Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's relationship was still only a fresh rumor in 2023, when State Farm brought together Travis' mother, Donna Kelce, and Jake from State Farm at an NFL game.On a new episode of The Big Impression, State Farm's Patty Morris dives into how the company quickly capitalized on the opportunity despite being risk-averse.  Episode TranscriptPlease note, this transcript  may contain minor inconsistencies compared to the episode audio.Damian Fowler (00:00):I'm Damian Fowler.Ilyse Liffreing (00:01):And I'm Ilyse Liffreing,Damian Fowler (00:02):And welcome to this edition of The Big Impression.Ilyse Liffreing (00:09):Today we're diving into one of the most buzzworthy brand moments in recent memory when Jake from State Farm crashed the Taylor Swift NFL multiverse in a way only he could.Damian Fowler (00:20):Our guest is Patty Morris, head of brand at State Farm. Patty and her team turned a viral cultural moment into a strategic marketing win from the sidelines of an NFL game to the front lines of CTV social and beyond.Ilyse Liffreing (00:34):We're talking about that famous seat swap with Mama Kelsey, and then digging into why Jake keeps showing up in all the right places and how State Farm is rewriting the playbook on building a culturally fluent brand.Damian Fowler (00:47):So let's get into it. We're going to go back to the fall of 2023 when Taylor Swift shows up at a chiefs game and sits next to Mama Kelsey and days later, Jake from State Farm's. In that seat, could you take us behind the scenes and how the idea came together so quickly?Patty Morris (01:07):Okay. Well first let me just back us up a little bit. Okay. State Farm is 103 year old, brand 103, so we have certain ways of doing things,Ilyse Liffreing (01:19):A lot of legacy there right?Patty Morris (01:19):Yes. A lot of legacy we, I think, have been successful as marketers and done a lot of great things over the decades, but we have a way of doing things and you can imagine we're an insurance company, we're risk averse, all of those things. I would just say knowing that context, how do you get from that to an agency calling you on a Friday night and saying, we have this big idea and we think you need to execute it, and it's in about 40 hours. And also it's on probably one of the biggest stages there is, and you say yes to that of course, but how do you get from A to BI think is your question. How did you make that happen? And I would just say a couple of things. One, you have to set the right conditions so that you are part of the cultural Lex Conna in a way that those opportunities come to you. And I think we had done that over time with Jake from State Farm, being really methodical about that and getting him out there in a way that people want to see him and in a way that is a best representation of our brand and allows us to be in cultural places that we otherwise couldn't without that physical brand asset.Damian Fowler (02:30):I mean, everyone obviously wanted to be part of that moment, and it's interesting that you bring up the fact that State Farm is risk averse, and yet you made it in it into that moment. Why was your connection to the Kelsey family and Jake's cultural capital so critical to making it land?Patty Morris (02:47):Yeah, I mean, I think the other context in the background around a moment like that is we've spent a long time over a decade really working to be endemic in the football landscape. Whether it was our longstanding campaign with Aaron Rogers and now Patrick Mahomes, we had brought Travis Kelsey into our football creative for the season and he was part of that work. If you remember, the Mahomes and Otto commercial was the best bundle in the league.Damian Fowler (03:15):Oh yeah, yeah, I do remember.Patty Morris (03:16):So we had all of those things working together, plus all the work we had done to make Jake from State Farm who he is, and you get this lightning moment where you have the right to be there because you have Jake and people love him, and he's a physical manifestation of an intangible product that you can put in these environments. We've built a brand that's endemic in football and is recognized in that space and just I think hats off to the creative mindset at maximum effort for calling us and saying, we think this could be a really great joyful cultural moment. And not many people could go sit in that seat next to Mama Kelsey the week after, but we think fans will love this and risk averse or not. When you hear an idea like that and you are able to put your brand in a position like that, you say yes. And if there's anybody that understands maximizing a cultural moment and doing it in the right way, I think it's maximum effort. So you trust them in that moment to do that with you. And man, we did it very quickly.Ilyse Liffreing (04:23):Very cool. Yeah, no, I know. I was just going to say it was very fast. The timing was impeccable.Patty Morris (04:30):Yeah, I think a week later it wouldn't haveIlyse Liffreing (04:32):Landed. No,Patty Morris (04:33):I agree. It had to be that weekend and just the next cultural beat right after that, and I think it really surprised people and added value to what they were seeing and during the game and just a really joyful way.Ilyse Liffreing (04:46):How quickly did it come together after the idea came into,Patty Morris (04:50):They called us on a Friday night and after a long week, a busy week said, Hey, we have this idea, but we have to make it happen on Sunday, or we don't think it'll work. And we said, we agree, but oh my gosh, how are we going to make this happen by Sunday? And so of course their next call is Jake from State Farm, are you busy? Can you be there? Can you get to New York overnight? Basically. And the actor that plays Jake, Kevin Miles is such a great partner,(05:21):He gets that call and says, what's the idea? And we tell him and he is like, well, we have to do it, we have to do that. We think so too. And he's like, then yes, I'll get there. I'll be there. So Friday night to, I can't remember what time the game was on Sunday, but wow, it was very fast and we're not used to moving that fast. That was an effort for us, but a really important moment. And I think in tipping point where we started to build some muscle around being able to capitalize on those kind of moments.Ilyse Liffreing (05:50):How long would you say campaigns usually take to come together toPatty Morris (05:54):PrepareIlyse Liffreing (05:54):A little bit?Patty Morris (05:55):It depends, right? It depends. Sometimes you plan something out and you're building something big. You do that really methodically and strategically, and it takes a while. Sometimes you're doing something that is a smaller scale and you can do that faster. But these types of things are really, we call 'em lightning in a bottle moment when it has to be, the specific parameters have to be exactly right. The stars have to align, and you have to be able to do that quickly. And so we try to work with our teams to be doing the long-term things, but also have the capacity to be able to turn and burn on a great idea when we see it. And I think that's why we've been able to hop into these cultural moments and punch above our weight as a brand because they're not paid moments, they're cultural moments that get a lot of earned attention, and that can be really powerful. Very cool.Damian Fowler (06:44):So beyond that moment, then you've got that, you capture that lining moment, then what do you do and how do you make it, you channel the cultural impact of that moment across the different channels going forward to maximize it?Patty Morris (07:00):First thing you do is celebrate, right? You took a risk and it landed and it paid off. And it's important to celebrate that because it can be really scary, right? I'm sure we've got this really precious, iconic brand in our hands. We've got this really precious asset in Jake from State Farm that we've worked so hard to build. And you take a risk like that. I think it's just important to celebrate when you make the right decisions and you're able to do it quickly. But we talk a lot about an equation that we have at State Farm, and it's a shift that we've made. We of course care about how many impressions we get. We of course care about our cost pers, right? All the things that we marketers have to care about and do care about. We try to focus on putting things through a lens, especially things like this through the lens of reach times engagement equals attention.