Have you ever felt that knot in your stomach when your big kid seems off—and you immediately start wondering what you did wrong? This reaction doesn't come from insecurity—it comes from love. Especially in this stage of motherhood, when your role feels less clear and so much feels uncertain, it's easy to make your child's experience mean something about you. Today, I'm continuing the Mindset Traps of Parenting Teens and the Empty Nest series with a focus on Personalization. Once you understand why your brain keeps pulling you into taking responsibility for things that aren't actually yours to carry—and how much that's costing you—you'll start to see a different way to stay connected to your child without carrying so much guilt, anxiety, or emotional weight. This episode will change how you think about taking things personally so that you can let go of emotional responsibility and find real peace in this stage of motherhood.

Paula Macaggi sits down with Ankur Goyal, SVP of Growth at Coterie, to explore how a premium, subscription-first brand can win in one of the most competitive and emotional consumer categories: baby care. They unpack how trust is built when product, brand, and customer experience work together, why messaging matters more than channels, and how Coterie balances performance marketing with long-term brand building. From controlling customer acquisition costs and prioritizing quality over quantity, to using service and personalization to drive retention, this conversation reveals what modern DTC growth really looks like and what comes next for the brand following its recent acquisition.

Two taps. That's all it took to reorder your regular Dunkin order through CarPlay while driving. Sounds like the perfect frictionless feature, right? Except it was quietly training customers to spend less on every visit because they never discovered loaded hash browns existed. Sometimes making things too easy becomes the problem.This encore episode brings back one of our most quoted conversations with Adam Candela, who spent five years leading digital at Dunkin and fundamentally changed how we think about balancing frictionless with profitability.  Join hosts Chuck Moxley and Nick Paladino as they revisit why this episode matters.Nick literally quotes it in meetings once a week, particularly the CarPlay example that shows how extreme optimization in one direction can backfire. Adam breaks down why frictionless isn't just about speed and simplicity, but about creating experiences that are quick, thorough, profitable, and get customers to return and recruit others to your brand. We explore when personalization crosses from convenient to creepy, why "it's digital, just turn it on" stakeholders fundamentally misunderstand product complexity, and the power of creating psychological safety so your QA team feels comfortable sharing game-changing ideas. Key Actionable Takeaways:Balance ease with discovery opportunities - Making reordering too frictionless can train customers into routines that prevent them from discovering new products, hurting both upsell and brand loyalty buildingCreate psychological safety for frontline insights - QA teams and people closest to the product often have the best ideas; build team dynamics where they feel comfortable sharing without fear of being dismissedChallenge "it's digital, just turn it on" stakeholders - Digital initiatives require architecture planning, story pointing, QA test cases, understanding customer needs, and solving actual problems, not just quick implementation of requested featuresWant more tips and strategies about creating frictionless digital experiences? Subscribe to our newsletter! https://www.thefrictionlessexperience.com/frictionless/Download the Five Step Site Speed Target Playbook: http://bluetriangle.com/playbookAdam Candela's LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/adamcandela Nick Paladino's LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/npaladino Chuck Moxley's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chuckmoxley/Chapters:(00:00) Introduction(01:00) CarPlay upsell problem(02:15) Creepy vs convenient(02:45) Hippo dynamics(03:15) Stakeholder pushback(04:09) Adam's Dunkin role(05:21) Defining frictionless(06:15) Loyalty vs repeat purchase(08:30) CarPlay integration details(11:45) Losing upsell opportunities(14:30) Personalization boundaries(17:00) Location-based notifications(20:15) Android Auto moment(23:45) Tech adoption humility(27:30) Team idea generation(30:00) QA team insights(33:15) Psychological safety(37:00) Hippo self-awareness(38:19) Acronym correction(38:45) Biggest misconception(39:15) Digital should be quick(40:00) Asking why matters(41:15) Solution vs problem(42:24) ConclusionKeywords:Chuck Moxley, Nick Paladino, Adam Candela, The Frictionless Experience, Dunkin Donuts, Inspire Brands, CarPlay integration, mobile ordering, upsell optimization, customer loyalty, personalization limits, location-based marketing, psychological safety, product management, stakeholder management, digital complexity, QA teams, frictionless profitability, customer recruitment,, mobile app strategy, product discovery,

