Send us a textIn this Tech Tuesday episode, Dr. Donna Brezinski, founder and CEO of Little Sparrows Technologies, joins the show to talk about the BiliHut — a portable, high-intensity phototherapy device designed to treat neonatal jaundice with both clinical effectiveness and practical usability in mind.A neonatologist by training, Dr. Brezinski explains how her clinical experiences led to the development of the BiliHut, which delivers uniform phototherapy across the baby's body while solving key issues like positioning errors, thermal regulation, and access for breastfeeding. Unlike traditional overhead lights or fiber-optic pads, the BiliHut is engineered for both hospital and home use, with versions adaptable to low-resource settings and unreliable power grids.The conversation covers the physics behind its design, recent clinical data on treatment time, and deployment strategies from rural U.S. areas to clinics in Mongolia and Burundi. Dr. Brezinski also outlines how clinicians and families in the U.S. can access the device through durable medical equipment providers, visiting nurse agencies, or hospital DME programs.More information about the BiliHut and its availability can be found at littlesparrowstech.com.

We go inside the the enormity, complication, and notoriety of the BEZOS PRE-NUP AGREEMENT with divorce attorney, MARILYN CHINITZ of BLANK ROME. https://youtu.be/nMMp6He056Y https://open.spotify.com/episode/39KMPMRhwGfYbdZVMJHEan?si=36c5c8a927bf4a6f Outline of the ISSUES INSIDE the BEZOS PRE-NUP General Concepts What happens without a pre-nup? Process for disclosing assets Previous marriages and those pre/post-nups? Community vs Equitable Distribution (Does the Pre-Nup contract this away?) Separate property Outside trusts? Estate Planning? Pre-nup vs ultra high net worth pre-nup Financial Considerations (and Complication) Non-Financial- NDA, media activity, scope of negotiations, data and tech issues Let's go through the General Fact Pattern High Profile Asymmetric Net Worths Kids? Which state is used for choice of law? Portability? How do you make sure this has teeth? (Coercion penalties) Spousal support / alimony? Escalator or sunset clauses? Disqualifying or "infidelity" or "weight gain" clauses? What happens if children? Other constituencies - charities, businesses, political causes etc Integration with estate documents, life insurance, other vehicles Is there a check-in every five years? What else can we learn from what is inside the Bezos Pre-Nup? Transcript Frazer Rice (00:02.07) - Inside the Bezos Pre-Nup Welcome aboard, Marilyn. Marilyn Chinitz (00:04.088) Thank you, really nice to be here and nice to talk to you about what's inside the Bezos Pre-Nup. Frazer Rice (00:07.541) We sort of regaled ourselves with a mutual friend and we're already, I feel like we're already related. That's right. So we're going to talk a little bit about probably one of the highest profile marriages in the world that just happened with the Bezos Sanchez union and get inside the Bezos pre-Nup. But for just for a little bit here, let's talk about what happens in a sort of family law divorce setting. Marilyn Chinitz (00:13.39) Your best and glorious buddies are ready. Frazer Rice (00:35.232) With general concepts because we're going to be diving into some specifics with the case study here. What happens when something goes wrong and we have a divorce that happens without a prenup? Marilyn Chinitz (00:46.734) So it depends what state you're in. If you're in a state like New York, then we have equitable distribution laws. If you're in a state like community property in California, then those laws are very different. So if you have no prenup, and a lot of people don't because they start their marriage with very little assets, and everything that you acquired during your marriage is now subject to a division. Frazer Rice (00:49.569) Of course. Marilyn Chinitz (01:15.918) And what happens is you start to trace the assets and you look at, what do I have? You look at homes that you purchase, real estate that you purchase, stocks, securities that you purchased. It doesn't matter in whose name the asset is held. It's a marital asset if it was acquired during the marriage and it was not gifted or inherited. If you come into the marriage with assets and you have no prenuptial agreement and you keep those separate property assets clean, and I'll explain what that means. When they go up in value because you actively caused their appreciation, they may be subject to a marital claim, the appreciation aspect. If you… have an asset that went up in value because of passive reasons and you kept that asset separate, it will remain separate property. So let's talk about an example. If I owned a building before I got married and that building was worth five million dollars and then I get married and years later I get divorced, that building is now worth twenty million dollars. It appreciated by 15 million. Did it appreciate because of market fluctuation, because the market went up, real estate did better?