(07:50):So when you get this sort of lightning moment, it's just a cultural moment that everybody's already paying attention to and you sort of are able to insert yourself into it. We have a lot of great partners that we work with, media partners, and we endemic in that football space. We knew everybody was going to look at that moment. We didn't really have to do a lot. We just had to put Jake from State Farm in the seat and everybody's attention turned to it, and it created its own 360 moment in its own way. And so the earned potential you get from that, the attention, that attention metric, syndicated headlines, engagement in social, everybody talking about it on replays and highlights, it's priceless. It's priceless. So I would say a lot of things, we have to work really hard to spread it across channels and make it 360. This was really just a matter of setting up the moment and then letting it do its thing.Ilyse Liffreing (08:46):How do you think about where Jake will show up next?Patty Morris (08:50):We actually try to be really disciplined about this. He is that physical manifestation of the promise that we sell in insurance and the relationship that we sell. And so I think the first criteria is, is it authentic to the brand and how we want him to show up, and is it demonstrating relationship and connection in the right way, and is it true to our values wherever he's going to show up? The reality also is he is one human being, so we have to manage his calendar appropriately. And Jake's a busy guy, very busy guy. He is an influencer in his own right. He's got 1.4 million followers on TikTok. The TikTok job alone is a lot. So we're pretty choiceful about where and when he shows up. So it's got to be the right fit. It's got to be an opportunity for us to really demonstrate that physical connection and we got to work it into the calendar. Yeah,Ilyse Liffreing (09:45):That's funny. So I would love to then now dig into some of your takeaways from that campaign. Were there any results, like reactions that you saw from the mom and Kelsey moment maybe in terms of brand lift or broader cultural impact?Patty Morris (10:01):Yeah, I mean, I think part of what has catapulted this branded asset into the cultural space in a way that just honestly, it's hard to measure. So of course we look at individual campaign metrics. Do we see brand lift in the body of commercial work that we put out? But in a case like this, it's harder to measure. So I think we mentioned the earned and the billions of impressions that created the engagement and the chatter online and all of that. But it's really all of those metrics combined with some of the intangibles. It's like when it comes to Jake from State Farm or our brand, we're constantly testing those assets for familiarity. So recognition and relevance, and we do it two or three times a year. And so we can see where he plots on that compared to our competitors and compared to our rest of our assets, we've got six, seven really important assets that are really familiar and we've worked really hard to build. Most brands are happy and lucky to have one or two. We've got seven of them.Damian Fowler (11:04):SoPatty Morris (11:05):That's a metric that we look at too, to say is what we're doing collectively and in cases like the Mama Kelsey moment, pushing those assets into higher recognition and higher relevance and uniqueness for our brand. And those are the metrics that we're looking at.Damian Fowler (11:22):I also want to ask you, what did you learn about your audience after the appearance and the way they engaged with Jake in that moment?Patty Morris (11:31):It's such a phenomenon to me that this character can be in a lot of different cultural places and be accepted. So we didn't know if you go sit him next to Mama Kelsey after a Taylor Swift moment, people are going to love it or they're going to hate it. It's not one of those things that maybe no one will notice and we'll just see. It's a big swing.(11:57):So I think we learned from fans that he is welcome in those cultural moments, and so that got us to have a little more confidence routes around some of the decisions we've made since then. So when you see him at Bravocon, you see him at TwitchCon, you see him at Coachella, and we do an exclusive drop with Travis Scott. And the reaction to him in those places, whether it's online and in social and how people comment and engage about it or in real life, is actually overwhelming. So many people will come up to us or we'll approach Jake, who are my kids love you. My kids won't stop talking about you. And even young kids, Jake from State Farm, they want their picture with him. So I think we've learned over time that he does have this universal appeal, and he's welcome. He's loved in these places, and so you're able to add value to people's experiences and to some of this context in a way that you just wouldn't expect from an insurance company.Ilyse Liffreing (12:55):So Jake obviously has become much more than a spokesperson. He's a TV personality at this point, and he's a spokes influencer as well.Damian Fowler (13:05):Spokes spoke.Ilyse Liffreing (13:07):Spoke.Damian Fowler (13:08):IIlyse Liffreing (13:08):Liked it. Okay. Say that three times. We need to redo this.Damian Fowler (13:11):No, no, it was good. I think it was good, the interaction. That was good.Ilyse Liffreing (13:14):Okay. The spoke flu? Yes. If you'll, I think you coined that perhaps. Maybe we did. Maybe we did maybe. But he has permission to show up anywhere, basically. How did you build that kind of brand equity?Patty Morris (13:30):I think it's a thousand little things over a long period of time. Original Jake from State Farm, that commercial was in 2011, right? So you've got a long history of equity in 2019. We recast that role and we're very specific about how we wanted to bring that to life. So I think it's been many things over a long period of time. But also I would say especially in some of these more recent cultural things, we test in small places. We test smaller things, we build competence, and then we try the next thing and you can see the reception to it. And I would say the other thing that stands out to people are his clothes. So red and khaki and his kind of uniform that he wears has also become pretty recognizable, and people talk about that a lot. And we take a lot of care in how he dresses and how he shows up.(14:23):So naturally we talk a little bit about apparel and fashion places and could he be accepted in that area and we can connect with a totally different audience that otherwise again, would not be connecting with insurance maybe. And so we test into small places. You wouldn't say, let's have Jake show up at the Met Gala right out of the gate you would say, where can we try a couple of places? So we work with gq, we send him to Vogue World and just see how does it go? He does a whole behind the scenes content series around it. He shows up there and fans loved it. They're so excited for him. They feel like he's their friend and they're just excited to see how he's moving through the world and everybody's cheering for him, rooting for him. I think you try in small places and you test in small places, you build confidence so that you can say yes to the big swings and you can just kind of know in your gut when that's right.Damian Fowler (15:15):Are you able to connect that recognition, that brand equity to business outcomes? I know people say, oh, there's Jake, in terms of actual business impact.Patty Morris (15:25):Yeah, of course. We're looking at brand awareness, especially with younger audiences. And like I said, Jake is universally loved. We're working hard to make sure we're relatable and relevant with younger audiences, especially in these big cultural moments. And we see our awareness scores being at the top of our category. We see our consideration scores and the trend of improvement over the last five, six years as we've really put Jake forward in this way and become really consistent about it. And there's also sort of the offline pieces of that, and you look at how people