Where is Pinterest going and how does it serve creators as their founding business adopters? Our team has actively been investing in e-commerce sellers, as Pinterest has given us signals since 2022 that it is headed in that direction. From the hiring of Bill Ready from PayPal and Venmo and his stacking of the C-suite team with other e-commerce-forward C-suite leaders, the writing was on the wall. But that leaves the big question of where do creators fit into all of this. Do people on Pinterest still find them discoverable? Lately, I've been playing around on Pinterest more as a user. Just to see what is coming up for me. Of course, the AI slop which is all around the internet, but products are definitely something that comes up strong the moment I give the algorithm any signal that I like.I'm going to Spain in the fall for my 50th birthday. We're spending 2 weeks exploring the country with friends and I cannot wait. I've already started looking at clothes and new swimsuits. The moment I clicked on a suit, my feed was flooded with resortware and more swim. It was hard to find content. But now I''m searching for tips on Spain and it's back. That being said, search is still alive and well. In fact, Pinterest in the Q4 2025 investor report, said they have more searches than Chat GPT. That's impressive. Also, users grew to 614 million. But something lacked in their report and caused the stock to dip – advertisers impacted by strong headwinds due to tariffs. Those were their words, not mine. What does that mean then? E-commerce sellers on a large scale - think Target and Walmart- were hit hard and pulled back advertising dollars.Queue a new C-suite member who is specifically targeting small and mid-size businesses for advertising. Those who are selling products are PRIME for spending money on Pinterest Ads. Our clients prove this out with our e-commerce sellers having some of the highest ROI in Q4 of 2025. Last, I'll say this. We're leaning into experimenting with Substack and how to leverage Pinterest for growth of subscribers. We have two accounts running the experiment now and they are eager to prove out this model by going through our accelerator model first and then transitioning into ads. Our team is so curious and excited. Is Pinterest dead in 2026? A question I've been asked every year. I don't think so but the old models aren't work. It's time to think differently and creatively. —-------Here are some helpful links from the podcast:

In this episode of Skip the Queue, host Andy Povey is joined by Robbie Jones from Katapult to discuss how guest insights and psychology shape the design of modern visitor attractions. Robbie shares how Katapult works with IPs, theme parks and destinations to create experiences that focus on guest behaviour, emotions and expectations. The conversation centres on a groundbreaking four-year research project with University of Birmingham and Drayton Manor Resort exploring how attractions can better support neurodivergent guests. The project aims to develop a global blueprint for neuroinclusive design that improves accessibility while maintaining exciting and immersive experiences. Key Topics Discussed: Insights-led design in themed attractions Neurodiversity and inclusion in theme parks A four-year research project with the University of Birmingham and Drayton Manor Breaking misconceptions around sensory experiences and neurodivergence Personalisation and guest autonomy in attractions Reducing friction in queues and guest journeys The role of analogue, interactive experiences in museums and parks The commercial and social impact of inclusive attraction design   Show References:   Robbie Jones, Insights Director at Katapult https://www.katapult.co.uk/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/mrrobbiejones/ https://blooloop.com/katapult-neuroinclusion-research/   Skip the Queue is brought to you by Merac.

This week, Phillip and Jeremy sit down with Aaron, a Disney College Program alum who spent his time keeping Magic Kingdom spotless as part of the custodial team. Aaron pulls back the curtain on what it's actually like to work one of Disney's most overlooked and most essential roles, from navigating massive crowds on Main Street to handling the kinds of messes that would make most people quit on the spot. And if you thought custodial meant just sweeping up popcorn, Aaron is about to change your mind completely.Aaron also dishes on what it was like occasionally crossing over to other parks, and how the vibe, the guests, and the chaos level differ more than you'd expect depending on where you're clocking in that day.Then things get competitive. Phillip puts Aaron's Disney instincts to the ultimate test with The Sound Check, a game where Aaron has to identify locations around Walt Disney World using nothing but ambient sounds and audio clues. Queue music, attraction effects, crowd noise. If you've spent enough time in the parks, you know the sounds. But can Aaron's ears hold up under pressure?It's insider stories, park secrets, and a whole lot of laughs. This one's not to be missed.

