WHAT WAS SAID “The era of followers is dead.”Urban Outfitters' Head of Brand Marketing and Communications, Cyntia Leo, wrote the obit for follower counts during one of the first sessions Monday morning: How Brands Are Winning With Creator-Led Strategies in 2025.“This is really a time about the algorithm,” said Cyntia. “Creators help us be in the algorithm, not just being in the platform.”The idea that follower count no longer holds the value it once did echoed throughout the week.Prop CEO Joseph Perelli drove the point home in a panel on creators and performance marketing: “Obsessing over followers is the biggest mistake marketers make.” Between fake followers, poor audience targeting, and limited organic reach, follower count is no longer a reliable metric — for creators or brands.Takeaway: If leadership still insists on hiring creators based on follower count, it's time to let them know the game has changed. Smart marketers are prioritizing deep content alignment and leveraging creator content for paid media opportunities.Now that our feeds have changed from who we're following, to what they're talking about, follower count matters less than a topic alignment, said Sprout Social Vice President, Outbound Product Management, Brittany Hennessy.Brittany pointed to Loewe and how they opted for the “cucumber guy,” TikToker Logan Moffitt, instead of a fashion or beauty creator when the company launched a cucumber-scented candle.There's a lot of conversation about topic-based marketing, agreed Nya-Gabriella Parchment, UTA's Head of Brand Partnerships.When you understand what your consumer is talking about, what they're truly interested in, what movies they're watching, what podcasts they listen to, that's when, “you can understand who's leading that conversation to tap into and work with,” Nya recommended.Takeaway: Topic alignment is another way of saying ‘Don't focus on follower count.' Instead, brands should prioritize creators who are actively driving conversations around consumer interests — like cucumbers.I got to speak with Lindsey Gamble and Adweek's Senior Tech Reporter, Kendra Barnett, on a panel titled: Creator Content Only Belongs on Social... Or Does It?Spoiler alert: Creators are being effectively deployed up and down the funnel and across every channel.“Creator-featured ads do much better,” echoed Snapchat's Global Head of Public Figures, Francis Roberts, during a panel on Building a Brand That Lasts.The benefit of creators isn't purely for advertising purposes. With more brands launching personality-first projects — like Substack newsletters — creators are becoming even more indispensable for their creative skills and audience insights: these are partners who understand the type of content audiences want to consume!Takeaway: You're not just paying for assets or access to an influencer's audience, said Lindsey: “What I'm really excited about is bringing them in as consultants, bringing them in as creative partners. That leads to more co-creation and collaboration, as opposed to just, ‘Here's a brief, go create a video.'“You want to lead with a content-first approach.”“Brands want to be humanized, and creators can help them.”
You're not crazy, clingy, or broken—you've just been conditioned to believe your worth is tied to someone else choosing you. In this episode of Hot and Unbothered, your host, Brianna Gomez, dives deep into the self-worth shift that changes everything.

If you've ever felt like you're giving too much and losing yourself in the process, this is your reminder: you are the prize.

I was planning to talk about Infinity War today… But after Thunderbolts, I can't stop thinking about Marvel's boldest twist in years— The New Avengers are here. And I have a lot to say. This isn't a deep recap. It's a raw, passionate reflection on what this new team really means. They're not perfect. They're not polished. But they might just be the most honest group of heroes the MCU has ever assembled. Let's talk about redemption, mental health, and why this misfit lineup hit me harder than expected. If you've been obsessing too… this one's for you.
Written and directed by Jason Buxton, Sharp Corner tells the story of Josh (Ben Foster), a mild-mannered family man whose life seems stuck in neutral. He goes to work but seems dissatisfied. He loves his family but there seems to be something missing. Still, his world finally feels like its moving forward with the purchase of their new family home. However, their home is situated on a very sharp corner that is hazardous to drivers. Then, when a devastating car disrupts their sense of tranquility, Josh's inability to act creates an obsession with saving lives. As his fixation builds, Josh's dive into darkness begins the threaten the safety of his family and the security of his relationships. In this 1on1, we speak to Buxton about obsessing over our dark side and the line between the heroes and villains.

