Joe Pulizzi and Robert Rose kick off this week's episode by unpacking the TikTok "sale" and what actually happened behind the headlines. Was it really a sale? Why was a true divestiture nearly impossible? And what does the outcome tell us about platform risk, regulation, and the future of rented audiences. From there, Joe and Robert shift into what they believe will be the most important marketing, content, and AI stories of 2026. Not predictions, but the conversations marketers will be having once the year is underway. They dig into whether the long-awaited AI bubble ever actually bursts in marketing, how AI changes headcount and team structures, and what happens to the brand website when search and discovery are increasingly mediated by AI systems instead of humans. The episode wraps with rants and raves. Robert rants about marketers' obsession with declaring everything dead, while Joe rants about Denmark's decision to shut down its postal service and what that signals for the future of physical letters and communication. In this episode, you'll learn: What really happened with the TikTok deal and why it was never a traditional sale Why the AI "bubble" may never pop in marketing the way people expect How AI could lead to fewer marketing jobs, or more leverage for the right roles Why the role of the website is changing for brands and creators What Denmark ending postal service delivery says about the future of letters Rants and raves: Robert's rant: Marketers love predicting the death of everything Joe's rant: Denmark shuts down postal service delivery and the slow disappearance of letters Subscribe and Follow: Follow Joe Pulizzi and Robert Rose on LinkedIn for insights, hot takes, and weekly updates from the world of content and marketing.  ------- This week's sponsor: Did you know that most businesses only use 20% of their data?

Send us a textTheory is one thing, but how can boards effectively implement cyber governance and broader technology oversight in practice? In this podcast, Dr Sabine Dembkowski, is joined by Susanne Alfs. Susanne is a Non-Executive Director and Senior Technology Executive specialising in cyber governance and board-level technology oversight. Bringing both the NED lens and her executive leadership experience, Susanne helps boards translate complex cyber and technology risks into business trade-offs and investment decisions. Previously, she chaired the Group Board Technology Committee of a bank, strengthening oversight of cyber resilience and technology risk. Now, as the founder of Cyber4Directors, Susanne advises boards and senior leadership teams on strengthening cyber resilience, improving board reporting, and shaping effective technology and business dialogue. “I find in too many boards, there is an unspoken hesitation. Some directors worry they are not technology savvy enough to challenge the technology team, and that hesitation can quietly shift the dynamic in the boardroom.“Susanne realises boards are very human. Members hesitate to ask certain questions or push conversations because they worry about their technical knowledge, which compromises meaningful business impact and risk discussions. What helps? Susanne recommends that boards approach technology with the same rigor as finance or strategy discussions. Don't let insecurities block conversations or let the tech group overwhelm the board with acronyms. Keep the focus on business impacts and risk assessment to steer discussions and shape priorities.“The first point is to work as a team.”Technology oversight and governance must be a team effort. Just as finance audits aren't left to one person, boards shouldn't delegate cyber or technology responsibility to a single individual.In practice, this can mean sharing questions with technology teams ahead of meetings, explaining or banning acronyms, and encouraging IT teams to collaborate more closely with business leaders to support meaningful board discussions.Susanne emphasises that effective teamwork depends on clear communication and a shared language, rooted in cyber governance or project delivery terms. She also recommends using corporate secretaries as gatekeepers for board packs, ensuring technical material is simplified for effective discussion.“No board should ask for the cyber security team or the technology team to keep them safe, or the organisation safe, because no one is safe and you can't avoid incidents.”When Susanne hears a board asking for total safety, she recognises that this simple language communicates unrealistic expectations. She also recommends breaking down technology projects into shorter sprints. This sprint approach helps the board avoid preventable deviations and reduces the overwhelm of technology project management. The three top takeaways:1.    Work as a team. No board should have just one person focused in this area. 2.   Establish a common language, from cyber governance language or project execution frameworks, so that the board and executives can communicate clearly in a shared language.3.   Get external assurance if you are not comfortable with the practicesCome Join The Better Boards Community We'd love to get to know you!