In this episode of Game Changers, Jackson Vaughan breaks down the evolution of console business models—from the Magnavox Odyssey's one-time hardware sale in the 1970s to today's mix of subscriptions, digital storefronts, and cloud gaming. Along the way, we explore how the introduction of game cartridges sparked the rise of third-party developers, how Nintendo's 30% licensing fee shaped the modern industry, and why console makers began selling hardware at a loss to win long-term loyalty. With Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo now deploying distinct strategies—cloud-first, ecosystem-focused, or exclusive-driven—the business of consoles is more complex than ever. What does the future hold? Portability, mobile connectivity, and new monetization models may be just the beginning. Liked what you heard? Subscribe for weekly newsletter episodes!

The Modern Therapist's Survival Guide with Curt Widhalm and Katie Vernoy
MFTs Providing Therapy Across State Lines Through License Portability in the United States: An interview with Roger Smith Curt and Katie chat with Roger Smith, Chief Advocacy Officer and General Counsel for American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists, about the challenges and progress in licensure portability for Marriage and Family Therapists (MFTs). He explains why AAMFT opted for an endorsement model over interstate compacts, the success of the Access MFTs initiative, and what's next for portability efforts in 2025. Transcripts for this episode will be available at mtsgpodcast.com! In this podcast episode, we talk with Roger Smith about LMFT License Portability As more and more therapy is happening online, therapists have an opportunity to work with clients from all over the world. In the United States, there have been efforts by social workers, mental health counselors, and psychologists to create inter-state compacts to help regulate these therapists (and provide opportunities to deliver care legally in other states). Marriage and Family Therapists have been left behind and are now seeking a different path (reciprocity or portability) due to the unique characteristics of the LMFT profession. We reached out to Roger Smith of AAMFT to help us understand why this decision was made as well as what it means for MFTs. Why AAMFT Chose the Endorsement Model Over Compacts · Interstate compacts were considered but ultimately deemed too costly and unsustainable. · Large states like California and New York have not adopted ANY healthcare compacts, limiting effectiveness. · Endorsement model: Allows MFTs to practice in other states if they hold an unencumbered license—without having to meet initial requirements again. Success of the "Access MFTs" Model · In 2024, 7 out of 10 targeted states passed the Access MFTs model law. · States that adopted the model include Arizona, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, Tennessee, and Virginia. · Efforts continue in Kentucky and North Carolina for 2025. Future of MFT Portability & Barriers California is not pursuing portability legislation but is working with CAMFT on national exam advocacy. Exam requirements can be a barrier to full portability. Expansion plans focus on pro-telehealth states and underserved regions. Member Interest & Cost Considerations for MFTs seeking to practice across state lines A 2022 AAMFT survey showed strong member interest in portability, especially among younger therapists. Costs are a factor—both the Access MFTs model and interstate compacts involve financial considerations for therapists. National Licensure for therapists: Why It's Not an Option Licensure is a state-level issue, and federal intervention is unlikely. A national exam or license would face constitutional challenges and resistance from state regulatory boards.

In this episode of the AICPA Personal Financial Planning Podcast, Cary Sinnett welcomes Bob Keebler, a nationally recognized expert in estate and tax planning. Together, they break down the critical topic of portability in estate planning—what it is, how it works, and why it matters for both financial planners and clients. Key Insights: Portability: Use It or Lose It – If you don't elect portability within the required time frame, the deceased spouse's unused estate tax exemption is lost forever. Deadlines Matter – The DSUE must be filed within 9 months of death, but an extension up to 15 months is possible. For smaller estates, a late portability election may be available for up to 5 years. Bypass Trust vs. Portability – While portability can double a surviving spouse's exemption, a bypass trust protects future growth from estate taxes. The right choice depends on long-term tax projections. Estate Planning in 2025 & Beyond – The current $14 million exemption per person is set to sunset in 2026, potentially dropping to $7 million. Planners must prepare clients accordingly. CPAs Must Be Proactive – Even if a CPA isn't directly engaged for estate tax returns, they should ask key questions about a client's estate plan, especially if the surviving spouse's assets could exceed the future exemption limit.

