Send us a textA deadly crash at UPS's Louisville hub put crisis leadership under a microscope—and the first 24 hours told a powerful story about timing, empathy, and restraint. We invited Michele Ehrhart, former VP of Global Communications at FedEx and author of Crisis Compass, to unpack how the early communications played out in this heartbreaking incident. We walk through the initial statements that landed within hours: awareness first, compassion next, and a clear handoff to the NTSB as the authority on cause and timeline. From there, we explore why “do no harm” is more than a slogan—it's a filter that keeps leaders from filling silence with speculation. You'll hear how family hotlines, verified safety guidance, and precise update cadence support trust when uncertainty is high, and why a CEO video isn't an automatic lever on day one.Our guest, Michele Ehrhart is author of the new crisis guide book, Crisis Compass, available now. She is Chief Marketing and Communications Officer at the University of Memphis, and also serves as CEO at Hart Communications, a reputation management firm. We'd love to hear from you.

Six months on from “Liberation Day” and with tariffs still six times higher than at the start of the year, how has the global economy responded and what happens next? Initially billed as a way to rebuild supply chains, bring manufacturing back onshore, and reduce US dependence on imports, the reality has proven more complex. In this episode of The Quick Take, we speak to Anais Caldwell-Jones (Principal at LCP and member of our macroeconomic team) to explore how other major economies have responded to US tariffs, what is the impact on the macroeconomic picture, the market reaction so far, and what investors should be on the lookout in the near future.

Josh prepares some Quick Takes for Adam and Jordana with Adrian Peterson unfortunately in the news again, another classic heist movie in the works and more! Then we debate on whether you are too old to wear sports jerseys!

Dan is flying solo this week because Ellen is recovering from knee-replacement surgery. But fear not — she's behind the scenes making sure this episode gets recorded properly, and she edited what you are listening to. She'll be back on the air soon. Our guest is Rick Goldsmith, a veteran filmmaker who has taken a close look at the state of corporate journalism in America. His documentary "Stripped for Parts: American Journalism on the Brink" tells the story of Alden Global Capital, the secretive hedge fund that has bought up many of our greatest newspapers and stripped them of their real estate and slashed their newsrooms. He focuses on one of Alden's papers, The Denver Post, and the rise of The Colorado Sun, a digital startup begun by former Post journalists. The story of what happened in Colorado is also one that Ellen and I tell in our book, "What Works in Community News." The reason we're having Rick on now is that you'll be able to watch "Stripped for Parts" through December 31st for free on the PBS app, which you can access through Apple TV, Roku, Google Play and most smart TVs.  Dan has a Quick Take about Jay Rosen, who retired earlier this year from New York University and is now taking on a new challenge. Jay is probably best known to his younger followers as an incisive media critic. But his true passion, going back to the 1990s, is finding ways to involve members of the public in the production of journalism. Now he's doing it again — and it could have implications for local news.

The 10 Second Takeaway: DraftKings and other online sports betting platforms are losing market share to predictive markets. DraftKings (Nasdaq: DKNG) and FanDuel (owned by Flutter Entertainment (NYSE: FLUT)) have enjoyed more than 80% share for years in America's online sports betting market duopoly.But now they're adjusting to a new player who's recently joined their table.Privately-held Kalshi has a reserved seat to allow gamblers to bet on sporting events. Yet this isn't the same as its larger peers, and its new approach is taking the industry by storm.Kalshi isn't just another online sports book. It is technically an exchange who sells financial products that are tied to the outcomes of sporting events.That legal distinction is important, because Kalshi and other predictive market platforms are regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission at the federal level. That's quite different from online sports betting platforms, who are regulated by each individual state.DraftKings and FanDuel have been lobbying endlessly on a state-by-state basis, trying not only to get their apps legalized but also for them to have consistent tax rates. Even after decades of operations, online sports betting is still only legal in 38 states + the District of Columbia.Yet Kalshi's financial products are available in all 50 states and have quickly sidestepped the traditional book of rules.As expected, the money is flowing to what's more universally available. The NY Times reported that Kalshi facilitated more than $2.5 billion worth of sports contracts in September alone, with the majority being on NFL games.That's a pretty formidable number, especially when considering the total cash handle for all sports betting last year was around $150 billion.There are political ties here as well. Kalshi named Donald Trump Jr as a strategic advisor one week before the president's inauguration, and the Trump Administration further issued tax cuts that are financially advantageous for future contracts as compared to traditional gambling.I don't personally see much of a difference between prediction market financial contracts and online sports bets. They're pretty much identical in function and are placed in exactly the same way within the apps by users.Yet in this highly-regulated industry, Kalshi and its predictven market peers appear to have been given a Trump Card. And that's providing an important edge that is causing it to win big at the expense of others.DraftKings will report its third quarter earnings in early November. I'll grab a front row seat and some popcorn, eager to see how this game will ultimately play out. See all of our coverage on DraftKings at 7investing.com/DKNG

