The Experience Strategy Podcast Hosts: Aransas Savas, Dave Norton, Joe Pine Featured articles: "Death of the Segment: Why Personas Are Killing Personalization" — SwiftERM "Your Personas Are Outdated. It's Time to Evolve Your Approach." — Audrey Chee-Read, Principal Analyst, Forrester Every other post on LinkedIn is announcing the death of something. Most of it is alarmist storytelling dressed up as insight. But under the noise, two recent articles — one from SwiftERM, one from Forrester — are pointing at a real problem: personas and segmentation, built for an earlier era of marketing, have become a drag on personalization in the era of AI. Dave, Joe, and Aransas trace where personas actually came from, why they got merged with segmentation, what AI changes about the math, and what should replace the persona as the stable determinant companies are still looking for. The answer Dave keeps returning to: situations. Key Ideas Personas were never built for marketers. Dave opens with the history. The persona originated around 1999–2001 as a design thinking technique to get engineers to think more like customers. It worked. Then it migrated into marketing and merged with segmentation, and the original purpose got lost. Segmentation is the search for a stable determinant. Companies need something they can count on to define a market — geography, demographics, lifestyle, generation. Stable determinants make markets identifiable, and identifiable markets are countable. But the stability is increasingly fictional. Customers are not stable. They want different things at different times. Joe's arc: mass market → segments → niches → markets of one → markets within one. Joe walks the progression from Henry Ford's mass market through Alfred Sloan's segments through the minivan that opened up niche thinking. Stan Davis's Future Perfect (1987) saw the path to markets of one. What comes next is the flip: multiple markets inside every customer. Joe on a business trip is a different market than Joe on a leisure trip with his wife, even though it is the same person and the same credit card. This is the situational markets argument. Dave's frame: situations can be the new stable determinant. Friday night with your wife is a context. Monday morning before work is a context. Travel in cold Chicago is a different context than travel in France. The behavior changes with the context, even when the person does not. The SwiftERM line that lands the case. "While your team is busy building a persona for Sarah, the 35-year-old yoga enthusiast, Sarah has already moved on. She isn't a persona. She's a dynamic stream of intent." She bought a yoga mat six months ago. For the last three days, her behavior shows interest in high-end supplements and weightlifting gear. The persona missed the shift. The window of intent closed before the system caught up. Bayesian thinking is the right math for this. Predictive analytics has historically used past behavior to predict future behavior — yesterday you watched a romance, so tomorrow you will too. The newer move is using context, not just history. Yesterday you watched a romance because it was Friday and you were with your wife. The probability updates with every new piece of information. AI makes this practical at scale for the first time. The Apple Watch and Netflix examples make it concrete. The latest Apple Watch update no longer just serves up the workout you did last. It serves up the workout you usually do on that day of the week. Aransas lifts Monday and Wednesday and the watch knows. Netflix recommends romance on Friday night because the pattern holds across the whole user base. Restaurants have understood this for a hundred years — they do not serve breakfast at nine at night because they read the context. Customers have the same AI you do. Joe's reminder at the end is the one that should make every CMO uneasy. Customers can now vibecode their own shopping experience. They can customize as easily as you can customize for them, and they will configure it for their own context every time. The companies that win are the ones whose offerings can flex to the customer's situation, not the ones with the most polished persona deck. A Word on "Moments" Dave makes a careful distinction at the end. Moments is the right idea, but 20 years of design thinking have loaded the term with retail-moment-one, retail-moment-two, retail-moment-three thinking — discrete and product-out, not organic and customer-out. Situations carry the meaning without the baggage. Memorable Moments Joe: "I might be multiple personas, but you never say there's a person, they're that persona. That's just wrong — morally, much less business-wise." Joe: "Dave has yet to find a situation in which talking about situations does not work." Dave's bathroom study: weather changed bathroom usage at French gas stations. It did not move the needle at Chicago train stations. Different situational markets. Aransas on the Paris Marathon: one toilet, a hundred urinals, 20,000 runners — half of whom needed to sit. A persona designed for one imagined customer, and the actual situation ignored. Joe on the American Girl Place men's bathroom stocking products that men do not use — because the company actually thought about who was walking in with their daughter. The Strategic Takeaway Companies need something they can count on. Personas have stopped being that thing. Aggregated situations — Friday night, business travel with kids, post-workout, end-of-quarter — are stable enough to plan against and dynamic enough to respect what the customer actually wants in the moment. AI no longer makes one-to-one a scary thing to attempt. The excuse is gone. The companies that move now will be the ones the customer feels actually understands them.

