In this conversation, Dan Frommer, founder and editor in chief of The New Consumer, discusses the complexities of consumer behavior, particularly in relation to food choices. He explores the dichotomy between what consumers say they want and what they actually purchase, emphasizing the influence of technology, marketing, and generational differences. The discussion also touches on the challenges posed by ultra-processed foods and the importance of real food in promoting health and well-being. Throughout the conversation, Frommer shares insights from his research, highlighting the need for education and understanding in navigating consumer trends.Takeaways:Understanding consumer behavior is crucial for effective marketing.There is often a gap between what consumers say they want and what they actually buy.Food choices are influenced by technology and social media.Generational and gender differences play a significant role in food preferences.Education about food and health is essential for consumers.Surveys can provide valuable insights but have limitations.Real food is preferable to ultra-processed options for health.Trust in institutions is declining, leading consumers to rely on influencers.Personalization in food choices is becoming more important.Gratitude and mindfulness can enhance consumer satisfaction. Sound bites:“The healthiest foods that make people also the happiest are grapes, blueberries, and broccoli.”“Chocolate makes Gen Xers happier than any other product makes any other generation in all our research.”“I'm really interested to see companies finding ways to help people to make food choices that are not only considered smart on a macro level, but are the right thing for them personally.”“Younger people believe that grocers, online grocers especially, have a responsibility to recommend healthy food.”“Ultra-processed foods, a great example of something where people have very strong opinions about it, but don't actually know what they are.”“It's very hard to get Americans to agree on anything, but something that both Democrats and Republicans agree on in our research is that the government should be doing more to regulate ultra processed food than it has in the past.”“There's increasing awareness around seed oils. Some people are convinced that they are toxic and that they are killing Americans and making us all have terrible health. Other people, including scientists, are saying that is nonsense.”“The US is not in a recession, but most people think it is. So what do do about that?”“The people who are buying the cheapest, least environmentally friendly stuff are also the ones who are saying that they are more willing to go out of their way and spend more money for the environment.”“I think if we all just ate more real food, I think that would probably have a better outcome for so many different elements of the food chain of our health, wellness, etc.”Links:Dan Frommer on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/fromedome/The New Consumer - https://newconsumer.com/The New Consumer on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/newconsumer/The New Consumer on X - https://x.com/newconsumerThe New Consumer on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/newconsumerConsumer Trends: Food Feelings Matrix - https://newconsumer.com/2025/05/consumer-trends-food-feelings-healthy-happy/Consumer Trends: Food & Wellness 2025 - https://newconsumer.com/2025/03/introducing-the-consumer-trends-2025-food-wellness-special-report/How Americans really think about seed oils, Poppi & Olipop, and MAHA - https://newconsumer.com/2025/03/how-americans-really-think-about-seed-oils-poppi-olipop-and-maha/Consumer Trends: Beauty Special 2025 - https://newconsumer.com/2025/04/introducing-the-consumer-trends-beauty-special-2025/…Brands for a Better World Episode Archive - http://brandsforabetterworld.com/Brands for a Better World on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/brand-for-a-better-world/Modern Species - https://modernspecies.com/Modern Species on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/modern-species/Gage Mitchell on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/gagemitchell/…Print Magazine Design Podcasts - https://www.printmag.com/categories/printcast/…Heritage Radio Network - https://heritageradionetwork.org/Heritage Radio Network on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/heritage-radio-network/posts/Heritage Radio Network on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/HeritageRadioNetworkHeritage Radio Network on X - https://x.com/Heritage_RadioHeritage Radio Network on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/heritage_radio/Heritage Radio Network on Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@heritage_radioChapters:03:00 Understanding Consumer Behavior05:59 Food Feelings: Happiness vs. Health08:58 Gender and Generational Differences in Food Preferences12:10 The Role of Technology in Food Choices15:04 The Impact of Ultra-Processed Foods18:02 Consumer Awareness and Education20:49 The Future of Food Consumption23:58 Cultural Shifts in Food Perception37:13 Raising Awareness on Food Safety38:04 The Complexity of Defining Health39:26 Evolving Perspectives on Nutrition41:01 Influencers vs. Experts in Health42:57 The Fragmentation of Media and Trust47:16 The Debate on Seed Oils48:47 Consumer Behavior vs. Intentions53:14 Using Research Effectively59:10 Personal Insights and Recommendations01:06:10 The Importance of Real FoodSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Standard Uranium Vice President of Exploration Sean Hillacre joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the successful completion of three ExoSphere Multiphysics survey grids at the company's flagship Davidson River Project in Saskatchewan's southwest Athabasca Basin. The surveys, executed in partnership with Fleet Space Technologies Canada, represent the first-ever deployment of the ExoSphere Multiphysics survey in this prolific uranium district. The program combines real-time 3D Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) and Horizontal-to-Vertical Spectral Ratio (HVSR) with ground gravity data to generate high-resolution, cover-corrected gravity models. Hillacre explained that the integration of these techniques will provide new geophysical data layers capable of detecting lithological variations, hydrothermal alteration zones, and key structural features associated with uranium mineralization. These refined datasets will significantly enhance targeting confidence across the Warrior, Bronco, and Thunderbird conductor corridors, which are set to be the focus of summer 2025 drilling. The advanced imaging and analysis are expected to de-risk exploration by improving the understanding of basement structures and mineralization controls, setting the stage for a technically focused and high-impact drill campaign. #proactiveinvestors #standarduraniumltd #tsxv #stnd #otcqb #sttdf #mining #uranium #sundogproject #UraniumExploration #AthabascaBasin #DavidsonRiver #MiningInnovation #Geophysics #AmbientNoiseTomography #ResourceInvesting #FleetSpace #UraniumDiscovery #MiningNews

