Anthony Scilipoti is one of the sharpest minds in investing. He's the President and CEO of Veritas Group of Companies. He called the collapses of both Valeant Pharmaceuticals and Nortel before they happened, and now he has some thoughts on AI. We talk about asking better questions, reading the fine print, the role of short selling, and what it means to be wrong. We explore why AI gives you information but not insight, why cheap risk is often the most expensive, and why nothing matters until it does. It's a conversation about the difference between seeing and understanding and the discipline to notice what everyone else ignores. This episode is not investment advice.

The New York Times isn't just a newspaper; it's a cultural institution, a daily habit, and a brand that has reinvented itself for every generation. That's why in this episode, we're taking lessons from their playbook with the help of our special guest Avery Akkineni, Chief Marketing Officer of VaynerX.Together, we explore what B2B marketers can learn from building credibility into daily routines, using gamification and surprise to drive engagement, and picking the right moments to move fast while staying relevant.About our guest, Avery AkkineniA pioneer in digital marketing and emerging tech, Avery Akkineni spearheads brand strategy, content, events, and communications as Chief Marketing Officer at VaynerX.In seven years at Vayner, Avery has catalyzed exponential growth by launching new companies and leading international expansion. She built VaynerMedia APAC from the ground up to over 150 employees in two years, opened key Asia Pacific markets like Singapore, Bangkok, Sydney, and Tokyo. During her tenure, VaynerMedia APAC was awarded Marketing Interactive's Agency of the Year. In 2021, Avery founded Vayner3, an innovation consultancy focused on emerging technologies like AI and Web3. Under her leadership, Vayner3 achieved significant industry acclaim; she was named an Ad Age Web3 Trailblazer, and an AI Thought Leader by Business Insider. Her proven ability to identify and leverage leading-edge channels to drive growth for Vayner and her brand partners has landed Avery advisory roles including Salesforce's AI Council, Meta's Creative Council, TikTok's #ForYouCollective, Tracer's Advisory Board, and with a weekly marketers podcast on CoinDesk (GenC).Based in Miami, FL overseeing VaynerX's local office, Avery continues to push boundaries in marketing. She is a sought-after speaker on modern marketing and digital innovation, who empowers teams and companies to embrace new opportunities. She also serves on the Board of Peace Players, an organization using the power of sport to build peaceful and thriving communities.What B2B Companies Can Learn From The New York Times:Build credibility into daily routines. The New York Times succeeds because it has become a trusted part of people's everyday habits. For B2B brands, the lesson is to earn that same consistent place in your audience's workflow. As Avery explains:“To me, the credibility of The New York Times is why I want to check there first and understand their point of view. What are the big stories of today.” When buyers trust your perspective enough to seek it daily, your brand moves from optional to indispensable.Use gamification and surprise to drive engagement. NYT didn't just sell news—it made puzzles, games, and even cooking content part of its brand fabric. That levity created stickiness. Avery puts it this way: “The New York Times integration with their incredible games has really helped drive up that frequency… I play with my friends, everybody shares their scores… and I think that really drives up that frequency and user adoption and makes The New York Times even more relevant.” In B2B, “serious” brands can still add fun, surprise, or delight to deepen connection and engagement.Pick your moments and move fast. The Times doesn't try to beat TikTok on breaking news—it chooses credibility as its edge, while still responding with speed when it matters. Avery notes:“You don't need to have a thought on everything. You have a thought on certain things—what matters for you and, as a brand, what matters for your consumers. Either we're part of the conversation or we're not.” For B2B, that means defining the moments where your voice is essential, and showing up quickly with relevance and confidence.Quote“ You don't need to have a thought on everything. You have a thought on certain things—what matters for you and as a brand, what matters for your consumers. Either we're part of the conversation or we're not.”Time Stamps[00:55] Meet Avery Akkineni, Chief Marketing Officer of VaynerX01:05 Why The New York Times?01:53 The Role of CMO at VaynerX02:42 Gary Vaynerchuk's Influencer09:51 Behind-the-Scenes of NYT25:58 B2B Marketing Lessons from NYT38:35 Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Avery on LinkedInLearn more about VaynerXAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

