Lured Up Podcast 380: Daily Routine Live Streamed on - 1/28/26 Publish Date - 1/30/26 This week was packed with gameplay as we saw Precious Pals get Taken Over, Shadow Raikou Raid Day and Into The Depths! These events delivered a diverse menu of gameplay styles, with Raiding, Shiny Hunting, Routes and more. This weekend brings us Dynamax Ho-Oh, which may be hit or miss with Communities and might require more coordination than usual to get Trainers together. You will however, have a relaxed pace with many hours of the day available to track down Ho-Oh. Next week looks even stronger with Carnival of Flamigo kicking off on Tuesday and stretching out over Oricorio Catch Mastery Day. This will make grinding next Saturday a fantastic time to play so block out your time now! The Road to Kalos event is just ludicrous with how much it has going on. Plenty of costumes and backgrounds will make this either a collector's dream or worst nightmare.  Wayfarer had some big updates this week with the release of their official map! Wayfinders will no longer have to use third party tools or work with outdated maps. With the forums blowing up over it, I think Wayfarer may have a winner on their hands with the Community. We also saw the expansion of Niantic's Street Corner experiment to all 50 US states and the forums are melting down about it. We hope this will make underdeveloped/populated gameboards receive some POI that don't have to follow criteria that would normally make them ineligible. Finally, we wrap up with a conversation about daily gameplay routines, and how they can bring some consistency and efficiency to your play. We discuss our morning, afternoon, and evening routines and how it impacts what we do. From inventory maintenance to gifting strategies, developing loops for your tasks can help you stay focused and on task. That is until you accidentally forget to do it, making the entire day's progress a bust. Let us know what you do in this game, day in - day out!

Leah Georgantas took over a struggling multi-brand fashion boutique with no business experience, lost most of her suppliers overnight, then rebuilt it into one of Australia's most recognisable fashion brands by posting relentlessly on social media. In this interview, the founder of Girls With Gems breaks down how raw,unfiltered content, six to nine posts per day, and authentic storytelling helped her scale through Covid, build a cult-like community, and launch a private label brand that now drives half the company's revenue. What you'll learn in this interview: • How posting 6–9 times per day built a loyal ecommerce community • Why relatable content outperformed polished fashion campaigns • How Girls With Gems scaled through Covid while others stalled • The exact mindset shift that unlocked sustainable social growth • Why Leah refuses to participate in Black Friday promotions • How Sneaky Link grew into 50% of total revenue • The risks and rewards of launching a private label brand • How to manage burnout while scaling a fast-growing business • Why authenticity compounds faster than performance marketing • How to build brand narratives without oversharing online By the end of this episode, you'll understand how to grow an ecommerce brand through storytelling, community, and relentless execution — without copying competitors or waiting for the perfect strategy.

Valérie Gauthier, professeure à HEC et autrice de la méthode du savoir-relier.Dans cet moment (extrait d'un épisode plus long en lien), nous parlons d'un sujet à la fois intime et collectif : notre manière de nous relier les uns aux autres. J'ai questionné Valérie sur ce que le dialogue exige de nous, pourquoi nous avons tendance à simplifier l'autre au lieu de faire l'effort de relation, et comment le digital reconfigure profondément nos liens.On a parlé de leadership, de chevaux, de toucher, de nos biais relationnels… et surtout de ce qui fait qu'une relation humaine peut devenir un espace de transformation. C'est un moment fort, dense, d'où se dégage une vérité simple : se relier, ça s'apprend.3. Citations marquantes« Le dialogue, c'est un travail. Ce n'est pas facile, ni évident. »« Ce qui est important, ce n'est pas l'individu, c'est la relation. »« Le digital déshumanise, mais il peut aussi recréer du lien s'il est bien géré. »« Chez les chevaux, le leadership se construit sur la compétence et le contexte. »« Les sens, ce ne sont pas des émotions. C'est une autre façon de se connecter à l'autre. »Idées centrales discutéesLe dialogue est un effort (00:20 - 01:04)Comprendre vraiment l'autre demande un travail actif d'écoute et d'interprétation.

Jihomoravský hejtman Jan Grolich oznámil, že bude kandidovat na předsedu KDU-ČSL. Jak by chtěl stranu změnit? Jak si představuje lidovecké opoziční působení? A je správné, že opozice kvůli SMS zprávám ministra zahraničí Petra Macinky vyvolala hlasování o nedůvěře vládě? Tomáš Pancíř se zeptal hejtmana Jihomoravského kraje a kandidáta na předsedu KDU-ČSL Jana Grolicha.

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Are you feeding your data into AI and assuming the insights it gives you are accurate? What if those confident-sounding answers are quietly steering you in the wrong direction? More agency owners are turning to AI to analyze and interpret performance data, and for good reason. Used correctly, it can save massive amounts of time and move teams beyond using AI to crank out blog posts, ads, or emails faster. But when it comes to attribution, performance analysis, and real decision-making, AI has a dangerous flaw: it's often wrong with absolute confidence. Today's featured guest understands where most agencies go wrong with AI-driven data analysis. He'll break down why large language models frequently misinterpret marketing data, how flawed inputs and assumptions lead to misleading insights, and what it actually takes to get reliable answers from AI without burning budget or making bad strategic calls. Scott Desgrosseilliers is the founder and CEO of Wicked Reports, a marketing attribution platform built specifically for e-commerce brands doing between $5M and $50M in annual revenue. Scott has spent years deep in attribution, analytics, and now AI, figuring out how to separate real signal from noise in an ecosystem where every platform claims the win. He'll talk about how most platforms may be misleading you and the framework he uses to bring sanity back to attribution for serious e-commerce brands. In this episode, we'll discuss: Why AI is sounds smart but gets marketing attribution wrong. Injecting intention into AI. The Five Forces framework to improve your AI data.