A collaboration between Aston University in the UK and RAD Global will help small farmers in East Africa keep food fresher for longer, preventing food waste and improving livelihoods. Working with other partners they have developed pioneering cold storage boxes which can keep food fresh without access to grid electricity. Affordable cold boxes for small farmers in East Africa Whilst working in Uganda, Tim Messeder, founder of UK agricultural development company RAD Global, noticed that small scale fishers in Uganda had a major problem keeping fish fresh. The African country is large, and this causes an issue in keeping fish fresh in the blistering heat after it is caught from Lake Victoria and from various fishponds spread around the country in remote locations. The fishers, many of whom are women, have to transport their catch for up to nine hours during which time their harvest goes off. Surveys across the region reveal that 42% of traders experience fish spoilage due to inadequate cooling, resulting in lost income and increased food insecurity. To help prevent waste Tim drew up a plan for a cool box that could keep fish fresh for up to 48 hours, could be transported on the back of a motorcycle and was affordable to people on very low incomes. He contacted Aston University and between the two they developed his idea into the prototype now known as RADiCool, which aims to extend the safe selling window for fish from 12 to 24 hours. The prototype development was supported by the Efficiency for Access Research and Development Fund. The RADiCool system features a lightweight, insulated cold box powered by advanced phase change material (PCM) and integrated internet of things (IoT) technology for real-time temperature and GPS monitoring. The innovative system cools fish from 25°C to refrigeration temperatures within four hours and maintains cold storage conditions for over 24 hours, without additional pre-cooling capacity. Purpose-built to fit on motorbikes - the primary transport mode for rural vendors - RADiCool is practical, scalable, and tailored to first and last mile delivery needs in resource-constrained settings. PCM technology is an environmentally friendly solution for maintaining cooling temperatures. The materials absorb and release energy as they transition from solid to liquid and back again, similar to the process of ice melting and refreezing. These specially designed PCMs can maintain a consistent cold temperature for extended periods without the need for continuous electricity. This makes them particularly suitable for transporting food, medicine, and other temperature-sensitive items in an energy-efficient way. The PCM panels for RADiCool are frozen in solar-powered hubs for later use in precooling and storing the fish at the desired temperature. Tim Messeder said: "RADiCool brings together cutting-edge technology while taking into account the challenging realities of the African context. "We are committed to empowering small-scale traders with sustainable solutions that reduce waste and improve livelihoods." The project's success marks a major step forward in addressing the cold chain gap in Africa's informal food markets. Through field testing and technical iteration, the team has developed a system that can function effectively off-grid, supporting food security and economic resilience in the face of climate and infrastructure challenges. RAD Global and Aston University are now focusing on scaling and commercialisation. Planned next steps include finalising the new special design PCM panels, partnering with manufacturers, expanding field trials, and deploying a pay-per-use business model to increase accessibility. Ongoing collaboration with other partners (ThinkAqua UK, Therma-Inova UK and Dulotrop Uganda) will ensure further staff training, impact evaluation, and long-term sustainability. "RADiCool demonstrates the power of cross-sector innovation in addressing global development challenges," said Dr Ahm...

The National Weather Service has confirmed the severe storm that struck Beltrami County in late June was a so-called microburst.

Surveys consistently show people want to age in their current home. Yet homeownership is costly for older adults of modest means, especially those still paying off their mortgage and living on fixed incomes. That hardship can be exacerbated, too, by additional medical or disability needs. We'll hear more as part of our Buy Now Pay Later project, produced in partnership with Next Avenue, a nonprofit news platform for older adults produced by Twin Cities PBS. But first: The Senate is coming off an all-nighter, and stocks rebounded remarkably this past quarter.

