NASA's experimental X-59 airplane went supersonic for the first time on June 5, 2026. What's next for the mission that aims to reopen the skies to quiet commercial supersonic flight?
It's still hot on both sides of the Atlantic, but Kristina has a new secret weapon for staying cool without making noise. Will Elliot and the others follow suit? Time will tell. In Hackaday news, well, there's a lot of it. For starters, Supercon Ten tickets went on sale Thursday morning, but chances are good that by the time you read this, the early bird offering will be all pecked out. But, never fear! More tickets will be released soon enough. Don't want to buy a ticket, but still want to go? Submit a talk proposal that gets accepted, and you'll be welcomed in free of charge. Lucky for you, we just extended the deadline by two weeks to August 26th. After exhausting the news, Elliot reached into the ol' Mailbag and found a funny anecdote from [Vik Olliver]. (Funny in that it'll make you go 'hmm'.) A brief discussion about imperial vs. metric ensued, but then it was on to the hacks. Check out the links on Hackaday if you want to follow along, and as always, tell us what you think about this episode in the comments!

They Changed 90s Music Forever: Oasis, Nirvana, Snoop Dogg & The Untold Stories….This week, I'm opening The New Mind Podcast archive & bringing back two extraordinary conversations with two men who witnessed music history being made from completely different sides of the industry.These interviews were originally released when The New Mind Podcast was much smaller. Since then, the audience has grown enormously, so many of you will never have heard them.They're simply too good to stay buried in the archive!!So this episode features former Island Records Managing Director Marc Marot & legendary broadcaster & presenter of Channel 4's The Word, Terry Christian.Marc Marot spent his career at the heart of the international music business. He began at Blue Mountain Music, associated with the catalogues of Bob Marley & U2, before becoming the youngest Managing Director of Island Records at just 29.His career put him alongside some of the most important artists & movements in modern music, with Island during his tenure associated with artists including Ice Cube, NWA, Pulp, The Cranberries, Tricky, Stereo MC's, P.M. Dawn, Nine Inch Nails, The Orb, PJ Harvey & many moreMarc takes us behind the curtain of the record industry, sharing what happens when extraordinary talent, enormous personalities, money, ambition, creativity, pressure & fame collide.Then there's Terry Christian….For millions who grew up in Britain during the 1990s, Terry was the unmistakable face of Channel 4's The Word, one of the most controversial, anarchic & culturally significant youth television programmes of its generation.Long before YouTube, TikTok, Instagram or Spotify could launch an artist overnight, television could change a career.The Word became a platform for artists who would go on to dominate global music, including Nirvana, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, Jamiroquai & Oasis, whose appearance performing Supersonic became their first television performance.Terry takes us back inside that extraordinary period of British culture & talks about music, television, fame, class, controversy, celebrity & what was really happening behind the scenes.One man was helping shape music from inside one of the world's most influential record labels.The other was helping put a new generation of artists in front of millions of people.Together, their stories offer a remarkable window into an era before algorithms, influencers & social media, when record labels, television, radio, magazines & a handful of cultural gatekeepers could help determine what the world heard next.If you love 90s music, Britpop, Oasis, U2, Nirvana, hip hop, music documentaries, music industry stories, Channel 4's The Word or hearing what really happens behind fame, this episode is for you.Subscribe for conversations exploring psychology, culture, human behaviour, trauma, success, celebrity & the extraordinary stories behind extraordinary people.

