This week on Bound + Determined, I'm beyond thrilled to introduce you to my editor and book collaborator, Hannah Robinson. She has been an integral part in helping me make Do the Thing all that I want it to be for you. I have 3 weeks until my manuscript deadline, and I'm right on time! In this episode, you'll hear how we worked together, and some of the challenges I came across in my writing.

Now, Hannah is out on her own and eager to shed light on how editors can support authors in diverse ways. Hannah is an absolute stand-out talent at what she does, and she's breaking down all the ways an outside editor/collaborator (someone beyond your Publisher's editor) can enhance your writing experience and the final product.

A little over a month ago we did a last-minute podcast about an audacious experiment our special guest today, Nick O'Connor, did with Glenn Fisher and the financial publishing giant Marketwise: Glenn told us how they put together a special program called Financial Copy U, which would train 12 copywriters ABSOLUTELY FREE on how to write copy for financial publishers. With the understanding that some graduates might be offered full-fledged copywriting jobs on the spot, depending, of course, how they did in the training. Now that Financial Copy U is in full swing, we asked Nick to tell us more about what he and Glenn did and are doing right now. Seeing as there's not enough other solid training for financial copywriting going on right now, at least that I know of, I realize Nick has a lot of valuable information for us. Among his many impressive accomplishments, Nick was Head of Copy and Publisher for Agora's financial imprint in the UK, Southbank Investment Research. Today, as well as co-founding The Fix, he writes freelance for financial publishers in the UK, US and Australia and consults with Agora companies around the world. Nick told us about the origin of Financial Copy U, why he, Glenn and Marketwise decided to do it, the difference between winning applications to the program and those that didn't make it, and a lot more. Great information about financial copywriting and copywriting in general! For more info about the program: https://www.financialcopyu.com Download.

Alcohol is under pressure—from shifting consumption trends and rising health concerns to a loss of marketing relevance. In today's Episode, RBC Capital Markets analyst Nik Modi joins Duane Stanford (Beverage Digest Editor & Publisher) and John Sicher (Industry Expert, Consultant) to unpack the causes behind the persistent sales decline across beer, wine, and spirits. Are the problems cyclical (the economy) or structural (people are simply drinking less)? What lessons can alcohol brands learn from soda's decline and reckoning? What does this mean for companies like Coke and PepsiCo and their bottlers, which are looking for growth in the alcoholic beverage sector. And how will functional beverages, occasion-based marketing, and cross-category consolidation fit into the future? Modi makes a bold prediction on the latter.Text us thoughts, questions, or topic suggestions.

Episode 50 ‼️ We're celebrating this milestone with someone very special, and fitting for the occasion—Alice Grandoit-Šutka. Anyone who has been following this podcast for a while now is likely familiar with the magazine—also called Top Rank—from which it came. Alice was the co-founder and creator of that publication, made in Brooklyn, which highlighted women who were leading groundbreaking and culture-shifting practices at the time. Though the two of us knew each other prior to the genesis of Top Rank Magazine, it was the first thing we ever worked on together, and it is the reason for everything we've created together since. This episode presents a truly full circle moment, as we welcome Alice herself back to the show that was born of her brainchild.  In addition to a friend, and an impactful and generative force in our lives, Alice is a research-based designer, host, and publisher. Over the past 15 years, she has developed an expansive practice that is equal parts experimental, referential, and relational, and exists at the intersections of the arts, community engagement, and food. For episode 50, we take a trip down memory lane to reflect on how Alice's creative universe took shape, and continues to evolve.

What happens when a county government tries to silence its watchdog? In Pender County, North Carolina, officials yanked away the Post and Voice's legal notices — a critical revenue lifeline — not because the paper failed to fulfill its duty, but because it did. Publisher Andy Pettigrew called out backroom deals and ran biting editorial cartoons, prompting the commissioners to strike back. Now, the fight has moved from the courthouse steps to federal court, raising a chilling First Amendment question: If politicians can punish a paper for speaking the truth, what local newsroom is safe?

