Getting press can feel like a lucky break until you hear how Annabel Love and her co-founder built a repeatable strategy behind it. In this episode of Dear FoundHer, Annabel shares how a dorm room hair-straightener hack became Nori, an eight-figure, profitable brand now sold nationwide at Target. This is a must-listen for women founders who want a clearer playbook for building visibility, earning trust, and turning attention into revenue.Annabel walks Lindsay through the early, scrappy days of the company, including customer discovery in the real world, focus groups, and building a product with zero hardware background. You'll hear what it took to go from idea to manufacturing, then into a go-to-market plan that included Meta ads, influencer partnerships, and getting press that actually moved product. Annabel breaks down how they approached press opportunities like Oprah's Favorite Things and The Today Show, plus how they repurposed those wins across paid ads, their website, and customer acquisition.This conversation also covers growing an audience before launch, choosing the right agency partners, and why a lean team can be an advantage when managing rapid growth. Annabel shares how Nori expanded from DTC into retailers like Nordstrom, Bloomingdale's, and Target, and what changed operationally once mass retail entered the picture. If you are one of the many female entrepreneurs trying to scale without burning cash or building a bloated org chart, you will walk away with concrete lessons you can apply right away.Episode Breakdown:00:01 Nori Founder Story: From Dorm Room Idea to Eight-Figure Brand03:24 Launching a Hardware Startup Without Engineering Experience07:05 Customer Research and Product Validation Strategy09:32 Direct-to-Consumer Go-To-Market Plan11:54 Meta Ads, Influencer Marketing, and Getting Press13:52 Retail Expansion: Nordstrom, Bloomingdale's, and Target16:10 Fundraising and Profitability in a Consumer Brand22:18 Scaling to $20 Million With a Lean Team28:46 The Today Show Impact on Sales Growth31:14 Advice for Women Starting a BusinessConnect with Annabel Love:Follow Annabel Love on InstagramFollow Nori on InstagramSubscribe to The Foundher Files: http://foundherfiles.substack.comFollow Dear FoundHer... on Instagram http://www.instagram.com/dearfoundherPodcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm Hosted on Acast.

“This is not an offensive play. It's a defensive play. It's a must win.”That's how Sheldon Kimber describes AI for companies like Google.If your business depends on organizing and serving information, AI isn't optional. It's existential.And if AI is existential, power becomes strategic.In this conversation — recorded before Google's acquisition of Intersect Power — Sheldon lays out the durable thesis that led here:The U.S. grid isn't collapsing.It just can't scale.Transmission is stalled.Business models are misaligned.Permitting reform won't arrive in time.So instead of waiting for the grid to be fixed, Intersect built around it.Gigawatt-scale co-location.Wind, solar, batteries.Flexible gas.Control systems designed to act as one asset.The result? A hybrid solution that can deliver four-nines reliability - potentially more reliable than the grid itself.This isn't about chasing incentives.It's about building a better product.In this episode:
David Rothstein is the CEO and Co-founder of Newsmatics, a next-generation news technology company dedicated to transforming the way organizations collect, analyze, and distribute information. Under his leadership, Newsmatics has grown to 70 employees and launched products like EIN Presswire, which processes 175,000 press releases annually, and Perspectify, a media bias tool. David's career spans from pioneering internet publishing in 1990s Prague to building a network of 3,900 news sites and partnering with universities on innovation hackathons. He is passionate about using technology to promote transparency, combat misinformation, and help people navigate today's news landscape. In this episode… What does it take for a news technology company to survive three decades of disruption and still lead in the age of AI? From the early days of the internet to today's data-driven landscape, the rules of media have constantly changed. How do you stay relevant while the entire industry reinvents itself? David Rothstein, a pioneer in digital publishing and news technology, explains that longevity comes from listening obsessively to the market and evolving before you are forced to. He highlights the importance of shifting business models — from advertising to subscriptions to self-serve DaaS press release distribution — based on real customer demand. That adaptability allowed the company to remain independent and consistently profitable. By leveraging a massive news index, his team expanded into affinity publishing and media bias detection tools, pairing distribution with transparency. He also emphasizes building talent from within and partnering with universities through hackathons to fuel continuous innovation. In this episode of the Inspired Insider Podcast, Dr. Jeremy Weisz sits down with David Rothstein, CEO and Co-founder of Newsmatics, to discuss transforming news delivery in an AI-driven world. They explore bootstrapping through the dot-com crash, pioneering self-serve DaaS press release models, and building tools that detect media bias and propaganda. David also shares insights on fostering internal talent and staying profitable while scaling innovation.
My God's Been Silent (Writ Large Press, 2026) is a poetry collection that lives at the intersection of faith and fury, grief and grace. Written in the aftermath of loss and disillusionment, these poems are elegies and incantations-each one a plea, a protest, a prayer left unanswered. This collection excavates the silence of God through the body of a Black man who has known both sanctuary and abandonment, who has tried to make sense of suffering in a world that too often turns its back This is a book for those who have screamed into the void, for those who carry loss like scripture, and for anyone who has ever felt betrayed by the very thing they were taught to believe would save them. With language that sears and softens, My God's Been Silent does not seek resolution-it seeks release. This collection is not an answer. It is a reckoning. A remembering. A return.

