BGMania B-Sides #40 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. Today on the show, Bedroth drops into Tetris Battle Gaiden, the Japan-exclusive Super Famicom spin-off that takes Tetris in a wildly unexpected direction, trading pure abstraction for colorful characters, elemental themes, and head-to-head puzzle combat that feels equal parts playful and intense. Packed with bright melodies, bouncy rhythms, and a surprising amount of personality, Tetris Battle Gaiden's soundtrack leans into upbeat synths, jazzy progressions, and arcade-sharp hooks that keep the energy high without ever feeling stressful. Each character theme adds its own flavor, turning familiar falling blocks into a lively musical showdown where competition feels expressive and endlessly replayable rather than cold or mechanical.

Birth is good.And birth is not tame.Birth is holy and wild. It is powerful, unpredictable, and not something we can fully control or make “safe” in the way modern culture often promises. When we forget that, we can be left confused or unprepared for how deeply a birth experience might impact us—even when everything looks fine from the outside.In this episode, we're talking about the difference between disappointment and trauma in birth. Disappointment often comes from unmet hopes or expectations. Trauma goes deeper. Trauma is a deeply distressing experience—or series of experiences—that overwhelms the nervous system and leaves a lasting imprint on the body, the mind, and our sense of safety.And trauma is not defined by what happened on a chart.It's defined by how the experience was received in the body.We talk about why it's so important to process hard or intense birth experiences, and why this work should be done with someone who understands both birth and trauma. Not someone who rushes to silver linings or spiritual bypassing—but someone who knows how to sit with the body's story and help it integrate what happened.We share supportive tools that can help the nervous system come back into regulation, including:Bilateral stimulation (EMDR, binaural tracks, walking, brainspotting, butterfly hug/tapping)Shaking and gentle movement to release stored stressEFT / tappingSimple supports like nourishment, warm baths, flower essences, rest, and deep gentleness with yourselfWe also touch on surprisingly practical tools like playing Tetris in the early aftermath of a hard experience, which has been shown to support memory integration.This conversation includes pieces of our own stories:Lauren's interrupted third stageBrooke's manual placenta removalBoth moments where necessary intervention still left an imprint that required care, time, and compassion to heal.We also talk about prevention—how having the right team, realistic expectations, and emotional support can cushion the wildness of birth. Birth does not need to be controlled to be held well. But it does need to be witnessed, respected, and supported.This episode is an invitation to approach birth honestly:to honor it as good, holy, and life-giving—and to acknowledge that its wildness sometimes leaves tender places that deserve gentleness, care, and wise support.Connect:Email us to say hi: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠holywildbirth@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Put in a request for future topics and/or submit a question for future Q&A episodes: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Fill out the form⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apply to tell your birth story on the podcast: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Holy Wild Birth Podcast : Guest Application⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Hang out with us and other Holy Wild Women in our private community (off Facebook): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Rooted in Eden PMA⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Become a holy, wild birthkeeper with us inside ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Hearthmother Journey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠From Lauren:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Midwifery consults: Email  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠rootedinedenpma@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠From Brooke:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Trust God, Trust Birth Workshop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - a 5-part high-level roadmap to a confident home birth (pay what you can)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Faith-Filled Home Birth Workshop ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- a free, 3-part video series delivered to your inbox⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Embrace Birth Journey ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- comprehensive and holistic faith-based home birth preparation (courses + private community)Intro and Outra Music Credit -Betty Dear By ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Blue Dot Sessions⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ is licensed under a ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Creative Commons License⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

The Red Sox are connected to a plethora of potential trade candidates - some we like (Nico Hoerner) more than others (Brendan Donovan). Like, significantly more. There was also plenty of record setting and record cucking news in baseball this week - including Kyle Tucker to the Dodgers on the largest AAV contract ever given out, and Bo Bichette to the Mets on the Bregman sweetheart deal. The Mets are the weirdest group of infielders I think I've seen, maybe ever. Paredes is the most likely option to end up in Boston, but he is just not worth a singular Brayan Bello or Jarren Duran. We think by next week, SOMETHING falls into place (like the long Tetris piece). Linktree NASP Instagram NASP Twitter Ian's Twitter Jack's Twitter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