In today's fast-paced world of cryptocurrency booms, sports betting apps, and market volatility, it's easy to blur the lines between investing and gambling. Some even suggest they're essentially the same: putting money at risk in hopes of a reward. But that's a serious oversimplification—and it misses what sets these two activities apart, not just financially but morally and biblically.Let's examine closely how Scripture, wisdom, and faith guide us in thinking rightly about risk, wealth, and the difference between gambling and godly investing.Surface Similarities, Foundational DifferencesYes, both investing and gambling involve uncertainty. But the nature, purpose, and outcome of that uncertainty reveal a stark contrast.Investing is thoughtful risk—measured, intentional, and directed toward long-term growth and productivity. It's about building something: a business, a future, a legacy. Gambling, on the other hand, is a zero-sum game. One person's win always comes at another's loss. There's no product created, no value added—just money changing hands, often driven by chance.Scripture doesn't condemn risk itself. In fact, Ecclesiastes 11:1 encourages wise, forward-looking activity:“Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days.”Farmers sow in faith, business owners launch ventures without knowing outcomes, and faithful stewards invest, trusting God while using His resources wisely.At its best, investing helps others flourish. When you invest in a company, you support its ability to hire employees, create products, and expand services. It contributes to the real economy. This aligns with the biblical call to participate in the common good and steward what we've been given.In contrast, gambling thrives on imbalance. Its business model depends on extracting wealth from those who can least afford to lose it. According to numerous studies, gambling establishments disproportionately profit from those in financial distress. That's not just unfortunate—it's unjust.Scripture speaks clearly on this:“Ill-gotten gains do not profit anyone, but righteousness rescues from death.” - Proverbs 10:2 “Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed.” - Isaiah 1:17When we gamble, we're often not just risking money—we may be supporting an industry that profits from injustice and preys on desperation.Faithful Investing Is an Act of StewardshipIn the Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14–30), Jesus praises servants who wisely multiply what was entrusted to them. This wasn't a message about maximizing profits—it was about faithfulness. The servants who acted wisely weren't gamblers but stewards who took action with the Master's interests in mind.That's the heart of Christian investing: not chasing gains but multiplying God's resources to serve others and glorify Him.As stewards, we ask not just what we invest in but why. Are we motivated by generosity or greed? By love for neighbor or love of money?Gambling feeds on a dangerous lie: “If I just get lucky, everything will be better.” It exploits our dissatisfaction and fuels a restless craving for more.But the Bible calls us to contentment, not a compulsive pursuit of wealth.“Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, ‘Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.'” - Hebrews 13:5That warning doesn't apply only to gamblers. Even investing, when driven by fear or pride, can become a spiritual trap. Hoarding under the guise of saving. Obsessing over returns instead of resting in God's provision. That's why heart-checks are essential: Am I trusting in God—or in my portfolio?Gambling Turns Money into a God—Investing Can Turn It into a ToolJesus was clear:“You cannot serve both God and money.” - Matthew 6:24Gambling often makes money the master—something to chase, fear, and idolize. But investing, done with a kingdom mindset, makes money a servant—something to steward and direct toward God's purposes.That's why investing should never be seen as a get-rich-quick scheme. It's a long-term discipline rooted in wisdom, patience, and generosity. It's a way of preparing for the future while contributing to the flourishing of others today.Here's the bottom line: how we handle money is never just a financial issue—it's a spiritual one.Gambling often reflects distrust in God's provision and a desire for quick fixes. When done right, investing reflects wisdom, contentment, and a desire to serve.Here are a few reflective questions to consider:Am I making financial decisions out of fear or faith?Is my heart set on what money can do—or on what God has already done?Do I view my investments as a way to bless others or simply benefit myself?Your Security Is in Christ, Not in ReturnsIn today's uncertain economy, it's tempting to look for shortcuts or put our trust in performance. But real peace doesn't come from perfect financial planning—it comes from knowing the One who holds your future.Whether you're investing, giving, saving, or simply getting by, remember:Your ultimate treasure isn't in the stock market or your net worth—it's in Christ.As you steward God's resources, don't chase the illusion of easy wealth. Instead, pursue faithfulness, justice, and generosity.That's not just wise investing. That's worship.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I have a question about what I actually need to do as far as whether we look at an estate attorney, whether we look at a CPA, whether we look at a financial planner. We have several homes and investments and want to create a trust, but we just don't know which direction to go with it.I want to know if our portfolio is conservative enough. We have about $900,000 to $1 million in property.

