Robin Zander hosted a Snafu webinar for the Sidebar community on non-sales selling—think self-promotion for career transitions, freelancers, entrepreneurs, and product people. The goal: learn to "sell yourself" without the ick factor.   Participants shared fears: follow-ups feel intimidating, sales feels slimy, and success seems like a numbers game. Robin reframed it: selling is really about enrollment—being a chief evangelist for your work, not begging for attention.   Drawing on stories from his childhood pumpkin patch, his time as a personal trainer (where desperation lost him clients), and opening Robin's Cafe in San Francisco (raising $40k, serving multiple stakeholders, training staff with Danny Meyer's principles), he showed the difference between selling from need vs. service. Long-term success comes from genuine connection, curiosity, optimism, and passion.   Attendees explored their "authentic attitude" and reflected on times self-promotion felt good versus slimy. Exercises included mapping all the people who benefit from your work—employees, customers, managers, mentees, community—and practicing generosity in selling (a "Miracle on 34th Street" mindset: help customers even if it means sending them elsewhere).   In Q&A, Robin tackled: Asking for promotions as modeling for others, especially women and minorities Persistence in follow-ups (yes, emailing Mark Benioff 53 times counts) Relationship-based enterprise selling Avoiding fear-based AI marketing by knowing who you serve and what problem you solve Recommended reading: Setting the Table (Danny Meyer), Unreasonable Hospitality (Will Guidara), The New Strategic Selling.   Robin also shared upcoming Snafu conference details (March 5, Oakland Museum of California) and reminded everyone: Snafu = situation normal; all fucked up. 00:00 Start 01:06 Audience Fears About Selling Robin Zander welcomes 93 participants to the webinar Notes the session is interactive with exercises planned Encourages participants to drop questions in chat or interrupt him Last 15–20 minutes reserved for questions Robin introduces himself briefly Focuses on storytelling as a tool for self-promotion Shares experience as a community builder Runs a conference called Responsive since 2016 (not Snafu) Tools, structures, and company cultures for resilient organizations Two-day event each September on the future of work Focus on building resilience in organizations Observations on rapid change Technology and work-life changes happening at a fast pace Questions about resilience in individuals Traits needed in careers, personal relationships, professional relationships Ability to stay resilient through change Robin frames his expertise Emphasizes his strength in asking questions and fostering honest conversations Labels himself a reluctant salesperson Not the world's leading expert on self-promotion or selling Key lessons from research and interviews Two buckets matter in business and life: Example: Sidebar community forming coalitions for learning and action Operational excellence: being competent and at least as good as others Promotion/enrollment/sales: standing up, saying what you want, building coalitions Started interviewing people about influence and persuasion Started a weekly newsletter called Snafu Written by hand, not AI Shares lessons from his life and others about self-promotion and resilience Focus on courage to take action: raising hand, offering something valuable Core characteristics of self-promotion and selling yourself Connecting with others: art of connection Courage to ask: inspired by Amanda Palmer's TED Talk and book The Art of Asking Opposes traditional "always be closing" sales mentality Advocates for simply asking for what you want Current work mostly involves storytelling for large companies Clients include Supersonic, Airbnb, Zappos, and others 12:25 Service as the Core Principle Robin introduces the concept of storytelling for self-promotion Stories used to: Get promotions Build coalitions Propel career or organizational growth Emphasizes turning personal, career, or company stories into "commercials" Focus of today's talk: self-promotion with impact Core principle: service Showing up from a place of helping others Through helping others, also helping oneself Distinguishes between sleazy salespeople and effective self-promoters Childhood anecdote: Robin's pumpkin patch Tended plants all summer, learned responsibility and care Harvested pumpkins and sold them using a small red tin box labeled "money" Ran "Robin's Pumpkin Patch" for five to seven years At age five, father had him plant pumpkin seeds Engaged neighborhood kids for fun, collaborative promotion Explained product (pumpkins) enthusiastically to potential buyers Used scarecrow costumes and creative gestures to attract attention Lessons learned from pumpkin patch: Authentic enthusiasm creates value Helping people do what they were already inclined to do Early experience of earning and serving simultaneously Self-promotion is most effective when it's service-driven, not manipulative Applying childhood lesson to career and business Asking for a raise Persuading companies to choose one service over another Promoting oneself or others (e.g., Evan, web developer) Key principle: approach self-promotion from delight and service, not need or fear Authentic enthusiasm as foundation for: Interactive exercise for participants Not influenced by sleep deprivation or stress Could be inspired by childhood or adult experiences Opposite of fear; personal and unique for each participant Question posed: what is your authentic attitude when self-promoting? Examples shared from participants: Curiosity Passion Inspiration Service to others Observation Possibility Insight Value Helping others Creativity Belief in serendipity Optimism Key takeaway from exercise and story Promoting from delight, enthusiasm, and service Promoting from need or fear Two versions of self-promotion: Effective self-promotion aligns with authenticity and enthusiasm, creating value for others while advancing oneself 18:36 Gym Job and Needy Selling Robin shares the next story and sets up the next exercise Gym culture is sales-heavy Initial motivation: love of fitness, desire to help people Quickly realizes environment incentivizes personal trainers to sell aggressively Timeframe: ~20 years later, at age 20, moved to San Francisco First post-college job: personal trainer in gyms Early experience at gyms Key lesson from early failure Selling from need feels gross Promoting oneself from fear or desperation leads to poor results Recognizes similarity to unwanted sales calls received personally First authentic success in self-promotion Worked at Petro and World's Gym in San Francisco, Pilates instructor Owner confronted Robin after two weeks: no clients, potential clients being lost to others Threatened