Send us Fan MailTwo businesses can charge the same price today and be on opposite margin trajectories five years from now, purely because of the architecture sitting underneath that number. One gets more profitable as it grows; the other gets squeezed with every new customer. This episode is about designing that architecture on purpose.Mena starts with discounting as a diagnostic: persistent discounting isn't a sales problem but a signal pointing at one of three causes, and J.C. Penney's disastrous 2012 "fair and square" experiment shows why you can't simply switch off years of trained customer behaviour. Stuart then unpacks the traps of unit pricing, the default model most owners fall into without choosing it, from the billable hour that punishes efficiency to the petrol-station race no one wins on quality.Mena lays out the real choice between fixed, tiered and modular pricing (with Australia Post, Canva and IKEA as clean examples), and Stuart explains why scope is the boundary that makes any of them work. Finally, Mena drives home the cost base as a non-negotiable floor, using Porter Davis Homes' collapse under fixed-price contracts as the cautionary tale. Closes with four steps to build your own pricing system. If this episode resonated with you, please leave a rating on your favourite podcast platform.

Sean and Andrew are finishing up their conversation about nitrogen with Iowa State University's Dr. Mike Castellano and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign's Dr. Andrew Margenot. This time, they're focusing on how you can manage nitrogen on your acres to achieve high yields, reduce environmental impact and improve your bottom line.   The crew discusses: ✅ How to be stewards of the land while chasing high yields ✅ Understanding nitrogen availability throughout the growing season ✅ Trials you can do on your acres to expand your farm's  database ✅ Replenishing the nutrient pool in your soils ✅ Ideal nitrogen timing and application rates across the Midwest  

On Sept. 11, 2001, Air Force 1st Lt. Heather "Lucky" Penney launched from Andrews Air Force Base in an unarmed F-16 with orders to stop United Flight 93 by ramming it, if that's what it took. Twenty-five years later, on the eve of the 25th 9/11 anniversary, the retired Air Force major joins Tango Alpha Lima to tell the full story: the plan she and her flight lead worked out in a briefing room, the peace she says she felt with it, and the passengers fought the terrorists and made the mission unnecessary. Plus, the rest of her story beyond the day of the terrorist attack: being told at Purdue University that "girls can't be fighter pilots," two combat deployments, night "Scud hunter" missions over Iraq, and a retirement advocating for the next generation of aviators with the Mitchell Institute. Also in this episode: Constitution Day, the history of women in aviation, and the Mitchell Institute's new report on the space frontier.SHOW LINKSLearn more about how to celebrate Constitution DayTreat lower back pain with restorative neurostimulation.

What does it take to create a store that people visit even when they are not planning to buy anything? In this episode of the Innovation Storytellers Show, I speak with Ron Johnson, the creator of the Apple Store, former CEO of J.C. Penney, and author of Shop Different: How Retail Revealed Apple's Genius. Ron shares the experiences that shaped his approach to leadership, beginning with an unlikely high school soccer transformation and continuing through his work at Target, Apple, and some of the most influential retail innovations of the past several decades. Ron explains how Target made great design accessible through its groundbreaking partnership with architect Michael Graves, and why committing to 140 products created a movement that a cautious three-product test never could have achieved. He also takes us inside the creation of the Apple Store, where the objective was not simply to sell computers, but to remove people's fear of technology through welcoming spaces, hands-on experiences, and human support. We hear the story behind the Genius Bar, including why Steve Jobs initially preferred the name Geek Bar, and how Ron persuaded him that genius offered employees and customers something aspirational. Ron also reveals why the Apple Store on Fifth Avenue was built underground, how its glass cube changed the Manhattan skyline, and why opening it 24 hours a day generated $80 million in overnight sales during its first year. Our conversation goes beyond retail. It is about finding a story that gives people something to believe in, communicating a vision clearly enough that teams can act on it, and having the courage to commit fully when an idea has the potential to change an industry. Can physical spaces still create the human connections that digital convenience often removes, and what could your organization learn from the story behind the Apple Store? Share your thoughts.  

In this episode of Future Shop, host Wendy Liebmann sits down with retail visionary Ron Johnson—former Senior VP of Retail at Apple and former VP of Merchandising at Target. Ron opens up about his storied career, including the creation of Target's groundbreaking "Design for All" collaborations with icons like Michael Graves, and the strategy behind launching Apple's revolutionary retail stores. Together, they explore what made these retail models endure, the critical lessons learned from his attempt and failure to transform J.C. Penney, and how physical retail will adapt and thrive alongside AI and digital innovation.HighlightsDemocratizing Design: How Target brought high design to the masses with Michael Graves and changed the discount retail strategy.Building Apple's Retail Empire: Behind the scenes with Steve Jobs to create the Genius Bar, overcome technology fear, and design stores for everyone.Lessons from J.C. Penney: The risks of moving faster than your customer and what retail failure teaches about brand transformation.The Future of Retail & AI: Why AI won't kill physical stores and why omnichannel retail continues to win.Send us Fan MailVisit our website for transcripts, links mentioned on this episodes, and video podcasts.

