So there's a young, handsome man who's suddenly all over our feeds. Some people say he's going to save America. Others say he's just a very good example of how charisma is the only thing that matters in a politician for the digital age. All we want to know about Zohran Mamdani is: What does he want from us? Also, Reese Witherspoon says the reason we're so bad at dating these days is because we're not watching rom-coms any more. Jessie, Amelia and Holly unpack some of the helpful dating tips they've got from rom-coms and ask: Were we really better at talking to each other in the Sweet Home Alabama era? And, 'smellmaxxing' and its unknowable limits. Now that your average 14-year-old boy has his own 'fragrance wardrobe' and we've all very much accepted that we stink, it was only a matter of time until there was a deodorant for everywhere, including 'down there'.

Fall back in time with Legends Podcast! All month long, we're talking about time travel, paradoxes, and separating out the things that are pleasant from the things that are unpleasant. In 1998, Big and Dave screenwriter Gary Ross made his directorial debut with a quirky comedy starring Tobey Maguire and Reese Witherspoon. The young up-and-coming stars were cast opposite stalwarts William H. Macy, Joan Allen, Jeff Daniels, and J.T. Walsh in a romp through classic television - literally. When a mischievous TV repairman (played, of course, by sitcom legend Don Knotts) sends the Ninties teens into a Fifties Leave It To Beaver knock-off, things only get stranger when their modern sensibilities start turning the black-and-white town all sorts of newfangled colors. Despite positive reviews and a first-place opening weekend, the film ultimately failed to enchant audiences and became a box office flop. Now we're tuning in to see what all the hubbub is about in Pleasantville. But does it belong in reruns, or should we burn every copy we find?

The duo debates Disney's standoff with YouTube TV and which loss would hurt more — a weekend without college or NFL football. Then it's on to golf vs. playing golf, elite egg cookers vs. rice cookers, and which solo show they'd rather see — Billy Gibbons or David Gilmour. Coop flips the script with his own curveballs, from Oprah vs. Reese Witherspoon's gift guides to who'd make the better Kermit in a Miss Piggy movie — Ryan Reynolds or Bill Hader.

Jennifer Aniston’s romance with hypnotist-turned-wellness expert Jim Curtis is developing much faster than fans realize, with friends saying the connection is already serious. Meanwhile, Reese Witherspoon has firmly shut down ongoing rumors that Aniston is still “pining” for Brad Pitt, calling the chatter outdated and untrue. Britney Spears say she’s terrified of ever being placed under another conservatorship, insisting she would “never allow that to happen” as concerns about her emotional stability grow again.

Actor Reese Witherspoon on why she's teamed up with thriller writer Harlan Coben to write a novel called Gone Before Goodbye, about a struck-off army surgeon who uncovers a global conspiracy. Colin Farrell discusses his new film Ballad of a Small Player, about a gambler on the verge of losing everything, which is directed by Oscar winner Edward Berger. What is the best amount of time to look at a work of art? Professor Jennifer Roberts from Harvard University has the answer.

Hollywood star Reese Witherspoon and best-selling author Harlan Coben talk to Brendan about their joint novel – a thriller about an army surgeon who uses her skills to conduct questionable operations for supremely wealthy, international clients... Gone Before Goodbye.

The Widow by John Grisham. Simon Latch is a small time, small town lawyer in Virginia, whose marriage is falling apart, his gambling is out of control, and his legal practice is on the verge of going under. Then an elderly widow arrives on his doorstep, to say that her husband left her millions of dollars in shares, which she wants to keep out of the hands of her estranged stepsons and as she no longer trusts the lawyer who drafted her current will, she wants Simon to help her. He thinks this is the golden ticket that could turn his life around….until she dies in a car crash and he finds himself accused of murder. It's terrific Grisham - less courtroom drama than some of his earlier novels but plenty of intrigue nonetheless. Gone Before Goodbye by Reese Witherspoon and Harlan Coben. These two have collaborated on a novel about a highly skilled surgeon who has been disgraced and can no longer practice, and whose husband has been murdered in the war zone where they used to work together. She's approached by a former colleague to take a job with an oligarch who requires complete anonymity and confidentiality and in return will re-establish her credentials, and pay handsomely for her service. The story moves from war zones and refugee camps, and America to Russia and Dubai where there are wheels within wheels, no one can be trusted, and the tension ratchets up as hidden truths are exposed and the secrets of this underworld are brought to light.