#770 Ever wondered how to build a real business with almost no startup cash — just your personality, a passion, and a good walking route? In this episode, host Brien Gearin sits down with Paul Whitten, founder of Nashville Adventures, to break down exactly how he started and scaled a walking tour company from scratch — without a big marketing budget or tons of upfront capital. Paul shares his origin story (from military service to finding his “this doesn't feel like work” calling), how he validated the idea with a soft launch (and a memorable first $40 in tips), and the grassroots tactics that fueled early growth — think chambers of commerce, hotel concierges, and relentless relationship-building. They dig into what actually differentiates a great tour (personalization, entertainment, and making guests feel seen), how to hire guides without losing quality as you scale, why reviews are the lifeblood of the business, and the role SEO, PR, and smart marketing play in building a tour company that can grow toward corporate events, new cities, and potentially even franchising! What we discuss with Paul: + Starting a tour business with little capital + Paul's military-to-entrepreneur journey + The “$40 proof of concept” moment + Partnering with hotel concierges + Chamber of Commerce networking strategy + Making tours personal, not scripted + Hiring guides without losing quality + Reviews as the lifeblood of growth + Learning SEO before outsourcing marketing + Scaling into corporate and private events Thank you, Paul!

The conversation dives into how baseline AI literacy is rapidly becoming essential for everyone, not just technologists. Patrick explains how learner demand on Coursera has surged, with AI enrollments accelerating and shifting from introductory content toward more advanced topics like agentic AI, orchestration, and role-specific application of AI tools.Boaz and Patrick explore how large language models are being integrated directly into learning experiences through Coursera Coach—an AI-powered tutor designed to deliver personalized, efficient, and high-integrity learning. Patrick outlines why memory, contextual relevance, fast feedback loops, and verified assessments are critical for adult learners who need to upskill quickly while balancing real-world constraints.Finally, the episode looks ahead to the future of education and work, touching on global access, AI-powered translation and dubbing, voice-based interaction, role-play simulations, and the potential role of avatars. Patrick closes by framing the future as “skills-first and accessible,” underscoring Coursera's mission to ensure that verified, job-relevant skills are available to learners everywhere.This episode is essential listening for founders, operators, educators, and professionals who want to understand how AI is reshaping not just productivity, but the entire learning and workforce ecosystem.Chapters[00:00] From Educators to EdTech: Patrick's Journey to Coursera[04:24] AI Literacy as the New Baseline Skill[07:18] The Rapid Rise of AI Learning Demand on Coursera[08:17] From Intro to Agentic AI: How Learner Needs Are Evolving[11:22] Tracking Skills at Scale with Coursera's Career Graph[14:31] Coursera Coach: AI Tutors, Personalization, and Memory[17:32] Learning by Doing: Role Play, Labs, and Real-World Practice[19:41] Anxiety, Relevance, and the Need for Continuous Upskilling[21:31] Helping Learners Navigate an Uncertain Career Future[24:31] Global Access: Translation, Dubbing, and Emerging Markets[26:21] Voice, Avatars, and New Interaction Models in Learning[28:49] Andrew Ng's Influence on Coursera and AI in Education[30:26] The Future of Work and Learning: Skills-First and AccessibleConnect with Patrick SupancLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/patricksupanc/Connect with Boaz AshkenazyLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/boazashkenazy/Email: info@shiftai.fm

As advisors race to deliver “personalized” portfolios at scale, a hard reality is setting in: most personalization is still just a model tweak with a nicer label. Meanwhile, clients want more hands-on service, more transparency and more customization, while firms are trying to grow without hiring an army of operations and investment staff. The result is a widening gap between what clients expect and what legacy portfolio tools can realistically deliver. The firms that win won't be the ones stacking more complexity. They'll be the ones using automation to deliver truly bespoke outcomes, with clearer decisioning, tighter risk controls and better records behind every trade. In this episode of The WealthStack Podcast, host Shannon Rosic sits down with Wes Caywood, head of distribution at Pave Finance, to unpack what “real personalization” actually means in 2026, why portfolio complexity rarely translates into client-perceived value and how automation can make portfolio management more defensible, not less.  Key takeaways: How to modernize portfolio management with “blowing up” your existing workflows Where AI actually fits in portfolio management Where the personalization gap shows up most clearly (and why it becomes an ops and time problem fast) What automation should capture for compliance, auditability, and transparency  The biggest mistake firms make when evaluating portfolio tech Resources: Listen to WealthStack on Wealth Management Subscribe and listen to WealthStack on Apple Podcasts Subscribe and listen to WealthStack on Spotify Connect with Shannon Rosic: Shannon Rosic WealthStack website Wealth Management Connect with Wes Caywood: LinkedIn: Wes Caywood LinkedIn: Pave Finance Website: Pave Finance About Our Guest: Wes Caywood is the Head of Distribution at Pave Finance, where he works closely with advisors and firms to modernize portfolio management through thoughtful use of technology and automation.

