Retail media has evolved incredibly quickly over the last few years, but the conversation has also become far more financially scrutinized. From your perspective, what phase is the industry actually entering now?A lot of retailers rushed to launch retail media networks, but many are now discovering that building ad inventory is very different from building a scalable media business. What are the biggest structural mistakes you see retailers making today?Brands continue shifting budget into retail media, but many executives are starting to question incrementality, duplication, and measurement consistency across networks. What are brands asking for now that they were not asking for even 18 months ago?One of the biggest tensions in retail media right now is the relationship between trade spend and media spend. How do you think CFOs and commercial leaders should be reevaluating the role retail media plays inside the broader P&L?As Amazon, Walmart, and Instacart continue to scale, what does the future look like for mid-sized and regional retail media networks? Do you see consolidation coming, or are there areas where smaller RMNs can still build defensible advantages?
During World War II, the US government asked the Japanese American citizens it interned two questions: Would you serve in the US armed forces wherever ordered? And would you swear “unqualified allegiance” to the U.S. and forswear any allegiance to Japan's emperor? Those two so-called loyalty questions animate acclaimed novelist Karen Tei Yamashita's latest book, which explores that historical period of state-sanctioned violence against immigrants and citizens alike — and how this notion of “loyalty” divided, antagonized, imprisoned and expelled Japanese Americans during World War II, with long-term ramifications. Following three generations of Japanese Americans before, during and after internment, the novel is formatted as the archived letters, poetry and oral histories of Japanese Americans real and imagined. We'll talk with Yamashita about her own family's story and about the novel's unfortunate relevance today. It's called “Questions 27 & 28.” Learn more about your ad choices.

Matt Butts, Head of Marketing Science at Samsung Ads Europe, joins That's What I Call Marketing to discuss marketing science, incrementality, connected TV measurement and why rigorous testing matters more than a positive result. This episode explains how marketers can move beyond convenient metrics, design better experiments and connect advertising activity to meaningful business outcomes. Matt also explores how changing television behaviours are reshaping media planning, audience measurement and the role of connected TV.In this episode, we cover:– Why marketers often measure metrics without questioning whether they matter– The difference between basic A/B testing and genuine incrementality testing– Why the quality of the test matters more than whether the result is positive– How marketing scientists translate complex analysis into commercial decisions– How Samsung Ads measures viewing across linear television, streaming and gaming– Why reported reach can hide significant audience duplication– How incremental reach can reduce media waste and identify missed audiences– The role of connected TV data in advertising planning and measurement– Why marketers need to communicate measurement differently to CMOs, CFOs and media teams– How rigorous measurement helped one advertiser move from zero investment to a seven-figure commitmentMatt argues that marketing science should not simply validate decisions that have already been made. Its role is to challenge assumptions, identify what would have happened without the advertising and give marketers evidence they can confidently use to make better investment decisions.A useful listen for marketers interested in marketing science, advertising effectiveness, connected TV, incrementality, media measurement, experimentation and commercial impact.Timestamps01:16 How Matt found his way into marketing science02:19 How advertising measurement has changed03:27 Are marketers measuring things without knowing why?04:27 Why measurement assumptions must be tested continually05:02 Do marketers know how to test properly?06:00 The limitations of basic A/B testing06:17 Why incrementality is the missing part of marketing testing07:18 The importance of statisticians, data scientists and translation08:13 Matt's journey to Samsung Ads08:18 What Samsung Ads does09:00 How television viewing behaviour has changed10:18 Balancing audience precision, relevance and scale11:02 Relevance without intrusive personalisation12:19 Samsung Ads' Total View measurement capability12:36 Audience duplication, incremental reach and missed audiences13:40 Why platform reach figures can be misleading14:06 What a Head of Marketing Science actually does14:40 Building advertiser-specific measurement playbooks15:16 Using measurement to improve future advertising investment15:23 How to explain incrementality to senior business leaders15:41 Why marketers need to understand marketing science17:00 How measurement feeds into marketing mix models17:33 A real example of fixing incomplete advertising data19:00 How a geo test led to a seven-figure investment19:43 Why negative test results should not frighten marketers20:40 Combining scientific rigour with commercial thinking21:51 What comes next for connected TV measurement22:00 Connecting television and mobile data23:30 Why marketing measurement must keep pace with human behaviourThat's What I Call Marketing is the podcast for marketers who care about brand, B2B, creativity, effectiveness and the future of the profession.Follow the show for more conversations with CMOs, marketing leaders, agency leaders, professors, authors, thinkers and practitioners.Find more episodes at: https://www.thatswhaticallmarketing.comThanks to the Digital Voice for their partnership https://www.thedigitalvoice.co.uk/That's What I Call Marketing is where marketers come for real conversations about brand, B2B, creativity, effectiveness and the future of the profession.Hosted by Conor Byrne, the show features conversations with CMOs, marketing leaders, agency leaders, authors, thinkers and practitioners about what good marketing looks like in practice.Listen, follow and find more episodes at: https://www.thatswhaticallmarketing.comConnect with Conor on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/conorbyrneirl/If you enjoy the show, please follow, subscribe and leave a review.