In this special summer episode of the Remarkable Retail podcast, recorded live at the CommerceNext Growth Show in New York, Steve Dennis and Michael LeBlanc from The Remarkable Retail Podcast welcome Jeannie Yoo, CEO of Draper James, for a wide-ranging conversation on the brand's growth trajectory, the power of celebrity in retail, and the rise of human-centric retail experiences.Jeannie brings two decades of fashion retail experience to the table, from her early days at Michael Kors and Coach to leading the luxury house Adam Lippes. Now nine months into her role at Draper James, Yoo is steering the Southern-rooted lifestyle brand—founded by Reese Witherspoon—through its next stage of growth, marked by its 10th anniversary "decade tour" and a sharpened focus on customer connection.Yoo discusses how Draper James defies the "digitally native" label, thriving through retail stores, with licensing and pop-ups that foster personal, local, and sensory experiences. While the brand's celebrity origin story is foundational, Yoo emphasizes how its growth is now powered by inclusive pricing, joyful storytelling, and a culture of Southern hospitality. Reese Witherspoon remains involved, but the brand is scaling under Yoo's operational leadership and with the backing of Consortium Brand Partners.Central to the conversation is Yoo's take on "human-centric retailing"—a strategy rooted in community engagement, elevated in-store experiences, and product innovation informed by customer passions for gardening, books, and food. She describes how Draper James curates joy through both product and experience, emphasizing quality over quantity in an era of fashion abundance. Technology, particularly AI, plays a role, but not the leading one. The focus, she notes, is on enabling smarter, more efficient work—not replacing human intuition or creativity.Looking ahead, Yoo sees North American expansion—especially retail and licensing—as the brand's most significant opportunity before tackling global markets. She also reflects on her leadership style, which has been forged in both large organizations and niche luxury brands, allowing her to scale thoughtfully without losing the emotional resonance that makes Draper James special.

[podcastsponsor] Machine-Generated Transcript What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn – 00:00 In this week’s *In Ear Insights*, let’s talk about events, conferences, trade shows, workshops—the gamut of things that you could get up from your desk maybe, go somewhere else, eat hotel chicken, and enjoy speaking. The big question is this, Katie: In today’s absolutely loony environment, with the economic uncertainty and the budgets and all this and that, are events still worth it? This is a two-part question: Are events still worth it for the attendees, and are events still worth it for companies that want to generate business from events? Katie Robbert – 00:50 It’s a big question. And if our listeners are anything like me, it takes a lot to get them to put on real pants and actually leave the house—something that isn’t sweatpants or leggings or something like that—because you’re spending the time, the resources, the money to go out and actually interact with other people. In terms of an attendee, I think there can be a lot of value, provided you do your homework on who the speakers are, what their expertise is, what they’re promising to teach you in the workshop or the session or whatever the thing is. The flip side of that is it can be worth it for a speaker, provided you know who your audience is, you can create an ICP, and provided you are giving value to the audience. Katie Robbert – 01:54 So if you’re a speaker who has made their whole career on big ideas and thought leadership and all that’s fine, people have a hard time buying something from that and saying, “I know exactly what it is I need to do next.” So there is a time and place for those speakers. But for an attendee to really get value, you need to teach them something. You need to show them how to be very tactical, be very hands-on. That’s where an attendee is going to get more value. So I would say overall, I think events are worth it provided both the attendee and the speaker are doing their homework to make sure they are getting and providing value. Christopher S. Penn – 02:44 Yep. The trifecta has always been speaker, sponsor, attendee. So each entity has their own motivations. And one of the best things that you can do, even before signing up for an event while you’re considering them, is to actually make a user story. So for me, Christopher Penn, as a keynote speaker, I want to speak at, say, Davos, so that I can raise my stature among professional speakers by speaking at the World Economic Forum. That’s just a simple example. It becomes pretty clear then that event fits my “so that,” which maps to the 5P framework. So I have a purpose as a speaker, I have a performance, I have a known outcome that I want. Christopher S. Penn – 03:35 And then I have to figure out: Does the event provide the people, process, and platform to get me to my purpose and achieve the performance that I want? As an attendee, you would do the same thing. One of the reasons why I pretty much never go to events unless I’m speaking at them is because when I do this user story for myself, as an AI data scientist: “I want to learn the latest and greatest techniques and methodologies for using generative AI models so that I can improve the productivity of my work and scale AI faster.” When I use that user story, there’s a single event that matches that user story. None. Zero. Why? Because all