk, and profit still pulled in different directions. As Mathieu puts it,  “People in charge of customer experience only talk about customer experience and NPS. People in P&L ownership talk about their performance—their bottom line. How can they improve their performance, especially on the financial metrics? And then you have the risk people trying to manage risk and deal with regulators always bringing new regulations, especially in the financial industry. And I believe we have to find a way to work together to balance customer experience, efficiency or financial metrics, and risk management.” The challenge became about integrating those forces to make balanced, member-first decisions—without sacrificing performance. Now Desjardins faces a new frontier: recreating intimacy in a digital world. Transactions moved online. But financial advice—the core of trust and loyalty—remains unsolved. The question, Mathieu says, is urgent and unanswered: “How do we bring advice into a digital world?” Guests: Mathieu Staniulis, Vice President, Products, Solutions & Digital, and Chief Transformation Officer | Séverine Clairet, Vice President Customer Experience & Marketing Strategy, Desjardins Host: Rob Markey, Partner, Bain & Company Give us feedback: Customer Confidential Podcast Feedback Send us a note: Contact Rob Time-Stamped Topics 00:01 – A logout button reveals blind spots in member experience 00:04 – Desjardins' founding story: community aid in a kitchen 00:06 – “Member-owned” in theory vs. practice across 17 silos 00:08 – How Guy Cormier unified Desjardins under one governance model 00:09 – Why NPS lagged despite a strong co-op identity 00:12 – “The S means system”: transforming how feedback drives action 00:15 – Balancing CX, P&L, and risk without silos 00:18 – The call center debate: cost now vs. loyalty later 00:20 – Journey teams as a model for cross-functional accountability 00:21 – Digital did the easy part, so what comes next? 00:22 – Can “digital” be intimate? The next frontier for co-ops Notable Quotes [15:00] ​​ “It was really difficult to see the full scope of our company because we were presenting ourselves as different companies. … We had to pivot from working together, but in silos.”  [16:00] “We believe we're member-focused, but we were lagging in NPS. We were also losing membership, so we had to pivot and change all of that, changing the way we look internally at our performance, raising NPS as the top KPI for our company.” [16:00] “That's the equation of NPS. Buying more, referring more, and staying longer mean more profitability. For P&L, it means better risk management, because there's a tendency to lower your risk when you have loyal customers with you. So you have to bring that all together.” [17:00]  “We were very proud of Desjardins, especially in the Quebec market. In some lines of products, we have almost 40% market share. You will see a branch of Desjardins in every town. It's deep in our roots.” Additional Resources Read Bain's case study, From Laggard to Leader: Desjardins Evolves Member Centricity for the Digital Age: https://www.bain.com/client-results/from-laggard-to-leader-desjardins-evolves-member-centricity-for-the-digital-age/

El Camino Real de Los Tejas is a network of trails that connected Spanish missions, settlements, and military outposts from Mexico through Texas and into Louisiana. Now a national historic trail, this road played a crucial role in the Spanish colonization of the region in the late 1600s. It served as a vital route for communication, trade, and military movement.  Over time, that trail facilitated cultural exchange and interaction between Spanish settlers, indigenous peoples, and later, Anglo-American pioneers. The 2500 mile route is marked by numerous historical sites, including mission ruins, forts, and early settlements. It provides a tangible link to the colonial past and the diverse communities that shaped Texas and the broader Southwest.  The Traveler's Lynn Riddick takes a stroll along the trail with expert Steven Gonzales, who shares his knowledge about the significance of the trail and the American historical narrative.

You can theorise about Customer Experience all day, but gaining a Net Promoter score of 90 is not a theory. It shows a great focus and implementation of Customer Experience. This week, we are exploring how this was achieved with Kamron Kunce, VP of Marketing & Customer Experience at RJ Young. https://www.rjyoung.com/ RJ Young has been in business for over 70 years and boasts a world-class NPS score of 90+ — no small feat in today's hypercompetitive market. Kamron shares how they've transformed their Customer Experience, navigated organisational silos, and are thoughtfully introducing AI into their processes — without losing that all-important human touch. If you're wrestling with legacy systems, struggling to turn CX theory into practice, or figuring out how to scale with AI without alienating customers,  this episode is packed with practical tips you can take away today. And, if you're a regular listener, you'll know this one plays right into one of Ryan's and my favourite themes: breaking down those silos! Best Quote From the Episode “Customer Experience is everyone's responsibility. It's not just about Customer Service — it's about aligning the whole organisation around delivering value at every touchpoint.” — Kamron Kunce, RJ Young Key Takeaways ✅ CX must be a core business strategy, not a bolt-on function of Customer Service. RJ Young's “Make It Right Guarantee” puts this principle front and centre. ✅ Map your Customer Journey — and revisit it regularly. Quarterly and annual reviews keep RJ Young's CX aligned to ever-evolving customer expectations. ✅ Break down silos with transparency. Weekly cross-functional updates and quarterly company-wide video broadcasts ensure alignment across 700 employees and 9 states. ✅ Cross-functional collaboration is critical. Everyone, including Finance and HR, plays a role in the Customer Experience. ✅ Thoughtful use of AI is the future. RJ Young is leveraging AI to improve backend data insights and operational efficiency, without removing the human element that drives loyalty. ✅ CX + Culture go hand in hand. Embedding CX into your company culture is essential for sustainable success.