termination by Friday if no clients acquired Robin froze under pressure, approached clients but with needy, desperate energy Outcome: fired by Friday, left gym Encounters man in pain on Valencia Street, offers help as personal trainer Approach comes from genuine care, desire to serve Leads to three-year working relationship, consistent sessions, good income Next client: world-famous photographer Michael Light at UCSF swimming pool Client comes from natural connection, not pushy salesmanship Dichotomy observed: Pushy, need-based self-promotion → freeze, poor results Service-oriented self-promotion → natural connections, sustained relationships Exercise for participants Prompt: identify two moments: One time self-promoting felt slimy → what were you doing? One time self-promoting felt good → what were you doing differently? Two-minute reflection / chat participation Participant reflections/examples Slimy examples: Interviewing for a job during layoffs, giving desperate energy Selling P&L at a hyperscaler Selling computers and printers in UK post-college Sales emails getting ghosted Feeling inauthentic or performative, taking advantage of someone Good examples: Offering services out of care and love rather than ROI Showing impact of work to junior child Knowing services add real value and solve a challenge Being clear on what the other person needs Key takeaway Self-promotion feels different depending on intent and knowledge Slimy → desperate, inauthentic, unclear value to recipient Authentic → service-driven, clear value, connection-focused Effective self-promotion combines knowing your value and serving others, not just pushing for personal gain 25:35 Miracle on 34th Street Lesson Feeling good in self-promotion comes from genuinely helping, solving problems, and sharing information Santa Claus hired at Macy's to hold kids and give candy canes, but real goal: persuade parents to buy from Macy's Santa instead sends parents to competitor to truly serve them Macy's manager initially furious Outcome: customers feel genuinely served, return praising Macy's, become loyal fans Robin references Miracle on 34th Street (original version) Key insight: providing real value, even if it benefits someone else, eventually returns value to you "Put enough bread across the water, eventually good things come back" Participant reflections Slimy: knowing audience expects judgment, catering to them for approval Good: giving the gift of knowledge, providing service freely Takeaway: authentic self-promotion is rooted in service, generosity, and sharing expertise, not manipulating for immediate gain 27:45 Starting Robin's Cafe Through Service Robin shares a major professional turning point: opening Robin's Cafe in 2016 No restaurant experience beyond college busing tables Opened in three weeks, eventually grew to 15 employees by 2018 Worked in multiple industries: Pumpkin patch, personal trainer, circus performer Opened a café/restaurant in Mission District, San Francisco Courage and conviction came from clear focus on service to others Employees: create a great workplace, go-giver culture Investors: $40k raised from friends/family, provided value and potential return Landlords (ODC, nonprofit dance center): wanted success of business to support community Customers: diverse—tech workers, kids in dance classes, local community Robin himself: financial sustainability, learning, personal growth Key audiences served by Robin's Cafe Approach to challenges Used Danny Meyer's Setting the Table as a service-focused framework for employees Philosophy: "giving in order to get paid" Examples: spouse, kids, dog, manager, peers, mentees, clients, community, customers, extended family, mentors Served multiple stakeholders during crises: break-ins, flooding, city permitting, neighborhood issues Exercise: identify all the people who benefit from your work or success Key idea: the more stakeholders served, the easier self-promotion becomes, because it comes from service, not need or pressure Show up thinking: does this serve the person I'm talking to? Principle: selling yourself from a place of service Consider multiple stakeholders simultaneously Audience question: elaborate on applying this service mindset specifically to asking for a promotion Tying service to self-promotion in career advancement Result: asking for a raise, applying for jobs, pitching clients—all easier and more authentic 38:11 Promotion As Service Asking for a promotion from a place of service Example: doing the role already, deserving recognition, asking for what you believe you've earned. Personal perspective: advocating for yourself is a form of service to yourself Recognize other stakeholders in the process: Modeling courage and advocacy for the next generation Authority enables ideas to be taken more seriously Stories gained from new responsibilities enhance value to clients or teams People you mentor, especially women or underrepresented groups The organization: your promotion can make it stronger Your family or children: showing them what it looks like to advocate Concrete examples Outcome: trajectory of career positively influenced, demonstrated courage, modeled behavior Asking first time for a manager role Later asking for VP title as a director Courage and small steps Courage = acting despite fear, not absence of fear Practice by taking incremental steps toward what scares you Avoid masking or hesitation; direct action builds confidence and results Persistence and follow-up Busy people require patience and multiple nudges Example: Mark Stubbings emailing Mark Benioff 53 times before a yes Persistence = respectful, consistent follow-ups Role modeling for women and minorities Demonstrates that asking is a normal, expected, and service-oriented act Many don't ask for promotions or raises due to upbringing or cultural norms Modeling advocacy teaches the next generation, including children, to speak up Service mindset in practice Approach self-promotion by asking: is this good for the other person? Keep intention aligned with service, not desperation Books for guidance: Setting the Table – Danny Meyer: service-driven sales and employee culture Unreasonable Hospitality – Will Guidara: lessons from the restaurant world on giving value and delight Key takeaways for promotion and asking Serve yourself, your mentees, your organization, and your broader audience Take small, courageous steps to ask for what you deserve Follow up respectfully and consistently; don't assume silence = no Self-promotion becomes easier and authentic when rooted in service, not fear or need Snafu Newsletter Weekly newsletter written by Robin Covers influence, persuasion, and modern workplace dynamics A resource for ongoing learning and practical insights 56:55 Where to Find Robin Robin's newsletter covers influence, persuasion, and modern work.

