How do you balance fraud protection with customer experience when every security measure potentially adds friction to your users' journey?Join hosts Chuck Moxley and Nick Paladino as they talk with Tutu Adenle, a fraud prevention and customer experience expert who has navigated complex challenges at companies like Twitter, American Express, and Eventbrite. Tutu shares eye-opening insights about the sophisticated ways bad actors exploit marketplaces, from testing stolen credit cards to account takeovers, and explains why customers are now grateful for fraud alerts rather than annoyed by them.Tutu also reveals how she tackled content moderation on a global scale at Twitter, where moderating human behavior required understanding cultural nuances across different countries and regions. She discusses the delicate balance of implementing fraud detection tools that protect customers while maintaining a smooth user experience, and explains why building frictionless experiences requires understanding human behavior and constantly monitoring customer service data to know when you've gone too far.Main Takeaways from this episode:Embrace protective friction — Well-placed fraud prevention measures actually build customer loyalty when customers understand they're being protected, as evidenced by positive reactions to banking fraud alerts.Map friction strategically — Place fraud detection at critical points in the customer journey rather than throughout the entire experience, understanding where security is essential versus where it impedes legitimate users.Monitor customer service data religiously — Contact center volume and categories are your best early warning system for when friction has crossed from protective to frustrating, since customers will always tell you when something isn't working.Want more tips and strategies to create frictionless user experiences?

We are currently in an era that celebrates self-expression. Whether online or in person, we are encouraged to share our thoughts and emotions. Unlike previous generations, we now have the freedom to openly express how we feel. While there are numerous advantages to sharing our emotions with others, overdoing it can have its drawbacks. That's why it's essential to strike a balance between emotional control and expressiveness. This balance, tailored to our personal preferences and the context we find ourselves in, is key to navigating the world of emotional expression with confidence and reassurance. To delve deeper into this subject, I have invited Sahar Milani, an Experiential Brand Specialist and Host of the Mindful Makers Podcast and Laura Roche, an MC, podcaster and mindfulness and self-compassion expert, to join me for an in-depth discussion. Sahar Milani is the founder and Experiential Director of Sorshaa, a global brand strategist with a passion for human connection, storytelling, and wellbeing. With over 20 years of experience in mindfulness and a career spanning Europe, MENA, and Southeast Asia, she helps brands communicate with clarity and purpose to create meaningful impact. Sahar is also the host of Mindful Makers, a podcast spotlighting individuals and brands making a positive difference, recognized as one of the top 8 female-led MENA podcasts by SheerLuxe Middle East. Her work sits at the intersection of curiosity, creativity, and conscious communication. Laura Roche was born and raised in Spain and holds a bachelor's degree in Social Pedagogy and a Master's in Mindfulness for Conscious Organizations from the University of Barcelona. She's also a mindfulness and self-compassion teacher from the University of San Diego, California. She spent hundreds of hours on retreats and even lived for short periods at a Buddhist temple. Having lived and worked on four continents, she has garnered valuable knowledge and experience in dealing with a multitude of people and cultures, always learning and opening herself up to new experiences. In this interview, we examine the various aspects of emotional expression, weighing its advantages and disadvantages. More importantly, we share practical strategies for achieving a healthy balance.