A candid update on Colin's injury recovery and lessons learned from a challenging year. Key Takeaways Colin's 2025 was derailed by a sacral stress fracture, which worsened a pre-existing labral tear and advanced hip arthritis, making surgery the likely long-term solution. A recent indoor ride caused severe pain, but Colin has since run 5-6 times comfortably, suggesting bike position is the primary issue. Colin is exploring non-surgical options (PRP/stem cells, bike fit adjustments) to avoid a hip replacement, which would likely end his elite-level running career due to reduced hip flexion. A major lesson from Endurance Exchange is the 50/50 rule for coach-athlete communication: data is half the picture; subjective feedback on feelings and pain is the other half. Topics Colin's Injury & Recovery Background: A chronic left hip issue (labral tear, arthritis) from hockey was managed successfully in 2024 with consistent stretching. 2025 Injuries: Sacral Stress Fracture: Caused by ramping up run volume too quickly post-hernia surgery. Ribs & Lung: Four broken ribs and a partially collapsed lung from a mountain biking crash. Current Status: Running: Surprisingly strong; 5-6 runs completed comfortably at 7:15–7:30/mile pace. Cycling: Indoor aero riding causes severe, nagging pain, but outdoor aero riding is possible. Activation Exercises: Reduced, as some movements (e.g., deep squats) were causing irritation. Treatment Options: Non-Surgical: Regenerative medicine (PRP/stem cells) and bike fit adjustments with Todd Canyon. Surgical: Hip replacement is the likely long-term solution. Trade-off: Would likely end elite-level running due to reduced hip flexion. Alternative: Hip resurfacing was mentioned as a potential intermediate step. Mental & Life Balance Perspective: The injury forced a physical and mental break, revealing burnout and prompting a re-evaluation of life balance. Mindset: The goal is a "6 out of 10" average day—a sustainable, net-positive approach—rather than an unrealistic "10 out of 10." Vulnerability: Sharing struggles builds more community connection than only posting successes. Balancing Act: High-level training is a "Tetris" game of managing family, work, and sport. Coach-Athlete Communication Dan Lorang's 50/50 Rule: Effective coaching requires 50% data analysis and 50% subjective feedback from the athlete. Danny's Example: Withheld knee injury info from his coach to avoid training modifications. Coach's Role: Provide guidance and consequences, but respect the athlete's final decision. Training & Data Insights Sauna Use: Danny's Whoop recovery scores improved from yellow/red to green after adding 20-minute sauna sessions. HRM Battery: Data accuracy can decline below 50% charge; keep rechargeable straps fully charged. Data vs. RPE: During a race, Danny's HRM read 158–160 bpm, but his perceived effort (RPE) felt like 148 bpm. He trusted his RPE, which proved correct.

Work-Life Balance Is a Myth? This CEO Explains Why Aslak de Silva introduces his “Tetris-ing your life together” concept, challenging the traditional notion of #worklife balance. Rather than striving for perfect daily equilibrium, he emphasizes actively managing one's calendar to strategically block out time for different life priorities—family, friends, work, training, and personal development. This approach to what is having a work-life balance moves beyond mythical perfection, acknowledging that not everything can happen simultaneously but can be thoughtfully arranged to fit together over time. The goal is achieving fulfillment by ensuring all valued aspects of life receive attention through flexible, adaptive planning as life evolves. The Power of Presence in Leadership and Life The discussion shifts to being more present in the moment, drawing from Aslak de Silva's martial arts background. What does it mean to be more present means fully engaging in the current moment, whether being a more present parent or in professional interactions. Aslak de Silva shares anecdotes—his daughter learning to ride a bike and his wife's text on a train—illustrating how being present and mindful strengthens connections and significantly impacts others' feelings. In leadership, being present in a relationship with team members allows genuine support, encouragement, and obstacle removal, creating a strong sense of care. Being present meditation and martial arts training demonstrate that this mindful engagement is a developable skill requiring consistent practice. Cultivating Daily Discipline and Self-Leadership Tim Staton and Aslak de Silva explore developing discipline and habits, especially for those without military or martial arts backgrounds. Discipline and good habits are framed not as innate traits but as muscles strengthened through small, consistent actions. Aslak de Silva suggests starting with achievable daily practices—a healthy breakfast or short exercise—and gradually building upon them. The core principle is that “discipline beats motivation,” meaning consistent action, even when unmotivated, yields greater results than waiting for inspiration. This internal journey of self-leadership, managing one's well-being and habits, directly influences leadership effectiveness and supports #being more present and #being mindful and present in all aspects of life. The Evolution of Black Belt Leadership Aslak de Silva explains the genesis of his book, “Black Belt Leadership,” synthesizing his 15-20 