There is a big black heart in Barcelona that it is still beating. Three weeks later, we're still digesting the magic that was the fourth edition of Mostra festival. From the most intimate listening moments to collective catharsis on the dancefloor, this year was something else. Starting from the end this year, we're proud to present the recorded closing set from Mostra's resident ABSIS, who delivered a deeply emotional finale that distilled everything Mostra stands for: a blend of force, finesse, energy and passion — all woven into one. Across four editions, countless moments, different days and stages, ABSIS has always been there: reading the different dance floors, adapting, connecting the dots between sound and feelings. Being a resident is more than just playing; it's embodying the festival's pulse, giving it identity and continuity, and raising the collective experience to another level. If you've journeyed with Mostra through the years, you know how central ABSIS (alongside Timnah and Patrick Russell) has been to shaping that Mostra spirit. If you haven't yet, you may find the chance next year. And now, for the first time: ABSIS closing the festival. A powerful tribute to what it means to support the local scene, not just by listing names from the city, but by creating moments like this one that matters.

In this episode of Startup Survival, we talk about what is, of course, one of my personal favorite topics: marketing. I see sales and marketing teams everywhere running massive outreach programs without putting a brand in place that is compelling to your buyers, leading to mixed results at best.  I'm joined by Jason Vana, a brand and content strategist for B2B companies. He's an expert in helping businesses attract their ideal customers so that the prospects are reaching out to sales—not the other way around.  In this episode Jason and I discuss the value of branding, how to convince the C-suite that the brand is valuable and the differences between B2B and B2C strategies. Make sure you tune in for his thoughts on how personal brands fit into the larger B2B content strategy. About Jason VanaJason is a brand and content strategist who has turned unknown B2B companies into world-wide brands. In 2021, he founded SHFT, a brand positioning agency focused on developing brand strategies, brand design, and content strategies that positions businesses as the only choice for their ideal customers. Prior to that, he developed a strategy that took a relatively unknown B2B manufacturing company and turned it into the preferred vendor for the world's largest food processing companies and drove them to $40M+ in ARR. In his spare time, he's hiking, biking, traveling, or ripping on bad brand and marketing tactics online as #sassyjason. https://shft.marketing/ (Website) https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonvana/ (LinkedIn) https://twitter.com/jasonvana (Twitter) If you like this episode, check out these resources.Podcast: https://www.jackiehermes.com/podcast/can-marketing-replace-sales (Can marketing replace sales?)