MERCH - https://nonmembersshop.com/Welcome to Boston Marathon Weekend! We are back in our usual hotel, ordering the exact same Mexican food, and forcing ourselves out of the "editing cave" to socialize. Erin kicks off the episode by recounting her high stakes experience sitting in the airplane exit row, which included completely misunderstanding the safety card instructions ("See fire? Open door!").We officially announce our new merch drop and a chaotic "mystery trinket" tier where you receive a random item from one of our homes. We also detail our plan to walk around carrying a pair of Boston Marathon special edition Shokz headphones to randomly give away to any listener we spot in the wild. We then recap our trip to the Track at New Balance for the marathon relay, where our sole mission was to find the legendary Sausage Guy cart. This resulted in us texting Ali on the Run to confirm the food situation, marveling at our "one-sided beefs", and loudly booing Chris Chavez as he ran laps on the track.We also had the chance to talk with NYC Marathon Director Ted Metellus, getting his take on the Paris Marathon replacing water bottles with hoses and teasing some updates to "Project Finish." Finally, we investigate the "whimsical" band The Last Dinner Party after seeing their fans lined up in full Renaissance and pirate garb. We then describe our feelings on our live bonus episode podcast coming out this week. We go out on the streets on Boston Marathon day and talk about the vibes and the chaos.
This episode covers recent running controversies including Nike's controversial marathon signage, a suspicious marathon record, and the Paris Marathon's water station changes. Join us for an engaging discussion on ethics, marketing, and race integrity in the running community.

Send us Fan MailA surgeon once told Lionel Pailloncy to give up running after back surgery. Years later, he's not only running again, he's finished the original six World Marathon Majors and just took 20 minutes off his marathon PR in Tokyo. From Paris to Boston and beyond, Lionel's story isn't about being the fastest, it's about refusing to let one diagnosis or one hard year define what's possible. We talk about the real mechanics of a comeback: physiotherapy, respecting your body in everyday movements, and rebuilding confidence one small step at a time. Lionel shares how he went from park runs to a 10K, then a half marathon, then his first Paris Marathon and why each race feels like its own emotional “cathedral.” We also get into the mental side of endurance, including the pressure of Strava metrics, the unpredictability of race day, and the moment he pivots away from chasing numbers toward gratitude and meaning. If you love practical running conversations, you'll enjoy the details too: vegan fueling while traveling, A-B testing gels, hydration habits, gear choices down to socks and seams, and the packing ritual that calms the mind before the gun goes off. Lionel also shares what might be the wildest week ever, defending his PhD viva in Paris and immediately flying to Boston to run again.

From wedding livestream dilemmas to world‑record OCR performances, Episode 268 is packed with everything from the heartfelt to the downright chaotic. Alan and Ian kick things off with wedding talk — including why there will definitely be no Patreon commentary track from the big day — before diving into the brand‑new Farm Yard Jam medal design from Tim Rolfe. It's bold, it's beautiful, and it might cost a small fortune… so they're asking the community to weigh in. The running chat gets spicy as they roast the Paris Marathon's "bring your own bottle" disaster, celebrate Clark Reynolds' groundbreaking marathon using smart‑glasses guidance, and debate whether energy gels belong in the delivery room. There's tech nostalgia, fundraising shoutouts, and a deep dive into the London Landmarks Half route — plus Ian's ambitious challenge for Alan to run at least one mile in every ceremonial county in England (and maybe the whole UK). Strava group incoming. OCR fans get a full buffet: Nuclear Races updates, Tremor Tracks hype, High Rocks news, Deadly Dozen world records, OPP400 results, Briony's insane 37‑hour G1M performance, and the latest on VJ Shoes after VJUSA's closure. They wrap with Olympics OCR dates, Farm Yard Jam 24‑hour ticket news, and a look ahead to next week's Deadly Dozen Sprint breakdown. A stacked episode from start to finish.

