2025 is done. Forty-eight episodes. Hundreds of guests. Endless banter between Rohin and Praveen.This year, Two by Two covered stories from Bengaluru to the world including business, tech, and everything in between. We didn't just stick to the usual. We asked about people, trends, and the things others weren't paying attention to. We brought on guests who didn't rehearse their answers and tried to make sense of things as they happened.Some episodes turned out to be prescient. Some were messy. Some sparked arguments in our inbox. All of them tried to do what we set out to do: spot hidden connections, ask unasked questions, and figure out what's really going on.This final episode is Rohin looking back at six moments from the year with clips from conversations that stood out. Between each one, he adds context and some behind-the-scenes perspective on why it mattered.Here are the episodes featured:Episode 26: Zomato, Swiggy, and the rise of the 10-minute "dark" caféEpisode 31: Airtel fights spammers. And Truecaller's business modelEpisode 47: Who broke Bengaluru, and how do we fix our cities?Episode 50: In an AI age, India does not have an open source strategyEpisode 51: The invisible whale that capsized India's leaky options boatsEpisode 66: What will bring ambition back from the dead?To everyone who listened, argued with us, sent guest suggestions, or just stuck around, thank you. Next year, we're coming back with everything that makes Two by Two what it is, but bigger and better. Maybe even a few surprises. Stay tuned.There won't be an episode next Thursday. We will return on January 8th, 2026.See you in the new year.________This episode was produced by Uddantika Kashyap and mixed and mastered by Rajiv CN, our resident sound engineer.If you liked this episode of Two by Two, please share it with your friends, family and colleagues who would be interested in listening.

Please join my mailing list to get FREE notes and resources from this show, plus your chance to win a real meteorite: http://briankeating.com/yt Join us LIVE with Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb for the final verdict on the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, the third confirmed visitor from beyond our solar system. We examine the newly proposed 14th anomaly: the remarkably rare alignment of 3I/ATLAS's rotation axis within about 8 degrees of the sunward direction at distances greater than 5 AU, a configuration with a probability of less than about 0.5 percent if random. This alignment has major implications for how we interpret the object's anti-tail jet geometry, rotational dynamics, and overall physical behavior, adding to a growing list of anomalies that strain standard cometary explanations. Whether you are interested in jets, rotation periods, anti-tail physics, or what these observations imply about natural versus technological origins, this livestream offers a rigorous, evidence-driven deep dive. We will lay out the data, compare competing interpretations, and ask the central question: is 3I/ATLAS simply an unusual comet, or something fundamentally different? - Run of Show 00:00 – 02:00 Intro and context: Discovery of 3I/ATLAS, orbital properties, and why it has drawn intense attention. 02:00 – 05:00 What is an interstellar object: Comparison with 1I/Oumuamua and 2I/Borisov. 05:00 – 10:00 Anomalies 1 through 5: Brief recap of the earliest reported oddities, including trajectory and activity. 10:00 – 15:00 Anti-tail observations and physics: Explanation of the sunward anti-tail and why it is unusual. 15:00 – 20:00 Rotation period and periodic behavior: Discussion of the roughly 15.5 to 16.2 hour signal and its interpretation. 20:00 – 25:00 Recap of the first 13 anomalies: How they are ranked by likelihood and what they suggest. 25:00 – 30:00 The 14th anomaly: rotation-axis alignment: Geometry, probability estimates, and why this feature stands out. 30:00 – 35:00 Possible mechanisms for axis alignment: Assessment of natural processes versus alternative explanations. 35:00 – 40:00 Jet collimation and structure: Why the sunward jet remains narrow and persistent. 40:00 – 45:00 Implications for outgassing models: Where standard cometary physics succeeds or fails. 45:00 – 50:00 Natural versus non-natural scenarios: Clear comparison of competing hypotheses. 50:00 – 55:00 Future observations and missions: What additional data could resolve the debate. 55:00 – 60:00 Audience Q and A: Live questions with Avi Loeb. 60:00 – 65:00 Wrap-up and final thoughts: Synthesis of the evidence and implications for future research.

