We'd love to have your feedback and ideas for future episodes of Retail Unwrapped. Just text us!AI search is growing at over 300 percent while traditional browser search is declining. Most retailers and brands are completely unprepared for what that means for their search visibility. Join Shelley and Heather Holmes, Founder of Publicity for Good, as they unpack how brands need to think like their customers and understand how they use agentic search engines including ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. Key signals: Consumers are bypassing a brand website, asking AI for recommendations and going directly to purchase. Over 90 percent of what AI surfaces in search results comes from earned media, not paid advertising; brands cannot buy their way to the top of an AI search result. And credibility through legitimate reviews, third-party features, directory listings, and high-domain-authority publications all influence how AI ranks a brand. Listen and learn how to figure out this complex AI paradigm.Special Guest: Heather Holmes, Founder of Publicity for Good For more strategic insights and compelling content, visit TheRobinReport.com, where you can read, watch, and listen to content from Robin Lewis and other retail industry experts, and be sure to follow us on LinkedIn and Twitter.

260612PC Die Infantino-Trump-SpieleMensch Mahler am 12.06.2026Eigentlich bin ich froh, dass Deutschland in Russland und Katar nicht weit gekommen ist. Ich wäre ohnehin dafür gewesen, die WM zu boykottieren, wenn sie in Ländern durchgeführt wird, die die Menschenrechte mit Füßen treten und wie 1936 Adolf Hitler Sportgrossereigenisse für die Publicity von Diktatoren nutzen. In Russland: Deutschland scheidet blamabel als letzter in der Vorrunde aus. Auch in Katar überstand das DFB-Team die Vorrunde nicht. Proteste im Vorfeld und während des Turniers wurden belächelt, deutsche Spieler, die die Eier hatten, auch während des Turniers ihren Prostest gegen die gekauften Spiele auszudrücken, wurden vom DFB und der FIFA abgemahnt. Dass es seit gestern Abend alles noch viel schlimmer kommt, war vorauszusehen. 11 Milliarden Dollar an Einnahmen erwartet die FIFA, und sie liebäugelt mit einem Reingewinn von 3-4 Milliarden. Die Veranstaltung ist voll amerikanisiert – mit Trinkpausen für die Spieler, die eigentlich Werbepausen für die Sponsoren sind. Die ziemlich besten Freunde Trump und Infantino nutzen die Bühne für ihre widerlichen moralisch verwerflichen Doppelpässe. Nachdem Trump vor Wut schäumte, dass er den Friedensnobelpreis nicht bekommen hat, verlieh ihm Infantino kurzerhand einen sogenannten Fifa-Friedenspreis. Der Rest in Schlagzeilen:- Trump droht Mitausrichter Kanada nach wie vor mit Annexion als 51. Bundesstaat- Die Mauer zu Mexiko – ebenfalls Gastgeberland soll nach wie vor gebaut werden. - Die qualifizierten Kicker des Iran mussten auf Geheiß von Donald Trump von Arizona nach Mexiko umziehen. - Es gibt Einreiseverbote für Funktionäre und Fans aus Somalia, dem Iran, Haiti, Senegal und der Elfenbeinküste. - Anhänger aus lateinamerikanischen Staaten müssen damit rechnen, mit der Abschiebepolizei ICE unliebsame Bekanntschaft zu machen. Die zynische Krönung des Ganzen: Am 14. Juni, dem Tag des ersten deutschen Gruppenspiels finden im Beisein Trumps widerliche Käfigkämpfe direkt vor dem weißen Haus statt. Die FIFA braucht einen Neuanfang. Wenn sie den Fußball nicht vollends kaputtmachen will. Weg mit Infantino und seinen Spießgesellen. Keine WM mehr in Ländern, die massiv gegen Menschenrechte und das Völkerrecht verstoßen. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In the world of music, many of the albums produced are backed by record labels. In the Blues, we have Alligator, Blind Pig, Delmark, Ruf, Malaco and a few others. Each of these labels depend upon the skills of their publicists and radio promoters to help get word of each new artist and their respective albums out to the masses. Kevin Johnson has worked with the Delmark label for years, and he also works with the non-profit label, Little Village Foundation. Additionally, Kevin has work of his own, via Proud Papa Promotions and Publicity, and he is our featured guest this week on Time Signatures. Were it not for PR guys like Kevin, Matt LaFollette, Amy Brat, Jon Bleicher, and a few others, Time Signatures would not be in a position to bring you many of today's Blues Artists.

