Marlon and Jake explore the power of setting in novels—and why the best stories feel like they couldn't have happened anywhere else. They discuss settings that become characters in their own right, fictional worlds they'd love (or absolutely hate) to inhabit, and books that made unexpected places fascinating. Plus: why a modern-day Captain Nemo might just be a tech bro.

The next episode of A Collection Of… Spaces is with designer, maker and founder of Greater Goods, Jaimus Tailor.I visited Jaimus at his studio in Wood Green, North London, where Greater Goods has grown from a bedroom project into a multidisciplinary studio focused on textiles, workshops and creative collaborations.Our conversation explores Jaimus' fascination with understanding how things are made. From teaching himself to sew after buying his first machine on eBay, to taking apart garments to understand their construction, making has always been a way of learning.We also discuss the in person workshops that have become a core part of Greater Goods, creating accessible ways for people to discover making through sewing. Alongside client commissions and collaborative projects, we talk about Paperweight Club, a community based life drawing drawing club he started last year.Throughout the conversation we return to ideas of curiosity, constraint and experimentation, reflecting on how limitations often lead to better creative outcomes, why understanding process creates a deeper appreciation for the objects around us, and how different ways of making reveal different ways of thinking.Enjoy!https://www.greatergoods.online/https://www.instagram.com/greater.goodshttps://www.instagram.com/jaimus_- - -If you would like to contribute to this series then please feel free to get in touch.

Most business coaches hand you a box and tell you to fit inside it. Maggie does something different.In this episode, Maggie pulls back the curtain on the philosophy behind the Sustainable Scale System — why she built it, how it works (showcasing three different client stories), and why the same proven framework produces completely different starting points for every client she works with.If you've ever wondered how Maggie actually works with her clients — this is the episode to listen to.What You'll Learn:Why most business owners unknowingly piece together disconnected strategies and why that keeps them stuckThe difference between a holistic business framework and a rigid one-size-fits-all formulaThe research-backed reason your business can only grow as far as your thinking can growWhy being too prescriptive as a coach can actually hurt clients, and what Maggie does insteadHow the same system produced completely different starting points for three very different clientsWhat never changes across every client Maggie works with, and what always adaptsWhy scaling without systems is one of the most common and costly mistakes service-based business owners makeResources & Links Mentioned:

Day 4: Engage StakeholdersSuccessful project leadership depends on more than creating plans and tracking progress. Project managers must actively identify the people and groups who can influence the project, understand their interests, and build productive relationships throughout the project lifecycle.In this session, we examine how to identify and analyze stakeholders, assess their level of influence, interest, expectations, and potential impact, and tailor communication to meet their specific needs. We also explore how to execute the stakeholder engagement plan, address competing priorities, and maintain alignment between stakeholder expectations and project objectives.You will learn how to build trust, strengthen relationships, manage resistance, and influence stakeholders without relying solely on formal authority. The goal is to create meaningful engagement that supports collaboration, improves decision-making, reduces misunderstandings, and helps the project achieve its intended outcomes.Key areas covered:• Identify stakeholders• Analyze stakeholder influence, interests, and expectations• Tailor communication to stakeholder needs• Execute the stakeholder engagement plan• Align stakeholder needs, expectations, and project objectives• Build trust and influence stakeholders• Address resistance and competing priorities• Maintain stakeholder support throughout the projectJoin us for Day 4 of 40 Days to PMP Exam Success 2026 as we connect stakeholder engagement concepts to realistic PMP exam scenarios and practical project leadership.Want to create live streams like this?

