Every productivity guru will tell you the same thing: set realistic goals, or you're setting yourself up to fail. Jia Jiang did the opposite. He told the internet he'd sell 10,000 copies of his new book in 100 days, sold about 3,000, and is now going around calling it one of the best things he's ever done. He's not being delusional about it either. He'll tell you straight up that part of him wishes he'd hit the number. He just thinks failing loudly beats succeeding quietly, which might explain why only 9% of people who make a New Year's resolution actually stick to it. Most of us are setting goals to feel good for five minutes, not because we've figured out how to actually get there. In this episode, I sit down with Jia Jiang, the entrepreneur and speaker behind 100 Days of Rejection, a YouTube experiment that became a TED Talk with more than 10 million views. We talk about his new book, Easy Discipline, and how he turns huge, terrifying goals into something he can actually control day to day. If you have ever downgraded a goal so you wouldn't have to feel bad about missing it, Jia is about to make you rethink that entirely. Jia and I discuss: Why Jia deliberately sets goals so ambitious he is likely to miss them, and why a public near miss beats a comfortable target The one action goal: how to turn a big, uncontrollable ambition into a daily input you can fully control The inspiration index, the two numbers Jia tracks on every project, and why you need both the outcome and the input The Mover's Manual, and how changing his physical environment lets Jia get three to ten times more done in an afternoon Reverse AI: what happened when Jia started deliberately training himself the way AI models are trained The letter he wrote to Steven Bartlett after being turned down for Diary of a CEO, and why he published it anyway Key quotes "I'd rather fail my ambition publicly than letting it die inside privately." "When you are already rejected, you have nothing to lose. When you have nothing to lose, you have nothing to fear."

Cameron Diaz became a mother again at 53, and a new UC Davis study found something bigger: 48 of 54 products labeled "pure avocado oil," including 100% of the salad dressings tested, aren't what the label says. Chalene Johnson breaks down the age double standard behind Diaz and husband Benji's third child, names the "small founder" brands caught in the avocado oil test (Siete, Primal Kitchen, Boulder Canyon, Kettle Brand), and reveals who actually owns them now: Pepsi, Kraft Heinz, Utz, and Campbell's.

"If you want to know what life's like when you're not the apex of intelligence, ask a chicken."That's the line that Geoffrey Hinton, the Nobel Prize-winning "Godfather of AI" dropped on Steven Bartlett's podcast. It stopped Cal cold. Along with a lot of other people. One of them was a digital anthropologist and best-selling author named Brian Solis, who's spent decades watching technology unfold. To Solis, Hinton's statement felt in the moment like we had reached The End. But when Cal caught up with Brian a year later, he found that the anthropologist had adapted and made a case for what's possible. It's all in the book he co-wrote with Dave Wright that's titled: Infinite. Cal's conversation with Brian did something he never expected. It made him think about himself, for the first time, as a leader. Stay tuned . . .
One of the biggest pieces of advice you'll hear as a founder is to find a gap in the market. But what if the real opportunity isn't finding a gap at all, it's solving a problem you've experienced yourself?After more than a decade in the wine industry, Bethan Higson became frustrated by the alcohol-free options available during her first pregnancy. Rather than trying to recreate wine or spirits, she wanted to create something entirely different: a drink that delivered the same complexity, ritual and sense of occasion. Two years of experimenting at her kitchen table led to Mother Root, a fiery non-alcoholic aperitif made using ginger and apple cider vinegar. Today, Mother Root is the UK's fastest-growing drinks brand and has rapidly expanded from a direct-to-consumer start-up into major retailers, while scaling even faster in the US than in its home market. In this episode, Bethan shares what it was really like appearing on Dragons' Den, how she secured investment offers from three Dragons, why she ultimately chose Steven Bartlett, and why the deal never completed. We also explore category creation, hiring exceptional people, building momentum with retailers, preparing for explosive growth, and why saying no is one of the most important skills any founder can develop.Bethan's Advice:Build your business around solving a genuine customer problem, rather than chasing a growing market.Adopt a test-and-learn mindset to make faster decisions and reduce the pressure of getting everything right first time.Prepare for success as much as failure by building the systems and team you'll need to handle growth.Hire people whose strengths complement your own, and don't hesitate when you find exceptional talent.Prioritisation is fundamental, stay focused on the opportunities that genuinely move the needle.Learn to say no to those opportunities which won't further your business in the long term - but do it respectfully.Chapters(00:00) Why finding a gap isn't enough (01:10) Meet Bethan Higson & Mother Root (02:00) Building a business around a real customer problem (05:00) Convincing retailers to back a new category (07:15) Turning a kitchen-table idea into a business (10:00) Founder fears, boundaries & obsession (14:00) Behind the scenes of Dragons' Den (19:15) Choosing Steven Bartlett as an investor (22:00) Preparing your business for explosive growth (26:00) Scaling Mother Root in the UK & US (28:00) Why every founder should "test and learn" (29:30) Hiring exceptional people (30:30) Why saying no is a founder's superpower (32:00) Finding the right COO & business partner (34:00) Bethan's question for the next guestFF&M enables you to own your own PR & produces podcasts.https://www.fallowfieldmason.comRecorded, edited & published by Juliet Fallowfield, MD & Founder of PR & Communications consultancy for startups Fallow, Field & Mason.Email us at hello@fallowfieldmason.com or DM us on Instagram @fallowfieldmason.MUSIC CREDIT: Funk Game Loop by Kevin MacLeod.Text us your questions for future founders.