of the stuff that fulfills that is not at events. It is in the steady stream of academic papers being published every day. Christopher S. Penn – 04:34 It is in the research that’s being done, in the code repositories that are being published on places like GitHub. And I know myself and how I work. I will get immediate benefit by going to someone’s GitHub repo, checking out the code, and saying, “Okay, well how do I make this work for Trust Insights or this client or that client.” An event doesn’t do that for me. Now, if my story was, “As a speaker, I want to go to this event so that I can network with this group of companies,” that does make sense. But as an attendee, for me, my user story is so specific that events don’t line up for me. Katie Robbert – 05:12 And I think that’s something that, so every year during event season, companies are sending their. They’re like, “Oh, we got three tickets, let’s send three people.” The thing that always bugged me about that wasn’t that they were spending the time to send people, it’s that there was no real action plan. What are they supposed to get out of it? What are they supposed to bring back to the company to help other people learn? Because they’re not inexpensive. You have to get the ticket to the event, then you have to get travel to the event and lodging to the event, and then you have to eat at the event. And some events are better than others about actually feeding people. And so those are just expenses that you have to expect. Katie Robbert – 05:58 And then there’s also the lost time away from client work, away from the day-to-day. And so that’s a sunk cost as well. So all of that adds up to, “Okay, did you just send your employees on a vacation or are they actually getting something out of it that they can bring back to their organization, to their team?” to say this is the latest and greatest. That is a big part of how attendees would get value: What is my KPI? What am I supposed to get out of this? Maybe it’s literally, “My goal is to meet 3 new people.” That’s an acceptable goal, as long as that’s your goal and then you do that. Or my goal is to understand what’s going on with agentic AI as it applies to social media. Katie Robbert – 06:55 Okay, well, those sessions exist. And if you’re not attending those sessions, then you’re probably just standing over at the coffee cart, gossiping with your friends, missing out on the thing that you actually went there to learn. But you need to know what it is that you’re doing in the first place, why are you there. And then figure out what sessions match up with the goals that you have. It sounds like a lot of work. It is. But it’s worth it to do that homework upfront. It’s like anything else. Doing your requirements gathering is going to get you better results when you actually start to execute. Katie Robbert – 07:31 Events can be really overwhelming because there’s a lot going on, there’s a lot of concurrent sessions, there’s a lot of people, there’s a lot of vendors, there’s a lot of booths, whatever. It can be really overwhelming. But if you do your requirements gathering upfront to say, “As a persona, I want to [goal] so that [outcome],” and you look at the agenda and you say, “These are the sessions that are going to help meet my ‘so that,’ meet my performance, help me understand my purpose and get to that goal faster,” then you have a plan. You can at least sort of stay on track. And then everything else is just kind of extra and auxiliary. Katie Robbert – 08:11 As a speaker, again, you have to be thinking about it in those terms. Maybe you create some user stories for attendees from your ICP and you say, “If my ICP is a B2B marketer who’s about a 101, 102 with agentic AI, then what can I teach them that’s going to bring them into my session and give them an immediate takeaway and value?” Christopher S. Penn – 08:41 Yep. One of the—so for those who don’t know, we’re hosting our first event as a company in London on October 31, 2025. If you’re listening to this after that date, pop by the Trust Insights website because we are planning potentially some more events like this. It’s a full-day workshop. And one of the things that is nice about running your own event is you can ask attendees, “What do you want to learn from this?” I was looking at the responses this morning, going, “Wow, this is…” There’s a wide range. But one of the ones that stuck out is exactly what you said, Katie, which is, “I for this event to be…” Christopher S. Penn – 09:21 We asked the question: “For this event to be a success, what is the one thing that you need to come home with?” As this person said, “I need 5 use cases for Generative AI that I can explain to my team for this event to be successful.” One other person said, “I need 1 prototype. Maybe it’s just a prompt, maybe it’s a GPT. I need 1 prototype that I can take back to work and use immediately for this event to be a success.” And that tells me a lot as both an event organizer and as a speaker. That’s what’s expected. Christopher S. Penn – 09:56 That is what is expected now for this kind of thing. If you just go to an event kind of randomly, okay, you don’t know why you’re there. But if you say, “This is my burning question, will this event fulfill this?” it’s a lot more clear. One of the things I think is so useful to do as an attendee is sit down with the beverage of your choice—the sparkling water, whatever—and say, “What do I want to get out of it? What are my goals? What is the thing, regardless of yet? What are my goals for professional development?” Christopher S. Penn – 10:36 If you do that, and then you