In this episode, Karl Bryan and Rode Dog dive deep into frameworks for defining a higher-level business purpose, identifying your ideal client as a coach, and the essential systems for building profitable, exitable businesses. They break down practical metrics like Customer Health Score, offer motivation frameworks, and close with a powerful reminder about the value of patience and compounding progress in coaching. Key Topics Covered Defining a Higher-Level Business Purpose Karl Bryan shares a step-by-step framework using Microsoft, Amazon, and Apple as examples: Solve a problem first, then clearly define vision, mission, and principles (07:04). Even service businesses like landscapers or candlestick makers can use this process to create meaning and motivation for owners and their teams. Identifying Your Ideal Coaching Client Rode Dog challenges the overuse of "ideal client," leading Karl Bryan to clarify that your ideal client is often a reflection of yourself five years ago (12:04). Look for clients who spend money on business growth—new Chamber or BNI members, those advertising actively, sponsorships, and local award winners. Target those in the growth stage, not just the biggest businesses. Building Exitable, Profitable Businesses Most small businesses (80–95%) are "unexitable" due to being unprofitable, unsystematized, or too owner-reliant (20:23). Framework: Focus on profitability, systemization, and reducing owner dependence. The goal isn't just selling, but creating a business you "could sell tomorrow but don't want to." The "operating system" concept is vital—constantly improve 12 key profit areas for compounding results. Customer Metrics & Delivering Real Client Value Karl Bryan drills into tracking customer success with metrics like Customer Health Score (frequency, breadth, depth) and Time to Value (TTV) (29:17). Start client engagement with tactical quick wins to drive ROI immediately—utility wins loyalty. The best time to ask for referrals is at emotional inflection points of client success, not set dates. The Four Forces That Motivate People Freedom, money, status (or mastery), and relationships drive all motivation (34:00). Identify what truly motivates your coaching clients and prospects—what would devastate them if lost? Tailor your communication and solutions accordingly. On Compounding, Patience, and Long-Term Success Karl Bryan closes with an extended "moment of Zen" on why delayed gratification, monotony, and patience are the greatest advantages in a world chasing quick wins (44:14). Compounding applies to actions and habits, not just money. Consistency and training (not just studying) are rewarded. "Be Santa Claus, not the Grinch"—give first, build trust, and avoid the social media "flex" game. Notable Quotes "All impressive businesses start with solving a problem, then go vision, mission, principles." — Karl Bryan (07:24) "Your ideal client is you, five years ago." — Karl Bryan (14:08) "Easiest thing in the world to sell is money at a discount." — Karl Bryan (18:03) "If you want to build a great company, build a great product. If you want to be a great business coach, get results for your clients at a ridiculous level." — Karl Bryan (26:04) "Winners concentrate on winning, losers concentrate on winners." — Karl Bryan (25:25) "Patience isn't just about waiting—every rational decision you make and every temptation you resist, those decisions compound." — Karl Bryan (45:01) Actionable Takeaways 1. Use the "Problem-Vision-Mission-Principles" Framework Apply this to every client's business—even small, local companies. It creates clarity and lasting motivation. 2. Seek Ideal Clients Who Invest in Growth Prioritize prospects who spend money to get leads: new members of Chambers/BNI, those buying ads, or entering awards. 3. Always Establish Start and Finish Lines Before coaching, define where clients are and where they want to go. The path in between becomes your engagement. 4. Track Customer Health Carefully Monitor client progress through usage metrics and Time to Value. Celebrate quick, tangible wins to build excitement and retention. 5. Don't Ask for Referrals Too Early Wait for moments of real success—emotional highs—before requesting introductions. 6. Tailor Your Motivation Techniques Identify if a client is driven by freedom, money, status, or relationships. Customize your approach for maximum impact. 7. Embrace Patience & Compounding Progress = small incremental gains repeated daily. Don't chase quick wins or compare your results to others' highlights.

In this episode of The Global Marketing Show, Wendy Pease speaks with Ekaterina Gorbacheva, Global Expansion Director at Udora, about the practical strategies behind scaling a marketplace into more than 50 countries while maintaining operational efficiency. Ekaterina explains that localization starts long before translation. Before investing heavily in a new market, her team validates demand using performance marketing, local partnerships, customer retention metrics, and demographic research. Rather than assuming a large market will succeed, Udora lets real customer behavior determine where to expand next. One of the most interesting insights is Udora's "marketing ladder." Markets with a small footprint receive focused, cost-effective marketing efforts, while mature markets receive larger investments across additional channels. This allows the company to scale strategically instead of spreading resources too thin. The conversation also explores the surprising opportunities created by multilingual advertising. Running ads in Portuguese within Spain, for example, reached the Brazilian community at a lower advertising cost than competing for Spanish-language keywords. Similar strategies have helped Udora uncover underserved audience segments around the world. Localization also extends deep into product development. Supporting multiple versions of English, adapting interfaces for right-to-left languages like Arabic, and recognizing when specialized translation partners are necessary all contribute to delivering a seamless customer experience. Ekaterina emphasizes that translation alone is never enough. User interfaces, legal documentation, checkout flows, and cultural expectations all require careful adaptation. Another key takeaway is the importance of organizational structure. While many companies assume they need large local teams in every country, Udora found greater success by centralizing marketing operations while using local expertise only where it provides the most value. Local account managers build relationships with merchants, while a centralized global marketing team maintains consistent branding, avoids duplicated work, and scales campaigns more efficiently across regions. The episode also highlights how cultural awareness can prevent costly marketing mistakes. A seemingly harmless Christmas campaign featuring champagne, for example, would have been inappropriate in the UAE. Experiences like these led Udora to develop internal cultural training so employees across departments understand regional sensitivities before launching campaigns. Artificial intelligence also plays an increasingly important role in Udora's expansion strategy. AI helps teams prototype new product concepts, test ideas faster, and improve operational efficiency, but it complements rather than replaces local market expertise and human decision-making. Throughout the discussion, Ekaterina reinforces one central message: successful international growth depends on understanding people, not just languages. Companies that combine localization, cultural intelligence, customer data, and scalable operations are far better positioned to enter new markets and build lasting global success. Key Takeaways Localization extends beyond translation to include culture, digital behavior, and customer expectations. Validate new markets with real customer data before making large investments. Tailor marketing investment based on market maturity instead of treating every country equally. Multilingual advertising can uncover lower-cost opportunities to reach international audiences. Centralized global marketing often scales better than building separate teams in every country. Local expertise remains essential for relationship building and cultural credibility. Product localization includes user interfaces, documentation, legal requirements, and user experience. Internal cultural training helps prevent costly marketing mistakes. AI accelerates testing and execution but does not replace local market knowledge. Sustainable global growth comes from balancing operational efficiency with authentic localization.

