Welcome to this week's Blonde Intelligence, I am your host Ms. Roni and I always seek to give you exquisite cranial repertoire. What happens when commercial interests collide with cultural authenticity? The recent Drake-Kendrick Lamar rap beef and Young Thug's leaked jail calls have sparked crucial conversations about hip-hop's soul as the genre marks its 50th anniversary.Diving deep into this cultural moment, we explore how Kendrick's pointed lyrics in "The Heart Part 4" serve as a critical response to perceived inauthenticity in contemporary hip-hop. When Mos Def famously dismissed Drake's music as "Target shopping music," he highlighted the growing tension between commercial success and cultural integrity. Meanwhile, Young Thug's controversial jail call comments reveal troubling dynamics where personal conflicts overshadow the artistry hip-hop was built upon.Hip-hop emerged from 1970s Bronx as more than music—it was a powerful voice for marginalized communities facing social injustice and economic disparity. True hip-hop carries profound responsibilities: community upliftment, youth engagement, authentic representation, and social activism. As the genre evolves, with hip-hop elements likely appearing in virtually all music by 2025, artists must navigate their responsibilities carefully, balancing innovation with respect for the culture's foundational values.This episode challenges both artists and listeners to consider what it means to honor hip-hop's legacy while embracing its evolution. Are we preserving the authentic voice that made hip-hop revolutionary, or sacrificing cultural integrity for commercial appeal? The conversation isn't just about music—it's about cultural preservation, community responsibility, and the power of authentic expression.Subscribe on YouTube, follow on social media, or listen on all major podcast platforms to join the conversation about hip-hop's past, present, and future.

Welcome to this week's Blonde Intelligence. I am your host Ms. Roni and I always seek to give you exquisite cranial repertoire. What's the difference between a true friend and someone who's just using you? Can authentic friendships exist in the cutthroat world of entertainment? These questions drive our unflinching exploration of friendship dynamics across both everyday life and the high-stakes entertainment industry.We dive deep into the "frenemy" phenomenon—that peculiar relationship marked by public camaraderie and private rivalry. Think about those reality TV personalities who smile in your face while talking behind your back, or industry colleagues who support you only when cameras are rolling. The entertainment world magnifies these dynamics, as careers often depend on who you know and how you leverage those connections. When Jay-Z claims he and Puffy were merely "business acquaintances" rather than friends, it reveals volumes about how relationships function when fame and fortune are on the line.The red flags of toxic friendships deserve your attention: constant criticism designed to make you feel inadequate, visible jealousy when you succeed, manipulation that positions you as the problem, attention-seeking behavior, and perhaps most telling—one-sided support where you're always giving but rarely receiving. We explore the psychology behind these dynamics and why so many of us ignore these warning signs until it's too late. Most importantly, we discuss the power of trusting your instincts. If you're constantly questioning someone's loyalty, that uncertainty itself is your answer.Ready to evaluate your own friendships with new clarity? Listen now, and don't forget to subscribe and share your experiences in the comments. Is there someone in your life who exhibits these toxic traits? Or have you found genuine connection despite the challenges of modern relationships? We want to hear your story.Support the show

Welcome to this week's Indie Artist Music Hustle with Blonde Intelligence. I am your host Ms. Roni and I always seek to give you exquisite cranial repertoire. Seattle-born indie pop artist Longboat brings a refreshingly unique approach to music creation that defies conventional expectations. With a voice that evokes comparisons to Duran Duran and a creative spirit that embraces the unconventional, Longboat crafts narrative-driven compositions that deliberately avoid the typical love songs dominating the pop landscape."I don't write love songs," he explains during our candid conversation. "I write songs about things that have stories behind them." This philosophy has fueled an impressively prolific output – Longboat has already released numerous albums with seven more coming in the next year and a half. During the pandemic alone, he created six complete albums, demonstrating his unwavering commitment to musical expression regardless of external circumstances.What makes Longboat's music particularly compelling is his storytelling approach. His most recent works, recorded at London's prestigious Studios (where the Spice Girls recorded their debut album), represent his American perspective on British life. These albums explore everything from ghost stories and colonialism to mortality and revenge, all packaged in what he describes as "eclectic pop" – accessible melodies with unexpected subjects and sonic choices.When discussing today's AI-influenced music industry, Longboat positions himself as a welcome "glitch in the Matrix" – an unpredictable human element in an increasingly automated landscape. "The glitches in the Matrix are good things," he insists. "They are healthy for the rest of the matrix... those are the things that will lead to innovation." This perspective perfectly captures his artistic approach: authentic, distinctive, and unconstrained by commercial expectations.Ready to discover music that challenges and entertains in equal measure? Visit longboat.band or find his extensive catalog on Bandcamp. Longboat welcomes connection with listeners and values constructive feedback – a refreshing attitude from an artist who has clearly found his unique voice in today's crowded musical landscape.Support the show