Bonding leave sounds straightforward: an employee has a baby, takes time off, and returns to work. But Sarah Piscatelli and Mary McNally from AIM HR Solutions know that the space between a well-intentioned law and its practical implementation is where almost every employer gets stuck. Not because the law is unclear, but because making it work requires navigating overlapping state and federal regulations, measurement periods that don't align, and scenarios the drafters probably didn't anticipate.In this episode, Pete talks with Sarah and Mary about why bonding leave has become one of the most frequently used and most frequently misunderstood benefits in Massachusetts HR. They explore how 12 weeks of bonding leave can combine with medical leave to reach 26 weeks total, how that coordinates (or doesn't) with FMLA and an older state parental leave law still on the books, and what happens when both parents work for the same company or when an employee wants to take leave intermittently rather than all at once. They discuss why there's no standardization in how doctors approve medical recovery time, why taking a vacation during bonding leave isn't fraud, and why a benefit designed to support families requires HR professionals to operate as project managers just to keep everything compliant.Press play to discover why something that sounds simple becomes intricate the moment you try to implement it—and what it takes to get it right.AIM members can reach the HR Helpline at 800-470-6277 or helpline@aimnet.org for inquiries Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. (EST).

On this special episode of The Nikki & Brie Show, Brie sits down with environmentalist, author, and activist Leah Thomas (aka @greengirlleah) for a heartfelt conversation about caring for the planet in a way that centers people. What first drew Brie to Leah was her soft, joyful approach to sustainability; educating without shame and action rooted in love. Together, they explore how environmentalism isn't just about trees and carbon footprints, but about clean water, safe communities, and making sure everyone has access to a healthy place to live.Leah shares how her journey began with a love for animals and evolved into a powerful mission of intersectional environmentalism and the belief that we can't protect the planet without also protecting marginalized communities. The two dive into climate anxiety, sustainable fashion, crafting with kids, and how small, realistic steps at home can create meaningful change. It's honest, grounding, and deeply inspiring.This episode is a reminder that we are not separate from nature, we are part of it. Healing the Earth starts with how we treat each other, our neighborhoods, and ourselves.

Pastor Miguel Calderon challenges us to close the gap between the compassion we receive from God and the compassion we extend to others in "The Compassion Challenge".

Send a textLove shows up in candy aisles, awkward expectations, and the checkout line—with a side of sticker shock—so we dig into the real question: do you still buy Valentines for your kids, even when they're grown? Our table splits, and that sparks a bigger conversation about what Valentine's Day really measures: affection, effort, or how well you dodge commercialization without sounding like a grinch. We talk thoughtful ideas that land, gifts that flop, and why recycled intimacy doesn't count as a present.The ride swerves into real life: Girl Scouts turned tap-to-pay pros, Walmart locking up basics, and fundraiser candy that shrank while prices climbed. Then we jump from aisles to arenas with a brush-by of Lady Gaga's team and a peek at the machine behind major tours—sealed phones, tight rehearsal windows, and camera crews moonlighting from the Super Bowl and Taylor Swift's juggernaut. We stack ticket prices across Gaga, WrestleMania, and smaller venues like Lupe Fiasco's anniversary show to find the sweet spot between spectacle and sanity. Pro tip: presales and intimate rooms often deliver bigger memories than nosebleeds at eight times the price.Because culture is also under the hood, we clash over EV trucks vs gas—range anxiety vs torque joy, generators on wheels vs the ritual of the pump—and admit some new designs finally look clean enough to sway skeptics. And since every great debate needs fuel, we put local spots on notice about gizzards, smothered chicken, and what “simmered right” actually means. It's messy, loud, and honest, with a stack of movie and TV picks to close your night: The Bear for kitchen heat, a tight six-episode His & Hers binge, and a few upcoming thrillers to circle on your calendar.Press play for jokes with bite, practical ideas you can steal, and a reminder to make Valentine's Day mean something real—especially for the people who don't usually get the gifts. If this made you laugh or think, follow the show, share it with a friend, and drop your best Valentine's win or fail in a review.Thanks for listening to the Nobody's Talking Podcast.