We probably need to find out because if we rely on comforting homilies, we might find the CFO won't quite get it ;-)   - Why do we think the 'human touch' matters? - When we think about the human touch, what scenarios come immediately to mind? - AI / Automation has proven to improve CX in many cases, so is the case being made that more AI / Automation should mean further improvements in CX? - Does the source of the candidate matter when thinking about the 'human touch' - When do we think are the most important moments in the hiring funnel for the human beings to be involved? - Can sometimes 'more human' make things worse? - What does it look like when we have the perfect blend of AI driven efficiency and human delivered empathy? - Do we need to quantify the human touch? If so how does that connect with OKR / KPI's? - What do we - as humans - need from a recruitment experience?   All this and more with Jean-Marie Caillaud, Founder (WorkMeTender), Carrie Brophy, Senior Director Talent Acquisition (Marriott International) & Mark Kunaseelan, Head of Resourcing (University of Arts, London)   We are on Friday 1st August, 2pm BST / 9ET - follow the channel here (recommended) and save your spot for this demo by clicking on the green button.     Ep321 is sponsored by our friends Willo   Recruiting for high-volume positions in a global, diverse workforce is increasingly challenging, especially when relying on traditional methods and the limitations of written CVs.

He became a successful entrepreneur in the health and wellness space, distributing Isagenix products and building multiple ventures.

What does it take to build a brand that resonates across cultures… not just across markets?   In this special dual-guest episode, Lacey Peace sits down with Nataly Kelly, Chief Marketing Officer at Zappi, and Katherine Melchior Ray, UC Berkeley lecturer and former executive at brands like Nike, Hyatt, and Louis Vuitton. Together, they co-authored the new book Brand Global, Adapt Local: How to Build Brand Value Across Cultures and they're here to share the lessons learned from decades of global brand-building. Nataly and Katherine dive deep into why cultural intelligence is the most under-leveraged skill in modern CX, why brands that ignore cultural context are building in globalization debt, and how something as simple as a melon can repair — or ruin — customer trust. They explain the importance of shared values, the risks of applying the same CX metrics globally (spoiler: NPS doesn't mean the same thing in every country), and how AI is both accelerating and complicating cross-cultural brand connection. From real stories about Kit Kat's flavor strategy in Japan to awkward CX blunders in global grocery stores, this episode is packed with tangible takeaways and perspective shifts for any business looking to scale with humanity and intention. Get your copy of Brand Global, Adapt Local: How to Build Brand Value Across Cultures now!   https://www.amazon.com/Brand-Global-Adapt-Local-Cultures/dp/139861971X Key Moments:   00:00 Do Customer Service Expectations Differ Across Cultures?06:03 Why Cultural Intelligence Is Crucial for Global Business07:04 Co-Authors' Nataly Kelly & Katherine Melchior Ray's Meet cute  15:18 Real-Life Cultural Missteps and Surprising Service Norms24:13 Can AI Replace Cultural Insight?

Customer experience pros often face a common challenge: robust metrics like NPS or CSAT fall flat outside the CX team. Why? Because other departments don't see how those numbers connect to their goals.This episode explores how to bridge that gap by translating CX data into the language of IT, Operations, and Finance. It's not about dumbing down the data. It's about building context. When CX metrics highlight inefficiencies or opportunities for cross-functional wins, they become powerful tools for collaboration.You'll hear how to align CX insights with departmental priorities so the data speaks to what each team cares about most. We also explore using behavioral and operational data, like service calls, churn rates, or purchase frequency, to demonstrate real business impact. Plus, we introduce the Customer Experience Success Blueprint, a framework designed to help CX initiatives integrate seamlessly with broader organizational goals.Want your CX initiatives to gain real traction?

