What's up folks, today we have the pleasure of sitting down with Megan Kwon, Director, Digital Customer Communications at Loblaw Digital.(00:00) - Intro (01:26) - In This Episode (04:11) - Building a Career Around Conversations That Scale (06:25) - Customer Journey Pods and Martech Team Structures (09:08) - Martech Team Structures (11:23) - Customer Journey Martech Pods (12:54) - How to Assign Martech Tool Ownership and Drive Real Adoption (14:54) - Martech Training and Onboarding (17:30) - How To Integrate New Martech Into Daily Habits (19:59) - Why Change Champions Work in Martech Transformation (24:11) - Change Champion Example (28:25) - How To Manage Transactional Messaging Across Multiple Brands (32:35) - Frequency and Recency Capping (35:59) - Why Shared Ownership Improves Transactional Messaging (41:50) - Why Human Governance Still Matters in AI Messaging (47:11) - Why Curiosity Matters in Adapting to AI (53:08) - Creating Sustainable Energy in Marketing Leadership Summary: Megan leads digital customer communications at Loblaw Digital, turning enterprise-scale messaging into something that feels personal. She built her teams around the customer journey, giving each pod full creative and data ownership. The people driving results also own the tools, learning by building and celebrating small wins. Her “change champions” make new ideas stick, and her view on AI is grounded; use it to go faster, not think for you. Curiosity, she says, is what keeps marketing human.About MeganMegan Kwon runs digital customer communications at Loblaw Digital, the team behind how millions of Canadians hear from brands like Loblaws, Shoppers Drug Mart, and President's Choice. She's part strategist, part systems thinker, and fully obsessed with how data can make marketing feel more human, not less.Before returning to Loblaw, Megan helped reshape how people discover and trust local marketplaces at Kijiji, and before that, she built growth engines in the fintech world at NorthOne. Her career has been a study in scale; from scrappy e-commerce tests to national lifecycle programs that touch nearly every Canadian household. What sets her apart is the way she leads: with deep curiosity, radical ownership, and a bias for collaboration. She believes numbers tell stories, and that the best marketing teams build movements around insight, empathy, and accountability.Building a Career Around Conversations That ScaleRunning digital messaging at Loblaw means coordinating communication at a scale that few marketers ever experience. Megan oversees the systems that deliver millions of emails and texts across brands Canadians interact with daily, including Loblaws, Shoppers Drug Mart, and President's Choice. Her team manages both marketing and transactional messages, making sure each one aligns with a specific stage in the customer journey. The workload is immense. Each division has its own priorities, and every campaign needs to fit within a shared infrastructure that still feels personal to the customer.“We work with a lot of different business divisions across the entire organization. Our job is to make sure their strategies and programs come to life through the customer lifecycle.”Megan's team operates more like a connective tissue than a broadcast engine. They bridge the gaps between marketing, product, and data teams, translating disconnected strategies into a unified experience. That work involves building systems capable of:Managing multiple brand voices while keeping messaging consistentTriggering real-time communications that respond to customer behaviorIntegrating old and new technologies without breaking operational flowEvery campaign becomes part of a continuous conversation with the customer. Each message is one step in a long dialogue, not a one-off announcement.Megan's perspective comes from experience earned in very different industries. She began her career at Loblaw during the early days of online grocery, a time when digital operations were experimental and resourceful. She later worked across fintech, marketplaces, and paid media before returning to Loblaw. That journey helped her understand every layer of the customer funnel, from acquisition through retention. It also taught her how to combine growth marketing tactics with enterprise-level communication systems, that way she can scale personalization without losing humanity.Most large organizations still treat messaging as a collection of isolated programs. Megan treats it as an ecosystem. Her work shows that when lifecycle and acquisition efforts operate within a shared framework, communication becomes more coherent and far more effective. Alignment between data, channels, and teams reduces noise and builds trust with customers who engage across multiple brands.Key takeaway: Building a unified messaging ecosystem starts with structure, not volume. Create systems that connect channels, data, and brand voices into one coordinated experience. Treat messaging as a relationship that continues long after the first conversion. That way you can make enterprise-scale communication feel personal, intentional, and consistent across every touchpoint.Customer Journey Pods and Martech Team StructuresRunning digital communications at Loblaw means managing one of the largest customer ecosystems in the country. The team sends millions of messages across grocery, pharmacy, and e-commerce brands every week. Each interaction has to feel personal, relevant, and timely, even when it comes from a massive organization. Megan explains that the only way to handle that kind of scale is to treat data as the operating system and collaboration as the backbone.Her team relies on analytics to shape every message. Real-time signals from dozens of digital properties guide what customers see, when they see it, and how those experiences evolve. It is a constant feedback loop between behavior and communication. “We lean a lot into the data that we gather,” Megan says. “That pretty much drives almost everything that we do.” The systems are only half the story, though. The other half is how her team stays connected across offices, divisions, and projects. They share knowledge in Coda, manage progress in Jira, and rely on Slack to keep conversations fluid. Even their emojis have purpose, creating a shared language that makes collaboration faster and more human.“Everything that we do, we share that knowledge back and forth so that we can continue to learn off each other,” Megan said.The team structure used to follow the company's business units. Each division had its own specialists who acted like small internal agencies. It worked for speed, but it made collaboration harder. Megan reorganized everything around the customer journey instead. Her teams now work in “pods” that align with stages such as onboarding, discovery, shopping, and post-purchase. Each pod has both data and creative ownership over its domain. That way, a single team can experiment, learn, and apply what works across multiple brands.Megan also built intentional overlap between pods to keep ideas moving. For example, the loyalty and early engagement pod owns both new-member activation and retention. That connection helps them understand the full customer arc, from first purchase to repeat visits. The result is a flexible structure that shares expertise fluidly without losing focus. Large enterprises tend to slow down under their own weight, but this model keeps Loblaw's marketing engine fast, synchronized, and grounded in customer behavior.The work Megan's team does might look complex from the out...