What does it actually take to partner with Microsoft, Google, or Amazon — and turn that relationship into real revenue? In this episode, Jeff Mains sits down with Chaitra Vedullapalli, co-founder of Women in Cloud and pioneer of the Co-Launch 4P Framework. Chaitra spent nearly 27 years inside corporate giants like Oracle and Microsoft before stepping out to build a global economic access movement that has unlocked over $600 million for founders across 120 countries.She breaks down exactly why most SaaS founders get ignored by hyperscalers (hint: it's a mindset problem), how to align your go-to-market to their priorities instead of your own, and the practical framework she uses to drive visibility, demand, and partnerships at scale. You'll also learn the critical difference between a gateway offer and a core revenue offer — and why confusing the two is silently killing your pipeline.If you're building a SaaS or AI product and want to stop feeling invisible to enterprise giants, this episode is your roadmap.Key Takeaways4:17 — **The brutal truth about hyperscaler ecosystems.** Billions in multi-year cloud commitments are happening inside the Big Three, and most founders don't even know these opportunities exist. Hyperscalers aren't waiting for you — they're waiting for founders who want to co-launch with them.5:24 — **Why founders get ignored.** Founders enter hyperscaler ecosystems with a founder-led, "me-first" sales mindset — but hyperscalers want partners who can attract customers, build unique IP on their platforms, and co-own go-to-market.8:22 — **Origin of Women in Cloud.** Written on a napkin with a goal to democratize $1 billion in economic access, Women in Cloud has grown into a 150,000-member distribution engine across 120 countries, with $600M already unlocked.19:14 — **What being "in the hyperscaler channel" actually looks like.** It's not just listing your product on a marketplace. True channel presence means co-presenting at events, appearing in joint press releases, getting amplified through their marketing, and executing inside *their* rhythm — not yours.22:29 — **The Co-Launch 4P Framework explained.** Product offer, Promotion, Publicity, and Partnership — and how the EmpowerHer 50 campaign used all four to generate 10 million impressions and unlock $1M in AI scholarships through Microsoft.27:21 — **How to access the hyperscaler calendar.** Join their ISV or founder partner program — the full calendar of AI tours, product launches, and summits is available. Use it to architect your campaign around their priorities, not yours.28:07 — **Gateway offer vs. core offer.** Every founder needs two offers: a gateway offer (free, educational, easy to join — builds visibility and trust) and a core revenue offer (paid transformation — what hyperscalers ultimately care about).33:32 — **How leadership evolves from corporate to founder.** In corporate, someone sets the paradigm shift for you. As a founder, you *are* the paradigm shift. Chaitra shares how she learned to set direction, communicate vision, and lead through ambiguity.37:03 — **Why you have more leverage than you think.** You're not a small fish asking a favor. Your SaaS product drives cloud consumption revenue for hyperscalers. You bring them customers, solutions for their field sellers, and ecosystem diversity — all at once.41:55 — **The one thing to do today.** Learn the language before you knock the door. Replace "sponsorship ask" with "co-investment." Say co-build, co-sell, co-launch — and build something so indispensable they come to *you*.Tweetable Quotes"Hyperscalers are not waiting for founders. They are waiting for founders who want to co-launch their go-to-market with them." — Chaitra Vedullapalli"Being in the hyperscaler channel is not a status. It's an activity. It requires you showing up, staying aligned, and executing inside their rhythm — not your rhythm." — Chaitra Vedullapalli"You don't want to ask them to dance. You have to build something worth dancing with — and make it impossible for them to refuse." — Chaitra Vedullapalli"Stop thinking of yourself as a small fish asking a big fish to help. You are a revenue opportunity, a solution asset, and an ecosystem story — all at once." — Chaitra Vedullapalli"Before you try to dance with the giant, learn the steps they already know." — Chaitra Vedullapalli"If you don't have the 'co' in front of your language, you usually won't survive in the hyperscaler ecosystem." — Chaitra Vedullapalli"Community is underrated — but even in community, you need micro cohorts doing the same thing together." — Chaitra VedullapalliSaaS Leadership Lessons1. Shift from "Me" to "We" — or Stay Invisible Most founders enter hyperscaler ecosystems with a solo founder mindset. Hyperscalers require a "we" mindset: collaboration with their teams, alignment