What happens after a woman has already achieved success? She is leading. Carrying responsibility. Making decisions. Holding teams, families, businesses, and futures together. From the outside, it may look like she has arrived. But internally, she may be standing at a different kind of threshold. It's one where success still works, but no longer feels like the whole truth. In this episode of Your Passion, Purpose, and Personal Brand, Lisa McGuire continues her conversation with Dr. Don Barden, author of Here Come the Girls and founder of Architect Her. Together, they explore why the next era of leadership will require more than information, inspiration, or another conference room full of content. Architect Her is a private, curated, year-long leadership architecture experience created for high-capacity women who are ready to build what comes next. It is not a retreat. It is not a mastermind. It is not another place to consume ideas without integration. It is a room designed for understanding. Lisa and Don talk about the loneliness of leadership, the burden women often carry that others do not see, and why relevance may be the defining question for leaders in the new human economy. They also explore the power of being in proximity with other women who are not competing, posturing, or performing, but collaborating from lived experience. If you are a woman in leadership who has built something meaningful and still senses there is more to architect, this conversation will name something you may already know but have not said out loud. Key Takeaways Architect Her is a year-long leadership experience designed for women in meaningful positions of influence, responsibility, or readiness. The real value is not just the curriculum. It is the room, the cohort, the conversations, and the understanding that happens between women. Relevance is becoming one of the most important questions for leaders and organizations preparing for the future. Women often carry a greater volume of responsibility across work, family, leadership, and personal life. Success can be lonely when others assume you already have everything figured out. The right room creates safety without softness, collaboration without competition, and transformation without performance. Architect Her is built around understanding, not simply knowledge. Work-life balance may not be the real goal. Work-life harmony is the deeper invitation. Companies benefit when they invest in the women who are shaping culture, teams, and the future of business. The next era belongs to women who are ready to lead with clarity, capacity, and authority.

Sales isn't just about products, features, or numbers, it's all about forging genuine human connections. The best way to do this is by mastering the craft of storytelling. In this episode, I speak to some phenomenal sales experts, Mike Adams, John Livesay, and Kyle Gray, who share their favorite storytelling do's and don'ts, and their personal strategies for winning business and building trust. Listen in as they share their wisdom and practical tips to help you refine your own sales storytelling. Outline of This Episode [00:00] Importance of knowing what a story is and isn't [02:20] Making your story relevant [04:28] Turning monologues into dialogues [11:02] Make stories clear, concise, and compelling [17:42] Tips for engaging storytelling [18:05] Help listeners feel emotionally invested [20:10] Finding power in personal stories Story Structure, Relevance, and Creating Dialogue Successful storytelling in sales begins with truly understanding what a story is—and what it isn't. A real story involves a sequence of events, set in time and place, revolving around relatable characters. Mike Adams warns that many people confuse storytelling with simply relaying information or data, which fails to connect. Relevance is crucial: stories should directly relate to the prospect's current situation, making anecdotes about yourself or clients with similar challenges especially resonant. Use story sharing to foster deeper connections, uncover real needs, and help you craft tailor-made solutions. Practice, relevance checks, and skillful story-listening questions (like, "Can you give me an example?") are his top tips for storytelling that converts. Be Clear, Be Concise, Be Compelling John Livesay keeps his advice refreshingly simple, make your story clear, concise, and compelling. He warns that confusion, excessive detail, or bland storytelling all make a prospect tune out. Instead of drowning listeners in facts and figures, he urges salespeople to focus on emotional engagement—making us care about the character at the heart of the story. His secret to memorable stories is to craft them so they're easily repeatable and carry a strong emotional core. He shares a real-world account of how reframing a clinical product demo into a drama-filled, patient-saving story led to skyrocketing sales for a healthcare company. A story that places your audience into the action will always outsell a technical pitch. Make Every Word Count Speak in the present tense—even about past events—to draw listeners in. When listing details or examples, stick to threes for impact and brevity, keeping stories tight and memorable. Make your storytelling conversational, bringing in dialogue rather than dry narration (think: "Bob said, 'Can you help?'" instead of just stating facts). Kyle Gray warns against being long-winded, dwelling too much on pain points, or over-teaching—focus instead on providing "the minimum dose" for your listener to take action. His favorite story illustrates how owning your personal journey can turn vulnerability into confidence, empowering you and your prospect.