Send us a textAI-native ERP systems are rapidly reshaping the enterprise software landscape by challenging long-standing assumptions about how ERPs are selected, implemented, and evolved over time. As AI becomes embedded directly into configuration, development, and daily workflows, practices once viewed as risky—such as extensive customization, rapid iteration, or even building ERP capabilities in-house—are becoming increasingly viable. Rising commercial software costs are further forcing executives to revisit the traditional buy-versus-build calculus, particularly as AI-first platforms promise faster deployments, more adaptable architectures, and experiences tailored to specific operating models. However, the category remains early, raising critical questions around governance, scalability, reliability, and long-term support. In this context, Everest ERP's AI-first approach offers a practical lens into how AI-native architectures can accelerate time-to-value while redefining what buyers, implementers, and business leaders should expect from ERP systems over the next decade.In this episode, Sam Gupta hosts Sandeep Chopra, co-CEO, Everest, to discuss how AI  impacts ERP strategy for companies.Video: https://www.elevatiq.com/events-and-webinars/your-erp-strategy-is-about-to-break-ai-is-rewriting-the-playbook/Questions for Panelists?

For more thoughts, clips, and updates, follow Avetis Antaplyan on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/avetisantaplyanIn this episode of The Tech Leader's Playbook, Avetis Antaplyan sits down with Drew Sechrist, an early Salesforce leader who helped scale the company from its earliest days into a multi-billion-dollar enterprise, and the founder of Connect The Dots. Drew brings listeners inside the chaos of Salesforce's zero-to-one phase, sharing firsthand stories from a time when cloud software was unproven, customer trust was fragile, and evangelism mattered more than polished playbooks.The conversation explores what it really takes to scale a company from nothing, why the jump from zero to one is far harder than later stages, and how leadership decisions around hiring, pace, and conviction shaped Salesforce's trajectory through the dot-com crash. Drew offers rare insights into working alongside Marc Benioff, including lessons on relentless execution speed, founder conviction, and organizational alignment through frameworks like V2MOM.A major theme of the episode is the enduring power of relationships. Drew explains how warm introductions, internal champions, and relationship capital closed deals worth millions and why, in an AI-saturated world, human networks are becoming the true long-term moat. The episode culminates in the origin story of Connect The Dots and why mapping real relationships is becoming a competitive advantage for modern teams.TakeawaysSalesforce succeeded early by evangelizing an unproven cloud model, not by selling features.Trust and customer success mattered before those functions even had names.Timing was critical; launching in 1999 gave Salesforce a window competitors missed.Distribution, not product, became the primary constraint once product-market fit was proven.Hiring leaders who had “seen the movie before” helped Salesforce scale deliberately.V2MOM created alignment and surfaced bottlenecks before they became existential problems.Marc Benioff's pace of execution was a competitive weapon in enterprise sales.Slow communication is a leading indicator of poor performance in startups.Warm introductions and internal champions unlocked deals that cold outreach never could.AI is amplifying noise, making trusted relationships more valuable, not less.Relationship capital is emerging as the real moat in an AI-heavy world.Chapters00:00 Introduction and why relationships matter more than ever02:00 Drew's background and joining Salesforce before it was Salesforce05:00 Evangelizing cloud software in a skeptical market07:30 Why zero-to-one is the hardest phase of growth11:00 Product-market fit, distribution, and the dot-com crash15:30 Leadership changes and Marc Benioff stepping in as CEO18:30 Scaling teams and hiring leaders who've done it before20:00 V2MOM and how Salesforce stayed aligned while growing26:00 Pace, conviction, and what Drew learned from Marc Benioff31:30 The power of warm introductions and internal champions36:00 Why AI is increasing noise and weakening cold outreach38:30 The origin story of Connect The Dots44:00 Why LinkedIn fails at representing real relationships50:00 Relationships as the long-term moat in an AI-driven futureDrew Sechrist's Social Media Link:https://www.linkedin.com/in/drewsechrist/Resources and Links: https://www.hireclout.comhttps://www.podcast.hireclout.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/hirefasthireright