Welcome to Indie Artist Music Hustle with Blonde Intelligence. I am your host Ms. Roni and I always seek to give you exquisite cranial repertoire. Karma works in mysterious ways. When Rashida Frost publicly dismissed K Michelle's domestic violence allegations on Love & Hip Hop Atlanta years ago, she couldn't have known that her own family would face a similar tragedy. The universe's scales of justice sometimes balance in unexpected and painful ways.This episode explores the complex intersection of reality TV drama and real-world consequences through the lens of the Frost family's current situation. We dive deep into how one woman's refusal to believe another's trauma has eerily manifested in her own life during what spiritual practitioners call the "Liongate portal" - when past wrongs resurface seeking resolution.Beyond celebrity drama, we examine the devastating ripple effects domestic violence creates through families, friend circles, and communities. Drawing from professional counseling experience, I unpack how witnessing abuse creates profound emotional burdens, especially for children who absorb this trauma in ways that can impact their entire lives. The painful truth is that domestic violence rarely stays contained between two people - it fractures support networks, creates impossible choices, and often ends in tragedy.The discussion extends to how enabling behaviors from family members through denial or minimization creates environments where victims feel trapped. Video evidence showed multiple abuse incidents involving Kelsey, suggesting countless more occurred off-camera. When victims say "I don't involve others because I know I'll go back," they're revealing the complex psychology of abuse cycles that frustrates those who want to help.What happens when we dismiss victims' experiences to protect relationships with perpetrators? This episode suggests the universe eventually provides painful opportunities for growth and transformation. By facing the consequences of previous inaction, we might emerge more empathetic, understanding, and committed to breaking cycles of violence in our communities.Subscribe to Indie Artist Music Hustle for more thought-provoking discussions on culture, music, and the cosmic balance of justice.

Welcome to this week's Indie Artist Music Hustle with Blonde Intelligence. I am your host Ms. Roni and I always seek to give you exquisite cranial repertoire Drake's spectacular fall from grace offers a masterclass in how quickly an artist can squander years of goodwill. What happens when one of hip-hop's most influential figures loses the respect of both peers and fans? The answer isn't pretty.The recent spectacle of Drake screaming at his own audience to form mosh pits, only to have water bottles hurled back at him, signals a troubling shift in his career trajectory. This podcast explores how Drake's seemingly one-sided obsession with competing against Kendrick Lamar has morphed from friendly rivalry into something far more concerning. The prophecy in Kendrick's lyrics—"the money, the power, the respect, the last one's better"—now rings with eerie precision as we witness Drake struggling to maintain his standing in the industry.Perhaps most telling is Drake's pattern of disrespect toward others. From dragging opponents' significant others into rap beefs to publicly ridiculing former partners in songs for years afterward, these behaviors reveal character issues that can't be obscured by commercial success. When compared with his earlier beef with Pusha T (which many felt Drake lost but recovered from), this latest chapter seems to be inflicting more lasting damage to his reputation. As the saying goes, it takes years to build respect and only moments to lose it.The timing couldn't be more symbolic, occurring during the Lion's Gate portal energy with multiple planets in retrograde—a cosmic period that often forces reckoning with past actions. For artists at any level, Drake's situation serves as a powerful reminder that while money and power might come easily with success, respect must be continually earned and carefully maintained. Once lost, it proves incredibly difficult to recapture.Want more insights on the music industry from both independent artists and industry professionals?

Welcome to this week's Indie Artist Music Hustle with Blonde Intelligence. I am your host Ms. Roni and I always seek to give you exquisite cranial repertoire. Growing up as a drummer in Houston's diverse music scene, John Lacey's path to becoming an innovative producer and MPC DJ reflects the evolution many musicians must navigate in today's digital landscape.From his early resistance to technology ("I don't like things crashing on me, I like just hitting just drums") to his current mastery of the MPC, John shares candid insights about the different skillsets required for acoustic versus digital music-making. "It takes more natural skill to play a drum set, but it's a different kind of skill," he explains, noting how traditional drumming depends on muscle memory while the MPC functions as "its own little brain" with infinite creative possibilities.What truly sets John apart is his revolutionary approach to DJing. Rather than using conventional turntables or controllers, he maps MPC buttons to control DJ software while performing live drum patterns on a second MPC simultaneously. "I'm just a performer," he says, describing how this dual-device setup creates "a performance within a performance" that audiences rarely experience from typical DJs. This innovative technique has helped him carve out a lucrative niche performing at weddings and events.Perhaps most refreshing is John's honesty about how fatherhood transformed his relationship with music. "Family is completely and utterly first for me," he emphasizes, candidly sharing that while many claim to create purely for artistic expression, his primary motivation is providing for his young sons. This perspective grounds his involvement with the Houston Bass Runners and National Beat Battle Association, where he showcases his finger drumming talents in online competitions. Check out his performances on YouTube to witness firsthand what happens when traditional percussion training meets digital innovation in the hands of a family man with serious skills.Support the show

Welcome to this week's Indie Artist Music Hustle with Blonde Intelligence. I am your host, Ms. Roni, and I always seek to give you exquisite cranial repertoire. Dreaming of homeownership while pursuing your creative career? This eye-opening conversation with real estate agent Katina Harper demolishes the myth that artists and independent professionals can't qualify for mortgages."I am passionate about African Americans achieving the American dream through home ownership," shares Harper, who specializes in helping first-time homebuyers navigate the process. She explains how artists with inconsistent income can document their earnings through royalty payments, digital publishing, and other revenue streams to satisfy lender requirements. "Money is money. They don't care what you do, as long as it's stable and it's documented."Harper tackles the fear many feel about entering today's housing market, highlighting why ownership beats renting in the long run: "If you're renting a home or apartment, it's appreciating in value as well, but you're not going to see that increase." She reveals several programs offering $10,000-$20,000 for down payment assistance, shares strategies for buyers with student loan debt, and explains how buying multi-family properties can create immediate income streams when you live in one unit and rent the others.The conversation explores innovative approaches to building wealth through real estate, including investment opportunities in developing areas, utilizing properties for Airbnb income, and acquiring commercial spaces. For artists specifically, property ownership provides stability during income fluctuations and creates pathways to generational wealth that extend beyond your creative career.Ready to transform your financial future? Pull your credit report, connect with a knowledgeable lender, and remember Harper's advice: "The way to look at it is either I'm going to do it now or I'm going to do it later, but I am going to do it." Your journey to homeownership starts with education – join Harper's upcoming event for heroes in the community or reach out for a one-on-one consultation at katinasalesrealestate@gmail.com.Support the show