Efficient language is necessary in high stress situations, so why shouldn't you create your own language within your own program? In today's "Win The Season" podcast, we dive into creating a program language, the elimination of confusion and I throw out some examples of my coaching career where we tried to use a common language. In addition, we've got a great quote from Steven Bartlett, and a study of perhaps the greatest modern college basketball coach, the one they call "K" . . .
I sat down with Ash Jones, Steven Bartlett's first-ever personal brand manager (and first person to ever have the title), founder of one of the UK's first personal branding agencies and my good friend, to talk about the real cost of staying quiet when it comes to personal branding for you and the people in your team. We get into why you can't outsource your voice, the side doors that quietly open careers, why AI slop will never beat the cream that rises to the top, and the £17.8m question every leadership team should be asking itself right now.
"A personal brand is not you posting cocktails on holiday." That's the opening jab in round five of Brand of the Match. This week's fight: who's the true champion of personal brand.Personal brand is the intentional building of an individual's profile to drive a business, career or commercial outcome, not just having a reputation or a following. In the fifth episode of Brand of the Match, Lottie and Joel put personal brand under the microscope, from Emma Grede's step into the limelight to promote her book after decades building brands behind the scenes, to Grace Beverly's radical transparency around motherhood, to SheerLuxe's internal agency model that turned staff into influencers and sold the business for a reported £40 million. Along the way they cover PerfectTed's LinkedIn culture and its Steven Bartlett origin story, Currys' employee generated content and the fallout between Dr Miami and a former employee over incentives and credit.By full time, there's only one winner.

While modern business gurus like Steven Bartlett and Elon Musk emphasize extending time horizons from 5 to 50 years to build durable, multi-generational companies, they are still only scratching the surface. In this episode, we explore how the principles of long-term thinking, foundational architecture, and building "durable moats" in business directly parallel the teachings of Jesus and the Scriptures. If extending your time horizon changes the way you construct a business, extending it to eternity should fundamentally transform how you structure your entire life. Discover why worldly success without an eternal foundation is an unstable build, and how you can stop, reset, and anchor your soul on bedrock.--The PursueGOD Truth podcast is the “easy button” for making disciples – whether you're looking for resources to lead a family devotional, a small group at church, or a one-on-one mentoring relationship.

