Duolingo built the internet's favorite brand on rented land—the best shared media engine on the planet, run through one green owl on platforms it doesn't control. In this month's PESO Model® Diagnostic, Gini Dietrich looks at what the legend leaves out: an owned media record too thin to defend the brand when the 2025 "AI-first" backlash hit. You'll learn why Duo's chaos is actually disciplined character work, why AI engines ignore your funniest channel and cite your machine-readable record instead, and the three fixes that apply to any brand being told to "just go viral."

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - The first tenants have been living at Rainbow Ridge for a month, and Cortes Island's affordable housing complex is now offering tours of the site. There were fifteen of us on Saturday, July 24. Most were curious neighbours, but a couple of people asked about rental rates, and there were also a couple of tourists. One summer resident, who does not have a washer or dryer, was very interested in the laundry club that will operate out of the community building. Mark Lombard, the construction manager, gave Cortes Currents an interview after the tour. Work was in progress in a nearby building and construction noises periodically enter the audio.

Sean Stone of Spillover Commerce joins Mike to explain why most Amazon sellers fail when they try Meta ads and the fix: anchor your first campaign to a real event, not a generic sale. They break down a live case study: a Father's Day push that turned $8K in ad spend into $38K in sales for a brand whose Shopify site normally got 10 visitors a day. Topics include the offer ingredients you need, reverse-engineering winning ads from the Facebook Ad Library, avoiding creative fatigue, and building a year-round holiday calendar for your product. We'll see you in The PPC Den!

Social is where discovery happens now, but it is rented land. You can build an audience of hundreds of thousands and still not own the relationship, because the algorithm decides who sees you and the landlord keeps raising the rent. Recorded live at K:LDN 2026 in London, this conversation is about turning borrowed reach into something a brand actually owns. It pairs the person building the tooling with the person living the problem every day. Brett Bernstein, who came to Klaviyo through its acquisition of Gatsby and now leads its new social product, sits down with Kathleen Loftus, Marketing Director at Sculpted by Aimee, an Irish cosmetics brand with a 350,000-strong Instagram following. Kathleen runs brand, creative, PR, influencer, CRM, and paid under one roof, which is exactly why she can trace a viral moment all the way to revenue. She walks through a campaign built on a piece of theater: teasing the discontinuation of a beloved cream blush. The stunt ran as a closed loop, from Instagram to the brand's broadcast channel to a website waitlist, and it sold roughly eight weeks of forecast stock in under a week. Brett and Kathleen then dig into the unglamorous problem underneath the fun: attribution, why the brand rebuilt its entire UTM structure this year, and how so many of the people engaging with a brand never actually hit follow. The payoff is a practical view of what it means to own the social moment: spotting the commenters and lurkers who signal intent, and giving them a reason to move into channels the brand controls. Why Rent Platforms When You Can Own Relationships? What you'll learn Why keeping social, CRM, and paid on one team is what lets social activity connect to revenue How a brand decides what to post when every post has to earn its place, not just chase reach The mechanics of a closed-loop campaign that turned a discontinuation stunt into a sold-out waitlist Why social attribution starts with unglamorous plumbing, and what rebuilding a UTM structure buys you Why most people engaging with a brand on social never follow it, and why following is the wrong metric to chase How to move commenters and lurkers off rented platforms into email and SMS Pull quotes "Not everything needs a million likes or a million views, but it has to have a purpose to be on our channels." — Kathleen Loftus, Marketing Director, Sculpted by Aimee [~7:05] "We sold out eight weeks' worth of our forecasted product in less than a week." — Kathleen Loftus [~9:15] "Instagram is the landlord that keeps raising the rent every month." — Kathleen Loftus [13:23] "You might think they're no longer an active customer, but then you notice their comments on your content.