Mick Fox (2:19 marathoner) and Matt Fox (2:18 marathoner) return with another episode of the Fastest Fox series. They cover the current marathon period with Rotterdam complete and Boston and London just ahead, before moving into debates around race weather, hydration policy, shoe technology, underrated running creators, and where the sport is heading.

They discuss how different forecasts can shape not only race-day execution but also the appeal of one event over another, noting that Boston looks relatively cool while London may be much warmer. That leads into a broader reflection on how unpredictable weather remains one of the biggest variables in marathon racing. The conversation then shifts to the Paris Marathon and its controversial trial of removing cups at aid stations. Mick and Matt question whether the policy, while environmentally motivated, creates unnecessary inconvenience and potential risk for runners trying to hydrate properly during a marathon. They also discuss Paris winner "Cripp," and use the race to make a wider point that events outside the Abbott World Marathon Majors can still offer fields, atmosphere, and performances that rival the biggest races in the sport. From there, they explore what really makes a marathon feel "major," including the influence Abbott has had in shaping perception and expansion. They also touch on some of the most popular European races for fast times, especially from an Irish perspective, with Valencia, Seville, Dublin, and Frankfurt all mentioned as strong options depending on goals, timing, and conditions. The episode also includes discussion around Rotterdam's 2:03 to 2:04 winning standard and whether modern marathon performances are being driven primarily by shoe advancements. Mick and Matt acknowledge that training, depth, and professionalism all matter, but argue that shoe technology has clearly played a major role in lifting the level of the event and the sport more broadly. Matt then shares updates from China, where he is researching a shoe brand referred to as "QD," while also thinking through broader ideas around business, running culture, and product access. That includes discussion of a paid group-run app, the possibility of an online shoe store, and what it might look like to help people access performance footwear that is less visible in Western markets. Later in the episode, the discussion becomes more personal, moving into the tension between travel and family life, the way sleep and routine are affected by constant movement, and the wider shift on social media toward short-form content. Mick and Matt also spotlight underrated running creators including Dan Nash, Ryan Creech, and Caroline Hassett, before briefly debating Josh Kerr's mile world record ambitions and whether he could eventually be a serious marathoner. They wrap up by pointing listeners toward the private podcast and deeper training discussion.

Happy National Grass is Always Browner on the Other Side of the Fence Day! We kick things off by admitting we are dropping a lot of balls lately. We share an update on the impending Craig Conover 10K challenge (which is only a week away and causing Erin severe anxiety), tease our upcoming interview with the CEO of the Enhanced Games, and excitedly announce that we might be doing a live podcast from the Fan Zone at the Boston Marathon! (still unsure if this is happening)Erin then recaps her stressful airport experience heading to Puerto Rico, where a relaxing visit to the lounge turned into a full blown panic sprint across terminals. We also share Dan's Puerto Rico adventure where he called the Coast Guard to rescue missing kite surfers, only to end up chatting about helicopters with a maintenance worker. The ultimate lesson learned? Having hobbies will just make you "go dead." We also settle the debate on the difference between a modem and a router.In sports news, we celebrate the US Sled Hockey team securing the "Golden Hat Trick" with an epic behind the back pass from Brody, and shout out our friend Trey Cunningham for winning bronze at the Indoor World Track and Field Championships. We then critique the 2026 Paris Marathon's plan to go completely bottle free, which seemingly involves waterboarding runners with high powered hoses.Finally, we cover a massive wave of pop culture and internet news. We honor the "passing" of Chuck Norris by reading classic memes, break down the shocking cancellation of The Bachelorette (featuring Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Taylor Frankie Paul) just days before airing, and expose a French military officer who leaked a warship's location via a Strava run. For "How About We Just Die," we discuss the horrifying viral video of a guy who cooked his steaks with plastic decorative garland for six months thinking it was fresh rosemary. We wrap it all up with a wholesome "No Bad, No Sad" about an entire high school boys' basketball team showing up to cheer on their biggest fans: a local 4th grade team.
No cups at the aid stations on race day? It might sound like a nightmare to some runners… but in this episode of The Fuel Run Recover podcast I'm sharing my thoughts on why this is ultimately the right move in road racing. In this episode, I'm sharing why I think events like the Paris Marathon are moving away from disposable cups, why we might see more races following this lead going forward. If you're a runner who's always relied on the aid stations during races, I'm sharing how you can get prepared for this switch, and why I personally have always raced with my own hydration. We'll talk about the pros, the backlash, and the practical side of making this work in your own training and racing.Looking for the resources mentioned in today's episode?Get your free fueling audit here!And if you're ready for more support, I've got options—whether it's my brand-new ebook Fuel Smarter, Run Stronger, my group programs The Fueled Runner nutrition program, The Fuel Train Recover Club, or apply for limited spots in my personalized 1:1 coaching programs.