Email us at podcast@pursueGOD.org.Donate Now--To entrepreneurs today, Jesus would say that true success requires extending your time horizon beyond temporal wealth to eternity by building your life on the solid foundation of His teachings. While modern business strategy emphasizes long-term planning to create lasting value, Jesus challenges business leaders to consider the state of their eternal souls. Real security comes from trusting in God rather than unreliable riches, storing up heavenly treasure, and living with an eternal perspective.The Problem with Short-Term ThinkingModern business culture preaches the power of long-term vision. Consultants and top executives encourage founders to look past five-year exit strategies and plan for fifty-year horizons to build durable companies. Extended timeframes naturally demand stronger foundational decisions. Yet, from a biblical standpoint, even a fifty-year business strategy remains dangerously short-sighted.Jesus addressed the trap of temporal focus when He posed a fundamental question to His followers.Mark 8:36-37 And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul?Many driven professionals achieve massive financial success while inadvertently sacrificing their marriages, families, and spiritual well-being. They focus entirely on temporal outcomes while ignoring eternal realities. The Bible teaches that every human being will live forever somewhere. Consequently, evaluating life solely through the lens of earthly achievements ignores our ultimate destiny. God calls us to expand our planning far beyond a decade or a career.Riches Are Unreliable FoundationsBuilding a life on wealth creates a fragile structure that cannot withstand the storms of life or the reality of eternity. Money itself is not evil, but placing your trust in it creates a dangerous spiritual trap. Wealth offers a false sense of security that quickly evaporates when facing loss, tragedy, or death.The apostle Paul provided clear instructions for those who experience financial success, highlighting where true confidence belongs.1 Timothy 6:17-19 Teach those who are rich in this world not to be proud and not to trust in their money, which is so unreliable. Their trust should be in God, who richly gives us all we need for our enjoyment. Tell them to use their money to do good. They should be rich in good works and generous to those in need, always being ready to share with others. By doing this, they will be storing up their treasure as a good foundation for the future so that they may experience true life.Paul does not condemn money; rather, he warns against trusting in its stability. When business leaders redirect their resources toward generosity and good works, they shift their investments into an infrastructure that lasts. True life is found not in accumulating capital, but in knowing and serving the God who generously provides.The Danger of Storing Up Earthly WealthJesus frequently warned His listeners about the spiritual blindness caused by materialism. In a culture driven by net worth and asset accumulation, His warnings hit home for high achievers. He told a parable about a successful farmer who produced a bumper crop and decided to tear down his barns to build bigger ones so he could relax for decades.Luke 12:20-21 But God said to him, "You fool! You will die this very night. Then who will get everything you worked for?" Yes, a person is a fool to store up earthly wealth but not have a rich relationship with God.Jesus called this successful manager a fool not because he was good at business, but because he was completely unprepared for eternity. He planned for early retirement while neglecting his relationship with God. When we invest all our energy, time, and talent into temporary ventures, our hearts naturally follow those investments.Matthew 6:19-21 Don't store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.Aligning your desires with God's kingdom protects you from placing supreme value on things that will eventually decay.Rebuilding on the Ultimate RockBuilding a high-rise building requires digging a deep foundation. If you try to add extra floors to a building constructed on a weak base, the entire structure eventually collapses under stress. Many professionals reach a plateau or experience a crisis because they attempted to build a massive life on a weak base.Jesus concluded His Sermon on the Mount by contrasting two types of builders.Matthew 7:24-27 Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. Though the rains come in torrents and the flood waters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won't collapse because it's built on bedrock. But anyone who hears my teaching and doesn't obey is foolish, like a person who builds a house on sand. When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house, it will collapse with a mighty crash.The storms of life test every life and career. When difficulty strikes, only a life built on obedience to Christ stands firm. Rebuilding your life on Jesus requires taking a step back, repenting of self-reliance, and allowing Him to transform your priorities from the ground up.The apostle Paul reinforced this truth when evaluating our lifelong work.1 Corinthians 3:11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one we already have—Jesus Christ.Every achievement, business venture, and earthly status symbol will one day pass through the testing fire of God's judgment. Works driven by pride and temporal greed will burn away, but efforts built on faith, obedience, and love for Christ will yield eternal rewards.The TakeawayTo entrepreneurs today, Jesus offers a loving warning and a call to true wisdom. Achieving market success means very little if you lose your eternal soul in the process. While business strategies require vision, your ultimate focus belongs on eternity. Reevaluate your priorities today, ensure your confidence rests in Christ rather than your wealth, and rebuild your life on the rock of His Word.

A former OpenAI researcher went on Diary of a CEO and said there's a 70% chance AI ends badly for humanity, told his wife they shouldn't have more children because they'd never enter the workforce, and gave up $2 million by refusing to sign a non-disparagement clause to say it publicly. Joe asks Paula Pant, OG, and Jesse Cramer to react -- not as AI experts, but as people who've watched the internet, robots, computers, and cars all supposedly end the economy, and as people who actually know what to do with your money when the world feels uncertain.What You'll Walk Away WithPaula's case for being a negative 10 on the worry scale: why 60% of jobs that exist today didn't exist in 1940, and why AI is more likely to create new categories of work than eliminate work entirelyJesse's case for a four: why knowledge is being commoditized the same way gasoline was -- and what that means if your competitive advantage has always been what you knowOG's framework for separating the parts of your job AI will gladly take from the parts it never will -- and why that distinction is more useful than panicking about either halfThe Jevons Paradox: why making something cheaper almost always creates more demand for it, not less -- and why that applies to patents, legal filings, and every other knowledge-work category people think AI will eliminateSafe, evolving, or replaced: the roundtable verdict on CPAs, software engineers, and customer service reps -- and the Capital One research that reveals why some people actually prefer talking to a machineWhy learning the AI tools right now -- even if you're 58 and four years from retirement -- is the modern equivalent of learning email in 1993JL Collins' line that applies to careers just as much as portfolios: flexibility is the only true securityShould you buy an AI sector fund? OG, Paula, and Jesse each answer -- and the answer that surprised everyone is probably not the one you'd expectWhy OG's Triple Bypass bike race analogy is the best career advice in the episode: if you're always ready, you never have to get readyThe window tax trivia that AI got spectacularly wrong -- proving, on an episode about AI taking all our jobs, that it can't even count windows yetWhy This Matters NowThe fear is real. The timeline is uncertain. And the people most likely to be okay are the ones who are building flexibility into their finances and their careers right now -- not because AI is definitely coming, but because it's always smart to be ready for the thing that might come.From the BasementPaula Pant, OG, and Jesse Cramer react to a former OpenAI researcher's apocalyptic Diary of a CEO interview -- and spend most of the episode arguing about whether to panic, which jobs survive, whether to buy the AI sector fund, and what OG's fighting robot would do to Jesse's house. Doug arrives with window tax trivia that AI generated incorrectly -- which Joe caught just before air -- and handing one of our contributors a huge win.