Ever worked on a project that felt like a complete disaster... only for leadership to call it a huge success? In Part 2 of our Mr. Beast series, Kim and Kate dig into the reported chaos behind Beast Games—from weather disasters and safety concerns to unhappy contestants, lawsuits, and production challenges. But here's the twist: despite all the problems, does the sponsor spin it as a win? If they did - would they be 'right?' This episode explores project sponsors, stakeholder management, risk management, and one uncomfortable truth many project managers eventually learn: success is often defined by the people funding the project—not the people doing the work. Kim and Kate unpack what happens when ambitious goals collide with reality, why sponsors often see projects differently than project managers, and why writing your own project post-mortem may be one of the most important leadership skills you can develop. Grab a drink and join us. Quotes from the Episode "Imagine that guy pouring down rain. He's in ankle deep water holding a 240 volt line over his head thinking, well, at least I'm getting paid for this." — Kate "Watch out for fixes that move the problem instead of solving it." — Kim Practical Takeaways When project scope or scale increases dramatically, bring in people who have experience operating at that level. Challenge proposed solutions by asking whether they solve the root cause or simply move the problem elsewhere. Escalate business-level risks back to leadership when leadership made the decision to accept those risks. Build post-mortems that document both successes and failures—not just one side of the story. Tailor project communication to sponsor priorities while still surfacing risks clearly and consistently. Closing Reflection A project can be operationally messy and still be considered a success by its sponsors. The question isn't just whether a project succeeded—but whose definition of success ultimately mattered.

Edtech Throwdown Episode 218: 12 Months of Impact: The Ultimate Student Engagement Roadmap Welcome to the EdTech Throwdown. This is Episode 218 called 12 Months of Impact: The Ultimate Student Engagement Roadmap. In this episode we'll talk about heritage and awareness month celebrations as the driving force behind meaningful and engaging lessons. Make your projects timely and more impactful with these creative ideas. This is another episode you don't want to miss, check it out.Segment 1:I recently was clicking around Canva and saw that april? Is national poetry month and that they were sponsoring a contest where students had to make a visual representation of a poem of their choice and submit it to the competition. Got me thinking … we have 12 months in each year, why not take advantage of them for classroom projects!General tip - research for competitions a few months before and then require your students participate as part of your class.Segment 2:September: Hispanic Heritage Month(Sept 15 – Oct 15)The Project:"Mosaic of Many Lands"The Goal:Students explore the diverse countries that make up Hispanic heritage. Each student or small group creates a "travel brochure" for a specific country, focusing on food, music, and traditions that have influenced global culture. Tailor it to your content area by asking for specific types of items to be featured in the brochure.Tech extension: CanvaOctober: National Arts & Humanities MonthThe Project:"The Community Story-Walk"The Goal:Students write a collaborative story where each person contributes one sentence and one illustration. Choose the topic of the story to fit your curriculum. The final story is posted page-by-page along a hallway or fence, allowing others to "walk" through the narrative.Tech extension: Boomwriter,Storyboardthat,bookcreatorNovember: Native American Heritage MonthThe Project:"Land Acknowledgement & Ecology Map"The Goal:Students research the Indigenous tribes original to their specific geographic area. They create a map that focuses on the natural landmarks (rivers, flora, fauna, geological features) that were historically significant to those tribes, connecting history with the environment.Tech side: Make it interactive with QR code audio narrations,thinklinkDecember: Universal Human Rights MonthThe Project:"The Kindness Advent Calendar"The Goal:The group creates a countdown to the end of the year where every day reveals a small, "no-cost" act of service (e.g., "Write a thank-you note to a custodian," or "Invite someone new to sit with you").Tech extension: Film some of the acts being completed and edit them into a large social media inspired videoWeVideo,Canva VideoGoogle VidsJanuary: National Mentoring MonthThe Project:"The Advice Exchange"The Goal:Students are paired with someone from a different grade level (older or younger). They create a "Survival Guide" for their current grade or a "Letter to My Future Self" to share with their partner, fostering a culture of peer-to-peer support.TIME CAPSULETech extension: Turn this into a lesson on AI ethics. Ask an approved edtech tool to generate these prompts before students begin. Then ask the Ss to discuss what they notice.