Welcome to the Health Marketing Collective, where strong leadership meets marketing excellence.In today's episode, Sara Payne sits down with Kamal Bhandal, Senior Vice President of Invisalign Global Brand at Align Technology, to discuss how healthcare brands can earn true cultural relevance and become part of the everyday conversations, communities, and lifestyles of their audiences.With deep experience at the intersection of healthcare, technology, and consumer marketing, Kamal Bhandal has played a crucial role in establishing Invisalign as one of the most recognizable names in healthcare. She's led marketing transformations spanning everything from AI-powered systems to brand strategy, and in this episode, she shares her approach to building lifestyle-driven relevance, making social media a force multiplier, and learning directly from the consumers, especially younger generations like Gen Z who are shaping brand expectations for the future.We break down what it really means for a healthcare brand to be relevant in people's lives, why it's essential to embed authenticity into your marketing practices, and what other healthcare leaders can take away from the next generation's playbook for engagement, inclusivity, and community building.Thank you for joining us at the Health Marketing Collective, where strong leadership meets marketing excellence because the future of healthcare depends on it.Key Takeaways:Relevance Is Earned, Not AssumedKamal emphasizes that brand relevance means earning the right to become part of people's lives. It's about understanding your audience on a deep level—not just through data, but by sitting “knee to knee” with customers, embracing their worldviews, language, and daily challenges, in order to craft resonant and meaningful brand experiences (02:01–06:03).Investing in Consumer Understanding Is Non-NegotiableCarving out time and budget for ongoing consumer immersion isn't a “nice-to-have”; it's foundational. Kamal stresses that gathering insights from both current and potential customers (from providers to end users) is the necessary first step for unlocking true relevance and building impactful marketing strategies and communication plans (06:46–08:21).Social Media as a Force MultiplierRather than viewing social media as a mere channel, Kamal advocates treating it as an arena for discovery, community, and co-creation. Social platforms enable healthcare brands to both “edutain” audiences (educate + entertain) and foster true connection not only direct-to-consumer, but through providers and wider communities. Social listening and active engagement also drive real-time insights that can reshape marketing and product decisions (15:12–19:57).Let the Next Generation LeadTo be relevant to Gen Z and beyond, brands must co-create with these consumers, not just market to them. Kamal shares how involving Gen Z voices “at the table” from the very beginning accelerates relevance and helps avoid misaligned assumptions. This collaborative approach is now essential as culture and expectations move at unprecedented speed (20:32–22:34).Marketing's Role in Fostering Team Culture & Embracing ChangeStrong marketing leadership mirrors the principles of consumer relevance within teams by understanding individuals' goals, fostering a culture of learning, and celebrating experimentation (including failures). Kamal underscores the importance of team chemistry, delegated voice, and supporting risk-taking as integral to ongoing organizational transformation and innovation (25:50–29:45).Thank you for being part of the Health Marketing Collective, where strong leadership meets marketing excellence. The future of healthcare depends on it.Mentioned in this episode:Health Marketing Collective is Powered by InprelaThe Health Marketing Collective is powered by Inprela: a communications firm built for health brands determined to lead, not follow.

