For the first time, Google has publicly designated a core update as a "Discover Core Update," signaling a major shift in how content is surfaced to users. In this podcast episode of the We Don't PLAY!™️ Podcast, host Favour Obasi-ike, MBA, MS, unpacks the groundbreaking February 2026 Google Core Update with 200+ people in the Clubhouse Audio LIVE! room.This update, which rolled out over 22 days, emphasizes a move towards a more personalized, AI-driven, and visually-oriented search experience. Favour explains that the Discover feed functions like a recommendation engine for the entire web, proactively suggesting content based on a user's interests and online behavior, rather than just reacting to search queries. This means the success of your content is now heavily influenced by the end-user's activity.The episode delves into the critical importance of creating "people-first" content — content that is helpful, reliable, and genuinely valuable to the audience. Favour warns against the use of clickbait and spammy headlines, as the new algorithm is designed to penalize such practices.Furthermore, the discussion highlights the often-overlooked but crucial role of technical SEO. Using a real-world client example and citing HubSpot's past struggles with a core update, Favour illustrates how a weak technical foundation can undermine even the best content strategy.The episode provides a comprehensive overview of what this update means for businesses and marketers, offering actionable advice on how to adapt and thrive. From optimizing images for a visual-first platform to conducting thorough content audits, this episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to stay ahead in the ever-evolving world of SEO.Book SEO Services | Quick Links for Social Business>> Book SEO Services with Favour Obasi-ike>> Visit Work and PLAY Entertainment website to learn about our digital marketing services>> Join our exclusive SEO Marketing community>> Read SEO Articles>> Subscribe to the We Don't PLAY Podcast>> Purchase Flaev Beatz Beats Online>> Favour Obasi-ike Quick LinksKey Takeaways1.

Content is Still King, but Context is Queen: The update prioritizes "people-first" content that is helpful, reliable, and engaging. The focus is on user intent and value, not just keywords.3. Technical SEO is Non-Negotiable: A solid technical foundation is more critical than ever. Issues with hosting, server response times, and website structure can severely impact your visibility.4. The Power of Personalization: The Discover feed is driven by user behavior and interests. This means your content's reach is now directly tied to how well it resonates with individual users.5. Visuals are Vital: The "Discover" update is inherently visual. High-quality, optimized images and videos are essential for capturing attention and driving engagement in the Discover feed.6. Say Goodbye to Gimmicks: Clickbait, spammy headlines, and other manipulative tactics will be actively penalized. Authenticity and value are the new currency of SEO.7. Embrace an Omnichannel Strategy: Relying solely on Google for traffic is a risky strategy. Building a strong presence across multiple platforms, including social media and email, is key to long-term, sustainable growth.Timestamps[00:00] Introduction to the Google Core Update[01:07] Google's First Publicly Labeled "Discover Core Update"[02:02] Timeline of the February 2026 Update[04:04] The Importance of Technical SEO[05:00] Case Study: HubSpot's Traffic Loss[06:02] The Lack of Information on Core Updates[08:12] Details of the Discover Core Update[10:15] The Role of AI in the Update[13:01] Impact on Different Industries[16:20] The "People-First" Content Strategy[20:01] The Importance of Visual Content[25:54] How User Activity Influences Search Results[27:37] Avoiding Clickbait and Spam[28:06] The Future of Search and ContentMemorable Quotes[01:07 - 01:19] "This is the first time Google has ever publicly mentioned about an update like this, especially to the open, because this doesn't usually happen all the time."[04:19 - 04:26] "I want to know about the core things that's going to either make or break your business online, especially when it comes to AI."[27:43 - 27:47] "You're going to avoid, avoid, avoid, avoid, avoid, avoid, by all means, avoid clickbait."[28:03 - 28:06] "If you're not people-first, it's gonna be quite hard."[26:11 - 26:15] "So the ball is not even in your court anymore.