are talking about him online and the conversation and the performance on his TikTok and the brand lift that comes from that. So absolutely, we wouldn't be doing this if we didn't think it had profound business value. And I think we cracked the code a little bit on how to do it in a way that isn't a caricature or a mascot. It's this in-between version of it can really have a personal connection with consumers either digitally or commercially or in real life. And I think that's special about it.Damian Fowler (16:28):We're talking about maximizing impact, especially around new channels. Are there any that you are looking at in particular? Like CTV?Patty Morris (16:35):Yeah, in CTV streaming, just the collapsing of the funnel is how we talk about it. Where in a lot of these streaming environments, you're really able to pull people through an experience in a way that you couldn't before. So the connected piece of that, the data that surrounds that and how you actually make that work from a customer experience perspective in a way that can pull people through, not just from seeing your ad, but actually considering you and able to take an action in that moment is really exciting. So we are experimenting with a lot of different things and a lot of different partners. We did some really great work last year with Amazon and Thursday night football. So that to me is a super exciting area and one that I think marketers are going to be able to show results from in a way that we just haven't before, all across the funnel, which is super exciting.Ilyse Liffreing (17:27):It's hard for a lot of brands, especially legacy brands, to be so nimble and quick with their brand spokesperson. What would you say to marketers who are hesitant to take those kind of risks?Patty Morris (17:40):I would say know the places where you have to be vigilant about your brand and know the places where you can turn over your pen a little bit. And I think that's especially true just with the rise of creators and creators and influencers as a very important media channel. We've been talking about that a lot this week here and can around how brands work with creators and the partnership that you have to have because it can feel really uncomfortable as a brand to turn over your very precious thing to creators, but they know their audiences bestIlyse Liffreing (18:16):AndPatty Morris (18:16):They know what's going to work. And so it can feel scary, but you kind of have to turn over the reins a little bit and let them work and create with your brand in a way that's going to be relevant to consumers and their audiences. And so I think that is true in this context as well.Damian Fowler (18:32):To pull off a move like this, a brand has to move fast. And I'm curious just to hear from inside as it were, what structures or ways of working at State Farm made you capable first off of pulling something like this off, and then maybe what have you learned from it as a company?Patty Morris (18:47):Yeah, again, being 103, it's hard. We've got set ways of working and we have legal and compliance teams, and those are very real parameters that as a marketer you have to pay attention to. But culture waits for no one. Culture just keeps on moving. And if you really are going to capitalize on these moments as they happen, you have to be nimble in new ways. And I think it's just have the discussions, get on the phone, talk through it, is it the right thing at the right time? And is it worth taking some calculated risk because the benefit to the brand and the business is going to be strong enough to outweigh the risk. And there's no way you can do that or know that without just rolling up your sleeves and hashing through it with your team and making the best decisions you can for your brand.(19:31):And if you get it right, it can be a gold mine. If you get it wrong, it can really be hard. So I think that it is difficult and it's stressful, but for us, mama Kelsey moment was probably a tipping point where we said we have to recognize and be able to act quickly and nimbly when that makes sense. Not all the time that would be chaos, but when it makes sense and do it in a way that's going to be acceptable to our organization and feel good about that, but also in a way that is going to allow us not just to react to moments, but be moment makers. So I think we've moved on from that moment to do that in different spaces, and it's been great for the brand. That'sIlyse Liffreing (20:11):Wonderful. That was great. Now we have some rapid fire questions forPatty Morris (20:14):You. Okay. Okay.Ilyse Liffreing (20:17):So first one is a question that is a popular one for this podcast. What are you obsessed with figuring out right now?Patty Morris (20:26):Oh, so many obsessions. My biggest one right now is organic search and really just understanding how that's going to move and change with AI and generative AI and what that means for brands and how you need to show up. That landscape is changing and it's so critical to adapt to what really is consumer behavior, adapting to the consumer behavior in a way that is going to make sure we're showing up in the right places in the right ways. And it's probably one of the biggest places that I can see right now that is changing rapidly and significantly. So we're really working hard to make sure we're on top of that.Ilyse Liffreing (21:04):Yeah. On that note, are there other ways you are already using AI or experimenting with that?Patty Morris (21:10):Yeah, I mean, it's such an exciting time to be a marketer and also a little bit unsettling. And so I think like many others, we're experimenting in certain places. We've been using AI through certain things for a while, but there are other areas where we're really just experimenting. So probably the biggest is content scaling. How do you responsibly use AI to create content at scale and do that in the right way, in a compliant way? Because the unlock there is just exponential connection with consumers and personalized connection with consumers, and it has the potential to free up capacity of teams and agencies to do other things, more things, different things, which is really exciting, but we're also very focused on doing that responsibly.Ilyse Liffreing (21:59):Would you use it with Jake since the schedule is so packed?Patty Morris (22:04):That's a good question. No, not yet. Not yet. Jake. The beauty of Jake is he's a real person, and that's one of the core tenets of what we all love about him. I think we'll keep it that way for now. That's a good answer.Damian Fowler (22:18):Okay. So next, what's missing from the market from your point of view?Patty Morris (22:24):This week has been so interesting and inspirational. For me personally, and this might be a little bit weird, but my biggest takeaway from this week is making sure we're asking ourselves what are we trying to make people feel? I think as a marketer, you can just get really wrapped up in a lot of quantity over quality, and if there's anything we see here in can, it is definitely quality work from all over the world, and it's actually quite humbling and inspiring at the same time. My big takeaway and what I think might be missing is making sure we're trying to make people feel something about our brand. It's the most powerful thing you could do, I think, to move someone towards your products. And I think the balance of let's get everything done and let's get everything out there with are we making something of quality that's really going to create a consumer emotion and connect is something I'll be taking back to my team and something that I think is missing from the market.Ilyse Liffreing (23:27):Amazing. If Jake from State Farm could pop up anywhere next with zero constraints, where would you send him?Patty Morris (23:35):I would send him to my family reunion. So they will stop asking to meet Jake from State Farm. I get the question all the time, and yeah, everybody wants to meet Jake, which I love. Or you know what? Maybe I would send her to the future so he could tell us how all this is going toIlyse Liffreing (23:54):ShakePatty Morris (23:54):Out. That'd be pretty cool. Very cool. That'd be awesome.Damian Fowler (24:00):And that's it for this edition of The Big Impression.Ilyse Liffreing (24:03):This show is produced by Molten Hart.

