Ten days off the Appalachian Trail and I'm deep in the post-trail fog—so I'm doing what any reasonable human would: grading my own record attempt. In this episode I hand out a full report card on the AT self-supported FKT—physical execution, sleep, injuries, nutrition (hello 1,000-cal drink mix), logistics (RIP Shenandoah resupply), mental game, weather, terrain, and storytelling—then tally the GPA. I riff on why drone shots aren't a story, share some Mammoth 200 takes, and explain how two left shoes, a missing electronics bag, and shoe-toe peekaboo somehow still add up to a record. We hit night hiking tactics, the “toughness groove,” and field a few listener questions. Also: a quick bit on why it's “Appalachia,” not “Appa-lay-sha.”If this episode resonated, consider donating to The Trevor Project (link below)—they provide life-saving support and resources.Donate to the Trevor Project: https://give.thetrevorproject.org/fundraiser/6530749Sponsors that kept me moving: Janji (Snappy Trekker shirt & 5" AFO Ultra shorts), ReadyWise (my breakfast scramble), CS Instant Coffee (trail rocket fuel), and Garage Grown Gear (where cottage dreams live).

One year after her landslide election victory, Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum remains remarkably popular, with around 80 percent of Mexicans backing her policies. The left-wing politician has rolled out nationwide many of the measures she first introduced as mayor of Mexico City. But while the "Sheinbaum formula" appears to be working for now, major challenges lie ahead: from tackling insecurity to managing a delicate trade relationship with the United States of Donald Trump.

To understand what's coming, Rob and Val have to look back at the infamous "schism" between GW's design studios and the resulting scramble during Old World's launch.  After some updates on Val's **Square Based Open Toronto** and the wild success of Rob's Foray format, we get into the big questions: Will Kislev finally ride forth from the tundra? Could the Vampire Coast set sail as a new faction? Are Dark Elves, Chaos Dwarfs, or even the Vampire Counts poised for a grand return?

The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn – 00:00 In this week’s In-Ear Insights, the multi-platinum, award-winning, record-setting—you name it. People love to talk about awards, particularly companies. We love to say we are an award-winning this, we’re an award-winning that. Authors say, “I’m a best-selling, award-winning book.” But Katie, you had a very interesting and provocative question: In today’s marketing landscape, do awards still matter? Katie Robbert – 00:27 And I still have that question. Also, let me back up a little bit. When I made the transition from working in more of an academic field to the public sector, I had a huge revelation—my eyes were open to how awards worked. Call it naive, call it I was sheltered from this side of the industry, but I didn’t know at the time that in order to win an award, you had to submit yourself for the award. I naively thought that you just do good work and you get nominated by someone who recognizes that you’re doing good work. That’s how awards work. Because in my naive brain, you do good work and they reward you for it. Katie Robbert – 01:16 And so here’s your award for being amazing. Speaker 3 – 01:18 And that is not at all that. Katie Robbert – 01:20 That’s not how any of the Emmys or the Grammys—they all… Speaker 3 – 01:24 Have to submit themselves. Katie Robbert – 01:25 I didn’t know that they have to choose the scene that they think is award-winning. Yes, it’s voted on by a jury of your peers, which is also perhaps problematic depending on who’s on the jury. There’s the whole—the whole thing just feels like one big scam. Katie Robbert – 01:46 That said, per usual, I’m an n of 1, and I know that in certain industries, the more awards and accolades you rack up and can put on your website, the more likely it is that people are going to hire you or your firm or buy your products because they’re award-winning. So that’s the human side of it. Part of what I’m wondering when I said, “Do awards matter?” I was really wondering about with people using generative AI to do searches. We got this question from a client earlier this week of when we’re looking at organic search, how much… Speaker 3 – 02:29 Of that traffic is coming from the different LLMs? Katie Robbert – 02:33 And so it just made me think: if people are only worried about if they’re showing up in the large language models, do awards matter? So that was a lot of preamble. That was a lot of pre-ramble, Chris. So, do awards matter in the age of LLMs? Christopher S. Penn – 02:55 I think that you’ve highlighted the two angles. One is the human angle. Awards very much matter to humans because it’s a heuristic. It’s a mental shortcut. The CMO says, “Go build me a short list of vendors in this case.” And what does the intern who usually is the one saddled with the job do? They Google for “award-winning vendor in