What is the Google Discover Core Update?The February 2026 Google Discover Core Update is a major algorithm change that focuses on personalizing the content shown in the Google Discover feed. It uses AI to proactively recommend articles, videos, and other content based on a user's interests and online behavior, rather than just responding to search queries.2. What is "people-first" content?"People-first" content is content created primarily to provide value to the reader, rather than to rank in search engines. It should be helpful, reliable, well-written, and address the user's needs and interests. This is in contrast to content that is stuffed with keywords or uses clickbait headlines to attract clicks.3. Why is technical SEO important for this update?Technical SEO ensures that your website has a solid foundation for Google to crawl, index, and understand your content.

Text us your thoughts on the episode or the show!In this episode of Ops Cast, Michael Hartmann sits down with Jacqueline Freedman, CEO and Founder of Monarch Advisory Partners and Global Head of Advisory at The Martech Weekly, to discuss where modern marketing outreach has crossed the line from helpful to harmful.Jacqueline brings experience across B2B and B2C environments and challenges one of the most uncomfortable truths in marketing today: much of what we call cold outreach is still spam, just better branded. The conversation explores how incentive structures drive volume at the expense of trust, why deliverability issues are often symptoms of deeper misalignment, and what leaders need to rethink about how they show up in buyers' inboxes.They also discuss the difference between compliance and consent, how fragmented sending erodes inbox credibility, and why marketers cannot subject-line their way out of systemic problems. Along the way, Jacqueline shares what B2B can learn from B2C about respecting attention, and what B2C can learn from B2B about discipline, governance, and durability.What you will learn: • Why cold email fatigue is an incentive problem, not just a messaging problem • The behaviors that quietly damage deliverability over time • How to know when it is time to bring in specialized deliverability expertise • Why serious tone does not equal credibility in B2B • How to distinguish real thought leadership from polished noise • What responsibility operators have when narrative drifts from realityIf you care about sustainable growth, brand trust, and long-term deliverability, this episode will challenge how you think about outreach and accountability.Be sure to subscribe, rate, and review Ops Cast, and join the conversation at MarketingOps.com.Episode Brought to You By MO Pros The #1 Community for Marketing Operations Professionals We're an official media partner of B2BMX 2026 — the B2B Marketing Exchange — happening March 9-11 at the Omni La Costa Resort in Carlsbad, CA.

Hand aufs Herz: Wenn du an massives Umsatzwachstum denkst, woran denkst du zuerst? Vermutlich an Kaltakquise, neue Leads oder volle Messehallen. Doch wenn wir ehrlich sind, vernachlässigen wir dabei oft den wichtigsten Hebel für nachhaltigen Erfolg: die Kundenbindung B2B. Fast 90 Prozent der B2B-Vertriebe tappen in diese Falle. Denn wir sind Jäger. Wir wollen die Trophäe an der Wand. Aber was passiert eigentlich, nachdem der Vertrag unterschrieben ist? Oft herrscht dann Funkstille oder der Kunde wird lediglich „verwaltet". Dabei liegt genau hier, direkt vor deiner Nase, das größte