This milestone 400th—and final—episode of SaaS Fuel brings clarity to what's broken with outbound, why most companies blend into the noise, and how founders can actually futureproof their pipeline. Jeff Mains is joined by Mohan Muthoo, founder of Spring Drive—a go-to-market lab for B2B teams in fiercely competitive markets. Together, they break down why more signals, tools, and AI aren't solving real outbound problems (and might be quietly killing your reply rates). Mohan shares a hard-hitting playbook for rethinking outbound, segmenting intelligently, and crafting messaging with genuine resonance. If you're still spray-and-praying, this episode hands you the megaphone—with exactly what to say.Jeff Mains also announces the evolution of SaaS Fuel into Futureproof Founder, a show dedicated to helping founder-led companies build and last in a changing world.Key Takeaways00:00 Podcast journey and personal growth04:14 Understanding Sustainable Company Growth06:44 Starting the Spring Drive agency11:26 Differentiating and refining campaign strategy15:21 Thinking About AI Personalization18:07 Building trust in outbound marketing20:53 The pitfalls of personalization marketing23:12 Understanding Messaging in Sales Funnels27:07 Importance of message market fit32:18 Optimizing marketing and sales offers33:45 Email testing best practices37:38 Rethinking market segmentation40:24 Understanding Email Deliverability44:13 Conveying product simplicity48:42 Evaluating Messaging and Offers52:26 Show wrap-up and special announcement53:54 Podcast format and episode topicsTweetable Quotes“If your outbound message looks like everyone else's, expect nothing but silence.”“Real personalization means offering what they truly want—not just what you found on LinkedIn.”“The tools don't cook the meal, you do.

Gajraj Rao — the actor who waited 25 years for Bollywood to notice him — sits down with Gaurav Arora on xMonks Drive for his most honest interview yet. Best known for his National Award and Filmfare Award-winning role as Jeetendra Kaushik in Badhaai Ho, Gajraj Rao opens up about his journey from a railway colony in Rajasthan to Delhi theatre to becoming one of Hindi cinema's most loved character actors.In this episode, Gajraj Rao talks about his early struggles before fame — working as a tailor, writing for newspapers for a few hundred rupees, and getting rejected at hundreds of auditions alongside actors who are now household names. He shares rare, personal stories from the set of Bandit Queen with Shekhar Kapur, his 40-year friendship with Manoj Bajpayee, and an unforgettable backstage memory from their theatre days together. He also opens up about his father, the quiet lessons he learned at home, and how that shaped the man and actor he became.Gajraj Rao reflects on his chemistry with Neena Gupta in Badhaai Ho, the hardest scene he ever shot, his preparation process as an actor, and his sharp, unfiltered opinion on what it really means to be a "character actor" versus a star in Hindi cinema. He also speaks about his decades-long career in advertising filmmaking that quietly supported him through his most uncertain years, and the one principle he says he never compromised on — his self-respect.This conversation covers his most celebrated films and shows — Badhaai Ho, Talvar, Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan, Maidaan, Dabba Cartel, Dupahiya — and the people who shaped his career, including Manoj Bajpayee, Ashish Vidyarthi, Neena Gupta, Ayushmann Khurrana, and Ajay Devgn.Whether you know him as the dad from TVF's Tech Conversations with Dad, Kaushik Saab from Badhaai Ho, or one of Bollywood's most respected character actors, this episode of xMonks Drive gives you the most complete, honest, and personal conversation with Gajraj Rao yet.

I've seen Becky Tailor's work in person and knew after that I had to have her on the show. BUT, she is one busy gal, so it was great when she gave me a date that she could appear on our 6/14/2026 show. Like I said, I've seen Becky work in person in the famous "Lost Popcorn Scene" but it was great none the less! We talked with Becky about how she got started and future plans and we can't wait to see her at shows down the road. At the halfway point of the interview, we had a special feature with Kianna Bradley as well. In the last 20 minutes, we brought in Becky's hubby, who is also her manager and had a discussion with him too. Along with Becky we had our regulars, plus Lorenzo, Richard Pacheco and Big Dick Johnson.