X, Y or Z.” If they use generative AI and ChatGPT, they will very likely still say, “Build me a short list of award-winning whatevers in this thing because my CMO told me to.” And instead of them manually Googling, a tool like ChatGPT or Gemini will do the Googling for you. Christopher S. Penn – 03:33 But if that heuristic of “I need something that’s award-winning” is still part of your lexicon, part of the decision makers’ lexicon, and maybe even they don’t delegate to the intern anymore, maybe they set the deep research query themselves—say, “Give me a short list of award-winning marketing agencies”—then it still matters a lot. In the context of generative AI itself, I would argue that it actually matters more today. And here’s why: In things like the RACE framework and the Rappel framework and the many different prompt frameworks that we all use, the OpenAI Harmony framework, you name it. What do they always say? “Choose a role.” Christopher S. Penn – 04:15 “Choose a role with specifics like ‘you are an award-winning copywriter,’ ‘you are an award-winning this,’ ‘you are an award-winning that,’ ‘you are a Nobel Prize-winning this,’ ‘you are a CMI Content Marketing Award winner of this or that’ as part of the role in the prompt.” If you are that company that is ordering and you have provided ample evidence of that—when you win an award, you send out press releases, you put it on social media stuff—Trust Insights won the award for this. We are an award-winning so-and-so. That makes it into the training data. Christopher S. Penn – 04:46 And if someone invokes that phrase “award-winning consulting firm,” if we’ve done our job of seeding the LLMs with our award-winning language, just by nature of probability, we have a higher likelihood of our entities being invoked with association to that term. Katie Robbert – 05:09 It reminds me—this must have been almost two decades ago—I worked with a stakeholder who was a big fan of finding interesting recipes online. Speaker 3 – 05:25 So again, remember: Two decades ago. Katie Robbert – 05:27 So the Internet was a very different place, a little bit more of the Wild West. Actually, no, that’s not true. Christopher S. Penn – 05:34 MySpace was a thing. Katie Robbert – 05:36 I never had a MySpace. And the query, he would always start with “world’s best.” So he wouldn’t just say, “Get me a chili recipe.” He would always say, “Get me the world’s best chili recipe.” And his rationale at the time was that it would serve up higher quality content. Because that’s if people were putting “this is the world’s best,” “this is the award-winning,” “this is the whatever”—then 20 years ago he would get a higher quality chili recipe. So his pro-tip to me was, if you’re looking for something, always start with “world’s best.” And it just strikes me that 20 years later, that hasn’t changed. Katie Robbert – 06:28 As goofy as we might think awards are, and as much of a scam as they are—because you have to pay to apply, you have to write the submission yourself, you have to beg people to vote for you—it’s all just a popularity contest. It sounds like in terms of the end user searching, it still matters. And that bums me out, quite honestly, because awards are a lot of work. Christopher S. Penn – 06:50 They are a lot of work. But to your point, “What’s the world’s best chili recipe?” I literally ask ChatGPT, “What is the title of it?” “Award-style chili recipe.” Right there it is. That’s literally. That’s a terrible prompt. We all know that’s a terrible prompt. But that’s not a dishonest prompt. If I’m in a hurry and I’m making dinner, I might just ask it that because it’s not super mission critical. I’m okay with a query like this. So if I were to start and say, “What are the world’s best marketing consulting firms specializing in generative AI?” That’s also not an unreasonable thing, of course. What does it do? It kicks off a web search. So immediately it starts doing web searches. Christopher S. Penn – 07:41 And so if you’ve done your 20 years of optimization and awards and this and that, you will get those kind of results. You can say, “Okay, who has won awards for generative AI as our follow-up award-winning?” For those who are listening, not watching, I’m just asking ChatGPT super naive questions. So, who are award winners in generative AI, et cetera? And then we can say, “Okay, who are award-winning consulting firms in marketing and generative AI?” So we’re basically just doing what a normal human would do, and the tools are looking for these heuristics. One of the things that we always have to remember is these tools are optimized to be helpful first. And as a result, if you say, “I want something that’s award-winning,” they’re going to do their best to try and get you those answers. Christopher S. Penn – 08:43 So do awards matter? Yes, because clearly the tools are able to understand. Yes, I need to go find consulting firms that have won awards. Katie Robbert – 08:56 Now, in the age of AI—and I said that, not “AI”—I