Are public relations and marketing two distinct disciplines—or is PR simply one piece of the broader marketing puzzle? It's a question that stirs up strong opinions in boardrooms, agencies, and comms teams alike. Some argue PR is strategic storytelling aimed at building relationships, while marketing is focused on driving sales. Others say that in today's world of integrated messaging, the separation is outdated.In this episode, we take on the debate head-on, exploring how the roles overlap, where they diverge, and whether the modern media landscape has blurred the lines beyond repair. Is PR still its own function—or has it become just another lane on marketing's highway?Listen For::10 Fyre Festival The Luxury Mirage 4:02 Influence vs Image Showdown 6:25 PR Is the Pie 10:14 The Sad Fate of Local Media 13:02 Metrics KPIs and the Dashboard Wars 18:54 Who Owns the Message 25:10 The Final Prediction Marketers Report to PRRate this podcast with just one click Stories and Strategies WebsiteCurzon Public Relations WebsiteAre you a brand with a podcast that needs support?

Support AND/BOTH: Help us offset production costs while we're growingIn today's roundtable episode, Ashley and Erin chat with two women building deeply human solutions for working moms: Kate Tovsen, founder of The Society of Working Moms and Kate Tovsen Media, and Alli Kushner, founder of BeeKyn, a soon-to-launch playdate matching and scheduling platform for modern families.This honest, wide-ranging discussion explores why loneliness is a shared, but rarely talked about part of motherhood, especially for those balancing careers, businesses, and caregiving. Each guest offers a unique lens into how accessible community, supportive tools, and even digital innovation like asynchronous connection or curated online spaces can create more room for joy, help, and human connection in this messy middle of parenting.Whether you're raising toddlers or teens, running a company or running late to pickup, this conversation will help you feel seen, and remind you that building meaningful community is possible, even in a world that feels increasingly noisy and disconnected.What you'll learn:Why 70% of moms report feeling lonely—and what to do about itHow motherhood changes your ability to connect (and what community can look like now)Why the “right” community for you will change over timeThe difference between joining a community and staying in oneHow tech can support, not replace, real-life connectionTips for building your own support network, even in small, siloed waysHow parenting, business, and identity overlap in real-world community-buildingWhy perfection isn't the point—starting messy is often the keyConnect with Erin: Website: https://www.pgishparenting.comInstagram: @pgishparentingPG ish podcastConnect with Kate:katetovsenmedia.comSociety of Working Moms Connect with Alli:allikushner.comBeeKynConnect with Ashley:Website: https://dovetaildesigns.coPodcast website: https://www.andbothpodcast.com/AND/BOTH Community: https://www.andbothpodcast.com/andboth-communityDovetail® App: https://airtable.com/appn6w6IWipJYIuA3/pagZys7UnECzM46iJ/formSocial:Instagram: @dovetailappFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/dovetaildesigns.coLinkedIn:

Most PR strategies still focus on the big three: social, legacy media, and search. But while everyone's watching the headlines, the real conversations—the ones shaping trust, behavior, and brand reputation—are happening in people's ears. Podcasts aren't just a trend or another content format. They're a strategic intelligence channel, and if you're not monitoring them, you're missing critical signals. In this episode of Stories and Strategies, we talk to Bradley Davis, co-founder and CEO of Podchaser, the platform often called the “IMDb of podcasts.” From how global brands like Starbucks and Amazon use podcast data to shape campaigns, to why the most valuable audience insights aren't public-facing at all,  PR pros need to know what they can no longer afford to ignore.Listen For1:29 The Crackle That Started It All3:33 Podchaser: IMDb for Podcasts5:25 Podcasting as a Third Dimension of Analytics8:20 Guest Pitching vs. Starting a Podcast10:32 How Rogan, Newsom & Trump Changed the Game13:05 Key Messages Out.

Send us a textIn this episode of UX Leadership by Design, Mark Baldino talks with Chris Silvestri, founder and chief conversion copywriter at Conversion Alchemy. Chris brings a rare blend of backgrounds—software engineer, UX designer, and conversion copywriter—to tackle one of the toughest challenges in B2B: turning complex decision-making into clear, effective messaging. We dig into his AI-powered empathy framework, PATH, and explore how he uses customer research, simulated personas, and real language to help teams write content that connects. For anyone working in UX, product, or content, this is a masterclass in aligning messaging with how humans actually think, feel, and decide.Key TakeawaysEmpathy can be “engineered” – Chris shares his AI-powered PATH framework (Prepare, Articulate, Test, Harmonize) to simulate customer personas and deepen user empathy.Conversion is a series of micro-decisions – It's not just about a final click—every piece of copy should guide users through their decision-making process one step at a time.Vague messaging creates drop-off – If users can't understand what you do, who it's for, or why it's different in a few seconds, they'll bounce.Expectation-setting is everything – From homepage copy to “Book a Demo” CTAs, clear expectations can dramatically reduce friction and build trust.AI won't replace writers—it augments them – Used correctly, LLMs can simulate customers, test ideas, and accelerate iteration—if humans remain in the loop.UX, sales, and copy need a shared foundation – Chris's work helps unify these functions by anchoring messaging in customer research and decision psychology.Chapters00:00 – From Engineering to Empathy03:47 – Lessons from Dangerous Machines06:02 – The Pyramid of Conversion10:56 – Jobs to Be Done in B2B13:47 – Selling to the Whole Buying Team17:45 – Common Copy Mistakes25:45 – AI and Empathy: The PATH Framework31:00 – How Chris Uses AI Personas for Better Copy33:51 – AI as an Accelerator, Not a Replacement34:00 – From Copywriter to Conversion ArchitectResources & LinksConversion Alchemy Website, Newsletter, & PodcastConnect with Christopher Silvestri Connect with Mark on LinkedIn Fuzzy Math - B2B & Enterprise UX Design Consultancy

From political hostility to comment section outrage and tension in the workplace, he breaks down the core reasons we're seeing less respect and constructive dialogue—and what we can do to change that.Jim examines three key forces driving today's decline in civility:A divisive political climateThe rise of digital communication and loss of human nuanceEscalating stress and pressure in everyday lifeHe challenges listeners to reflect on how they respond to difficult situations, and whether they want to be remembered as someone who fuels division—or someone who brings people together.Key Topics CoveredWhy civility is more than just politenessHow political polarization has normalized disrespectThe impact of social media on empathy and accountabilityThe toll chronic stress takes on patience and behaviorMisconceptions around humility, empathy, and vulnerabilityThe importance of interacting with people who think differentlyWhy leading by example matters more than everSupporting Statistics85% of U.S. adults say the tone and nature of political debate has become more negative (Pew Research Center)88% of Americans believe political incivility is a serious problem (Georgetown University)Research shows digital communication reduces emotional cues, increasing misunderstandings and perceived rudenessThe American Psychological Association reports that high stress levels are linked to increased irritability and decreased civilityPractical TakeawaysDon't wait for others to model civility—be the exampleReplace assumptions with honest questionsEngage with new perspectives, not just familiar onesPractice self-reflection instead of reacting impulsivelyConsider reading Meditations by Marcus Aurelius to ground your perspectiveThink long-term—civility builds relationship equity and trust over timeClosing Thought“You don't need to wait for someone else to set the example.