In this episode, I share an unexpected conversation with my tailor that reminded me of an important truth: while AI and rapid technological changes are creating waves in the market and in our minds, some fundamentals never change. Skills, relationships, values, and staying grounded remain timeless. In a world obsessed with the next big thing, sometimes the wisest approach is to stick to our basics and stay calm.Live with passion and disciplineDr Sandeep Patil.

This week, Scott was joined by his Lawfare colleagues Benjamin Wittes, Michael Feinberg, and Molly Roberts to talk through the week's big news in national security, including:“Blanche Check.” DOJ may soon have a new permanent leader, as President Trump has now formally nominated Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to the role permanently. But to secure Trump's support, Blanche has indulged some of Trump's most concerning instincts, as evidenced by the attempt to establish an anti-weaponization fund for Trump allies and renewed indictments of figures like former FBI Director James Comey. Meanwhile, DOJ has seen scandal after scandal during Blanche's tenure over the rapidly declining quality and credibility of its work, exemplified most recently by evidence of grand jury tampering, arguably, in the Broadview Six prosecutions. What should we expect of DOJ under a confirmed Blanche? And how enduring will some of the harm that may result be for the department?“Tinker, Tailor, Realtor, Spy.” President Trump's decision to dual-hat Federal Housing Finance Agency director Bill Pulte—a man with no national security experience, who is best known for using his role at the FHFA to facilitate some of Trump's most transparent attacks on perceived political enemies—as Acting Director of National Intelligence has triggered strong reactions across the political spectrum. This includes a threat by congressional Democrats to kill renewal of Section 702 surveillance authorities if Pulte remains in the acting position. But Trump has thus far refused to back down. What does Pulte's appointment—and the potential expiration of Section 702—mean for national security?“Pratt Falls.” The open primary in the Los Angeles mayor's race is over, and Trump-endorsed candidate Spencer Pratt finished just outside the final two who will proceed into the general election. But U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli, a Trump loyalist, has suggested that voter fraud investigations are ongoing, leading some other Republican officials and leaders to call the results into question. What should we make of these unsubstantiated allegations? And are they a preview of what Republicans have planned for 2026? In object lessons, Mike is kraken himself up over his plans to create the ultimate toy for his child. Ben is announcing the beta release of RAGtime, the tool that he (and Claude) developed to comb through large, messy datasets. Scott is heating things up in his backyard with his new Gozney pizza oven. And Molly is quacking up about her mallard, acquired from (the now unfortunately closed) Archipelago in Maine.