would imagine though now, because it is, for lack of a better term, a more advanced Internet search. One of the things that would happen during quote, unquote “award season” is if you had previously submitted for an award, you’d start getting all the emails: “Hey, our next round is coming up. Don’t forget to submit,” blah, blah. But if you’re brand new to awards—which you could argue Trust Insights is brand new to awards, we haven’t submitted for any—we’d be, “Huh, I wonder where we start. I wonder what awards are available for us to submit to.” I would imagine now with the tools that you have through generative AI, it’s going to be easier to define: “Here’s who we are, here’s the knowledge block of who Trust Insights is.” Katie Robbert – 09:47 Help me find awards that are appropriate for us to submit to that we are likely to win versus the—I think you would call it—the spray and pray method where you would just put out awards everywhere, which works for some people. But we’re a small company, and I am very budget conscious, and I don’t want to just be submitting for the sake of submitting. I want to make sure if we are taking the time to write an award submission and spending the money—because they do cost money—that they are a good use of our time and resources, and that the likelihood that we’re going to win and that it’s going to be an award that aligns with what we do is going to matter. Christopher S. Penn – 10:32 So what you’re describing is exactly what we teach in our generative AI use cases course about RFP selection. Go/no-go evaluators to say, “Here’s an RFP, should I bid on it? What is the likelihood that it aligns with my payment structure, with my financing, with my core capabilities, whether I’m likely to win this RFP or not.” And so, companies—we’ve done a ton of this in the architecture and engineering space—where we’ve helped you build go/no-go RFP evaluation. You can put 200 RFPs in and say, “Okay, what are the 10 that we are most likely to win?” And that has been enormously valuable for people. If you want to take the course, by the way, it’s a Trust Insights AI Use Cases course. Christopher S. Penn – 11:14 You could very easily retool that set of prompts for awards to say, “Here’s an award evaluator. Here’s, as you said, the knowledge block. Here are 200 different awards I could apply for. Give me the five I’m most likely to win.” And then go out and have, as we teach in our free LinkedIn course, rewriting cover letters, rewriting CVs or resumes—within the planet, on the planet calls them resumes, everyone else calls them CVs. Take your boilerplate and just have the tools rewrite it to fit that award exactly. Being truthful, being honest, being factually correct. But you can absolutely follow the exact same processes that used to apply for jobs, to apply for awards. Christopher S. Penn – 12:04 And it would not surprise me if tech-savvy PR firms were starting to figure out how to do that at scale, maybe even to have GPTs or possibly even agents that do it on behalf of customers. Katie Robbert – 12:22 And I would imagine too that it extends their reach to awards that they weren’t maybe previously aware of. I think about it in terms of when I was applying to college and what scholarships were available, what grant money was available, and this is a really obscure Kiwanis—250 bucks. I’ve never done anything with them, but I need the money. So let me go ahead and volunteer on a Saturday morning. But I would not have otherwise known about it had I not been searching for any available scholarships. And I think the same is true of these awards. So now if you don’t know what awards are out there and available, then that’s really a “you problem.” Christopher S. Penn – 13:11 In fact, I’ll be doing a talk at the Massachusetts Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators on generative AI in November. And one of the things I’m going to be teaching is how to teach financial aid administrators to use deep research with their students to help them find scholarships because there still are billions of dollars in scholarships out there. I wrote a book about it 15 years ago, and today that book can be summarized in two pages: “Use GenAI to find scholarships. Use GenAI to apply for them.” Done. You can scrap the other 78 pages. You don’t need them. Christopher S. Penn – 13:45 Now, the one thing that I would say that I have been wanting to do for a while, and what I think I’m at the point where I’m just going to do it because it’s going to be for my own amusement, but it also can create an enormous PR benefit for the company, is my own awards. Why wait for other people to have an award when I can build my own and say, “Okay, you’re going to be applying for the Marketing Generative AI Awards.” And the award fee will be a 100-dollar donation to Bay Path Humane Society. That’s the entry fee. Christopher S. Penn – 14:25 And then your award submission is going to be scored by AI, and the winner will be picked by a set of AI agents