“What do you do when you stop winning?”In this episode, Sean and Matt drop the highlight reel and talk candidly about what it actually feels like when a once high-flying brand stalls, hits flat revenue, or even starts shrinking.They unpack why every business has a “natural size,” why top-line obsession is the laziest definition of winning, and how to think more clearly about margin compression, momentum, and your own financial security as a founder.From redefining success beyond horsepower-style revenue numbers, to product, channel, and positioning pivots, to doing the brutal “Fog of War” cuts instead of slow bleeding out, this is a tactical, psychologically honest roadmap for operators trying to diagnose stalled growth and decide whether to push for the next level or intentionally right-size the business and finally take money off the table.Chapters00:00 – Cold open: what it feels like when winning stops02:20 – Why this episode matters: growth stalls, failure, and the messy middle04:06 – Defining “winning”: growth vs profit, lifestyle, and the natural size of a business07:18 – Survival first: financial security, changing goals, and evolving definitions of success12:51 – Diagnosing stalled growth: macro forces, misalignment, and internal blind spots17:42 – Tactical vs strategic stalls: product, category limits, and being in the wrong vehicle23:48 – Playing by the rules of the game: CAC, channels, and market realities33:13 – Diversification as defense: why building on rented land is dangerous39:00 – When winning tactics stop working: SEO hits, waves crashing, and preparing for stall-outs44:00 – Operating paranoid: assuming stalls, diversifying early, and the tradeoff of leaving money on the table50:00 – Changing the business: adding new product lines, multiple business units, and hedging inside your own brand56:00 – Rented land warning: Facebook media, platform dependency, and why omnichannel is non-negotiablePowered ByFulfil.iohttps://bit.ly/3pAp2vuThe Only Cloud ERP Designed to Efficiently Scale 8 and 9-Figure Brands.Northbeamhttps://www.northbeam.io/Richpanelhttps://www.richpanel.com/?utm_source=9O&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=ytdescSarashttps://bit.ly/9OP-YtdescRivohttps://www.rivo.io/operatorsSubscribeSubscribe to The Marketing Operators Podcast:https://www.youtube.com/@MarketingOperatorsSubscribe to The Finance Operators:https://www.youtube.com/@FinanceOperatorsFOPS — Sign up to the 9 Operators newsletter:https://9operators.com/

Ginny Yurich sits down again with Mike McLeod, author of The Executive Function Playbook, and it's one of those conversations that puts language to what parents are living every day: the exhaustion of being your child's “prefrontal cortex,” the nonstop prompting, the homework vortex, and the fear that this isn't getting better. Mike is honest about ADHD being serious and also full of hope about what actually helps kids build independence. You'll learn why ADHD is better understood as an executive function developmental delay, why “not everything is a screen problem” but the internet-connected screens are in a league of their own, and why play and boredom aren't frivolous extras.

Bill Faeth has built and exited 37 companies, scaled an insurance operation to $26 million in premiums within 24 months, and now runs a real estate portfolio where a single property spins off three separate income streams. In this episode, he unpacks the subtle levers behind high-margin short-term rentals, why “doing what others won't” is his unfair advantage, and how two small customer experience tweaks quietly added six figures in annual revenue.From running a limousine company during the dot-com boom to engineering a luxury pickleball resort in Montana, Bill's playbook is a masterclass in resourcefulness. He shares how meeting Tiger Woods at age 12 shaped his lifelong performance mindset—and why he believes every operator needs to stop chasing 10X and focus on two extra steps instead.You'll hear how he pulls $3,700/month from Turo per vehicle, why he never sells to investors, and the moment he realized that the “right” tax strategy unlocked more cash than the right deal. He also explains how he built an ultra-lean, automated hospitality business—one that scales without complexity, and runs without his daily involvement.If you need help finding the perfect location or your ready to invest in commercial real estate, email us at admin@leadersre.com Sign up for a FREE vulnerability analysis and lease renewal services View our library on apple podcasts or REUniversity.org.