Hey, open enrollment ends in just a few days—have you decided on a new health insurance plan yet? If not, you might not have to. What if there was another way—a biblical solution for meeting your healthcare costs? Let's explore medical cost sharing, a faith-based alternative to traditional health insurance that could save you hundreds of dollars a month.What Is Medical Cost Sharing?Medical cost sharing is a cooperative approach to healthcare expenses rooted in biblical principles. It's an alternative to traditional health insurance in which members share each other's medical costs. The concept is inspired by Galatians 6:2, “Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.”One of the pioneers in this space is Christian Healthcare Ministries (CHM), the oldest organization in the medical cost-sharing space. Since 1981, CHM has enabled members to share nearly $11 billion in medical expenses. It's a nonprofit organization that operates on biblical stewardship, focusing on members' needs rather than profits.How Does Medical Cost Sharing Work?Instead of paying insurance premiums, members contribute a monthly share amount based on the plan they choose. This amount is typically much lower than traditional insurance premiums. Here's why:Self-Pay Model: CHM members are considered “self-pay” by healthcare providers, which often reduces costs significantly.Reimbursement System: Members submit bills for covered medical services and are reimbursed from the shared pool of funds.For example, under CHM's Bronze plan, the highest annual personal responsibility cost is $6,000 per person—a potentially lower-cost option compared to the high deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums of many insurance plans in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Marketplace.Key Advantages of Medical Cost-Sharing1. Cost SavingsCHM's nonprofit model focuses on its members rather than shareholders, allowing more resources to be allocated toward medical needs. This often makes it a more affordable option compared to traditional health insurance.2. Freedom of ChoiceUnlike traditional insurance, which often restricts members to a network of providers, medical cost-sharing has no networks. Members can visit any doctor or facility of their choice, and if the service is covered, they'll be reimbursed.3. PortabilityMedical cost sharing is portable, meaning your membership stays with you regardless of job changes or life transitions. Whether you're starting your own business or switching careers, you don't lose coverage.4. Community and PrayerBy joining CHM, you become part of a community of believers who support each other through prayer and encouragement. CHM's customer support team often prays with members, offering compassion and spiritual support during difficult times.5. Lower Overhead and Greater ControlCHM's lower administrative costs translate into lower costs for members. Additionally, with no insurance company acting as a middleman, members work directly with medical providers to set up treatment plans and payment arrangements.Why Consider Medical Cost Sharing?Health insurance companies can be a blessing, especially for catastrophic illnesses, but they're also large bureaucracies heavily regulated by the government. Medical cost sharing avoids many of these challenges, offering a simpler, more faith-focused approach to healthcare.If you've already signed up for health insurance for 2025 but are now considering medical cost sharing, you may still be able to cancel your insurance without penalty.To explore how medical cost sharing can be a biblical solution to healthcare costs, visit CHMinistries.org. You'll find detailed information about plans, benefits, and how to join this faith-based community. Don't miss this opportunity to align your healthcare decisions with your values.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My husband and I are purchasing term life insurance, and the question has come up—do we make each other the primary beneficiary, with our children as the contingent beneficiaries? We have a blended family, and three of our kids are already grown; two are married, while three are still in the house and getting ready to launch into the world as teenagers.I want some information on savings bonds. I have been to my bank and called my credit union, but neither one deals in savings bonds. I've got a grandson who's turning one, and I thought that might be a good birthday present for him in the future. But I just don't know where to go or what to do to purchase savings bonds for him.We recently sold our house for a good profit, and we're wondering how to tithe on it. Do we tithe on the full amount we received or only on what goes above the initial price and interest we paid?I have a 401(k), and I'd like to know how I can invest according to my values and the available options. The only options seem to be big companies that I'd rather not invest in. Do you have any suggestions?I was thinking of buying these two single-family homes. They're both $150,000 each. I have a property that's worth about $800,000. What are the implications of selling the multi-level property and buying the two single-family homes? Is there something I need to know besides the standard closing costs? The multi-level property is mortgage-free, with nothing owed on it.I bought a car years ago. I still owe about $5,500 on it, with a minimum monthly payment of $185. However, the car is starting to nickel and dime me on the cost of maintenance. The bank owns the title. What are my options here?Resources Mentioned:Christian Healthcare Ministries (CHM)SavingForCollege.comTreasuryDirect.govLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Considerable resources have been devoted to solving the challenge of portability in retirement savings over the past few years, and the stakes are high to get it right and cut down on costly an unnecessary retirement plan leakage.In this episode, we talk with Ben Thomason, Head of Defined Contribution Distribution at Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America, to explore the importance of portability and the unique challenges it poses when it comes to in-plan guaranteed lifetime income solutions.Thomason dives into the complexities of why portability matters for participants, preserving benefits, maintaining guarantees, and navigating the challenges of transferring retirement assets across plans and IRAs. He also talks about key factors advisors need to consider when assessing different in-plan guaranteed lifetime income options.Key Insights:Here are three concise key insights from the podcast episode:Technology's Role in Portability: Middleware technology is vital for maintaining seamless connectivity between record keepers and product providers, enabling easier portability of guaranteed lifetime income products and ensuring a consistent participant experience during transitions.Importance of Portability: Portability of retirement savings is crucial as workers frequently change jobs. In-plan guaranteed lifetime income solutions, such as annuities, need to ensure participants can transfer their benefits seamlessly without losing guarantees or facing disruptions.Product Design and Portability: Products designed as individual contracts offer significant advantages in portability over group contracts, as they maintain consistent benefits and guarantees when moved between plans, reducing administrative complexity and costs.