EP 11:14 When Vendor Advice Goes Wrong: Why Your Marketing Team Needs Car Sales Experience

Play Episode Listen Later Dec 9, 2025 60:00

In this episode of the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, Sean V. Bradley sits down with longtime industry strategist Troy Spring to discuss the evolving state of automotive advertising. With nearly four decades in the business, Troy brings a perspective shaped by experience, data, and a deep understanding of what truly moves the needle for dealerships! "I've never seen anything work better than direct mail ever." - Troy Spring From traditional marketing channels to modern digital ecosystems, the conversation explores how dealers think about their market, their budget, and the strategies that shape their advertising decisions. Sean and Troy examine the realities dealerships face today, from vendor relationships to the role of in-house marketing leadership, and why understanding your market is more important now than ever! "It's a chess match. It's not just advertising. It's about looking at everything holistically." - Troy Spring This episode challenges assumptions, reframes how dealers view their advertising spend, and offers a candid look at the mindset needed to succeed in a competitive landscape. If you're a Dealer, General Manager, marketing manager, or anyone responsible for driving traffic and generating opportunities… this is a conversation you'll want to hear firsthand! Tune in to learn how top operators are rethinking their advertising journey, and why the next evolution of automotive marketing starts with clarity, strategy, and control! Key Takeaways: ✅ Direct mail remains one of the most effective traditional advertising methods for car dealerships, often outperforming digital strategies. ✅ To optimize marketing spend, dealers need to focus on their immediate market area before expanding efforts to broader markets. ✅ Understanding and calculating the true cost-per-sale involves more than just the simple division of ad spend by cars sold. ✅ Dealerships should ensure their marketing managers have both automotive sales experience and technical knowledge in digital marketing certifications. ✅ Successful dealer strategies often include a mix of both traditional and digital marketing methods, customized to their specific market needs. About Troy Spring Troy Spring, Co-founder of Dealer World, is an automotive industry veteran with nearly 40 years of experience! He sold his first car at the age of 18 and rose quickly within the ranks to manage dealerships, including leading a four-store group as a platform manager. In 2009, Troy founded Dealer World, a boutique advertising agency specializing in driving traffic and sales strategy for car dealerships. He later co-founded Dealer Funnel, focusing on nurturing leads for better conversion rates. Known for his innovative approach and in-depth understanding of both traditional and digital automotive marketing, Troy is highly respected in the industry! Disrupting Auto Dealership Strategies: Insights from Industry Experts Key Takeaways Dealers must focus on securing their local market before venturing into new territories to maximize profitability. A holistically-managed marketing plan, customizable per dealership's needs, outperforms cookie-cutter OEM vendor solutions. Successful dealership marketing relies on understanding both traditional and digital advertising fundamentals. The Importance of Protecting Your Primary Market Area (PMA) In the fast-paced world of automotive dealerships, focusing on expansion without reinforcing the existing customer base can be a recipe for inefficiency. Sean V. Bradley, president of Dealer Synergy, suggests a foundational strategy: focus on protecting your primary market area first. Bradley asserts that many dealers overlook the rich opportunities available locally. "It's interesting," Bradley remarks, "we'll sit with a dealer, and they'll say, 'I got to go after XYZ down the street,' when they should be protecting their backyard first." This discussion highlights that the inclination to conquest rather than consolidate can lead to a dilute marketing focus. The result? Dealers potentially miss out on higher return-on-investment (ROI) opportunities domestically. Bradley's recommendation to analyze the pump-in, pump-out report is a strategic reminder to first solidify one's standing locally. This approach not only optimizes ROI but also reduces advertising costs associated with pursuing less familiar, distant markets. Taking Bradley's advice to heart, a dealership can enjoy the double benefit