go to the event webpage and you copy and paste the agenda, you put it into ChatGPT and you can say, “Score the sessions at this event 1 to 10 on their relevance to my professional goals and show me the session title and the score.” It will spit that out. And what you will see is, “Yeah, this is an event I should go to. There’s a lot of sessions that align with my goals,” or, “No, there’s everything on here scoring a 2 or a 3. This is not the event for me.” Conference organizers, if you cannot share the agenda to people for Generative AI, guess what? You are not going to make the cut very shortly for whether or not people even show up at your event. Katie Robbert – 11:21 Well, and here’s the thing. Conferences in general spend a lot of time marketing and massaging the language, and there’s a lot of fluff out there. There’s a lot of, “Oh, that could be interesting.” Or we spent a lot of money making sure people are aware that we have an event at all. So it’s the must attend. It’s the, “We got the big name.” I’m going to pick on Inbound for a minute because Inbound is one of those conferences that has gotten so big that from my perspective, I struggle to see the value as an attendee because it’s so overwhelming. To HubSpot’s credit, HubSpot has the Inbound conference. To HubSpot’s credit, they get big A-list celebrities to do the big stages, which is what draws people in. Katie Robbert – 12:16 As someone who is very skeptical in general and questions everything, I look at that and I say, “Well, what value am I going to get from Gillian Anderson telling me about what I need to know as a B2B marketer?” Probably not a lot other than it would be cool to see someone like Gillian Anderson or Reese Witherspoon or John Krasinski or whoever they have on stage. But they’re not talking to me specifically. So am I really going to get value out of that? But what HubSpot is doing is they’re like, “Hey, we got this big name. Come see them speak and also attend our conference.” There’s nothing wrong with that. They can absolutely do that. And they get a lot of people because they get those big-name celebrities. Katie Robbert – 13:00 But when you really break it down to an individual attendee, I really would challenge you to question: What value am I getting out of that? Because it is such a big, zoo-like experience. It’s gotten really big. How am I getting the most out of it? If you just really want to see a celebrity on stage, that’s fine. There’s nothing wrong with that. That can absolutely be your goal. But if you’re being held to specific KPIs by your manager, by your executives, maybe that’s not the best use of your time. There are so many events out there now, both virtual and in person. So, Chris, what you’re saying is figure out first what it is that you need to be doing, what is your professional development roadmap. Then put the agendas and score them of all of the different events. Katie Robbert – 13:56 That’s how people are going to be choosing where they go. It’s not going to be enough to have a big-name celebrity on stage if they’re not adding any value. Christopher S. Penn – 14:05 And remember, there’s also different classes and kinds of events. So there are trade show events. These are events which are specifically vendor-focused shows where there’s a trade show floor, a big one, and you just go from vendor to vendor, essentially going shopping. I’ve spoken at several of these events and they can be a lot of fun because you get to see the landscape of all the different options in your space. There are conferences which are sort of high level, quick takes on the industry overall and individual topics. And one of our favorites is Marketing Prof B2B forum. You can see what the state of B2B marketing is by going to all these 45 to 60 minute sessions. Christopher S. Penn – 14:45 And then there are workshops, which are a deeper dive—half-day, full-day workshops—which is a deeper dive into a particular topic usually taught by one instructor. And you choose that workshop. That’s sort of the event space. If your goal is deep professional development on topic, an event might not be the choice at all. You might be better off with a course because a course will teach you at a self-paced or instructor-led super deep dive into a topic that even in a full-day workshop you may not have enough time to get to. Or depending on your learning style, you might find even a full-day workshop just overload. Christopher S. Penn – 15:25 I have taught workshops where 60 of the people were fine and 40 people—I checked out at lunch because my brain is full and I can’t put any more in it and stuff. So that’s a whole instructional design; it is a whole different podcast episode. But you have to decide based on my goals: Is an event even the right venue? If your goal, say like our partner John Wall, if your goal is, “I want to be there to network with people,” a workshop ain’t going to do that. A course ain’t going to do that. A conference absolutely will do that. A trade show absolutely is going to do that. So going back to where we started, you’ve got to be clear on your purpose and then say, “Is this event the right one for me?” Katie Robbert – 16:12 So let’s talk a little bit about how attendees can really start to examine. Obviously, kind of putting you on the spot, Chris, but let’s say I’m an attendee and I have two different events that I have to pick from. You’re recommending: First, I would probably do a user story to say this is what I want to get out of it. So, as a marketing analyst, I want to learn how AI can help me do measurement so that I can apply that and find