THE GOOD CITIZEN—This episode is a special one for us here at Magazeum. We even gave it its own code name: “Project Rosebud” (IYKYK). But if you only know our guest as the grandson of the man who inspired the lead character in the film classic Citizen Kane and the founder of one of the largest publishing empires in the world, you are missing out. Will Hearst could have done the easy thing, but he chose not to. As the current chairman of the Hearst Corporation, Will balances stewardship of a sprawling media empire with a commitment to community and lasting value. Unlike the new breed of media moguls, his leadership is less about compliance and more about the continuing importance of fostering quality journalism rooted in place and purpose.But aside from his role as a suit at the Hearst Corporation, Will's labor of love is Alta—an indie quarterly that champions a distinct West Coast voice, providing a vital counterpoint to the East Coast lens that still dominates the national discourse.Alta is crafted to be held and savored—he thinks of its subscribers as members more than a mailing list. In an age dominated by volume, speed, and algorithms, Will Hearst would like to remind us to slow down, listen deeply, and consume wisely. In times like these, his vision seems almost Quixotic—to see media as craft, culture as inheritance, and storytelling as something lasting. Nevertheless, he continues to charge, shaping a legacy both ancient and urgently new.—This episode is made possible by our friends at Commercial Type and Freeport Press.

“Asynchronous messaging respects customers' time—and when you meet people where they already are, CSAT, revenue, and retention follow.” — Gareth Bray, Premier CX Gareth Bray, Business Development Director at Premier CX, joined Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, to discuss how WhatsApp is becoming an essential business channel worldwide. Premier CX, originally known for IVR audio and FAQ videos, now leads organizations through a “zero to amazing” journey on WhatsApp, helping them design, integrate, and scale conversational experiences. Bray explained why WhatsApp is booming: Global adoption — >90% of consumers in India & Brazil already use it to talk to businesses; Europe and the U.S. are rapidly following. Convenience — Asynchronous messaging beats long hold times and tethered web chats. Trust — WhatsApp sits alongside family and friends, making it highly personal and effective. The results are clear: companies report higher productivity, lower costs, stronger CSAT, and increased sales and retention. Bray shared examples from retail and utilities where WhatsApp journeys cut handle time, empowered customers, and improved outcomes for all parties. Bottom line: Just as websites once became essential, WhatsApp is the next wave of customer engagement—and businesses that delay risk being left behind.

"There are over a billion copper lines worldwide that will disappear in the next five to ten years," says Jake Jacoby, CEO of TELCLOUD. "That's why we built our platform from day one to be global—so our partners can meet this challenge anywhere their customers do business." In the latest episode of the TELCLOUD POTS and Shots Podcast Series, Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, sits down with Jacoby to discuss the international scale of the POTS replacement opportunity. While the U.S. still faces the conversion of more than 25 million commercial lines, the global market represents an even larger transformation—with more than a billion lines of legacy copper that must be replaced over the coming decade. Jacoby explains that TELCLOUD's success in the U.S. has driven demand abroad, with active deployments now in Canada, Mexico, Germany, the UK, and additional markets in Europe, Asia-Pacific, and South America. By engineering devices and a platform ready for worldwide deployment, TELCLOUD enables resellers and carriers to address regional regulations, dial plans, and connectivity challenges while still relying on a single global backend. For channel partners, this means two things: Cross-border opportunity – Many customers already operate in both the U.S. and Canada or Mexico, making international coverage a natural next step. Global scalability – TELCLOUD's cloud-native design and partnerships with providers like AWS GovCloud ensure compliance and reliability, even in highly regulated environments. Jacoby also highlighted the broader industry shift away from aging copper toward fiber, wireless, and satellite connectivity, noting that TELCLOUD's mission is to bridge the gap—supporting legacy equipment with modern, resilient infrastructure that delivers long-term reliability. This episode marks the 20th edition of the POTS and Shots series, and Jacoby reflected on the journey so far: “What started as a creative way to talk about technology has become an educational platform that's helping resellers rethink their role in the copper sunset. We're excited for the next 20.” And true to the Shots tradition, Jacoby shared a special tasting from his travels: the Arete Gran Clase Extra Añejo, a four-year-aged tequila brought to Shanghai as a gift for international partners—underscoring the global theme of this episode. Next in the series: “The Hidden Costs of Doing Nothing.” For more information, visit telcloud.com or call 844-900-2270.