A former Groupon product manager set out to bring back supersonic passenger flight. Everyone told him it was a bad idea. He couldn't find a single reason they were right.Blake Scholl is the founder and CEO of Boom Supersonic, the company that built the first civil supersonic jet outside of a government or military, and then made the sonic boom disappear entirely.He joins Jessica Neal and co-host Peter Clarke on Truth Works for an honest conversation about audacious goals, telling the truth inside a company, and the leadership lessons he learned the hard way.Blake did not have the aerospace resume for this. He started his career at Amazon, spent years in startups, and was running internet coupons at Groupon when he decided to teach himself aerospace from textbooks and build a spreadsheet that said the whole world should be flying supersonic. A decade later, his airplane broke the sound barrier.In this episode he breaks down why supersonic flight really disappeared (hint: it was not the noise), how he rebuilt Boom's culture after hiring the wrong senior people, and why he now says he has learned to "love the riff."TOPICS COVERED→ Organizing every idea by how happy you'd be if it worked→ Choosing passion over resume, and why skills are more changeable than what you love→ The real reason supersonic flight was banned in 1973→ Solving the sonic boom by accident, and going from breaking the sound barrier to a repeal of the ban in 115 days→ Using supersonic technology to power AI data centers and bootstrap the company→ The "talent distillery": how Boom grows its own senior leaders→ Why he fired every direct report in one day, and what happened to morale→ Learning to "love the riff" and saying goodbye without making it personal→ The first-flight story and the safety rule: "I might say f**k, but I won't say f**k you"→ Velocity over predictability, and why padding your timeline makes you later→ Designing for tranquility, and the small details airlines ignore→ The birthday his board told him to shut the company downWhether you are building something people call impossible, leading a team through a hard call, or just trying to tell the truth at work, this one will stay with you.New episodes of Truth Works every week.

This week, Mitch welcomes The Professor back to the porch to ask a simple question: Why did commercial aviation stop getting faster?From the rise and fall of Concorde to the new Boom Supersonic's attempt to cut flight times in half, we explore whether technology, economics, or regulation has been holding us back. Innovation versus optimization, the role of capitalism in bringing breakthrough ideas to everyday people, and why history is so often written by those willing to risk building what everyone else believes is impossible.It starts with airplanes. It ends with a much bigger question: Have we stopped dreaming big enough?Mitch Wonders is where Texas porch talk meets life's big questions. Each episode, Mitch — a cranky but curious Texan — takes a plainspoken look at today's world with humor, humility, and a shot of wisdom you can actually swallow.Catch up on all episodes, see recent guests, YouTube clips, BBQ and whiskey reviews, subscribe, and visit the Mitch Merch Store at https://mitchwonders.com/Got feedback?

This week is one giant lesson in consolidation: everybody's buying everybody, the money is concentrating, the ownership is concentrating, and the people are getting cut. Tripledot bought Supersonic from Unity, Saudi Arabia closed the biggest leveraged buyout in history to take EA private, and Netflix gutted a studio seven weeks after praising its game on an earnings call.Matej Lančarič flies solo for the weekly news. Tripledot acquired Supersonic from Unity for $40M cash — a striking number given Supersonic likely did ~$40-45M in revenue over the last 12 months (per Sensor Tower plus ad revenue), and given ironSource paid $150M for it 11 years ago and Unity got it inside the $4.4B ironSource merger in 2022. It's the final piece of ironSource leaving the building — and the second time Tripledot has done this, after buying AppLovin's entire games business for $800M a year ago. The pattern is now complete: both AppLovin and Unity have exited game publishing to become pure ad-tech companies (ad networks make ads, publishers make games). That sale landed alongside Unity's best quarter ever (revenue $546M, up 24%, Grow segment up 35% to $389M on Vector AI, approaching GAAP profitability). Saudi Arabia's PIF closed its $55B take-private of EA (now delisted, ~93% PIF-owned with Silver Lake and Affinity Partners) — the largest LBO in history, with ~$20B in debt that will push EA hard toward recurring mobile and live-service revenue, plus a Vision 2030 soft-power dimension via EA Sports FC. Netflix's FIFA World Cup studio Refactor laid off 85% of staff seven weeks after Netflix named the game one of its most successful cloud debuts — the same praise-then-kill pattern as Squid Game Unleashed. And AppLovin posted a "miss that isn't a miss" (revenue up 53% to ~$1.92B, just under consensus).The through-line: the ad networks make ads now, the publishers make games, and the ownership of the whole industry is concentrating like never before.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 A week of pure consolidation — everybody's buying everybody01:40 Tripledot buys Supersonic for $40M — the ironSource endgame05:30 The pattern: ad networks exit publishing06:40 Unity's best quarter ever — the Vector AI turnaround09:30 Saudi Arabia takes EA private for $55B13:00 The Netflix FIFA disaster — praised, then gutted17:30 AppLovin's Q2 — the miss that isn't a miss---------------------------------------This is no BS gaming podcast 2.5 gamers session.