efficiencies in my own work. If that’s my user story, then the next step I’m going to do is I’m going to take that user story as maybe the foundation of the prompt that I’ll build inside of generative AI, whether it be ChatGPT or Gemini, whatever. Katie Robbert – 17:08 And what I’m going to do is say, “This is my user story. These are my goals. Here are the agendas of two different events. Help me figure out which event is more aligned with my goal, and then which sessions or workshops specifically are going to teach me what I want to know.” That’s the way that it sounds like you’re suggesting attendees approach choosing events, which then filters into that larger conversation that you were saying of event organizers. They need to be thinking about: That’s how attendees are going to be making those choices. Christopher S. Penn – 17:45 Exactly right. And if you’re an attendee and maybe you’ve got limited budget, maybe you can’t afford the big show. So, Katie, you were mentioning Inbound. The reality is people who are professional speakers speak at more than one event a year. So you could also commission a deep research project on that speaker and say, “Gosh, Katie Robbert is speaking at this event, but I can’t afford that. Their ticket price is $2,700. What other events does Katie Robbert speak at? Or how do I get in contact with Katie Robbert to ask her straight up, like, ‘Hey, what other events do you speak at?’ Because I can’t afford the big show, but I would still like to hear what you have to say.” Christopher S. Penn – 18:31 You might be surprised. You might even be surprised when the person says, “Well, okay, you can’t afford the super big show at $2,700, but you could take my course for $1,500.” That will give you, frankly, more information than that because the event only gave me 45 minutes on stage, whereas I’m going to give you the full 8 hours at your own base in my course. Other than people who are just starting out, pretty much everybody who is a professional speaker has some other option for you to take advantage of their content. They probably have a course, they probably have a book. They probably have something that will get you access to that knowledge. So absolutely follow that process, Katie. But also if you know, “This person is someone that I can learn from.” Christopher S. Penn – 19:23 But this event overall might not be the best fit, or I don’t see the ROI for $2,700 bucks for a ticket just to see that one person, maybe there’s an alternative. Katie Robbert – 19:34 And that goes to your second question that you asked me: How do speakers get the most value out of events? Well, number one, speaking at as many events as you can is always a good place to start. But it’s not the only thing that you should be doing. So I’m going to pick on you for a hot second, Chris. Every event that we speak at always sends the speaker packet. And within that speaker packet, these events do a really great job of pre-writing social posts saying, “Hey, I’m Chris Penn and I’m speaking at insert thing here, and I’ll be teaching this. Come see me. Here’s a link.” Katie Robbert – 20:14 If you’re a speaker and you’re not taking advantage of those things and telling people where you’re going to be, as attendees get smarter about doing their research, you’re not going to show up in that research. So you as a speaker need to be telling people what you’re doing, where you’re going to be, and then also diversify your content. So make sure you’re not just speaking at events. But also, Chris, to your point, you’re posting more on LinkedIn. Maybe you have a LinkedIn newsletter, maybe you have an email newsletter, maybe you have a YouTube channel, maybe you have a website, maybe you have a book, whatever the thing is. Make sure that whatever session you’re doing at an event also has auxiliary content about it. So think about it the old way we used to think about content on our website. Katie Robbert – 21:06 What was it—the cornerstone content? I don’t know. I don’t remember if that was the term or not. But basically that was like your, “Here’s my main point, here’s the thing.” And then you create a lot of auxiliary pieces around that content that helps support, and you explore it from a bunch of different angles. So if my point is the 5 Ps. Great, that’s my cornerstone content. Let me tell you what it is. But every other piece of content should give you use cases, give you ways to expand it, really dig into how it came about, how people can use it. And all of those should link back to the cornerstone content. The same is true for speakers who have their “here’s my polished keynote speech, here’s my theme, here’s my topic, here’s my thought leadership piece.” Katie Robbert – 21:58 You need to have that auxiliary content. And that’s how you get the most value out of speaking at events. Because people then know who you are, they know what you’re going to teach. Christopher S. Penn – 22:10 And as a speaker, one of the most important things you can do is retain your audience from an event. So you as a speaker have to figure out: How do I get people to remember me come Monday morning when they’ve flown back home? That kind of goes back to where we started this episode in the sense of: What stuff are you going to give people? Are you going to give people a workbook or a worksheet or something other than just the slides? Are you going to give them a GPT? Are you going to give them a Notebook LM? What is the thing? Christopher S. Penn – 22:43 So for example, in our brand new Trust Insights unofficial LinkedIn algorithm guide, which you can get at