Gap was never uncool. It just disappeared. CEO Richard Dickson joins Rapid Response to explain how he's bringing it back, using the same pop culture playbook he used to resurrect Barbie at Mattel. He breaks down why he tracks "brand love" metrics on a dashboard hourly, why Sydney Sweeney's viral jeans ad was actually good news for the whole industry, and why the biggest risk a brand can take is playing it safe.

The Inverse of Relevance – For the Church to remain relevant, it must tell and retell the seemingly irrelevant Gospel.
In the first episode of the Summer School series, Phil challenges professionals to adopt the mindset that separates top performers from the rest: thinking like a CEO. Regardless of your title, you're running a business within a business, and success depends on leading it with intention. In this episode, Phil outlines seven essential questions every advisor, entrepreneur, and business leader should answer to define their mission, identify their ideal clients, market their value, and build a sustainable business that creates lasting impact. If you're ready to stop drifting and start designing the future of your practice, class is officially in session. Resources: Please send Comments, Questions, and Feedback to: mojo@cannonfinancial.com Please send First Friday Feedback Submissions to: mojo@cannonfinancial.com Transcription: Top performers in every field surround themselves with those who inspire them, who seek to build them up, and who push them to reach beyond their current limits. I'm Phil Buchanan, Executive Chairman of Canon Financial Institute. I designed Monday Morning Mojo to provide you with a weekly spark, a push, and motivational insight to live your best life. Thanks for joining. Good Monday morning, Canada Nation. It is Phil here with episode 755 of Monday Morning Mojo. Throughout the month of July, we're headed back to school. Not the kind of school with desk, textbooks, and final exams. We're talking about the kind of learning that can transform careers, elevate businesses, and ultimately change lives. I'm calling this the Monday Morning Mojo Summer School. And each week in the month of July, we're going to tackle a different lesson that every exceptional business leader, be them a wealth management professional or entrepreneur, should master. Today's lesson is simple, but it may be the most important one of the entire series. You are the CEO of your business. Now, I know what some of you are thinking. Phil, I'm not a CEO. I work for a bank. I work for a trust company. I'm part of a family office. I manage advisory relationships. I counsel clients. Now, all of that is true. But regardless of your title, every one of us operates a business within a business. Now, the elite professionals understand this. The average professionals ignore it. Elite performers think like owners, and owners think like CEOs. So let's head into today's summer school lesson. CEOs are responsible for the business thesis. Now, every successful company begins with a simple question. Why does this business exist? That's the business thesis. What problems are we solving? Who are we serving? Why should someone choose us? Look at any great company and you'll find a very clear thesis behind it. The same should be true for you. If I ask you right now, what is your professional business thesis? Could you answer in a simple one-sentence explanation? Not your firm's mission statement, not a generic value proposition, your thesis. For example, I help closely help business owners transition wealth and leadership successfully across generations. Or I help affluent families reduce complexity and increase confidence in every aspect of their financial lives. That is a thesis. Now, many professionals spend years working hard without ever defining exactly what business they're in. CEOs can't and don't make that mistake. Before they build a company, they define the mission. Before you build your business, you should define yours. Lesson 2, what type of business will you build? Once you've established your thesis, the next question is simple. What type of business are you trying to create? Now, many professionals drift throughout their careers, accepting whatever opportunities arrive. CEOs intentionally do not drift. They design. Do you want a highly specialized advisory practice? Do you want a multi-generational family office business? Do you want to become the leading advisors to entrepreneurs in your market? Do you want a smaller number of relationships or a larger number of smaller relationships? There is no right answer. That's the beauty of this business. But the value is in your clarity. The future you're building today is being shaped by the decisions you're making right now. Every client you accept, every niche you pursue, every referral source you cultivate, every hour you spend, all of it is either helping build your intended business or helping build someone else's vision. CEOs