Welcome to this week's Indie Artist Music Hustle with Blonde Intelligence. I am your host Ms. Roni, and I always seek to give you exquisite cranial repertoire. Have you ever wondered what really drives celebrity feuds in the music industry? The recent clash between Nicki Minaj and SZA offers a fascinating case study of how seemingly minor comments can trigger major conflicts when underlying tensions exist.This episode peels back the layers of the headline-making Twitter tirade, examining not just what happened, but why it happened. Drawing on insights about Sagittarius personality traits, I explore how Nicki's emotional reactions likely stem from feelings of rejection and disrespect after reportedly having a feature request ignored by SZA's team. The subsequent collaboration between SZA and artists Nicki has conflicts with added fuel to an already smoldering situation.Beyond the immediate drama, we tackle the important question of accountability in the music industry. When artists with massive platforms engage in body-shaming, insults, and degrading comments toward colleagues, where are the repercussions? As the music world watches what some are calling "the fall of Cash Money" with both Nicki and Drake facing parallel controversies, it's worth considering how the industry enables and sometimes rewards toxic behavior rather than professional communication. Even stars in their 30s and 40s can revert to high-school level insults when they feel slighted – but should they be given a pass simply because of their status?Whether you're fascinated by celebrity culture, interested in how astrology influences behavior (Mercury retrograde, anyone?), or concerned about the broader implications for industry standards, this deep dive offers fresh perspectives on a controversy that reveals much more than meets the eye.

Welcome to this week's Indie Artist Music Hustle with Blonde Intelligence. I am your host Ms. Roni and I always seek to give you exquisite cranial repertoire. The dark underbelly of online commentary takes center stage as we examine the vicious attacks against content creator Tisa Tales. What begins as criticism of her P. Diddy coverage reveals something far more troubling - male commentators using intimidation tactics fueled by jealousy rather than legitimate grievances. When we discover one attacker's history of violence against women while on probation, the pattern becomes clear: this represents a broader societal issue of men who feel entitled to control and demean women.Moving beyond the digital realm, we confront the shocking McDonald's stabbing case that's divided social media. While many have experienced difficult managers, the normalization of violence as a response to workplace conflict represents a dangerous trend. Drawing from my own food service background, I share more appropriate ways to handle workplace tension without resorting to harmful actions. The revelation that the perpetrator had previously stabbed another manager at Taco Bell exposes this as a pattern of behavior rather than an isolated incident.The conversation shifts to the music world where Drake's crew recently disrespected T-Pain, questioning if DJs even knew the pioneering artist. This dismissive attitude toward someone who revolutionized a sound in American music culture feels especially inappropriate coming from a Canadian artist. T-Pain's contributions to music deserve recognition, not ridicule. Perhaps it's time for Drake to consider his audience and legacy more carefully, as his continued production of music targeting younger demographics raises questions about artistic maturity and respect for those who paved the way.Have thoughts on these topics?

Welcome to this week's Indie Artist Music Hustle with Blonde Intelligence. I am your host, Ms. Roni and I always seek to give you exquisite cranial repertoire. Have you ever noticed how quickly we rush to criticize those who find success? The strange phenomenon of creator-on-creator criticism has become increasingly prevalent in online spaces, and this week we're unpacking exactly what's behind it.The spotlight falls on Tisa Tells, a content creator whose meteoric rise has culminated in mainstream media recognition during the Sean Diddy Combs trial coverage. What makes her story fascinating isn't just the success, but the backlash it's generated from fellow creators. While audiences clearly connect with her authentic storytelling style, relatable personality, and engaging delivery, some YouTube personalities have devoted entire segments to criticizing her – claiming audiences are "tired" of her content despite evidence to the contrary.This pattern reveals something profound about creative communities online. The competitive YouTube landscape breeds both inspiration and insecurity, pushing some creators toward innovation while others resort to criticism as a content strategy. As we explore in this episode, true success isn't measured by platform metrics alone but through genuine audience connection. When creators focus on tearing others down instead of elevating their own work, they're often revealing more about their insecurities than providing valuable commentary.Whether you're a content creator yourself or simply interested in the psychology behind online communities, this exploration of success, jealousy, and authenticity offers valuable perspective on navigating creative spaces. Remember – as we conclude – if someone is shining in their creative endeavors, the healthiest response is to let them shine and perhaps use that light to illuminate your own path forward rather than attempting to dim theirs.Support the show