Are you truly in control of the demand for your short-term rentals, or have you quietly outsourced it to the OTAs without even realizing it? Relying solely on large platforms means you don't actually own your customer base; the hosts who master true demand generation are the ones who will thrive in the next phase of our industry.In this episode, I sit down with Amber Knight, the founder of Bookings Cloud and a seasoned veteran of vacation rental heavyweights like Vacasa, Rented, Inhabit, and LiveRez. We're unpacking what it really means to build a direct guest acquisition engine for your properties and step into true ownership of your business.We talk about:How public booking platforms control the narrative using your listing content, and why reclaiming that control is vital for long-term business survival.Why a beautiful direct booking website means nothing if it breaks guest trust by kicking them over to an unbranded, clunky PMS engine at the final step.Utilizing true paid social ads, not just boosted posts, to feed rich property data into algorithms that match your stay with the perfect guest.Why clicks on Meta can be pennies compared to dollars on Google, why you should never put pricing in your ads, and how to automate property-level campaigns at scale.Clear guidance on when to focus strictly on guest communication versus when your portfolio size justifies a full website investment.We pull back the curtain on the messy reality of data tracking and attribution in a world of privacy laws and GA4. You'll hear why diversifying your booking sources isn't just a quick fix for the low season, but a long-game retirement strategy that compounds over time and builds a business with real enterprise value.If you are ready to move from hoping bookings show up to intentionally creating your own demand, this conversation will give you the playbook. Get ready to stop letting other platforms dictate your revenue and start engineering your own growth.HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY POINTS:[01:03] A short introduction about our guests Amber Knight, and journey from growing up around vacation rentals to building a career focused on strengthening local hospitality businesses and destination communities[04:12] Amber reflects on how intentionally building a life and business through consistent daily actions creates opportunities that once seemed out of reach[06:10] Amber explains how owning guest demand has become a critical competitive advantage as short-term rental operators can no longer rely solely on OTAs to drive bookings[10:58] Amber emphasizes that successful demand generation starts with building trust and creating a direct-booking experience that converts website visitors into guests[18:24] How demand generation moves beyond simply having a trusted website and focuses on actively driving qualified traffic to it [21:07] Amber breaks down Meta advertising as a layered system—from organic content to fully automated, property-level ads—designed to turn raw property data into targeted demand at scale[28:15] Amber explains when paid social becomes viable for STR operators based on ad spend consistency and unit economics versus OTA commissions[30:40] What are the effective Meta ads for STRs rely on high-intent, property-specific visuals and structured data feeding rather than pricing-driven creatives[33:35] Amber explains that attribution is imperfect and long-term direct booking growth should be measured through influence, pacing, and consistent investment rather than immediate ROAS results[42:16] The lightning round Golden Nuggets:“It's really empowering that we each have the ability to build a business around a life that we love.”“If every day you make another step to get to the life you want, the career you want, in the place that you want, eventually you'll get there.”“A business that is sellable does not require the owner to be in the day to day.”“You can't change what happens to you, you can change how you respond to it.”Let's Connect:Website : www.bookingscloud.com Instagram : https://www.linkedin.com/company/bookingscloud/ Email : aknight@bookingscloud.comProudly sponsored by PriceLabsEnjoyed the show?

Shattering the Myth of Hessian Invincibility at the Battle of Trenton. Guest: Professor Richard Bell. King George III rented 30,000 German soldiers, known as Hessians, to crush the American insurgency, leading to widespread patriot terror. Washington's victory at Trenton was a crucial symbolic blow that proved these "savage cutthroats" were human and defeatable. Following their capture, Hessian prisoners were sent to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where they were encouraged to desert or defect to the American cause. This strategy resulted in 5,000 desertions, with many Hessians eventually becoming naturalized citizens and even contributing to early American culture, such as writing the unofficial national anthem. 518181

This week, Joe and Robert lead with Anthropic's safety warning and what it means for marketers building AI-driven systems. Joe sees a real challenge ahead: how can marketers confidently build AI platforms and processes when models, access, regulations, and rules keep changing? Robert is not so sure and thinks some of this may be more theater and marketing than actual danger. Who's right? Maybe nobody knows yet. The boys also discuss Fox buying Roku and why the deal is less about content and more about distribution, data, advertising, and owning the screen before the viewer decides what to watch. Plus...Sam Harris doesn't care if it's AI or not. In marketing winners and losers, Robert's winner is a Publicis video, while Joe's winner is Carvana and its move into new-car sales. In rants, raves, and commentary, Joe raves about Sweden pulling back on digital learning for kids and bringing back more books, paper, and handwriting. Robert talks about the LinkedIn and Adobe launch, which may not really be much of a launch at all. Robert also discusses the new AI awards from Cannes.