What to expect at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2026 and an interview with the Manager of Onsite Learning at the Smithsonian's National Air & Space Museum. Also, how L3Harris converted the Qatari-gifted 747 into Air Force One, the Cirrus TRAC10, window seat lawsuits, a rule change to allow supersonic flight over the United States, and an update on Boom Supersonic's strategy for its self-developed Symphony engine. Image by Linda and Lily. Guest Dick Knapinski is Director of Communications for the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA). He has served in that capacity since 2010 and has been with the organization since 1992. Dick serves as the liaison between the media and EAA throughout the year, particularly during EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, the world’s largest fly-in convention. The event runs July 20-26, 2026. Dick Knapinski Boeing Plaza will be packed with aircraft to celebrate the aviation technology theme. Currently planned innovation displays for July 21 include BETA Technologies, Bye Aerospace, Jetson, American Drone, MagniX, Zipline, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Airhart Aeronautics, Merlin Labs, Amazon Delivery, and Starlight Productions. In addition to the displays on Boeing Plaza, Bye Aerospace, Jetson, BETA Technologies, American Drone, and ScaleWings plan to fly during the afternoon air show. Drone delivery company Wing will display the latest developments in its operations at Twilight Flight Fest. Learn more about the AirVenture Airshows and performers, Aircraft Anniversaries & Gatherings, Authors Corner, AviationTech, KidVenture, and the Fly-In Theater. Rare warbird static/flying displays will include the B-29 “Doc,” as well as a rare Consolidated PB4Y and the CAF’s B-24 Liberator on static display at Boeing Plaza. Vicky Benzing will fly her P-51 “Plum Crazy,” and Bernie Vasquez will demo a Republic P-47 Thunderbolt in afternoon shows. The Aviation Gateway Park will spotlight helicopters, advanced vertical lift platforms, and eVTOL aircraft through static displays and interactive exhibits. Before joining EAA, Dick built a broadcasting career in Wisconsin, including stints as Program Director at WNBI Radio, News Director at WMGV Radio, and Station Manager at WLFM-FM/Wisconsin Public Radio. He also spent years as a sportswriter for the Appleton Post-Crescent. Dick holds a private pilot certificate and remains active as a writer and spokesperson for EAA. Aviation News How was the new Air Force One prepared for flight? The two permanent VC-25 replacements were selected in 2015, and the $3.9 billion fixed-price contract was signed in February 2018. Boeing began physical refurbishment work in February 2020 on two 747-8I airframes originally built for the bankrupt Russian carrier Transaero. Boeing has already reported $2.5 billion in losses on the program. The current delivery target for the first jet is between 2027 and 2028, with the second jet to follow later. The ex-Qatari 747-8 “bridge” aircraft was gifted to the U.S. Air Force in May 2025 and entered service on July 1, 2026. L3Harris did the conversion in about 10 months. The quick conversion was accomplished due to several factors: Pre-staged employees operated on a 24/7, three-shift structure. (Boeing has worked a normal single-shift industrial pace, with no incentive to surge, staff once costs started ballooning.) The bridge aircraft came with a luxury interior. (Boeing's jets had incomplete interiors – basically shells.) Missing VC-25 elements. Reports (unconfirmed by the government) include no evidence of defensive countermeasures and a lack of EMP hardening. L3Harris didn’t out-engineer Boeing. They ran a 24/7 surge crew on a plane that already had a finished VIP interior, targeted a much narrower requirement (“executive airlift” vs. full presidential command-post survivability), and the government has not been forthcoming about which hardened-aircraft features (EMP