TrustInsights.ai/LinkedInGuide, we have a Notebook LM with the guide in it because the guide’s like 80 pages long. People can just go right into that Notebook LLM and ask it questions and say, “Now here’s this thing.” As a speaker, for example, I’m doing a workshop next week (well, by the time you hear this, the workshop will be over) for an organization. I’m recording myself. I’m going to record the entire thing, which I always do. In the past, I’ve provided a transcript. Well, guess what’s going to happen this time? Christopher S. Penn – 23:19 I’m still going to provide the transcript, but the transcript is going to go in a Notebook LM along with all the prompts and stuff for the workshop so that the attendees can go to the Notebook LM and say, “Chris discussed this one thing, but I don’t remember what it was and I don’t want to read that 82 pages of text from the transcript from 6 hours of instruction.” They go right to the Notebook and say, “Chris talked about this thing. What was it?” And they can get the answer as though Q&A was available in perpetuity from this workshop. That’s a value add. And of course, in the Notebook, what do you do? You put in reminders. “Hey, if you would like to engage Trust Insights, just pop on my trust.” Christopher S. Penn – 23:56 When you pre-build the audio overview and the video overview and all this as a speaker, these are all things that should be on your list to provide as much value for attendees so that when event season comes around again and that same attendee is going, “Oh, which do I go to, this event or this event? Well, this event’s got Chris Penn and Katie Robbert at it, and I came away with a lot of stuff, so maybe I’ll go to this event.” Katie Robbert – 24:21 We were actually just doing that kind of preparation. We’re teaching a workshop at the Mekon event this year. We’re teaching on measurement and AI. One of the things that we’ve been working on, in addition to the slides, which is pretty stock and standard for any speaker, is also all of the other supplemental materials. So attendees of our specific workshop are walking away with sample data prompts, a whole workbook of everything that we’ve covered. They’re probably going to get the audio recording afterwards. Christopher S. Penn – 24:59 They’re going to get the Notebook LM. Katie Robbert – 25:00 They’re going to get the Notebook LM. They’re going to remember, “Hey, when I took this workshop with them, I got a whole grab bag of stuff. I may not have known what to do with it at the time because it was overwhelming and it’s a lot of information, but I still got it. They still provided me with things that weren’t just high-level concepts and thought leadership. It was very hands-on.” But then I can walk away when I have more time to really think about it and go, “What is it that I want to do with this?” And so the Notebook LM is a really great addition to that as a nice bonus of, “Hey, so I took this workshop. What were the key takeaways? What was I supposed to do with the sample SEO data?” Katie Robbert – 25:39 “Or here’s the prompt that Chris gave me. What was it meant to do?” You’ll get all of that information on your own time. Christopher S. Penn – 25:48 Mm. And that is for speakers and for events, how to demonstrate to an attendee, “This is worth it.” And for the attendee to say, “Hey, what extras will I get?” Because the reality is we are, for good or ill, in very uncertain economic times right now, and budgets are tight. We’ve heard this across the board. We’ve heard from all of our peers. Pipelines are slowing down, deals are taking longer to close, lower deal amounts. If we think like product marketers and we say, “What if this is our price, this is our fee? What can we do to add value on top of that without cutting your fee?” But you can say, “What added value can I give you that will stand out as an event?” And for an attendee, it’s how to decide where to go. Christopher S. Penn – 26:41 What should you be paying attention to? I can say, “Yeah, this is the one for me, because I’m getting all.” Katie Robbert – 26:46 This stuff. And all this stuff is really giving people things, tools they can actually work with. We’ve been talking about the AI strategy course. Within the AI strategy course, there are over 20 downloads with 8 hours of instruction. But if you can’t afford the whole entire 8-hour course, guess what? You can just buy the downloads. You can go to TrustInsights.ai/strategictoolkit. You don’t have to listen to me talk on and on for 8 hours. You can just get the downloads and the workbooks and the calculations and the ROI calculators, all that good stuff. It’s there, and it’s the way that speakers should be thinking about. Even if you’re just doing a 45-minute breakout session, what is that tangible thing that someone’s going to walk away with? Katie Robbert – 27:41 And if it’s just a link to buy your book, that’s not really going to leave a lasting impression of, “That was really good. I totally needed to spend more money to buy a book.” Christopher S. Penn – 27:55 Mm. It occurs to me, and something we’ll do after this episode, that we should probably take the contents of the course and put it in a Notebook LLM for people who bought the full course so that they can ask Virtual Katie questions anytime they want from the AI Strategy course. So I think we went from, “Are events worth it?” to how do we make events worth it for attendees, for speakers, and for event planners. And there are some rich ideas for everybody. But the bottom line is people want value, and whoever provides the most value is going to win—a story as old as time itself.