Let us know with a quick text!Laura Green, a mom, comedian, and runner, shares how she started running at 12 through cross country, trained seriously in high school in New York, and later ran at Northeastern while majoring in physical therapy.After college, she shifted to more recreational trail and road running, completing under 10 marathons, including a first marathon in Nashville to raise money for a friend's wheelchair, and repeated Boston mainly to visit friends; she especially enjoyed New York City and the Paris Marathon.She prefers cross country and trails for their playful feel and reduced focus on the clock, and says discipline and consistency matter more than motivation.As a parent, she often “wakes up and goes,” uses electrolytes, Maurten gels, and recovery calf sleeves, cross-trains with Peloton and CrossFit due to hamstring pain, and emphasizes proper shoes, feasible volume, and that marathons aren't required to be a runner.Laura Green - https://www.instagram.com/lauramcgreen/Races MentionedRock N Roll Marathon NashvilleBoston MarathonNew York MarathonParis MarathonLouisiana MarathonShout OutsChaseSupport the showFor more details on Run Your Story happenings, visit https://runyourstory.com/For web development or tech services, visit https://gaillardts.com/Go Run Your Story and take a piece of this story with you!

I just want to get your opinion. This follows a, shall we say, spirited discussion in the office around people who are trapped overseas and how they get home. I'd love to hear from people who might have been in this position before, trapped overseas because of acts of war or closed borders or forces of nature. What did you do and what was your expectation? Did you think it was the responsibility of the government taxpayer to get you home? And if you had chosen to live overseas and then the world turned mad, again, is it the responsibility of the government taxpayer to get you home? I find it really interesting and a little bit sad that people are complaining the government taxpayer should be doing more to help family members trapped in Dubai because of the enormous disruption to flights caused by the Iranian conflict. Sure, the Government sent a Defence Force plane to Iran last year during the Israel-Iran conflict, and during Covid we partnered with Australia to get stranded travellers out of Wuhan in 2020, but I really don't believe there should be an expectation that if you have chosen to travel or chosen to live in another country and then the mud hits the fan for whatever reason, that you will automatically and immediately be rescued. I had family living overseas in London for a while, and if they had suddenly found themselves in the middle of a war, I'd be doing all I could to get them out. And if there was a plane there, I would want them on it, whether it was a government plane, a commercial aircraft, whatever, I would be doing all I could to get them out of there, absolutely. But I wouldn't expect the government taxpayer to do it for me. I have been stranded overseas before when the Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajökull blew up. I was in Paris doing the Paris Marathon, airspace over Europe was closed, travel insurance didn't help, and you were on your own. And there are worse places to be than trapped in Paris in the springtime, I will grant you that. And it was ash blowing into the cities, not Iranian missiles, but statistically right now, although that could change at any minute, there would be more chance of me being run over on the Champs Élysées back then than killed by a missile in Dubai right now. But that's statistics and that emotion doesn't come into it, I get that. When your loved ones are stranded overseas, you want them home and you want them safe. But is it on the taxpayer to provide that? I don't think so, but am I being a heartless moll? I've been accused of that before. But I just, you know, I get the emotion, I totally do, because I've been there. You want your loved ones home, you want to get home, but I never assumed that my first port of call would be the Government. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today on Bad Runners Take:Are 200-mile races becoming a distraction or the main attraction in the ultra running community? How do you feel about profitable races existing on volunteer labor?Josh got into the Paris Marathon. Why is it so hard for trail runners to run on the road for a season?Josh Rosenthal and Brian Peterson dive into these questions as they explore the growing prominence of these long-distance events. They discuss the implications for elite athletes like Courtney Dauwalter, who is preparing for Cocodona 250, and how such races might shift focus away from traditional 100-mile competitions. The conversation also touches on the culture of volunteerism in the sport, particularly in relation to profitable races, and the balance between community support and financial gain. As the two navigate these topics, they reflect on their own running experiences and the evolving landscape of trail and ultra running.----Devil's Gulch 100 miler, 50 miler, 13.1 miles.