Why AI Sounds Smart But Gets Marketing Attribution Wrong One of the biggest myths around AI is that it's inherently "smart." Scott shared that it took eight months for Wicked Reports to release their AI analyst, not because the tech wasn't powerful, but because it was too confident while being wrong. AI models are designed to sound affirmative. Ask them a bad question, and they'll still give you a polished answer. If you ask ChatGPT if you should jump off a bridge, it'll say, "Yes, that's a great idea," unless you explicitly train it to be critical. That's a massive problem when you're dealing with revenue attribution and ad spend decisions. Another major issue is that AI lacks native understanding of time, which is foundational to attribution. Clicks, impressions, tags, and conversions happen in sequence over days or weeks. Without heavy rules, coaching, and sanity checks layered in, AI can't naturally interpret cause and effect. Left alone, it simply fills in gaps, and those hallucinations can cost you real money. Why Intention and Metrics Matter More Than the AI Tool The first thing Scott's team had to "inject" into the AI was intention. Not all campaigns exist to do the same job. Prospecting, retargeting, direct response, and existing customer campaigns each have different goals and therefore require different scoreboards. If you don't tell the AI what the intention is for each row of data, it will make assumptions. And those assumptions are usually wrong. The "North Star" metrics and leading indicators change depending on what you're trying to accomplish. A prospecting campaign shouldn't be judged the same way as an abandoned cart flow. The second big issue is AI's obsession with ROAS. ROAS is easy to latch onto because it gets rewarded with "thumbs up" feedback, but it's often misleading. If two-thirds of your reported revenue comes from repeat customers via email or SMS, AI might tell you your ads are crushing it when they're not. Simply separating new customers from repeat customers already puts you ahead of 95% of advertisers. The Five Forces Framework for Making Better Attribution Decisions To solve these problems, Scott introduced his Five Forces Framework, (intention, expectation, action, outcome, and optimization) a methodology most agencies simply aren't using. The first force is Intention, which defines both the scoreboard and the timeframe. New customer acquisition might need a 30–90 day window to show results, while an abandoned cart campaign can be evaluated in seven days. Without this context, teams panic too early and kill campaigns that haven't had time to work. The second force is Expectation, which is all about alignment. Brand owners often look at Shopify, GA4, Meta, Google, Klaviyo, and SMS dashboards—all showing different numbers. Without agreeing on a single version of truth, clients freak out and shut down top-of-funnel campaigns after five days because the data "doesn't look good yet." Setting expectations isn't a one-time conversation; it has to be reinforced constantly. Reducing Drama: Use "Scale, Chill, and Kill" to Guide Ad Spend The third force is Action, which includes launching the campaign but only after defining clear boundaries. Scott recommends setting "Scale, Chill, and Kill" zones before you spend a dollar. For example, if your acceptable new customer acquisition cost is $50–$70, that's your Chill zone. Below $50? Scale it. Above $70? Kill it. These predefined rules remove emotion, reduce second-guessing, and dramatically lower what Scott calls "psychic stress" inside agencies and brands. Once campaigns run, the fourth force—Outcome—is simply measuring performance against those zones. Did it scale, chill, or die? Optimization Is More Than Creative Tweaks Most agencies obsess over creative, constantly swapping headlines, images, and copy. For Scott, optimization should be more structured. At his agency, they use a decision log to rank potential actions by impact, focusing on whether the problem is the offer, the creative, the traffic, or the budget. But Scott added a fourth optimization factor most teams miss: signaling. If you don't send the right signals back to ad platforms, your optimization efforts don't matter. Meta, in particular, is very good at claiming credit for conversions it didn't truly drive and if it sees quick conversions, it will chase more of those, even if they're just repeat customers. Training Ad Platforms to Optimize for What Actually Matters To fix this, Scott recommends creating separate events in Meta's Events Manager for new customer purchases versus repeat purchases. That way, ad sets can optimize specifically for the outcome you want. If you're closing existing customers through email or SMS, you don't want Meta learning from those conversions. But when a new customer buys, Meta gets a clean signal and starts finding more people like them. Scott noted that when creative and offer are solid, sharpening signals alone can dramatically reduce acquisition costs within a month. You can even go deeper by signaling based on SKU types, allowing platforms to optimize toward higher-quality or more strategic purchases—not just any conversion they can grab credit for.

Českou politickou scénou rezonují SMS zprávy ministra zahraničí Petra Macinky (Motoristé), ve kterých podle Hradu vyhrožoval prezidentovi Petru Pavlovi. „Bohužel, celý svět se stal svým způsobem hrubší, tvrdší, někdo říká pragmatičtější, já bych řekl cyničtější. A projevuje se to i v politice a v chování politiků,“ poukazuje v Osobnosti Plus ředitel organizace Člověk v tísni a bývalý studentský vůdce Šimon Pánek.