ungenutzte Potenzial deines Unternehmens. In dieser Episode habe ich deshalb mit Manuel Spors gesprochen. Er ist Experte für Bestandskundenmanagement und Autor des neuen Buches „Die Loyalitätsformel". Gemeinsam zerlegen wir den Mythos, dass Wachstum immer „neu" bedeuten muss. Stattdessen schauen wir uns an, wie du den Customer Lifetime Value steigern kannst, ohne ständig dem nächsten Lead hinterherzujagen. Die Akquise-Falle: Warum Kundenbindung B2B oft scheitert Kennst du das beklemmende Gefühl der Kaufreue? Du kaufst ein neues Auto, fährst stolz vom Hof, und an der ersten Ampel siehst du den Wagen, den du nicht genommen hast. Plötzlich fragst du dich: War es wirklich die richtige Entscheidung? Deinem Kunden geht es haargenau so. Nach der Unterschrift fällt die emotionale Kurve oft rasant in den Keller. Genau in diesem kritischen Moment lassen viele Vertriebe jedoch los. Der Kunde wird lieblos an den Innendienst oder einen Sachbearbeiter übergeben mit dem Gedanken: „Der macht das schon". Das ist allerdings ein fataler Bruch für eine echte Kundenbindung B2B. Manuel nennt dieses Phänomen die „Akquise-Falle". Wir investieren Unmengen an Energie, um den Kunden durch die Tür zu kriegen. Doch sobald er drin ist, behandeln wir ihn wie eine Selbstverständlichkeit. Dabei ist es statistisch gesehen viel einfacher und günstiger, an jemanden zu verkaufen, der dir bereits vertraut. Customer Lifetime Value steigern: Das Starbucks-Prinzip im B2B Lass uns über den Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) sprechen. Das ist der Gesamtwert, den ein Kunde über die gesamte Dauer der Zusammenarbeit für dich hat. Um diesen Wert zu maximieren, müssen wir von den Besten lernen. Ein geniales Beispiel ist Starbucks. Ein Neukunde darf Starbucks angeblich bis zu 1.000 Euro kosten. Das klingt für einen 6-Euro-Kaffee zunächst verrückt, oder? Aber Starbucks rechnet anders: Wenn du einmal Kunde bist und zufrieden bist, kommst du wieder. Woche für Woche. Jahr für Jahr. Folglich ist der CLV gigantisch hoch. Im B2B-Umfeld ist das sogar noch extremer. Ich habe Kunden erlebt, die dachten, sie hätten einen „guten Deal" über 50.000 Euro gemacht. Auf meine Frage, wie viel der Kunde insgesamt in dieser Kategorie einkauft, kam jedoch heraus: 5 Millionen. Der Verkäufer hatte also gerade mal 1 Prozent des Potenzials abgeschöpft. Die wichtigste Frage, die du heute stellen kannst, um deinen Customer Lifetime Value zu steigern: Welches Potenzial hat dein Kunde wirklich? Upselling und Cross-Selling: Motoren für Bestandskundenmanagement Wie holst du dieses schlummernde Potenzial ab? Die Antwort liegt im intelligenten Upselling und Cross-Selling. Aber bitte nicht plump, sondern mit Stil. Stell dir vor, du sitzt in einem guten italienischen Restaurant. Du bist satt. Der Kellner kommt und fragt lustlos: „Noch ein Dessert?" Deine Antwort ist automatisch: „Nein, danke." Szenario B: Der Kellner rollt einen Wagen direkt an deinen Tisch. Du siehst die frische Mousse au Chocolat, das Tiramisu, es duftet herrlich. Er fragt gar nicht, ob du willst. Er zeigt dir das Erlebnis. Deine Chance, „Nein" zu sagen, sinkt dramatisch. Genau das müssen wir im Vertrieb tun, um die Kundenbindung B2B zu festigen: Upselling: Biete die VIP-Variante an. Mehr vom Selben, aber besser, schneller, exklusiver. Cross-Selling: Was ergänzt das Produkt perfekt? Manuel hat als Fotograf früher nur die Hochzeit fotografiert. Dann kam die Fotobox dazu. Später das Video. Schließlich das After-Wedding-Shooting. Aus einem