of deepening customer loyalty while also enhancing word-of-mouth marketing locally. Through focusing efforts on holding on to current clientele before aggressively targeting competitors', dealerships can achieve a more sustainable, profitable growth model. Crafting a Custom Marketing Strategy: Beyond OEM and Vendor Scripts Both Bradley and Troy Spring, founder of Dealer World, make compelling cases against the dependency on prescribed OEM and vendor-driven tactics. Amid the rising challenges facing automotive dealerships, they argue for a bespoke marketing strategy that's adaptable to each dealership's unique environment. Spring states, "You have to be with someone who can think holistically because if you're on with linear OEM vendors, you're just gonna get told why you should continue to do more and more of what it is that they sell." Such insights underscore the limitations of formulaic marketing solutions. While OEMs often push for uniformity—to simplify their nationwide branding and operations—dealerships must vigilantly evaluate these suggestions. Bradley underscores a critical point, proposing that dealers risk spending thousands unnecessarily on ineffective lead generation strategies because they blindly follow OEM guidance. The conversation dives into the economics of advertising. Bradley shared, "I've got a dealer group spending $70,000 on a splash page generating just a few hundred leads each month." This statistic serves as a caution against the pitfalls of not closely scrutinizing advertising expenditures versus results. It's essential for dealerships to cultivate an advertising strategy where each segment, from pay-per-click (PPC) to SEO and database marketing, functions as an integrated system rather than disparate efforts. This avoids the trap of bloated expenses disguised within bundled packages, which can negate perceived savings with reduced effectiveness. Bridging Traditional and Digital Advertising for Maximum Impact The discussion also delves into appreciating the coexistence of traditional and digital advertising within dealership marketing, which offers a nuanced approach to driving traffic. One standout revelation from Troy Spring? The effectiveness of direct mail. Although often regarded as an antiquated medium, Spring asserts, "Nothing has ever worked better than direct mail." It's a thought-provoking declaration in an era rich with digital solutions. Contrary to perceived obsolescence, traditional methods such as direct mail remain relevant, especially when optimized with the latest data analytics techniques. Properly targeted, a traditional medium can reach high potential customers directly and personally. Given the inundation of digital ads, a physical piece of mail stands out, often carrying more weight. Spring further suggests that while digital tools, like social media and search engine marketing (SEM), play critical roles in modern strategies, their effectiveness hinges heavily on their synergy with traditional advertising channels. These multifaceted campaigns leverage the strengths of both domains—ability to track and personalize digital ads with the tangible and trust-building potential of offline methods. Emphasizing on integrative approaches that couple interactive digital platforms with traditional media allows dealerships to engage in comprehensive advertising strategies personalized to consumer behavior trends. Through harmonizing these forces, a dealership's presence is effectively cemented in the market, leveraging the best aspects of each medium. A Synthesis of Strategy and Practice The insights shared by Sean V. Bradley and Troy Spring showcase a wealth of expertise in crafting dealership marketing strategies that balance innovative thinking with foundational business tenets. As dealerships navigate the complexities of an ever-evolving industry landscape, these professionals emphasize the necessity for both strategic foresight and a command over advertising mechanics. Essentially, the most adept dealerships will be those that recognize the imperative to protect their primary markets while scaling responsibly. They explore bespoke advertising solutions beyond OEM packages, integrating digital dexterity with traditional marketing. Each dollar spent should be scrutinized for its ROI, as the measure of an effective advertisement goes beyond impressions or clicks to the tangible growth it champions for the dealership. In an industry as competitive as automotive sales, this layered, integrated approach becomes the solutions beacon through transformative, modern advertising challenges.