STOP intermittent fasting if you think it automatically keeps you young. In this episode, you'll learn why short-term fasting results can mislead long-term aging outcomes, and how duration, frequency, refeeding, and protein intake determine whether fasting supports longevity or quietly accelerates decline. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Valter Longo, one of the world's leading longevity researchers with over 30 years of experience studying aging, nutrition, and disease prevention. Dr. Longo is the Director of the Longevity Institute at the University of Southern California's Leonard Davis School of Gerontology and the Director of the Longevity and Cancer Program at IFOM, the Italian Foundation for Cancer Research Institute of Molecular Oncology in Milan. He is the author of the bestselling book The Longevity Diet and was named one of TIME Magazine's 50 most influential people in health care for his research on fasting-mimicking diets. Together, Dave Asprey and Dr. Longo explain why many people focus too heavily on short-term effects and extrapolate them incorrectly across a lifetime. They break down how intermittent fasting differs biologically from multi-day fasting, why five-day fasting cycles trigger deeper cellular changes, and how insulin, IGF-1, mTOR, and growth hormone shape aging, regeneration, and disease risk over time. The conversation covers protein and amino acid intake, muscle preservation, frailty risk, and the tradeoffs between strength, function, and longevity. They explore ketosis, fasting-mimicking diets, stem cell activation, mitochondrial function, neuroplasticity, and why equilibrium and cycling matter more than constant restriction. Dave and Valter also discuss supplements, nootropics, creatine, carnivore-style eating, metabolism, sleep optimization, and how AI may eventually personalize fasting and nutrition based on individual biology rather than population averages. You'll learn: • Why short-term fasting benefits do not predict long-term longevity • How fasting duration changes gene expression and cellular regeneration • The difference between intermittent fasting and multi-day fasting • How protein and amino acids influence mTOR, IGF-1, and aging • Why muscle, strength, and longevity must be balanced, not maximized • When ketosis overlaps with fasting and when it does not • Why supplements can disrupt biological equilibrium • How AI could support future personalization in fasting and nutrition Dave Asprey is a four time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

Episode 62 starts where every serious AI podcast should: Adam Sandler movies, Bobby Boucher lore, and a suspicious black eye.Then things spiral fast.Drew Brucker and Rory Flynn catch up after the holidays and dive headfirst into what's actually happening across Midjourney, Nano Banana Pro, system prompts, and the growing gap between “fun” image generation and production-ready work. They unpack why Midjourney V8 still hasn't landed, what the Style Creator and personalization updates really mean, and why editing remains the most important missing piece.From there, they break down how system prompts, structured workflows, and layered instructions are quietly becoming the real unlock for visual AI. Expect deep talk on nodes, Claude, Gemini, Nano Banana Pro, mood boards, contact sheets, consistency at scale, and why most people are still underusing these tools.Then the existential dread kicks in.They explore Moltbook and autonomous AI agents talking to each other, forming communities, filing bug reports, questioning consciousness, and accidentally exposing their owners. It's funny. It's uncomfortable. It's probably important.The episode closes with Google Genie, open-world AI environments, and the creeping sense that we've officially crossed into “things are getting weird” territory.Equal parts practical, hilarious, and mildly alarming.

Healthy aging isn't just about years—it's about living well NOW to enjoy vibrant decades ahead!Or as we jokingly say in this episode, "two-steppin' your way to better health!"We had the pleasure of featuring Dr. Jacob Coffman of Optimize Chiropractic. The conversation isn't just about pain relief; it's about mastering mobility, building healthspan, and making sustainable changes for the long run.Here are our top 3 takeaways:Healthspan should MATCH lifespan: Don't just aim to live longer; aim to maximize the years you're strong, mobile, and active. Dr. Coffman highlights that the average person spends about 12 years in poor health—let's reduce that gap!Personalization is key: One-size-fits-all care doesn't exist. Whether it's strength training, lifestyle tweaks, or balancing work/life demands, effective plans are tailored to each person's goals and realities.It's never too late to start: No matter your age or starting point, small, consistent steps—like upping your daily steps, increasing fiber, or focusing on balance—can lead to meaningful improvement.We love Dr. Coffman's reminder that we should set realistic goals, move consistently, and fiercely protect our function as we age. Baby steps, done regularly, deliver big results!If you like this episode, please let us know.