that I will personally build. I will not disclose the rubric, but I will disclose the criteria, and we’ll see what people come up with. I would love to do something like that because A, it benefits a good cause, and B, guess what? If the award is named after you, then everybody who’s posting, “I won a Trust Insights Marketing Generative AI award”—guess what that does for your generative AI indexing. Speaker 3 – 14:58 Interesting. Katie Robbert – 15:01 So, it sounds like there’s two angles. One: start your own. I guess this is true of anything: “Oh, I couldn’t get into that community. I couldn’t get into that club.” Speaker 3 – 15:10 Okay, start your own. Katie Robbert – 15:12 “I couldn’t win an award.” “Okay, start your own.” Give yourself an award. “You are the first recipient of the Trust Insights ‘great guy’ award.” Christopher S. Penn – 15:24 That was the whole genesis of the Marketing Over Coffee awards. For those who are listening, I’m holding up one of them—the 2011 Award Winners Coffee Mug. They’re just coffee mugs. These are $2 each, so it’s not a super expensive thing. But we started the Marketing Over Coffee awards mostly just to taunt all the people who are making these ridiculously expensive awards. “$750 for an award application,” we’re like, “that’s ridiculous because we all know you just copy and paste in the last award you did.” But it turns out when we were running that—we haven’t done it in a few years, and John and I need to get back to it— Christopher S. Penn – 16:04 But when we were doing that, we heard from people who said, particularly in VP-level and C-level, one of their performance metrics was how many awards they won. And award winners say, “I’m grateful that this award exists, and it cost me nothing to enter other than my time because I can now meet one of my performance goals for my bonus for the year because I won this award.” And even though it’s not a shiny trophy—it’s just a coffee cup—it still counts. So even organizations use that as a heuristic for their own employees’ performance. Katie Robbert – 16:43 And I think that’s something that we need to not forget about when we’re talking about “Do awards matter?” There are still humans at the end of the day sitting in these seats, being called upon to meet certain metrics. Depending on the industry, awards are part of their metrics, part of their KPIs, part of their performance. Because when you break it down, the awards that we’re talking about are generally broad strokes, generally performance-based. So what did you do that was cool, new, interesting, got some kind of outcome? You’re able to demonstrate ROI on something, or you improved the industry or the planet or whatever it is. They are performance-based. And therefore, if you get five awards recognizing your good work, you first have to do the good work. Katie Robbert – 17:45 And so I can understand why that’s a motivator. So if I win an award, it means I did something good. First, let me figure out what the good thing is that’s award-worthy. Christopher S. Penn – 17:57 Yes, exactly. And with that thought process comes a lot of clarity. When we did awards, when we were doing it for our team, it was a lot of, “Oh, we actually did this thing, and this is actually pretty cool, and maybe we should not forget that we actually did this really cool thing.” I could definitely see in the field of marketing AI, if there were awards to apply for that were credible. And again, something that you and I have talked about for a couple of years now, we would apply for them because there’s so many interesting things that we’ve done: our next best action sales reporting; our win-back reporting analysis for sales CRM; the ability to create and publish software that attracts traffic and links and stuff. Christopher S. Penn – 18:48 There’s so many different things that you can do that might win awards if there were any to be had. Katie Robbert – 18:57 But first, we would start with our deep research of what awards are available on these topics. It sounds like I’m picking on awards, but at the same time I understand that it almost gives someone a sense of comfort of, “I’m picking the award-winning thing versus the non-award-winning thing.” Speaker 3 – 19:32 That, and that only benefits us. Katie Robbert – 19:18 So, are there awards for courses? Could I submit any of our courses for awards? Be, “Here’s our award-winning AI strategy course.” People would likely pay attention to. Christopher S. Penn – 19:35 It’s the same as I maintain my IBM Champion certification. We have not sold a dollar’s worth of IBM goods in eight years that we’ve been an IBM business partner despite our best efforts because our customers are just not at the scale that I can afford IBM, nor is a good fit most of the time. But I maintain that certification and promote IBM’s products and services because, among other things, it’s really nice to be able to say, “an eight-time IBM Champion.” That’s a mental heuristic. People have: “I’ve heard of IBM. An