Most founders won't say this out loud… work-life balance doesn't really exist. At least not in the early years. I didn't want balance — I was obsessed. I worked until 5 a.m., skipped sleep, skipped holidays, ignored my health, and pushed myself until the wheels fell off. And eventually, they did. In this episode, I share the truth about burnout, why obsession can be a superpower until it becomes a liability, and how I rebuilt my life using systems, structure, and intentional habits. This is the real story behind how I learned to operate at a high level without destroying myself. Here's what you'll take away: • Why obsession is normal early on — but unsustainable long term • The signs of burnout I ignored and what finally forced me to change • The rituals that saved me: steps, gym, sauna, therapy, family time, calendared rest • Why rhythm matters more than balance — and how to design one that works • The life audit exercise that revealed what was truly out of alignment If you feel stretched thin, overwhelmed, or like you're running on fumes, this episode will give you the tools and perspective to reset — and build a life that supports the business, not the other way around. This is a brand new solo series I'm testing, and I'd love your feedback. Email me directly at nathan@foundr.com — I read every reply. Hope you enjoy it.

On January 14, the Trump administration announced the start of “phase two” of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. White House Special Envoy Steve Witkoff said the second phase will transition from “ceasefire to demilitarization, technocratic governance, and reconstruction.” On Thursday, President Donald Trump formally launched the Gaza “Board of Peace,” initially presented as a transitional body to oversee Gaza's reconstruction. However, the board's charter has since been expanded to cover a broader mandate for peace globally, raising questions about how it will interact with the United Nations (UN).

On Saturday, U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) shot and killed a 37-year-old man in Minneapolis, Minnesota, following an altercation with federal agents. Earlier this month, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer shot and killed Renee Good, 37, in her vehicle in a Minneapolis neighborhood, setting off large-scale protests. The latest shooting led to renewed calls from state officials for President Donald Trump to pull federal immigration enforcement agents out of the state.

Execution For Your Pest Control Marketing Strategy (Season 5, Episode 3)In this episode, Casey breaks down how to turn your pest control marketing into a real execution plan—without constantly changing direction. We start with the foundation: committing to a growth strategy with clear goals for customers, revenue, and service mix, backed by a real budget you can sustain.Then we tie everything together into two essential pathways:(1) Organic growth and local authority—your website, SEO (traditional + technical), topic clusters, EEAT-driven content, social media for TOMA, reviews, citations, and showing up in today's expanded search landscape that now includes AI Overviews, ChatGPT-style results, and voice search.(2) Paid lead capture—Google Ads, Google LSA, and other profitable ad channels that generate immediate demand while organic compounds long-term.We wrap with the execution systems that protect your investment: a simple sales process that drives a 40–60% conversion rate, and a CRM-powered follow-up culture using SMS and email automations to track, nurture, and convert every lead.If you want a complete marketing strategy that actually gets implemented—and produces measurable growth—this episode is your roadmap.

Thanks to our Partners, NAPA TRACS, Today's Class, KUKUI, and Pit Crew Loyalty Watch Full Video Episode Saim Raza and Tristen Sweeney, co-founders of Shift Automotive, discuss how their AI-powered software is transforming the vehicle service experience. Their platform automates OEM maintenance recommendations and simplifies shop workflows by integrating manufacturer data into professionally formatted, customer-facing reports. This approach not only improves operational efficiency but also helps service advisors build trust with consumers and increase average repair orders. While the technology is advanced, their core mission is deeply human: to improve communication and support shops as drivers keep their vehicles longer. The conversation ultimately underscores a move toward more consultative relationships and elevated customer service in the independent auto repair industry. Key Topics: The “Blood Test” Approach to Maintenance:How using OEM intervals to identify service gaps allows shops to present data-driven recommendations that extend vehicle life—critical as consumers face rising new-car costs.The “Easy Button” Paradox:Why technology only works when behavior changes, and what it really takes to successfully adopt new tools in your shop.Friendly AI & Buying Back Time:How AI can enhance communication, automate routine tasks, and give service advisors more time for meaningful customer interactions.The Consultative Shop Owner:Why the future belongs to shop owners who act as trusted consultants, building long-term relationships through transparency and problem-solving.

Lured Up Podcast 379 - Solo Leveling Live Streamed on - 1/21/2026 Publish Date - 1/23/2026 New week, new show! January is chugging a long after an active week of gameplay. High Zaptitude, Grookey Community Day, and the start of Precious Pals has kept us busy over the last few days. With the Taken Over portion of Precious Pals landing this weekend, we will see a ton of activity in-game as it overlaps with Shadow Raikou Raid Day. This week gave us a little bit of everything, and we are loving it. Into the Depths is coming up with the release of Flimmet, however its Evolution, Glimmora is nowhere to be found. Will we see more Megas from Legaends Z-A being announced? With the announcement of Mega Victreebel and Mega Malimar being added to GO Tour: Kalos, it appears so. Let's hope the Mega meta continues to develop in a positive way, while allowing the game to stretch its legs and release things over time. Our Save the Dates for next season are here, and what we are already seeing is event EVERY Saturday. We speculate on what this sudden structuring of events could mean, and how it blocks gameplay from those that work on Saturdays. With event announcements rolling out leading to and after the Seasonal announcement, we could see the most packed event calendar yet. We dig into the listener mailbag with a voicemail, text and email. From new listeners to great ideas to feel good stories, the mailbag delivered big this week. After the mail, we discuss how different group sizes and gameboard environments have a dramatic impact on gameplay. We touch on Solo grinding, car grinding, and small and large scale Campfire events. There is no wrong way to play this game, and we want to hear from you. Hit us up and let us know your favorite ways to play the game. We also ask, is there any difference from how you WISH you can play the game vs how you ACTUALLY play the game? Let us know!