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Roni Robbins, author of the book Hands of Gold. Hands of Gold capitalizes on Roni Robbins' nearly four decades as a published writer: a staff reporter for daily and weekly newspapers; a freelancer for national, regional, and digital publications. She is currently a freelance reporter for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and Medscape/WebMD, where she was previously an editor after serving as associate editor of the Atlanta Jewish Times.   Hands of Gold won, among others, the 2023 International Book Awards for multicultural fiction and the 2023 Global Book Awards gold medal for biographical-survival. In addition to the fiction awards, Robbins won three Simon Rockower Awards for Jewish journalism, including an investigative piece about Jewish seniors who feel “Out of Touch” in nursing homes. Hands of Gold begins and ends in a nursing home.   Selected as a touring author with the prestigious Jewish Book Council, Robbins appeared in one of the nation's largest Jewish book festivals. Hands of Gold consistently ranks high on Amazon's bestseller lists for biographical literary fiction and Holocaust biographies.   In my book review, I stated Hands of Gold is an amazing Jewish historical fiction. According to Roni, the story is loosely based on her Hungarian grandfather, but rather than write a family memoir, she chose to write a historical fiction about Sam Fox.   We meet Sam, first at his dying wife's side, and then travel back to see him as a young boy in Hungary at the turn of the 20th century. Sam's life is never easy. From Jewish hardships in the old country, to fleeing from Hungarian conscription, to stealing into first Canada, and then the US, to illness and poverty, Sam figures out how to find joy in a life that continuously throws him lemons.   And now, after 65 years of marriage, his dying wife, Hannah, tasks him with telling their children their parents' real history - with all the secrets - even secrets they have kept from one another.   This story is a wonderful family saga, filled with Jewish history and culture, determination, and religion. I found the details fascinating and often wondered which parts were true family history and which were merely the figment of Roni's imagination. I loved the book and believe you will, too!   Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1   Join the Novels N Latte Book Club community to discuss this and other books with like-minded readers: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3576519880426290   You can follow Author Roni Robbins Website: https://www.ronirobbins.com/ FB: @roni.k.robbins X: @ronirobbins LinkedIn: @ronirobbins IG: @roni.robbins TikTok: @handsofgoldnovel   Purchase Hands of Gold on Amazon: Paperback: https://amzn.to/436tjq9 Ebook: https://amzn.to/4j0y3Uo   Teri M Brown, Author and Podcast Host: https://www.terimbrown.com FB: @TeriMBrownAuthor IG: @terimbrown_author X: @terimbrown1   Want to be a guest on Online for Authors?

"The music that comes through me is God-breathed," she explains, describing how years of trying to conform to industry expectations gave way to divine inspiration once she embraced her authentic calling. The seven-track album, which serves as a soundtrack to her book "Nobody's Daughter," offers listeners an intimate glimpse into her transformation through struggles with rejection and belonging.Throughout our conversation, Michelle shares profound wisdom about creative integrity, explaining her willingness to walk away from studio sessions when recordings don't match her vision. "Though I paid for studio time and I put money into making the song, if it ain't right I ain't putting it out," she insists. Her approach to social media emphasizes genuine connection over promotion, creating space for followers to understand the experiences behind her music. Perhaps most inspiring is Michelle's perspective on uniqueness: "Can't nobody beat you being you... They can try to emulate your style, but they'll never be you."

Welcome to this week's Indie Artist Music Hustle with Blonde Intelligence. I am your host, Ms. Roni, and I always seek to give you exquisite cranial repertoire. Ever wondered what happens when musical passion meets life's unexpected turns? Lindsey Ferguson's story captivates as she reveals the winding path that led to her debut album "Being a Girl" on this episode of Indie Artist Music Hustle.Lindsey takes us from her early songwriting days at age 11 through her music business education at NYU, where she gained crucial knowledge about distribution, royalties, and promotion strategies that many independent artists miss. She offers a fascinating comparison between the New York and Los Angeles music scenes—noting that while both cities overflow with talent, LA's physical spaciousness creates more opportunity for meaningful artistic connections and collaborations.The heart of our conversation unveils the deeply personal journey behind "Being a Girl." Lindsay's album chronicles her evolution from struggling with dating in New York City to completing her master's degree during pandemic isolation (celebrating her virtual graduation alone in her childhood bedroom) to falling in love with a producer who taught her production skills over Zoom. That creative partnership blossomed into both romance and artistic collaboration when she moved to Los Angeles, forming "Ned and Wendy the Band" with her now-fiancé.We dive into the tension many artists feel between creative authenticity and marketing demands. Lindsey candidly admits that social media pressures initially deterred her from fully committing to music, though she's now reluctantly embraced platforms like TikTok while maintaining her artistic integrity. Her approach balances building a genuine online presence while acknowledging the practical necessities of music promotion.Listen to "Being a Girl" on all streaming platforms and follow Lindsey's musical journey on Instagram @lindseybinsey95 or YouTube at Lindsey Ferguson Music.

I have been writing The Money Reckoning blog, untangling money at work, following a groundbreaking team change how they pay themselves.I didn't expect that I'd be tested.I was recently asked to “value my time.” I've been questioning transactional vs gift nonviolent approaches.Before, I would have responded with a rate.Now, here's a chance to actually try something different. But what, and how?So I turned to a mentor, Roni Wiener, a brilliant nonviolent facilitator, who is walking the talk – moving from highly-paid consulting to offering their work as a gift – and sustaining much of their life through gifts.I was fascinated – how would that even work?So I asked Roni for a call, and we recorded our conversation. Follow The Money Reckoning blog series.Watch the video interview with Roni here.THE IMPACT. Roni Wiener teaches groups to make decisions that care for everyone, on transforming collaboration and in partnership with nonviolence organizations like NGL. THE JOURNEY. Roni has moved from highly-paid consulting in the traditional capitalist model to offering their work as a gift – and sustaining their life with gifts.  Here are the lessons I learned from Roni about the critical steps toward working in a gift economy:We're not in a gift economy – but we might be preparing“We cannot actually operate in a gift economy, it is not possible for us to have enough access to gifts to meet needs.”In an exchange culture, money is needed, but money is not a need“Technically, money is not a need. What I really need is food and housing. You could gift me food to care for me. Sadly, our culture is not set up that way.”Knowing my audience: where and who matters“Sometimes it just doesn't make sense. At the local grocery store, I'm not going to start a conversation with them about: are you willing to gift me the groceries?”Before talking to a client, I need to talk to myself “It really helps to have that clarity, because the conversation might already be uncomfortable because we're talking about money, or because we're talking about quite a change from the mainstream.”Getting to numbers – knowing my limits“Am I willing to receive zero? Is that an option? Hold clear limits. Otherwise, you may appear open to receiving nothing – that leads to friction and conflict.”Getting to numbers – not my value, but my needs“I'm not interested in ‘how much is my time worth'? I'm interested in ‘what would be sustainable for me to be able to offer this time as a gift to you?'”Getting to numbers – not yes or no, but getting creative“With one organization, their financial situation fluctuates. This didn't come from me, they proposed it: what if we just look at the end of every month, and we just send you what we have left? Let's try it and see. I don't even know how much money that's gonna be. It was a complete mystery.”Getting to numbers – my tolerance for risk“ These are real consequences if we are not able to pay for things we have committed to paying, like housing. Really think through and not overstretch.” Find the right amount of stretch“If you try to do too much too fast, and you end up not receiving enough money, you may get discouraged with the whole thing. And then you just stop trying.”De-linking giving and receiving“In a true gift economy, there is no link between gifting and receiving. I would gift you something, and receive from somewhere, not from you. That's not possible yet. I'm working to make that link less strong.”Connecting to my privilege and class status“Privilege in some ways makes it easier to have these experiments, because you have financial resources to lean on. And in some ways it's harder, because you're so used to leaning on money as a solution to all problems.”This shift is a lifelong project“ It's a big transition. This touches so many things: scarcity thinking; getting reconnected with generosity, with trust in life; increasing our risk tolerance; engaging with our addiction to comfort.”