Stepping into the stunning Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino in Santa Marta, Colombia, the final resting place of the man who reshaped an entire continent, we look at who Simón Bolívar really was. Known as "The Liberator," he didn't just lead the charge for independence across six nations; he ignited a revolutionary spark fueled by Enlightenment ideals and a bold vision for a unified "Gran Colombia." Beyond the battlefield, we're unpacking the high-stakes tug-of-war between the charismatic "strongman" government and the rule of law, a rivalry that nearly led to assassination and still vibrates through South American politics today. Join me as we walk through the halls where history was made and discover how these centuries-old debates are just as relevant in 2026 as they were in the 1830s.Watch the video version here: https://youtu.be/ckudSDCZbS4Read more at Finance Colombia: https://www.financecolombia.com/Subscribe to Finance Colombia for free: https://www.fcsubscribe.com/More about Loren Moss: https://lorenmoss.com/writeContact us: https://unidodigital.media/contact-unido-digital-llc/Read more at Finance Colombia: https://www.financecolombia.com/ Subscribe to Finance Colombia for free: https://www.fcsubscribe.com/ Read more at Cognitive Business News: https://cognitivebusiness.news/ The place for bilingual talent! https://empleobilingue.com/ More about Loren Moss: https://lorenmoss.com/write Contact us: https://unidodigital.media/contact-unido-digital-llc/