Key Takeaways: The Fulfillment Playbook: ShipStation's Strategy for Building an Unbreakable Shipping Network In "The Fulfillment Playbook: ShipStation's Strategy for Building an Unbreakable Shipping Network", Joe Lynch and Josh Steinitz, Chief Strategy Officer at Auctane, discuss how to turn complex global logistics into a seamless competitive advantage. Diversification is the Foundation of "Unbreakable" Logistics: Drawing from Josh's experience at Amazon Worldwide Operations (where he helped launch Amazon Logistics and expand Amazon Air), a primary takeaway is that a resilient network cannot rely on a single carrier. An unbreakable strategy requires a multi-carrier approach—integrating giants like UPS and FedEx with regional players and postal services to mitigate risks like strikes, capacity crunches, or price hikes. Move from "Reactive Shipping" to "Proactive Strategy": As Chief Strategy Officer, Josh emphasizes that shipping should not be an afterthought at the end of a sale. The "Playbook" involves using logistics as a competitive lever. By leveraging Auctane's suite of tools (ShipStation, Metapack, etc.), businesses can transform fulfillment from a cost center into a strategic asset that drives customer retention. Automation is the Antidote to Operational Complexity: ShipStation's core value proposition is streamlining the "day-to-day challenges of importing orders." Automation is key - automatically selecting the best carrier, service, and packaging based on pre-defined criteria. This eliminates human error and allows a small team to handle the volume of a much larger enterprise. The Power of "Unified Commerce" and Deep Integration: With over 400 integrations, ShipStation's strategy highlights that an unbreakable network must be "plug-and-play." Your fulfillment system should seamlessly sync with marketplaces (Amazon, eBay), platforms (Shopify, BigCommerce), and inventory management. Leveraging "The Amazon Effect" for Small and Mid-Sized Brands: Josh's background at Amazon gives him unique insight into what consumers now expect: speed, transparency, and low costs. A major takeaway is how ShipStation democratizes these "Amazon-level" capabilities for smaller merchants, providing them with discounted rates and branded tracking experiences that allow them to compete with the world's largest retailers. Multi-Channel Order Centralization: ShipStation acts as a "single pane of glass" by integrating with over 100 different e-commerce marketplaces (like Shopify, Amazon, and eBay). For a shipper, this eliminates the need to jump between platforms; it centralizes every order into one dashboard, significantly reducing manual data entry and the risk of fulfillment errors. Automated Rate Shopping and Discounted Shipping: The platform provides instant access to deeply discounted rates with major carriers like UPS, USPS, and FedEx. Shippers can use automation rules to "rate shop" in real-time - automatically selecting the most cost-effective or fastest carrier based on the package's weight, destination, or service level - which directly protects profit margins and scales shipping operations without adding headcount.

Send us a textIn this episode, Keller Maloney joins host Jason Mudd to discuss why PR drives AI recommendations and how earned media and brand trust shape how AI models talk about brands.Tune in to learn more!Meet Our Guest:Our episode guest is Keller Maloney, co-founder of Unusual, a platform that helps brands understand and influence how AI models perceive them. Keller has a background in AI interpretability research and works with marketers and PR teams navigating AI as a new audience.Five things you'll learn from this episode:AI as a new audience: Why PR has to persuade machines, not just humansWhy the AI era goes beyond traditional SEOHow AI determines and delivers recommendationsThe two key hurdles brands must overcome for AI visibilityPR's renaissance: Thriving in an AI-driven worldQuotables“If you give AI models clear claims, real proof, consistent messaging, they reward your brand like a human reviewer would. You can just do what PR folks have always been excellent at doing, which is building a brand.” — Keller Maloney“The first thing that you need to make sure of when marketing to a customer is awareness. If they don't know you exist, then there's no hope in having them buy your product. The second is specificity, to actually get recommended. When ChatGPT is having a conversation with a specific user about their specific problem, in order for that model to recommend you, they need to know that your product or your solution is the best solution for their user's very specific problem.” — Keller Maloney“The real key is earned media. It's like convincing a human. Earned media and a corroboration across trusted sources goes a really long way in helping these models find out about your brand and then determine that you are legitimate enough to consider as a recommendation for their customer.” — Keller Maloney“Getting more AI recommendations looks a lot more like PR than anything else.” — Keller Maloney“The things that help an AI model refer to your brand are the same things that help humans refer your brand, which is strong brand presence, earned media trust, and presence across sources.” — Keller Maloney“The best PR work is helping people, educating people. Steve Jobs is famous for saying, ‘Advertising helps with sales, but good PR educates.'” — Jason MuddIf you enjoyed this episode, please take a moment to share it with a colleague or friend.