Do you pay attention to information printed on food labels? From eye-catching designs companies use to entice you to buy a product to nutrition facts panels to the tiny dates printed on packages. There's a lot going on to be sure. For policymakers, they hope that refining date labels on food packaging will help reduce the amount of uneaten food ending up in landfills. Food Waste is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. The Food and Drug Administration and the Food Safety and Inspection Service recently asked for public input on food date labels. So, we decided to gather some experts together to talk about this important policy tool. Roni Neff is a professor in the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and Senior Advisor at the School's Center for a Livable Future. Her research looks at the intersection of food waste policy, climate change, and food system resilience. Brian Roe is a professor at the Ohio State University Department of Agricultural, Environmental and Developmental Economics. His work focuses on issues including agricultural marketing, information policy, behavioral economics, and product quality. Ruiqing Miao is an associate professor of agricultural economics and rural sociology at Auburn University's College of Agriculture. His research emphasizes sustainability, innovation, and decision making. Interview Summary Brian, let's begin with you and let's make sure everyone's on the same page. Can you talk to us a little bit about what date labels are and where they are on packaging. And what is industry required to include in terms of these date labels? Yes, so date labels, we see them anytime we pick up a food package. Most packages are going to have some type of date label on them. Oddly, federal law doesn't regulate these or really require these other than the exception of infant formula, which is the only federal requirement domain out there. But in the absence of federal regulation, states have kind of done their own thing. About 40 different states require date labels on at least some food products. And about 20 states prohibit or restrict the sale or donation of food past the label date. And even though states that require date labels, manufacturers can still choose the dates. There are no real regulations on them. So, recognizing that confusion over date labels can lead to unnecessary food waste, Government and industry actors have made, you know, some efforts to try to standardize date labeling language. But nothing terribly authoritative. Now, some states have introduced bills that seek to standardize date labels, with the motivation to try to get rid of and reduce food waste. California being perhaps the most recent of these. In 2024, they passed a bill that prohibits the use of any date label other than 'Best if Used By,' the phrase that goes along with foods where the date represents kind of a quality indicator. And then the phrase 'Use By,", if that date has some implications for product safety. The bill doesn't go into effect until July of '26, so we're going to see if this is going to create a domino effect across other states, across the food manufacturing center or even bubble up and be dealt with at the federal legislation level. Now, industries tried to do things before. Back in 2017, the Food Marketing Institute and the Grocers Manufacturers Association had a standardized date labeling suggestion that some firms bought into. FDA has given out some guidance about preferring 'Best if Used By' on certain food products to indicate quality. But again, we're all kind of waiting to see if there might be a federal legislation that kind of brings these state labels into check. Thanks, Brian. And it's really important to know about the policy landscape and the fact that there hasn't been a federal policy across all foods. And it's interesting to see the efforts of, say, in California. I think this begs the question; how do consumers actually process the information of date labels? This fascinated us too. A very clever person at Ohio State that I work with, Dr. Aishwarya Badiger, led a study I was part of. We enlisted consumers to come into the Consumer Evaluation Lab that we have here on campus and evaluate samples of milk. They were presented with the label of each milk. We gave them a little glass with a nose full of the milk that they could sniff. So, they're looking at the date label, they're given the sample they could smell, and then we kind of asked them, Hey, if this were in your fridge, would you keep it or toss it? But the entire time we actually had them fitted with special glasses that precisely track their eye movements so we could understand kind of which information they were looking at while they went through the whole process of evaluating and then making their decision. Consumers overwhelmingly looked at the date itself on the package and largely ignored the phrase or the words that go along with the date. In fact, for more than half of the evaluations, the consumer's eyes never went anywhere near the phrase. This is important. And actually, we'll talk about that a little bit more with some of our other guests. So, what are the implications of date label policies? So the eye tracking research really drove home to me that dates are much more salient than phrases. Although all the policies largely deal with the phrases. Dates give you actionable information. People can look at the date on the label, look at the calendar, and man, that's something they can do something about. They can act based upon that. The phrases are a little bit more ambiguous as Roni will talk about later. I think that people have a hard time interpreting what those phrases really mean. That doesn't mean we should not try to unify those phrases, but rather this is going to be a longer-term investment in educational infrastructure that until those phrases really become salient and actionable to consumers. And then become more of a critical component of the policies. But right now, policies are generally silent on dates. And dates seem to be the real action mover. Yeah. So why don't we just get rid of all of this? What would be the implications? Yes. We did this experiment too. Same kind of setup. Had people come in, they had the jug of the milk in front of them. They had a glass of milk that they could sniff. Same thing. And we had a bunch of different milks. We had some that were only like 15 days post pasteurization. Some that went out to like 40 days past pasteurization. So, the youngest or the freshest had about three days, quote unquote, left on its date label. The 40-day old milk was like two or three weeks past the date. And we did two things. We had them evaluate the milk with the dates on the jugs, and then we had ones where we took the dates and the labels off the milk. Not surprisingly, when they did not have the dates on the milk, they were much more likely to say that they would keep the milk. Even that 40-day old milk, about half of them said, yeah, I'd drink this. I'd keep this if it were in my fridge. But it wasn't a slam dunk. So, our youngest and freshest milk had an odd flavor note. You know, sometimes as the seasons change, feed sources change for cattle, you get an odd flavor note. It's not spoilage, it's just a slightly different note. And when people have the date label, they were much more willing to give that milk a second chance and say that they would keep it. But if the date label wasn't on there, they took that odd flavor note and said, I'm going to toss this milk. So, it's really kind of a nuanced thing. And if you would take those off, I think you're going to get some consumers who are going to kind of freak out without any guidance. And they might have kind of an itchy trigger finger when it comes to throwing away that milk or other products. So, it's compelling. We've seen England, the UK, do this; take dates off of certain products. But I would probably want to see a little more example of how consumers are responding to that before I fully endorse that as kind of a policy movement forward. Brian, thank you for that. And I have got to say, I was not expecting to have a conversation about the bouquet of a glass of milk. But this is really an interesting finding, and it does help us understand some other things that we're going to talk about. Roni, I want to turn our attention to you. And I know you are someone who's been involved in understanding date labels for a while. And I really appreciate it and I've said it before, but you're the reason I got into this work. I want to understand a little bit more about what are important things to understand about the misconceptions that consumers may have about food date labels? And why does it matter for policymakers? Well, I'll start with just saying that conceptions are what we know rationally. And it's not the whole picture because as Brian was alluding to a lot of our decision making is going on in our emotions. And like I can tell my son all day long the fact that that milk is okay, he's going to toss it because he doesn't trust it. There's a lot more going on than conceptions. But I want to talk about two misconceptions. The first one is that despite what Brian just said about the fact that these date labels other than infant formula aren't federally regulated, about two in five people think that they are. We just did a national consumer survey in January 2025, and this is one of the findings. And I did that along with Emily Broad Lieb from the Harvard Food Law and Policy Project and Akif Khan also from there, and then Dana Gunders from ReFED. And in addition to this idea that they're federally regulated, I'll say that these kinds of beliefs were most common among those who were 18 to 34, parents with children under age 18, and black and Hispanic consumers. Our earlier work also found that those who think that food date labels are federally regulated are more likely to discard food based on them. All this speaks to a real challenge. And, you know, it kind of makes sense, like if you see something and you trust it, that it's from the federal government. And of course, we all trust the federal government these days. If you trust it, then you're going to respond to it. So that's an implication for food policy. And then the next thing we did also is that we tested understanding of five different food date label phrases: a date with no text, and then two of those phrases accompanied by icon images. And since none of these actually have a federally recognized meaning the correct answer for all of them in terms of the meaning is like other. But we also accepted answers that were aligned with that voluntary industry standard, just to kind of see how people were perceiving it. And, across all of these labels, only an average of 53% of people answered correctly about what these labels meant. Now, consumers were pretty good at identifying 'Best if Used By' as a quality label. But the real challenge comes in with 'Use By' which under the voluntary industry standards should be a safety label. And more people thought it was a quality label than thought it was a safety label; 44% versus 49%. And so, we need to clear up these misconceptions in support of food safety, in support of food waste prevention. But in order to do that, we need to be able to tell people clearly what the labels mean. And we can't really do that if there's no standardized meaning of what they mean. So, we really need a national standard, and that is the policy implication. Thank you for that. And I know Ruiqing and I have done some work in this space and in part learning from what you all have done. I'm interested because you mentioned the 2025 survey, but of course you also mentioned the 2016 survey. Are there any big shifts or anything that you want to tell us about changes that you see from those two different surveys? We asked a number of the same or almost identical questions in those two surveys. And since that time, we've adopted a voluntary industry standard and there's been a lot of education and communication about wasted food. And yet in our survey we actually