In honor of five years of Clotheshorse, Amanda brings back the very first episode of the show (mandatory listening for any one interested in slow fashion), "Romper Drama and Useless Safety Pins, or It's a Cents Game."Before jumping into that episode, Amanda talks about what has changed over the last five years.  She explains why and how Clotheshorse has given her hope and joy in dark times.  And she also gives a little minisode on tariffs (and why they won't "fix" fast fashion).If you've loved listening to Clotheshorse, give the podcast the ultimate gift by leaving a rating and a review on your favorite streaming platform!

Would you be surprised to hear that your favorite shoe brand is neither family-owned nor as punk as it portrays itself to be?Did you know that wealth inequality and shoes are directly connected? Could your latest shoe purchase be subsidizing lobbying efforts to fight a rise in the minimum wage or reduce taxes for the wealthiest people?Amanda is joined by Ariel, the founder of Cobbled Goods to talk about how shoes, wealth inequality, and politics are entangled.  He will introduce us to his Billionaire Boycott List.  In this episode, we will also cover the following topics:The environmental and ethical impacts of shoe productionCommon greenwashing tropes used by the shoe industryWho really owns a lot of the shoe companies that we might think of "heritage" brands or "countercultural"How you can make better decisions when shopping for a new pair of shoesAnd how where, when, and how often you shop are political decisions!And guess what? Ariel has a reading list for you:Wealth Supremacy: How the Extractive Economy and the Biased Rules of Capitalism Drive Today's CrisesOne of my favourite books, written by Marjorie Kelly. She really has her finger on the heart of the issue. I'd recommend listeners start by checking out her podcast interviews. I also have to add my first encounter with her work, which rocked my world — The Architecture of Enterprise: Redesigning Ownership for a Great Transition.Foot Work: What Your Shoes Tell You About GlobalisationAn incredible first-person look into shoe production around the world. Tansy Hoskins also has a great newsletter.Imagining a Decentralised Footwear Industry at the Global Fashioning AssemblyI didn't mention this but I hosted a speculative fiction workshop last fall with Tansy and few other footwear founders where everyone shared their ideas on what the industry would look like in a world with big businesses. It ties in nicely with our conversation and the boycott list.Dispatches: The truth about Nike and AdidasThe Channel 4 investigation into recycled ocean plastic. I actually confused Nike and Adidas on the episode. Both brands are covered but the ocean plastic bit was about Adidas. The original broadcast is not available on demand: But there is an article with part of the video here: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-10821693/Channel-4s-Dispatches-reveals-greenwashing-trainer-brands.html License to Greenwash: How certification schemes and voluntary initiatives are fueling fossil fashionA very compelling report on greenwashing through certifications and standards. I alluded to it a bit with the HIGG index, but I meant to dive deeper because it is highly prevalent.Money Heist: COVID-19 Wage Theft in Global Garment Supply ChainsA report on how big brands dodge accountability to the workers making their products. It gives estimates on how many millions of dollars different brands owe the workers that were laid off without severance due to their cancelled orders during Covid.Nowhere to Hide: How the Fashion Industry Is Linked to Amazon Rainforest DestructionA thorough report mapping out leather supply chains connected to Amazon deforestation.ALSO: get your tickets for Clotheshorse LIVE!10/23  Seattle, WA @ Here-After10/26  Portland, OR @ HoloceneGet your Clotheshorse merch here: https://clotheshorsepodcast.com/shop/If you want to share your opinion/additional thoughts on the subjects we cover in each episode, feel free to email, whether it's a typed out message or an audio recording:  amanda@clotheshorse.worldDid you enjoy this episode?