This was a bucket list moment for me! I got to speak to Seth Godin, an OG in the marketing world. He kindly gave up his time tell us how to be 'remarkable' - offer things other people 'remark' about. In his usual style, he used examples designed to make us think, so we can mould ideas to suit us. And I even got him to talk about tutoring! Enjoy :-) Sumantha____________________
In Acts 3 we have the healing of the crippled man, who was lame from birth and more than 40 years old (4:22). This healing has many parallels with the testy of the crippled man at the pool of Bethesda in John 5. The crippled man represents Israel and their inability to walk before their God. Peter commands the lame man to fix his gaze on them, which he does expecting alms. The crippled man receives far greater -he receives healing and discipleship. And walking, and leaping, and praising God he enters the templewith Peter and John. Remarkable words of witness follow with the testimony of Peter that there is noother name given under heaven by which salvation can come than our Lord Jesus Christ. Buddhism, Hinduism and all other isms cannot save. Our Lord was the stone rejected by men, but chosen and precious to God (Psalm 118:22). Peter outlines in verses 19-26 what they must do. The rulers sendofficers in chapter 4 to arrest Peter and John. Note that the number of disciples had now reached 5,000. They were examined by the Counsel and commanded to refrain from preaching Christ Jesus. TheApostles' response is that: "We cannot cease from doing what the Almighty has commanded us". Peter and John are threatened and released. Upon joining their fellow believers, the two Apostles together withtheir assembled brothers praise the LORD and in prayer speak of what had just happened as being a fulfilment of Psalm 2. Their Sovereign's response to their prayer is a shaking of the house they were in. God is further demonstrating His power in support of their testimony. This was given as yet anotherendorsement by their God of His guarantee to support his ecclesia's faithful testimony. The spirit of unity and community is spoken of in verses 32-37. Oh, for such a spirit among believers today!Thanks for joining us - we pray you found these comments helpful in your appreciation of God's words, join again tomorrow

2 Chronicles 24 tells us that Joash was 7 years old when he begins to reign and that he rules for 40 years. Jehoiadah chose two wives for Joash and the king then produces sons and daughters. Joash decides to repair the temple and urges the unresponsive Levites to collect funds in the cities of Judah. The Levites had been impoverished by the ravages of Athaliah. A chest is made and the redemption tax of the Law of Moses is reinstated. The tax was collected in a specially made and dedicated chest. When the chest was full it was emptied and craftsmen who were employed to repair the temple and refurnish its utensils were paid from this box. No account was required of the tradesmen who dealt faithfully. At 130 years of age the faithful Jehoiadah dies and is buried and honoured in Jerusalem. Tragically, after the high priest's death the princes abandon their God and again turn to serve idols. Jehoiadah's son Zechariah condemns this evil and was stoned in the Temple court by Joash's command (this may be the incident referred to by our Lord Jesus Christ in Matthew 23 verses 34-36). At the end of the year the Syrian army comes against Judah and at that time Joash's servants slay him as recompense for the evil done to Zechariah. The people of Judah replaced Joash with Amaziah Joash's son. Daniel 5 occurs in BC537 - the night Babylon fell to the Medo-Persians, Babylon is ruled by Belshazzar the son of Nabonidus who is on an expedition and is absent from his city. Babylon is suffering under the dissolute rule of Belshazzar. The Babylonians believed their city to be impregnable. However, the mode of its capture and the name of the victorious general were all told in the prophecy of Isaiah 44 verses 26-45:2 - read aloud, pause and ponder. Belshazzar, Babylon's deputy ruler in the absence of his father Nabonidus seeks to desecrate the vessels that had been taken from Yahweh's temple in Jerusalem. Whilst in the process of a drunken feast honouring the Chaldean gods a mysterious hand comes and writes upon the wall. The hand covers the writing. Belshazzar becomes incontinent due to fear. When the king's wise men cannot read the writing the queen mother asks for Daniel, who was known as Belteshazzar. Daniel castigates king Belshazzar and spells out the lessons that the Almighty had taught to Nebuchadnezzar, Belshazzar's