2 Part Series:Are we starving our souls while overfeeding our egos? Join Thomas Freeme in conversation with acclaimed clairvoyant and intuition expert Penney Peirce. In this fascinating discussion, Penney challenges the modern definition of "consumption."While we meticulously track our physical diets and amass intellectual knowledge, we rarely ask how these choices affect our spiritual well-being. Thomas and Penney explore the concept that the soul has its own requirements, which are often ignored in favor of immediate physical gratification. Furthermore, they delve into the danger of living without "presence." Penney reveals how a lack of moment-to-moment awareness allows us to be overtaken by a tidal wave of unprocessed emotions and the toxicity of negative self-talk. This is a must-listen episode for anyone looking to align their physical reality with their spiritual essence.

Sean and Andrew are joined by Iowa State University's Dr. Sotirios Archontoulis to discuss his research on the relationship between different generations of corn hybrids and nitrogen variability.   The crew discusses: ✅ Managing the impacts of weather during the growing season ✅ Old era vs. new era hybrid research and data collection  ✅ Yield efficiency compared to physiological efficiency ✅ Nitrogen supply in relation to post-harvest management practices  ✅ GGD and SDD effects on yields  

I talk with Ron Johnson, creator of the Apple Store and Genius Bar, former J.C. Penney CEO, and author of Shop Different, about what really made Apple's retail strategy work. We get into his early career at Target, how Steve Jobs recruited him, why the Apple Store was built for the 95% of customers who did not yet use Macs, how the Genius Bar came to life, what he learned from J.C. Penney, and why he remains optimistic about AI, work, and the future of retail.

Sean and Andrew round out their conversations at Purdue University with five of the best and brightest agronomy graduate students.

With the conclusion of the Super Rugby season comes the end of Rob Penney's tenure with the Crusaders. His three years coaching the team were something of a rollercoaster – with a horror first season at the helm followed by a title win, and this year making it only to the semi-finals. Penney told Piney that for him, the greatest privilege is being a local lad and getting the opportunity to be involved with a great organisation.

In Chilling Effects: Repression, Conformity, and Power in the Digital Age (Cambridge UP, 2025), Jonathon W. Penney explores the increasing weaponization of surveillance, censorship, and new technology to repress and control us. With corporations, governments, and extremist actors using big data, cyber-mobs, AI, and other threats to limit our rights and freedoms, concerns about chilling effects – or how these activities deter us from exercising our rights – have become urgent. Penney draws on law, privacy, and social science to present a new conformity theory that highlights the dangers of chilling effects and their potential to erode democracy and enable a more illiberal future. He critiques conventional theories and provides a framework for predicting, explaining, and evaluating chilling effects in a range of contexts. Urgent and timely, Chilling Effects sheds light on the repressive and conforming effects of technology, state, and corporate power, and offers a roadmap of how to respond to their weaponization today and in the future.

In Chilling Effects: Repression, Conformity, and Power in the Digital Age (Cambridge UP, 2025), Jonathon W. Penney explores the increasing weaponization of surveillance, censorship, and new technology to repress and control us. With corporations, governments, and extremist actors using big data, cyber-mobs, AI, and other threats to limit our rights and freedoms, concerns about chilling effects – or how these activities deter us from exercising our rights – have become urgent. Penney draws on law, privacy, and social science to present a new conformity theory that highlights the dangers of chilling effects and their potential to erode democracy and enable a more illiberal future. He critiques conventional theories and provides a framework for predicting, explaining, and evaluating chilling effects in a range of contexts. Urgent and timely, Chilling Effects sheds light on the repressive and conforming effects of technology, state, and corporate power, and offers a roadmap of how to respond to their weaponization today and in the future.

"Lived Through That” is the companion podcast to my book where I look at influential musicians of the 80s and 90s and where they are today. On this podcast, we'll delve deeper into a single pivotal moment in the lives of some of the artists I feature in that book, as well as other artists I love and admire. The stories they tell are open, honest, and inspiring. We have Jonn Penney from the band Ned's Atomic Dustbin on the show this week! Few bands captured the restless energy of the early nineties British indie scene quite like Ned's Atomic Dustbin. With their twin-bass attack, amazing live shows, and a debut album that turned heads on both sides of the Atlantic, they burned bright.  But, none of that might have happened had Jonn's father not bought a new house.  Intrigued?  Listen on to hear more.