found that things were going in the wrong direction. Consumer misunderstandings of date labels increased. Those who quote always or usually discard food based on the label: in 2016, that was 37%, and this year it was 43%. And then in terms of belief that these are federally regulated: in 2016 it was 36% and now it's 44%. We're going in the wrong direction despite all these activities, and I don't know why. I think for those who are looking for future research questions, this would be a really interesting one. This is really disturbing because all of the information that's come out about date labels. I thought people would understand this. And that this is where we would be in a different place. So, this work is really important. So, how did people's response to date labels vary by food item? Did you see any differences? Because this is something that comes up often that people may be more responsive to some food products versus others? Yeah, indeed. We asked about five different foods, and we showed a bunch of different labels for each food. And the responses did vary both based on the item and based on what label was on it. And I'll start with where caution is needed. Deli meats are one example of where we really want people to pay attention to that label. And while there's no federal standard that label's the best piece of information people has, so they should use it. And we found that only 65% would throw out the deli meat before, on, or just after the 'Use By' label. And the number of people that would respond to it reduced with other labels that were used, and older adults were most likely to disregard those labels. And they may be particularly vulnerable in terms of foodborne illness. So that's when lack of caution leads to risk. On the other hand, when caution leads to waste, we looked at raw chicken, pasteurized milk, lettuce, and breakfast cereal. And for all of those there, like the label is really only telling you about quality, and consumers should use their senses to decide, and knowledge of how that was, stored to decide whether to eat it. And so, the most common out of all five foods, including the deli, the one that they responded the strongest to was raw chicken. And that chicken can be contaminated as we know, but if you cook it, you're killing those bacteria, so it's okay. And averaging across all those different date labels, we found 54% would discard these four foods based on the date. And the piece that was most striking to me was that for breakfast cereal, 43% said they were discarded based on the date. So, we've got some education to do. Yeah. In the earlier paper I did with colleagues at Cornell, we used breakfast cereal and we were surprised to see how much people willing to throw away breakfast cereal if it were passed to date. There is confirmation and we see this happen in many other products. And we'll definitely talk about some of those product differences with Ruiqing. The last question I'd like to ask you is you found that many consumers thought they knew the meanings of the various food date labels, but they were incorrect. And in some of the work that you've done in the past, you found that many people answered incorrectly even after viewing information about the labels. So even when you educated folks or gave people information, they still made incorrect choices. Why do you think this is, and what should we do about it? And some people's responses do improve when you show them the information, but it was striking in that study that seconds after having read the definition, according to the voluntary industry standard, people were giving the wrong answer. Even though they had previously said that they thought they understood it. So, to me, this suggests that they already think they know the answer and so they're not tuning in. And this speaks to a real challenge that we're going to have when we do standardize these date labels. How are we going to reach people and capture their attention. Like, if we just change the policy, that does nothing. We've got to reach people and we've got to do it in a sophisticated and well-planned way. And I think the education should also emphasize that misunderstandings are common because that might be something that would help wake people up. But beyond that, we've got to capture their attention. So, you know, dancing clowns, whatever it is that wakes people up. I have a fear of clowns, so I'm not sure if I want that as a policy recommendation. However... For the deli meats we want you to be afraid, so it's okay. Yes, I agree. I agree. One of the things that this conversation has helped us see is that there's some real concerns around whether or not people are paying attention to the label. Or there may be paying more attention to the dates. And even when people are taught or encouraged to think about the dates, there seems to be a mismatch. And Ruiqing, I want to now turn to you because one of the things in the study that we were a part of, there's some questions about differences among people. So, in the paper that we recently published on the relationship between date labels and anticipated food waste, and people's individual orientation to risk and loss, can you tell us a little bit about what some of the key findings of that paper are? Right. So, the paper is published recently in Applied Economics Perspective Policy. It's one of the official journals of Agricultural and Applied Economics Association (AAEA). Norbert is the leading author. So, this paper built on the framework of prospect theory and is based on the data from a series of experiments we conducted in Alabama and also the state of New York. We find that consumers do adjust their anticipated food waste by date labels and by how much they tolerate risk and losses. In the experiment, we particularly measured their tolerance to risk and losses. We found that the 'Use By' date labels tend to lead to more anticipated food waste than 'Best Buy'. Maybe this echo what Roni has said. So, people may tend to link 'Use By' with quality and food safety. We also found that the consumers with low tolerance to losses and are associated with higher anticipated foot waste regardless of date labels and the products. So, we can see a heterogeneity of the responses of different consumers to date labels and food items based on their tolerance to losses and risks. Thank you for that. And I think this is a really important aspect of looking at this set of studies because we see that people are different. They respond differently. And they have different ideas about how they handle losses. This idea that it can be worse to lose a hundred dollars versus to gain a hundred dollars. Or the way we understand how we'll negatively respond versus how positively we respond. Using this economic framework of prospect theory, something that is drawn from actually the psychology literature to better understand how people react to food labels while shopping. What are some key features of this approach to explaining people's behaviors and why do you think it's a good choice? Why do you think it's important to do this? One of the key features of prospect theory is it divides the possible outcomes of a risky event into two domains. One is a gain domain and one is a loss domain. So, in terms of the food consumption, probably the most likely status quo is do not eat the food items. So, the gain domain might be gaining nutrition from the food item. The loss domain might be the loss of health if the food item is bad. So, I think this framework fits particularly well to describe the consumer's trade off in their mind when they face a food item with a date label that is maybe one day or two days past the expiration date. So, one possibility is you consume this food. If it is good, you get nutrition and if it is bad, you potentially get lost health or lose one day of work or so on. So, I think this model can capture the trade off or the decision-making procedure in a consumer's mind pretty well. And experiments data support the theoretical prediction that loss aversion may affect people's food waste decisions. Thank you for that. And I think what's one of the sort of take home messages that I've learned out of this process is this heterogeneity, the fact that people are different and may respond differently to these date labels, really does put the onus upon policymakers to think critically what date labels, if we were to use them, or if we think they have an effect, which are the right ones. And so I actually want to open up the question to all of you. In your view, what next steps make sense for date labels to help address the food waste challenges that we see in this country? Let's start with you, Brian. Ooh, yeah. So, to me a compelling issue that needs to be addressed is how do we get 'Use By' to really translate to be people to be about safety? Is it a different color? I know we don't want to mess with the phrases, but do we just call this safety date and put it in red or put a clown by it if that scares you. Something along those lines to make that stand out. And then on the relevance side, I think it might be out of policy, but perhaps, industry collaboration to really push printed dates to the end of that quality horizon. So that everybody has confidence that they're not going to get undercut by somebody else having an earlier date printed for cereals or for canned goods or something like that. To have a kind of a truce among commercial interests to say, okay, typically canned beans, has this type of 180 days or 360 days. Let's push it to the end of that acceptable horizon so that we don't have unwarranted waste happening as often. Those are two ideas that I've kind of chewed on a lot and think could be positive steps forward. But I'm fascinated to hear what others think. Thank you, Brian and I really don't like the idea of putting clowns anywhere near this. I want to go to you, Roni. All right, well first, I'll a thousand percent echo everything that Brian just said. And I'll note also in terms of the 'Use By' date, the label that was most commonly associated with food safety was 'Expires On' by consumers. But that isn't part of what has been under [policy] discussion. But anyway, in addition to echoing that, I'll just say we do need a standardized policy and it has to be accompanied by a well-designed education campaign. And this policy change, it's just a no-brainer. It's not controversial. It's fairly minimal cost. And given the high food prices and the struggles that consumers are having right now, they need every tool that they can to save money and food, and this is one of them. Great. Thank you, Roni. I'll give the last word to you, Ruiqing. Yeah. I will echo what Brian and Roni said. So, a well-designed policy and public education campaign. Particularly for the education campaign. I think regardless of if there is a policy change or not, I think it is time to do a public education campaign. Norbert, we have done the research on food waste for almost nine years, right? So, I learned a little bit about the date label's meaning. But still, I cannot change my wife's opinion. When she sees sell by yesterday for the milk, she would suggest we throw it away. But I said this is not for us, this is for sellers. But she wouldn't believe so because I cannot persuade her. But maybe an education campaign from more authoritative institutional federal government can change people's mind as a researcher or like even husband cannot change. Roni - And can I just add to that, just please. I think that the economics and psychology expertise that all of you have can really contribute to that. Because I think that's a really important point that you're making. And it's not just factual, it's emotional too. And so how do we, you know, get in there and change what people do beyond their knowledge? Bios Roni Neff is a Professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health's Department of Environmental Health & Engineering and the Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future, an academic center focused on food systems and public health.