to their goals, and co-ownership of outcomes. The shift isn't optional — it's the price of entry.2. You Have More Leverage Than You Think Your SaaS product drives cloud consumption revenue for Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud. Your vertical solution fills gaps their field sellers can't. You're not asking for a favor — you're bringing them customers, solutions, and ecosystem narrative. Negotiate accordingly.3. Every Go-to-Market Needs Two Offers Build a gateway offer (free, educational, easy to join) that creates demand and visibility, and a separate core revenue offer (paid transformation) that closes. Confusing the two — or having only one — will stall your pipeline before it starts.4. Execute Inside Their Rhythm, Not Yours Join the partner program. Study the hyperscaler's quarterly calendar. Align your campaign architecture to their AI tours, announcements, and field priorities. The companies that win aren't shouting louder — they're speaking through the megaphones the hyperscalers already control.5. Use the ODA Loop When Things Break Down Observe what's actually happening in the market. Orient your team to the new reality. Decide with clarity. Act with precision. When geopolitical shifts, funding droughts, or market pivots hit, this framework prevents panic and keeps momentum.6. Founders Must Set the Paradigm Shift In corporate, leadership defines the vision for you. As a founder, you are the vision. Developing the ability to articulate a compelling paradigm shift — and galvanize collective action around it — is the single most critical leadership skill to build.Guest Resourcescvedulla@womenincloud.comhttps://womenincloud.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/chaitrav/Episode SponsorThe Futureproof Series - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfkXKUPZ5xuOqMPR7_gzGybncTtavyR1NThe Captain's KeysSmall Fish, Big Pond – https://smallfishbigpond.com/ Use the promo code ‘SaaSFuel'Champion Leadership Group – https://championleadership.com/SaaS Fuel ResourcesWebsite - https://championleadership.com/Jeff Mains on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffkmains/Twitter - https://twitter.com/jeffkmainsFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/thesaasguy/Instagram - https://instagram.com/jeffkmains

In an interview with China Africa Talk, Zimbabwe's Minister of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services, Zhemu Soda, shared his views on strengthening China-Africa storytelling, Zimbabwe's expectations for China's zero-tariff policy for African countries, and how Zimbabwe hopes to learn from China's development experience as it advances its Vision 2030 agenda.

*Please forgive my echoey audio in this episode! I had cleared out my office to move, and it was - well - echoey.*Vale Siegrist won a year of Public Relations work from Publicity for Good, who has been sending some pretty great podcast guests my way lately! I was watching their contest, so curious to see who won - and while talking with Vale, she let me know it was her!Vale started Circular Mom Club after struggling post partum. One day she sent a  photo of her newborn in a cute outfit she had bought to some family and friends, and got very encouraging responses. Dressing her daughter up made her feel good, so she began buying outfits - and her daughter grew out of them quickly, of course. Vale couldn't justify continuing to buy new, and didn't want to buy super cheap and contribute to the textile waste problem, so she developed Circular Mom Club, to keep perfectly fine, cute clothes in rotation. Circular Mom Club memberships start at $29, including 5 pieces/month. I asked about clothing swaps, and her answer made so much sense after hearing her story: you don't get to choose, really, with a swap. Choice is something that has come up in several conversations I've had lately  - especially in the economy we're living in. When things are expensive, and we're told quality is better for us, but it's hard to afford - choice feels out of reach. We talked a lot about eco-guilt and guilt in general, as a parent and human.  The guilt conversation is so real, and I really appreciate Vale's vulnerability, and, of course, it fueled her need to do things right. She has really thought of everything in her planning, including gift cards, so if a parent is on the fence, maybe a family member or friend could get the process started...As someone who doesn't have children, I'm totally sold on the value of Circular Mom Club, and am so glad to have been Vale's first podcast interview, to learn all about this!You can check out the website here: https://circularmomclub.com/They're on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/circular___club/They're on TikTok here: Send me a message!Support the showLike this episode?