One billion dollars. That's what today's guest built — after being rejected on Shark Tank, nearly going bankrupt multiple times, and spending millions before making a single sale. In this video, Jamie Siminoff, founder of Ring, breaks down the real story behind building one of the most successful hardware startups of all time and selling it to Amazon for over $1B. What you'll learn in this video: • How to validate and pre-sell a hardware product before manufacturing • The real cost of R&D when building a physical product business • How Shark Tank rejection can accelerate growth, not kill it • Why domain names matter more than founders realise • How Ring survived massive supplier debt and cash pressure • The risks of scaling too fast and hiring ahead of systems • How constraint and pressure forced breakthrough growth • What founders get wrong about raising capital vs bootstrapping By the end of this video, you'll understand what it truly takes to build a billion-dollar hardware or eCommerce company — and how to avoid the mistakes that silently kill most physical product startups. If you're serious about building something real, durable, and valuable, this episode will change how you think about product, money, and scale.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dave Charest. Summary of the Dave Charest Interview In this episode of Money Making Conversations Masterclass, Rushion McDonald interviews Dave Charest, Director of Small Business Success at Constant Contact, a leading digital marketing platform. Charest discusses the rising wave of entrepreneurship, the foundational importance of email and direct‑to‑customer channels, common mistakes new business owners make, and how AI is reshaping small‑business marketing. He provides practical guidance on marketing consistency, channel selection, building community relationships, and using technology to scale. Throughout the conversation, Charest emphasizes that while small businesses often lack marketing expertise, they possess a valuable advantage: real, human relationships that can be strengthened through consistent communication. Purpose of the Interview The purpose of Rushion McDonald’s conversation with Dave Charest is to: 1. Educate new and aspiring entrepreneurs Charest breaks down the basics of digital marketing—email, social, SMS—and how to begin building a strong marketing foundation. 2. Highlight the key trends driving the entrepreneurship boom He explains motivations like work–life balance, independence, and financial potential that inspire people to launch businesses. 3. Provide practical, actionable marketing advice Especially around consistency, choosing marketing channels, and building direct customer relationships. 4. Introduce how AI can simplify and amplify marketing Charest showcases tools that help business owners quickly generate content, develop campaigns, and analyze customer behavior. Key Takeaways 1.

Charest stresses that “the money is in the list.” 2. You don’t need huge numbers to be effective Small businesses often see high open and engagement rates because followers know and trust them. 3. Consistency matters more than platform choice Whether you choose Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, or email, the biggest driver of marketing success is showing up regularly. 4. Start small—don’t overwhelm yourself One of the biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make is trying to do everything at once. Begin with the basics and grow steadily. 5. Community is a crucial marketing asset Local businesses thrive when they maintain strong connections with nearby businesses, customers, and community networks. 6. Entrepreneurs face challenges—but resilience wins Charest notes that small business owners rarely have a “Plan B,” which pushes them to adapt and continue learning. 7. AI is transforming small‑business marketing Constant Contact offers tools to: Generate emails and content Summarize content for social Build full marketing campaigns Analyze behavior from large email lists to recommend actions Notable Quotes (from the transcript) Here are direct paraphrases and key phrases—not copyrighted material but drawn from the transcript: On email vs. social “There’s a $36 return for every $1 invested in email—but what matters is that you own the relationship.” “If a social platform goes away, so does your following. Email is a direct line.” On audience size “Big numbers aren’t necessary—small lists can see 50% open rates and strong engagement because those people actually care.” On entrepreneurship motivations “People want better work‑life balance, independence, and financial potential.” On mistakes “A big mistake is trying to do too much at once. Start small and stay consistent.” On community “Digital marketing should extend real relationships—not replace them.” On choosing platforms “Where your audience spends time matters, but so does where you can show up consistently.” On AI’s role “AI can generate emails, build campaigns, and analyze audience data—saving you time for what you’d rather be doing.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On Thursday, January 15, President Donald Trump announced several proposals to lower health insurance costs, which he called “The Great Healthcare Plan.” The healthcare-reform framework focuses on four broad initiatives: lowering drug prices, lowering insurance premiums, holding big insurance companies accountable, and maximizing price transparency. Although the White House has not announced specific legislative proposals to enact the policy, Trump specified he would seek to make more medications available over the counter, regulate pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), and require insurance companies to explain their costs in simple and clear language.Ad-free podcasts are here!To listen to this podcast ad-free, and to enjoy our subscriber only premium content, go to ReadTangle.com to sign up!Want to get texts from Tangle?Since October, over 13,000 Tangle readers have joined us on Subtext, our free SMS messaging service that lets us connect directly with readers.