If you've been following the cryptocurrency and NFT conversation with us recently, you'll appreciate this incredible conversation with Robert Breedlove, a freedom maximalist and bitcoin-focused entrepreneur. If you haven't been following along, jump in now. This episode is less NFT and crypto wallet focused and more educational in that Robert breaks down inflation like very few can. Understanding something at its foundational level allows you to really think from first principles, which empowers you to make better decisions. Cryptocurrency is built on technology and Bitcoin has been performing like no other asset in history, but why and how is this possible? You may need to listen to this a few times, and may be even better with pen and paper to take notes. This is a crash course and deep dive on money, inflation, what property is, and why assets matter. Robert shares 5 properties of money: 1. Divisibility 2. Durability 3. Recognizability 4. Portability 5. Scarcity [Original air date: 10-12-21].

ADT's EVP and CMO DeLu Jackson joins The Current Podcast to discuss how the company's partnership with Major League Baseball's Miami Marlins reinforces the impact of live sports. Jackson also touches on why the marketing funnel isn't so much a funnel anymore as it is an “infinity loop.” Episode TranscriptPlease note, this transcript may contain minor inconsistencies compared to the episode audio.[00:00:00] Damian: I'm Damian Fowler.[00:00:02] Ilyse: And I'm Ilyse Liffering. And[00:00:03] Damian: welcome to this edition of The Current Podcast. [00:00:06] Ilyse: This week, we're delighted to talk with DeLu Jackson, EVP and CMO of ADT. [00:00:12] Damian: The home security's brand synonymous with its blue octagon logo, seen on front lawns and in windows across the United States, is turning 150 years old this August.[00:00:28] In all those years, ADT has seen its customers needs fluctuate, technology has given more power to individuals, and the inconsistent housing market is turning out more renters than owners.[00:00:40] Damian: Delu starts out by telling us what messaging the brand is leaning into as it reaches a new milestone [00:00:49] Ilyse: DeLu, ADT is celebrating its 150th birthday in August. That little blue hexagon basically has been known for a long time and signs in front of front [00:01:00] yards and windows across America.[00:01:02] How has the brand continued to evolve and how is the brand leaning into new messaging?[00:01:15] DeLu: you know, monumental 150th birthday. And for us, that's a really great testament as much to all the things we've accomplished in that 150 years. But more importantly, what it means for the next 150 years, because all of that's been driven by a consistent commitment to innovation, insecurity, safety and now even smart home.[00:01:38] So it's been the evolution of the definition of what it means to be safe, protected and connected. and for all of our history, we've been focused on making sure that we're the leader and providing that to our, customers. [00:01:54] Ilyse: and I understand there's even like a new campaign coming out soon? [00:01:57] DeLu: Oh, yeah. So part of this [00:02:00] innovation and this even history of it is recognizing that from our consumers always that, every second counts, right? That when we think about what we're doing, there's this tension between, living your life to the fullest[00:02:14] and having the opportunity to travel and do amazing things because the things that you care about are protected.[00:02:21] And so this idea that when every second counts, you can count on ADT and really always have is really exciting for us,[00:02:29] internally And externally. [00:02:31] It's such a Great manifestation of what we've always been and what we aspire to provide, going forward. [00:02:40] Ilyse: On that note, I remember even like five years ago I wrote a piece for Ad Age about how the brand underwent a marketing transformation to drive the message home that ADT is much more than a home security provider. With your smart home integration and your mobile security options for small and large businesses.[00:03:00][00:03:00] How has that, moved the needle forward. [00:03:02] What would you say is the perception of the brand today? [00:03:05] DeLu: say the perceptions continue to evolve and I'd say that the one great thing is that the foundational relevance of safety and security are still super high for so many consumers. It's what they need. And as the space has evolved to be more smart home and connected devices and, video and cameras, we've continued to provide that and customers are programming and our messaging have continued to reinforce that. with partnerships and with our continued platform innovation to provide those capabilities. So it's been a big part of our continued innovation and commitment to innovation for safety and security. [00:03:46] Damian: One of the things that's really interesting to me is your approach to ads in the campaigns that you launch. and I know that in 2023 switched from sort of more fearful or scary approach to a humorous [00:04:00] one. And I'm just wondering, you mentioned that tension between living your life to the fullest and also looking after things that matter.