don't leave that to chance. Neither should you. Lesson 3, who are your target clients? One of the greatest mistakes professionals in any business makes is trying to serve everyone. When you try to be relevant to everyone, you become memorable to no one. The most successful businesses in the world know exactly who they serve. You should too. Who is your ideal client? What is the type of client that has issues and has challenges in their lives that cause them to search for someone with your expertise? What opportunities excite your ideal client? What obstacles frustrate them? What stages of life are they navigating? What decisions are weighing on them? The more clearly you define your audience, the easier it becomes to create value. The advisor who specializes in business owners thinks differently than the advisor who specializes in retirees. The family office professional serving ultra-high-net-worth families faces different challenges than the private banker focused on emerging wealth. Specificity creates relevance. Relevance creates trust. Trust creates multiple opportunities. Lesson #4, what services do your ideal clients need? Now here's a critical distinction. Don't, and I mean never, start with your services. Start with your clients. Too many professionals lead with what they want to sell. CEOs focus on what clients need to buy. What keeps your ideal clients awake at 2 A.m.? Is it succession planning, asset protection? tax complexity, family dynamics, charitable planning, a business transition, wealth transfer, risk management. Your value grows when you become a solution to meaningful problems. The deeper your understanding of client needs, the more indispensable you become. Remember this, clients don't buy products and services. They are buying outcomes. They are buying confidence. They are buying clarity. They are buying peace of mind. Lesson 5, how will you market your value? To be brutally honest, many talented professionals struggle here. Not because they're incapable. Rather, they've convinced themselves that marketing is someone else's job. CEOs know better. Marketing is not advertising. Marketing is helping people understand the value you create. It's your visibility. It's your reputation. It's your voice. It's your willingness to educate and engage. Today's marketplace rewards expertise that can be found, that can be searched for, that is digital and identifiable. Write articles. Host education events, create content, speak at industry gatherings, build relationships in your community, share your insights generously. When people consistently associate your name with expertise, opportunities begin to find you. Marketing is not about self-promotion, it's about value promotion. Lesson #6, what's your go-to-market strategy? Great ideas are useless without execution. Again, every CEO knows this. That's why they develop a go-to-market strategy. How will opportunities become relationships? How will relationships become clients? How will clients become advocates? What's your process? What referral sources are you cultivating? What centers of influence are important to your growth? How frequently are you engaging your community of practice? How intentional are you being? Growth rarely, if ever, happens, certainly on a sustainable business by simple chance or accident. Great businesses execute a deliberate plan. Great professionals do the same. Lesson #7, how will you service clients once they arrive? Perhaps the greatest CEO lesson of all time. Acquiring clients is important. Keeping clients is essential. What happens after someone chooses to work with you? Do they receive a deliberate onboarding process? Do they communicate proactively? Do you create clear service expectations? Exceptional service creates loyalty. Loyalty creates retention. Retention fosters referrals. And of course, referrals help accelerate growth. And then suddenly, one day, you realize you've built something sustainable instead of something dependent solely upon constant prospecting. The best businesses in the world don't just attract clients. They create advocates. Your practice should do the same. As we wrap up today's summer school lesson, I want to leave you with a challenge this week. Carve out 30 uninterrupted minutes. Grab a notebook, silence your phone, and answer these seven questions. Number one, what is my business thesis? Number 2, what type of business am I building? Number 3, who are my ideal clients? Number 4, what problems do they need solved? Number 5, how will I market my value? Number 6, what is my go-to-market strategy? And #7, what is my client servicing model? Because whether you've realized it or not, you're already the CEO of your own business. The only remaining question is, are you running it intentionally? Ladies and gentlemen, summer school is officially in session, and until next week, class is dismissed. Monday Morning Mojo is a production of Cannon Financial Institute.