Podcast Episode 260: Local SEO 2026—Authenticity, AI, and the Google Playbook Are you ready to start 2026 with a boom? As the digital landscape shifts, small businesses are facing a new reality where traditional search is evolving into Generative Engine Optimization (GEO). While "big brands" can often get away with less personal marketing, local businesses have a massive advantage by building genuine community connections and radical authenticity. In this episode, our Marketing Guides break down the essential playbook you need to dominate local search over the next two years, from mastering the latest Google Business Profile updates to leveraging AI without losing your human touch. What You'll Get Out of This Episode You will walk away with a clear strategic roadmap for 2026 that prioritizes human behavior and high-conversion tactics over trendy distractions. You'll learn why your website remains the most important platform you actually own and how to ensure it feeds the Large Language Models (LLMs) that power modern search results. We also dive into the "speed-to-lead" revolution, showing you why responding within minutes—not days—is the new standard for winning hot leads. What You'll Learn The Core of Local Marketing in 2026 • Why authenticity is a superpower: How small businesses can outshine international brands by getting involved in the community and building engaged email newsletters. • The "Speed-to-Lead" System: Why you must use automations, SMS, and AI chatbots to ensure you never miss a lead, as customers no longer have the patience to wait. • The truth about demographics: Why you must ignore stereotypes—especially regarding seniors, who are among the fastest-growing adopters of online search. Platforms and Content Strategy • Short-form video mastery: Why 6-second Instagram Reels are currently the top-performing content and how to use geotags to send the right signals to algorithms. • The evolution of blogging: Moving from traditional SEO to feeding AI the authoritative content it craves across platforms like Reddit, LinkedIn, and niche forums. • Balancing AI with a human touch: How to use AI for drafts and structure while avoiding "five-handed person" image fails and robotic, unedited text. Google Business Profile & Technical Essentials • GBP Verification Myths: The reality of how Google gives preference to brick-and-mortar locations with permanent signage over home-based businesses. • The disappearing Q&A: Why rumors of Google removing the Q&A feature mean you must move those answers to your own website's FAQ section immediately. • Technical SEO as a foundation: Why site speed, schema markup, and accurate directory citations across Bing, Apple Maps, and ChatGPT are more critical than ever.

Most founders drown in content — YouTube, TikTok, newsletters, podcasts — but they rarely create anything themselves. And here's the problem: consumption doesn't build businesses; creation does. In this episode, I share the practical systems and mindset shifts I've used to consistently create content for my personal brand and Foundr, even while running a company. From my “create before you consume” rule, to batching, to living by my notes, to repurposing frameworks, this is the exact approach that's helped me create momentum without burning out. Here's what you'll take away: • The rule that changed everything: create before you consume • How to build a simple content operating system using Notes, Notion, voice memos, and AI • Why one piece of content can become dozens of assets across platforms • How to capture ideas in real time instead of staring at a blank page • The mindset shift: you don't need to be a content machine — you just need to notice your life If you apply this system in 2026, you'll build leverage, authority, and opportunities that scrolling alone will never give you. This is a brand new solo series I'm testing, and I'd love your feedback. Email me directly at nathan@foundr.com — I read every reply. Hope you enjoy it.

Thanks to our Partners, NAPA Auto Care and NAPA TRACS Watch Full Video Episode Krystal Zellmer tackles the capacity crisis facing automotive shop owners, challenging the idea that leadership has to be hard. The conversation centers on self-awareness, highlighting how recognizing automatic behaviors is the first step to becoming a more effective, intentional leader. Using her peanut M&M metaphor, Zellmer explains that while individuals are responsible for their results and emotions, those outer layers do not define their core identity. The discussion also draws a clear line between delegating and dumping, emphasizing that true leadership builds employee “muscle” through training, coaching, and mentorship rather than simply offloading tasks. Ultimately, shop owners are encouraged to see challenges and failures as the necessary “wind” that strengthens their roots and expands both personal and operational capacity.

Jason Anderson is the COO of Andzen, a global customer journey and AI-powered CRM agency. In his role, he oversees operational execution and helps drive the agency's growth and client success across email, SMS, and loyalty programs. Jason has over a decade of experience in the e-commerce lifecycle and CRM marketing. In this episode… Scaling an e-commerce business can feel like combining tactics without experiencing momentum. Brands add more channels, push more messages, and chase efficiency metrics, yet retention stalls and growth plateaus. What separates brands that break through from those that remain stuck? According to e-commerce retention expert and CRM strategist Jason Anderson, the difference lies in designing intentional customer journeys. He emphasizes valuing your work, attracting ideal customers — not just the least expensive ones — and building systems that drive repeat purchases. Additionally, brands should segment customers by intent and engagement, integrate their tech stacks to uncover meaningful data, and use loyalty programs to reward behavior. In this episode of the Up Arrow Podcast, William Harris sits down with Jason Anderson, COO of Andzen, to discuss how intentional customer journeys fuel e-commerce growth. Jason shares lessons from Andzen's near-failure, smarter segmentation and reengagement strategies, and how loyalty programs can increase lifetime value without eroding margins.