The conversation explores how unclear value realization creates friction during onboarding, why sales-to-CS handoffs fail, and how AI is reshaping customer success through better context, automation, and voice-of-the-customer insights at scale. Key Takeaways & HighlightsCustomers buy software to make money, save money, or both — not just to solve surface-level problemsMisalignment on value realization is the #1 reason onboarding and CS struggle post-saleSales teams often assume customers understand value — they usually don'tThe earlier value is quantified and documented in the sales cycle, the stronger the post-sale executionAI can eliminate manual handoff friction by summarizing calls, emails, and deal context automaticallyTraditional CS metrics like surveys and NPS are statistically weak; voice of the customer at scale is the futureCustomer success leaders must act as the primary conduit for customer insight back into product and GTMPersonalization at scale requires cohort-based learning, not one-size-fits-all onboardingFewer deals with clearer value often outperform higher-volume pipelines long termThe best salespeople optimize for customer outcomes, not just closed deals Chapters & Timestamps00:00 – Welcome & Introduction Justin introduces Neal McCoy and his background across military, fintech, digital engagement, and ecommerce.02:00 – Neal's Career Path & BigCommerce Journey How Neal helped build CS and professional services as BigCommerce moved upmarket.04:30 – Where Customer Value Breaks Down Post-Sale Why customers trade one set of problems for another when value isn't clearly defined.06:45 – What CS Wishes Sales Would Hand Off (But Rarely Does) The missing context that makes or breaks onboarding and adoption.09:15 – AI's Role in Fixing the Sales-to-CS Handoff How AI can summarize deal context and remove the burden from sellers.11:45 – Voice of the Customer vs. Traditional CS Metrics Why surveys fail and how AI unlocks insight from unstructured customer data.14:30 – Personalization at Scale in Ecommerce Onboarding Using cohort-based success models across industries, regions, and merchant types.17:15 – The Biggest Misconception Sales Leaders Have About Post-Sale Why focusing on value may reduce conversions but increase long-term growth.20:00 – The Future of CS, PS, and AI at BigCommerce How AI is changing delivery models, expertise, and customer expectations.22:30 – Closing Thoughts & What's Next Neal's outlook on AI, value delivery, and helping merchants succeed long-term.

Guest Bio: Ivana Taylor has spent 35 years translating complex marketing into simple, executable strategies. She's the founder of DIYMarketers.com, where she helps entrepreneurs compete without enterprise budgets. She's a self-described AI power user who tests tools for six hours a day. And she's built follow-up systems for everyone from manufacturing companies to consultants.   Key Points: AI has fundamentally changed prospecting and outreach—making it faster, cheaper, and more targeted—but only when combined with clear strategy and direct sales fundamentals. The Old Way Is Broken Cold outreach traditionally means endless spreadsheets, bad or outdated contact data, spray-and-pray marketing (webinars, lead magnets, mass email blasts), and huge time investment with little guarantee of ROI. Buying lists or relying solely on inbound marketing is increasingly ineffective. What Still Works Direct sales and direct outreach remain the most reliable growth strategy. Success starts with absolute clarity on your Ideal Prospect; industry, role/title, geography and specific expertise or problem area. Without this clarity, AI just produces faster garbage. How AI Changes Prospect List Building AI dramatically reduces the manual labor of prospect research. Instead of hours of Googling and data entry AI can find names, companies, websites, social profiles, and sometimes contact info and AI can organize data into usable spreadsheets. AI works best in small-to-medium batches (10–50 at a time). Tools Mentioned for Prospecting & Enrichment General AI platforms (for defining criteria and searching): ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. Spreadsheet & research automation: GenSpark (noted for strong spreadsheet creation) Data enrichment & contact info (especially B2B): Apollo.io, Hunter.io, Clay.com Outreach & CRM tools: Nimble.com (emails sent directly through Gmail for 1:1 feel) Deal-finding for tools: AppSumo (one-time purchase tools) What AI Can (and Can't) Do AI can build targeted prospect lists faster. Find websites, LinkedIn profiles, phone numbers, and some emails. Segment prospects by expertise or role. Reduce human error in outreach sequences. Ai can't guarantee perfect data (bounces still happen). Replace human judgment. Eliminate the need to review and understand each prospect. Best Practices for AI-Powered Prospecting Always review and "get your hands dirty" with the data. Read prospect websites and make personal notes. Expect some bad data—scrubbing is still required. B2B data is far easier to find than consumer data. Free versions of tools are sufficient to test and validate workflows. Outreach Strategy Matters Use AI to support structured outreach sequences, not spam. Follow a 3–5 touch email sequence. Personalization improves responses. Segment based on expertise, role, or interest. Automation reduces mistakes while preserving a personal tone.    Guest Links: FREE GIFT Business by Referral Course: https://diymarketers.trainercentralsite.com/course/business-by-referral  Promo Code "WENDY25"   AI + Sales Tools from the Podcast ChatGPT – Use it to write outreach emails, brainstorm follow-ups, or summarize client notes quickly and naturally.