Embracing the End Times: Overcoming Fear and Realizing Our True AuthorityIn this episode of Discovering Truth with Dan Duval, Dan examines the convergence of end-times prophecy, the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence, and global geopolitical shifts toward a centralized world order. He addresses the growing fear among many Christians regarding the end times and challenges escapist doctrines such as pre-tribulation rapture, offering a deeper biblical framework for understanding the Church's role in this season.Drawing from extensive scriptural study and personal revelation, Dan presents a compelling case for the unmatched authority entrusted to the Church. He emphasizes the function of the ecclesia- God's governing body on earth and underscores the necessity of understanding our identity in Christ to overcome fear and deception. Dan explains that when the Church awakens to its true authority, it possesses the power to confront and dismantle the schemes of the kingdom of darkness. He explores spiritual principles related to divine courts, asserting that believers can leverage injustices suffered by themselves and their ancestors to obtain judgments against demonic strongholds. According to Dan, this awakening will catalyze the rapid transformation of nations and disrupt the foundations of the emerging new world order, advancing God's purposes on the earth.

SHOW NOTES:In this episode, Matt Zaun sits down with Ryan Hogan, Founder & CEO of Talent Harbor, to unpack what actually works in recruiting top sales talent today. They dig into why “keep it simple” beats complex hiring funnels, how to design a value ladder that moves buyers forward, and where AI helps (and hurts) in the hiring process. Ryan also shares the gritty lessons that shaped him (from bankruptcies to billion-dollar beliefs) and the leadership habits he brought home from the Navy.In this episode, they cover:✅ Value ladder & micro-commitments — the psychology of getting small “yeses,” including Ryan's Hunt A Killer application flow that primed buyers before any purchase.✅ Authentic scarcity — how to use real capacity limits (e.g., only onboarding 3–4 clients/week) to increase conversion without breaking trust.✅ AI in recruiting (the truth) — great for assessments and repurposing insights; poor at relationship-building with A-players who won't talk to a bot first.✅ Hiring veterans — look for resilience + self-awareness; ask how they learned, trained, failed, and translated that into civilian impact....and much more!BIOS:Ryan Hogan is the Founder & CEO of Talent Harbor, specializing in flat-rate, expert sales recruiting. A U.S. Navy veteran (now Reserve), Ryan previously co-founded Hunt A Killer, the immersive mystery brand, and has led multiple ventures spanning consumer products and B2B services. He's obsessed with systems and building teams that produce results.Matt Zaun is a strategic storytelling expert, keynote speaker, and author of The StoryBank.

What does it take to build something incredible from nothing—and then know when it's time to step back? In this episode, Casey sits down with Natalie Batlle, founder of Juno House Club, the women's membership club in Barcelona that has become a sanctuary for ambitious, soulful, and creative women from around the world. Natalie shares her journey from being a first-time founder building something fast without a playbook to transitioning out of the CEO role into a more strategic position as Chairwoman, and how she's learning to embrace this season of soul-searching and reflection. This is a conversation about the evolution of leadership, the gift of creating space for others even when you can't always enjoy it in the same way yourself, and what it means to honour both the vision and the journey. Natalie opens up about the founder's paradox—operating something so intensely that you can't fully experience it—and the bittersweet beauty of watching your creation take on a life of its own. They explore why not every founder is meant to be the operator, the discomfort of stepping into reflection when you're built to do, and the importance of celebrating what already exists before chasing what's next. In This Episode, You'll Discover: Why building something doesn't mean you're meant to operate it—and how to recognize the difference The reality of being a first-time founder learning to be CEO in real-time without a playbook What it means to transition from CEO to Chairwoman and step back from daily operations The founder's paradox: creating something so magical you can't fully experience it yourself Why soul-searching seasons can feel more uncomfortable than the intensity of building How intentional design and thoughtfulness attract the exact community you envision The importance of pausing to celebrate what you've built before visioning what's next What it means to trust that your creation is strong enough to evolve beyond you Resources & Next Steps: Connect with Natalie and learn more about Juno House Club Follow Natalie on Substack (yes, she started one!!).