Send us a messageWe've talked in the last two episodes about Burnout and Holy Discontent. Burnout - when we are just plain worn out and tired, but our job isn't over. Holy Discontent - when there's something stirring in us for something better and new. Sometimes peace lifts because God is deepening something in us. But here's the tension: once you recognize holy discontent, the temptation is to assume movement must follow immediately. But, sometimes the next step after holy discontent… is obedience in the ordinary.Why? Because discernment doesn't always lead to dramatic transition. Sometimes it leads right back to your desk, your classroom, your kitchen, or your inbox. There is a particular kind of obedience that feels unimpressive. It's doing the thing in front of you without resentment building a quiet case against your life.This is where we quietly decide who we're becoming. And in that moment - in that place - we find our ability to be obedient in the ordinary.

In this episode of Between Product and Partnerships, Biljana Pecelj joins Cristina Flaschen to explain how smaller teams successfully ship integrations with larger platform partners. She makes the case that leveraging usage data and performance metrics is the key to proving your integration's value, giving you the necessary influence to move up a major partner's priority list.Biljana shares lessons from her experience managing integrations at Hootsuite during major platform shifts, including the rise of Instagram Business APIs and the emergence of new features like Stories that didn't always come with immediate API support. She also details the process of aligning internal stakeholders to ensure integration features actually ship despite shifting external APIs.The conversation also covers the operational side of integrations, this includes why observability needs to be built early, how teams detect silent failures before customers do, and how to structure internal alignment when integration work touches engineering, legal, partnerships, and revenue.Who we sat down withBiljana Pecelj is a Principal Product Manager at Ledgy with deep experience building integrations inside platform-heavy environments. She has worked extensively on partnership-driven product initiatives where execution speed depends on navigating both technical constraints and external partner relationships.Biljana brings expertise in:Building integrations in environments where APIs and features evolve asynchronouslyDesigning for observability and proactive monitoringNavigating asymmetric partner relationshipsAligning roadmap priorities across product, partnerships, legal, and engineeringManaging tradeoffs between beta opportunities and engineering capacityKey TopicsWhy integration product work is relationship workTechnical execution matters, but alignment with partners determines whether integrations actually ship and scale.Building in ecosystems you don't controlAPIs change. Features launch without endpoints. Roadmaps shift. Successful teams anticipate uncertainty rather than assume stability.The importance of observability from day oneSilent failures are common in integrations. Without monitoring, teams often learn about outages from customers instead of systems.Roadmap tradeoffs when beta opportunities ariseNew partner features can require immediate shifts in engineering priorities. Negotiation and resource reallocation become core product skills.M&A and integration complexityBrand consolidation rarely means backend integration.

Send us a messageIn the last episode, we talked about burnout, and how it has a way of shrinking your perspective. Sometimes we mistake burnout for a disruption in our calling, and oftentimes we just need to pause and rest and not completely hit the "reset" button.But today, in part two of our "Right Place, Right Time" series, we're going to turn the tables a bit.  What about when the restlessness doesn't fade after a weekend off? What if it sharpens instead of disappearing when you finally catch your breath?Instead of burnout, it could be the start of what I call "holy discontent" - when instead of screaming, “Get out and do something new,” it quietly asks, “Are you ready for more?” It's that persistent nudge that something in your life needs to grow, change, or deepen. It's  like an internal tap on the shoulder that doesn't go away.