years in martial arts with his CEO career. He recognized that the developmental journey in martial arts, marked by different colored belts, paralleled the continuous growth required in leadership, prompting him to document his learnings. The book explores how martial arts principles—resilience, focus, and continuous improvement—apply to leadership. Aslak de Silva also shares how artificial intelligence (AI) assisted him in structuring scattered ideas, maintaining consistent tone, and organizing content into 20 actionable lessons, making the writing process more efficient. Embracing Imperfection and Developing Leadership Instincts A key takeaway from both martial arts and leadership is accepting imperfection. Aslak de Silva emphasizes that even the best fighters make mistakes, and leaders will inevitably face challenges and failures. The goal is not perfection but continuous calibration, learning from both successes and missteps. This requires boldness to try new approaches and self-awareness to understand one's strengths and weaknesses. Aslak de Silva highlights that knowing one's weaknesses allows for building a complementary team, ensuring all project aspects are handled effectively. The conversation concludes by touching upon leadership instincts and the idea that some people might fear success due to potential sacrifices involved, underscoring the importance of commitment and effort from day one to achieve one's full potential.   Connect with Tim: Website: timstatingtheobvious.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/timstatingtheobvious YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHfDcITKUdniO8R3RP0lvdw Instagram: @TimStating TikTok: @timstatingtheobvious LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tim-staton-04b41a271/ SKOOL Community: https://www.skool.com/timstatingtheobvious-9537/about?ref=de9c7e65d8ba4eeabc1a8eea413c125b Enroll in the Leadership Course: https://themanyhatsofleadership.learnworlds.com/course/the-edge-mindset   Connect with Aslak de Silva LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aslakdesilva/ Book: https://www.amazon.com/Black-Belt-Leadership-Lessons-Boardroom/dp/952880490X

As Dish Media's new head of programmatic partnerships, Kristinnsson is helping turn advanced TV into a single, addressable marketplace.  Episode TranscriptPlease note, this transcript  may contain minor inconsistencies compared to the episode audio.Damian Fowler (00:00):I'm Damian Fowler.Ilyse Liffreing (00:01):And I'm Ilyse Liffreing.Damian Fowler (00:02):And welcome to this edition of The Big Impression.Ilyse Liffreing (00:09):Today, we're joined by Liam Kristinnsson, head of programmatic partnerships at Dish Media, where he's helping shape how the company connects advertisers with premium audiences across both linear and digital environments.Damian Fowler (00:23):Dish has been pushing hard into the programmatic space. From Dish Connected, it's addressable solution across the ecosystem to Advantage, which links programmatic buying with linear inventory in real time. It's all part of a broader move to bring automation and accountability to advanced TV.Ilyse Liffreing (00:39):We'll talk with Liam about how Dish is tackling fragmentation, what premium really means in a mixed green world, and where the next phase of programmatic growth is headed.Damian Fowler (00:51):So let's get into it.Liam Kristinnsson (00:57):Dish Connected has really revolutionized our product in the marketplace. We've been able to convert an additional four million to five million households into tangible CTV devices across real-time bidding systems across the industry. And it's kind of given us a leg up against some of our more linear competition where we now have full autonomy over our inventory and can enable and provide transparency downstream to any client.Damian Fowler (01:28):That's amazing. I mean, there was a moment there where there was a sort of either all linear or CTV, but this is something that's kind of connecting thoseLiam Kristinnsson (01:38):Two worlds. I think this is the start of the convergence. I know it probably truly started post-pandemic, I would say, but the reality is now that what is perceived as underutilized impression-based audiences are now becoming tangible and kind of overlapping with their traditional legacy linear purchases. And there's much more value to it because we are not enabling people to find attribution in a more roundabout extrapolated way, but we can provide meaningful real time results to third party attribution vendors or measurement vendors.Damian Fowler (02:20):And that brings us to Advantage, which you introduced in May to Power Programmatic and Linear at the same time. Could you tell us a little bit more about that?Liam Kristinnsson (02:30):Yeah. So the beauty of Advantage is it really expands upon what we've already built for Programmatic in Disconnected, but it provides solutions across the whole suite of products we have. Our addressable business can tap into real-time kind of innovations, real-time optimizations against audiences, ensure that we are better delivering across the target audience and finding that incremental reach that in the past may have been next to impossible to verify. And now we have all that inventory in one place. It's kind of like a grocery store when I think the industry has become accustomed to going to a bodega. That's very New York with me, I understand. I like that. But sometimes bodegas have eggs, they have a deli, they might have milk, but they might not always have milk and seltzer and all the little things that you want on a day-to-day basis. And the reality is something lacking when it comes to you being able to actually fill your fridge.