Auftrag wurde so ein Vielfaches an Umsatz. Die Loyalitätsformel: Touchpoints für langfristige Kundenbindung B2B Echte Loyalität passiert nicht durch Zufall. Sie braucht System. Denn dein Kunde hat ein Leben, eine Familie, Hobbys. Er denkt nicht 24/7 an deine Firma. Deshalb musst du ihn daran erinnern, dass es dich gibt – aber mit Mehrwert, nicht mit Spam. 1. Der strategische Newsletter im Bestandskundenmanagement Vergiss den wöchentlichen „Wir sind so toll"-Newsletter. Manuels Steuerberater schickt stattdessen alle drei Monate ein Update: Was hat sich rechtlich geändert? Wo gibt es Handlungsbedarf (z.B. Förderungen)? Der Kunde muss nur antworten: „Ja, brauche ich." Das ist Service, kein Spam, und stärkt die Bindung enorm. 2. Der Podcast als Instrument, um den Customer Lifetime Value zu steigern Ein eigener Podcast ist ein mächtiges Tool für Bestandskundenmanagement. Lade deine Kunden ein! Lass sie über ihre Erfolge sprechen. Das hat mehrere Vorteile: Wertschätzung für den Kunden (er bekommt eine Bühne). Das perfekte Testimonial für Neukunden. Ein exzellenter Grund, wieder Kontakt aufzunehmen. 3. Echte Überraschungen (Der Ritz-Carlton-Moment) Die Geschichte vom vergessenem Kuscheltier im Ritz Carlton ist legendär. Das Hotel schickte das Stofftier nicht einfach zurück, sondern machte Fotos davon am Pool und an der Bar („Ich mache noch länger Urlaub") und sendete diese mit. Der Aufwand? 10 Minuten. Der Effekt? Lebenslange Treue der Eltern. Was ist dein „Kuscheltier-Moment" für deine Kundenbindung B2B? Vielleicht eine handgeschriebene Karte zum Frühlingsanfang statt der 08/15-Weihnachtskarte, die eh im Müll landet? Fazit: Dreh den Trichter um (Bow Tie Funnel) Wir reden im Vertrieb oft vom Sales Funnel. Oben viel rein, unten kommt der Abschluss raus. Aber eigentlich geht es danach erst richtig los. Denk an eine Fliege (Bow Tie). Nach dem Knoten (dem Kauf) öffnet sich der Trichter wieder: Upselling, Cross-Selling, Empfehlungen. Wenn du deinen Vertrieb darauf ausrichtest, wird die Neukundenjagd plötzlich zweitrangig. Du wächst entspannter, profitabler und mit mehr Freude. Fang an, deine Bestandskunden nicht nur zu verwalten, sondern zu begeistern. Möchtest du wissen, wie viel Potenzial wirklich in deinem Vertrieb schlummert und wie du deine Kundenbindung B2B professionalisierst? Lass uns sprechen.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by LMNT, we are joined once again by outdoor filmmaker and long-distance backpacker, Lauren "Longway" Roerick. Lauren shares the highs and lows of a massive year of international backpacking and adventure, including dragging her "indoor cat" brother along on the 88 Temple Pilgrimage in Japan and her not in such great shape dad on the Camino del Norte in Spain, her less than stellar experience on the Via Dinarica and how one especially unfortunate stretch in Montenegro ultimately forced her off trail, quickly rinsing the palette with some gorgeous hiking on the Transcaucasian Trail in Georgia, and her experience hiking the Santa Fe to Taos Trail as part of our "get paid to thru-hike" sponsorship. We also learn more about Lauren's background, including a chaotic international divorce, learning calculus in Chinese, and how she once sang opera although refuses to do so for you- we forgive her and this is a fun, inspirational chat regardless. We wrap the show with a hidden gem thru-hike in New York, a Triple Crown of Pop (not SODA!), and what trail traditions should be celebrated on spring equinox.