C dans l'air du 20 janvier 2026 - Trump - Macron : ça tourne au duel L'Amérique de Donald Trump ne s'interdit plus rien. Pour la deuxième fois en moins d'une semaine, le président des États-Unis dégaine l'une de ses armes favorites et menace la France de représailles – avec 200 % de droits de douane sur ses vins et champagnes – si elle persiste à refuser de participer à son « Conseil de paix », avec lequel il semble vouloir remplacer l'ONU, et où il serait seul maître à bord.Mécontent de la fin de non-recevoir française, le président américain s'en est pris personnellement lundi à Emmanuel Macron, qui « va bientôt quitter ses fonctions », et a publié ce mardi un SMS du président de la République. Celui-ci y fait part de son incompréhension sur l'attitude américaine vis-à-vis du Groenland et propose d'organiser un sommet du G7 jeudi à Paris, auquel il pourrait convier, « en marge » de la réunion, « les Russes », ce qui serait une première en près de quatre ans de guerre en Ukraine.Dans un autre message, Donald Trump, en roue libre, a posté une image générée par IA le montrant, accompagné du vice-président J. D. Vance et du ministre des Affaires étrangères Marco Rubio, en train de planter un drapeau américain dans un paysage arctique, indiquant : « Groenland, territoire américain depuis 2026 ». « Les Européens ne résisteront pas beaucoup », a-t-il également affirmé ce mardi, avant d'annoncer une « réunion des différentes parties » sur le Groenland à Davos.L'Europe devra « bien sûr riposter » en cas de guerre commerciale, a déclaré ce mardi la Première ministre du Danemark devant le Parlement de son pays. Les dirigeants européens doivent se réunir ce jeudi 22 janvier lors d'un sommet extraordinaire pour décider de la riposte. Mais, d'ores et déjà, le Parlement européen devrait faire barrage à l'accord commercial scellé l'an dernier par Ursula von der Leyen, prévoyant 15 % de droits de douane sur les marchandises européennes qui arrivent aux États-Unis.Depuis Davos, la présidente de la Commission européenne a promis ce mardi une réponse « ferme » aux menaces répétées de Donald Trump sur le Groenland et les droits de douane. « C'est fou que nous devions utiliser pour la première fois l'instrument anti-coercition contre les États-Unis », a renchéri Emmanuel Macron ce mardi, soulignant que « l'Europe peut être lente, mais elle est prévisible et fondée sur l'État de droit ». Dénonçant une « concurrence » américaine visant à « affaiblir et subordonner l'Europe », le président de la République a appelé à une « préférence européenne » pour protéger l'industrie du Vieux Continent. « On ne va pas se laisser impressionner » a-t-il également ajouté.Nos experts :- Vincent HUGEUX - Journaliste indépendant, essayiste, spécialiste des enjeux internationaux- Christine OCKRENT - Journaliste, spécialiste des affaires étrangères – France Culture, autrice de Le Trump de A à Z - Anne TOULOUSE - Journaliste franco-américaine, autrice de L'art de trumper- Général Jean-Paul PERRUCHE - Général de corps d'Armée, ancien directeur général de l'État-major de l'U.E

Josh Snow built Snow Oral Care by doing what most entrepreneurs won't: taking on the household-name giants head-on—and bootstrapping his way to nine figures in sales. In this special Money Mondays episode (recorded during the $100M Mastermind experience), Josh breaks down how to win shelf space against “the whole aisle,” why adversity can become your superpower, and what really makes a brand pop when customers walk past Colgate and Crest.He also goes deep on celebrity partnerships (what founders should know before chasing big names), shares his blunt investing filter (“don't do it” unless you can stomach the loss), and explains how to choose philanthropy that actually means something instead of checking a box. And of course—he answers the signature Money Mondays question with an answer you won't forget.Want the systems to turn these lessons into booked calls and consistent revenue?

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Running an agency today looks nothing like it did even a few years ago. What used to work: SEO-driven inbound leads, tight vertical niches, and predictable platforms, has shifted fast. Today's featured guest has learned to adapt to these changes and went from having a clear and defined niche to letting clients' needs guide the next steps for her business. She'll talk about navigating those changes, evolving your positioning, and deciding whether you're actually willing to do what adaptation requires. Laryssa Wirstiuk is the owner of Joy Joya, a boutique email and SMS marketing agency that serves women-focused, product-based e-commerce brands. With more than 15 years in marketing and over a decade running her own agency, Laryssa has lived through multiple shifts in platforms, buyer behavior, and agency models. Her background as a marketing generalist, working across SEO, social, and email, gave her the flexibility to adapt as the market changed. That adaptability, combined with a strong point of view on branding, inbound marketing, and outbound growth, made her a great guest for agency owners questioning what's next for their own businesses. In this episode, we'll discuss: Starting out with a clear niche and evolving along the way. Adopting a hybrid growth strategy. Personal brand vs. clear offers.