He was recently named as a fellow of the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association and has previously served as an editor for the Association's flagship journal, the American Journal of Agricultural Economics. He currently leads the Ohio State Food Waste Collaborative, a collection of researchers, practitioners, and students working together to promote the reduction and redirection of food waste as an integral part of a healthy and sustainable food system, and co-leads the RECIPES Network, a National Science Foundation Sustainable Regional System's Research Network focused on increasing food system sustainability, resilience and equity by addressing the issue of food waste.  In addition to research on food waste, his other recent research includes a USDA funded project focused on local foods and school lunch programs and participation in an NSF-funded multidisciplinary team seeking to understand human-ecosystem feedbacks in the Western Lake Erie basin, including understanding how farms and agribusinesses respond to voluntary environmental programs and how Ohio residents respond to different options to manage Lake Erie water quality. Ruiqing Miao is an agricultural economist at Auburn University. Miao is interested in sustainability, innovation, and decision-making. His research focuses on the interaction between agricultural production and its environment, aiming to understand and quantify 1) agriculture's impact on land use, water use, water quality, and biodiversity, and 2) how agricultural production is affected by farmers' behaviors, public policies, agricultural innovation, technology adoption, and climate change.

Sometimes the thing we long for most is the very thing we fear. Love. Freedom. Joy. These are powerful forces that ask us to stay open, even after we've been hurt. And yet, when we've experienced loss, especially deep soul loss, it can feel impossible to let the light in again. But healing begins when we choose to open, even just a little. Roni is here with us today. She's grieving the loss of her beloved horse, Yo-Yo, and questioning whether she can ever open her heart again to another. What surfaces in this conversation touches on vulnerability, self-trust, and her incredible connection to animals, especially horses. We explore how her past relationships, early wounds, and moments of rejection have shaped her sense of worthiness, and how fear has been quietly riding in the front seat of her life, steering her away from joy. In this episode, we offer Roni a gentle yet powerful invitation: to renegotiate her relationship with fear, to begin practicing animal communication, and to let her heart call in what it truly desires. If you've ever found yourself stuck between grief and longing, or wondered whether it's safe to open your heart again, I hope this reading reminds you that courage doesn't mean the fear disappears; it means you choose to keep going anyway.