This week you are going to meet Molly and Jane of Content Queen, a two-person Bay Area-based zine publisher. And we are going to talk about all kinds of very hot topics (including literally Hot Topic):Why do Jane and Molly make physical zines rather than virtual/online content in 2025? The answer is important and might get you thinking…How has the kind of “content” we consume (especially the content we READ) changed in the social media era?Two of Content Queen's zines that are explicitly fashion-related:  Stressful, Awkward, Envied: ‘90s and ‘00s Brands From Those Who Wore the Clothes, Worked the Registers, and Modeled for the Catalogs AND Wendy's World, “an immersion into the early-'90s downtown New York world of the ultimate cult indie fashion label, Built by Wendy.”Along the way Molly and Jane will tell us what it's like to vend at a zine fair in 2025 (and why it's different than it used to be).  And we'll wrap it all up by making our trend predictions.  Amanda gets things started with explaining why something as simple as reading is a radical act of resistance in 2025 (and why we need to protect books and libraries).Go order and read Molly and Jane's zines so we can talk about them: contentqueenzine.comFind them on IG: @contentqueenzineJOIN AMANDA FOR THE CLOTHESHORSE BIRTHDAY CRAFTERNOON ON JULY 20!Additional reading:"It's so boring': Gen Z parents don't like reading to their kids - and educators are worried," Alaina Demopoulos, The Guardian."The Elite College Students Who Can't Read Books," Rose Horowitch, The Atlantic.Banned and Challenged Books dashboard, American Library Association.Get your Clotheshorse merch here: https://clotheshorsepodcast.com/shop/If you want to share your opinion/additional thoughts on the subjects we cover in each episode, feel free to email, whether it's a typed out message or an audio recording:  amanda@clotheshorse.worldDid you enjoy this episode?