In this energizing conversation, Ann Fellman, Chief Marketing Officer at Bloomerang, provides a data-forward look at what donors will expect in 2026—and what that means for the business of fundraising. The conversation opens with a “hopeful reframe” rooted in fresh research: Bloomerang conducted a national survey of 1,000 U.S.-based donors in November 2025, and the findings point to a bright, measurable shift—not a collapse—in generosity.Ann's central message is numbers-backed and morale-boosting: donor behavior is changing, but people still want to give. As she puts it, “It's not a decline in generosity. It's a shift in how generosity shows up.” For nonprofit leaders, that shift demands smarter relationship strategy, not louder volume. Younger donors, especially Gen Z and Millennials, are “more relational,” seeking belonging and alignment. Ann expands the classic “time, talent, treasure” framework with two additional drivers—testimony and ties—because social proof and community can be the catalyst that converts interest into giving.Several statistics land like actionable business insights. Gen Z respondents were twice as likely as Baby Boomers to give after a positive interaction, and 21% said they were influenced by a celebrity or peer. Millennials showed strong values alignment, with 43% prioritizing shared values. Meanwhile, channel strategy needs a reset: donation sites and nonprofit websites remain leading channels, with 48% of Millennials gravitating toward website giving. Yet the surprise data point for 2026 planning is direct mail: Gen Z reported being twice as likely as older generations to give via direct mail—often because tactile outreach can lead to digital conversion through QR codes.Trust also emerges as a major retention lever. Ann shares that 70% of Americans have done recurring giving, signaling confidence in mission and stewardship, while Gen Z is the most likely generation to stop giving when trust erodes. The operational mandate is clear: personalized, timely, segmented communication that respects attention. In Ann's words, “Personalization is not a nice to have… it's going to be a must to have.”#TheNonprofitShow #NonprofitFundraising #DonorEngagementFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

Join me for a conversation with Kevin Zerber, co-founder of TreeRing Inc. 5000 company ranked No. 3200 in 2025 that is redefining the yearbook experience through technology and innovation. Kevin shares how adaptive leadership has guided TreeRing from its earliest days, with an emphasis on continuous improvement, curiosity, and customer-driven personalization. We discuss how the company successfully pivoted during the COVID-19 pandemic to maintain service continuity, as well as how fostering mentorship and an adaptive culture fuels both innovation and employee growth. Kevin also explains how integrating technology and data enhances efficiency and the customer experience while staying true to TreeRing's core values, offering practical insights for leaders looking to modernize traditional industries and build resilient organizations. Episode Highlights & Time Stamps 0:58 The Importance of Adaptive Leadership 2:29 Understanding TreeRing's Journey 8:50 Exploring Adaptive Leadership Principles 14:51 Mentoring for Employee Growth 18:08 Technology and Cultural Alignment 23:30 Adapting Through Challenges 23:52 Closing Insights on Adaptive Leadership Adaptive Leadership and Continuous Improvement In this episode, I speak with Kevin Zerber, co-founder of TreeRing, about how adaptive leadership has shaped the company's evolution over nearly 17 years. Kevin explains how a commitment to continuous improvement has been foundational to TreeRing's success, emphasizing that excellence is never a fixed destination. By embracing adaptability and ongoing innovation, TreeRing has built a resilient organization capable of learning, evolving, and thriving in a changing market. Disrupting the Traditional Yearbook Industry Kevin shares how TreeRing entered the yearbook market as a disruptor, challenging the one-size-fits-all model with a technology-driven, personalized approach. TreeRing's platform empowers families to customize yearbooks, enabling individual storytelling and deeper engagement. We explore how innovation and thoughtful design have allowed TreeRing to deliver high-quality yearbooks that better reflect today's students and communities. Building an Adaptive Culture with Technology and Mentorship We conclude by discussing the importance of curiosity, mentorship, and continuous learning within teams. Kevin explains how fostering an adaptive culture encourages creative problem-solving and supports employee growth. He also shares how TreeRing leverages technology, data, and AI to scale efficiently while staying true to its core values, sustainability commitments, and customer experience. Leading by Example, Trust, and Letting Go of the Outcome True leadership is built on trust, and trust is earned by doing what you say you will do. Austin shares how leading by example shapes culture, influences behavior, and reinforces standards throughout the organization. As leaders mature, they must also learn to let go of micromanagement and release attachment to perfect outcomes. There is no flawless business—only leaders who care deeply, persist through challenges, and remain committed to developing themselves and their teams. Key Takeaways Adaptive leadership enables organizations to respond effectively to disruption while maintaining long-term vision. Continuous improvement is an ongoing journey, not a one-time initiative. Personalization and technology can successfully modernize even the most traditional industries. Rapid pivots during crises can create new growth opportunities when guided by strong leadership principles. Cultivating curiosity, mentorship, and learning drives both innovation and employee development. Leveraging data and AI can improve efficiency and customer experience without compromising core values. About Kevin Zerber: Kevin Zerber is the co-founder and CEO of TreeRing, a technology company transforming the traditional yearbook industry through personalization, sustainability, and innovation. With decades of experience in software engineering and technology leadership, Kevin has guided TreeRing's growth by applying adaptive leadership principles, continuous improvement, and a strong focus on customer experience.