“The best ideas in drug discovery were often blocked not by biology, but by synthesis,” Boiko told TechCrunch. Synthesis is the creation of new molecules by using chemical reactions. It's like a recipe or Lego pieces, where small pieces, ingredients, molecules, come together to form a wider puzzle picture, a food dish, a larger molecule. Learn more about your ad choices.

What will bring ambition back from the dead?

The popular narrative often blames Gen Z for a lack of ambition, but is it the millennials who are truly suffering from “ambition fatigue”?This week on Two by Two, the conversation takes its lead from The Ken's deputy editor, Arundhati Ramanathan's recent and concerning article, “Indian Tech Companies are Spawning an Ambitionless Generation”.Hosts Rohin Dharmakumar and Praveen Gopal Krishnan sit down to discuss how to solve this cross-generational problem and bring the “fire back in the belly”, with or without burning the midnight lamp. They explore the striking ambition gap between driven founders/CEOs and their often-indifferent employees. Is this growing apathy a fault of the corporate environment and a lack of opportunity, or is the responsibility for finding purpose solely on the individual?Can the corporate world reignite ambition, and can it truly rise from the dead?

What is the “listing pop” that everyone is chasing, and does it still matter six months later? This simple question is the starting point for a deep look into the current boom in the Indian Initial Public Offering (IPO) market. Despite a massive influx of investor wealth, the standards for companies going public have significantly dropped. In this episode of Two by Two, co-hosts Rohin Dharmakumar and Praveen Gopal Krishnan are joined by their colleagues, The Ken's finance editor, Anand Kalyanaraman, and deputy editor, Seetharaman G to explore how the initial “IPO event” relates to a company's long-term performance.

What's the dumbest thing about hospitals that we still tolerate in 2025? This simple question kicks off a deep dive into the broken core of the Indian healthcare system. From confusing X-ray pricing and misaligned incentives that prioritise “sick-care” over healthcare, to the irritating experience of endless queues and fragmented records, the problems are deeply entrenched in the system. In this episode of Two by Two, co-hosts Praveen Gopal Krishnan and Rohin Dharmakumar talk to two founders who are not just trying to patch the system, but rebuild it from the ground up. Varun Dubey of Superhealth and Mayank Banerjee of Even Healthcare are both creating smaller, hyperlocal, and experience-focused hospitals. They break down how they're unbundling the bloated cost structures of traditional hospitals, redesigning the patient journey, and realigning incentives by putting doctors on full-time salaries with ESOPs. The conversation explores the difficulty of disrupting the current healthcare system and the challenges of scaling innovative models that prioritise patient well-being and affordability.

The Real Reason America Is Turning from God with Pastor Lucas MilesEpisode Description:In this powerful continuation of The Pagan Threat series, Pastor Lucas Miles unpacks how the Hegelian dialectic—thesis, antithesis, and synthesis—has become the engine driving America's moral and cultural drift.From the shift away from a constitutional republic to the erosion of biblical values, Lucas exposes how conflict is strategically manufactured to advance ideological change. He explains how this same dialectic now shapes conversations around marriage, gender, government, and even the church itself.Lucas confronts the rise of modern paganism and goddess worship, showing how ancient spirits of rebellion—Asherah, Diana, and Gaia—have reemerged in pop culture and progressive spirituality. Drawing from Scripture and history, he traces the spiritual roots of feminism, socialism, and radical environmentalism, connecting them to a single global agenda: to replace God with man-made utopia.You'll also hear Lucas explain the “master-slave dialectic” and how it fuels identity politics, feminism, and digital idolatry—from the sexual revolution to the rise of OnlyFans. His message is clear: every attempt to find identity apart from Christ leads to bondage.

A fellow traveler of the Frankfurt School, Sohn-Rethel argued that the social activity of commodity exchange involves a set of real abstractions that actually precede and give rise to the structure of human consciousness and its capacity for mental abstraction. This really puts Kant in his place: the supposedly pure reason of the transcendental subject is historically conditioned by the fact that at some point people started trading stuff with each other. It also means that after the communist revolution succeeds we'll have a totally new set of a priori categories with which to synthesize experience.

We discuss the importance of detailed referencing that lets practitioners verify sources and how reorganized rubrics have made remedies easier to find. Dr. Schroyens also explains how studying remedy families can reveal meaningful patterns that guide clearer, more confident prescribing.