shielding, missile countermeasures, full secure comms suite) were omitted. See also: Trump wants the $400M Qatari-gifted new Air Force One to be the centerpiece of his presidential library. But there's a problem. Cirrus launches TRAC10, a new light aircraft for the flight training market Purpose-designed for flight schools and to be powered by a turbocharged Rotax 916 iSc FADEC engine, the plane has a three-seat interior, a Garmin flight deck, and the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System. Cirrus says they have 100 orders from 13 flight schools. United Airlines must face lawsuit over ‘window seats’ that lack windows Not every “window seat” has a window. Sometimes it has a wall. That's just the way it is. But last August, some passengers filed class actions against United Airlines and Delta Air Lines, claiming that the carriers failed to properly disclose the lack of a window during the booking process. United claimed that “window seat” described the seat’s location and did not contractually promise that the seat would, in fact, have a window. In San Francisco, U.S. District Judge James Donato rejected the airlines' request to dismiss the suit. New Rule Clears Way for Quiet Supersonic Flights By way of history: The FAA issued 14 CFR § 91.817 in April 1973, prohibiting civil aircraft from flying at speeds exceeding Mach 1 over land in the United States. The ban came as a result of early Air Force and NASA-controlled boom tests over cities, concerns over the Boeing 2707 SST program, and the impending arrival of the Concorde. NASA’s X-59 QueSST is flying specifically to gather community-response data on its “quiet boom” design. In a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (Proposed rule: Enabling Supersonic Overland Flight), the FAA is looking to replace the blanket Mach-1 ban with a noise-based standard. Supersonic flight over land would be permitted if the boom signature falls under a certain loudness threshold. The NPRM states, “Manufacturers have demonstrated it is possible to fly supersonic aircraft without sonic booms reaching the surface by using sonic boom abatement techniques, making complete prohibition on civil supersonic flight outside of test areas no longer appropriate and an unnecessary restraint on the growth of the U.S. aviation sector.” The NPRM shifts the regulatory trigger from speed to noise. Right now, § 91.817 just bans anything faster than Mach 1 over land. The proposed rule keeps that structure but adds an exception: an operator may exceed Mach 1 if it can demonstrate that the sonic boom’s overpressure at the surface does not exceed 0.11 pounds per square foot (psf). This NPRM only covers en-route/overland boom noise. A separate rule on takeoff/landing noise is expected later this year, with both rules targeted for finalization by mid-2027. The comment period ends August 17, 2026, at 11:59 PM EDT. Boom Supersonic Q2 2026 Update https://youtu.be/gtf0-bVSbeA?is=GmG8VhICNm4wg7tP The FAA proposal to change from speed regulation to noise regulation is something Boom Supersonic and others have been seeking. In the Boom Supersonic Q2 2026 Update video, Blake Scholl reveals Boom's strategy for the Symphony engine. The company intends to market a variant of the engine for behind-the-meter power generation that AI companies can utilize for power. In large part, the engine OEMs wouldn’t develop an engine for the Overture because the huge development cost couldn’t be covered by the expected engine volume. So when Boom announced it was developing its own engine, the business case was unclear. But by focusing on the ground power generation market, Boom can spread development costs over a greater number of engines. Also, that revenue stream would generate cash flow for the Overture program. National Air and Space Museum Celebrates 50 Years With Opening of Five New Galleries Hillel attended the Smithsonian's National Air & Space Museum media preview of the opening of the five galleries.