Rahul Vohra is the founder and CEO of Superhuman. Prior to Superhuman, Rahul founded Rapportive, the first Gmail plug-in to scale to millions of users, which he sold to LinkedIn in 2012. He is also a prominent angel investor, and his fund has invested $50 million in over 120 companies, including Placer, Supabase, Mercury, Zip, ClassDojo, and Writer.What you'll learn:• The unexpected insight about virality Rahul gained from LinkedIn's head of growth.• Why Rahul restructured his entire executive team to spend 60% to 70% of his time on product, design, and marketing instead of the typical CEO responsibilities.• The counterintuitive approach to finding product-market fit using a methodical system inspired by Sean Ellis, and how this algorithmically determines your roadmap.• How

Jeannette is joined by Kerry Healy, Chief Commercial Officer for Accor Hotels in the APAC region, who shares her inspiring journey in the hospitality industry. From her early days in hotel school to navigating the complexities of a major global organisation, Kerry discusses the importance of emotional intelligence, mentorship, and the courage to ask for what you want. She reflects on her experiences with imposter syndrome, the value of failure as a learning opportunity, and the significance of setting boundaries for personal well-being KEY TAKEAWAYS Understanding the values and dynamics of a large organisation is crucial. Building relationships with mentors and advocates can significantly impact career growth. It's important to have a voice and advocate for oneself in a corporate environment. Many individuals, especially women, struggle with imposter syndrome. To combat this, it's essential to focus on self-validation, seek help from mentors, and recognise that no subject is too complex to learn about. Failure is a part of growth. It's important to analyse what went wrong, learn from mistakes, and avoid repeating them. Recognising what is within one's control can help in managing setbacks effectively. Protecting personal time and mental space is vital for maintaining well-being and effectiveness as a leader. Establishing clear boundaries with both oneself and the team fosters a healthier work environment. BEST MOMENTS "Brave for me is doing exactly what I said before. It is asking for what you want. It is putting yourself in uncomfortable situations." "If I don't put my hand up for this role, I'm staring at another three years reporting to someone else. I know I can do this role." "Obsessing about what you can't do won't help you grow or get there." "You have to deliver what you say you're going to do, right? You are your own brand in a big organisation."

Obsessing over food, weight, and body image — constantly starting over but never finding lasting peace?

Why do we obsess over people who give us nothing? Why does unavailability make someone more attractive? And how do you break free from this cycle for good? In this solo episode, Sabrina Zohar dives deep into limerence—the psychological trap that keeps you fixated on the wrong people. But this isn't just about dopamine and attachment theory; this episode goes further, exploring: The real reason you can't stop thinking about them (hint: it's not because they're special). How childhood patterns train your brain to mistake anxiety for attraction. Why fantasy and longing feel safer than real emotional intimacy. IFS (Internal Family Systems) techniques to uncover and heal the wounded parts of you that keep chasing the unavailable. How to disrupt the obsession cycle with practical, body-based tools. The question that will break the spell: What am I afraid will happen if I let them go? If you're stuck in your head, constantly replaying what-if scenarios, or convincing yourself they must be the one—this episode is for you. It's time to step out of the fantasy and reclaim your power.