You jump into this episode balancing the reality of working gigs with the mindset that keeps musicians moving forward. From Dave’s recent experiences playing atypical rooms with Bitter Pill to cramming new material for Casual Gravity, you're reminded that momentum matters even when the crowd is small. Always Be Performing is not about scale, it's about consistency. That theme carries straight into the conversation with Laura Whitmore, whose career has been shaped by connecting people, creating opportunities, and knowing when to pull back just enough to build a sustainable life alongside the work. As Laura walks you through the birth and growth of the She Rocks Awards, you hear what it actually takes to build something lasting. It started small, grew through trust and partnerships, and evolved by treating the event like a show, with pacing, flow, and intention. You dig into what real visibility looks like, how to define success on your own terms, and why borrowed platforms are never enough to build a career. The takeaway is practical and clear: start with a big vision, set measurable goals, build community deliberately, and own your audience. This episode is a reminder that longevity comes from intention, preparation, and showing up with purpose, gig after gig. 00:00:00 Gig Gab 520 – Monday, February 9th, 2026 February 9th: National Pizza Day 00:01:00 Dave's Gig Updates Playing atypical venues with Bitter Pill Learning new songs with Casual Gravity Always Be Performing…even for the small crowds! 00:17:10 SPONSOR: Squarespace.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by Topo Athletic…today's episode is pure chaos. If you've listened to any of our Hiking Viking episodes, you already know what I'm talking about. After four "Girl Stuff" episodes, Chaunce figured it was only fair to balance the scales with what we're officially calling the Guy Stuff episode, a panel-style conversation that goes off the rails almost immediately, featuring Jabba and Lt Cookoo Bird. We cover everything from trail grooming strategy (aka pube management), to whether you'd rather have boobs or a vagina for 24 hours, to making Backpacker Radio condoms as trail swag, Chaunce has a beard, and Jabba bites Chaunce's toes. If you're looking for polished thru-hiking advice… this ain't it. This is a circus. Enjoy the ride. Topo Athletic: Use code "TREKWINTER15" at topoathletic.com.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by LMNT, we are joined yet again by our pal and Hall of Fame trail name holder Marla Davidson, better known as "Fancy Feast". Fancy Feast is a wealth of knowledge and unfortunate and embarrassing stories. She shares a nasty medical mishap involving poodle dog bush on the PCT, we look back at her time with the Vermont Youth Conservation Corps, where she and other "malnourished minors" subsisted on moldy bread and Sriracha, which was presented as a vegetable. Fancy Feast gives us an overview of her 2024 calendar hikes of the PCT and CDT, her experience navigating the Hayduke Trail with Horsepower (former guest) after he convinced her with a PowerPoint presentation, and the hilarious mismatch in hiking styles from this somewhat random pairing. She details what it's like being a PNTA crew lead, and the challenges associated in light of funding cuts and crews being reduced to a skeleton staff. Feast also shares standout stories from her international travels, including a "pig water" disaster in the Andes, her time at the Green Mountain Club with a persistent bear that turned her food box into a rolling pinata, and her hot takes on thru-hiker "main character energy" and entitlement. We wrap the show with whether we'd rather have three butt cheeks or just one, the triple crown of mild yet particular icks or phobias, and the news of how one Hayduke hiker got caught in quicksand. Yes, really. LMNT: Get a free sample pack with any order at drinklmnt.com/trek.

Don and Tom tackle fears about U.S. national debt by breaking down who actually owns it (mostly Americans), why “China owns us” is wildly overstated, and why rising interest costs matter more than sensational headlines. They explain why government debt isn't a looming foreclosure scenario, how interest payments circulate back to investors, and why politics often distorts financial decision-making. The show also covers 60/40 portfolio resilience, the real role of bonds, listener questions on AVGE and DFAW, investing simplicity, and a nostalgic detour into Spam keys and Mad Men—ending with encouragement for disciplined, long-term investing. 0:05 National debt fears and the “Mr. Potter foreclosing America” analogy 0:27 Holiday movies, Home Alone sequels, and It's a Wonderful Life 1:13 Who really owns U.S. debt and why it matters 2:50 Japan, UK, and China holdings explained 4:02 Why foreign selling wouldn't crash the economy 5:13 Most U.S. debt is owned domestically 5:31 Interest payments now exceeding military spending 6:18 What debt interest really costs households 7:19 Why investors shouldn't panic over government debt 8:15 Politics vs. rational investing decisions 9:55 Debt, taxes, and what society is willing to give up 11:28 Historical tax rates and Mad Men economics 12:37 Military spending and post-WWII budgets 13:22 60/40 portfolios and market downturn protection 14:43 Worst historical declines for balanced portfolios 16:37 Long-term resilience of diversified investing 17:51 Bonds: income vs. volatility control 19:08 Spam keys, Hormel, and changing industries 20:52 AVGE, DFAW, and Apella portfolio structure 22:29 Simplicity vs. complexity in investing 23:47 Podcast longevity and download estimates Learn more about your ad choices.

