In this episode of Better Merch… Better Marketing, Kirby Hasseman and Jade Crider explore why investing in quality can make all the difference when it comes to branded merchandise and marketing. The conversation begins with a fun discussion around products that were truly worth the splurge. From premium drinkware and apparel to backpacks and speakers, Kirby and Jade share promotional products they've personally used that exceeded expectations—and why quality merchandise creates a lasting impression that cheap giveaways simply can't. They also provide an update on this year's Rock Your Merch Show, highlighting what's new, offering tips to help attendees get the most out of the event, and explaining why now is the perfect time to register. Finally, Kirby shares an honest perspective on something many business owners struggle with: taking time away from work. Together, they discuss why stepping away from the office often leads to better decisions, fresh perspective, and healthier business growth—and why sometimes the biggest obstacle to moving a business forward is the business owner themselves. The episode also features the Product of the Week: the EZ Breezy Neck Fan, a practical promotional product that's perfect for outdoor events, company outings, and warm-weather promotions. Whether you're looking for better promotional products, stronger branding, or smarter marketing ideas, this episode is packed with practical insights you can put to work right away.

Recommending the wrong whiskey to a loyal customer does not just miss a sale. It breaks trust, and once trust breaks, no amount of personalization copy fixes it. Recorded live at K:LDN 2026 in London, this conversation is about the thing every brand now has in common. Everyone has access to the same AI tools. So what actually separates the brands winning with them from the ones just using them? Phillip Jackson sits down with Jake Cohen, VP of Insights at Klaviyo, and Tim Martin-Harvey, Head of Ecommerce at The Bottle Club, a UK multi-brand alcohol retailer carrying roughly 9,500 products. Their answer: memory. Not the AI kind, the brand kind… meaning the stored, structured context a business builds about its own customers and products over time. Tim explains how one mandatory checkout question, asking whether an order is a gift, for self-consumption, for hosting, or for trade, reshaped his customer insight and exposed why standard RFM and lifetime value metrics break down across different buyer types. Jake widens the lens, arguing that loyalty is better measured through engagement across touchpoints than through money spent, and that the brands seeing real gains from AI are the ones writing customer and product knowledge down as reusable context, what Klaviyo calls "artifacts." The conversation gets specific fast, down to the exact wrong recommendation that can cost a brand its credibility, and closes with Jake's straightforward plan for putting this into practice over the next 90 days. What you'll learn Why context, not performance marketing spend, is becoming the real competitive moat as every brand adopts the same AI tools How one checkout question corrected years of wrong assumptions about who buys and why at The Bottle Club Why standard RFM and lifetime value segmentation breaks down once you separate gift buyers from self-consumption buyers Why loyalty is better read through engagement than through total spend The exact kind of recommendation mistake that destroys customer trust, and how layered product data prevents it Jake Cohen's 30/60/90 day plan for building AI context that compounds over time Key takeaways As every brand uses the same AI tools, the real differentiator becomes stored context, meaning written detail about the brand, the customer, and the products, what Klaviyo calls "artifacts." The Bottle Club added one mandatory checkout question (gift, self-consumption, hosting, or trade), which corrected wrong assumptions about which products are gifts and showed that standard RFM and lifetime value metrics break down across different buyer types. Loyalty reads better through engagement across touchpoints than through money spent. The goal is asking the right questions instead of pushing a discount, then building context on each customer over time. Recommendations get dramatically stronger when product data (margin, weeks of cover, gift versus self-consumption, category nuance) is layered onto customer data. Recommend a Jack Daniels to a lifelong Jameson drinker and you have made, in Tim's own framing, the worst recommendation possible, one that costs more than the sale. Jake's plan: set up a service agent and build its skills first, then use Composer to explore your data and test ideas, then keep improving the skills as you learn, since the value compounds over time. Pull quotes "The word of the moment to me is actually context, and that context, if you can store it effectively and leverage it effectively, is the way that you can create a moat, because you can serve more people more personally, more memorably, which will create deeper relationships and, of course, more durable business over time." — Jake Cohen, VP of Insights, Klaviyo [2:08 to 3:04] "What starts to become very important in the world of AI post LLMs is that the most important thing a brand can do is show up for someone the way that they need when they need it." — Jake Cohen [9:09] "I genuinely think Klaviyo agent makes the most sense to be the agentic storefront, and that's not just me Klaviyo championing it. It's genuinely got the most context from multiple sources." — Tim Martin-Harvey, Head of Ecommerce, The Bottle Club [18:49 to 19:48] "The answer should not be, 'Great, here's 10% off, go buy one.' The answer should be, 'How long are you running? Do you have a color you're interested in? Do you have a race coming up?' As you start to collect that information, that helps build the context for that individual, and they become the type of customer that will stay with you for a lifetime." — Jake Cohen [10:26] Chapters 0:00 Cold open and introductions 4:45 Memory is the new moat, why context beats tools 8:00 The checkout question that rewrote The Bottle Club's customer data 9:15 Why RFM analysis breaks down across buyer types 10:40 Showing up for the customer the way they need, when they need it 12:15 The running shoe example, questions over discounts 19:08 The whiskey mistake, the worst recommendation in retail 20:38 Why Klaviyo believes it can power the agentic storefront 21:18 Jake's plan for the next 90 days In-Show Mentions: The Bottle Club Learn more about Klaviyo's Composer Associated Links: Check out Future Commerce on YouTube Check out Future Commerce Plus for exclusive content and save on merch and print Subscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce world Listen to our other episodes of Future Commerce Have any questions or comments about the show?