Everyone wants custom marketing until the numbers stop making sense. When preference beats performance, something always gives.The real question isn't creativity vs. control, it's predictability vs. ego.Welcome to Gym Marketing Made Simple, the podcast built to cut through the noise around gym growth. Each conversation breaks marketing, sales, and leadership into practical systems boutique gyms can apply without relying on luck, burnout, or outdated playbooks.Episode HighlightsPredictable results don't come from personal preference; they come from proof. This breakdown focuses on why tested systems outperform custom ideas, how data removes guesswork from marketing decisions, and where flexibility actually belongs. It also clarifies what strong partnerships look like when both sides care more about outcomes than opinions.Episode OutlineWhy generating a specific ROI matters more than creative preferences.What gym owners actually want from a long-term marketing partner.A real-world case study of a gym owner who outgrew short-term agencies.How high-volume testing creates faster, clearer marketing insights.The trade-offs between custom creative and proven marketing systems.Why predictable outcomes require data-backed offers, copy, and assets.How agencies balance flexibility without sacrificing performance.The role of accountability in data-driven marketing decisions.Episode Chapters00:00 Intro00:07 Strategic Marketing Partnership for Gym Owners02:41 The Role of Lasso as a Marketing Agency03:21 Challenges with Personalization and Customization07:29 The Importance of Data-Driven Decisions12:23 The Role of Lasso in Guiding ClientsAction TakenClearly communicate ROI expectations and the risks of testing unproven creative.Confirm whether clients are willing to accept lower performance for preference-based decisions.Implement offers, copy, and ad assets backed by large-scale testing.Match marketing strategies to each gym's business model.Allow creative testing only when ad budgets support experimentation.Keep proven campaigns running to protect performance while testing.ConclusionThe real takeaway here is simple: marketing works best when decisions are earned, not assumed. Creativity still matters, but only when it's supported by evidence. When gyms and agencies align on expectations, trust the data, and stay disciplined with what's proven, clarity replaces confusion, and results become easier to repeat.CTAIf this conversation resonated, follow Gym Marketing Made Simple and share the episode with a gym owner who's questioning whether their marketing is actually working.Supporting Information

Nir shares why luxury cannot be treated as a marketing adjective, what happens when guest expectations fall short, and why platforms and operators need clearer standards if the category wants to keep its credibility.They also get into what verification can look like in practice, why Nir's team says “no” far more than they say “yes,” and how their approach to service, personalization, and systems supports the level of trust luxury guests expect.Episode Chapters:00:00 – Welcome to Alex & Annie: The Real Women of Vacation Rentals01:11 – Nir's background and what The Maimon Group does in ultra-luxury02:18 – The core issue: “luxury” is being misused in vacation rentals04:26 – Nir's framework: luxury starts with the operator, then the asset06:45 – How Nir scores luxury (location, layout, privacy, finishes, noise, access, amenities)08:34 – The trust gap: what OTAs get wrong without verification15:48 – LPMS and the travel advisor workflow (how trust gets protected in bookings)24:02 – Big-event travel and why groups keep choosing homes27:45 – Personalization at scale: CRM, surveys, and concierge ownership31:10 – AI in hospitality: start with clean data, then layer automation with human validation38:08 – Looking ahead to 2026: “deployment,” standards, and repeatable excellenceConnect with Nir:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nir-maimon-59024595/ The Maimon Group: https://www.themaimongroup.com/  LPMS: https://thelpms.com/ ✨ Exclusive Offer to Alex & Annie Listeners:Streamline your short-term rental operations with Hostfully.Mention the Alex & Annie Podcast when you sign up and get free onboarding ($1000 value).