Piers Morgan last interviewed him a couple of years ago - after which a surprising number of people commented that Jocko should run for President.

In Episode 674 of the New Media Show, Podcast Hall of Fame Host Rob Greenlee welcomes Rox Codes, CEO and co-founder of Flightcast.com. For a deep conversation about video-first podcasting, YouTube growth, AI-powered analytics, creator tools, and where podcast publishing is heading next. Rox Codes has spent years building tools for creators, including YouTube optimization, thumbnail and title creation, A/B testing, and creator growth systems. Flightcast was co-founded with Steven Bartlett of The Diary of a CEO. Rox is building a platform centered on a core shift in the market: serious shows are no longer just audio-first with a bonus video version. Many of the fastest-moving creators now think about YouTube first, then audio, clips, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, newsletters, social platforms, and every other surface where the audience may discover the show. Has video-first podcasting fully arrived, and is it now equal to audio, or is it becoming even more important for growth? Rox explains that Flightcast came from a very different starting point than traditional podcast hosting. Instead of beginning with RSS, downloads, and audio workflow, the platform was built from a YouTube creator mindset. YouTube has long been the clearest growth platform for creators because it combines publishing, discovery, audience development, monetization, and measurable performance into a single system. Podcasting, by contrast, has often separated those pieces across hosting platforms, apps, ad systems, analytics dashboards, and RSS-based distribution. The episode explores why this matters now. A modern show can become a long-form YouTube episode, an audio podcast, Spotify video, Apple video, short-form clips, newsletter content, social posts, community discussion, and brand inventory. Rox describes podcasts as a powerful format because a single strong two-hour conversation can yield many different media assets across multiple platforms. That creates opportunity, but it also creates complexity. They discuss Apple's HLS video support, Spotify video, YouTube, RSS, 4K video, thumbnails in feeds, Netflix, Roku, FAST channels, Prime Video, and the growing need for creators to publish into more places without needing to understand every technical layer underneath. Rox argues that creators should not have to care about acronyms like HLS, VAST, RSS, or 301 redirects unless the technology directly affects their business. The software should handle the complexity so creators can focus on the show, the audience, and the growth strategy. A major theme of the episode is that video success is not just about uploading an MP4 file. Rox makes a strong case that the real shift is in mindset. On YouTube, titles, thumbnails, intros, pacing, retention, curiosity gaps, promise, progress, payoff, packaging, and audience behavior all matter. Podcasting has historically treated episode art and titles as secondary. YouTube treats them as the front door to the content. Rob and Rox spend significant time on thumbnails and titles, including why creators need to understand the psychology behind a click without reducing the work to empty clickbait. Rox explains that a thumbnail should create a question the viewer wants answered, while the episode itself must deliver enough value to earn attention and retention. The best creators do not copy blindly. They study what works, understand why it works, and apply that structure in their own voice, to their audience, and through their creative point of view. The conversation also moves into AI. Rox does not describe Flightcast as an AI-first platform, but AI is an important layer inside the system. He sees major value in AI analytics, back-catalog analysis, clip testing, title suggestions, descriptions, chapters, transcripts, and pattern recognition. His larger ambition is to bake more of the YouTube strategist and producer mindset directly into the software so creators can see what is working, what is not working, and where new growth opportunities may exist. Rob and Rox also discuss monetization. As video moves deeper into podcast platforms, host-read ads, dynamic ad insertion, video ad formats, brand partnerships, affiliate models, and creator-controlled advertising may begin to converge. Rox explains Flightcast's ability to support programmatic, dynamic sponsorships and bring-your-own-programmatic monetization, while keeping the platform focused on growth and creator support rather than solely on ad sales. The episode closes with a look at the future of podcast hosting itself. Rox argues that basic hosting has become a commodity. The next layer is growth, analytics, experimentation, distribution, monetization support, and creator intelligence. In a world where AI can make software easier to build and copy, the real advantage may come from insight, speed, taste, data interpretation, and the ability to help serious creators make better decisions faster. For creators, publishers, networks, and podcast platforms, Episode 674 is a clear look at the next stage of podcasting: video-first, data-aware, AI-supported, YouTube-influenced, and increasingly built around shows that can travel everywhere.

Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? Ashley Stahl shares that the hardest thing about growing a small business is managing your energy. She explains that there are days when you work incredibly hard and wonder how you'll do it all again tomorrow, but what keeps her going is her deep belief in Wise Whisper Agency, the impact it has on helping people craft powerful talks, and the mission of getting their ideas onto major stages, including TEDx. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Ashley Stahl shares that it's been a while since she read a traditional business book, but if she had to name one influence, she would point to Alex Hormozi's work. She says she loves his approach because it's "all protein and no fat," meaning he gets straight to the tactical, practical advice without unnecessary fluff, and she finds that direct, actionable style especially valuable for building and growing a business. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Ashley Stahl shares that one of her favorite podcasts for professional development is Diary of a CEO. She says host Steven Bartlett does an excellent job interviewing remarkable people and exploring topics with a level of depth that many other shows don't, making it a valuable resource for entrepreneurs and anyone looking to grow a small business. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Ashley Stahl shares that the one tool she would most strongly recommend for growing a small business is paid advertising. She believes that many entrepreneurs are held back by fear of running ads, but once you learn how to use them effectively, paid ads can become a powerful and scalable way to consistently attract leads, grow revenue, and expand your business. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? Ashley Stahl shares that if she could go back to day one of starting out in business, she would tell herself that the journey will become much bigger than she ever imagined. She says that building a business is about far more than making money or helping people; it's ultimately a path of personal growth that teaches you how capable, resilient, and powerful you truly are.

This Episode brings together the most powerful ideas from Alex Hormozi, Chris Williamson, and Steven Bartlett in one long-form, transformative edit. It covers the truth about overnight success, the lonely chapter every ambitious person goes through, why consistency beats talent, why the work you do when no one is watching matters most, and why success becomes the only real revenge. You will hear about the valley of despair, the pottery-class lesson of volume over perfection, the 22-year-old advantage of energy and nothing to lose, why you cannot fit in and be exceptional at the same time, why the bar for winning is now lower than ever, and why hard seasons are a signal that you are on the right path. These ideas have become central topics in modern self-improvement because they cut through excuses and push you toward action, discipline, and long-term thinking.Instagram - @daily_motivationsorgFacebook- @daily_motivationsorg