You have fondled around and clicked on what would effectively serve as my newest installment, Supersonic Subwoofer. Mostly hip hop starting with NAS and ODB with examples from Mike Jones, Paul Wall, Kanye, Drake, Future and my current favorite Jay Electronica. Sittin Sideways by Paul Wall sounds particularly fantastic with the subwoofer, as well as the majority of that Drake and Future run. I hope a long time listener out there can tell the difference. It makes all the difference in the world inside this room. I'm sure it changed things for my neighbors as well. Who am I kidding they're probably sitting down right now to write a thank you letter. "Thank you, Witwicka Juan Don for blasting nothing but the illest of jams of late, to a volume of distorted proportions without the slightest remorse. Please continue to do so, in particular the Jai Paul slowed and throwed bits. My mother really enjoys them." Something like that. Thank you, as always for being here. Shouts to the absolute bros in Singapore and my brethren in Frankfurt. Until next time.. I remainYour Host with the Most,Witwickatron
Business aviation has spent decades climbing the same performance ladder: more range, more speed, larger cabins, better engines, better avionics, and more capable aircraft. That evolution created the modern business jet market and pushed the high end into a category that would have been difficult to imagine when the first purpose-built business aircraft entered service. But the next era may not be defined by simply building a bigger airplane. With aircraft like the G800, Global 8000, and Falcon 10X, the upper end of the market is already approaching the practical limits of range, cabin size, and price. Supersonic business aviation remains difficult. New air vehicle concepts may be promising, but business aviation has historically prioritized performance, reliability, and mission utility over radical experimentation. That raises a more important question for business aviation leaders: where does meaningful differentiation come from next? In this episode, I continue the conversation with Kevin Michaels and Richard Aboulafia of AeroDynamic Advisory about Time Machines: Business Aviation's Dynamic Journey. This second part looks at the future of the market: why the high end keeps marching upward, why the medium-cabin segment may need a new catalyst, how post-COVID usage patterns are changing ownership and operating models, and why the aircraft may increasingly be judged by what it enables onboard. What You'll Discover In This Episode Why the ultra-long-range business jet market has continued to expand, even when many people once doubted there would be room for multiple players at the high end. How the G800, Global 8000, and Falcon 10X reflect the continued march toward larger, more capable, and more expensive business aircraft. Why business aviation may be approaching a point where range, speed, and cabin size are no longer enough to create meaningful differentiation. How onboard connectivity, virtual workspaces, interiors, avionics, and human-machine interface may become more important to the next era of business aircraft. Why radically new air vehicle concepts may be harder to justify in a market that has historically prioritized performance and mission utility over fuel-efficiency-led experimentation. What the continued rise of ultra-high-net-worth demand reveals about the top end of the business aviation market. Why the medium-cabin and “workaday” jet market may need a new catalyst as the high end keeps pulling away. How business aviation usage has changed since COVID, including the shift away from traditional ownership and toward fractional, managed aircraft, and Part 135 models. Why “business aviation as a service” may become a more important way to understand the market's next phase. What leaders should watch as aircraft performance, ownership models, customer expectations, and onboard experience begin to define the next chapter of business aviation.

