Will the actual person — or people — behind @DoBetterDNVR finally be revealed? The account known for posting photos of unhoused people has grown and made a lot of noise online this week over concerns its contributors' identities could be exposed by the Denver Post. Then, cyclists claimed victory when two traffic calming projects were added back into the Vibrant Denver bond proposal. But are cars still winning the fight for funding and space overall? Host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi are joined by politics contributor Deep Singh Badhesha to dig into these stories, plus our wins and fails of the week. Bree mentioned the latest twist in the El Rancho/QuikTrip saga in Evergreen and the plans for an American Indian Cultural Center. Paul talked about Avalanche jersey rumors, QR code scammers, and his recent appearance on the Off the Clock podcast with Jon Eks. Deep talked about the state legislature's imminent special session and his hope for a state full of big blue animals.  What do you think about Do Better Denver's identity being revealed?

Jeralyn Glass is a singer, music teacher and sound healer. "In 2006, I purchased a 7 bowl set of Crystal Tones Singing Bowls. I was immediately taken with their purity and clarity of sound and I used them for myself, my family and my students. They helped open blockages, relieved stress, eased  physical pains and enhanced freedom of expression.  On March 27, 2015, my life changed forever when I lost my son. My only child, my beloved son, 19 years old. My world was shaken to the very core and I was brought to my knees. Nothing made sense anymore. Everything I believed about life was in question.  Never had I imagined that one day music and sound would be my emotional stability through such unimaginable loss. Life became a journey of negotiating profound grief, and music and sound vibration created the container that held me on the healing path through that anguish. When the feelings were overwhelming, the crystalline alchemy sounds offered me comfort, solace and friendship. Their exquisite, grounding yet ethereal tones soothed my brokenness, allowed me to move through the intense emotions and feelings and brought acceptance, hope and transmutation." In this episode, Jeralyn starts by facilitating a quick resetting sound bath for the listeners, and proceeds to talk about how sound frequencies have changed her life, how different harmonic frequencies make a different effect on the human body and shows her very cool sound therapy card deck! She also shares her story of falling deep into grief and re-connecting with her son, after his passing.

An unexpected journey from Hong Kong to Texas formed the backbone of Adam Coleman's story as he recounts how discovering airbrush stencils abroad eventually led him to become the North American distributor for Liang Models. What began with worn-out stencils and an email inquiry transformed into a passionate business venture connecting Chinese manufacturing innovation with the American modeling community.Coleman walks us through the fascinating evolution of Liang, founded in 2019 by architect and senior modeling judge Yusheng Liang. Their product line has expanded to approximately 90 items across three core categories: vinyl airbrush stencils, specialized modeling tools, and diorama accessories. The Zimmerit tools rank as their bestsellers, but newer innovations like the centered hole driller and handle bender showcase the thoughtful engineering behind each product.What distinguishes Liang from competitors is their commitment to education. Each product features a QR code linking to instructional videos, making complex techniques accessible to modelers of all skill levels. Coleman's distribution philosophy prioritizes geographic exclusivity for brick-and-mortar retailers while supporting online vendors in different regions, creating a collaborative rather than competitive marketplace.The episode then pivots to an exciting preview of the 48th annual Huntsville Plastic Model Society show scheduled for August 23rd. Tom Clark details how this well-established event has evolved to embrace emerging trends like Gundam modeling with expanded categories. With 62 vendor tables already sold out, food trucks (including milkshakes!), and proximity to the famous Space and Rocket Center, the show delivers a complete modeling experience for attendees.Whether you're interested in discovering innovative new modeling tools or planning to attend what promises to be an outstanding show in Alabama, this episode provides valuable insights into the ever-evolving world of scale modeling.

Quishing - QR codes used to trick people into visiting malicious websites or unknowingly share private information, a scam that has become known as “quishing.” - The increasing prevalence of QR code scams prompted a warning from the Federal Trade Commission earlier this year about unwanted or unexpected packages showing up with a QR code that when scanned “could take you to a phishing website that steals your personal information, like credit card numbers or usernames and passwords. It could also download malware onto your phone and give hackers access to your device.” - There is work being doen to develop a “smart” QR code called a SDMQR (Self-Authenticating Dual-Modulated QR) that has built-in security to prevent scams. But first, he needs buy-in from Google and Microsoft, the companies that build the cameras and control the camera infrastructure.