Send us a textSatan doesn't have a deep playbook – sadly, he doesn't need one. Just as he did with Adam and Eve, he only needs to get people to question the sovereign authority of God, believe that God is holding something back from them, and not believe that God means what He says in Scripture. In this episode, we look at how the strategy and goals of the pagan gods of the Old Testament are no different than they are today. There's nothing new under the sun. They're the same demon forces as they've always been, they've just modernized their labels and re-branded. Thanks for tuning in!

Robert breaks down the difference between the "Stars" who grow and the "Hamsters" stuck on the revenue wheel.

Experience matters—especially in a business where cycles, ego, and bad underwriting quietly destroy capital.Rich Somers sits down with Oliver Shah, a hotel broker with more than 30 years in the hospitality industry, to break down what actually works in boutique hotels—and why most people underestimate the complexity behind them. Drawing from decades of transactions, Oliver shares how the best operators think differently about location, asset selection, operations, and long-term value creation.The conversation dives into what separates a strong boutique hotel from a lifestyle project, how to underwrite hotels realistically, and why operational discipline matters more than aesthetic upgrades. Oliver explains where investors get misled, how trends come and go, and why experience across multiple cycles changes the way you evaluate risk and opportunity.Rich and Oliver also explore the realities of hotel brokerage, the mistakes first-time buyers consistently make, and why patience, structure, and operator alignment matter more than chasing “sexy” deals. This episode pulls back the curtain on the unglamorous decisions that ultimately determine whether a boutique hotel thrives or struggles.This is a practical, experience-backed conversation for investors and operators who want to understand hospitality beyond the highlight reel—and build something that actually works over the long term.Join our investor waitlist and stay in the know about our next investor opportunity with Somers Capital: www.somerscapital.com/invest.

It's another Best of 2025 episode on the Majority Report. On Today's program: Original air date: February 11, 2025 Gil Duran, journalist based in California, proprietor of the website The Nerd Reich, co-writer of the FrameLab newsletter, joins to discuss his recent piece in The Nerd Reich entitled "'Reboot' Revealed: Elon Musk's CEO-Dictator Playbook." https://x.com/gilduran76 https://www.thenerdreich.com/ https://www.theframelab.org/ https://www.thenerdreich.com/reboot-e... Gil Duran then joins, diving right into the concept of the Network State – an idea advanced by Big Tech's thought leader Curtis Yarvin and his billionaire buddies (Thiel, Andreessen, Musk, etc) that Tech CEOs should take advantage of the collapse of Nation States and democracy in favor of establishing corporate, CEO-run dictatorship, either by gutting and replacing existing governments or purchasing sovereign territories – as Duran unpacks his first introduction to this ideology with Silicon Valley's attempt to hijack San Francisco's political institutions, before parsing a little deeper through the recent, much more public discussions of this theory advanced by the likes of Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen, and Curtis Yarvin. After expanding on how we are already seeing the blueprint for a Network State in action, with Trump serving as a figurehead to a Tech CEO's gutting of our administrative and democratic institutions in favor of sycophants and centralized power, Duran looks to how this came to be the active ideology of the GOP so quickly, unpacking how the collapse of the Biden campaign and naming of JD Vance as Trump's VP opened up an opportunity for the Big Tech to step in, starting with Elon's massive public $300m investment and culminating in Yarvin's Reboot conference in San Francisco last September, exploring the obvious parallels between Big Tech's dictator obsession and the GOP's white nationalism and parsing through their unified scapegoating of "woke" and "DEI" in the leadup to the election to the point of completely dominating both mainstream and social media (bolstered by the financial leverage and ownership Big Tech has over those institutions). Next, Gil, Sam, and Emma unpack the major challenges facing the Trump-Musk regime, as Trump is on his last legs with no other favorable alternative in sight while any failure to maintain control over both political and media institutions potentially meaning a complete upending of their "progress," not to mention the obvious lack of preparedness (or ability) for this institution to deal with any real public or institutional opposition – the latter of which seems to be particularly hopeless among Democratic leadership – wrapping up by emphasizing the genuine insecurity this regime faces in the face of public scrutiny and touching on the potential danger of Big Tech's goal of replacing the US Dollar with Bitcoin.