One should strive to perform Misvot humbly and discreetly, without publicizing the religious act or making a spectacle of himself. In fact, the greatest Sadikim are "Sadikim Nistarim" – "concealed" Sadikim whose piety is not discernible, whom people view as ordinary laymen. There is great value to Misvot fulfilled in private, without anyone knowing about it. Conversely, the Rabbis of Mussar warn of the severity of performing Misvot for the sake of impressing people and drawing attention to oneself. Based on the comments of the Hobot Ha'lebabot (Rabbenu Bahya Ibn Pakuda, Spain, d. 1120), they warn that performing Misvot for publicity could be even graver than idol-worship. When a person performs a Misva to earn people's admiration, then he is serving himself, not G-d – and this is a grievous sin akin to idolatry. We must always remember that the objective of Misvot is to bring glory and honor to Hashem, and not to bring glory and honor to oneself. Some Rabbis taught that when a person receives praise and compliments for a Misva which he performed, then Hashem sends angels to bring his reward, instead of rewarding him directly. The angels delivering the reward are exposed to the risk of sabotage by the prosecuting angels who deny the individual's worthiness, and so the reward is not certain to materialize. By contrast, people who fulfill Misvot in an invisible manner, hidden from view, become "invisible" to the prosecuting angels, and cannot be harmed by them. Indeed, there are stories of "hidden" Sadikim, who kept their piety secret, and actually became invisible, unseen by those who were trying to harm them. The Hida (Rav Haim Yosef David Azulai, 1724-1806) writes that if a person receives praise for a Misva or for his good qualities, he should immediately remind himself that he has yet to accomplish even a fraction of what he is meant to accomplish. He should recognize, first and foremost, that a lot of the praise people give is false flattery, spoken to earn his favor. And even if it was spoken sincerely, he should remember that he has so much more to do. Even Abraham Abinu, as great as he was, said about himself, "I am but dust and ash" (Bereshit 18:27). King Shlomo teaches us in Mishleh (27:2), "Yehalelucha Zar, Ve'lo Picha" – "Let others praise you, but not your mouth." Even if other people give us praise, we should refrain from giving ourselves praise, and should instead humbly acknowledge our imperfections and how much better we can be. Unfortunately, in our day and age, people expect their good deeds to be noticed and praised, instead of feeling content knowing that they did a Misva. The desire for attention and compliments calls the person's sincerity into question, and could undermine the value of the Misva which he performed. If a person takes upon himself a fast, for example, he should keep it private and not tell anyone about it. A fascinating story is told of Rav Yaakob Kuli (Turkey, d. 1732) who decided to observe a three-day fast, for a full 72 hours. Toward the very end of the fast, with only about one hour left, he was with somebody who was drinking coffee and offered him some. Rav Yaakob agreed to drink the coffee, breaking his fast which he had nearly completed, in order not to disclose his piety. If a person wishes to accept upon himself a certain stringency, he must try to conceal it. People often use stringency as a way to showcase themselves, to put themselves on display, to make themselves appear more religiously committed than others. This undermines the value of an otherwise admirable religious practice. It is also not uncommon for people to use stringencies as a way of "upstaging" their Rabbi, of pretending that they are more devout than he is. They choose to observe a certain stringency that he does not observe and then make a point of telling him about it, thus presenting themselves as more religious. This is not only very disrespectful, but also the diametric opposite of the kind of humility and sincerity with which Misvot are to be performed. The Mishna in Pirkeh Abot (1:13) warns very sternly, "U'd'ishtamash Be'taga Halaf" – one who uses Torah as a "crown" for glorifying himself deserves to be eliminated from the world. I am reminded of the time when, many years ago, before it was common for married men to wear Tefillin Rabbenu Tam, a regular fellow started putting on Tefillin Rabbenu Tam in front of everyone in the Deal Synagogue. Rav Yom Tob Yedid reprimanded him, noting that even the great Rabbis of Halab (Aleppo, Syria) would not put on Tefillin Rabbenu Tam in the synagogue; they wore it in the privacy of their home, so as not to publicize their observance of this admirable measure of piety. Another example of this mistake is when a person walks into shul in the morning with a towel around his neck, publicizing the fact that he went to the Mikveh before praying. If he were really sincere in his desire to achieve purity, then he would not need to draw attention to himself by wearing a towel. This applies also to the way we pray in the synagogue. A person should not pray in an unusual manner, swaying and throwing his hands around, turning his emotions into a public display. It is told that Rabbi Akiba would be standing at the end of his prayer in a different part of the room because he moved so much while praying – but this was only when he prayed at home. In public, one must not do anything unusual that would attract attention. The Peri Megadim (Rav Yosef Teomim, 1727-1792) notes that refraining from public displays of religiosity helps one avoid scorn and derision. One of the difficult obstacles that arise when people seek to grow in their religious observance is the ridicule that they hear from their peers. If one keeps his religious growth private, he is not subject to the scorn of cynical onlookers who seek to discourage him. Moreover, private endeavors are more likely to succeed and endure. The first Luhot (tablets) which Hashem gave to Moshe were shattered soon afterward – in response to the sin of the golden calf – whereas the second lasted forever. The Sages noted that the first Luhot were given as part of a public spectacle, whereas the second Luhot were given to Moshe privately, in quiet – and so the second Luhot endured. An important exception to this rule is religious observance in the presence of one's children. It is crucially important for children to see their parents' religious devotion so they learn from their example. The Torah says in the Book of Debarim (29:28), "Ha'nistarot L'Hashem Elokenu, Ve'ha'niglot Lanu U'l'banenu Ad Olam" – "The concealed matters are for Hashem our G-d, whereas the revealed matters are for us and our children, for all time." This has been explained to mean that everything we do for Hashem should be "Nistarot" – kept hidden, except that "Lanu U'l'banenu," with respect to our role as parents educating our children, our deeds should be "Niglot," revealed, open for them to see, so they can learn how to properly serve Hashem. Ultimately, of course, the most important factor is one's sincerity. The goal of every Misva act must be the pure service of Hashem, and connecting to Him to the best of one's ability, without any ulterior motives.