In Episode 80 of Geopolitics with Ghost, Ghost breaks down a significant press conference following a high level meeting between Colombian President Gustavo Petro and President Trump, focusing on what it reveals about the global drug trade and shifting geopolitical alignments. Drawing directly from Petro's remarks, the episode explores how drug trafficking power no longer sits with armed groups in the jungle, but with international financial networks operating out of major global cities. Ghost walks through the details of recent multinational cocaine seizures, including narco submarines intercepted near Colombia and the Azores, and explains why these operations signal a move toward intelligence driven, top down targeting of the true “bosses of bosses.” The discussion also examines Petro's rejection of sanctions, his criticism of traditional drug war tactics, and his emphasis on economic reform, crop substitution, and international cooperation. Throughout the episode, Ghost connects these developments to broader questions of sovereignty, diplomacy, and the future of coordinated global enforcement efforts, highlighting why these events may represent a meaningful shift in how transnational crime is confronted.

In this episode of Geopolitics with Ghost, Ghost focuses on two interconnected developments with major geopolitical implications. The discussion centers on President Trump's closed-door meeting with Colombian President Gustavo Petro and why the lack of U.S. media coverage around that meeting matters. Ghost walks through what was reported internationally, including Petro's comments on drug trafficking, sanctions, and cooperation with the United States, as well as the surprising tone shift following months of public tension between the two leaders. The episode then turns to the evolving Credit Suisse story and its broader connection to the global banking system. Ghost explores how financial institutions, cartel money laundering, sanctions, and political pressure intersect, and why these issues may explain the silence from legacy media. Throughout the episode, Ghost ties these developments to larger shifts in power, transparency, and accountability within the international financial and political landscape.

El presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, y su homólogo colombiano, Gustavo Petro, sostuvieron una reunión clave en la Casa Blanca para recomponer una relación bilateral marcada por tensiones y desacuerdos sobre la lucha contra el narcotráfico, en un contexto de récord histórico en la producción de cocaína y reconfiguración de la seguridad regional en América Latina.

Kokain, Sanktionen und Venezuela: Im Weißen Haus trafen sich der US-amerikanische Präsident Trump und der kolumbianische Präsident Gustavo Petro. Kolumbien ist einer der Hauptproduzenten von Kokain.

Der Tag in 2 Minuten – vom 4.2.

Los presidentes de Estados Unidos y Colombia se reunieron la víspera por primera vez desde que Trump llegó a la Casa Blanca, tras un año de reproches mutuos y enfrentamientos. La cita se produjo un mes después de la detención del exmandatario venezolano Nicolás Maduro y con temas prioritarios como el petróleo y la lucha contra el narcotráfico. Dada la historia de desencuentros y reproches mutuos, el encuentro entre Trump y Petro puede abrir la puerta para reconfigurar la relación bilateral. Isaac Morales, analista y coordinador de la Fundación Paz y Reconciliación, cree que esto es fruto del trabajo del equipo colombiano, que trata de mostrar los avances del país en la lucha contra el narcotráfico. "Esta reunión de Petro con el presidente Trump es importante porque es el culmen de una agenda que han tenido los equipos del Gobierno de Colombia. Al gobierno de Estados Unidos le interesa muchísimo el avance en la lucha contra las drogas, por el hecho de que Colombia para ellos sigue siendo el segundo mayor productor de cocaína en el mundo; de hecho, lo es. También ha habido unos esfuerzos institucionales bastante grandes para poder orientar la lucha contra las drogas y los cultivos ilícitos. Ir a Washington a vender una agenda de lucha contra las drogas implica también mostrar los avances en el programa de erradicación de cultivos, así como las incautaciones que ha habido recientemente", dice Morales. Segundo mayor productor de cocaína del mundo, Colombia necesita del apoyo de Washington para mantener la presión militar en las zonas de cultivo de coca. La lucha contra el tráfico de drogas es una de las prioridades de Trump. El petróleo es otro de los temas clave en las relaciones bilaterales que se construyan a partir de ahora. ¿Qué puede ofrecer Colombia a Estados Unidos?  "También creo que es importante lo que Colombia le puede ofrecer a Estados Unidos, sobre todo en esta dinámica de acceso a materias primas y recursos naturales, lo cual interesa al Gobierno del presidente Trump. Colombia no puede llegar al nivel de lo que puede ofrecer Venezuela en cuanto a reservas de petróleo, pues Venezuela tiene las reservas más grandes de petróleo del mundo. Colombia tiene reservas, pero no al mismo nivel. Esto va muy asociado a esos dos temas: la agenda contra las drogas y la posibilidad de obtener materias primas y recursos naturales". La cita Trump-Petro tuvo lugar cuando a Gustavo Petro le quedan solo un par de meses en el poder. ¿Qué impacto puede tener esta reunión antes de esas elecciones en las que la izquierda es favorita? "Al presidente Petro le quedan seis meses de gobierno. Si es una persona inteligente y capaz de pensar en este país como representante de este país, también podría encontrar la forma en la que podría dejar abierta la puerta para una eventual relación del gobierno Trump con el nuevo gobierno que salga elegido. En cuanto a una posible intervención en las elecciones en Colombia, no creo que sea un tema que se toque directamente diciendo que el Gobierno colombiano preferiría que no hubiera intervención. No necesariamente una intervención directa, pero sí una influencia. El tema electoral seguramente también es una preocupación de la agenda colombiana", concluye Morales. 

After trading insults on social media, President Trump and Colombia's President Petro meet for the first time today, at the White House in Washington.