Sunsetting features is rarely a celebrated milestone in product, but it's often one of the most critical. In this episode, Ronie Ben Aharon CPO and CTO of Craft.io, joins Lily and Randy to share how his team made the tough call to retire a key feature—and what they learned in the process.Ronie walks us through a real-world example of removing Craft.io's visual spec tool, why trying to compete with established platforms like Figma didn't make sense, and how they approached the transition with both technical rigour and user empathy. He also explains what happens when a sunset strategy goes wrong, and the lingering costs of keeping legacy features alive.Key takeaways- Sunsetting is about creating space for more impactful product work.- Features that seem harmless because they're underused often introduce hidden costs, especially when they complicate onboarding, UX, and development cycles.- Data-related features are the hardest to retire. Plan for thoughtful migration and clear communication with users.- Soft approaches, like “feature starvation,” can backfire and prolong technical debt.- Strong collaboration between product, customer success, and engineering is key to pulling off a successful sunset.Chapters0:00 – Why announcing a feature sunset is rarely met with applause1:58 – What makes sunsetting necessary, and why underused features are a risk5:01 – How to recognise when it's time to kill a feature6:10 – The story behind Craft.io's visual spec feature and why they let it go9:01 – Navigating the difficult conversations with users who still rely on a dying feature12:27 – Handling data migration without compromising user trust14:04 – A sunset that didn't go as planned: learning from the feedback portal misstep22:44 – Managing engineering expectations and avoiding unnecessary rebuilds24:38 – How sunsetting shapes the way new features are designed26:11 – Final reflections on doing it right—and why it's worth itFeatured Link: Follow Roni on LinkedIn | Craft.io | Figma | 'Sunsetting success: How to strategically phase out products in the digital age' feature by Balaji Ananthanpilla and Sabah Qazi at Mind The ProductOur HostsLily Smith enjoys working as a consultant product manager with early-stage and growing startups and as a mentor to other product managers.