[This episode originally aired on June 6, 2023]  There are many ways to look at the connection between spirituality and our everyday lives  •  in the Buddhist tradition, the basic components are very simple and straightforward: they are wisdom, compassion, and effective action  •  an image that  illustrates how theses three components work together is that of a wheel — a wheel with a hub, spokes, and a rim  •  the hub at the center connects the wheel to the energy source; it distributes that energy through the spokes to the rim  •  in terms of the Buddhist path, that hub involves working with the mind   •  the cultivation of mindfulness and awareness is central; everything that happens revolves around that central hub  •  the spokes of the wheel point to the skills and qualities we need in order to cultivate compassion action  •  the rim is the  point of contact with the grittiness of the road  •  this wheel is not up in the sky somewhere; it is connected with the ground of ordinary living, with the challenges and struggles of everyday life. 

No need to reinvent the wheel. Sometimes, you just need to add a spoke!

In this episode we discuss ZIPPs new product range, ask why ZIPP have not moved to carbon spokes, challenge them in their seemingly outdates rim widths and discuss the future of tire and wheel development. Huge thanks for Nathan from ZIPP for his time.

Steal spokes are the rage, sp we chat about our own expense riding them and whether they are worth the hype. Chris is riding Shallow rims and loving them. The Colnago V5RS disappoints, so we announce our One Bike To Do It All Tier list.

Hollywood's Headlines for Thursday! Did Bo lose millions on his bike spokes? Happy Gilmore 2, so sad?! Somebody pretended to be Joe and stole earrings?!

Despair. Apathy. Not believing that things can change and be better. Just fully discounting any possibility of progress.  Have you struggled with these feelings? It's called doomerism and you're not wrong for feeling that way.  In this week's episode, Amanda talks all about doomerism (and how to fight it off):Amanda shares what she learned on her desert road trip in search of optimism, with stops at National Parks and more than one geodesic domes.She will share her advice (gained through experience and lots of reading about this topic) for saving yourself from doomerism, while also building up your strength and energy to keep fighting the good fight.And she'll talk about why she is staying on social media.LINKS LINKS LINKSMontezuma Castle National MonumentArcosantiBiosphere 2Photos from Amanda's visit to Biosphere 2Spaceship Earth (documentary about Biosphere 2)Hotel McCoySaguaro National ParkAd Fontes Media Bias ChartJoin the conversation on the Clotheshorse Slack!