IBM Champion sounds important. And so you must know what you’re doing.” It’s all these mental shortcuts we use in an increasingly busy world. And I think that’s another part that we haven’t talked about yet. In a world where—God, I sound like an AI. Christopher S. Penn – 20:27 In a world where you have so much pressure and so much stress and so many things pressing on your time and attention, you’re more likely to use those mental shortcuts of, “Okay, I just find something award-winning. I don’t have time for this.” Katie Robbert – 20:40 So I guess, all to say, awards still matter. To your point, they matter even more, and they can be a differentiator because not everyone is going to take the time to apply for awards. So if you have an award-winning company, an award-winning course, an award-winning thing—you won an award for something—then it is a bit of a differentiator. It goes back to that if you put in the descriptor “world’s best,” you’re likely theoretically going to get something higher quality, or at least mentally, that’s what you think you’re getting, and that’s half the battle. Christopher S. Penn – 21:21 Yes. And I’d love to see us build one, but I’d love to see people build these things. Particularly for areas where recognition is sparse. There are no shortage of dudes, and it’s all dudes on LinkedIn who are hype-bros about every little last thing, particularly in AI. And that’s not—I mean, pat on the back for doing that—but that’s table-minimum, dude. You are not revolutionizing the world. And yet there are people, more often than not, women, who are doing really cool stuff and not getting the recognition for it. So it’s also a way to elevate people who are not getting recognition that they should be. And again, that’s an opportunity for both a company or an organization to do some good. Christopher S. Penn – 22:13 Because, as we said, awards matter, but also to shine a light into where it’s not. Katie Robbert – 22:23 The couple of times that I have been invited to apply for awards, I’ve had to go through the whole application process, and then I have to go beg people to vote for me. And for that, there’s—we can get into the psychology, but let’s skip it today. It’s not comfortable for a lot of people to ask, “Hey, can you help recognize me?” Christopher S. Penn – 22:54 I get why awards do that. Same reason South by Southwest does that. They say, “Popularity is a filter.” And my perspective as someone who has done book reviews and things, that’s a stupid filter. Because there are a lot of things that are popular that are stupid. Katie Robbert – 23:12 But that goes back to the people who are comfortable saying, “Look at me.” It doesn’t matter if they necessarily have something to say. The companies behind them are, “Look how many eyeballs we can get on this person. Look how much clout this person has.” “It’s. I brought that back. You’re welcome.” But it’s why influencers exist. Awards are just another version of influence. Christopher S. Penn – 23:45 Exactly. Whereas I would like to see more focus on the work itself. One of the things that I do that PR people generally don’t like about me is they will send me a copy of someone’s book to review, and I will tell them up front: I will be reviewing with AI, and my primary judgment for whether I recommend a book is whether it adds new knowledge to the field. Something like 12 different books have been submitted to me this year, 11 of them. When I handed back the draft to the PR person, “Why did you say this?” I said, “I didn’t. AI said this.” AI said, “Your client’s book offers nothing new. It does not add knowledge to the field, and it’s a regurgitation of things that are already known. So my recommendation is, ‘Do not buy this book.'” Christopher S. Penn – 24:38 And so those book reviews never got published. Weird. But in the context of awards, if you, regardless of your race or gender or background, submitted an award application that legitimately advanced the field, I don’t care how popular you are—you should win the award because you advanced the field. Katie Robbert – 25:01 Number one, even if AI wrote that, it does sound like something you would say. Christopher S. Penn – 25:05 Absolutely. Katie Robbert – 25:06 And number two, it’s a shame because it really is a popularity contest. It doesn’t matter how far… Speaker 3 – 25:12 You’ve advanced the field. Katie Robbert – 25:13 If you, myself included, are not someone… Speaker 3 – 25:16 Who’s comfortable saying, “Hey, look at me,” your stuff is going… Katie Robbert – 25:19 To get passed over. And it’s just a shame. So I think, all to say, awards matter. Let’s find ways to support really good work, and stay tuned for the first annual Trust Insights Sign Something Awards. We don’t know yet. It’s TBD. Christopher S. Penn – 25:38 Yes, exactly. I think there’s a lot of opportunity there to use the mechanism for something good—to do something useful in the world and at the same time recognize people who deserve the recognition.