This episode features a conversation with the founding members of the Feminist Critical Hindu Studies Collective, also known as the Auntylectuals. We began with each of them reflecting on their pathway into Hindu Studies and how the questions of caste and gender shaped their approaches to this field. We then discussed their motivations for starting the collective and what interventions they hoped to make through it. This took us deeper into some thorny topics: caste as a form of embodied knowledge that is often accompanied by the denial of its continued social power; the politics of Hinduism in North America where Hindus are both predominantly upper caste and a racial minority; the relationship between Hinduism and Hindutva, or Hindu nationalism; the traffic in language and tactics between Hindutva and Zionism; and the efforts to push back against the movement to make caste a protected category in U.S. anti-discrimination law.

If your income feels harder than it should be, this isn't about needing a new strategy. It's about how you're leading. In this episode, I'm sharing the behind-the-scenes CEO behaviours that quietly drive consistent revenue — the habits most business owners avoid because they require focus, discipline and long-term thinking. We're talking about what shifts when you stop operating reactively… When you prioritise sales before stress hits… When you lead from data instead of emotion… And when you make decisions from the business you're building — not the month you're in. Behind almost every income plateau is a focus issue. You don't earn more by doing more. You earn more by leading differently. Press play if you're ready to step into that version of you.

It's one of the most common public speaking myths I hear—especially from values-driven speakers, coaches, and creatives who genuinely care about impact.In this episode of the Public Speaking Myths Series, we're unpacking the belief that visibility is a selfish act and reframing what it actually means to be seen, heard, and paid for your work.We'll explore:The public speaking myth that keeps so many people playing smallThe difference between internal impact (how it benefits you) and external impact (who it serves)How to grow your brand through your values and your mission—not ego or performanceWhy your values should act as a guiding compass for every speaking and business decisionHow visibility and sales can be an act of serviceIf you've ever felt guilty about promoting yourself, sharing your work, or wanting to be seen—this episode is an invitation to reframe visibility as leadership, responsibility, and care.

Comment on the Show by Sending Mark a Text Message.“Terminated for cause” sounds like a career-ending verdict, but we pull back the curtain on what the label really means, why companies use it, and how you can fight back without burning bridges. Mark Caring walks through the legal standard for cause—willful misconduct, not mere underperformance—and shows how employers often stretch minor missteps into moral failures to dodge severance and unemployment costs. By separating performance from misconduct, you'll see where your leverage starts.We break down real-world examples that distinguish a missed quota from embezzlement, then map the tactics organizations use to turn small policy slips into big accusations. From rushed investigations to uneven rule enforcement, the cracks usually appear when you ask for your personnel file, compare treatment across colleagues, and line up the policy text with what actually happened. The burden of proof sits with the employer, and when they can't meet it, their case—and their confidence—fades.From there, we get practical. You'll hear a clear survival checklist: don't sign admissions on the spot, demand your records where state law allows, document inconsistencies, and get an employment lawyer to test the company's “cause” narrative. We outline how to negotiate from strength by challenging the validity of the determination, quantifying the cost of a fight, and proposing a clean resolution: severance, benefits continuation, mutual non-disparagement, and neutral or positive verification language. Often, that “for cause” label can be traded for cash and a resignation or reduction-in-force entry in your file—protecting your reputation while bridging to your next role.If you're staring at a cold conference room or a tense Zoom, take a breath. The label is a starting position, not a final judgment. Press play to learn how to turn panic into process, rebuild leverage with facts, and secure the outcome you deserve.

Airbnb rates in Christchurch have fallen for the first time in five years, as hosts flood the market before the new stadium opens. The Press reports average short-term rental income dropped to $105 a night last year - down $2 annually. Construction market analyst Mike Blackburn says multi-unit builds are dominating the city, with some apartments just 39 square metres with no carpark. "These are units that are part of 20 or 30 units in a block, and they're specifically being built and being marketed and sold as Airbnb units."

We're diving into the claustrophobic and intense world of Wasteman, the debut feature from director Calum Macdiarmid. David Jonsson (who you'll recognise from Alien: Romulus) delivers a stunning, restrained performance as Taylor, a man desperately trying to keep his head down and secure his parole.But when his new cellmate, the volatile Dee (Tom Blyth), drags him into a vicious prison power struggle, Taylor's future is thrown into jeopardy. It's 90 minutes of pure, high-stakes tension that'll leave you breathless.Fun Flix Fact: To keep things authentic, the film was shot at Shepton Mallet Prison in Somerset. It's the oldest operating prison in the UK (dating back to 1610!) before it closed in 2013. The cast and crew reportedly felt the "heavy" atmosphere of the real-life cells during filming, which definitely translates to the screen!To tie into our prison theme, we're looking back 10 years at Ava DuVernay's masterpiece, 13th. This powerhouse documentary explores the history of racial inequality and the "prison-industrial complex" in the United States. A decade later, its message remains as piercing and urgent as ever.Fun Flix Fact: Talk about making history—13th was the first-ever documentary to open the New York Film Festival! It was produced in total secrecy, and the film world only found out it even existed when the festival programme was announced.And if that's not enough entertainment for you, we've even thrown in new trailers to watch and what you can catch on streaming.