Introduction Most sales conversations about underperformance start with the wrong question. Is the messaging wrong? Is the tech stack outdated? Is the lead generation broken? Richard Spanier, author of Trust: Sales 2030 — A Field Guide to Frictionless Buying, argues that almost every assumption modern sales operates on, quotas, champions, gated content, CRM accuracy, pipeline stages, gets the buyer's reality backwards. In this episode of TheInquisitor Podcast, Marcus Cauchi presses Richard on what a genuinely frictionless buying process looks like in practice, and why he believes the systems most sales leaders rely on are built to manage the illusion of control rather than the reality of how people buy. Why This Conversation Matters Sales has spent decades optimising the seller's side of the transaction: better scripts, better cadences, better personalisation at scale. Richard's argument is that none of this addresses the underlying problem, which is that buyers do their own research, reach their own conclusions, and resent being pushed through somebody else's process. If that's true, a huge amount of sales infrastructure, from quotas to lead scoring to discovery calls, is solving the wrong problem. This conversation matters because it asks sales leaders to consider a genuinely uncomfortable possibility: that activity-based management is not just inefficient, it is actively corrosive to the thing buyers say they want most from a seller, which is trust. Guest Introduction Richard Spanier has spent 45 years in and around sales, 30 of them selling directly in the telecommunications equipment industry and 15 consulting. He has just published Trust: Sales 2030 — A Field Guide to Frictionless Buying, which sets out his case for redesigning the buying experience around the buyer's own momentum rather than the seller's targets. Major Discussion Points Sales has a trust problem, not a tech problem. Richard traces his thinking back to a client who rejected the standard personalisation playbook outright, which started him investigating why buyers were resistant in the first place. His conclusion: trust is being lost in the basic dynamic of a seller pushing and a buyer resisting. Frictionless by design. Rather than a faster funnel, Richard proposes redesigning the buying environment itself, including landing pages that let buyers build their own picture of a solution using their own inputs, with no email gate and no follow-up surveillance. Compensation built around the team, not the individual. Richard's proposal: take the profit on a deal and split it equally among everyone who touched it, from CSR to AE to sales engineer to manager. Marcus pushes this further, arguing that 20-account pods with deep account research outperform sprawling 200-account territories. Risk, not pain, is the real decision driver. Both Marcus and Richard argue that most sales methodologies focus on the supply side (pain, budget, authority, need) while ignoring the functional, social and personal risk the buyer is carrying internally, long after the seller has left the room. CRM and pipeline data are largely fiction. Richard estimates CRM accuracy at around 20 to 25 percent. Marcus argues even that may be generous, pointing out that CRM exists primarily to give management an illusion of control rather than to help sellers sell. Referrals: systematise or not? A genuine disagreement. Richard is sceptical that referrals can be systematised, arguing they have to be earned rather than requested. Marcus pushes back, describing how multi-threading and mapping a customer's wider ecosystem can make referral generation deliberate rather than accidental. Recommending the competition. Both agree that being honest about when you are the wrong vendor, and pointing the buyer elsewhere, builds more long-term trust and referral value than trying to win every deal. Practical Takeaways Stop gating content behind forms. If something is genuinely useful to a buyer, give it to them without an email capture. Track what the buyer has done in the last fortnight, not what the seller has done. Buyer-initiated movement is the real signal. Build smaller, deeply researched account pods rather than broad, shallow territories. When you are not the right fit, say so and point to who is. It is more likely to generate referrals than trying to win regardless. Stop letting "champion" stand in for "decision maker." A champion who will not defend you in the room they cannot bring you into is not a champion. Memorable Quotes "I was gobsmacked... the solutions I saw for personalisation were clumsy." "Commission breath... what is more emblematic of distrust than that?" "Stop calling a friendly contact a champion." "It's like turning the Queen Elizabeth around in the Thames." "Don't embrace rejection. You learn from it. You don't embrace it. How crazy is that?"