 In this episode of the Superlative Podcast, host Ariel Adams speaks with John Isaac, founder, CEO, and creative director of Artisans de Genève, about what it truly means to personalize a watch at the highest level. John traces his journey from early restoration work in Paris to building one of the world's most respected bespoke watch ateliers in Geneva, shaped by his grandfather's philosophy of dedicating one's life to serving individual clients. The conversation explores why Artisans de Genève is not a watch brand but a complementary workshop, how legal and cultural realities shape the customization space, and why modifying iconic watches like Rolex, Patek Philippe, and Audemars Piguet requires deep respect for the original DNA. Ariel and John unpack the psychology behind skeletonization, the courage required for first-time customization, why pricing can't exist without a design process, and how true luxury shifts from transactional ownership to emotional experience. The episode also examines why customization is rarely a collector's first step, how personalization mirrors the car world more than traditional watchmaking, and why knowing the client, not the product, is the atelier's most valuable asset.Check out Artisans de Genève:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/artisansdegeneve/ Website - https://www.artisansdegeneve.com/ SUPERLATIVE IS NOW ON YOUTUBE!

Send us a text(Why one-size-fits-all lessons don't work—and what to do instead)In this episode, I focus on what I consider the heart of acquisition-driven instruction: adjusting and personalizing what we do in class so all students can stay engaged, successful, and confident—without creating multiple lesson plans. If your classes include a wide range of proficiency levels, literacy skills, heritage learners, or students who “should know this already”… this conversation is for you.Building on insights from my conversations with Karen Lichtman and Jason Fritze, and grounded in research by Bill VanPatten and Stephen Krashen, this episode breaks down why acquisition is slow, piecemeal, and unpredictable—and how that reality should shape the way we plan input, reading, and output. I also share practical routines you can use mañana to make your classroom more inclusive, more human, and more effective. Sí, se puede.

Send us a textStuck on the treadmill of doing more but moving nowhere? We've been there. Today we unpack why high performers can check every box—workouts done, outreach sent, content posted—and still feel stalled, and how a shift toward presence, energy, and identity turns routine effort into real results.We start with a simple experiment: same workout, same time, radically different output when the intent and immersion change. That story becomes a blueprint for business and life. Sales calls land when you picture the person who needs your message. Content resonates when it's created for a single, vivid human instead of a generic audience. Coaching transforms when you bring the right energy to the moment, not just the right script. Presence isn't fluffy; it's measurable performance.From there, we tackle the FOMO trap of personal development. Consuming every book and podcast can feel productive, but progress accelerates when you choose resources that match your season and constraints. We talk about curating growth to your actual next step—one-on-one depth before complex funnels, focused reps before new platforms—and giving yourself permission to drop what doesn't fit. Personalization beats imitation.The throughline is identity. Hustle for hustle's sake often masks scattered attention. We share reflection prompts to map your inner upgrades: what changed inside before the outside shifted, what you no longer tolerate, and who you must be to deliver at a higher level. Then we connect it to our high impact coaching approach—pairing internal identity work with external systems so results compound across health, business, and relationships. We close with a preview of a tough truth: growth sometimes means not everyone will come with you, and how to navigate that with clarity and care.If this sparked a shift, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs it, and leave a quick review so more people can find these tools.

In this Omni Talk Retail episode, recorded live from NRF 2026 in the Vusion podcast studio, Mark Propes from Vusion and Art Miller from Qualcomm reveal how their partnership is enabling "detect and connect" capabilities that transform physical retail into personalized experiences, and why retailers still testing need to operationalize now before the gap becomes permanent. From edge computing that processes 4K video locally instead of streaming to the cloud, to closed-loop attribution tracking customer intent in real-time physical space, Mark and Art break down the multimodal signal taxonomy (RFID, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, vision) powering connected stores. They share insights on why scanning barcodes continuously creates data-poor environments, how agentic AI creates new doorways into physical stores, and the precision needed for sub-30 minute delivery promises. If you've wondered what detect and connect actually means beyond buzzwords, this conversation delivers the technical foundation and business applications.