This week's episode starts with some bittersweet news: Silver Dollar City's beloved Thunderation mine train is closing in January 2027 (EB shares how it traumatized his daughter for a year!), plus there's purple track arriving at Six Flags Great Adventure for the Kingda Ka replacement—could it be a record-breaking spinning tower coaster?!   Disney's new CEO Josh D'Amaro is already shaking things up by sending Villains Land back to the drawing board because "it's not good enough," and Dollywood just announced the most creative marketing stunt ever: Flight 925, a themed vacation package flying fans from Orlando to Knoxville with in-flight trivia, Dolly merch, and exclusive park access.   The Coaster Radio Meetup is THIS SUNDAY and Mike & EB are finalizing the game plan! Join the guys as they map out their SeaWorld Orlando strategy for February 22nd—debating whether to rope drop Pipeline or gamble on crowd levels, discussing the merits of a $60 Quick Queue pass, and plotting their attack on Mako, Manta, Kraken, and Ice Breaker.   The guys also debate the eternal question: is it worth buying a Quick Queue when you might be a sucker if there are no lines? Plus details on following the meetup live via X/Twitter, the Seven Seas Food Festival sampler strategy, and why EB refuses to feel bad about eating fish. If you're heading to SeaWorld on Sunday, this is your essential pre-game show!

Send us a messageYou can have a renewed mindset and a re-centered sense of purpose, and yet carry a quiet heaviness that doesn't quite lift. That's often because renewal isn't complete until it reaches the heart. The heart is where our desires live, where our wounds linger, and where fatigue tends to hide the longest. There's a kind of tiredness that doesn't show up on the surface. It isn't physical exhaustion, and it doesn't always come with obvious discouragement. It's the tiredness of the heart - a subtle tiredness that builds over time, especially in people who care deeply and carry a lot. In this last episode of the renewal series, we focus on why the renewal of our mind, our purpose, and our actions all centers around the renewal of our heart.

Send us a messageIn the last couple of episodes, we've been talking about renewal - what it means to be restored, and how renewal begins quietly in the way we think. When our minds start to shift, clarity begins to return. But clarity doesn't stay abstract for long. Eventually, renewed thinking asks a deeper question: What is this shaping me toward? Because when the mind begins to renew, it naturally leads us to purpose. How we think influences how we choose, how we prioritize, and how we move forward. Purpose often blurs because life piles on top of it. Expectations grow. Schedules tighten. People rely on us. Over time, purpose can quietly shift from something we live from into something we simply carry. And when that happens, even good work can start to feel draining instead of life-giving.Renewal isn't meant to stop at perspective - it's meant to guide direction. So if purpose feels unclear right now, let this be reassuring: confusion is not failure. Blurriness is often a signal that renewal is needed. And renewal doesn't mean starting over; it means returning to the breath that first gave life to your purpose.

Leveraging Thought Leadership with Peter Winick

What happens when your AI strategy moves faster than your team's ability to trust it, govern it, or explain it? In this episode of Leveraging Thought Leadership, Peter Winick sits down with Kate O'Neill—Founder & CEO of KO Insights, author of "What Matters Next", and globally recognized as a "tech humanist"—to unpack what leaders are getting dangerously wrong about digital transformation right now. Kate challenges the default mindset that tech exists to serve the business first and humans second. She reframes the entire conversation as a three-way relationship between business, humans, and technology. That shift matters, because "human impact" isn't a nice-to-have. It's the core variable that determines whether innovation scales sustainably or collapses under backlash, risk, and regret. You'll hear why so many companies are racing into AI with confidence on the surface and fear underneath. Boards want speed. Markets reward bold moves. But many executives privately admit they don't fully understand the complexity or consequences of the decisions they're being pressured to make. Kate gives language for that tension and practical frameworks for "future-ready" leadership that doesn't sacrifice long-term resilience for short-term acceleration. The conversation gets real about what trust and risk actually mean in an AI-driven world. Kate argues that leaders need a better taxonomy of both—because without it, AI becomes a multiplier of bad decisions, not a generator of better ones. Faster isn't automatically smarter. And speed without wisdom is just expensive chaos. Finally, Kate shares the larger mission behind her work: influencing the decisions that impact millions of people downstream. Her "10,000 Boardrooms for 1 Billion People" initiative is built around one big idea—if we want human-friendly tech at scale, we need better thinking at the top. Not performative ethics. Not buzzwords. Better decisions, made earlier, by the people with the power to set direction. If you lead strategy, product, innovation, or culture—and you're feeling the pressure to "move faster" with AI—this episode gives you the language, frameworks, and leadership posture to move responsibly without losing momentum. Three Key Takeaways: • Human impact isn't a soft metric—it's a strategy decision. Kate reframes transformation as a three-way relationship between business, humans, and technology. If you don't design for the human outcome, the business outcome eventually breaks. • AI speed without trust creates risk. Leaders feel pressure to move fast, but trust, governance, and clarity lag behind. Without a shared understanding of risk and responsibility, AI becomes a multiplier of bad decisions. • Better decisions upstream create better outcomes at scale. Kate's "10,000 Boardrooms for 1 Billion People" idea drives home that the biggest lever isn't the tool—it's leadership judgment. The earlier the thinking improves at the top, the safer and more scalable innovation becomes. If Kate's "tech humanist" lens made you rethink how you're leading AI and transformation, your next listen should be our episode 149 with Brian Solis. Brian goes deep on what most leaders miss—the human side of digital change, the behavioral ripple effects of technology, and why transformation only works when it's designed for people, not just performance. Queue it up now and pair the two episodes back-to-back for a powerful executive playbook: Kate helps you decide what matters next—Brian helps you understand what your customers and employees will do next.