During this podcast we start a short series on drone surveying for wildlife population surveys. the more data you have about the wild free ranging deer herd that you have, the better a herd manager you can be. Part 1 is going to talk about the methodology behind a thermal drone survey and why they are effective! In addition, we talk about the journey we took to best understand these surveys. To become the best managers, oftentimes we need to embrace technology and the opportunities that these advancements can provide while still remaining honest about their limitations or the skills or lack of skills of a drone operator. We talk in length about the pros and cons of this technology and surveying technique as we compare it to pellet surveys, trail camera surveys, and more. Tune in next week as we reveal more about the future of drone surveys and how you may be able to get our eyes on your herd to guide you in becoming a better herd manager through thermal drone surveying.

What do car dealership surveys, goldfish, and chatbots have in common? They all come up in this episode of Intellicast, where Brian and Mary sit down with Lorin Drake, a Consumer Insights Strategist at Publix, to discuss all things respondent experience. It is a refreshingly honest discussion about what's broken in the world of survey design—and how to potentially fix it. The episode begins with Lorin delving into his background, explaining how he got into market research and ultimately ended up at Publix. Lorin then shares highlights from his IIeX presentation, “Surveys are Dead, Long Live Surveys.” This leads into a larger conversation about how improving the respondent experience can improve data quality. Lorin lays out a path forward, including short LOIs, gamified surveys, more engaging question types, and additional features – all of which contribute to a more human-centric approach to data collection. A few key takeaways: Survey fatigue is real: Response rates are falling, especially for surveys over 10 minutes. Completion rates have dropped as much as 13 points in the past decade. We're losing the attention war: The average human attention span has fallen to 8 seconds, shorter than a goldfish. If your survey can't compete with TikTok, it won't survive. Gamification works: Lauren highlights a study where a visually enhanced survey took longer to complete but was perceived as shorter and far more enjoyable. Chatbots show promise: Compared to traditional surveys, AI-driven conversational surveys yielded higher completion rates, longer engagement times, and richer open-ended responses. Brands must lead the change: As Lorin puts it, “Would you take your own survey?” If not, don't expect respondents to do it for you. The push for better experiences must start with the people funding the research. Don't miss this one if you care about data quality, respondent fatigue, or fixing bloated, boring surveys.

On today's podcast: 1) President Trump declares a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, but Israel is accusing Iran of breaching it. President Trump declared the ceasefire after a night of attacks, saying Iran had "gotten it out of their system" and thanking Tehran for giving early notice of their missile strike on a US air base in Qatar. Israel agreed to the truce as long as Iran did not launch further attacks, and the Iranian government signaled it would abide by those terms, according to a senior White House official. 2) Voters in New York head to the polls for the Democratic Mayoral Primary. Polls open at 6 am on Tuesday and voters will choose from 11 candidates who are running for the official Democratic ticket. Surveys show the contest is expected to come down to former Governor Andrew Cuomo and New York State Assembly member, Zohran Mamdani. 3) President Trump blasts Jay Powell again hours before the Fed chair speaks to Congress. Powell will testify before the House Financial Services Committee and the Senate Banking Committee this week, explaining why interest rates will likely remain steady until at least September. In a post on social media, President Trump says he hopes Congress b"really works" Powell over for not lowering rates already.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this podcast we discuss low-value care that has emerged from a decay in the specificity of the terms “cardiac arrest” and “cardiopulmonary resuscitation.” Patients who experience cardiac arrest in hospital are rarely more than a minute or two away from defibrillation. But the proportion of shockable rhythms in these patients is low as the heart has typically stopped after the decline of other systems. In such conditions, chest compressions are more likely to cause unnecessary trauma than improve survival outcomes. As retired UK palliative care physician Kathryn Mannix explains, “cardiac arrest” was originally reserved for unexpected events in relatively healthy individuals in the community. She says we need to separate this from the more progressive phenomenon that is better described as “natural dying”. There is also a semantic breakdown in the understanding of what “cardiopulmonary resuscitation” entails. Surveys of Australasian medical practitioners show that the majority consider CPR to include defibrillation and drugs not just chest compressions and ventilation. As a result, Do Not Attempt CPR orders get perceived as being “a stop sign” to other treatments that may be beneficial. We hear from the NZ-based authors of that research, cardiologist Dr Tammy Pegg, intensivist Dr Alex Psirides and palliative care physician Dr Kate Grundy. Chapters4:00 CPR for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest8:43 Overuse of CPR in hospitalised patients 20:08 Crude algorithms and failed conversations 40:17 Semantic confusion around what CPR entails 48:13 The midwifing of natural dyingGuestsDr Kathryn Mannix (www.kathrynmannix.com) Dr Tammy Pegg MRCP FRACP FC CANZ DPhil (Nelson Marlborough Hospital cardiology department) Dr Alex Psirides FCICM (Wellington Regional Hospital intensive care unit) Dr Kate Grundy FAChPM FRACP (Christchurch Hospital palliative care service; University of Otago)ProductionProduced by Mic Cavazzini DPhil.