Adrian Wooldridge concludes by recommending a "remoralization" of meritocracy, where those with talent view their abilities as a public duty rather than just a source of personal reward. He warns against abandoning objective testing (like the SAT), arguing that lotteries or subjective admissions are more "gameable" by the privileged. Finally, he stresses that the West must purify its meritocratic systems to compete with China's "examination state," which has successfully linked its ancient testing traditions with modern science and technology. Without internal reform, the current meritocracy remains vulnerable to global competition. 81825

In this episode of The Inquisitor Podcast, Marcus speaks with returning guest Matt Gaskin about a shift most businesses still haven't recognised properly: AI search is changing how buyers discover and evaluate suppliers. Matt argues that your website is no longer just a marketing brochure. It is now a trust and credibility signal for AI systems like OpenAI's ChatGPT, Google Gemini, xAI Grok, and Perplexity AI. The conversation began after Matt shut down his Google and Facebook ads because they generated huge amounts of noise, poor-fit enquiries, and almost no conversions. That forced him to ask a difficult question: “If a real buyer asked AI who to recommend in my market, would my business even appear?” The answer was no. What followed was a six-month investigation into how AI systems evaluate businesses online, what creates trust signals, and why many websites unintentionally confuse both buyers and AI models. Marcus and Matt explore: Why visibility and recommendation are not the same thing How unclear messaging creates “entity drift” and confuses AI systems Why FAQs, buyer answers, case studies and authority signals matter more than flashy design The risks of generic “we serve everyone” positioning How businesses accidentally train AI to attract the wrong customers Why many websites are still built for Google's old SEO model rather than AI recommendation engines The hidden technical and strategic problems that stop businesses appearing in AI-generated shortlists What founders, sales leaders and marketers should audit immediately Matt also explains why smaller specialist firms can still outperform larger competitors in AI search by being clearer, more specific, and more useful. This is not a conversation about gaming algorithms. It is a conversation about clarity, trust, buyer intent, and whether your digital presence genuinely reflects the value your business provides. If you suspect your marketing generates activity but not meaningful opportunities, this episode will probably make you uncomfortable in all the right ways. connect with Matt Matt Gaskin | LinkedIn connect with Marcus Marcus Cauchi | LinkedIn

Send us Fan MailTwo episodes ago, a Florida builder went from a 16% ChatGPT citation rate to 72% in a matter of months. This episode answers the question everyone kept asking: how? In this solo follow-up, Anya Chrisanthon - CCO at Anewgo - breaks down Answer Engine Optimization in plain language, no jargon, no tech degree required.SEO vs. AEO SEO gets you found in a list. AEO gets you recommended as the answer. When a buyer asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini for a builder like you, AI doesn't return ten options - it picks one or two. If your digital presence doesn't give AI enough specific, consistent, verifiable information to recommend you with confidence, it moves on to a builder whose story it can actually tell.Why most builder websites are invisible to AI right now Vague taglines, generic community descriptions, inconsistent naming across platforms, and missing pricing all create uncertainty for AI. Uncertain AI doesn't recommend you. And with ChatGPT now rolling out ads in the US, the landscape is shifting even faster.What AEO-ready actually looks like Specific community names, locations, and price points. Real buyer descriptions that go beyond demographics. Differentiators that are stated, not implied. Consistency across your website, Google Business profile, social presence, and any third-party coverage. Earned media - reviews, press, industry recognition - because AI gains confidence when your claims are reinforced by sources outside your own website.Three things to do this week (1) Search for yourself the way your ideal buyer would - in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, or Claude. (2) Read your own website like a stranger - could AI accurately describe who you are and who you build for? (3) Get an AEO assessment from Anewgo - email your website URL to beth@anewgo.com, subject line "AEO Assessment."
The donor egg recommendation rarely comes after a complete workup. It comes after AMH, FSH, and an antral follicle count. That is usually where the investigation stops. In this episode, Sarah Clark walks through what is missing from the workup before women are told donor eggs are their only path: the full thyroid panel, not just TSH. Stool DNA testing for H. pylori, parasites, and food sensitivities. The vaginal microbiome. The male partner's blood work, which most clinics do not run. The nervous system patterns most REIs do not connect to fertility. Sarah shares Rebecca's case as a proof point. Rebecca was 27. Her AMH was 0.04 ng/mL. POI diagnosis. Told donor eggs were her only option. Her stool DNA testing revealed H. pylori and a parasite. Her food sensitivity testing showed gluten, dairy, and egg intolerance. She had adrenal insufficiency, thyroid imbalance, mineral depletion, and toxic load on her workup. Her eczema, migraines, and asthma were not separate issues. After targeted work, she conceived naturally in month five. Outcomes vary. Rebecca's case is one of many we use to illustrate what completing the workup can look like. This episode is for the woman sitting with a donor egg recommendation who is not ready to agree before she understands what was actually evaluated. The goal is clarity. Not opposition to your clinic. Not a guarantee of any outcome. Clarity on what your workup did not include, so that whatever you decide next gets made on the full picture. What this episode covers: The diagnosis is real. The investigation is incomplete. Why TSH alone is not a thyroid panel. H. pylori, hidden food sensitivities, and the gut inflammation driver. Eczema, migraines, and asthma as fertility signals. The male partner's workup should include beyond a semen analysis. Nervous system patterns most REIs do not connect to fertility. Next steps: Access the free guide: What Your Clinic Missed.