▶ Click Here to Master Evidence Foundations ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ EPISODE SUMMARY Evidence law governs controlled proof at trial. Evidence is information presented to a factfinder to prove or disprove a fact. It may include testimony, documents, photographs, recordings, physical objects, stipulations, judicially noticed facts, summaries, expert opinions, business records, public records, and demonstrative aids.The judge decides most questions of admissibility. The jury decides disputed facts and weighs admitted evidence. The parties offer evidence, opponents object, and the judge rules.Rule 104(a) gives the judge authority to decide preliminary questions about admissibility, witness qualification, and privilege. In doing so, the judge is generally not bound by evidence rules except privilege rules. Rule 104(b) governs conditional relevance. When relevance depends on whether another fact exists, the judge admits the evidence if a reasonable jury could find the connecting fact.Relevance is a low threshold. Evidence is relevant if it has any tendency to make a consequential fact more or less probable. Relevant evidence is generally admissible unless another rule excludes it. Irrelevant evidence is inadmissible.Rule 403 permits exclusion when probative value is substantially outweighed by unfair prejudice, confusion, misleading the jury, delay, waste, or cumulative proof. The rule favors admissibility because the danger must substantially outweigh probative value.Some evidence is admissible for one purpose but not another. Limiting instructions help control the jury's use of such evidence.Objections must usually be timely and specific to preserve error. If evidence is excluded, the proponent may need an offer of proof to show what the evidence would have established.Judicial notice allows courts to accept certain indisputable adjudicative facts without formal proof. In civil cases, the jury must accept judicially noticed facts as conclusive. In criminal cases, the jury may but need not accept them.Burdens of production and persuasion determine who must produce evidence and who must convince the factfinder. Presumptions may affect these burdens.The central lesson is that Evidence starts with purpose. Before applying any rule, ask: What is the evidence, who is offering it, and what fact is it offered to prove? That question is the foundation of relevance, admissibility, objections, and trial proof.
Hamidreza Azizi joins the show once more to ask a deceptively simple question: is the war over? Azizi argues the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is deliberately vague and fully reversible - sanctions relief hinges on a phone call, the $300 billion investment fund is unfunded, and both Iran and the US are already renegotiating its terms through actions, not words. They dig into Iran's Strait of Hormuz fee gambit, China's calculated non-intervention, Turkey's regional rise, and 80% inflation battering Iran domestically. Azizi's verdict: Iran emerges more resilient, not more powerful, and... you'll have to listen to get the rest!--Timestamps:(00:00) - Welcome and Guest Intro(00:49) - Book Timing and Relevance(03:49) - Is the War Over(05:23) - Iranian View of Ongoing War(11:23) - MOU Favorable to Iran(12:56) - MOU Details and Reversibility(18:48) - Strait of Hormuz Fee Debate(21:05) - Iran Strategy and Leverage Clock(27:57) - Regional Order in Transition(35:46) - China and Great Power Dynamics(42:46) - Turkey and Israel Threat Perception(46:10) - Iran Domestic Fallout and 60 Day Outlook--Referenced in the Show:Hamidreza's Substack - https://www.irananalytica.org/Hamidreza on X - https://x.com/HamidRezaAz--Jacob Shapiro Site: jacobshapiro.comJacob Shapiro LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/jacob-l-s-a9337416Jacob Twitter: x.com/JacobShapJacob Shapiro Substack: jashap.substack.com/subscribe --The Jacob Shapiro Show is produced and edited by Audiographies LLC.