Two women from Italy and the US tell Datshiane Navanayagam about following the movements of growing wolf packs in Yellowstone National Park and the Italian Alps.Elisa Ramassa started work as a park ranger in Italy's Gran Bosco di Salbertrand, near Turin, in 1997. That same year the park recorded the first sightings of a wolf pack. They'd been extinct in the Italian Alps since the 1920s. She's spent the whole of her career tracking the local wolves, observing pack behaviour and family structures, while watching the population re-establish itself. Erin Stahler is a biological science technician and the programme manager for the Yellowstone Wolf Project. Wolves were reintroduced to the park in 1995 and there's now 10 packs making up a steady population of around 100 wolves. She says the wide open spaces of Yellowstone National Park make it a perfect place for studying the fascinating behaviour of wolves.Produced by Jane Thurlow (Image: (L) Elisa Ramassa courtesy Elisa Ramassa.

Paul Berkowitz is the nation's leading authority on the history and evolution of law enforcement in the National Park Service (NPS). He has served as an expert witness in federal court, and as a guest instructor at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center. He is the author of several books about NPS law enforcement, and continues to write and serve as an instructor and guest speaker at police academies, colleges and universities, and seminars across the country. A recent report by CBS News cites that as federal policies and staffing levels rapidly change in the name of government efficiency, park and historical sites across the United States are in jeopardy of losing out on important federal protections. The National Park System Advisory Board was quietly dissolved in May. Across the entire National Park Service, 13 percent of employees were pushed out since January, a loss of up to 3,000 workers. With nearly $1 billion in budget cuts to the National Park Service proposed for next year, national parks advocates estimate 350 additional historical, cultural or natural sites nationwide are at risk of closing. Add to this dilemma, the fact that park staff was already reduced and overworked before the Trump Administration cuts began. Paul uncovered a fascinating history of crime and crime-fighting in our national parks and forests that goes back over a century. His research and writing have served to debunk many of the popular myths about the “ranger image,” shedding light on the critical law enforcement role that rangers have long played in our national parks and other public lands. Much of this research was first chronicled in his seminal book, U.S. Rangers – the Law of the Land (CAT Publishing, 1991 – 1995).  Paul's career was also distinguished by his role as a whistleblower, reporting, writing, and even testifying before a Congressional subcommittee about government corruption, up to and including illegal bugging activities and cover-up of high-level management misconduct. Some of those events and activities are chronicled in his award-winning book, The Case of the Indian Trader: Billy Malone and the National Park Service Investigation at Hubbell Trading Post (University of New Mexico Press, 2011).* Paul's third book, Legacy of the Yosemite Mafia – the Ranger Image and Noble Cause Corruption in the National Park Service (Trine Day LLC, 2017) draws upon much of his previous research, writing, and personal experience to expose and demonstrate how the failure of the NPS to acknowledge or appreciate its actual history – both good and bad – has undercut credibility, alienating impacted individuals and communities and ultimately impeding the agency in the fulfillment of its statutory mission.   Want to watch: YouTube Meisterkhan Pod (Please Subscribe)

Episode 251: In 2018, Dell set out to do something big: turn customer feedback into a system that could not only provide insights, but help set priorities and run the business. They had the data. They had the intent. But they made a compromise that many organizations settle on: Rather than enforce one unified approach to customer feedback, they allowed each team to build its own. While this helped with initial adoption and change management, it also led to fragmentation—multiple tools, different methods, no shared truth. And it got worse over time. Real progress ultimately would require centralizing what had become scattered. When Dell's Marc Stein appeared on this podcast in 2018 (episode 129), the company had just completed its EMC merger and launched a chief customer office. The ambition: one integrated Net Promoter System to tie sentiment to economics and put the customer at the center of every decision. But good intentions ran into a harsh reality: Every function was listening to customers, but no one was hearing the same thing.  In this episode, Mike Valanzola, Dell's Senior Director of Voice of Customer and NPS Operations, picks up the story. He explains how misaligned tools, siloed ownership, and governance gaps made customer feedback hard to act on. His team didn't want to tear down what existed. Instead, they brought it together. Through consolidation, centralization, shared standards, and stronger governance, they transformed scattered signals into an enterprise-wide system of action. The turning point came with the Customer Experience Roadmap and Accreditation. The CXRA gave Dell a framework to drive internal accountability and rebuild trust in the system. As Mike describes, cross-functional teams now meet weekly to act on shared signals. Tomorrow's goal? Make every employee a promoter and make every signal actionable.