(03:35):Now we have all those components that the customer or the client is looking for.Damian Fowler (03:40):Yeah. I like that analogy.Ilyse Liffreing (03:41):It's a good one. Yeah, no, I like that. And now Liam, I'm curious about the advertisers you're working with. Is there a new segment of buyers that Programmatic is really opening the door to here? What is basically your sense of that cohort?Liam Kristinnsson (03:58):Yeah, I think it really has grown overnight programmatic in general, but I think it allows us to have expanded exposure across all clients that are looking for that more meaningful kind of results. I think we are seeing a lot of success in generating a lot of traction across the CPG world, the direct to consumer world. And I think we're finding a nice overlap from a category perspective of what we traditionally looked at as direct IO or addressable business, but maybe not all those brands or clients in maybe like a pharmaceutical vertical would tap or earmark dollars for commitments early in their planning phase. Now they have the liberty and the luxury to find that right audience and enable dollars downstream where we're just not hunting in that lane and now we can kind of, instead of spreading ourselves thin, the technology can enable us to really kind of tap into all those brands, whether it be the CPG or the pharmaceuticals.(05:05):Now on the CPG side, I would double down further. I think because in the linear world, traditionally there's a level of fragmentation when you were to buy linear and you're only getting a percentage of the marketplace. Now the transparency and data that we're passing downstream really changes that, right? Because now these CPG brands are looking to trade off their kind of gross rating points, but kind of understand, all right, am I serving a family that would buy my products? And now we're freeing up the inventory and making it available to those brands that maybe were not always keen on addressable or linear didn't provide enough eyeballs. We're compensating for that with the data we'reIlyse Liffreing (05:49):Providing. Do you have an example of a brand you're working with?Liam Kristinnsson (05:52):Yeah. So I mean, more specifically, even though that wasn't in some of the categories I called out, there was one or two major financial brands that we've been able to elevate our profile quite significantly with and then partner with them around some of their initiatives on the backend. And I think it kind of shows some of the flexibility that a publisher can now provide brands that I don't think they ever associated with a conglomerate or a media company like ourselves.Damian Fowler (06:23):On that point, there is a perception that the space is fragmented and that there's linear here and then there's streaming here. Do you think that that is changing that perception, maybe thanks to some of the work that you're doing?Liam Kristinnsson (06:36):I think that's a lot of our goal. I think that we are simplifying the process and enabling a household or a device level, right? And the device level tends to be at the unique user level and we have the ability to kind of triangulate that and make sure that we're providing good and strong data down to our partners. I think that as a marketplace holistically, I think the fragmentation has changed and I think a lot of that's around some consumer behavior that has changed or specifically around the way consumers are watching more free content or there's pockets where they're not required to provide a subscription. And I think that there's still a gap there and we do have some front porch access to our apps, but we are looking on our end to continue to develop and then enable through Advantage how we can kind of provide those, specifically those returning viewers, that clean look to the advertisers on the back end and really kind of leveraging deterministic data and first party signals to really define that audience more cleanly in some ways that competitors of ours maybe can't do.Ilyse Liffreing (07:53):Overall, how would you describe your measuring the success of these programmatic partnerships?Liam Kristinnsson (08:00):Yeah. So I think that that's a really unique place because that's something that has been our bread and butter. We have our own targeting and attribution team. They've worked very diligently on the direct IO side. I think a lot of the legacy information that they've been able to provide clients and the insights and the ways that we've been able to either cut our inventory or kind of group or the target audiences for these clients have helped demonstrate the programmatic partners the value in not just our audience, which I think is somewhat being underserved because Dish tends to be middle America and maybe they have less apps or maybe they leverage less apps. So they have been underserved. We have a legacy of success around specific verticals and we're able to kind of provide that to these brands. I think the challenge is it's a little bit of a black hole sometimes of how they tie it back to each other.