Ready to design faster and smarter? Go to wix.com/studio to get started. How to Choose a Niche Without Getting Stuck In It Laryssa didn't stumble into her original niche by accident. After working across industries like tech, education, and healthcare, she realized none of them truly excited her. Jewelry stood out because of its mix of fashion, storytelling, and creativity. Rather than guessing, she intentionally took in-house and freelance roles in the jewelry industry to build credibility before going all in. That vertical focus paid off. By committing to a specific industry, Laryssa was able to build a strong referral network, speak at trade shows, and create highly targeted content that drove inbound leads. But after nine years in the jewelry space, she noticed that the biggest results she delivered for clients consistently came from email marketing. What started as one service among many became the clear driver of ROI. The shift from a vertical niche (jewelry) to a horizontal specialization (email and SMS marketing) wasn't a sudden pivot. It was a response to real performance data. Stronger results, clearer processes, and deeper expertise made the decision feel natural. Your niche should serve your strengths, not trap you in yesterday's model. Why Inbound Alone Is No Longer Enough For most of Joy Joya's history, inbound marketing did the heavy lifting. Content, SEO, YouTube, and a podcast tailored to the jewelry industry created steady deal flow without much outbound effort. That's one of the biggest benefits of vertical focus: you can dominate a small pond with the right content and relationships. But the market shifted. Search behavior changed. Social algorithms changed and AI entered the picture. Laryssa realized that relying solely on inbound was no longer enough. Over the past year or two, she intentionally started building outbound muscles: cold email, cold calling, LinkedIn outreach, and systems that allowed her team to support those efforts. The key insight here isn't that inbound is dead, it's that inbound alone is risky. Agencies that survived and grew were willing to adapt their acquisition mix, even when it meant doing uncomfortable things. The Hard Question Every Agency Owner Faces Adapting isn't just about strategy. You should also ask yourself whether you want to do what's required next. New platforms, new sales motions, and new expectations can trigger an existential crisis for long-time owners. You don't have to love every part of running an agency, but you do need the discipline to face the things you'd rather avoid. The solution isn't grinding forever but rather identifying what you don't enjoy, systemizing it, delegating it, or removing it altogether. Agency owners should get comfortable with change as a necessary part of running an agency. The hard part is that change often targets the things you already tolerate but don't love. That's why many agencies stall. The owners don't hate their situation enough to change it but they don't love it enough to stay fully committed either. When Personal Brand Creates Attention But Not Conversions As AI and recommendation engines influence buying decisions, developing a personal brand becomes vital when it comes to being recommended by these tools. People want to work with leaders whose beliefs, values, and perspectives they understand. That's why podcasts, long-form content, and consistent points of view matter more than ever. In her case, Laryssa shared an unexpected challenge after developing her personal brand. She had built such a strong personal and brand identity that many people understood her perspective but didn't fully understand what her agency actually did. In some cases, prospects were more familiar with the brand name than the services behind it. The lesson for agency owners is balance. Thought leadership without clear offers creates attention without conversion. As platforms evolve, it's not enough to educate—you need to connect that education to the right services, for the right audience, at the right time.

Designed for agency owners like you, our Agency Blueprint helps you uncover growth opportunities, tackle obstacles, and craft a customized blueprint for your agency's success.

The discussion focuses on Perkins' move to a CPA firm dedicated solely to the automotive industry, emphasizing how general accountants often misclassify data and miss key industry nuances. Demarest explains that a strong accounting partnership should extend beyond tax filing to include ongoing tax strategy and clear insights into profitability. Perkins shares how stepping away from a DIY approach to her finances gave her clearer visibility into market performance and greater peace of mind. Together, they make the case for shop owners to prioritize financial literacy and expert partnerships to maintain healthy, sustainable, cash flow positive businesses.

Lured Up Podcast 378 Live Streamed on - 1/12/2026 Publish Date - 1/15/2026 This week didn't finish too strong with some Trainers in the Community. While Pinch Perfect and its rotating Timed Research was a blast, Kyurem Fusion Raid Day left a bad taste in some Trainers' mouths. The inclusion of Reshiram and Zekrom in the Raid rotation hurt Trainers with less developed gameboards, as some reports saying that all the Raids in some rotations were not White or Black Kyurem, making the event fall flat until the opportunity arises to try it again during the next rotation. Adam brought up a great idea of putting Fusion Energy in Field Research for defeating Reshiram or Zekrom. This week brings High Zaptitude and a double release. Wattrel and Shiny Tadbulb make their debut during the event, giving two different Pokémon to chase that are available in different ways. You'll have to work to unlock Wattrel, as it is a Level 2 Reward of a Global Challenge, which confused some Trainers that didn't read the fine print. In all, this is a solid double header and a fun Electric event. Precious Pals and Precious Pals Taken Over will keep us busy in the week ahead, with Giovanni bringing Shadow Incarnate Forme Thundurus. We also have boosted Shinies for catching Goldeen, and hatching Espurr or Fidough. Make sure you remember to TM away Frustration before the event ends! Weekly Challenges added matchmaking and a bigger invite list this week. With the leveling grind being so popular, Weekly Challenges are a great way to fast track to Forever Friends. The Challenges themselves however, pose little to no actual challenge for moderate to hardcore Trainers. We spitball some ideas of how this mechanic can be developed to provide a tougher challenge while targeting Trainers of different skill and dedication levels. Finally we drop our top 5 gameplay loop lists and talk it through. From the Friendship Grind to Adam's Max Battle obsession, we dig into what keeps us engaged with the game and coming back for more.

What do you get when you mix hats, social media channels, and a bunch of dads? In this throwback episode, Bart Szaniewski explains how he and his buddies created Dad Gang with the mission of bringing dads together with cool hats.  At first, it was all about creativity. And then it blossomed into multiple channels and multiple dads sharing their stories. Copy and captions became even more important. Hats were being sold faster than they could make them. Everyone wanted one. How do you develop FOMO in your audience? It's as easy as creating a sense of urgency for your next drop.  Plus, Bart reveals how using a private Facebook group may be the key to hearing more from your audience.  And, Dad Gang recently launched an app and is using SMS. What are some pros and cons of implementing these ideas at your brand?  If you're a marketer who wants to learn more about scaling via social media or how SMS and apps can further your brand's presence, this is the episode for you.  Follow Bart: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bart-szaniewski-374b1141/ Follow Daniel: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themarketingmillennials/featured Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/Dmurr68 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-murray-marketing Sign up for The Marketing Millennials newsletter: www.workweek.com/brand/the-marketing-millennials Daniel is a Workweek friend, working to produce amazing podcasts.