Episode 250: Comcast solved the age-old problem of how to make employee suggestions a powerful, reliable source of value-driving improvements at scale.   Sean McEntire, Comcast's Vice President of Customer Strategy and Operations, explains how the Outer Loop channels every employee elevation—no matter how small—through a disciplined screen, assigns a named owner, and tracks progress in public view. Ninety thousand teammates now feed a single pipeline that forces scattered ideas into accountable hands and verified fixes, solving 7,000 customer pain points so far. A frontline agent's push for an easy‑to‑use, large‑button remote shows the system at work: The idea passed triage in hours, landed on the product team's desk, and shipped nationwide within months—evidence that voices on the floor can reshape the hardware in customers' hands. Once an elevation clears triage, technology, operations, or product leads must respond within set deadlines—accept, reject, or ask for data. Every decision and follow‑up lives on the same dashboard employees use to log ideas, so trust grows with each visible step. As McEntire puts it, “CX is all about transparency. If you're going to be transparent with your customer, you need to be transparent with your teammates.” The result? Faster fixes, rising JD Power and NPS Prism rankings, and a workforce that, 10 years into the transformation, keeps feeding the Outer Loop because they've seen their suggestions become reality.

Episode 249: When “revenge travel” brought guests roaring back to Four Seasons Hotels, they capped occupancy, turning away guests and revenue. Scott Taber, senior vice president of global hospitality, describes the Four Seasons philosophy: No points, no perks. Just great properties, individual recognition, personal service, and an emphasis on making sure the first five minutes after check-in are spectacular. That belief was put to the test when the world started traveling again and labor gaps persisted at the end of the pandemic. The company had a choice: chase revenue or protect intimacy. It chose intimacy. To avoid overextending staff and diluting the experience, Four Seasons capped occupancy. The organization focused on preserving what Scott calls the “first five”: those opening minutes that define a guest's stay. “People want to see your eyes and your teeth,” he says. They want to be recognized, not processed. That doesn't mean resisting tech. Four Seasons embraced tools that support connection: a CRM “golden record” surfaces each guest's preferences so staff can deliver personal touches at scale. They also rolled out a proprietary 11-platform chat tool that helps staff resolve 80% of requests within 90 seconds. Last year, they set an NPS record.  Culture provides the foundation for the organization's enduring success. Recruiting favors empathy, veterans mentor newcomers, and managers celebrate tiny moments of recognition as fiercely as revenue. With management contracts that stretch a whopping 80 years, Four Seasons plays the long game: culture first. For Four Seasons, the strongest currency isn't points, but people.

We want to be with this hotel, we want to be with this project, for the long term. It's the vision of Mr. Sharp [Four Seasons' founder] committing himself to the property and us being committed to the property for that period of time. I think there are some pretty good foundational elements to keep us going for a long time to come.” 00:12 “ [Customers] want to be remembered and appreciated for their business.

Harris, 44, completed his sentence for disseminating harmful materials to minors after previously serving 10 years for sexual exploitation of a child. His murder conviction was overturned in 2022 by the Georgia Supreme Court, citing prosecutorial misuse of evidence. While former Cobb DA Flynn Broady declined to retry Harris, current DA Sonya Allen is reviewing the case. The release has reignited emotions surrounding the tragic death of 22-month-old Cooper Harris.

July 31 2024, a 39-year-old ultrarunner vanished in the rugged North Cascades National Park during a 20-mile trail run. Minimally equipped, he became disoriented on wildfire-altered trails, surviving 30 days on berries and river water. Despite extensive searches by sheriff's deputies, park rangers, and a helicopter, the park's dense forests and remote terrain hid him. A trail crew's chance discovery saved his life as he lay emaciated on a riverbank.  Join us this week as we learn about the incredible survival story of Robert Schock.SHOW NOTE - We're off for the next month as we move into our new studio.  We'll be back in August with new episodes!  Learn more about Locations Unknown: https://linktr.ee/LocationsUnknownCheck out our other shows on the Unknown Media Network:Crime Off The GridOff The TrailsThe Peanut Butter and Mountains PodcastThe Weirdos We Know  Who Runs This ParkNew Patreon Shoutouts: Kierstyn Skelton, Christine Brown, Michelle Barstad, Sara Carroll, & Trina LohmanWant to help the show out and get even more Locations Unknown content!  For as little as $5 a month, you can become a Patron of Locations Unknown and get access to our episodes early, special members only episode, free swag, swag contests, and discounts to our Locations Unknown Store!  Become a Patron of the Locations Unknown Podcast by visiting our Patreon page.  (https://www.patreon.com/locationsunknown)  All our Patreon only content (Audio & Video) can now be accessed via Spotify.  (Active subscription to our Patreon channel is required.) -- Locations Unknown Subscriber Only Show | Podcast on Spotify  Want to call into the show and leave us a message?  Now you can!  Call 208-391-6913 and leave Locations Unknown a voice message and we may air it on a future message! View live recordings of the show on our YouTube channel: Locations Unknown - YouTubePresented by Unknown Media Group.Hosts: Mike Van de Bogert & Joe EratoBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/locations-unknown--6183838/support.