Jeffrey Epstein was deeply embedded in the socialite world, cultivating friendships and influence among some of the richest, most powerful, and most famous people globally. His circle included high-profile figures such as Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, Prince Andrew, Leon Black, Les Wexner, and Alan Dershowitz. These ties ranged from superficial social interactions—attending elite parties, being included in birthday books, and hobnobbing at private estates—to deeper personal and professional arrangements. Epstein also associated with powerful facilitators like Ghislaine Maxwell, a British socialite who helped him gain entrée into upper-class society and allegedly assisted him in recruiting girls.A more nuanced aspect of Epstein's socialite friendships is the blend of charm, glamour, secrecy, and power these relationships enabled. Some reciprocated gestures—messages in the “birthday book” (like that from Leon Black), lavish gifts, and patronage—while others later claimed ignorance or deniability when accusations arose. Many have since faced scrutiny for how close they were, whether they benefitted materially or socially, and whether they turned a blind eye to Epstein's crimes. Maxwell is central to this network—not only as a social figure but also as the linchpin facilitating connections, orchestrating social entry for Epstein, and allegedly being complicit in illegal schemes.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://pagesix.com/2022/08/24/caroline-stanbury-accused-of-being-in-jeffrey-epsteins-black-book/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Growing a podcast isn't just about hitting record and hoping for the best. If you've been tuning in, you know we're all about making remarkable content that actually resonates with listeners. Last week, we dug deep into what successful shows are doing differently, and trust me, it's not rocket science. It's about conversation, not just broadcasting. Today, I'm sharing free tools and insights to help connect with your audience better and some juicy news from Spotify that might just change the way you think about your podcast. Spoiler alert: it's not all sunshine and rainbows. I looked at some of the big names in the biz and guess what? Most of them have one thing in common — they interact with their listeners. They don't just talk at you; they want to talk with you. We're talking newsletters, voicemails, and even knowing the eye color of your audience. Because if you can relate to your listeners on that level, you're doing something right. I even had a hilarious blunder with my email list that turned into a goldmine of feedback — the kind of feedback that makes or breaks your show. So, if you're still wondering why your podcast isn't growing, it might be time to roll up those sleeves and get face-to-face with your audience, even if it's over Zoom. The best way to find out what your audience wants is to ask them. I'm inviting you into my podcast kitchen to help shape future episodes. Because at the end of the day, your podcast should feel like a recipe that everyone can enjoy together. Join me for a live chat on October 16th where we'll dive into what you want to hear, and let's make this show the best it can be. Remember, if you want to grow, you have to listen first. Now, go out there and start those conversations!Tools To Get In Touch With Your AudienceYou could do this via

Could Simulation Theory be the key to uniting science and spirituality once and for all? Dr. Rizwan Virk (MIT professor, video game pioneer, and bestselling author of The Simulation Hypothesis) joins Mayim Bialik's Breakdown to explore whether we're living inside a computer simulation and why this idea may be the most important breakthrough of our time. From bridging ancient spiritual wisdom with modern quantum physics, to explaining life's glitches, suffering, and precognitive dreams, Dr. Virk unpacks why simulation theory could radically change the way we see reality. In this mind-bending podcast episode, Mayim & Jonathan dive into: - Why Rizwan Virk believes simulation theory is more spiritual than you think - The surprising connections between quantum physics, religion, and near-death experiences - The Virtual Reality moment that convinced Virk the simulation might be real - “Glitches in the Matrix” and the Mandela Effect - Are precognitive dreams & near-death experiences proof of the simulation? - Could aliens or future humans be running the simulation? - What's beyond the simulation?

If you're building for applause, you'll quit the moment it gets quiet and uncomfortable. Real leaders aren't built in the highlight reels — they're forged in the moments when obedience to purpose feels unpopular.In this episode, we'll talk about what it really looks like to step into leadership as a faith-led woman, even when it costs you approval. I'll show you:Why purpose will always offend people committed to staying the sameHow to stop shrinking your message to make others comfortableWhat the Bible shows us about unpopular obedience (think: Noah building the ark before there was rain)Real-world stories of women who chose calling over clapping — and changed industries because of itThis is the reminder you need: Popularity won't sustain you. Purpose will.