“Our approach is simple: remove the PII from the data stream, and you don't have to worry about compliance,” said Bill Placke, President, Americas at SecurePII. At WebexOne in San Diego, Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, spoke with Jason Thals, COO of BroadSource, and Placke of SecurePII about their finalist recognition in Cisco's Dynamic Duo competition. The joint solution, built on Cisco Webex Contact Center, is designed to unlock AI's potential by enabling enterprises to leverage large language models without exposing sensitive personal data. SecurePII's flagship product, SecureCall, was purpose-built for Webex (and also available on Genesys) to deliver PCI compliance while removing personally identifiable information from voice interactions. This enables organizations to deploy AI and agentic automation confidently, without the regulatory risk tied to data privacy laws across the U.S., GDPR, and beyond. Thals emphasized BroadSource's role in delivering services that complement CCaaS and UCaaS platforms globally, while Placke framed the opportunity for Cisco partners: “This is a super easy bolt-on, available in the Webex App Hub. Customers can be up and running in 30 minutes and compliant.” The collaboration, already proven with a government-regulated client in Australia, is industry-agnostic and scalable from small deployments to 50,000+ users. For Cisco resellers, it represents a powerful, sticky service that integrates seamlessly into channel models while helping enterprises stay compliant as they modernize customer engagement.

This episode is sponsored by PianoThe essential challenge for publishers is similar to most businesses: find a way to control their relationship with the customer. That means going back to basics, argues Trevor Kaufman, CEO of Piano, and giving people reasons to come directly to publishers. Too often published have chosen audience development tactic — fish where the fish are, etc — over sound business strategies, Trevor told me on the Rebooting Show ahead of this week's Piano Academy in Paris.“Fundamentally, creating a loyal audience that shows up at your front door; that's the business of publishing. And we get too distracted with a pivot to video, or apps, or Facebook, or AI, instead of asking what it means to be a subscriber, a member of this brand.” Other issues we discussed:The “original sins” of publishing: giving away content to Google for free and letting intermediaries seize the advertiser relationshipWhy publishing is near the top of industries ranked by “complexity per dollar” of revenueHow Piano has evolved into managing the entire subscriber journey, from ad-block prompts to newsletters to bundles.See The Rebooting's recent "total monetization" research report done in collaboration with Piano.

THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT—While it's not true that kids don't read, it may be true that adults aren't teaching kids to read. It's also true that today's children face issues that those of the past didn't. And the pandemic—there's that word again—impacted everyone in ways we're still figuring out, including kids. Perhaps especially kids.There are, amazingly, and encouragingly, many new magazines for children of all ages now. One of them is Anyway, a magazine for tweens founded by two mothers—and long-time friends—who grew up loving magazines and, yes, were worried about their kids' screen time. They also knew that tween issues weren't being addressed properly and that a root cause of some of them was a media landscape that pushed consumers, no matter the age, into silos—or communities—where they could go through life unchallenged.Go to the Anyway website and you are confronted with the slogan: “Growing up is hard. You can do it Anyway.“ This speaks to both kids and parents, another reality of a kids magazine that most magazines don't have to face: you have two very specific markets—kids and their parents—and your readership will eventually age out. Meaning the marketing challenges never end even while reader loyalty does. What does that mean for a media brand?—This episode is made possible by our friends at Freeport Press.