[00:04:06] Could you talk a little bit about that tension and how it informs [00:04:10] your[00:04:10] campaigns. [00:04:11] DeLu: I think it's really a really important one that we called the FUD or fear, uncertainty and doubt. And the YOLO, you only live once, and that's always been the tension that we see that the things that we protect customers from versus the things we protect them for. And we saw the insight that, That people really, lean into and get emotional about the things we protect them for.[00:04:40] And it really shows the value we create [00:04:42] when we demonstrate that, and we don't have to scare people to do that. We just need to demonstrate that we are really [00:04:49] there to take care of those things. And if we're there and in place taking care of those[00:04:53] things, then you can do some amazing things and live your life to the fullest.[00:04:57] And that's really, what our customers,[00:05:00] celebrate. And that's really [00:05:01] neat for us to know that we play a critical role[00:05:04] Damian: That's, that's fascinating. And do you have any sort of specific examples of how, customers have shared those things that ADT has afforded them, insight into their best lives [00:05:17] as it were.[00:05:18] DeLu: Oh, really fascinating is, [00:05:21] one of our big partners, looked on, just did web search and we looked at all of these great images of what people were doing with our signs in the background. So celebrating birthdays, celebrating my, first new business as an [00:05:36] entrepreneur, Celebrating graduations.[00:05:40] we had a video of a customer putting an alligator in a trash can in his front yard.[00:05:45] And that sign is there. [00:05:47] Sometimes it's in the background, sometimes it's in the forefront. But it's, been a part of all these big moments. and that's really interesting because it's just there and alive, out in the world every[00:06:00][00:06:00] Damian: Yeah. It's amazing. The power of that logo, actually, it's not something As prominent as, say, the Golden Arches. and at the same time, when you. think about it, it is ubiquitous. you see it everywhere, once you start [00:06:11] noticing it. [00:06:13] DeLu: like you said, if you go through neighborhoods and you start to really pay attention to it, you see how many places it's there, on a window, in a yard, on a business. [00:06:23] it is so iconic, and so [00:06:26] ever present.[00:06:27] Damian: Eilidh just mentioned that five years ago she was writing about ADT. And one thing that just occurred to me when she said that is in the last five years we've seen tech, undergo especially ad tech, undergo a kind of boom. And I'm interested to know how that has influenced the way you[00:06:44] approach your marketing,[00:06:47] DeLu: it really speaks to the omni channel nature of marketing. It's not one or the other, where our sales motion historically had been,[00:06:57] very much in the home,[00:06:59] [00:07:00] physical interactions and interactions with customers. The digital capabilities in terms of information presentation, information gathering, research, And even purchasing online and being able to buy online and even install it yourself.[00:07:15] All of that has transformed,[00:07:18] consumers engage with us even purchase. So we're present in all those channels now and make sure that we provide the right information based on the context of those channels. So it's been exciting, in terms of the different ways to reach consumers and connect with, their, evolving needs for safety[00:07:41] Ilyse: Speaking about your marketing, ADT has shifted from having an in house agency to now going back to an external partner. What basically inspired that shift back? [00:07:54] DeLu: Yeah, I'd say it's an evolution, right? So a few years ago had an opportunity to [00:08:00] hire a lot of great talent and bring them in house.[00:08:03] of build internal capabilities time we're really, leading capabilities as that continued to involve and partners start to bring new ideas. We started to add them to the roster[00:08:14] and for initiatives and projects. And as we move forward, they start to [00:08:18] bring bigger ideas and just through evolution and growth, our teams have added more of those back to our roster and expanded the team size. So now when you look up. it's more of an evolution than a revolution. We look up and we have a great internal team that drives certain capabilities. And then we've supplemented that With some leading partners just so that we can continue to innovate and deliver, on our customer expectations. [00:08:43] Ilyse: That is interesting. are there any specific channels that you perhaps are just increasing spend and time and effort on?[00:08:54] DeLu: Yeah, probably the one that's growing most is connected TV and streaming, you know, as more people go there, [00:09:00] but social is increasing as people consume more information YouTube, right? Those are continuing to grow because when we think about some people, when they purchase these types of solutions, they need more information.