The world was deeply impacted by two American food creations... Spam and Chocolate Chip Cookies. We would never imagine them as culinary compliments. In fact, they are culinary antagonists to each other. Yet both creations were at the heart of one of the most difficult times in world history... World War 2. Spam became the product that fed millions as part of the lend-lease act during WW2. Chocolate Chip cookies became the most asked for product from soldiers during WW2. Together these two food inventions lifted hearts and built an appreciation for the American Brand that to this day impacts not only America but the world. #BardsFM_TheAmericanBrand #SpamAndChocolateChipCookies #TheHeartOfACheerfulGiver Bards Nation Health Store: www.bardsnationhealth.com EnviroKlenz Air Purification, promo code BARDS to save 10%: www.enviroklenz.com EMPShield protect your vehicles and home.

Jacques Pépin just turned 90, and he's spent his career defying expectations. By 1958, at the age of 23, he had cooked for three French presidents. But he left that life to work at a high-end restaurant in New York, then gave that up to cook at Howard Johnson's, making food for the masses. After a life-altering accident, Jacques found his next love: teaching other people how to cook. By the early ‘90s he was one of America's best-known TV chefs. This week, Dan visits Jacques at his home in Connecticut, where the chef shares his recipe for SPAM, talks about his pivot to Instagram, and discusses the pleasures of a life spent experimenting.Jacques Pépin's latest book is The Art of Jacques Pépin: Favorite Recipes and Paintings from My Life in the Kitchen.This episode originally aired on January 24, 2022, and was produced by Dan Pashman, Emma Morgenstern, Andres O'Hara, Johanna Mayer, Tracey Samuelson, and Jared O'Connell.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by Topo Athletic, we are joined yet again by our pal Andrew Skurka and wayyyyy back former guest and now co-director of Skurka Adventures, Katie Gerber aka "Salty". Today's episode covers a lot of ground. Today's conversation is part backpacking advice, part gear nerd chat, part a glimpse inside the operation at Skurka Adventures. We first dive into Katie's list of the five biggest mistakes she made as a beginner backpacker and her take on why she loves her alcohol stove- after a decade of use. Andrew gives us an overview of vapor barrier layers and moisture management for cold-weather backpacking, the Ursack versus bear canister debate, he gives a framework for deciding exactly when it's time to hit the SOS button on your satellite communicator, the ethics of publicizing GPS tracks in these high consequence and fragile regions, and he shares his two cents on one of the most detailed bear-safety questions we've ever received. The duo also give us some standout stories from their years of working together, including a nightmarish and somehow hilarious story of surviving a Mojave Desert traffic jam in triple-digit heat. We wrap the show with a call for Trail Correspondents, if setting up your tent in the airport makes you a genius or an A-hole, the triple crown of winter drinks, and some fun Ibex facts from a listener.

You would think we could tell the difference between a wrong number and a scam text. Well, it seems like Sky is not one of those people... Fortunately she caught on and was able to spot the scam but only because the scammer didn't do their research

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio, presented by The Trek, brought to you by LMNT, we are joined by Eric Volk, who we attempt to trail name "5-16." In just six years, Eric went from novice hiker to expert off-trail adventurer, completing his own custom routes across the Sierra, Grand Canyon, North Cascades, and Alaska, including his Brooks Range Traverse and Arctic thru-hike. He is believed to be the first or second person to hike from the Canadian border to the Arctic Ocean entirely on foot. Today, we're getting an in-depth tutorial on all things off-trail and route-based hiking. Eric gives a detailed overview of how to get started with off-trail adventuring, the biggest differences between hiking on trail and off, recommended "beginner" routes, key gear considerations, the navigational skills required (including the specific tools he uses and recommends), the wide variety of terrain you might encounter, weather considerations, the importance of doing your due diligence, and much more. Eric also shares some fun stories from his routes, including trekking through the mathematically most remote place in the U.S., incredible wildlife encounters with caribou, grizzlies, musk ox, and mountain lions, and the ethics of publicizing GPX tracks.