Even though inflation has slowed, many Americans still feel that the cost of living is too high. Also, views on the economy are deeply divided by political affiliation. But here's what's really perplexing: Americans have been consistently bummed about the economy since 2008 regardless of who's in charge. We're looking at the polling data to understand. Then, J Michael Keyes is an experienced intellectual property trial attorney and an expert in consumer surveys used in legal cases. He has represented major brands in high-profile lawsuits. He teaches/writes about trademarks, advertising, and survey research. So... he's the perfect guest to explain how surveys can be used as legal evidence, especially in trademark cases. Our fun fact shows that Coca-Cola was students' favorite choice of drink in 1939, and a surprising amount chose milk!

BUFFALO, NY - June 13, 2025 – A new #review was #published in Volume 16 of Oncotarget on June 4, 2025, titled “Applying the unattainable triangle in cardio-oncology care: Balancing cost, quality, and time.” In this review, first author John Hoverson, corresponding author Stella Pak, and colleagues from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio explore how the “unattainable triangle”—a business concept describing the trade-offs between cost, quality, and time—can help improve healthcare delivery in cardio-oncology. As cancer treatments become more complex and often affect the heart, this model highlights the challenge of providing care that is fast, effective, and affordable. Cardio-oncology is an emerging field focused on preventing and managing heart problems caused by cancer therapies. The review explains that high-quality cancer care often requires advanced diagnostics and close collaboration between oncologists and cardiologists, which can drive up costs and time demands. Understanding how to balance these pressures is essential for delivering better outcomes for patients. Many cancer survivors face long-term cardiovascular complications due to their treatment. Early monitoring and intervention can reduce these risks. However, these improvements often come with financial burdens, especially when key tests are not covered by insurance. Meanwhile, both patients and clinicians must manage the burden of tight appointment schedules, long clinic visits, and increasing demands on their time. To improve care quality, the authors emphasize the need for interdisciplinary teamwork and ongoing education. Surveys show that many clinicians are still unfamiliar with cardio-oncology guidelines, which can compromise care. The review also highlights the potential for artificial intelligence and digital tools to streamline care delivery, reduce wait times, and support both patients and providers. Importantly, the authors point out that improving one area—such as quality—can come at the expense of others, like cost or time. They encourage healthcare systems to take a balanced approach, setting clear goals and using integrated care models that consider all three elements of the triangle together. “While a perfect model for managing the unattainable triangle may be simply that, ‘unattainable', investments in research, patient-centered care, data-driven decision-making, and financial alignment with payers will be crucial to the long-term success of both patient outcomes and the organization's profitability.” While achieving perfect balance may be difficult, the review suggests that using the unattainable triangle as a guiding framework can help hospitals and clinicians make smarter, more sustainable decisions. As cardio-oncology continues to expand in response to the growing number of cancer survivors with cardiovascular needs, this approach could help improve patient outcomes and strengthen healthcare systems.

A handful of reports on small businesses shows an optimism toward expansion and AI tools, but that sentiment is guarded by flat job growth, declining hourly wage growth, and 82% of those surveyed planning on securing a line of credit. One positive from the tax and spending bill is proposed changes to HSAs that expand coverage, which could help participation and recruitment.

In this episode, we delve into the changing landscape of teen employment, noting a significant decline in the percentage of teens working since the late 1970s. Recent statistics reveal a slight recovery post-pandemic, with around 38% of teens aged 16 to 19 actively seeking jobs as of May 2024. Surveys indicate that part-time work is beneficial for youth, helping them understand budgeting and financial responsibility. Join us as we discuss these themes and share insights on how to support children in their financial journeys.