grandfather. The hand is removed and Daniel reads the Aramaic text and interprets the writing: "Mene, Mene, Tekel, Parsin" ESV Read the meaning of those words in verses 26-28. The Aramaic gematria (assigning numerical values to letters and words) of the expression above is 2,520. Interestingly this is the time period which had been prophesied to Nebuchadnezzar for the kingdom of men in Daniel 4:16, 23-25. Daniel is promoted as promised by Belshazzar and king Belshazzar slain by the Persians. The Babylonian Empire was overthrown by Cyrus in the year BC 537 as Isaiah the prophet had prophesied in chapter 45 verses 1-6. In Acts 3 we have the healing of the crippled man, who was lame from birth and more than 40 years old (4:22). This healing has many parallels with the testy of the crippled man at the pool of Bethesda in John 5. The crippled man represents Israel and their inability to walk before their God.

My chat this week is with Vanessa Arroyo, founder and designer of SERES Footwear, a focused line designed from the ground up with high-quality natural materials in a way that's not often seen in the women's space.Once known as “the weird girl in high school making her own clothes” and thrown into shoemaking almost by chance, Vanessa fell in love with the art and craft of shoemaking between New York City, Chicago, and Leon Mexico, where she found unexpected meaning in her Mexican-American heritage—and sometimes had to stop working when it was raining too hard (you'll see what she means, I kinda love that part).As she walks us through the cobblestone streets of León, Vanessa paints a vivid picture of a shoemaking community bound by heart, heritage, and hands-on artistry. We explore how that local ecosystem fuels creativity, what might be lost as manufacturing drifts further overseas, eand how working within constraints can actually sharpen a design process.I'm also hugely excited and quite honored to have SERES as our first-ever exclusively women's-focused brand at our Stitchdown's Boot Camp Chicago quality footwear expo on November 8th, 2025—if you're reading this before then, trust me, GET YOURSELF TO CHICAGO, you won't be disappointed by what Vanessa and our other 45 vendors have to showcase.Here's Vanessa Arroyo, of SERES Footwear, on the Shoecast.

This episode is for founders stuck building features nobody asked for—who want to discover what customers actually need.Joshua Summers, CEO of EnFi, took a different path. After helping dozens of startups move their cash during the Silicon Valley Bank collapse, he discovered the real problem wasn't deposits or covenants—it was human capacity to assess risk. While others rushed to capitalize on the crisis, he spent months investigating what actually broke.And this inspired me to invite Joshua to my podcast. We explore how building from crisis reveals opportunities others miss. Joshua shares hard-earned wisdom about why founder-led sales beats hiring early, what happens when you achieve greater-than-human accuracy, and why building a culture where employees jump at the chance to work with you again matters more than your product. You'll discover why taking more capital early can save your company—even if it means more dilution.We also zoom in on two of the 10 traits that define remarkable software companies:Remarkable software companies focus on the essenceRemarkable software companies create something valuable and desirableJoshua's story is proof that the best insights come when you're not trying to sell anything.Here's one of Joshua's quotes that captures his approach to building companies:“Culture itself is an organism. It lives, it breathes, and it is impacted positively or negatively by every single thing around it. You can't design a culture. You can't say here's what our company will feel like, not look like, but feel like as an employee, it's impossible, but you can feed a culture with all the good things that hopefully help it to evolve like an organism."By listening to this episode, you'll learn:Why building in the open beats perfectionismHow 14 people can operate like a company of 150When discovering the essence changes everythingWhat makes employees want to work with you (again)For more information about the guest from this week: Guest: Joshua Summers, CEO of EnFi Website: www.enfi.ai