In the final episode of 2024, Amanda is inspired by a conversation with her friend Janelle to explore board games that teach children (and adults) the “winner takes all” aspect of late stage capitalism and/or reinforce the message that success=stuff.We'll take a journey through the history of board games, with a deep dive into the Game of Life.We'll check out the shopping focused games of the 1980s and 90s, including Mall Madness.We will touch on some other games that just seem agonizing for adults to play, like Payday (too real).And we'll explore the origin story of Monopoly, along with all of the other games that (accidentally or otherwise) seem to reinforce dumb ideas like the bootstrap myth.Amanda also talks about what a "no buy year" means to her (and somehow ties into board games, because why not).This episode also includes an audio essay from Eleisha of SHIFT, a refillery in Narberth, PA.

Today I have a guest on the show and I am talking to Lauren Spokes. Lauren is a passionate food advocate, product sourcing consultant, and mental health advocate, with a personal journey in eating disorder recovery that deeply informs her work. Originally from South Africa, Lauren moved to the UK at 18, where she built a successful career in food sourcing, consulting for leading retailers and brands. Despite her professional success, Lauren struggled with an eating disorder for over six years, which prevented her from fully embracing her love for food. After her own journey of recovery, she found healing and clarity in her ultimate passion—helping others. Lauren now uses her platform, including her food Instagram, to raise awareness about eating disorders, promote food freedom, and share delicious, nourishing recipes. Her mission is to empower others to cultivate a healthy relationship with food while celebrating the joy and creativity that food can bring. Through both her consulting work and advocacy, Lauren is dedicated to helping people live in harmony with food and to supporting retailers in offering products that align with both consumer needs and ethical standards. In today's episode, Lauren talks about her eating disorder recovery journey. She focuses on how she struggled to accept that she had an eating disorder for 5 years before seeking help. She talks ambivalence around change and an eating disorder as a coping strategy. Lauren shares the importance of acceptance with the eating disorder recovery journey and seeking help from others. She explores the costs of the eating disorder and her family's concerns. She shares her journey in overcoming the eating disorder and now having been fully recovered for two years. This is an inspiring conversation about what is possible in recovery. I hope that you find it helpful.   To find out more about Lauren: - Instagram: @bespokesfood   This week's sponsors: - CHATPODS: Love the insights from this episode?

They call themselves a drinking club with a cycling problem, and while they may enjoy gathering for beers post ride, the Manitou Spokes is a club full of heart and a passion for their Manitou Springs community and fellow cyclists.  The club began in 2009 and meets Tuesdays at 5pm from the start of daylight savings in May to the end in October, the Manitou Spokes offers 3 ride options each week: a Flat & Friendly Road Ride, a Hot & Hilly Road Ride and a Mountain Bike Ride, the Trail Trekkers. Following the rides, they rejoin to drink and dine together and support a different local brewery or bar. While you might find photos on Facebook, this group is only social in person, there is no website. The main way to connect with the Manitou Spokes is by showing up and getting on their email list. They meet from the back of the Buffalo Lodge Bicycle Resort on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of each month and an alternate location (disclosed in the club email) on 1st and 5th Tuesdays.   It was a lively multi-generational gathering of guests for our interview and very representative of the variety of ages and abilities in the club. We enjoyed sipping some great Colorado local beer during the show as is fitting with the club, although one rider pointed out you don't have to drink to fit in.

MPR News is following dozens of Minnesota athletes who are competing in the Paris Olympics for Team USA and other countries. But there are stories of Minnesotans contributing to the games in other ways. In this week's mountain biking finals, French cyclist Pauline Ferrand Prévot won her first gold medal with an extraordinary lead of nearly 3 minutes. British cyclist Tom Pidcock got a flat tire halfway through the race and came back to win gold. South African Alan Hatherly won bronze. These were three of the six Olympic riders using bicycle spokes by Hopkins-based company Berd Spokes, which was founded by three engineers and University of Minnesota graduates. Co-founder Charlie Spanjers spoke with MPR News producer Alanna Elder from Paris, where he watched the events.