(08:56):And I think there needs to be a little bit more assistance on our end. And by us, I mean the royal we across the industry of like providing some of those insights that I kind of alluded to earlier, whether it's, are we targeting and talking about unique users? Are we looking at success at a household level? And there is some innovation that's required there in the industry, but I think what we're doing is really at the forefront of enabling that.Ilyse Liffreing (09:23):Are there any particular channels that have surprised you in terms of performance or even advertiser adoption?Liam Kristinnsson (09:31):Sure. I mean, I think I imagine everybody talks about the success of sports. Sports has been a real catalyst to the boon of CTV enablement in general, but I think that I'd be remiss not to call out that a lot of our entertainment brands have shined, but not in the ways that traditionally they've been leveraged, right? Even though certain pockets of inventory is not super desirable in the marketplace at times, like news, there are a ton of clients that we've seen a lot of traction there and like pick up incremental success and really drive reach by anonymizing the content that they buy and focusing on the audience.Damian Fowler (10:20):That's interesting. Is there still some resistance to the idea of being around current affairs and news?Liam Kristinnsson (10:26):Yeah. I think I myself came from the website world years ago and I saw firsthand when a certain brand would be next to a certain type of content. And I understand the urgent need to not expose a valuable legacy luxury brand to something that may or may not be bad, right? Yeah. But the reality is often there is a disconnect from the content being consumed and the pod of commercials that's watched, right? Yeah. And while we often, and I'm sure we ... My mother certainly will watch news for hours and hours upon day, which is maybe not healthy for her lifestyle, but I think what's great about it, specifically when she goes to sit down, she is glued in to the TV. And that's something I think that a lot of people are trying to figure out, are people watching? Are they tuned in? Are they walking away?(11:30):And that's the black box of advertising, but I know that people that watch news are glued into the TV and consuming the content between segments. It's kind of like sports, right? Yeah.Damian Fowler (11:43):I think that's true. And I think that's true across all channels as far as I know people reading digital news as well, but I don't want to go off on a massive digression about news, but anyway. But it is fantastic. Can we pull back and look at the big picture a little bit? And we were wondering if there were any precedents or points of inspiration inside or outside of media that inform how you think about programmatic partnerships at Dish?Liam Kristinnsson (12:10):Sure. I mean, I think that back to what I was saying about evolution, I think often in the media industry, we look at things like baseball teams are run today. Not to use a sports analogy. I know you guys are probably sick of them, but- We love sports analogies here. Nelly said the trade death.(12:32):But the reality is these days people want home run hitters. And I think back in the day, that's a little bit of a cyclical history. People always want home run hitters and like big stats, but you win championships with diversity. And I think what partnerships means today is not what it maybe meant 12 or 13 years ago. I think there's a ... We're becoming a world where people, we're all playing Tetris and there's a way to make it all fit together if we cooperate and enable each other. So it's not one size fit all fits all. I think there's a lot of small partnerships and that's good for the competition of the industry and it doesn't take away from the value of these big partnerships. And I think I don't think in my time in TV there's ever been more opportunity there than there is today.Ilyse Liffreing (13:28):Something we often write about at the current is the value of like premium content versus maybe like user generated. For instance, what would you say is the importance of premium and I guess what kind of premium content is most popular? I mean, you brought up sports, but are there any others?Liam Kristinnsson (13:50):Yeah. I mean, I think premium content, I'm sure many people discuss across the course of ad week or just in the industry and in general, how valuable, unique and what's deemed as traditionally primetime TV is. But the reality is it's even more valuable than that because you are in a lot of ways demanding an eclectic audience to watch your spectrum of content and you can't always guarantee that in other places. There is also, sure there's some oversaturation for specific channels and maybe the product that they air, but the reality is it is not what everybody is consuming these days, right? It's Halloween. Everybody can find a bunch of great horror movies or Halloween's coming up, I should say. Everybody could find a bunch of great horror movies across the board, can't always guarantee what is in that content, how glued in they are versus just kind of like, "Oh, it's in season." I think with premium content, specifically around live TV, there's 365 days a year of people competing against each other from a content perspective, but it demands eyeballs.(15:07):And I think we're also starting to see a surprising jump in the youth getting app fatigue, I suppose, that is better enabling that premium content to ensure eyeballs there, but they're paying attention and I cannot stress that enough. In a world of a short attention span, they want to know what's going on and they consumeDamian Fowler (15:28):It. I would almost say it's short form content fatigue to a certain extent. There's something nice about a long form, a game,Liam Kristinnsson (15:41):ADamian Fowler (15:41):Football game,Liam Kristinnsson (15:42):A soccer game, or a movie. To that point, right? I was probably part of the problem with TV from a consumer point of view. I became like a cinephile which didn't help a company's ability to monetize myself, but the more meshed I get into the industry and the more, I don't know, popular I get, the less time I have to go find a film, right? The more time I have to maybe watch a drama about women in New York and I will watch the rerun that I just saw the week before at eight o'clock in anticipation of what's going to happen at nine o'clock, but really because I want to see the reunion or the interview at 10 o'clock, right? So now I'm consuming the same content twice, but I'm even more engaged in the live TV and there's something afterwards that is actually, maybe taped, but it feels live, right?