Jennifer Meyer is the founder and creative director of Jennifer Meyer Jewelry, a fine jewelry brand handmade in Los Angeles. Jennifer's story starts early. At six, she was discovering her love for jewelry while creating pieces with her grandmother. Fast forward: she hustled her way into getting a job at Glamour magazine, then worked in fashion and PR with Ralph Lauren and Giorgio Armani. In 2005, she finally followed her passion she felt for years and launched her brand at her kitchen table, teaching herself everything from molds to pricing. Her big break came when Jennifer Aniston wore the leaf necklace in The Break-Up, and suddenly her pieces were on the shelves at Barneys and Net-a-Porter. Nearly two decades later, Jennifer Meyer Jewelry has become a Hollywood staple, worn by everyone from Reese Witherspoon and Taylor Swift to Selena Gomez and so many more.In today's episode, Jennifer gets real about what it took to build from zero. We talk about how her upbringing & working at a young age shaped her resilience, the scrappy hustle that got her first big break at Glamour, and the leap from side passion to a real business. She shares the chaos of those early orders, the moment Jennifer Aniston put her work on the map, and what it was like to scale while raising her daughter. We dig into money lessons from her dad, why she chose slow and steady growth, and how to bet on yourself when there's no roadmap. Jennifer also opens up about navigating comparison, leaning into social and how it's impacted her business, and redefining what success means to her over the years. If you've ever felt “not enough,” this conversation will remind you that passion, persistence, and kindness can take you farther than you think.In this episode, we'll talk to Jennifer about:* Why staying focused and trusting your passion has guided her career. [02:46]* Early work experiences and family influences that shaped her values. [05:26]* Building work ethic and discipline from a young age. [09:06]* From Glamour to Ralph Lauren and the lessons she carried forward. [12:05]* The pivotal decision to pursue jewelry design full-time. [20:04]* Confronting fear and taking the leap into entrepreneurship. [22:59]* Scrappy beginnings and the early challenges of launching her brand. [26:40]* How Jennifer Aniston wearing her jewelry became a breakthrough moment. [29:00]* Landing Barneys at the same time and learning how to manage momentum. [32:26]* Balancing motherhood and entrepreneurship from the very start. [39:29]* Why investing in yourself is always worth it. [45:07]* The importance of leading with kindness and authenticity.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are BACK FOR OUR NINTH SEASON OF THE SHOW! And we're kicking off with a real doozy. Everyone and their mother knows the infamy of this one. That's right...we're doing Jeff Richard's first episode as a cast member. Lord help us. I guess this one is also kinda notable for being the first episode of SNL post 9/11. I suppose that's why they got Rudy Giuliani there in the cold open. And probably why Paul Simon sings The Boxer. But really, it was at this time that the nation turned it's lonely eyes to Jeff Richards. How will Jeff Richards meet the moment? What will he say? We explore this fascinating moment in time where one man dared to stand up and say, "what if a baby farted a lot".

Statistically, your odds of becoming an astronaut are close to zero. You have to make some pretty extreme sacrifices to reach the stars, and that's the thrust of a new novel about the first Cherokee astronaut. To the Moon and Back is Eliana Ramage's debut novel and the September pick for Reese Witherspoon's book club. It's a book about ambition and astronauts, but it's also about what it means to be Indigenous … in the past, present, and future. This week, Eliana tells Mattea about loving the story of science, writing frustrating characters and why she's taking Cherokee identity to Mars. Liked this conversation?