On the latest episode of the Remarkable Retail Podcast co-hosts Steve Dennis and Michael LeBlanc deliver another fast-moving episode at the intersection of strategy, leadership, and retail reinvention.The episode opens with Steve leading the weekly news rundown, spotlighting Walmart's groundbreaking partnership with OpenAI's ChatGPT — a move that could redefine how shoppers discover products and transact. They then turn to earnings where LVMH's modest rebound hints at a possible luxury reset, contrasted sharply with Saks Global's double-digit losses and ongoing integration pains. The co-hosts analyze Levi's direct-to-consumer surge under CEO Michelle Gass, before diving into Aritzia's remarkable 32% growth and aggressive US expansion.From there Michaels Arts & Crafts CEO David Boone joins for a wide-ranging conversation about creativity, transformation, and speed. Boone shares how Michaels' “seize the moment” initiative emerged after the collapse of Party City and JoAnn's — an opportunity to rapidly introduce new in-store and digital concepts like The Party Shop and Balloon Bar. Drawing on his leadership experience at Staples Canada, Boone contrasts private equity agility with public-company complexity and explains why, in today's market, inaction is riskier than risk itself.Boone also details Michaels' journey toward a truly omnichannel creative ecosystem, where digital discovery enhances the tactile joy of physical stores. He discusses the integration of JoAnn's beloved IP into the Michaels experience and how the company's purpose — “fueling the joy of creativity and celebration” — guides everything from store design to marketing voice.Steve and Michael close with their “what's remarkable” segment, breaking down OpenAI's new Sora social video app and the explosive pace of AI adoption and lifting up International artisanal brand MUDD and the creative retail energy they embody. Together they reflect on the balance of innovation, humanity, and retail momentum heading into the 2025 holiday season.

Penn State Football isn't just a sport; it's a tradition, a community, and a way of life. That same mindset should guide how we think about B2B marketing.That's why in this episode, we're taking lessons from Penn State's legacy with the help of our special guest Jill Ransome, SVP of Marketing and Communications at Unite Us.Together, we explore what B2B marketers can learn from building a brand people rally behind, leaning into differentiation, and playing the long game with consistency to drive lasting impact.About our guest, Jill RansomeJill Ransome is a seasoned marketing executive with over 20 years of experience leading brand, communications, and growth strategies for technology and software companies. Currently SVP of Marketing at Unite Us, Jill previously served as Chief Marketing Officer at Jitterbit, where she led global brand transformation and demand generation efforts. She's spent much of her career in high-growth environments, bringing a passion for storytelling, strategic execution, and building scalable marketing engines. Jill holds a B.S. in Global Marketing from Pennsylvania State University and lives in Fairfield, Connecticut.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Penn State Football:Build a brand people rally behind. Penn State thrives on pride, emotion, and community, and Jill says B2B brands need the same. “Build a brand that your fans, your followers, your constituents really believe in and rally behind. What Penn State does really well is it's consistent. It's emotional and it's human.” Even in B2B, you need advocates who feel connected enough to share, refer, and champion your story.Lean into differentiation. Just as Penn State owns its “Linebacker U” reputation, companies must find what sets them apart. “From a marketing strategy perspective, you always need to be… thinking about what is your differentiation in the market that's going to set your brand apart.” In crowded B2B categories, leaning into your unique story is what attracts the right buyers.Play the long game with consistency. Penn State football hasn't changed its brand for decades, and that repetition builds equity. Jill points out: “They have been the same navy, blue and white design for decades upon decades… it comes back to brand… You don't see success overnight. It's something that's built over time with consistency.” Marketing results don't happen instantly; they come from committing to your identity and showing up over time.Quote“ I think good marketers are great storytellers, but you can't be a great storyteller unless you're a good listener. You have to listen and learn from your buyers. You have to listen and learn from your frontline. You have to listen and learn from the world around you.”Time Stamps[00:55] Meet Jill Ransome, SVP of Marketing and Communications at Unite Us[01:53] Why Penn State Football?[02:50] Role of SVP of Marketing at Unite Us[03:53] Penn State Football: Tradition and Identity[19:08] B2B Marketing Lessons from Penn State Football[26:39] Brand and Marketing Strategies at Unite Us[29:47] Effective Content and Campaigns[36:24] Advice for CMOs[38:02] Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Jill on LinkedInLearn more about Unite UsAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