A 1977 medical graduate of the State University of Gent in Belgium and a 1978 graduate of the Faculty for Homeopathy in London (MFHom), Dr. Schroyens has dedicated his life to advancing classical homeopathy. He founded and taught at the first Flemish School for Classical Homeopathy (VSU) in Gent, where he inspired generations of practitioners. As the Scientific Coordinator of the RadarOpus project and Editor of the world-renowned Synthesis Repertory, he has revolutionized homeopathic reference tools, transforming Kent's original repertory into a modern, multilingual database now published in more than eight languages. His groundbreaking work includes numerous books and publications, such as 1001 Small Remedies and Arzneimittelbilder von Gemüt und Träume, and the globally used Synthesis – Repertorium Homeopathicum Syntheticum. For over four decades, Dr. Schroyens has lectured extensively across Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Africa, sharing his deep knowledge of repertorization, provings, and homeopathic software.

#380: The AI Writing Debate — Moving From False Dichotomies to Creative Synthesis

High-Income Business Writing

Play Episode Listen Later Sep 10, 2025 56:48

The conversation around AI and writing is heating up. But too often, it's framed as a false choice: AI is either “bad” and deceptive, or it's the ultimate shortcut to productivity. In this solo episode, I challenge that binary thinking and unpack the real issues at stake for freelance writers. Sparked by a provocative LinkedIn post from Mariya Delano, CEO of Kalyna Marketing, this discussion dives into the myths and misconceptions that keep us stuck in unproductive debates. I lay out 10 false assumptions fueling the AI writing controversy. And I explain why the future belongs to freelancers who can master what I call “creative synthesis,” which is the ability to skillfully combine human judgment, lived experience, taste, and AI capabilities into something far greater than either could achieve alone. If you've been wondering how to navigate the AI conversation with clients — or how to position yourself to thrive in an AI-enhanced world — this episode will give you the clarity and confidence you need. What You'll Learn Why binary debates about AI (“good” vs. “bad”) miss the bigger picture The 10 false assumptions about AI that are holding writers back How to reframe AI as a tool for amplification (not deception!) The concept of Creative Synthesis and why it's the skill that will set you apart The four phases of Creative Synthesis mastery and how to progress through them Key Insights and Takeaways AI doesn't equal deception: Like Grammarly or Google, it's a tool. What matters is how you use it and whether you're transparent. Not all AI is the same: There's a vast spectrum of use cases, from research to brainstorming to drafting, and lumping them all together is misleading. Clients care about results, not process: What builds trust is consistent, high-value outcomes. It's not about whether AI played a role behind the scenes. Creative Synthesis is the future: The winning freelancers will be those who can blend AI capabilities with strategic insight, emotional intelligence, and client understanding. Action Steps You Can Take This Week Audit your AI beliefs: Which of the 10 assumptions have you unconsciously bought into? Experiment intentionally: Spend 30 minutes testing a new AI workflow for creativity and strategy, not just for efficiency. Develop your AI policy: Be ready to discuss openly with clients how (if at all) you use AI in your process. Shift your mindset: Stop asking “AI vs. no AI?” and start asking, “How can I combine AI with my skills to deliver extraordinary value?” Memorable Soundbites “The debate isn't AI good or AI bad. The real question is: how will you use it to create something that only you can?” “Using AI doesn't make you less original. What makes your work original is the judgment, taste, and perspective only you bring.” “The freelancers who thrive won't be the ones avoiding AI or blindly copy-pasting it. To thrive in the years ahead you'll need to master Creative Synthesis.” Listener Challenge This week, pick one client project (current or past) and ask yourself: Where could AI have enhanced my process—not replaced me, but amplified my creativity, speed, or strategic value? Then take one small step to test that approach in your next project. If this episode resonated, share it with a fellow freelancer navigating the AI conversation. And don't forget to subscribe so you never miss an episode packed with insights to help you earn more in less time... doing work you love, for better clients.

Molly also shares three practical ways to harness seasonal energy without falling into the trap of believing your progress has been erased.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy the Fresh Start Effect makes new seasons and beginnings feel so motivatingHow the Default Mode Network acts as your brain's internal narrator and helps you mark life chaptersThe difference between seasonal resets and the illusion of “starting over”How neuroplasticity ensures that every attempt, even slips, strengthens your brain's pathwaysThree science-backed strategies to make September resets stickKey Quote“Your brain loves fresh starts because it loves stories.