[00:09:12] And sometimes advertising creates interest, but we have to go other places to find, to make the purchase decision or find all the collective information. So I would say is as much, [00:09:22] communicating effectively as it is advertising and marketing. It's really the expansion of communicating effectively across all of those channels. I think that's a really[00:09:31] important distinction for us because we think about it as part of our communication strategy or go to market strategy, not simply what we would call marketing. It's more comprehensive. [00:09:42] Yeah, it makes a lot of sense that is your go to market strategy, though, tied to, in some ways, the health of the housing market, because presumably, you're looking to reach people who are buying homes, setting up homes. absolutely. people move, relocate or, [00:10:00] remodel homes, the[00:10:02] self improvement craze, all of those things, those are, moments that are identified where people make the decision to upgrade a system, add a system, upgrade a system, or reactivate a system. So we definitely, are very present in those activities, online and in physical, channels.[00:10:18] we've also seen things like, the growth in renters. So we have a, DIY or ADT self set up product. We also work in the multifamily space, where, more users, or builders and, property [00:10:31] managers can support the, units and the, renters in those units. Again, Different needs, different need states, and leading brands like ADT are providing more options for consumers to protect[00:10:45] Damian: That's interesting what you said about renters and the Renters leaning into using the self setup. you say a little bit more about that? What's the potential for that market right now? [00:11:00][00:11:06] DeLu: DIY solutions gives people the opportunity to, you Create more affordable solutions as well as they're portable, right? We can take them with me. and so, it's just part of the evolution of the nature of security, how technology has changed it and made it more accessible and more available to more people.[00:11:26] So it's not just when you're in a home you own, it's in, The home that's yours, or what you call home, and that expanded portfolio has allowed us to provide protection to more families, small businesses, and again, more people.[00:11:43] Ilyse: Now, when it comes to generational differences between homeowners and renters, how do you look at those different subsets of consumers and target to them effectively across channels? [00:11:58] DeLu: Interesting, because we look at the need state [00:12:00] and the use cases. We call them demand spaces. And really, it's sort of life stage and there's some key things, right?[00:12:07] How often do I relocate? Younger audiences tend to move more, right? Some even current[00:12:12] generations just move more in general than historically. Then you have more stable where people buy a place and they stay in a place a long time. They have slightly different characteristics. But interesting thing When you're in the business for 150 years, we've been through so many generations [00:12:28] of families who have started with us, grown up with us, grown old with us and pass it on to the [00:12:34] next generation. So that's again, really interesting dynamic that we've seen over all those [00:12:40] decades of presence, that those, those behaviors are really about life stage, affordability, and then. Portability and mobility, relative to those, generations. And so we look at all of those signals to provide solutions that work for consumers across those need states. [00:12:59] Damian: it's very interesting [00:13:00] that there's a sort of generational handing down of the brand. And I hadn't even considered that in, the context of security. [00:13:08] DeLu: We have so many people who would tell us that I grew up with it. was always there. And it was that, thing that I needed when I needed something, I knew to push the button, or I knew to call, or I knew how to set it, and I remember some of my first memories of setting it, when I'm home, or I'm watching a little brother or a cousin, and so it's a really fascinating, role it's played in so many lives for so and there's just many of those, insights [00:13:37] Ilyse: Now, how do you go about measuring the impacts of the campaign investments that you are making? [00:13:44] DeLu: Yeah, we use a number of but I think what's really interesting for our team is because we're a direct seller, we have the ability to measure, our investments right down to not just the sale, but to the installation.[00:13:57] we can look in time at all of our investments in [00:14:00] our media mix and understand when we invest, have something in or out, or we change campaign or content, What's the impact through the entire funnel?