In this thought-provoking episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ben Johnson, founder of Osmosis Skincare, returns to challenge everything you think you know about skincare. From overprescribed medications to the obsession with exfoliation, Dr. Johnson breaks down why the industry's go-to methods might be doing more harm than good.He takes us behind the scenes of traditional dermatology, calling out harsh treatments like antibiotics, Accutane, and peels that treat symptoms but ignore root causes. Instead, he promotes a whole-body approach—one that starts with gut health, hormonal balance, and inflammation control.One standout topic? The exfoliation myth. Dr. Johnson explains why that post-peel “glow” might actually be trauma, not health. Rather than stripping the skin, he advocates for strengthening it—protecting the barrier, supporting circulation, and embracing intelligent ingredients that nourish rather than inflame.The conversation also rethinks cleansing, highlighting Osmosis's Purify Cleanser as a model for how skincare can be both gentle and effective. Plus, Dr. Johnson shares new insights into the gut-skin axis, the post-COVID microbiome shift, and how popular supplements might be contributing to skin issues like SIBO and H. pylori flares.If you're tired of the same old skincare advice, this episode offers a refreshing, science-driven alternative. It's not just about looking good—it's about helping your skin function as it was meant to. Tune in for a deep, transformative look at what it really means to have healthy skin.CHAPTERS:(0:02) – Introduction: Welcoming Dr. Ben Johnson(1:11) – Realizing the Flaws in Traditional Dermatology(3:50) – The Obsession with Exfoliation in Skincare(5:16) – The Truth About Exfoliation and Its Harmful Effects(7:23) – How Exfoliation Affects the Skin's Natural Barrier(9:02) – The Concept of "Glow" and Alternative Approaches(11:01) – The Importance of Proper Cleansing in Skincare(12:50) – The Right Balance for Cleansing: Lipids and Surfactants(15:18) – The Microbiome: Keeping It Intact for Healthy Skin(19:24) – The Connection Between Skin Health and Gut Health(22:57) – Exploring the Role of Epigenetics in Gut and Skin Health(25:25) – H.

When it comes to tax deductions and business expenses, business owners can often fall into two extreme mindsets, either trying to deduct everything under the sun or being too conservative and missing out on legitimate tax savings. In this episode, Danielle Hayden, CEO and founder of Kickstart Accounting, Inc., and Kelsey Chester, Kickstart's Lead Account Manager, break down tax deductions in a way that's clear and strategic. They'll walk you through what truly qualifies as a business expense, how to avoid common tax mistakes, and why smart financial planning is about more than just lowering your tax bill, while still claiming the savings you deserve. Key Takeaways: Understand the “Ordinary & Necessary” Rule: The IRS allows deductions for expenses that are common in your industry and essential for running your business. If you can clearly explain the expense's purpose in an audit, you're likely in the clear! Avoid IRS Red Flags: Overspending on out-of-the-ordinary purchases or misclassifying personal expenses as business ones can trigger unwanted IRS attention. Your Business's Health & Goals Matter: Trying to write off too many personal expenses can hurt your ability to get business loans or sell your company later. Separate Business & Personal Finances: Keep all business expenses on a business account or card to ensure clean, organized records. Your bookkeeper can only track and make deductions based on what they see in your business accounts. Smart Travel Deductions: Business travel is deductible, but the primary purpose must be work-related. A "board meeting" at Disney with your family? Not so much. Invest in the Right Money Team: Your bookkeeper, accountant, and tax strategist should be working to keep your finances organized, tax-efficient, and strategically planned all year long, not just at tax time. Think Long-Term with Tax Strategy: Lowering your tax bill is great, but don't do it at the expense of your business's future. Plan ahead so deductions today don't limit growth opportunities tomorrow.

In this episode of 'No Brainer,' Greg Verdino and Geoff Livingston are joined by Nina and Steven Moss, co-founders of Mendit.ai, to address the growing influence of AI on marketing and content creation. They discuss the positive and negative impacts of AI-generated content, the importance of maintaining authenticity, and how technology can be used to detect and limit the spread of fraudulent reviews and misinformation. Takeaways AI is creating a lot of synthetic content that can pollute digital ecosystems. The social impact of AI-generated content wasn't fully considered during its rollout. Marketers need to inspire real content rather than rely on AI slop. Understanding algorithms is crucial for navigating the digital landscape. AI can be tailored to meet specific customer needs, enhancing personalization. Digital literacy is essential for consumers to discern misinformation. Brands must take responsibility for the integrity of their online presence. The ethical implications of AI-generated content are significant and need addressing. AI can enhance productivity but should not replace human connection. The future of marketing will require a balance between AI efficiency and human authenticity.

He advises against using unrelated categories and highlights the impact of reviews, noting that businesses should actively ask for positive reviews.