En 2001, une équipe d'océanographes canadiens menée par Paulina Zelitsky et Paul Weinzweig, travaillant pour la société Advanced Digital Communications, réalise une découverte qui va bouleverser le monde scientifique : au large de la pointe occidentale de Cuba, leurs sonars détectent à 650 mètres de profondeur une série de structures géométriques parfaitement alignées. Des formes rectangulaires, des pyramides, des avenues entières semblent dessiner les contours d'une ville engloutie.À l'époque, les chercheurs effectuent plusieurs plongées robotisées. Les images sont saisissantes : blocs taillés, angles droits, surfaces planes évoquant des murs ou des routes. Tout semble indiquer une construction humaine, mais datée de plusieurs millénaires. Si l'hypothèse se confirmait, elle remettrait en cause notre chronologie de la civilisation, car aucune société connue n'aurait pu ériger une telle cité avant qu'elle soit engloutie par la mer.Les scientifiques baptisent le site “Mega”, du nom d'un programme de cartographie sous-marine cubano-canadien. Certains y voient la trace d'une cité perdue semblable au mythe de l'Atlantide décrit par Platon. D'autres évoquent un cataclysme datant de la fin de la dernière ère glaciaire, il y a environ 12 000 ans, lorsque la montée brutale des océans aurait englouti des régions côtières entières. Mais le mystère reste total : à cette profondeur, aucune civilisation connue n'aurait pu construire ni même habiter un tel lieu.Les sceptiques avancent une explication plus rationnelle : il pourrait s'agir d'un phénomène géologique naturel, des formations rocheuses fracturées par les mouvements tectoniques. Pourtant, la régularité des motifs continue d'interpeller. Les images sonar montrent des structures de 400 mètres de large, formant des ensembles quadrillés trop ordonnés pour être purement aléatoires.Depuis deux décennies, les débats s'enchaînent sans qu'aucune expédition de grande ampleur n'ait été menée pour trancher. Les fonds cubains, encore peu explorés, gardent leurs secrets. Paulina Zelitsky elle-même affirmait en 2002 : « Ce que nous avons vu ne ressemble à rien de connu. »Aujourd'hui, ces vestiges muets dorment toujours sous les eaux turquoise des Caraïbes. Ville antique, illusion géologique ou trace d'un monde oublié, personne ne le sait. Mais une chose est sûre : le fond des mers n'a pas encore livré tous ses secrets. Et peut-être, un jour, ces mystérieuses ruines de Cuba réécriront une page entière de l'histoire humaine. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Clare's senator is calling for a "stress test" of State sports funding structures to ensure people with disabilities aren't being excluded. Senator Martin Conway has once again requested a debate in Seanad Éireann on the steps being taken to include all willing participants in sport. The primary means of providing Government funding to sport and community organisations is the Community Sports Facilities Fund - the aim of which is "to foster an integrated and planned approach to the development of sports and physical recreation facilities" according to the Department of Culture, Communications and Sport. Speaking in the Seanad, Senator Conway says everyone deserve to be as active as they physically can.