Après une série consacrée aux races anciennes et une deuxième aux animaux de la basse-cour, l'excellent naturaliste et éleveur-documentariste Rémi Dupouy (co-auteur avec Yann Arthus-Bertrand de Vivant en 2022, entre-autres) est de retour pour 6 nouveaux épisodes dédiés à l'un de ses animaux fétiches : l'Ours brun. Originaire de Gascogne, Rémi connaît particulièrement bien cet "autre de l'Homme", aujourd'hui présent en France exclusivement dans les Pyrénées. Cette série est l'occasion pour lui de nous faire (re)découvrir cet animal qui fascine autant qu'il inquiète, et ce depuis des millénaires...Dans ce premier épisode, impensable de ne pas présenter toute la famille des Ursidés, le nom scientifique, vous l'aurez compris, des 8 espèces de nounours actuelles. Les Ours sont répartis sur tous les continents à l'exception de l'Océanie et de l'Antarctique, et ont colonisé toutes sortes de milieux, de la banquise arctique aux déserts moyen-orientaux en passant par la jungle indienne. Ils ont également une immense diversité de taille et de forme :L'Ours brun (Ursus arctos) est présent en Eurasie et en Amérique du Nord. avec une douzaine de sous-espèces (dont le Grizzly). Parmi les poids-lourds, l'Ours Kodiak (jusqu'à 1 tonne !).L'Ours noir (Ursus americanus) a presque disparu de la plupart des États-Unis et du Mexique. Il se maintient au Canada et en Alaska, où sa population est même en hausse. Il vit principalement dans les forêts tempérées et boréales,L'Ours polaire (Ursus maritimus) ou Ours blanc, vit en Arctique, qui porte son nom (arktos = ours en grec). Sa fourrure est translucide et creuse, pleine d'air, ce qui constitue un excellent isolant. C'est l'un des plus gros ours (record : 800 kg) . Il mange surtout des phoques.Le Panda géant (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) vit dans les forêts tempérées des montagnes de Chine, et se nourrit surtout de bambou. L'Ours malais ou Ours des cocotiers (Helarctos malayanus), vit en Asie du Sud-Est. Ce sont les poids-plumes de la famille : moins de 50 kg. Leur fourrure est noire et rase, adaptée au climat chaud.L'Ours lippu, Ours à miel, ou Ours paresseux (Melursus ursinus) vit en Inde, au Sri Lanka et au Népal. Sa longue fourrure est noire et pelucheuse. Ses oreilles sont en forme de plumeau. Il a une tache blanche en forme de « V » sur la poitrine. Il est insectivore et frugivore.L'Ours à lunettes (Tremarctos ornatus) est endémique des Andes tropicales. Principale caractéristique : les taches blanches autour de ses yeux, d'où son nom.L'Ours noir d'Asie ou Ours à collier ou Ours du Tibet (Ursus thibetanus) vit de l'Iran au Japon. Ils ont une petite tache blanche en croissant sur la poitrine et donnent l'impression d'avoir une crinière.___SOURCES :Vignette : Les 8 espèces actuelles d'Ursidés.

Mike Rowe sits down with Blake Scholl, the former Amazon software engineer turned aerospace entrepreneur who walked away from Silicon Valley to revive supersonic passenger travel. As the founder of Boom Supersonic, Blake explains the century-long pursuit of faster flight. From the Cold War race to break the sound barrier to the rise—and fall—of the Concorde, Blake explains why supersonic travel disappeared just as it seemed destined to change aviation forever. He also shares how Boom Supersonic is working to make high-speed passenger flight practical again, and what it will take to shrink a 12-hour flight into just a few hours. Along the way, Mike and Blake discuss innovation, risk, engineering breakthroughs, and why some people refuse to accept that getting somewhere faster is a problem already solved.

-The company announced the new Isaac Gr00t reference design humanoid robot platform that combines a Unitree H2 Plus humanoid robot, Sharpa five-fingered hands and NVIDIA Jetson Thor onboard compute. -The X-59 is scheduled to take its first supersonic flight, hitting over 630 mph at an altitude of about 43,000 feet, then, in a followup "mission conditions" test, it will reach 925 mph (Mach 1.4) at about 55,000 feet. After that, it'll go for its max speed: Mach 1.6, or 1,218 mph, at an altitude of 60,000 feet -Apple is trying to stand out from the competition with four different styles and unique colors for its smart glasses.

The way we walk through the world matters. Far too often, we move through our days feeling unworthy of taking up space. We feel the need to apologize for our presence rather than stepping into the brilliance that our souls yearn to express. So how to we connect with something deeper? We must choose to tap into our divine presence; the force that knows the true value of our souls. When we walk in this light, we lead with power and presence beyond measure. As we listen to the raindrops fall, reflect on the ways that you move through life. Are you ready to walk tall? No apologies.