RJ Talyor is the Founder and CEO of Backstroke a AI for eCommerce generative content platform for email marketers. Instantly create on-brand, high-performing email subject lines, preview text, mobile push notifications, and SMS messages.Summary of PodcastPodcast introduction and guest backgroundGraham and Kevin introduce the Next 100 Days Podcast and welcome RJ Talyor from Indianapolis. RJ describes Indianapolis as offering the best of a big city with a small-city feel, with about a million people, great sports, culture, food, and good cost of living. He has traveled extensively but always enjoys returning home.Backstroke's AI email generation platformRJ introduces Backstroke.com, which generates performant email campaigns for e-commerce retailers selling clothes, pet food, furniture, and other products online and in-store. E-commerce brands typically expect 20-50% of revenue from email marketing while sending 3-5+ emails weekly, with customers spending 8-12 hours per campaign. Backstroke reduces this to approximately 15 minutes while personalising content so each customer receives a different message tailored to their interests and behaviour.Personalisation through data and engagement Backstroke personalises emails using multiple data layers: subscriber status, past engagement (opens, clicks, conversions), and appended third-party data revealing demographics like age, location, and gender. When additional data is unavailable, the platform uses progressive profiling—analysing engagement patterns to infer preferences. For example, if a customer consistently clicks on men's content over women's content, or prefers dark-coloured shirts over light ones, AI identifies these patterns to drive personalisation, which is more effective than manual analysis.Real-world personalisation: from negative to advocateGraham shares a personal story about Son of a Tailor, a Portuguese apparel brand, where his initial experience was poor—they sent him a shirt too short for his frame. However, the company responded exceptionally well, ultimately creating a monogrammed, high-quality shirt that transformed him into an advocate. RJ explains this is valuable data: AI can flag customers who experienced negative-to-positive journeys as potential super-fans or loyalty advocates, a pattern most marketers miss because they lack time to identify such nuanced customer experiences.AI pattern recognition beyond traditional metricsTraditional RFM (Recency, Frequency, Monetary) models reduce customers to transactional data, but AI can extract signal from unstructured data to identify complex patterns. For instance, AI can recognize when a customer buys different sizes (suggesting purchases for others) or when multiple preferences exist within one account—like RJ's Spotify feed where his children's music preferences mix with his own. AI discerns these overlapping patterns that aren't immediately obvious to humans, enabling more sophisticated segmentation.Team expertise and company historyRJ co-founded Backstroke with his wife Allison, who holds a PhD in deep data analysis and chemical reagents, bringing statistical rigour and predictive modelling expertise. RJ's background includes starting Pattern89 in 2016, an AI company predicting Instagram and Facebook clicks using computer vision and natural language processing, which he sold to Shutterstock. Many Pattern89 team members joined Backstroke, bringing 10 years of AI-based marketing experience, while the team continuously innovates with new foundational models from Anthropic and OpenAI.Implementation results and Surge featureBackstroke achieves an average 30% uplift in conversion rates for new clients. Implementation typically takes about a month for full transformation, but recognising customer demand for faster results, the company launched "Surge," enabling campaigns to launch in 48 hours. This rapid-deployment feature demonstrates predictive capabilities quickly, satisfying customers who want immediate proof before committing to full onboarding.Email variants and human approval at scaleWhile technically capable of generating 10,000+ unique email variants, Backstroke has found that customers require human review of every variant version. Current implementations range from 60-100 variants, with combinations of hero images, subject lines, and templates creating exponential possibilities. The company is building QA agents to enable scaling to millions of variants while maintaining human oversight, recognizing that creative teams ultimately bear responsibility for brand representation.Brand guidelines versus performance metricsA fundamental tension exists between brand teams (who enforce guidelines like "models must face forward" or "only use this colour") and performance marketers (who know "shirts perform better laid on a bed than on a human"). RJ explains this is often gut-feel decision-making based on outdated tests—teams cite tests from a year ago by employees who've since left, creating stale guidelines. AI enables rapid testing of creative variations to identify incremental opportunities, but requires organisational willingness to experiment beyond established brand rules.Customer selection philosophyRather than trying to convince resistant customers to embrace AI, RJ focuses on the "one in 10" truly innovative marketers willing to change. He learned from his previous business that most prospects claim interest but quickly reveal organizational barriers requiring approvals. His strategy is to identify customers genuinely committed to transformation and willing to pay, directing others to resources instead. This approach conserves energy for high-potential partnerships where AI can deliver real impact.Backstroke's core value propositionBackstroke solves the "what" problem: what content, subject line, preview, template, hero image, product display, and offer to send to each person. The platform knows that 46% of clicks occur in the first 400 pixels, so it optimizes that space differently for men versus women, loyal customers versus new ones, and geographic regions. This focused specialization on content optimization is Backstroke's primary value, distinct from solving "when" (send time) or "who" (segmentation) problems.Practical tips for email marketersFor marketers using standard LLMs without specialised platforms, RJ recommends uploading all previous email data and creative assets, then asking the machine to identify winning creative dimensions. This approach reveals patterns in subject lines, imagery, copy length, and offers without requiring subscriber-level analysis, enabling better-than-average results for those without access to specialised tools.Email frequency paradox and engagementKevin raises frustration with receiving excessive emails from companies he likes, asking if AI can enable sending less email while achieving better results. RJ explains that higher engagement with personalised content could theoretically reduce frequency, but email is fundamentally a frequency game—brands send multiple emails weekly to stay top-of-inbox when customers are ready to buy. However, deliverability depends on engagement (opens, clicks), so sending irrelevant content backfires. Backstroke solves the "what" problem, but send-time optimisation and segmentation (the "when" and "who") remain separate challenges.Market focus and customer examples Backstroke focuses exclusively on B2C e-commerce in North America due to language complexity and GDPR privacy requirements in Europe. The platform serves impulse-purchase categories (apparel, furniture, bedding) differently than considered purchases (mattresses, cars), with separate trained models for each. Notable customers include Third Love (women's intimates), Cozy Earth (bedding), Helix (mattresses), and Emile Henry (cookware), representing the apparel and home goods verticals where Backstroke has developed deep expertise.Future roadmap: predictive marketing agentsRJ's 18-month roadmap focuses on building predictive marketing agents that complete marketing tasks generatively while humans serve as brand stewards and strategists. This vision extends beyond email to SMS, apps, and landing pages, with personalisation as a core feature. Graham notes the challenge of making such systems intuitive enough for non-technical users, reflecting the broader industry shift toward AI-augmented rather than AI-replaced marketing roles.European expansion and compliance strategyWhile Backstroke is currently North America-focused, RJ is open to European partnerships but wants to be proactive about compliance. GDPR itself isn't a blocker, but European customers require security documentation and certifications that Backstroke hasn't yet obtained. The company recently achieved SOC 2 compliance (required by enterprise businesses) and plans to secure necessary privacy certifications before entering European markets, avoiding disqualification during sales cycles.Podcast analysis and key takeawaysIn the wrap-up, RJ praises the podcast for getting past fluff into real marketing challenges, appreciating the nitty-gritty discussion of how marketers actually work. Graham and Kevin reflect that the conversation revealed AI's potential to solve the "what" problem while highlighting remaining challenges in "when" and "who" decisions. They note that Kevin's observation about sending less email...