Jordan Harper built an eight-figure skincare brand in its first year by maxing out five credit cards while already $500,000 in debt — and never raised a single dollar from investors. In this interview, the founder of Barefaced breaks down how years of treating patients as a nurse practitioner revealed a massive gap in the skincare market, why simplifying routines unlocked explosive demand, and how a password-protected pre-order generated over 1,000 sales in 48 hours with no email list. What you'll learn in this interview: • How Jordan funded her business using credit cards instead of investors • Why simplifying to four SKUs drove eight-figure revenue • The exact pre-order strategy that validated demand before launch • How to build trust and repeat purchases without paid marketing • Why destroying inventory protected long-term brand value • How Barefaced reached a 90% repeat customer rate • The real risks of manufacturing and supplier contracts • How to hire senior talent without giving up equity • Jordan's time-blocking system for running a business and family • Why serving customers beats selling at every stage of growth By the end of this episode, you'll understand how to validate a product, fund a launch creatively, and scale a physical ecommerce brand without venture capital — while protecting margins, reputation, and personal bandwidth.

Aujourd'hui, abordons trois choses culturelles françaises : dire bonjour, dire coucou et parler d'argent.  Je vous raconte comme ça se passe à Paris pour le bonjour, le coucou et l'argent. Dire bonjour est pratiquement une règle, mais c'est en fait assez récent. Avant, le conditionnel et la politesse suffisaient, maintenant tout doit commencer par un "bonjour".  Connaissez-vous l'abréviation de coucou dans les SMS? Je vous la dis.  Et je vous parle aussi d'argent... pour vous dire que justement on ne doit pas en parler.  Complétez l'expérience du podcast avec mes Lettres parisiennes : curiosité, culture et nouvelles obessions.  www.onethinginafrenchday.com

Founder-led branding isn't dead — but it is evolving fast. Showing your face and posting “day in the life” content is no longer enough to stand out. The bar has risen, audiences have matured, and what worked in 2020 doesn't cut through in 2026. In this episode, I break down exactly what's changing, what's working now, and how to build a brand presence people actually want to follow. From docu-style storytelling, to world-building, to narrative-driven content, to what to do if you don't want to be the face — this is the roadmap for founders who want to stay relevant, grow trust, and build a brand with depth. Here's what you'll take away: • Why “show up and share your story” is now the baseline, not the differentiator • What's replacing founder-led content: mini-docs, world-building, lifestyle storytelling • Why customers want more than product — they want a movement, a world, a narrative • How brands like Kenzo, Sol de Janeiro, Strawberry Milk Mob, and Drunk Elephant are winning • Why you don't have to be the face — but you must be compelling • How to blend founder-led moments with team, customer, and culture content • The #1 question to ask going into 2026: “What world am I building?” If you're feeling the pressure to post more, show up more, or be the face of your brand — this episode will help you understand what actually matters now, and how to create content that builds connection, trust, and excitement around your business. This is a brand new solo series I'm testing, and I'd love your feedback. Email me directly at nathan@foundr.com — I read every reply. Hope you enjoy it.

Thanks to our Partners, NAPA Auto Care and NAPA TRACS Watch Full Video Episode James Stephenson shares his journey from a struggling technician to the leader of multiple successful businesses, offering a candid look at what truly drives sustainable growth in auto repair. The conversation tackles the technician hiring crisis head-on, reframing recruitment as an ongoing, intentional process and rooted in a positive, proactive mindset. Stephenson credits much of his success to mentorship from Bob Cooper, highlighting how investing in employees as people, not just producers, builds long-term loyalty. By supporting personal goals like homeownership and financial stability, shop owners can create cultures where teams want to stay and grow. The episode also explores the coming “silver tsunami” of retiring shop owners and why many shops fail to become valuable, sellable businesses. Poor financial documentation and outdated systems often erode enterprise value. The takeaway is clear: with professional coaching and strong shop management practices, an auto repair shop can evolve from a job that owns you into a scalable, high-value business asset.

Send us a textWhat if your marketing wasn't a stack of disconnected tools but a living system that turns attention into revenue every day? We sit down with Kathrine Farris of MarkeTecs to map the path from inspired ideas to measurable conversions, showing how creativity and technology can finally pull in the same direction.Kathrine shares how a speaker-dependent business transformed into a scalable digital brand by productizing expertise: online courses, downloadable workbooks, and live-streamed events with recordings that kept earning. We unpack why a strong lead magnet beats a generic newsletter box, how to build a nurture sequence that actually fires, and the importance of a single message that stays consistent across your website, Instagram, Facebook, email, and SMS. When every promise is delivered on time, trust grows—and so do sales.We also dive into AI where it truly helps. From knowledge-based chat and voice agents that answer real customer questions to responsibly disclosed AI “clones” that create on-brand video content, we explore how to remove bottlenecks without losing authenticity. Then we tackle platform sprawl. Katherine explains why HighLevel has become her go-to all-in-one: CRM, automation, funnels, scheduling, and reporting in one place, plus white-labeled templates that slash setup time. The result? Cleaner data, fewer logins, and real cost savings—like dropping from $1,700 a month to $300 while gaining more capability.If you want a marketing engine that captures, nurtures, and converts—without burning your team out—this conversation lays out the blueprint.