Massive “No Kings” protests swept across the country this weekend — peaceful, organized, and impossible to ignore. Chuck Todd breaks down what the demonstrations say about growing frustration with Trump’s leadership as his administration faces a government shutdown, soaring insurance costs, and a controversial new military campaign in the Caribbean. As Trump retweets crude AI videos and governs for only half the country, Congress remains silent on legally dubious strikes against Venezuela, an operation critics say has more to do with ousting Maduro than fighting drugs. Todd examines how America’s history of self-interest in Latin America and declining democratic norms at home have converged to create a moment of moral and political reckoning — and why ignoring it might come at a cost. Finally, Chuck Todd hops in the ToddCast Time Machine to recap the history of the Teapot Dome scandal and how it closely mirrors the corruption of the Trump administration, answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment, and recaps the weekend in college football.

Massive “No Kings” protests swept across the country this weekend — peaceful, organized, and impossible to ignore. Chuck Todd breaks down what the demonstrations say about growing frustration with Trump’s leadership as his administration faces a government shutdown, soaring insurance costs, and a controversial new military campaign in the Caribbean. As Trump retweets crude AI videos and governs for only half the country, Congress remains silent on legally dubious strikes against Venezuela, an operation critics say has more to do with ousting Maduro than fighting drugs. Todd examines how America’s history of self-interest in Latin America and declining democratic norms at home have converged to create a moment of moral and political reckoning — and why ignoring it might come at a cost. Then, Ars Technica space journalist Eric Berger joins Chuck Todd to unpack the new global race to the moon — and why it’s about power as much as science. With China poised to beat the U.S. back to the lunar surface, NASA’s Artemis program faces both technological and geopolitical pressure. Berger and Todd explore how space has become the next great stage for competition, where the first shots of a future war could be fired — not on Earth, but in orbit. From SpaceX’s dominance and Elon Musk’s influence, to Blue Origin’s lagging efforts and Boeing’s uncertain role, the conversation digs into who will actually shape humanity’s future beyond Earth. They also discuss the growing role of private companies in both space exploration and weather forecasting, how AI is reshaping meteorology, and whether we’ll ever see space-based energy or asteroid mining become viable. It’s a sweeping look at how politics, technology, and ambition are colliding — in a sky that’s getting more crowded by the day. Finally, Chuck Todd hops in the ToddCast Time Machine to recap the history of the Teapot Dome scandal and how it closely mirrors the corruption of the Trump administration, answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment, and recaps the weekend in college football.

HEADLINE: SpaceX Starship Success, Private Space Dominance, and Government Inaction GUEST NAME: Bob Zimmerman SUMMARY: Bob Zimmerman describes SpaceX's Starship Super Heavy 11th test flight as "remarkable," highlighting successful booster reuse and controlled re-entry despite missing tiles. He asserts that private enterprise, like SpaceX, runs the "real American space program" aimed at Mars colonization, outpacing government efforts. In contrast, European projects like Callisto, proposed in 2015, demonstrate government "inaction." JPL is also laying off staff following the cancellation of the Mars sample return project, forcing organizations like Lowell Observatory to seek private funding. 1958

The episode elucidates the remarkable football contest that transpired on October 16, 2006, between the Chicago Bears and the Arizona Cardinals, a game that has retained its significance in the annals of NFL history. The Chicago Bears, entering as the sole unbeaten team of the season, faced a formidable challenge against the Cardinals, who were striving to recover from a dismal start. The narrative unfolds with the Cardinals establishing a commanding 20-point lead by halftime, seemingly positioning themselves for victory. However, a remarkable transformation ensued as the Bears executed a strategic comeback, ultimately overcoming the deficit and securing a victory in dramatic fashion. This episode serves not only as a recounting of the game's events but also as a reflection on the broader implications for both franchises in the context of their respective seasons.Join us at the Pigskin Dispatch website to see even more Positive football news!