Josh reflects on the conflict between road marathons and his identity as a trail runner. The evolution of running shoes from durability to performance models has shifted expectations. There's a debate on whether elite runners should focus solely on traditional 100-milers. BorderlandsInstagramYouTubeThreadsLinkedIn

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Tom Dunlap discuss:Letting go of the old things to promote the new things. The power in relinquishing control. The two paths to scaling. Finding the right fit for your team, clients, and fees. Key Takeaways:Having your name on the door makes you the lightning rod for problems. It is not as big of a benefit as most lawyers think. If viable for your firm, consider bringing in non-lawyer team members who can help with the non-legal aspects of running a firm. You have to find the right fit clients in the right stage in the right scope. If some people don't say ‘no' to your fees, you're charging way too little. "You went to law school to be a lawyer. The highest and best use of your time is the billable hour and getting clients and keeping them happy. If you want to manage a law firm, you should have professionals who work for you doing it." — Tom Dunlap Find out more about the 10 Easy-to-Execute Hacks to Unlock Your Full Potential at: https://fretzin.com/events Thank you to our Sponsors!Lawmatics: https://www.lawmatics.com/bethatlawyer/Get Staffed Up: https://getstaffedup.com/bethatlawyer/Green Cardigan Marketing: https://greencardiganmarketing.com/ Episode References: The Snowball System: How to Win More Business and Turn Clients into Raving Fans by Mo Bunnell About Tom Dunlap: Tom is the managing partner of a law firm he does not run and is the better for it.

In episode 149, I spoke with Fiona English who posted an open letter to the Boston Marathon in January 2023 to ask them to review their deferral policy, for women like herself who earned a Boston Qualifying (BQ) entry before becoming pregnant. The Boston marathon and the qualifying time is held in high regard globally. After running 17 marathons, through hard work and determination, she qualified running a BQ time at Paris Marathon in April 2022 running 3:27:05, after running 5:47 for her first marathon. When this podcast was recorded, the Boston Athletic Association (B.A.A.) policy had a strict no deferral policy. However during the recording of the podcast unbeknownst to Fiona and I, the B.A.A. posted on Instagram noting they changed their policy to allow for entry deferral post pregnancy. This is thanks to everyone that spoke following the post, but more importantly the pioneers before that made this final push possible. There's definitely more that needs to be done, one of those things is focused on the remaining three marathon majors, to follow suit in having progressive deferral policies. Further information on resources to create a level start line for women include: She Races https://www.sheraces.com &Mother https://andmother.org You can follow Fiona on Instagram at @englishruns Thank you to everyone that supports this podcast and this episode and thank you to my patreons who support the show.

I do not have a new conversation to share with you this week but I am going to re-run a previous episode of the podcast with Lindsay Flanagan that was recorded in early 2020, just a few weeks before the Olympic Trials Marathon, where she ended up finishing 12th. Since that day in Atlanta, Lindsay has made some huge breakthroughs in the marathon and as a fan, it's been super fun to watch. This past April she was 11th at the Paris Marathon in a personal best 2:26:54, and then, just a few months later in July, she won the Gold Coast Marathon in Australia, breaking the tape in a new course record, and another personal best, 2:24:43.It was fun to revisit this conversation and hear Lindsay's thoughts on the marathon and what she's learned from it over the years, dealing with injuries throughout her career and navigating periods of time when she couldn't run, what she's learned as a coach of age-group athletes, and a lot more.