Tyler Anbinder highlights the upward mobility of Irish artisans and entrepreneurs, showcasing George Fox, a trained tailor who became a successful merchant tailor through aggressive self-promotion and by providing free garments to prominent politicians like Millard Fillmore. The transition from journeyman to master was a critical step for many skilled workers, such as carpenters and masons, who benefited from New York's rapid physical expansion. The Immigrant Savings Bank records track these paths of success, revealing how parents plateauing in artisanal roles focused on ensuring their children could enter professional classes like law and medicine.

When your homeschool child won't do work, it's rarely just about laziness—it often signals a deeper need for curiosity, connection, and meaningful engagement. If you're a homeschool mom, you've probably said or thought something like: “My kids don't really care about their lessons. They just want to get through it so they can get on their screens.”“I think my daughter only enjoys going to coop because of her friends, not any actual learning.”“He races through his work without engaging—he's just checking boxes.”“There's outright resistance now. I don't know if it's the work or if it's me or if he’s just rebellious.” These situations are very common, not unusual. And the question behind them is universal: how do you help your child become an independent learner who is genuinely curious and engaged—not someone who treats learning like a chore to avoid? If this resonates with you, a great first step is my free Deschool Your Homeschool Checklist, which helps you step back from school-y thinking, reconnect with how your child naturally learns, and create space for curiosity, calm, and connection. Grab your free Deschool Checklist and Help Your Kids Love Learning 5 Reasons Why Your Homeschool Child Won't Do Work Reason 1: When Your Homeschool Child Won’t Do Work — Learning Feels Like a Chore Many children resist because they've learned to associate “learning” with compliance or tedium. They may rush through assignments just to get them done or outright refuse work that doesn't interest them. To be fair, we adults do that too. When someone says, “Hey, you know what would make tax season easier and more satisfying? Take a course on filing your taxes.” Interesting, you think, and clever, that’s exactly what I should do! (No, you don’t think that. You think, naw, thanks, I’ll do what I have to do until next tax season.) Can I hear an amen? ps don’t respond if you actually enjoy doing taxes, ha–it won’t serve my point;) Well, ditto for your kids. Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck explains that a fixed mindset develops when children feel their worth is tied to “doing it right.” In these cases, resistance is not a character flaw—it's a protective response. What you can do: Follow your child's curiosity whenever possible. Show them that learning happens everywhere: in the kitchen, in nature, in everyday problem-solving. Reason 2: When Your Homeschool Child Won't Do Work—Check Your Own Motivation First Kids are highly sensitive to the adults around them. If you're scattered, anxious, or uninspired, they pick up on it. Angela Duckworth, author of Grit, notes that parents who raise resilient, motivated children model passion and perseverance in their own lives. And isn’t that what we all want? This homeschool lifestyle isn’t just equipping our kids to do live a purposeful life, it’s offering us that opportunity too! (And I encourage you to take it!) What you can do: Reconnect with your own curiosity and goals. Are you motivated? What gets you up in the morning? Model learning and persistence in ways your child can observe.

Todd, Eric, and special guest Abby dive headfirst into one of the strangest television disasters ever broadcast - The Star Wars Holiday Special.What was supposed to be a fun holiday event somehow became 90 uninterrupted minutes of confusion, Wookiee yelling, awkward musical numbers, and Harrison Ford looking like he actively wanted to leave.In this episode:The infamous 20-minute Wookiee conversation that tests everyone's patience almost immediately.Why the Holiday Special feels less like Star Wars and more like someone filmed a fever dream in a RadioShack.A breakdown of bizarre variety-show performances, awkward comedy sketches, and aggressively seventies television decisions.The introduction of “Life Day,” which somehow feels both deeply important and completely meaningless.Wookiee home life, strange hologram entertainment systems, and what may or may not be space pornography.The first-ever appearance of Boba Fett hidden inside a cartoon that somehow becomes the best part of the special.Why Mark Hamill looks like he wandered in from an entirely different production.A heated debate over whether this is the worst thing ever made… or simply the most confusing.From Bea Arthur singing in a cantina to endless growling conversations that absolutely should have had subtitles, this episode explores every uncomfortable, hilarious, and baffling moment of the Holiday Special.If you've never seen The Star Wars Holiday Special, this episode may save you 90 painful minutes. If you have seen it, this is basically group therapy.