Power Vacuum in Gaza: Clans Challenge Weakening Hamas Authority. Jonathan Schanzer (Foundation for Defense of Democracies) analyzes the reports of violence and gunplay occurring in Gaza, even during the ceasefire. Clan, family, and tribe structures have always been significant features in the governance of Palestinian territories, including Gaza and the West Bank. As Hamas weakens, these tribes are attempting to exert their authority and project power, leading to clashes on the streets. This is simply a grab for power, opposed by Hamas, which attempts to maintain control through violence and brutality. This process could result in different entities and actors controlling various pockets of the Gaza Strip, leading to a situation of fragmented territories or "bantustans." Retry

Procurement doesn't just have a measurement problem. It has a motivation problem. Behind every misaligned target, every “savings” claim, and every missed opportunity is the same invisible culprit: incentives that quietly tell people to do the wrong things well. In this episode of Buy: The Way…To Purposeful Procurement, Jason Brown, accounting professor at Indiana University and longtime corporate incentives expert, joins co-hosts Philip Ideson and Rich Ham to expose how organizational reward systems shape behavior far more powerfully than strategy or mission statements ever could. He explains why even the most principled teams end up chasing metrics that distort procurement's purpose, and why rethinking incentive design may be the key to unlocking true business alignment. Drawing from decades of academic research and corporate consulting, Jason unpacks the subtle ways procurement incentives drift off course: how bonus structures reward volume over value, how finance and procurement end up speaking different dialects of “performance,” and how organizations confuse compliance with contribution. He also brings attention to the rare examples of companies that have broken these patterns by tying procurement's rewards directly to shared outcomes that improve EBITDA, resilience, and stakeholder trust. This conversation challenges a fundamental assumption: can procurement ever be purposeful if its people are rewarded for something other than real impact?  As Jason argues, until incentives reflect what actually matters to the business and society, procurement will remain stuck in a cycle of performative alignment where everyone looks busy but the enterprise stands still. According to Jason, the truth may be uncomfortable, but it's exactly what procurement needs to hear. Incentive design isn't a soft topic or a side project. It's the operating system of purposeful procurement, and it's long overdue for an upgrade. Links: Jason Brown on LinkedInRich Ham on LinkedInLearn more at FineTuneUs.com

Are you feeling the world crumbling around you? Structures failing? Overwhelmed by the chaos? You're not imagining it, and The Guides have answers. In this profound channeling session, Paul Selig, Michael's all-time favorite spiritual teacher, brings through The Guides' most powerful attunements yet from his groundbreaking new work, "Divine Union". Discover why humanity is experiencing a "time of reckoning," how to navigate the collapse of old systems, and the exact attunements that will lift you to the upper room where fear cannot exist. This isn't about fixing the old world. This is about rising to a level of consciousness where war, separation, and fear cannot be present, and reclaiming manifestation itself from a higher octave of being. Key Topics: The single most powerful attunement humanity needs right now: "I am in God. I am of God. I am with God."  Why everything falling apart is actually the foundation being rebuilt (not patched) How to access the upper room, the octave of vibration where fear cannot lift. The truth about collective agreement vs. approval (and why you're in accord with everything you witness) Why healing isn't about attacking illness with light, it's restoration to what's always true. How to bless everyone and everything (including those you can't hold in light) The Guides' prophecy: humanity has chosen to survive and ascend beyond war consciousness. The Revolutionary Teaching: You don't tear walls down by attacking them. You lift above the wall, or the need for separation, to a level where the wall itself cannot exist because it doesn't exist at that octave of consciousness. Join the Inspire Nation Soul Family!

What if the Bible was written with deep structural patterns designed to echo across generations—economically and theologically? In this riveting episode, Dr. Joshua Berman joins Dru Johnson to reveal how literary design, verbal repetition, and cultural continuity make the Bible not a patchwork, but a carefully composed unity. Through examples ranging from Genesis and Judges to Exodus and Samuel, Berman shows how the same words, images, and narrative arcs—like “sword and bow” or reversal of blessing—carry deliberate echoes and layered meanings across the text. They also explore gendered storytelling in Exodus 2, the function of poetry in biblical prose, and why embedded songs like Exodus 15 don't contradict the narrative—they expand it. Berman explains how ancient readers trained in repetition and orality would have caught these cues instantly, and why modern readers miss them. This episode is also a personal one, as Berman shares how leading Jewish tours in Egypt deepened his faith in the biblical text—and even led to unexpected moments of hope across religious and national divides.