We recommend watching the video version of this episode on our YouTube channel, you can find it here:"Exploring the Remarkable Ruins of Volubilis"Scarcely a 30 minute drive north of Meknes are the Roman ruins of Volubilis one of the must-see highlights in Morocco. It is an easy day trip from Meknes, or even Fes, and well worth the stop. Volubilis is one of the most extensive and detailed Roman ruins outside of Europe, and was a major center in its own right from the 1st century AD until around 285, when it was captured by the local tribes. The city remained vibrant for centuries after, but by the 11th century, Volubilis was abandoned, although its structures remained quite intact. The infamous earthquake of 1755 put an end to that though, toppling most of what was left, with the stone and marble looted and taken to Meknes. Within 100 years, people have all but forgotten where Volubilis even was.Fortunately, archeologists rediscovered it in the late 19th century, and today Volubilis is an important site that gives a detailed glimpse into Roman life, 2000 years ago. When you visit, a local guide will be available to interpret the ruins, without whom you would only see stacks of rock and stones. Khalid was our guide in Volubilis, and he describes the architecture, mosaics, olive presses and more with fine detail and precision.Check out the video version of this episode to see fabulous views of Volubilis and the surrounding countryside, all interpreted by our expert guide: a snapshot of what you can expect when you come visit too!https://youtu.be/HnnIHY5880k Do you dream of exploring the enchanting land of Morocco?Destination Morocco is your ultimate travel experience for those seeking luxury and adventure.

A masterpiece doesn't have to be simple. Sometimes the most powerful stories emerge from complexity, cohesion, and staying power.That's the lesson of Picasso's Guernica, a chaotic painting that, when viewed as a whole, tells a timeless story. In this episode, we explore its marketing lessons with the help of our special guest Jerome Stewart, Chief Marketing Officer at Conviva.Together, we uncover what B2B marketers can learn from building campaigns with a unifying story, turning complexity into an advantage, and creating content designed to resonate long after launch.About our guest, Jerome StewartJerome Stewart is the Chief Marketing Officer at Conviva. He is a dynamic and people-driven marketing executive with a proven track record of building high-performing teams, elevating brand visibility, and driving revenue growth in early-stage and industry-leading technology companies. Jerome is an experienced global leader with six years of international business experience outside the USA, as well as an accomplished Amazon bestselling author.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Guernica:Campaigns need a unifying story. Guernica shows how fragmented, chaotic elements can form one powerful story. Jerome says, “Each one of those [individual pictures] stands out, but when you take a step back and you look at it in its entirety. Indeed, there is a cohesive story.” Marketing works the same way; every asset matters, but true impact comes when the pieces connect into a bigger, memorable narrative.Complexity can be an advantage. At first glance, Guernica looks disorganized and overwhelming. However, his chaotic canvas still communicates a clear message. Jerome points out, “Maybe some people look at a more modern artistic style… and you can say, ‘Hey, this just looks really messy.' But as I say, dig in a little bit deeper and you see there's a very rich story.” In marketing, don't be afraid of layered stories. Campaigns that invite discovery can spark deeper connection and longer attention.Strive for timeless content. Picasso's painting still sparks reflection nearly a century later. Jerome connects this to marketing: “We're trying to tell stories and we're trying to come up with stories that stand out and that maybe stand the test of time. That will resonate into the future.” Campaigns should be built with staying power, not just to make noise at launch but to linger and influence long after.Quote“A bar to hold ourselves against is did we tell a story? Was it clear? And something else that Picasso did brilliantly well, he took something as complex as war, and he didn't simplify it in any way. He did something cohesive. [We have to] challenge ourselves to do the best that we possibly can to tell those stories.”Time Stamps[00:55] Meet Jerome Stewart, Chief Marketing Officer at Conviva[01:34] Why Guernica?[06:57] Visiting Guernica and Its Impact[14:58] Role as CMO at Conviva[16:45] Understanding Guernica[28:08] B2B Marketing Takeaways from Guernica[35:31] Marketing Insights and Strategies[42:27] Advice for CMOs[44:53] Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Jerome on LinkedInLearn more about ConvivaAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