Your pool problems might not be a “bad product” or a “bad test kit” problem. Sometimes the real issue is simple: the homeowner is unknowingly sabotaging the pool between service visits. We walk through the patterns we see constantly in the field and how they snowball into cloudy water, stubborn algae, and chemistry that never seems to hold.We start with pool filters, because filtration problems hide in plain sight. DE filters get opened with no diatomaceous earth at all, or they get overloaded with way too much DE. Cartridge filters go years without a replacement until the pleats are blown out and the element is basically done. We also talk sand filters, including what happens when someone never backwashes for years and why backwashing too often can actually reduce performance.Then we hit the chemical trap: trichlor tablets and rising cyanuric acid (CYA). When customers run multiple floaters packed with tablets, CYA can climb so high the pool becomes impossible to manage with normal chlorine targets. Finally, we cover the daily-operation sabotages that drive pool pros crazy: consistently low water levels and customers who cut pump runtime to two or four hours a day. We share tools like simple autofill options, plus real strategies to get buy-in, including linking poor circulation to higher chemical cost and even splitting timer schedules to reduce resistance. • Customers cleaning filters without understanding DE dosing and basic filter function• DE filters running with no DE or far too much DE• Cartridge and DE grid replacement neglected for years, causing chronic poor filtration• Sand filters ruined by never backwashing, plus why over-backwashing also hurts performance• Excess trichlor tablet use driving cyanuric acid too high to manage normally• Using the free chlorine to CYA relationship to explain why the pool needs more chlorine• Recommending partial or full drains to reset CYA, TDS, and overall water balance• Low water levels reducing skimming and circulation, plus simple autofill options• Customers cutting pumpSend us Fan MailSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