He's also a freelance researcher, a philosopher, and an educator. He's here today to educate us about some of the fundamental differences between living organisms and machines, like AI, and why we should care about those differences. We discuss his paper The Cyborg Myth, an argument for why we can't seamlessly replace ourselves with machine parts over time. We talk about judgment and relevance realization as a fundamental difference between AI and living organisms -the ability to judge what is a relevant problem to solve in the first place, assuming intelligence is about problem solving. We also discuss what agency is in living systems, and why AI agents are something completely different. I think you get the recurring theme here. Yogi is writing a book called Beyond the Age of Machines, a work in progress and you can read it as he writes it on his expanding possibilities website.

Preview for Later Today: Thaddeus McCotter. Thaddeus McCotter reflects on the fleeting relevance of political books detailing internal administration leaks and divisions. He contrasts these "ephemeral" works with the lasting historical significance of projects like the Hoover Dam.

What happens when wonder is reduced to curiosity, and curiosity becomes a drive to master everything? In this second conversation with William Desmond, John Vervaeke returns to the question of astonishment: not as a passing emotional state, but as a deeper opening of the mind to reality. Desmond frames scientism as a philosophical interpretation of science that tries to make all essential questions answerable through determinate method, precision, and control. Science remains valuable, but scientism forgets the more original wonder from which inquiry arises. The conversation distinguishes astonishment, perplexity, and curiosity. Curiosity seeks determinate answers, while astonishment opens us to what exceeds our mastery. Vervaeke connects this with his own distinction between the having mode and the being mode, arguing that genuine wonder is bound up with transformation rather than mere information. From there, the dialogue turns to Plato, Aristotle, Hegel, logical positivism, AI, computation, relevance realization, and insight. Desmond and Vervaeke ask whether intelligibility can be reduced to determination, or whether the most important forms of understanding depend on a living act of insight that formal systems cannot generate on their own. The final movement turns toward spiritual practice, Socrates, Jesus, the Buddha, religion, trust, and forgiveness. If modern culture suffers from a dearth of astonishment, then the recovery of meaning may require more than better arguments. It may require practices, communities, and forms of dialogue that reawaken porosity, reverence, and an openness to the sacred.

Astonishment is more original than curiosity because it opens inquiry rather than merely directing it toward control. Perplexity matters because some mysteries are not failures of explanation but enduring features of the human condition. Insight depends on living participation in intelligibility, not only inference or computation. AI and formal systems can imitate aspects of thought, but they do not resolve the deeper question of living noetic activity. Modern meaninglessness is intensified when institutions, practices, and role models no longer help people recover reverence and connectedness. Religion must be discussed at the level of human vulnerability, longing, trust, failure, and mystery, not only at the level of institutional critique.

About DHR Global (9:33) Tony Abate's origin story. Current boards: Wolfspeed, GTT Communications, Mitel, and Tacora Resources. (23:52) Turnaround Board Playbook. Three phases: 1) Fix the balance sheet; 2) Turnaround strategy, and time to turn to the income statement; and 3) Exit the business. (28:50) Private Equity Board Structure. It is all contextual. (33:40) Compensation in PE boards. (31:15) What Makes Boards Effective, from Tony based on his chairmanship experience. Execution vs process. *Execution: 1) Skill Set Distribution ("Three is too few, five too many."), 2) Relevance of that skill set distribution to the situation at hand, and 3) Willingness to engage with the management team between board meetings ("the most important" goes to board culture). (38:34) Building the Board Agenda, from Tony: Tight agenda in three buckets: 1) Decisions needed now, 2) input without a decision, and 3) FYI. Most boards get stuck on FYI and never reach the real decisions.

Ever watch a promising writing class lose steam by midterm? We've been there, and we built this conversation to flip that script using the ARCS model—Attention, Relevance, Confidence, Satisfaction—as a practical blueprint for motivated, higher-quality writing across live and online courses. With award-winning author and curriculum developer Ruth A. Douthit, we unpack what actually keeps students engaged, why “busy work” backfires, and how to design assignments that feel purposeful from the first hook to the final draft.Ruth closes with before-and-after assignment makeovers and shares where to connect with her books and A Writer's Day podcast. If you're ready to replace disengagement with momentum and help students produce writing they're proud to share, this episode will give you the scripts, structures, and confidence to start.Enjoyed the conversation? Follow and share the show, leave a thoughtful review, and send this to a colleague who's redesigning a writing course. Your support helps more educators find actionable ideas that work.
Send us Fan MailEpisode #14 is focused on the principle and importance of maintaining brand relevance. In my case, this episode takes you into a Sonoma-Cutrer board meeting back in 1988, at which I proposed what was thought to be a radical idea at the time: to take Chardonnay off the front of the label, à la Burgundy, France, and put the vineyard name in its place.I had only been VP of Sales & Marketing at Sonoma-Cutrer and on the senior management team for less than 90 days at the time. It was a bold move; however, it was increasingly apparent that, with the popularity of Chardonnay during the 80's among the wine-drinking public at large, we ran the risk of being lumped into the sea of average Chardonnay that was beginning to appear in the market at lower prices.Take a listenThanks for being a listener to the Fine Wine Confidential Podcast.