In a season of Stillness, but I'm still here. ❤️
This week's episode features an engaging conversation where Joe opens up to Cody about his recent decision to finally cancel his Xbox GamePass subscription. After months of contemplating its value versus the time he actually spent gaming, Joe felt it was the right move to make. This cancellation prompts a deeper discussion about gaming habits and how they can shift over time, especially as other interests begin to take precedence. Following this, Joe shares his experience with the ReMarkable 2 tablet, which his brother recently purchased. He describes the unique features of the device, particularly its paper-like feel and the ease with which he can take notes and sketch ideas. Joe delves into how this tablet has influenced his productivity and creativity, making it an appealing option for anyone looking to enhance their digital note-taking experience.As the conversation progresses, Joe reveals that he has been contemplating a return to the world of comic books, but this time through digital formats. He reflects on his childhood nostalgia for flipping through the pages of comic books and how the digital landscape has evolved to offer a plethora of options for readers today. Joe mentions various platforms and apps that cater to comic book enthusiasts, making it easier than ever to access a vast array of titles and genres. This leads to an intriguing discussion about the differences between physical and digital comics, including the advantages of portability and searchability that digital versions provide.Transitioning from comics, Joe brings up some recent news regarding The Witcher series of books. He discusses how CD Projekt Red, the developers behind the popular Witcher video games, have taken creative liberties in expanding on storylines and characters that were not originally present in Andrzej Sapkowski's written works. This opens a dialogue about the balance between staying true to source material and the necessity of adapting narratives for different media. Joe shares specific examples of characters and plotlines that were fleshed out in the games, sparking a debate on whether these additions enhance or detract from the original story. Furthermore, Joe excitedly mentions a new addition to The Witcher universe: a prequel book by Andrzej Sapkowski that promises to explore untold tales and deepen the lore of the series.In response, Cody shares his thoughts on a book he has been immersed in lately, titled The End of the World As We Know It: New Tales of Stephen King's The Stand. He expresses his admiration for the way the anthology captures the essence of King's storytelling while introducing new perspectives and narratives within the established universe. Cody reflects on how the collection not only pays homage to the original work but also expands on the themes of survival and human resilience in the face of apocalypse, making it a compelling read for both long-time fans and newcomers alike.As the episode draws to a close, the duo shifts gears to discuss the much-anticipated return of Reading Rainbow. Both Joe and Cody reminisce about how the show impacted their childhoods and instilled a love for reading. They explore the significance of such educational programs in today's digital age and the importance of fostering literacy among younger generations. Their conversation highlights the ways in which Reading Rainbow has evolved and adapted to modern platforms, ensuring that its mission to promote reading and learning continues to resonate with audiences today. This nostalgic yet forward-thinking discussion wraps up an episode filled with reflections on gaming, literature, and the enduring power of storytelling.Official Website: https://www.comesnaturallypodcast.comOfficial Merchandise: https://shop.spreadshirt.com/comes-naturally-podcast/iTunes: http://tinyurl.com/kqkgackFacebook: http://tinyurl.com/myovgm8Tumblr: http://tinyurl.com/m7a6mg9Twitter: @ComesNaturalPodYouTube: http://tiny.cc/5snxpy