This is one of those things that I wish I would have understood as clearly in my 20s and 30s as I do now in my 40s… but I guess that's living and learning. It's the understanding that the small things are what matters. The small things we do or don't do everyday. It's what Warren Buffet describes as the power of compounding interest. It's building a little snow ball and rolling it down a very long hill. It's slow then it's fast. This is my problem with the whole - don't sweat the small stuff thing. I appreciate not having anxiety and worrying about every little thing but at the same time - when you give yourself a pass on the habits that would add up to the person you want to be - things like - making the sales calls, lifting weights, eating healthy, taking your supplements, doing regular doctors visits, having the uncomfortable conversations, avoiding toxic things in the environment and toxic people… You miss the little things - that add up to the big things. We're unpacking it today! You wake up one day with a chronic disease and you're like when did this happen? It started 20 years ago. When did this happen? It happened today! It's the TINY decision you decided to do or not do that didn't seem like it mattered. It compounds - and it's almost invisible. It's slow then it's fast. That's why it's so easy to overlook the small things. If you are competitive like me - know that most people overlook the small things - which gives you a competitive advantage if you obsess over the small things. This mindset change is everything. It's realizing that small actions - hundreds of small actions stack up over time to create big change. Here are some examples across different areas of life: Personal Development * Reading for 10 minutes a day: Over a year, this adds up to about 12–15 books, enriching knowledge and perspectives. * Journaling one line of gratitude: Shifts mindset to focus on positivity and resilience. * Writing down one lesson learned: Helps build wisdom and awareness through reflection. * Practicing deep breathing for 2 minutes: Builds mindfulness and reduces stress, with lasting effects on mental clarity. Health and Wellness * Stretching for 5 minutes: Enhances flexibility and prevents injuries over time. * Taking the stairs: Improves cardiovascular health and builds strength in small ways. * Drinking a glass of water first thing in the morning: Boosts hydration and kickstarts metabolism. * Adding one vegetable to meals: Slowly shifts your diet toward more whole, nutritious foods. Relationships * Complimenting or appreciating one person daily: Strengthens connections and builds goodwill. * Spending 5 distraction-free minutes with loved ones: Deepens emotional bonds over time. * Sending a quick check-in text: Maintains friendships and relationships without requiring large time commitments. Professional Growth * Writing or brainstorming for 5 minutes: Over time, this can result in innovative ideas or improved skills. * Networking with one person weekly: Grows a professional network exponentially over time. * Learning one new word or skill daily: Adds up to 365 small improvements in a year. Financial Habits * Saving a small amount every day: Even $5 daily grows to $1,825 in a year, which can compound further with investments. * Tracking one expense daily: Builds financial awareness and helps identify patterns over time. * Skipping one impulse purchase: Redirecting that money toward savings or investments compounds into financial stability. Creativity * Doodling or sketching for 2 minutes: Enhances creativity and visual thinking skills. * Capturing one photo a day: Trains your eye to see beauty and inspiration in the mundane. * Writing 50 words daily: Adds up to a novel in a year!

Carbs aren't the enemy, you just need to know how to eat them!? Best-selling author and gluten-free chef Phoebe Lapine joins us to share her game-changing health journey. Diagnosed with Hashimoto's and battling SIBO, Phoebe did what most of us would: she cut carbs completely. But it didn't lead to better health… instead, it left her stuck in a cycle of restriction and confusion. Through a LOT of personal experimentation, Phoebe discovered that carbs can actually SUPPORT healing when you know how to choose the right ones. Spoiler alert: you don't have to live in fear of bread anymore! In this episode, Phoebe breaks down how slow carbs (not low carbs) can help improve energy, reduce inflammation, and bring more balance to your life. She also shares her top mindset shifts around food freedom, including how to eat without fear and find joy in cooking again. If you've ever felt trapped by diet culture or unsure of what's truly good for you, this conversation will change how you think about your plate. Get Your Copy of Carbivore! HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS: Not all carbs are created equal. Slow carbs like sweet potatoes, legumes, and whole grains provide long-lasting energy and don't spike blood sugar the way refined carbs do. Cutting carbs completely can backfire. Completely eliminating carbs can cause fatigue, irritability, and hormonal imbalances, especially for those with thyroid conditions. Stress around food is worse than the food itself. Obsessing over every bite can increase cortisol levels, which negatively impacts digestion and overall health.