Success isn't owned—it's rented, and the rent is due every single day.Most people think one good effort is enough to coast for months or years. That's not how it works. Keeping your edge at speaking, leadership, or even in your personal life, means you have to keep showing up, every single day.Great results are never guaranteed or permanent. The moment you stop putting in the work, you start falling behind. If you want lasting success, repetition and everyday effort are your only options.Here's what you'll learn:Why success, team culture, and even your health are “rented”—so that you understand why consistency, not one-time effort, is what builds lasting impact.The real cost of falling behind on “the rent”—so you spot the quiet, slow slide that can cost you big opportunities.How to keep your speaking skills sharp with simple, everyday actions—so that you're ready for any unscheduled meeting or last-minute speaking slot.Strategies to build trust and loyalty with your team—so they bring you their best every day, not just once.How to avoid scrambling when it's too late and instead stay prepared on purpose—so you turn high-pressure moments into easy wins.Keep paying the rent, and watch how opportunity knocks at your door—day after day.>>>Book your Executive Presence Audit: https://speakandstandout.com/executive-presenceExperts Edge newsletter delivered right to you inbox: https://speakandstandout.com/bid-newsletterConnect with me on:LinkedIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laurie-ann-murabitoInstagram: @laurieann.murabitoVisit my website for more advice and tips

Last Monday, a ChatGPT outage caused a ripple of chaos that most people wrote off as a minor inconvenience. However, while many were struggling to write emails, I couldn't stop thinking about what happened last summer. If you didn't know, a Starlink outage left 24 autonomous U.S. Navy vessels drifting listlessly off the coast of California. For over an hour, these multi-million dollar assets were nothing more than high-tech paperweights because the "signal" they relied on simply vanished.  In this week's episode of Future-Focused, I'm launching a special two-part series on Fortifying Organizational Fragility. We are currently operating in a "False Middle," believing we are too smart or too resilient to be disrupted, while unknowingly building our businesses on rented foundations. In Part 1, I'm declassifying the "Rat's Nest" of modern technical infrastructure and explaining why your clean management dashboard might be the biggest indicator of a dangerous delusion you're building.  My goal is to help you move from being a "tenant" of your own operations to a sovereign architect. I'll walk you through the evolution of our dependency, from the early days of SaaS to the "Ghost Data" layers to the rise of autonomous tech, and provide three surgical moves to ensure your organization doesn't end up "bobbing in the ocean" when the signal drops:  ​ The "No-Assumption" Dependency Map: Most leaders operate off what they think they know about their tech stack. I break down why you must partner with both Finance and IT to unearth the "rogue tech" and "Ghost Data" layers that are currently invisible to your leadership team.  ​ The Signal-Path Stress Test: You cannot test what you haven't mapped. I explain why you must resist the urge to do this in parallel with your audit and how to simulate a "Signal Cut" to see if your logic stays at the edge or if your entire operation collapses.  ​ Prioritizing Core Resilience Gaps: You can't fix a twenty-year "Rat's Nest" overnight. I'll help you identify the top three gaps that could actually sink the ship and show you how to build "Human Manual Overrides" into your most critical agentic workflows.  By the end of this episode, I hope to challenge you to look past the green status lights and start asking the hard questions about who actually owns the "brain" of your company.  Next week, we'll dive into Part 2, where we look at the human side of this fragility: the rise of mercenary talent and the crisis of cognitive atrophy.  ⸻If this conversation helps you think more clearly about the future we're building, make sure to like, share, and subscribe.

The episode exposes a structural shift in the MSP sector toward increased commoditization and infrastructure dependence, with an industry trend favoring outsourced, app-focused service delivery over internal technical depth. Protected Harbor, led by Richard Luna, is presented as a counterpoint—running its own infrastructure and software, and prioritizing ownership of the technical stack rather than relying extensively on third-party platforms. Luna argues this industry-wide movement has created a market where low entry barriers and rented, commoditized solutions undermine differentiation and inflate operational risk. Central to the discussion is the declining emphasis on technical generalists within MSP organizations, replaced by hyper-specialization and a proliferation of app resale as a service model. Luna attributes industry-wide declines in service quality and net promoter scores (typically ranging from 30–38 for MSPs) to these trends, suggesting the loss of generalist skills erodes problem-solving capacity and increases reliance on external vendors for core functions. He states that running owned infrastructure and open-source tools allows for tighter cost controls, standardization, and faster response to operational events—a contrast to MSP models that outsource most functions. Supporting developments include a detailed critique of the risk dynamics associated with using hyperscale vendors for client-facing services. Luna distinguishes between utility-grade services like power, which can be outsourced without significantly affecting the customer relationship, and services closer to the client experience (e.g., remote access, help desk, data workflows) that, if outsourced, reduce both control and differentiation. Additional risk surfaces are highlighted with the integration of AI and automation, especially when MSPs use large public models that may ingest sensitive client data and create potential information leakage or competitive exposure. The operational implications for MSPs and IT leaders include heightened vendor dependency, expanding contract risk, and declining service quality when organizations prioritize app resale and specialization over in-house competency and direct infrastructure management. To mitigate these risks, the episode suggests MSPs should reassess which functions to control internally versus outsource, invest in developing technical generalists, and scrutinize the downstream effects of workflow automation and AI adoption—especially regarding client data privacy, model training, and real-time operational accountability.