In episode 80, JK describes starting a 30-day no-complaining challenge after noticing how easy it is to “cosign” others' complaints, and he's traveling to Omaha for a 14U baseball tournament and a College World Series game, while Kelly is traveling to Chicago, increasing running volume, lifting twice, and monitoring a heel issue that's improving. They then talk about “health maxing,” reacting to a resurfaced Diary of a CEO clip where Steven Bartlett said three glasses of wine led to worse sleep, eating, gym performance, and podcasting for days, debating wearables, optimization culture, and checking in with yourself before device metrics.00:00 Cold Open and Intro00:33 Today's Topics Preview01:26 Kelly's Chicago Update05:06 JK's No Complaining Challenge13:50 Omaha Travel Baseball Plans16:10 Courtesy Plates Gym Etiquette21:25 Health Maxing and Viral Clip25:03 Critiques of Optimization Culture28:34 Recovery Time Skepticism30:10 Bad Optimization Example34:13 Sobriety vs Fun Debate39:18 Wellness Surveillance Culture42:46 Wearables Help or Harm44:49 Metrics Anxiety in Training49:55 HRV and Zone Two Hype52:09 Actionable Takeaways55:30 Wrap Up and PlugFollow the podcast at @liftingrunninglivingpodEmail us at liftingrunninglivingpod@gmail.comFollow JK at @coachjkmcleodFollow Kelly at @runningklutz
In this episode, Ben Felix and Ben Wilson tackle a wide range of listener questions covering portfolio construction, home-country bias, currency exposure, ETF selection, retirement decumulation, leasing versus buying a car, discounted cash flow valuations, and the real work of portfolio management. Along the way, they revisit the Rational Reminder model portfolios, discuss how new products like CAGE have changed the DIY investing landscape, and explore whether Warren Buffett's long-term record still provides evidence that active management can outperform. The conversation also offers a behind-the-scenes look at PWL Capital's planning-centric approach to wealth management and why helping clients make better financial decisions often matters more than portfolio construction itself. Key Points From This Episode: (0:28) Why AMA episodes have become less frequent despite hundreds of listener questions waiting to be answered. (2:07) Ben shares observations from PWL's growing institutional investment business and why low-cost, planning-focused institutional advice remains surprisingly rare. (6:37) Revisiting the original Rational Reminder model portfolios and how newer products have simplified implementation. (10:09) Should U.S. investors underweight the U.S. market relative to global market-cap weights? (11:07) Research, home-country bias, and Ken French's arguments for overweighting domestic stocks. (18:11) Asset-allocation ETFs in retirement: Is there any benefit to separating stocks and bonds during withdrawals? (21:03) Leasing versus buying a vehicle, opportunity costs, depreciation, and convenience. (26:13) Currency exposure, RRSPs, withholding taxes, and common misconceptions about USD-denominated ETFs. (30:30) If Dimensional funds were unavailable, what would Ben choose instead? (31:26) Are there any popular ETFs investors should avoid? A look at Canada's largest ETF holdings. (38:28) Why discounted cash flow models often produce wildly different valuation estimates. (41:47) What portfolio managers at PWL actually do when they are not trying to beat the market. (45:57) Concentrated stock positions, client coaching, and helping investors make better long-term decisions. (50:02) Why financial planning questions are often portfolio management questions—and vice versa. (52:53) Helping clients navigate the transition from wealth accumulation to wealth preservation and spending. (58:06) Revisiting Berkshire Hathaway's long-term performance versus broad-market index funds. (1:02:35) The challenges of active management as assets under management grow larger.

Share Your ThoughtsWhat We Talk About in This EpisodeIn this conversation, we cover:What Flight Cast actually is (and who it's for)Why it's a video-first hosting platformHow “one upload, one dashboard” pushes your show to YouTube, Spotify, Apple, RSS, and audio platformsHow you can keep it simple or go crazy with customizationSimple upload, powerful customizationUpload one episode and:Send video to YouTube, Spotify, Apple, RSSSend audio everywhere elseSchedule different release times per platform (e.g., 6 AM audio, 8 AM YouTube)Use different titles, descriptions, and even different edits per platformUpload separate versions of the file (say “subscribe” in one, “follow” in another)Use AI to:Generate titles, descriptions, and chapters in your own styleAuto-format chapters correctly for each platformAll your stats in one placeHow Flight Cast pulls:YouTube viewsSpotify streamsRSS downloadsAnd rolls them up into a single “plays” metricAdditional analytics you get:Day-by-day performanceNew vs returning followersCross-platform uniquesBreakdown by platform, country, state, cityA built-in “giant spreadsheet” you don't have to build yourselfAudience overlap (who listens to episode A and episode B)Using the built-in AI chat to answer questions like:“Rank all my episodes on YouTube in the last 6 months by views in the first 24 hours.”“What's my 100-day average per episode?”Ads, programmatic, and retention dataHow Flight Cast handles:Geo-targetingProgrammatic adsDynamic ad slotsWhy retention graphs matter more than a single download numberHow to look at:Drop-off moments (what caused the skip?)Chapter jumps (what are people skipping to?)Rox's “favorite stat” and why views still matter most in his worldClips, test channels, and experimentationLets you “always be testing” in the backgroundHow to ramp up clips:Start with 1 clip/daySlowly increase to 2, 3, then 4 maxWhy this kind of ongoing experimentation is like treating your show as a recipe, not a statueMoving from audio to video (without losing your mind)Rox's core idea:Video isn't a file format, it's an algorithmOn YouTube, TikTok, Reels, Shorts: publishing and discovery are the same thingThe big mindset shift:Audio podcasting = small optimization games (SEO, cross-promo, ads)YouTube = “get good” at a few big levers:ThumbnailsTitlesIdeasIntrosWhy the first 30 seconds, title, and thumbnail matter so much more than most of us want to admitTalking-head video vs fancy productionWhy talking heads are NOT bad content:Joe Rogan is talking headsDiary of a CEO is talking headsWhy audio quality is still 80% of the experience even on videoWhen 4K matters (and when it doesn't):720 → 1080 is a big jump1080 → 4K is “nice to have,” not mandatoryFlight Cast's support for full 4K, including Apple HLS video, and why they built it to “respect” creators who go the extra mileWho Flight Cast is for and pricingTarget user: serious video podcasters / “intermediate plus”Why Rox calls it a “jackhammer”—powerful, but you don't always need that much powerPricing (at the time of this conversation):Starts around $50/month for everything except clipsHigher tiers ($100–$250/month) if you want more clips and higher download limitsBasic plan includes:Up to 50,000 downloads/monthFull 4K video, Apple HLS, no bandwidth chargesAround 3 TB of storage (which almost nobody hits)Learning YouTube: resources Rox recommendsApril Lynn Alter (YouTube channel)Patty Galloway (YouTube channel)Creator Hooks by Jake Thomas (newsletter)A dose of reality about YouTube and videoWe talk frankly about:People who spend days or even weeks perfecting a thumbnailThe sheer amount of time it can take to get good at YouTubeMy big point:It's okay if you don't have that timeJust understand what you're up against so you don't get discouragedMy biggest fear:People add video to an already full plateBurn out on videoThen quit podcasting entirelyI want you to set realistic expectationsBonus: For audio-only podcasters who still want better statsPodAnalyst.com – in beta with their pro plan free for nowTracks:Listening completion at 25%, 50%, 75%, etc.How long people are actually listeningTo me, that's the real “is my show any good?” metric:If people are only listening to 25% of an episode, that's a signalYou can track up to 10 keywords, share stats with team members, and export data while they're in beta.My TakeawaysHere's what I want you to remember from this episode:If you go into video, YouTube is an algorithm game, not just a file format.You don't need cinematic production; you do need:Strong audioA compelling titleA curiosity-driven thumbnailA sharp first 30 secondsTools like FlightCast can:Save you time by distributing everywhere from one uploadHelp you understand your audience by putting all your stats in one placeYou don't have to “go full YouTuber” to benefit from thinking like one.And again, if you're already overwhelmed with audio, please don't feel like you “have to” add video.