When Luke Murphy was growing up in rural Kerry, his father, a chemistry lecturer and environmental scientist, had a habit of turning even the simplest questions into full-scale lessons. "Ask about water testing and you'd get a deep dive into inorganic chemistry. It was fascinating, but also totally overwhelming," Murphy recalls. "It really made me think about how hard it is for experts to communicate the value of what they do." Waking Dreams from County Kerry Years later, that early insight would become the foundation for Waking Dreams Media, the Dublin-based video production company Murphy founded in January 2021. What began as a solo venture during the bleakest days of Ireland's third pandemic lockdown has since evolved into a growing team. Today, Waking Dreams Media delivers strategic video communications for some of the country's most technically complex businesses. But Murphy insists this is not a story about creative cinematography or camera gear. Instead, his team's work is about making complicated ideas easier to grasp. In particular, he's found a sweet spot in helping founders and teams who are building the kinds of products that don't yet have a ready-made market, or whose value can't be easily summed up in a single sentence. "These aren't off-the-shelf products," Murphy explains. "They're innovations, often emerging from research, deep tech, or life sciences. The challenge is not just showing what the product does, but helping someone who's never seen anything like it before understand why it matters." From the story of a gravestone to the story of a product Murphy's entrepreneurial streak showed up early. While completing a degree in Film and Media at UCC, he worked freelance behind the camera to support himself. He also co-founded a startup called The Story Of, a business that used QR codes to link gravestones with short videos about a person's life. The concept gained serious traction, even attracting media attention in Australia. But what Murphy took from that experience wasn't just media momentum. It was clarity about what he actually enjoyed. "I realised I was less interested in being the founder of a tech company than I was in helping tech companies communicate what they do," he says. "I loved the storytelling side, especially when it meant getting to grips with something complex and making it accessible." This impulse shaped the vision for Waking Dreams Media. Today, the company works with clients ranging from UCC Innovation and Blockchain Ireland to SMEs building smart RFID tools or pharmaceutical spinouts. Several of the startups they've supported have gone on to raise high six-figure funding rounds and land enterprise contracts. And they've often usd the videos in pitch decks and investor meetings. In one instance, a multinational client saw over 100,000 organic impressions from a single video campaign. "We start with messaging, not cameras" According to Murphy, the biggest misconception about video production is that it's simply about visuals. "People often assume video means showing up with a camera and recording whatever's there. But that's not how it works when you're dealing with complex B2B products. You can't explain a semiconductor startup the same way you'd shoot a wedding." Devising a strategy is the first stage of every project Murphy takes on. Murphy's team works with clients to clarify their core messaging, and ask questions. What changes in the customer's daily life if they use this product? What makes it different from what already exists? Why should a buyer or investor trust you? That messaging document becomes the foundation for everything else, not just the video but the website, sales deck and investor materials. It is a tool for internal alignment as much as external explanation. As Murphy puts it, "It's not about polishing a script. It's about revealing the story that already exists." Clients say the results speak for themselves. One founder described their Waking Dreams video as "...

President Trump's golfing trip to Scotland resulted in a new trade agreement with the EU yesterday, plus an agreement with the UK's Prime Minister Keir Starmer to work together on the escalating starvation crisis in Gaza. Trump also said Putin's deadline for ending the war in Ukraine is to be dramatically cut to just 10 or 12 days. Could he be the peacemaker people said he would be? Or is he just making things worse?

In a secret meeting between CBS and CBS News' new owners and the Trump Administration , they promised Trump that they would effectively be the new Fox News propaganda outlet of them, running Trump approved ads, and putting Trump friendly news and programming on the air. And shocker — Trump's FCC just approved the sale of CBS' parent to a big Trump supporter's son. Michael Popok takes a hard look at a new letter that reveals it all, and what it means for CBS and its viewership. You don't want your MTV anymore. Thanks to Ground News!