Publicity feels like the breakthrough moment every author is chasing—but most big interviews, features, and media hits don't translate into book sales the way you expect. In many cases, they don't move the needle at all.In this episode, we unpack what publicity really is—TV, radio, magazines, online media—and why it's rarely a direct path to sales. The core problem is simple: you're often putting your book in front of a cold audience with no reason to act right now. Visibility without context, trust, or repetition doesn't convert.We break down the “glamorous” marketing choices authors make that sound impressive but quietly underperform, and then shift into a more effective strategy.The key is reframing publicity as an asset, not an outcome.When used correctly, media coverage becomes a long-term marketing tool—something you can leverage across your website, media page, Amazon presence, and ongoing promotion. We talk through how to extract value from every feature: pulling quotes, building credibility, reinforcing your positioning, and creating repeat exposure so readers recognize you later and feel more confident buying. Because for books, familiarity isn't optional—it's what reduces perceived risk and drives decisions.We also tackle a listener question on marketing books that require deeper trust—topics like grief, caregiving, and spiritual struggle. These readers aren't casually browsing; they're actively looking for guidance and reassurance. That means your publicity and marketing need to clearly communicate authority, experience, and proof. We show you how to position those “receipts” so your visibility actually leads somewhere.If you've ever landed a great interview and wondered why it didn't translate into sales—or you're trying to make your publicity work harder for you—this episode gives you a more strategic framework.Subscribe, share it with an author who's chasing publicity, and stay tuned—because next, we'll break down how to actually land the right podcast interviews in the first place.Send us your feedback!Help shape our 2026 content by taking our 30-second listener poll!

It's about visibility, identity, confidence, and what happens inside someone when they decide to put their voice into the world in print.In this episode, we explore:• Why Richelle believes we need more books — especially from mission-driven leaders, creatives, and underrepresented voices• Why the idea that “there are already enough books” is a myth that keeps people silent• The most common fears aspiring authors face (imposter syndrome, pressure to have a perfect platform, fear of rejection) and how she helps them move through it• How the publishing industry actually works — and what most people misunderstand about it• Why a strong book proposal is not just a business document, but a clarity document• The deeper emotional and identity transformation authors experience during the proposal and writing process• How visibility wounds show up when someone starts writing a book — and what it takes to move through them with compassion• Why writing a book is as much about personal evolution as it is about craft, platform, or salesWhether you're already writing, secretly dreaming, or just curious about the world of publishing, this episode gives you both the strategy and the soul of what it takes to bring a book to life.

If you're interested in the real-life impact of legal procedures or just love a good deep dive into true crime and courtroom drama, you're in for a treat with this episode.Welcome to Lawyer Talk! In this episode, I take you through the fascinating and sometimes controversial topic of venue in criminal trials—specifically, when and why cases get moved out of their original county.Using some of the most high-profile examples, like Rodney King, the Oklahoma City bombing, O.J. Simpson, the Beltway Snipers, Scott Peterson, and the recent Bryan Kohberger case, I break down how media attention and local bias can affect a defendant's right to a fair trial.I also talk about the ongoing debate between victims' rights and the due process protections designed for those accused of crimes.3 Key Takeaways:Venue matters—and can be moved for fairness: Publicity and local sentiment often force courts to relocate trials (think Rodney King and Oklahoma City bombing), making sure defendants receive a fair process.Due process protects the accused, not the victims: As Steve Palmer explains, due process is designed to shield individuals from government overreach. Victims' rights amendments are emerging, but the Constitution primarily safeguards those facing charges.Media impact is huge: The pressure of saturated media coverage determines whether a trial stays put or moves elsewhere. Judges consider demographics, local bias, and sometimes expert evidence when making these decisions.Got a question you want answered on the podcast? Call 614-859-2119 and leave us a voicemail.