Il y a des endroits à Paris qui ne s'expliquent pas vraiment. On y entre, et on comprend...Le Supersonic est de ceux-là.Hadrien-Paul Ménard n'a pas suivi le chemin le plus direct. L'Allemagne d'abord, des études, une autre façon de voir les choses. Puis Paris, et l'envie de construire quelque chose de vivant, un bar, un restaurant, des endroits où les gens se retrouvent et où l'on revient.C'est peut-être ce détour-là qui a tout changé. Parce que le Supersonic qu'il dirige aujourd'hui, ce n'est pas juste une salle de concert. C'est un modèle pensé, assumé, avec sa propre logique : la nuit finance le jour, la discothèque finance les concerts. Sept soirs de concerts par semaine. Une scène ouverte à ceux qui débutent comme à ceux qui percent. Et derrière, une promesse tenue à chaque groupe accueilli — une scène propre, des loges, du backline, de la nourriture.Ce que raconte Hadrien, c'est qu'on peut faire les choses bien sans attendre que quelqu'un vous en donne les moyens. Que parier sur un groupe qui se lance, ce n'est pas de seulement de la passion ou un coup de main, c'est un choix artistique et ça peut équilibrer un modèle économique.Sold Out, le podcast pour se glisser dans les coulisses du spectacle vivant.Avec le soutien de Delight.Production : Big Red Machine / Réalisation : Marc H'LIMI / Interview & programmation : Marc Gonnet / Communication & image : Joey ColasHébergé par Ausha.

Robin Zander hosted a Snafu webinar for the Sidebar community on non-sales selling—think self-promotion for career transitions, freelancers, entrepreneurs, and product people. The goal: learn to "sell yourself" without the ick factor. Participants shared fears: follow-ups feel intimidating, sales feels slimy, and success seems like a numbers game. Robin reframed it: selling is really about enrollment—being a chief evangelist for your work, not begging for attention. Drawing on stories from his childhood pumpkin patch, his time as a personal trainer (where desperation lost him clients), and opening Robin's Cafe in San Francisco (raising $40k, serving multiple stakeholders, training staff with Danny Meyer's principles), he showed the difference between selling from need vs. service. Long-term success comes from genuine connection, curiosity, optimism, and passion. Attendees explored their "authentic attitude" and reflected on times self-promotion felt good versus slimy. Exercises included mapping all the people who benefit from your work—employees, customers, managers, mentees, community—and practicing generosity in selling (a "Miracle on 34th Street" mindset: help customers even if it means sending them elsewhere). In Q&A, Robin tackled: Asking for promotions as modeling for others, especially women and minorities Persistence in follow-ups (yes, emailing Mark Benioff 53 times counts) Relationship-based enterprise selling Avoiding fear-based AI marketing by knowing who you serve and what problem you solve Recommended reading: Setting the Table (Danny Meyer), Unreasonable Hospitality (Will Guidara), The New Strategic Selling.