Lex chats with Harish Natarajan - Practice Manager, Financial Inclusion and Infrastructure, Finance, Competitiveness & Innovation at the World Bank, and Carlos Brandt - The Senior Advisor for Pix at the Central Bank of Brazil. Together they discuss the remarkable success of Pix, Brazil's real-time payment system, which now sees over 6 billion transactions per month and is used by more than 90% of the adult population and 80% of companies. Lex explores how Pix was created by the Central Bank of Brazil with strong public-private collaboration, backed by regulatory authority and supported by a co-creation model with stakeholders. Key to its adoption were a low-cost centralized infrastructure, clear branding, mandatory participation by large banks, and a robust national communication strategy. Globally, Pix is seen as a leading example of fast payment system deployment, driven by the central bank acting as a neutral coordinator and scheme owner. Lex also examines the technical architecture, built in-house by a surprisingly small team of 55–65 people, and how scalable infrastructure and extensibility have enabled rapid growth and innovation. NOTABLE DISCUSSION POINTS: 1. Pix achieved mass adoption through public-private co-creation and legal mandate:Pix now processes over 6 billion transactions per month, with 90% of Brazil's adult population and 80% of businesses actively using it. Its success stems from a strategic legal mandate in 2013 granting the Central Bank regulatory and operational authority over retail payments. The Central Bank then led a co-creation process involving both public and private stakeholders through the Pix Forum, fostering alignment, inclusivity, and strong network effects.2. A lean but powerful team built a nation-scale real-time payments system:The Pix infrastructure was built entirely in-house by a relatively small team, 30-40 people for the technical infrastructure layer and around 25 for the payment scheme layer. It operates 24/7 with real-time settlement and uses centralized infrastructure separate from Brazil's traditional large-value payment rails. This centralized, purpose-built architecture dramatically lowered costs and enabled rapid rollout.3. Strategic communication and mandated participation drove adoption at scale:The Central Bank led a national communication campaign to build trust, establish a strong brand identity, and educate the public. Simultaneously, it mandated major banks (with over 500,000 active accounts) to join Pix, triggering widespread voluntary adoption from smaller PSPs. The rollout included a restricted pilot phase and emphasized user-friendly features like QR codes and aliases to boost convenience and usage from day one. TOPICS Pix, Central Bank of Brazil, World Bank, Visa, Citibank, M-Pesa, Alipay, SPI, fintech, payments, PSP, API, Fast Payments, Payments Infrastructure, PayTech ABOUT THE FINTECH BLUEPRINT

This week, we're talking to Ryu Yokoi, chief media and marketing capabilities officer for North America at Unilever, about Dove's “Hot Seats” campaign — a bold, culture-hacking activation that shows up where the sweat is real and the stakes are surprisingly high.  Episode TranscriptPlease note, this transcript  may contain minor inconsistencies compared to the episode audio.Damian Fowler (00:00):I'm Damian Fowler, and welcome to this edition of The Big Impression. Today we are talking about how Unilever is breaking taboos, opening up new kinds of conversations and connecting with consumers in some unexpected places. Our guest is Ryu Yokoi Chief Media and Marketing Capabilities Officer for North America at Unilever. We're going to dive into DO'S Hot Seats campaign. It's a bold effort to normalize conversations around full body freshness and engage people across both digital and real world spaces. We'll be talking about how this campaign's activating across concerts, social, retail, and digital platforms. So let's get into it.Ryu Yokoi (00:46):It always starts with understanding our audience and also try to make our products really relevant and desirable in that context. And so the hot seats are originated from social listening within the community. And in particular, one of our, actually her name's Dana Pucci, who leads our PR and influencer work on Dove for North America is a big Charlie XCX fan. And she noted that the Incredible Sweat tour, which was driving and kind of owning the culture last summer in the brat summer, that was(01:21):Unfortunately the Sweat tour smelled not great. And it turned out that Charlie and Troy Sivan were going to be performing in Los Angeles the week before the launch of our new whole body deodorant. We kind did a takeover putting our product in the bathrooms. We sent in creators to sort of experience what a show is like when you can make sweats smell great. And the results were kind of magic because we got just unbelievable. The UVC on this and