7investing founder Simon Erickson explains why his firm just re-added NuScale Power (NYSE:SMR) to its scorecard — a stock they originally recommended in 2022, sold in December 2023, and are now buying back at $12/share. The thesis centers on a seismic shift in energy demand: AI data centers are now consuming power at gigawatt scale, and the list of viable baseload solutions is extremely short. With natural gas, solid oxide fuel cells from Bloom Energy (NYSE:BE), and small modular reactors as essentially the only technologies capable of delivering 5+ gigawatts of emissions-free on-demand power, NuScale's position as the sole NRC-certified SMR design in the United States has become dramatically more valuable than it was when Simon first recommended it.The key new catalyst is a $400 million Department of Energy grant awarded to the Tennessee Valley Authority, which then partnered with the Intra-1 utility to target up to 6 gigawatts of nuclear power deployment — with NuScale as the strategic technology partner. Simon walks through why this partnership alone could represent a $50 billion+ capital project and potentially a 20-bagger from current prices, while also detailing the very real risks: cost overruns (the original Utah project collapsed when SMR power costs jumped from $58 to $89 per megawatt hour), regulatory uncertainty, long timelines of 5–10 years to operational status, and the financial pressure on a company generating only $31 million in annual revenue.Simon also reviews the prior energy companies on 7investing's watch list — including Schneider Electric (EPA:SU) for power systems infrastructure and Bloom Energy (NYSE:BE), which has surged 125%+ since being highlighted in March 2026 — and explains why SMRs specifically fit a demand need that solar, wind, and even fuel cells can't fully address at scale.Stocks Mentioned:NuScale Power (NYSE:SMR)Bloom Energy (NYSE:BE)Schneider Electric (EPA:SU)Oracle (NYSE:ORCL)Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META)Constellation Energy (NASDAQ:CEG)Southern Company / Georgia Power (NYSE:SO)#NuScalePower #SMR #SmallModularReactors #NuclearEnergy #NuclearStocks #EnergyStocks #AIDataCenters #BloomEnergy #GrowthStocks #StocksToWatch #CleanEnergy #StockAnalysis #7investing #Simonerickson
Send us Fan MailWhy AI Is Recommending Some Builders and Ignoring Others: The Case StudyA regional home builder in a competitive Florida market was being cited by ChatGPT 16% of the time when buyers asked real questions like "who are the best new home builders in this area?" A few months later, after a focused initiative with Anewgo, that number was 72%. Same builder. Same market. Same competitors.In this solo episode, Anya Chrisanthon - CCO at Anewgo and host of the Anewgo of New Home Sales podcast - breaks down exactly what was measured, what changed, and what it means for builders and marketers who are paying attention to where buyer search behavior is heading.What Anewgo Tracked Anewgo ran 50 real buyer-intent questions through ChatGPT and Gemini and measured three things: mentions (how often the builder was named at all), citations (how often their website was used as a trusted source), and top recommendations (how often they appeared in the top spots). Citations matter most. A mention means AI knows you exist. A citation means AI trusts you enough to point a buyer directly to your content. Those are not the same thing.The Results On ChatGPT, the citation rate jumped from 16% to 72% - a 56 percentage point increase. The number one ranking rate went from 7% to 36%. Top three ranking rate went from 16% to 59%. On Gemini, citation rate went from 25% to 63%. And during the same period, average website engagement time nearly doubled - from 51 seconds to just under two minutes - because the content wasn't just AI-friendly. It was genuinely useful to real buyers.The Philosophy The goal was never to trick AI or game the system. Anyone telling you they can game AI recommendation engines is not someone you should trust with your marketing budget. The goal was to make this builder genuinely easier for AI to understand, verify, and confidently recommend - through content that answers real buyer questions and clarity about what the builder actually offers and who they build for.Why Most Builder Websites Are Invisible to AI Right Now Most builder websites were built for two audiences: human visitors and Google. AI reads your website differently than either. It is trying to build a mental model of your business - who you are, who you build for, where you build, what makes you different. Vague taglines, generic community descriptions, and inconsistent information across your digital presence create uncertainty for AI. And uncertain AI does not recommend you. It moves on.Three Things to Do This Week:(1) Search for yourself the way a buyer would - open ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini and ask for a builder like you in your market with specific criteria. See what comes up. (2) Read your own website like a stranger - is your brand story specific and consistent? Could AI accurately summarize your communities and differentiators to a buyer? (3) Get an AEO assessment from Anewgo - email your website URL to beth@anewgo.com with subject line "AEO Assessment." No obligation. Beth will reach out with the report and a time to walk through the results together.Next episode: a deeper dive into AEO itself - what it is, what good AEO looks like in practice, and the broader framework for thinking about this for your business.About Anewgo Anewgo is an all-in-one new home sales and marketing platform.

In this Write Big episode, Jennie Nash is joined by AJ Harper, author of Write a Must-Read: Craft a Book That Changes Lives—Including Your Own, to talk about a more meaningful way to define success as a writer. AJ shares her concept of writing a “Top Three” book—one that becomes a reader's personal favorite, the kind they keep forever, recommend constantly, and return to again and again. Together they explore why chasing external metrics like speed, bestseller lists, or book deals can distract from what really matters, and how focusing on writing something truly beloved often leads to those wins anyway.

TYPHOONS, KAMIKAZES, AND UNFORGIVING WARFARE Colleague Craig Symonds. Halsey's aggression led to disaster when he twice steered the fleet into typhoons, causing significant loss of life and ships. Despite inquiries recommending Halsey's removal, Nimitz retained him to maintain public morale. The war grew grimmer with the invasion of Iwo Jima, where Marines felt unsupported by naval gunfire, and the emergence of Kamikaze suicide attacks off Okinawa. Nimitz, now based in Guam, observed the terrifying effectiveness of the Kamikazes, which he noted was the only wartime development the Naval War College had failed to anticipate.