What happens when a keynote doesn't just inspire your people…but actually changes how they show up at work and at home? In this episode, Peter Winick sits down with Tara Renze—author, keynote speaker, podcaster, and an emotional intelligence + positive intelligence practitioner—whose message is as simple as it is disruptive: "Be who you came to be." This conversation is about more than motivation. It's about the business case for human growth. Tara breaks down how emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and confidence aren't "soft skills"—they're performance drivers. The kind that shape culture, fuel innovation, and boost retention because people feel seen, valued, and supported. Peter pushes into a real thought leadership challenge: you don't just serve the audience in the seats—you have to serve the economic buyer who funds the initiative. Tara shares how she positions her work so it lands with both. The individual walks away with a mindset shift they can use immediately. The organization gets stronger talent, better leadership, and a healthier culture. Then Tara introduces one of her sharpest ideas: Butterfly Goals. Not the usual SMART goals. Not productivity targets. These are transformational, identity-level goals that reignite creativity and personal ownership. And here's the kicker—companies benefit when employees pursue them, because it strengthens connection, belonging, and momentum across teams. You'll also hear how Tara designs her keynote to be actionable, not just energizing. Tools. Simple shifts. Real-world application. Plus follow-through resources like a downloadable workbook and ongoing "Terrace Tuesday" tips—so the message sticks after the applause. If your thought leadership lives at the intersection of performance, people, and purpose—this one will hit. Because "be who you came to be" isn't a slogan. It's a strategy for better humans and better business. Three Key Takeaways: • Stop chasing better habits. Start building a better identity. The biggest breakthroughs don't come from doing more—they come from becoming someone who leads, performs, and decides differently. • Confidence isn't a trait. It's a skill you can train. When you build emotional intelligence and self-awareness, you create repeatable tools people can use under pressure, not just in perfect conditions. • Culture improves fastest when people bring their whole selves to work. When individuals feel safe to grow and contribute authentically, teams get stronger engagement, better collaboration, and results that actually stick. If this episode sparked ideas around emotional intelligence, confidence, and creating real culture change—not just a great moment in the room—your next listen should be the Melissa Davies episode. It's a practical follow-on that goes deeper into how leadership development actually sticks inside organizations, and how to turn insight into consistent behavior change. Queue it up next and keep the momentum going.

Send us a messageOur minds are constantly being filled - by responsibilities, expectations, information, comparison, fear, and urgency - sometimes all at once. We learn to live with “mental noise” the same way we learn to live with background sound, until it's so constant we forget it's even there. What we think shapes how we live. It influences how we see ourselves, how we respond to others, and how we understand our faith. Renewing the mind isn't about becoming someone else. It's about noticing where our thinking has become rushed, rigid, or rooted in fear rather than truth. It's about allowing ourselves to return to a sense of clarity. So in this episode the invitation is to pay attention to the inner dialogue you've been carrying. Because renewal doesn't begin with answers - it begins with awareness. And the mind is where that work takes its first breath.