Welcome to another episode of the Data Debrief, the companion show to Driven by Data: The Podcast, where hosts Catherine Dowden-King and Kyle Winterbottom unpack Tuesday's episode, share what's been on their minds, and explore the realities of leadership, culture, and capability across the data and AI landscape.This week, Catherine and Kyle reflect on the conversation with Sarah Emerson, Group Director of Insight & Business Partnering at Howden, diving deeper into the growing importance of commercial thinking, business partnering, and the role relationships play in driving value from data.They cover:Why Sarah's background in finance and corporate strategy offers a unique perspective on data leadership, and how commercial acumen can become a powerful differentiator for leaders looking to influence organisational outcomesThe challenge of connecting data strategy to business strategy, why many organisations struggle to articulate strategic priorities clearly, and the practical ways data leaders can uncover them regardlessWhy curiosity about business value shouldn't be reserved for senior leaders, and how analysts at every level can develop a stronger understanding of commercial impactThe growing importance of business partnering as a dedicated capability, and how organisations can bridge the gap between technical teams and business stakeholders more effectivelyThe realities of operating model design, why federated approaches continue to gain traction, and the trade-offs organisations must consider when balancing proximity to the business with cost and complexitySarah's view that self-service analytics has largely failed to deliver on its original promise, and what that means for the future of data enablement and adoptionWhy understanding how business leaders are measured, incentivised, and rewarded can dramatically improve stakeholder engagement and increase adoption of data-led initiativesThe challenges of discussing performance, incentives, and accountability within organisations, and why trust and relationship-building remain critical leadership skillsThe evolving role of the Chief Data Officer, the increasing consolidation of data responsibilities back into CIO organisations, and what this shift could mean for the future of data leadershipHow AI has accelerated organisational debates around ownership, accountability, and transformation, with many businesses still determining where responsibility ultimately sitsThe emergence of broader transformation and innovation leadership roles that combine data, technology, AI, digital, and business transformation under a single mandateKyle's thought of the week: as more organisations place data leadership responsibilities back under the CIO, many of the lessons learned throughout the evolution of the CDO role risk being forgotten. The challenge now is ensuring that value creation, business engagement, and commercial impact remain at the centre of the agenda, regardless of where accountability sits.This episode explores the realities of commercial leadership in data, the importance of business partnering, and why understanding people, incentives, and organisational dynamics is often just as important as understanding data itself.