Do people ask you to repeat yourself in English? The problem probably isn't your accent. It's clarity. In this episode, you'll learn 10 powerful pronunciation fixes that will instantly make your English clearer, smoother, and easier to understand — without trying to sound American or British. You'll practice: • Linking sounds in connected speech • The American flap T sound (why "what are you" sounds like "whaddaya") • Soft final T pronunciation • Natural contractions like should've, would've, they'll, and I'd like to • Professional vs casual pronunciation differences • Tongue twisters for articulation • Word stress in advanced vocabulary like phenomenal and unprecedented • Common native phrases used in everyday conversation This episode is perfect for intermediate to advanced English learners who want to improve spoken English, sound more natural, and build confidence in real conversations. Press play, repeat out loud, and train your mouth to move like a native speaker. Clarity builds confidence. Confidence builds fluency. Let's practice.
Judging production design means considering not just what we see, but how an entire world was constructed to function on screen. This week on Below the Line, Skid is joined by Bob Shaw (Production Designer), Regina Graves (Set Decorator), and Kerry Weeks (Leadman) to examine the nominees for Achievement in Production Design at the 98th Academy Awards. Representing three distinct roles within the art department, they offer a grounded, practical look at how these films constructed their environments — from large-scale builds to the smallest graphic detail. As with the rest of this year's Oscar series, the conversation is available both as an audio podcast and as a full video episode on YouTube. Our discussion ranges across: The operatic scale and extensive builds of Frankenstein, from castle interiors to laboratory design — and whether grandeur ultimately serves or overwhelms the story The period authenticity of Hamnet, including the recreation of Shakespeare's Globe and the delicate balance between research and creative interpretation The layered Lower East Side streets of Marty Supreme, where signage, storefront graphics, and textural detail quietly anchor a frenetic narrative The cohesive, character-driven environments of One Battle After Another, where homes, dojos, and lived-in interiors feel organic rather than theatrical The tonal shift in Sinners, and the ongoing challenge of aging sets just enough — especially when audience expectations of “period” don't always align with historical reality How decisions about wear, grit, and cleanliness can subtly shape credibility without drawing attention to themselves Why contemporary or less “showy” films like Black Bag are often overlooked despite meticulous design work Additional standouts from the year, including Train Dreams and Song Sung Blue, which demonstrate how tonal precision and environmental detail can carry as much weight as larger-scale builds Across the conversation, the three perspectives reveal how production design succeeds not only through bold visual statements, but through coordination — between design, dressing, graphics, lighting, and performance — so that nothing feels isolated from the world of the film.
The episode where Lindsey shares an unsolved true crime (yay!) and we find our enneagram kitchen utensils. We needed to know. This is the story of the Jamison family who disappeared in Oklahoma in 2009.

What does it really take to build a successful novel? Kate Broad discusses leaving her romance author career to write literary fiction and how her debut novel, Greenwich, required multiple drafts and rewrites. She shares what it's like to scrap early drafts, rebuild the story from the ground up, write complex characters that are hard to like, and what she tells herself when the writing feels hard. If you need a reminder that your first draft can become something magical, that struggling is just part of the work and process of bringing a novel to fruition, and that you're not doing anything wrong, you'll enjoy our conversation.

In March of 2015, Denise Huskins was kidnapped, drugged, sexually assaulted, and held for 48 hours. When she was released, police called it a hoax and demanded that she apologize for wasting resources. The media dubbed it the "Gone Girl" case and death threats started flooding in. Except it wasn't a hoax at all. It was a Harvard-educated serial rapist named Matthew Muller who'd been terrorizing California for years. In this episode, we'll go through the kidnapping, the police misconduct that revictimized the survivors, Detective Misty Carausu's brilliant investigative work that finally caught Muller, and how Denise and Aaron turned trauma into national advocacy. From victims to suspects to survivors...their story changed how law enforcement handles sexual assault cases across America.For Survivors of Sexual Violence:- RAINN National Sexual Assault Hotline: 1-800-656-HOPE (4673)- RAINN Online Chat:https://hotline.rainn.org/online- Crisis Text Line: Text HOME to 741741- National Sexual Violence Resource Center:https://www.nsvrc.org/For Victims of Police Misconduct:- ACLU:https://www.aclu.org/- National Police Accountability Project:https://www.nlg-npap.org/- Innocence Project:https://innocenceproject.org/Mental Health Support:- National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 988- SAMHSA National Helpline: 1-800-662-4357- Psychology Today Therapist Finder:https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapistsSources:San Francisco Chronicle (Henry K.