What starts as Eric sharing a random dream immediately spirals into a full-scale debate about flying cars, teleportation, government tracking, magical transportation systems, and whether society can be trusted with a third dimension.Spoiler alert: probably not.In this episode:Eric dreams about driving a flying Dodge Omni inspired by Flight of the Navigator.A pickup baseball game in Martins Ferry somehow launches a 45-minute future-tech discussion.Why flying cars sound awesome until you remember other people exist.The horrifying logistics of airborne traffic jams, sky intersections, and people throwing soda cans from 2,000 feet.Disney technology, Spider-Man web shooters, and why Todd does not trust humanity with hover vehicles.The rise of teleportation as the superior transportation option.Teleportation ethics, naked arrival logistics, and the terrifying future of retina-scan Starbucks.How one Dodge Omni dream accidentally creates a dystopian sci-fi universe.From repulsor lift technology and magical sling rings to conspiracy theories about why we “aren't trying hard enough,” this episode somehow transforms into one of the most detailed conversations ever inspired by a car that should absolutely not be airborne.If you've ever wondered whether society is emotionally prepared for flying cars, the answer is probably no. But that won't stop Eric from trying to invent one.

Between Michelin stars and James Beard Awards, it's safe to say that Denver has secured its place in the food world. But, a lot more goes into making a 5-star restaurant than just awesome food. We are revisiting a conversation from earlier this year where host Bree Davies chats with Kevin Nguyen, the award winning architect behind some of Denver's most celebrated restaurants, like Brutø, The Wolf's Tailor, Hey Kiddo, Hop Alley, Xiquita, and more. The two parse out what else can really make, or break, an elite restaurant experience.

Are you still using one-factor-at-a-time experiments for biosimilar development, losing months, missing interactions, and risking costly dead-ends?In this episode, David Brühlmann, host of the Smart Biotech Scientist Podcast, reveals how traditional "one factor at a time" screening in biosimilar development can take over 12 months, while the parallel group design massively accelerates discovery by grouping up to five factors per experiment and applying a multivariate analysis pipeline.Topics discussed:The limitations of traditional and large DoE designs and the advantages of parallel group design (00:08)Best practices for grouping compounds by biological mechanism with four essential rules (00:53)The importance of anchor compounds, separating strong modulators, and initial univariate screens for unknown compounds (01:43)Guidance on managing practical issues, including evaporation, liquid handling, osmolality, and replicating production processes (06:42)The use of multivariate analysis tools: Principal Component Analysis, Mahalanobis distance, and decision trees for candidate selection (10:14)Key results and outcomes from applying the parallel group method, including faster and more cost-effective quality modulator identification (12:46)Three improvements David would recommend today: prequalifying compounds, broader quality analytics, and hybrid modeling integration (13:49)The shift in mindset from “time problem” to “information problem” in process development (16:50)Extending the parallel group and multivariate approach to other areas like clone selection and scale-up decisions (17:52)Smart insight:Process development is fundamentally about generating actionable information, not just running more experiments. The parallel group, multivariate pipeline lets teams ask better questions, in parallel, with dramatically improved data yield. This mindset and methodology extend well beyond biosimilar media development into clone selection, feed design, and process characterization, wherever complexity would paralyze traditional approaches.If you want more detail, you can read the full article “Parallel experimental design and multivariate analysis provides efficient screening of cell culture media supplements to improve biosimilar product quality” published in Biotechnology and Bioengineering, which outlines the methods and findings behind this approach.If you're interested in hybrid modeling, here's what previous podcast guests have shared on the topic, offering perspectives from fundamentals to real-world applications.Episodes 05 - 06: Hybrid Modeling: The Key to Smarter Bioprocessing with Michael SokolovEpisodes 99 - 100: From Raw Data to Actionable Insights: Unlocking the Power of Process Models with Fabian FeidlEpisodes 137 - 138: Skip 90% of Bioreactor Runs: The In Silico Revolution in Bioprocess Development with Yossi QuintEpisodes 173 - 174: Mastering Hybrid Model Digital Twins: From Lab Scale to Commercial Bioprocessing with Krist GernaeyNext step: If this was useful, leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

4. George Fox: The Rise of an Ambitious Merchant Tailor George Fox exemplifies the entrepreneurial ambition inherent in many Irish immigrants. Trained as a tailor, he initially earned a pittance sewing for major retailers but eventually opened his own shop on Broadway. Fox became a master of self-promotion, advertising extensively and providing free, high-quality clothing to President Millard Fillmore and prominent senators to build his reputation. This transition from journeyman to master was a primary goal for many skilled Irish artisans. Since New York was rapidly expanding, carpenters, masons, and tailors were rarely out of work, allowing them to accumulate savings and provide social mobility for their children. 41880 ACHILL