Organizations often rely on sporadic guest surveys to gather feedback, resulting in limited data and missed opportunities to enhance both the guest experience and operational performance. The challenge is not just about collecting data but about building meaningful relationships with guests at scale. In this episode, Matt and Josh talk about how automating surveys can go beyond data collection to drive engagement, service recovery, and even revenue generation. Beyond the Data: Validating Assumptions “You probably can walk through your venue and say, here are some friction points... but if you gain a large quantity of guests who are also saying the same thing, it helps to justify when you are bringing this into saying, hey, we need to invest in x, y, z.” Even when assumptions about the guest experience seem obvious, large-scale feedback provides the validation needed to secure buy-in for improvements. Automated surveys ensure that decisions are supported by both intuition and data. Strengthening Engagement and Recovery Opportunities “Guests who do fill out a survey are allowing you the opportunity to continue the discussion about what went well with their experience and what fell below their expectation.” Matt and Josh highlight that automated surveys keep the conversation going after a visit, giving guests an outlet to share both praise and complaints. This proactive approach helps capture issues before they escalate to public reviews, increasing satisfaction and creating service recovery opportunities. Optimizing the Feedback Loop for Real-Time Insights “If surveys are automated, then you've got a continuous stream of data... you're getting the real-time feedback from the guest.” Automating surveys provides a steady flow of data, enabling venues to monitor the impact of operational changes in real time. This agile feedback loop allows teams to fine-tune guest experience strategies without waiting for periodic surveys. Leveraging Surveys for Reviews and Revenue “Your survey collection should be a revenue-generating source because you are strengthening the relationship with your guests.” Josh and Matt discuss how surveys can be used to direct promoters toward online reviews, boosting search visibility, while also offering targeted upsells like memberships or bounce-back discounts—turning surveys into a marketing and revenue tool. Building Relationships at Scale “When you're building that positive relationship, it's now less of a chore for that guest to maybe give you feedback and it's more of part of a conversation that you're having.” The core message can be summarized with a single word: relationship. By reframing surveys as a relationship-building tool rather than just a data collection exercise, operators can create deeper connections with guests at scale, making the process feel more personal and less transactional.   What methods are you using to build guest relationships through surveys?

In a recent paper published in Nature Astronomy entitled “Surveys of the scientific community on the existence of extraterrestrial life”  Dr. Peter Vickers and his team of 10 co-authors report the results  of their survey of the lead authors for the past 10 years in the top three astro-biological journals.  These researchers sought to measure if their sample group of scientists thought it likely that 1) simple life,  and/or 2 ) life more complex than terrestrial bacteria, and/or 3) Intelligent life comparable or superior to human beings exists outside of Earth.

Breeding waterfowl surveys do not predict mid-winter and migration surveys. Non-breeding season surveys have very specific objectives. They should not be compared to breeding waterfowl survey numbers. DrMike details why the USFWS breeding waterfowl and mid-winter surveys are Apples and Oranges…they are not comparable. DrMike goes off again! “I don't have ducks, but they predicted ducks”…TEARS. BooHoo……NOoooo, JUST, NO!. Nobody predicted ducks in front of your blind. Just get out and hunt ducks when the weather is right, just get out and hunt when The FowlWeather Podcast predicts fresh ducks. Learn more about the purpose of migration and mid-winter waterfowl surveys today on The FowlWeather Podcast.

The struggle seems real. Surveys show a growing disconnect from the church, and there's a stark decline in spiritual leaders, all while more people identify with no religion. You also wonder why you struggle so much with your own personal challenges. But instead of letting you live with the tension and suspense of what will happen amidst all this struggle, Jesus, who has a clear view of the future, spoils the ending by revealing the future of everyone who follows him.Where do you turn to overcome feelings of worthlessness, fear, depression, or anxiety?  Your self is the last place you should look. But God's help . . . that's a different story. In Amber Albee Swenson's new book, The Key to Confidence: Where to Go When You Feel You're Not Strong Enough, you'll discover how you can live with greater boldness and joy when you learn to find your confidence in Christ. God didn't make you to sit on the sidelines.

As creative entrepreneurs, we often find ourselves wondering what our audience wants—what they're thinking, needing, or hoping we'll create next. In this episode, I share one of the most powerful tools we use to stop guessing and start knowing: surveys. You'll hear exactly how we ask meaningful questions, the specific ones we rely on, and how we design surveys that lead to clear and confident decision-making. The episode begins with a funny (and humbling) story about a yacht surprise gone sideways. It's a lighthearted reminder of how important it is to ask the right questions before making decisions, whether big or small. From there, I walk through three detailed examples of how surveys have shaped key areas of our business this past year: email newsletters, product development, and live events. You'll learn how one simple survey question led to a major new feature in our Pattern Plus membership, how asking about newsletter cadence brought instant clarity, and how we use post-event feedback to improve each year's conference. I also share the framework we use to build surveys that are simple, specific, and impactful—along with the tools and practices that help us get great results. If you've ever felt unsure about what your audience wants or needs, this episode will show you just how easy and effective it can be to ask. You don't have to wonder. You just have to ask.