**What you'll discover:**We begin by revisiting Revelation 16 and the three unclean spirits “like frogs” – which we previously connected to the French Revolution's ideals of liberty, fraternity, and equality. These spirits, we suggest, are now actively uniting the world against Israel. Using a second approach – observing current events – we find this framework confirmed in a **revealing** way.From the UN's disproportionate condemnation of Israel (as noted by Prime Minister Netanyahu) to the shocking scenes in London, Sydney, and New York just days after the October 7th massacre, we see prophecy unfolding before our eyes. We examine surveys showing that over half of young adults in the US and UK believe Israel should not exist – a **wonderful** (in the sense of awe-inspiring) confirmation that the nations are aligning exactly as Scripture foretold.We then trace the modern spirit of “woke” back to its roots in the French Revolution and Marxism, showing how this oppressor-oppressed framework has turned against the Jewish people and the nation of Israel. What appears as anti‑Zionism is often a repackaged form of ancient antisemitism – and we explain how the Soviet Union's propaganda after the Six‑Day War seeded much of what we see today.Finally, we ask: what does this mean for Bible believers? How does this cultural revolution challenge those who seek to follow the Lord Jesus Christ in a world gone mad? This is a **revealing** and practical application that will strengthen your resolve to stand on God's Word.Chapters:00:00 – Introduction: world news from a biblical standpoint 00:20 – Recap: the three frog‑like spirits from Revelation 16 and the French Revolution 00:59 – A second approach: observing the world uniting against Israel 01:36 – From the French Revolution to the UN Human Rights framework 02:17 – Nations gathering against Israel – what Revelation 16 foretells 02:49 – Netanyahu on the UN's disproportionate bias against Israel 03:40 – The October 7th attack and the world's frightening reaction (London, Sydney, New York) 04:51 – EU survey: antisemitism as a “big problem” for 90% of French Jews 05:40 – Young people's views in the US and UK: over half want Israel ended 06:25 – Prophecy being fulfilled before our eyes 06:45 – Rising antisemitism and fear among Jews worldwide 07:11 – What is “woke”?

In this episode, Steve Seckler speaks with Dr. Sarah Alsaidi, a psychologist, executive coach, and creator of the Brain in Mind Method, a coaching framework that integrates neuroscience and psychology to help high-performing professionals better understand how their brains work and perform at their best. Dr. Alsaidi explores the critical role of executive functioning in high-performing legal professionals. She demystifies how these mental skills influence productivity, resilience, and well-being, offering practical insights for lawyers and their organizations. This episode offers a blend of neuroscience, practical coaching strategies, and insights into the unique challenges faced by legal professionals, making it a valuable listen for anyone looking to enhance their cognitive skills and resilience in high-stakes careers. Key Takeaways: Executive functioning is like the brain's CEO, involving skills such as planning, organization, and emotional regulation.

Metacognition, or thinking about your thinking, is essential for identifying effective tools and strategies. Emotional regulation is vital for managing stress and maintaining resilience in high-pressure environments.

For years, local SEO was about keywords. You found the phrases people were searching for, loaded your pages with them, and hoped Google noticed. That approach is not just outdated now. It is actively working against you. In this episode, Jerry Kennedy breaks down the shift that has happened over the last four to five years and why authority has replaced keywords as the thing that actually determines whether you show up in local and AI search. The distinction sounds subtle but the implications for how you build and manage your website are significant. Jerry walks through the three pillars of local search: relevance, proximity, and prominence. Relevance and proximity are straightforward. Prominence is where most chiropractors are leaving results on the table, and it is also the piece that most low-budget website companies either do not understand or simply ignore. He uses the gas station chicken wings analogy to explain why mentioning a condition once on a services page puts you in the same category as a business nobody actually associates with that thing, and how building real content depth around two or three subjects is what starts to move the needle. He also covers why reviews matter more than most chiropractors treat them, why the people who already have momentum in your market are going to keep pulling ahead if you are playing by old rules, and what the starting point actually looks like for building authority in your area. Topics Covered The core shift from keyword-focused SEO to authority-focused SEO and what it means practically The three pillars of local search: relevance, proximity, and prominence explained Why keyword stuffing still shows up on chiropractic websites built by high-volume companies The gas station chicken wings analogy: why thin mentions do not build authority Why established chiropractors can get away with a simpler website and newer ones cannot How to build real topical authority through website content, blogs, reviews, and off-site signals Why reviews are Google and AI's closest approximation of community reputation The "rich get richer" dynamic in local search and what it means if you are just getting started How to pick the two or three authority areas worth focusing on in your practice If you want a free look at your website and local search, request a review at RocketChiro.com.