Big budgets and star power don't guarantee success. Sometimes it takes time, refinement, and the right story to win an audience.That's the journey of The Gilded Age, the HBO drama that overcame early skepticism to become a hit. In this episode, we dig into its marketing parallels with the help of our special guest Laura Goldberg, Chief Marketing Officer at Auctane.Together, we explore what B2B marketers can learn from practicing patience, locking in product-market fit, and doubling down when momentum builds to gain lasting growth.About our guest, Laura GoldbergLaura Goldberg is the Chief Marketing Officer at Auctane. She is a seasoned, operations-driven go-to-market executive with a proven track record of propelling software companies to new heights, particularly serving small and medium sized businesses (SMBs), a vital segment for Auctane. Goldberg excels in crafting data-driven marketing strategies that resonate with customer needs, and her expertise will be key in advancing Auctane's mission to deliver exceptional shipping and mailing experiences to businesses worldwide.Previously, Laura was the CMO at Constant Contact, a digital marketing platform trusted by millions of small businesses and nonprofits. She has also held marketing leadership positions at Kabbage, an American Express Company, and LegalZoom, where she played key roles in driving customer growth, revenue expansion, and EBITDA improvements, leading to successful exits for both companies.What B2B Companies Can Learn From The Gilded Age:Patience is essential. The Gilded Age wasn't an overnight success—it built momentum slowly, and Laura sees the same in B2B marketing. “You gotta have patience. You gotta see it more than once. It has to build. You may not, be a… hot [thing] out of the gate. But… it's gonna build. Nobody makes a decision… with The Gilded Age, it's, you know, a solid hour and you gotta pay attention. Like you have to make a commitment to it and it takes time.” Marketing results rarely happen instantly. Success comes from committing, nurturing, and allowing campaigns to grow into traction over time.Product-market fit is non-negotiable. The show's elaborate sets and costumes bought it some time, but what kept audiences hooked was stronger storytelling in later seasons. Laura draws a clear B2B parallel: “You may have some stumbles outta the gate… You gotta deliver the goods. The product market fit, if you will, has to be there eventually. It doesn't have to be perfect right outta the gate, but it has to get to perfect pretty quickly.” In other words: creative campaigns and strong distribution will only get you so far—if the product doesn't ultimately deliver, marketing can't save itLean in when you gain traction. Once The Gilded Age started buzzing online, the promotion amplified everywhere. Laura says the same is true for B2B: “Once you get traction, lean in. When I tell you that my socials, everything I see is talking about this show… I see Mr. Russell in his flower suit all over the internet. By the way, I think it's an interview from two years ago that I keep seeing. So recycle all that stuff. But like once you feel that traction gripping, lean in, like repeat, be on everything. Repost, retweet… you have to lean in when you're doing well and really get that momentum.” Marketers should maximize momentum, recycle strong content, and make sure their presence is unavoidable when the audience is paying attention.Quote“ Customer, customer, customer. I feel like too many times it's really easy to talk about why your product's great and what it does… but you really have to frame it in the, what are you doing for me and me being the customer. How am I making things faster, cheaper, better for your end customer with what we're doing, and making sure that you're not just yelling features and functionality at people.”Time Stamps[00:55] Meet Laura Goldberg, Chief Marketing Officer at Auctane[01:14] Why The Gilded Age?[02:57] The Role of CMO at Auctane[09:50] What is The Gilded Age?[26:28] The Craft of Period Pieces[29:19] B2B Marketing Lessons from The Gilded Age[31:43] Laura's Marketing Strategy as a CMO[37:25] Winning Across Channels[49:35] Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Laura on LinkedInLearn more about AuctaneAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.