[00:14:09] And I'm fortunate to have a great team from advanced analytics to performance measurement that works together every day with our teams to literally measure that and look at the things that are happening and changing by the day over time. So we have a really interesting, rich body of insight to help us understand, the impact of every investment. [00:14:30] Ilyse: one thing with omni channel environments is that a lot of marketers are saying, basically, that with, like, CTV and, commerce, almost like the funnel is collapsing in a sense. what would you say to that? [00:14:44] DeLu: I would say it's less of a funnel than a little bit of an infinity loop, right? People are gathering information.[00:14:52] Pre, during, post, even after they purchase, they continue to gather information, reaffirm, and right, [00:15:00] optimize their choices. So I think it's really, it's not a funnel that kind of goes to the bottom and people stop.[00:15:07] I think people just continue to, consume information and insights. so I think we kind of have to be always on and again, omnipresent to meet those[00:15:18] Damian: And speaking of omnipresent and this is a bit of a pivot, but I know you partnered last year with, Miami Marlins in a multi year deal. I'm curious to hear from you, On why sports sponsorships are part of your strategy. [00:15:32] DeLu: Yeah, this was a really exciting one for us. And part of it was, beyond just sports sponsorships. This was the first time that they were doing, branded, advertising on major league baseball uniforms. What we liked about it was the context. And if you go to the stadium, you'll see when you're around third base, it says, Safe at Home.[00:15:52] And when they score a run, it lights up and it says safe at home brought so really neat, right? Some people were thinking it was [00:16:00] really about impressions, right? How much visibility will the, brand visible? That's a really important one. But what we saw was this great context, safe at home.[00:16:10] It's also a great family venue. It's great for employees. It's great for, And by the way, they play 81 games at home and 81 games on the road. So the brand travels. and then lastly, I would say really cool with the partnership, beyond the community work we do and the development of, of our philanthropy and, giving kids safe places and safe spaces to, grow up and learn sports and develop.[00:16:36] we also, have the patches on both arms. So when you look at visibility, it's visible for most of the game, because if you're, a right handed batter, it's on the left sleeve. And if it's on the left hand, it's on the right sleeve. Same with the pictures so that the brand is ever present. And finally, I'd say what I loved about it is, as in the stands or on the road talk about it, they [00:17:00] knew the context.[00:17:01] They said, well, they must need extra protection. And it's like, they understand context in which we operate. And I really love that is that it wasn't just a brand that was there. It was a brand that made sense being there.[00:17:17] what was really great about that. I love building on that is that when we think about media and the concept of media, this was a big part of it. we use comparisons to what are the number of impressions, media impressions and back to context, contextual delivery of our messaging with these partnerships and each of them gave us the opportunity to get, a large amounts of media and visibility for the brand in a very specific context that reinforces the things that we want to home or safety [00:18:00] help communities stay safe and these are So when you look at that from a pure media perspective, live sports. And sports in general have, broad reach audiences. they have sequentially different audiences based on events and locations. And so give us a lot of great reach, uh, and in some cases great frequency, as I described with, baseball and, on the road.[00:18:25] We also look at the media markets. Where do they play? You know, so really interesting when you think about it in the context of media versus just, as an event, impressions. worked environments. of [00:19:00] Sure. it really is the evolution you described I caught the tail of the digital revolution, if you will, in marketing. Where as technology started to transform the way we go to market, thought about consumers, thought about the paces which we operate. and the convergence of technology and what we call traditional marketing, right?[00:19:31] Digital used to be a unique thing that's set between IT and marketing. And then, as you said, they continue to converge in terms of the way consumers engage with those spaces. So then the teams started to come together. And I've been fortunate to have opportunities to work across those different disciplines And bring those things together for organizations who were going through those transformations and help individuals of all help teams of all and help organizations evolve to [00:20:00] bring those things together.[00:20:01] So my career has been one of sort of the brands you mentioned. amazing organization transformations around the world and really been, an exciting time to be part of marketing.