the Delight with folks attending a concert that actually smelled great was really fascinating, just fantastic response. And that week we had a really great launch of the product, first hitting the digital shells on Amazon and doing great.Damian Fowler (02:02):That sounded like a very fast activation for a campaign.Ryu Yokoi (02:06):It happened literally within 10 days.Damian Fowler (02:08):What was the war room like for that 10 days? How did you strategize to get that done?Ryu Yokoi (02:14):We always emphasize we want to build worlds instead of chasing moments. So when you have an idea of what you're trying to build with the brand, how you show up, then it becomes a lot easier.Damian Fowler (02:25):And tell me a little bit about the tone. I mean, one of you mentioned the humor element of it. Why is that real talk, that humor so key to Dove campaigns?Ryu Yokoi (02:34):Well, I think there's a real authenticity that the brand has earned. We say, oh, it's an authentic, it's only authentic if people believe it. The brand is really comfortable in its own skin. We have a sharp understanding. I think that goes beyond a positioning statement to really understanding what this brand stands for, how it shows up in real life, what it would be like if you were to meet it and still be consistent in our building of that brand means to people.Damian Fowler (03:00):Yeah, I mean, I've got to say I live in New York and I've noticed the campaign on the New York, out of digital, out of home subway screens and it just totally cuts through and I noticed it. And of course you're standing on a New York City platform in terrible heat, humidity, and everyone's sweating. It's like a perfect placement.Ryu Yokoi (03:19):Well, I would say the subway work you've seen is really telegraphing that benefit, right? If you're blessed to be next to somebody who's wearing dove on the subway, then wow, this is a good ride. We've sponsored Charlie's spring tour and we're also showing up at other festivals like Lollapalooza, which have just provide another canvas for us to tell the story.Damian Fowler (03:38):Is it a case that once the campaign's out there in the wild, it builds its own momentum? Or are you actively trying to find new events, new points of pop culture? Kind of.Ryu Yokoi (03:47):That's exactly what we're trying to find, right, is we understand that if we're able to actually become part of the discourse, we're not just broadcasting ourselves in, but actively playing a role and helping people. And we had a similar case where the first weekend of Coachella people were again, lamenting unfortunately didn't smell great, and in this case somebody not us posted saying, well, I wish Dov would come and help here. We really had a lot of fun with it. We flew a plane over Coachella the second week saying, the cavalry's coming help is on the way we hear you need.Damian Fowler (04:24):That's good.Ryu Yokoi (04:25):Some help. And we're going to be there. We lined up folks around the entrances so that folks could kind of get freshen up on the way into the show or get freshened up, and more than a thousand people took advantage of that.Damian Fowler (04:35):Now, I wanted to ask you about some of the key signals or early reads on the campaign. I'm sure you're paying close attention as you evaluate the impact. What do you look for on your dashboard, as it were?Ryu Yokoi (04:47):Right. So I think first and foremost, you're right. Measurement is the most importantDamian Fowler (04:54):Thing.Ryu Yokoi (04:54):But first and foremost, we did this the week before we were launching the product. So the first signal was did we turn well? And weDamian Fowler (05:02):Did.Ryu Yokoi (05:02):And the ramp on the product was really terrific. But I think to your point, it's really important no matter what the channel that you're playing in, what are the leading indicators that we can correlate with performance? In this case, it was one where things happened so quickly and we knew there was literally nothing else happening when we did this, and so we were able to isolate that way.Damian Fowler (05:23):Are there other channels that you are kind of thinking about or could be targeted for the campaign?Ryu Yokoi (05:31):In principle, I want to be able to capture signal everywhere. For me it's just around understanding where are people discussing whatever it is that we're trying to get into the discussion on and being authentic there. So for us, Reddit is a channel we haven't used as much in the past. Certainly now I find it increasingly of relevance for us. So we're trying to build up a skillset there,Damian Fowler (05:55):EspeciallyRyu Yokoi (05:55):Given how important it is with ais. Right.Damian Fowler (05:58):What about audio? Is thatRyu Yokoi (06:00):Podcast? Absolutely podcast. So(06:03):I would say, again, this was highly before it became something that we were rolling out in real life. Oh