Consumers are creating a growing “personalization paradox” when it comes to AI in 2026. They want personalized experiences more than ever, but they're equally anxious about how brands use their data. CapTech's proprietary consumer research reveals that while AI-driven personalization can strongly influence purchase decisions, trust and transparency remain the biggest barriers.CapTech Principal and CX Growth Lead, Bree Basham, and Research Lead, Lea Moon, discuss what to expect with AI in 2026, what we are seeing that drives loyalty, and how brands can thoughtfully balance value and privacy.Listen in to learn more:High‑value, in‑the‑moment personalization increases willingness to share data.AI comfort is rising but opt-out options and human fallback remain essential.Trust improves when brands use plain language and transparency in data use.Consumer adoption varies by mindset – not age or demographic.Read the full research here: https://www.captechconsulting.com/articles/2025-consumer-survey-solving-the-personalization-paradox

Episode web page: https://bit.ly/3Ys2J9d Episode description:  In this episode of Insights Unlocked, Phillip Jackson, CEO and co-founder of Future Commerce, joins the show to explore how commerce is fundamentally shaped by culture, not just technology. Phillip dives into how leading brands use AI in retail to enhance customer experiences quietly and authentically, why friction in the customer journey isn't always a bad thing, and how brands can stand out in a sea of sameness. Key themes and takeaways Commerce is culture, not just tech. Phillip explains that what we buy and how we buy it are deeply tied to identity and culture. The smartest brands are those who see commerce as part of daily life, not just a transaction. The invisible hand of AI in retail. AI can transform retail experiences, but its best applications are often invisible. Using examples like Taco Bell, Phillip discusses how AI can quietly make things easier and more delightful for customers—without being intrusive. Friction's hidden value. Not all friction is bad. While reducing unnecessary pain is important, Phillip argues that some friction helps customers make better decisions, reduces returns, and actually builds trust. Personalization: meaningful, not just flashy. True personalization goes beyond using someone's name. Phillip suggests it's about understanding intent and context, and that surface-level personalization often falls flat or feels invasive. Standing out from e-commerce sameness. E-commerce platforms have made shopping easier, but also more homogenous. Phillip shares research showing that when branding is stripped away, many sites are indistinguishable—and that differentiation is key to long-term loyalty. Clean data is your AI superpower. Brands that want to unlock the full power of AI need holistic, clean data. Phillip shares how brands like Kith leverage years of clean purchase data to launch ambitious customer programs. Invest in what matters. Rather than chasing every trend, Phillip encourages brands to focus on practical, high-value areas—like smarter search, better recommendations, and strong post-purchase support—that truly solve customer pain points.

In this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Michele Henry, founder and CEO of FACE FOUNDRIÉ, to explore how the facial industry is being quietly—but fundamentally—rewritten. What began as a personal frustration became a scalable solution: professional skincare that's consistent, accessible, and designed for real life, not just special occasions.After her third child, Michele found herself stuck between facials that were either overly luxurious, prohibitively expensive, or wildly inconsistent. She wanted results, education, and efficiency—without the intimidation. When that middle ground didn't exist, she built it. FACE FOUNDRIÉ's facial-bar model challenged long-standing spa norms by focusing exclusively on high-quality facial services delivered quickly, clearly, and consistently.A central theme of the conversation is accessibility. Michele rejects the idea that skincare should feel exclusive or confusing. Transparent pricing and monthly memberships make frequency possible—and frequency, she explains, is what actually drives results. Prestige may impress, but approachability scales.Behind the scenes, FACE FOUNDRIÉ's real innovation is operational. Standardized protocols ensure clients receive the same experience across locations, while personalization comes through targeted enhancements layered on top—not improvisation. Technology tracks treatments and progress, reinforcing consistency as a clinical standard.The episode also tackles a common misconception: that advanced at-home products can replace professional care. Michele makes the case that treatments and products work best together—services like dermaplaning, peels, and extractions create the conditions for skincare to truly perform.At its core, FACE FOUNDRIÉ is about emotional safety as much as skin health. Clients choose how they want to experience their facial—quiet or educational—in spaces designed to feel welcoming, not intimidating.Listen to the full episode to hear how Michele Henry is redefining professional skincare—making results-driven facials scalable, sustainable, and built for everyday life.Learn more about Face Foundarié on their website and social media!CHAPTERS:(0:02) - Introduction & Face Foundrie Overview(0:59) - Michele's Personal Journey & The Origin Story(2:16) - Reimagining the Facial Bar Model(3:23) - Early Trial, Error & Rapid Pivot(5:26) - Accessibility, Memberships & Breaking Prestige Barriers(7:16) - Results-Driven Protocols vs Luxury Spa Experiences(8:23) - Consistency, Personalization & Scalable Systems(10:26) - Franchising Face Foundrie & National Growth(13:35) - Technology, AI & The Future of Skin Care ExperiencesPlease fill out this survey to give us feedback on the show!Don't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!*This is a paid collaboration Hosted on Acast.