From losing his entire $25,000 life savings on his first investment to backing over 70 startups, Andrew Ackerman shares proven strategies for evaluating founders, testing assumptions cheaply, and why the best entrepreneurs see deals where others see nothing. In this episode of the DealQuest Podcast, host Corey Kupfer sits down with Andrew Ackerman, a serial entrepreneur turned early-stage investor and innovation expert. Andrew is currently a strategic advisor and head of Reach Labs at Second Century Ventures, consults on corporate innovation strategies and venture studios, and serves as an adjunct professor of entrepreneurship. He previously served as managing director at DreamIt Adventures, one of the top five accelerator programs in the world. He has invested in over 70 startups and written over 60 published articles for Forbes, Fortune, and other major publications. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: In this episode, you'll discover why Andrew looks for the instinct to hustle for deals rather than focusing on the idea itself, how accelerators fill the gap between friends and family money and proper VC rounds, and why testing assumptions with a five-dollar pack of index cards can save months of development time. Andrew explains the real difference between SAFE notes and convertible notes, what makes lawyers often terrible startup advisors, and the SeatGeek origin story that proves early testing can turn a failing startup into a billion-dollar company. ANDREW'S JOURNEY: Andrew's path started with both grandfathers as entrepreneurs, one running candy shops and the other creating insurance products. Coming out of University of Chicago in the 90s when startups weren't a thing, he chose consulting before realizing the startup world had caught up. His first venture Bunk One provided internet services for summer camps and exited successfully. His second startup taught harder lessons through founder drama and failure. Angel investing came accidentally through a pharma deal he admits he had no business making, but getting lucky early hooked him. Eventually he joined DreamIt Adventures, running their New York office. KEY INSIGHTS: When evaluating founders, Andrew looks for the instinct to hustle. He shared an example of a founder who rented pencils in fifth grade for a nickel a day. Not sold. Rented. That entrepreneurial DNA shows up early and separates successful founders from everyone else. The SeatGeek story proves early testing works. A startup in his accelerator tested conversion rates early instead of waiting, discovered they were completely off, pivoted in seven weeks, and built a billion-dollar company. Lawyers often make terrible startup advisors because their incentive structure is backwards. Billing by the hour doesn't reward speed, and careers focused on avoiding mistakes rather than making deals happen. Perfect for founders thinking about raising capital, anyone curious about how accelerators work, aspiring angel investors wondering how to evaluate founders, and entrepreneurs who want practical frameworks for testing assumptions.

Reverend Martha Kate Hall discusses the concept of discipleship, emphasizing that belief in Jesus is just the beginning of the journey, while true discipleship requires sustained devotion, obedience, and abiding in God's Word. ​ Using metaphors like fishing, mountain climbing, and the imagery of a vine and branches, it illustrates the importance of remaining connected to God to bear fruit and grow spiritually. ​ Abiding involves time, effort, and faithfulness, and leads to freedom, joy, and a deeper relationship with God. ​ Martha Kate challenges the audience to reflect on their spiritual commitment, encouraging them to move beyond "renting" their faith and instead put down roots through prayer, studying Scripture, and engaging in Christian community. ​ Discipleship is described as a lifelong process of growth and connection with God and others. ​

In the early 1990s, specifically from 1992 to 1995, Jeffrey Epstein leased a former Iranian diplomatic townhouse at 34 East 69th Street in Manhattan—property that the U.S. State Department had taken over after diplomatic relations with Iran ended. He paid $15,000 per month for the lease, and at some point sublet it to attorney Ivan Fisher and others. The State Department later sued Epstein, alleging he had violated the lease terms by subletting without permission and failed to make proper rent payments, ultimately seeking to evict him.This arrangement has drawn attention because, at the same time Epstein was building his reputation as a financial advisor and philanthropist, he leveraged government-leased real estate to house his associates. The legal case underscores a pattern of Epstein navigating institutional systems—from government leases to elite circles—often stretching or disregarding the rules while maintaining a facade of legitimacy.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/rosiegray/jeffrey-epstein-state-department