In our latest podcast episode entitled "Stages, Screens, & Spokes: Journeys with the Multifaceted Artist," we had the pleasure of interviewing the incredibly talented Katherine King. Katherine is a true polymath, excelling as an actress, playwright, screenwriter, singer-songwriter, and now, an award-winning film director. Here's a recap of our engaging discussion. A Multifaceted Talent Katherine King's artistic journey is nothing short of remarkable. Hailing from Santa Monica, California, Katherine has made significant strides in various creative fields. She has acted in numerous commercials, print ads, and films, including Disney's "Boyster" and feature films like "An Axe to Grind" and "The Downside of Bliss." As a playwright, she has written five full-length plays, four of which were showcased at the Hollywood Fringe Festival. Her short play, "Future Wives," was featured at the Hollywood Short and Sweet Festival. Katherine's directorial debut, "The Delicate Cycle," premiered at the Chandler Film Festival and won Best Short Film. From Page to Stage to Screen Katherine's transition from stage to screen was a natural progression. She shared with us how her background in theater helped shape her approach to filmmaking. "I've always had a strong vision when writing," she explained. "Directing allowed me to bring that vision to life in a new and exciting way." Katherine's first film, "The Delicate Cycle," tells the heartwarming story of a boy and a man who form an unlikely friendship in a laundromat. The film's exploration of human connections and emotional resilience resonated with audiences and critics alike. Crafting Authentic Stories A key theme in our conversation was Katherine's dedication to authenticity in storytelling. She emphasized the importance of listening and observing to create genuine characters. "I'm fascinated by people who are different from me," she said. "This curiosity drives my writing and helps me create characters that feel real." Katherine's keen eye for detail and her ability to capture the nuances of human behavior shine through in her work, making her stories relatable and impactful. The Delicate Cycle: A Labor of Love Katherine's passion for her craft was evident as she discussed the making of "The Delicate Cycle." Filming in a laundromat, a location she passed daily on her bike rides, added a layer of authenticity to the project. Despite the challenges of indie filmmaking, Katherine assembled a talented team and created a film that has earned numerous accolades. The film's success at the Chandler Film Festival and subsequent awards, including Best Comedy Film and Best Original Story, are a testament to her dedication and vision. Looking Ahead: Rickshaw Romance Katherine's creative pursuits don't stop at filmmaking. She gave us a sneak peek into her upcoming reality show, "Rickshaw Romance." The show will feature blind dates taking place on pedicabs, offering a unique and intimate setting for couples to connect. Katherine's experience as a pedicab driver inspired the concept, and she believes it will bring a fresh perspective to the world of dating shows. "It's about bringing people together in real life without the distractions of technology," she explained. Kerine King's journey is a testament to the power of creativity and perseverance. Her ability to excel in multiple artistic disciplines and her commitment to telling authentic stories make her a force to be reckoned with in the entertainment industry. ============= Submit Your Film to Our Film Collective: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ifapfilmcollective.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect With Floyd Marshall Jr: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠instagram.com/floydmarshalljr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠tiktok.com/@floydmarshalljr0⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aconversationwithfm/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aconversationwithfm/support

What happens when you meet someone new, someone who might be talking with other agents and trying to decide who to represent them when buying or selling real estate?  What if their spouse also has someone in mind?  How can you more easily win their trust and earn their business?

REAL ESTATE LEADS, LEADS and more LEADS: Question: What is Tim and Julie Harris's favorite PROBATE LEAD PROVIDER? Simple, https://alltheleads.com/harris -Are you getting signed listing and buyer contracts at least 90% of the time? -Are your presentations exactly like everyone else's at your company? -Do your presentations specifically answer, 'why should I hire you versus another agent, or versus not using an agent at all?' If you answered YES to all 5 questions, then you should be able to list between one house per month and one house per week, no problem.  (Assuming you know how to lead generate, and that will be a future point!) If you answered NO to any of these questions, it's time to upgrade your presentations.  Get help with this by joining Premier Coaching today for free. 2.     Upgrade your Lead Generation.   -Are you predictably generating the amount of leads it takes to meet or exceed your monthly income goals? -Do you understand and follow the Spokes in the Wheel model and are you actively working on each spoke well enough that you're getting results? -Do you feel like you're in control of your lead generation? 3.     Upgrade the look and feel of all of your marketing and presentation materials.  Do you have the same, professional and authentic picture, logo, and colors on all of your assets both online and off?  Do you look like the same agent on every item?  Does it look professional enough that someone with a home to sell that's double your average sale price would hire you? 4.     Upgrade how you present yourself.  Refer to the chapter about upgrading everything in our best-selling book, 'Harris Rules' to work on many specific things.  Start with your wardrobe, haircut, glasses, shoes, nails, purse and/or briefcase.  Maybe it's also time to upgrade from your iPhone 5 and your AOL account!   5.     Upgrade your coaching. -If you're already in Premier Coaching and you're ready for the next level, upgrade to Elite Coaching. -If you're in a different program but you're not getting the results you signed up for, upgrade to Premier Coaching and become part of our coaching family for free today.