my goodness, the word is spectator events. Before it became something we were doing in real life as spectator events, it was a highly music driven campaign because we had decided to reboot this classic hip hop song from a few decades ago. And so it was already sort of music oriented and had played that way. But yeah, so for us it's exactly to your point. If we're talking about something that we're doing that's focusing on music or spectators, obviously audio is going to have relevance. Where are Charlie's fans actually discussing this? It turned out it was happening on Reddit. We go there, where are they discussing their experience at the concerts? We were seeing a lot of chatter on TikTok around that. And so we moved there. So we try to be nimble and agile and really be where the discourse is happening.Damian Fowler (07:07):So we're going to zoom out a little bit and just look at the big picture of the landscape beyond the campaign. But as you think about where culture is heading, whether it's wellness, inclusivity, or body confidence, what does the campaign kind of tell us about where Unilever wants to go with its brands or its kind of messaging wants to put out into the marketplace?Ryu Yokoi (07:27):We're all about building desire for our brands at scale. So we want to engage with communities wherever they are. It's about having a deep understanding of who our shopper is, what is driving desire for them, who influences them, and how we can really engage with them and create a discourse where we can try to move towards many to many communication.Damian Fowler (07:49):One of the big challenges for Marcus is balancing the long-term brand building with the short-term sales results. And do you think that there's a tension there right now in a marketplace that's very much dialed into performance?Ryu Yokoi (08:01):Listen, I think that it's really important that you have the right measurement in place and that you can understand both the short-term and long-term effects of the investments that you're making. That's something we really pride ourselves on. We want to be the most outcome oriented advertiser in the marketplace. But the other thing I would say is that more and more data signals and shopability are making it so the funnel is collapsing and we're nearing places when it comes to QR or having true shopability in stream where even executions that in the past would've been considered the most upper funnel can actually drive a transaction in that moment. And I think a future of that's really exciting.Damian Fowler (08:40):So finally, we're going to get into some of these hot seat rapid fire questions here.Ryu Yokoi (08:44):Okay,Damian Fowler (08:44):So you ready?Ryu Yokoi (08:45):Yes, let's go.Damian Fowler (08:46):Alright. What's one thing you're obsessed with figuring out right now?Ryu Yokoi (08:50):We've been talking about how much we've built out resources in this area and all of the interconnections that the data allows us to make. That implies campaigns that become more and more complex and much more complicated to just flight even. And so one of the things that I'm obsessed with is how we simplify that. There's so much change happening to accommodate all of this stuff. So really my big focus right now is on how we make working in this digital landscape easier for everybody involved in it because the amount of choices that we have and the richest is never ending. And so just making that more sustainable.Damian Fowler (09:32):I love that. That's a great answer. What's missing from the media and marketing marketplace that you'd like to see?Ryu Yokoi (09:39):From a Unilever standpoint, we have a few direct to consumer brands that are able to sort of track the media journey all the way through to conversion, but in the bulk of what we sell in traditional, fast moving goods are moving through retail. So what's missing is some way to penetrate that clean from a data standpoint so that those of us brands that aren't doing DTC can have that all the way through. We manage that well today with leading indicators and fast signals, but there's I think even more richness out there for us if we're able to correct that.Damian Fowler (10:15):To bring this kind of full circle outside of CPG, is there a brand that you think is doing a great job connecting with culture right now?Ryu Yokoi (10:22):Yeah, so I would name two. One that we really admire is Lego. I just see the way that they have both made their products, both a vehicle for other brands to build their worlds while also building incredible worlds for themselves. So they've become kind of this almost currency within the way that so many other brands are trying to build their IP in the world. So whether it's like a Formula One drop a Star Wars drop a Harry Potter drop, these things each have so much hype around them and they've learned while doing that so that they're able to propel their