In this episode, I speak with Susan Roth, Senior Director of Marketing at Netrality Data Centers, about her remarkable journey from marketing leader to AI agent builder. Susan shared how she went from being uncertain about AI's role in marketing to becoming a pioneer in building sophisticated AI workflows and agents, while managing a small marketing team and investing significant personal time and resources into her education.What makes Susan's story particularly compelling for healthcare technology marketers is her practical approach to implementation. She's not just theorizing, she's actively using it to transform how a small marketing team operates. From editing video in minutes instead of hours to creating automated research workflows that cost just $1.50 per execution, Susan demonstrates how AI agents can enable small teams to compete at scale. She also offers a pragmatic yet optimistic view of AI's impact on the workforce, emphasizing that organizations will need people to manage and maintain these systems, and that the key is learning to work alongside AI rather than being replaced by it.For marketing leaders feeling overwhelmed by AI's rapid evolution, Susan's advice is straightforward: start small with low-risk use cases, embrace discomfort as part of the learning process, and remember that AI literacy is an ongoing journey rather than a destination. Her most important message is to "do it scared"—because waiting on the sidelines is no longer an option for marketers who want to remain competitive.Key Topics Covered[00:00:00] - Introduction[00:02:00] - Discovering AI as a Human Evolution Story[00:06:00] - Learning Resources: Marketing Profs B2B Forum[00:09:00] - Shifting Behavior: From Search Engine to Strategic Partner[00:10:00] - Introduction to Agentic Workflows[00:12:00] - The AI Build Lab: Four-Week Foundations Course[00:16:00] - The Builder Mindset for Marketers[00:18:00] - Key Tools: Notion, Typing Mind, and Cassidy[00:20:00] - Daily AI Applications in Marketing Work[00:21:00] - Use Cases: Research, Content Creation, and Video Production[00:25:00] - Building 50 Agents: From Research to Email[00:28:00] - The Cipher Agent: Automated Sales Research Workflow[00:31:00] - AI Adoption: Strategic Use vs. Individual Tools[00:33:00] - The Future of Marketing Teams: Humans and Agents Working Together[00:35:00] - The "Do More with Less" Question and Workforce Implications[00:37:00] - The Importance of Hiring and Training Young People[00:39:00] - Advice for Getting Started: Pick One Small Use Case[00:40:00] - Learning to Prompt and Using AI to Teach AI[00:41:00] - The Ongoing Journey: Being Comfortable with Being UncomfortableIf you are interested in discussing this or any other topic, let's have a chat.  Reach out to me directly to schedule a no-obligation discussion.

It's evident that we're living in the end times, and all that entails with the closing of this dispensational era. The most significant aspect of the end of the church age is the rapture of the New Testament church. However, is there scriptural evidence to support this claim? In this concise response, we address a question posed by a believer regarding the rapture. #fyp #viral #trending #explorepage #OctoberSupport the show

Dan and Ellen talk with Tracy Baim, a Chicago-based journalist who directed the recently published LGBTQ+ Media Mapping Project, which tracks LGBTQ news outlets across the country. The LGBTQ+ Media Mapping Project was created in partnership with the MacArthur Foundation, the Local Media Foundation, News Is Out and the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY. The project surfaced 107 LGBTQ media outlets in total, 80 of which responded to the survey. According to the accompanying report: “While they may have few similarities, there are several common denominators: Most are in need of additional resources to better cover their communities, and most are facing strong headwinds as advertising and sponsors reverse course, pulling back from diverse marketing efforts.” She's also the executive director of Press Forward Chicago, the local arm of a national philanthropic effort to address the community news crisis.  Dan has a Quick Take about the state of Kansas, where authorities have banned print newspapers, a ban that affects some 9,000 inmates in 20 correctional facilities.  Ellen's Quick Take is on a column in the Minnesota Star Tribune written by Steve Grove, the CEO and publisher. He writes about the "stabilizing power of quality journalism” and announces a new team in the newsroom devoted to investigative reporting. But he also announces the outsourcing of the Strib's print product, which means job losses.