Why have wages for working Americans stagnated for decades—even as productivity, corporate profits, and the wealth of the people at the top continued to rise? The mainstream explanations are familiar: automation, globalization, education, or simply the unavoidable forces of the market—but wage stagnation was not inevitable. It was the result of policy choices. This week, we're revisiting a conversation with economists Lawrence Mishel and Josh Bivens about the decisions that reshaped the American economy, weakened worker bargaining power, and made it harder for working people to claim their share of the prosperity they helped create. As we continue sharing more about Market Humanism—the idea that markets are human-built systems shaped by rules and power—this conversation feels especially relevant. The economy we have did not emerge naturally. It was built. And that means it can be rebuilt. This episode originally aired on June 1, 2021. Josh Bivens is the chief economist at the Economic Policy Institute. His research focuses on macroeconomics, inequality, social insurance, public investment, and the economics of globalization. Larry Mishel is a distinguished fellow and former president of the Economic Policy Institute. His research focuses on labor economics, wages and income distribution, industrial relations, productivity growth, and the economics of education. Social Media: @joshbivens-econ.bsky.social @joshbivens_DC @larrymishel.bsky.social @LarryMishel Watch Nick on The Diary of a CEO Nick recently joined Steven Bartlett and entrepreneur Daniel Priestley for a wide-ranging debate about the wealth divide, stagnant wages, artificial intelligence, and whether capitalism can still deliver broadly shared prosperity.

Has Steven Bartlett inadvertently started the World War One of podcasting? Will Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce get married in Madison Square Garden? And why is America's biggest news show having a very public meltdown? Diary of a CEO host Steven Bartlett sent the podcasting world into a tailspin after complaining that three glasses of wine ruined his health scores. But why is Bartlett so polarising? And for how long can he walk the tightrope between edgy podcaster and BBC host? In the wake of Dua Lipa and Callum Turner's star-studded nuptials, Marina shares her field guide to the celebrity destination wedding. So who are the mandatory guests? And how closely will Taylor Swift adhere to the playbook when she ties the knot this summer? David Ellison's takeover of America's No.1 news show, 60 Minutes, has sparked dramatic firings and accusations of political interference.

This week on Don't Praise the Machine, we're asking the question nobody in the productivity space wants to answer: is optimization culture actually making your life worse?When a clip of Steven Bartlett went viral, explaining how three glasses of wine with friends "ruined him for three days," the internet didn't push back on the sobriety. They pushed back on the measurement. The Whoop band. The sleep scores. The idea that a normal Thursday night had become a biometric failure.We dig into whether treating your life as a quantifiable system to be hacked and continuously improved is quietly destroying the things that make life worth living. Friendship, spontaneity, and the occasional loaded fry.If you've ever felt guilty for enjoying yourself, this one's for you. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Farage and the far-right have been quick to seize on Henry Nowak's horrific murder, ignoring pleas from the victim's family for the killing not to be politicised. Instead the Reform leader decried “two-tier” policing and called for “pure, cold rage”. What does it all mean? Are we in for another summer of racially-triggered rioting? Plus: what would an Andy Burnham government actually look like? Can Manchesterism succeed where Starmerism stumbled? And in the Extra Bit… mantropreneurship irritant Steven Bartlett claims that two glasses of wine “ruined” his life for three days.

What happens when the dream career opportunity arrives… just as motherhood asks more of you than ever before?In this deeply honest conversation, Zoe sits down with Amy, CEO of Steven Bartlett Private Office, to talk about the impossible equation so many ambitious mothers are trying to solve. From taking a huge new role whilst pregnant, to the tension between career ambition and wanting to be the primary attachment figure for your children, this episode is an incredibly raw exploration of modern motherhood, identity and work.Amy shares the internal conflict so many mothers carry but rarely say out loud: that sometimes we don't just work for our children, we work because part of us still deeply wants ambition, creativity, challenge and growth too.This is an episode about intuition, guilt, love, matrescence and learning to live inside the contradictions of motherhood.

Jeannette is joined by Dr. Guy Sandelowsky, co-founder of the award-winning plant-powered pet food brand, Omni. Guy reflects on the business's phenomenal journey over the past 12 months, detailing how their appearance on Dragons' Den acted as a massive catalyst to 10x their top-line revenue.

Welcome Brave Lovers! In today's episode Laurie and George delve into the withdrawer's world and how their mission to get it right is so wrong.

If you identify as a withdrawer in your negative cycle or you want more insight on your withdrawing partner this episode will teach you: what is happening and steps to take to break this habit. You'll learn how to set realistic expectations, reduce pressure and communicate clearly with your partner. It takes less than 10 minutes a day to create a better relationship!