own ip, which is really impressive to me. So the other, I would say we had a fantastic opportunity to work with this year as crumble cookie. They were dove soaps, deodorant, lotions that were fragranced inspired by crumble flavors. And so in partnering then we were able to build off of that and make our soaps, our body washes, our deodorants, one of the drops of the winter. We struggled to keep it on shelf. So I'm a big admirer of the work that they've done too.Damian Fowler (11:27):That sounds cool. And then final, final question here. So in Unilever kind of portfolio of brands Dove Ben and, and the goal has always been to spark conversations, that's how we started this conversation. I guess I'm wondering if you could share a moment that reminded you of the importance of that brand led cultural impact that you can have.Ryu Yokoi (11:51):Oh wow. There's so many, but I'll give Dove so that we can show the other side of the coin because we've been talking about a campaign as I was saying, that shows a more playful side, the humorous side of the brand, but one of the areas the brand has focused over the past few years, and we just celebrated 20 years of the Dove Self-Esteem program, and Dove is one of the leading providers of self-esteem education in the world. I think actually we give the most annually self-esteem workshops. And one of the areas we focused recently is body confidence in sport. And so we partnered with Nike a few years ago to do research on the topic of young women in sport. And what we discovered along with them was that young women as they reach their teen years, are dropping out of sports at an alarming rate relative to guys.(12:41):And the chief reason is body confidence is feeling comfortable in your own skin wearing the kinds of outfits that you're wearing when you're playing sports. And so we set out to, together with Nike, actually develop a curriculum for coaches, which is the Body Confidence Sport curriculum that literally teaches coaches how to talk to young women about their bodies in ways that are positive and not discouraging. And so we've now been leveraging almost Trojan Horse, our participation across the big game. Our role as a sponsor of March Madness, we activated it last year with em, Navarro at the US Open really across major sports temples. We've just signed our first kit sponsorship of Gotham FC in the New York, New Jersey area of the Women's Professional Soccer League. And we're partnering with them also where they have a program called Keep Her in the Game. That's all around keeping young women in the New York, New Jersey area, staying, playing soccer. And so all of this focused again on trying to create a platform where we can talk about this and encourage people to go and learn about this curriculum. And the most encouraging thing. A really long-winded answer to your question,Damian Fowler (13:58):That's great.Ryu Yokoi (13:58):What struck me was we were looking back at the research and our spots in the big game have generated really good discourse the past couple of years. Really positive response from folks who've been inspired, not just by the ads themselves, but also I think this year we were one of maybe only a handful of brands that delivered a purpose message in the game. The really encouraging is the group with whom it resonated the most was Girl Dads, right?Damian Fowler (14:26):Yeah.Ryu Yokoi (14:26):The very guys who are probably coaching on the weekend who probably need to know more about how to speak to these young women and keep them comfortable and inspired playing. So it's stuff like that that makes me see all the time. As I was saying earlier, for us it's around how can we show up, how can we add value? How can we actually help the community? And when we do that, then we build trust and then we can have different kinds of dialogues with people and they really know who we are.Damian Fowler (14:54):And that's it for this edition of The Big Impression. This show is produced by Molten Heart. Our theme is by Loving Caliber, and our associate producer is Sydney Cairns. And remember,Ryu Yokoi (15:03):I think there's a real authenticity that the brand has earned. We say, oh, it's an authentic, it's only authentic if people believe it.Damian Fowler (15:12):I'm Damian, and we'll see you next time.

Trump's inner circle and former chief of staff got banished to Al Jazeera to tell the world that Trump is definitely IN the Epstein pedophile crime files. , and that he didn't think it was his place to tell Trump to not blame  hillary for killing epstein, before trump now says it was a hoax. At the very same time, as Popok reports, Trump falsely claims he didn't send Epstein a x rated birthday card featuring one of his custom made inappropriate doodles as reported in the WSJ, but now  calls for a small subclass of Epstein files to be released (hint: not the photos and physical evidence!