One time self-promoting felt good → what were you doing differently? Two-minute reflection / chat participation Participant reflections/examples Slimy examples: Interviewing for a job during layoffs, giving desperate energy Selling P&L at a hyperscaler Selling computers and printers in UK post-college Sales emails getting ghosted Feeling inauthentic or performative, taking advantage of someone Good examples: Offering services out of care and love rather than ROI Showing impact of work to junior child Knowing services add real value and solve a challenge Being clear on what the other person needs Key takeaway Self-promotion feels different depending on intent and knowledge Slimy → desperate, inauthentic, unclear value to recipient Authentic → service-driven, clear value, connection-focused Effective self-promotion combines knowing your value and serving others, not just pushing for personal gain 25:35 Miracle on 34th Street Lesson Feeling good in self-promotion comes from genuinely helping, solving problems, and sharing information Santa Claus hired at Macy's to hold kids and give candy canes, but real goal: persuade parents to buy from Macy's Santa instead sends parents to competitor to truly serve them Macy's manager initially furious Outcome: customers feel genuinely served, return praising Macy's, become loyal fans Robin references Miracle on 34th Street (original version) Key insight: providing real value, even if it benefits someone else, eventually returns value to you "Put enough bread across the water, eventually good things come back" Participant reflections Slimy: knowing audience expects judgment, catering to them for approval Good: giving the gift of knowledge, providing service freely Takeaway: authentic self-promotion is rooted in service, generosity, and sharing expertise, not manipulating for immediate gain 27:45 Starting Robin's Cafe Through Service Robin shares a major professional turning point: opening Robin's Cafe in 2016 No restaurant experience beyond college busing tables Opened in three weeks, eventually grew to 15 employees by 2018 Worked in multiple industries: Pumpkin patch, personal trainer, circus performer Opened a café/restaurant in Mission District, San Francisco Courage and conviction came from clear focus on service to others Employees: create a great workplace, go-giver culture Investors: $40k raised from friends/family, provided value and potential return Landlords (ODC, nonprofit dance center): wanted success of business to support community Customers: diverse—tech workers, kids in dance classes, local community Robin himself: financial sustainability, learning, personal growth Key audiences served by Robin's Cafe Approach to challenges Used Danny Meyer's Setting the Table as a service-focused framework for employees Philosophy: "giving in order to get paid" Examples: spouse, kids, dog, manager, peers, mentees, clients, community, customers, extended family, mentors Served multiple stakeholders during crises: break-ins, flooding, city permitting, neighborhood issues Exercise: identify all the people who benefit from your work or success Key idea: the more stakeholders served, the easier self-promotion becomes, because it comes from service, not need or pressure Show up thinking: does this serve the person I'm talking to? Principle: selling yourself from a place of service Consider multiple stakeholders simultaneously Audience question: elaborate on applying this service mindset specifically to asking for a promotion Tying service to self-promotion in career advancement Result: asking for a raise, applying for jobs, pitching clients—all easier and more authentic 38:11 Promotion As Service Asking for a promotion from a place of service Example: doing the role already, deserving recognition, asking for what you believe you've earned. Personal perspective: advocating for yourself is a form of service to yourself Recognize other stakeholders in the process: Modeling courage and advocacy for the next generation Authority enables ideas to be taken more seriously Stories gained from new responsibilities enhance value to clients or teams People you mentor, especially women or underrepresented groups The organization: your promotion can make it stronger Your family or children: showing them what it looks like to advocate Concrete examples Outcome: trajectory of career positively influenced, demonstrated courage, modeled behavior Asking first time for a manager role Later asking for VP title as a director Courage and small steps Courage = acting despite fear, not absence of fear Practice by taking incremental steps toward what scares you Avoid masking or hesitation; direct action builds confidence and results Persistence and follow-up Busy people require patience and multiple nudges Example: Mark Stubbings emailing Mark Benioff 53 times before a yes Persistence = respectful, consistent follow-ups Role modeling for women and minorities Demonstrates that asking is a normal, expected, and service-oriented act Many don't ask for promotions or raises due to upbringing or cultural norms Modeling advocacy teaches the next generation, including children, to speak up Service mindset in practice Approach self-promotion by asking: is this good for the other person? Keep intention aligned with service, not desperation Books for guidance: Setting the Table – Danny Meyer: service-driven sales and employee culture Unreasonable Hospitality – Will Guidara: lessons from the restaurant world on giving value and delight Key takeaways for promotion and asking Serve yourself, your mentees, your organization, and your broader audience Take small, courageous steps to ask for what you deserve Follow up respectfully and consistently; don't assume silence = no Self-promotion becomes easier and authentic when rooted in service, not fear or need Snafu Newsletter Weekly newsletter written by Robin Covers influence, persuasion, and modern workplace dynamics A resource for ongoing learning and practical insights 56:55 Where to Find Robin Robin's newsletter covers influence, persuasion, and modern work.