(16:37):Yeah.Damian Fowler (16:37):And that's the proposition that Dish is getting into. I'd want to ask you, how's Dish Media building on the momentum that you've already created?Liam Kristinnsson (16:45):Yeah, I think right now it's what more can we do and how can we keep providing and enabling inventory for the right providers? I think that the assumption in the marketplace for any new product that comes out is, wow, this is it, it's here. 100% of it's enabled. That's never the case, right? It takes a year to ramp up typically for the average product, sometimes as much as three for us. We've been hitting the gas and I think now we're about to go from fifth to sixth speed and really kind of enable our inventory holistically to the marketplace. So for us, it's a little bit of crawl, walk, run from an enablement perspective and with that comes even greater insights into what are they consuming, what's the audience? How do we help define and clean up that audience downstream and then let others maybe do what they do best.(17:45):But we are really in a great position to keep kind of growing that and exposing net new insights about users that I'm not sure everybody's contemplating.Damian Fowler (17:56):Yeah, I'm sure.Ilyse Liffreing (17:57):Very cool. I have a question here about the economy and as you know, and everybody does, it's on kind of shaky ground, you don't know. How do you see spend evolving in the programmatic space at this time?Liam Kristinnsson (18:16):Well, I'm glad you asked that. I think there is marketplace concerns about what is happening on the demand side and a lot of them are valid. A lot of them are maybe being overthought perhaps, but I think there's some rocky roads ahead for specific industries, but it presents a unique opportunity. And I think from a publisher perspective, maintaining the value of inventory and the premium content that they have is absolutely a must because we are going to continue to provide insights and improve products that ultimately will provide better outcomes for backend users. If we kind of enable knee-jerk reactive spend, I think that actually goes against the grain of supply path optimization and increasing outcomes holistically under the guise of potentially lower rates or what have you. But I truly believe that if one category is down, another needs to go up. And I think advertising is like a mutual fund like that where I have lived in Europe in the past and there's a phrase in Scandinavia that like, no matter what happens to our small economy, people will advertise beer because somebody will buy it, right?(19:46):And I think that's much more universal than just in a few select small countries. And I think in a lot of ways we saw that in the pandemic, right? Direct to consumer brands, a lot more variety of entertainment companies or hardware products or TVs were able to kind of put their best foot forward and give the consumer options, right? And I think it's some of their responsibility to provide those options. What we, the publishers can do is enable and ensure they're getting the right results for the content and fitting them in the content or audiences that they really can get the best out of them, right?Damian Fowler (20:28):Absolutely. Okay. We're going to bring this home now with some quick fire questions, right? And here's the first one. What are you obsessed with figuring out right now?Liam Kristinnsson (20:38):Well, this might be a little divisive, but I am obsessed with continuing to improve supply path optimization, but I believe that comes with the slow sunsetting of linear. When I got to Dish, we were still primarily, while our bread and butter was addressable, we were still primarily from a percentage basis, linear, right? Since then, we've completely flipped the script. We are by far and away, mostly impression based. And the reality is I think that we are leveraging too many legacy tools to tell and provide stories on outcomes that are not always as accurate as they should be. We live in a world where transparency is key, maybe not full transparency all the time, but enough transparency where I, the client or brand should be getting a return on our investment or understanding why the audience or the content I was targeting is not working for me.(21:42):And I think that's, those are the pockets we need to start exploring and understanding, not so much the, how do I understand foot traffic on a day-to-day basis, but not convert that to sales when I'm extrapolating out 32 families, right? So that's really, really what I think needs to happen. And I think there's a lot of work to be done there and it's not going to happen overnight, but it starts here and starts with an advantage really.Ilyse Liffreing (22:06):Wow. And why do you think that the slow death of linear, as you said, has to happen for that?Liam Kristinnsson (22:15):I shouldn't say it has to happen. I think there is a time and a place for it, right? I think if I'm going to a bodega and I think I want a soft drink, that's their goal is to make sure that the first thing I think of is whatever the product is, but I think that time and a place is actually creating a lot of noise downstream and creating a lot of challenges for folks on the attribution and measurement side to actually understand and holistically look at their media purchases. And I think it's okay to have gross in terms of volume, ways of looking at how media should be purchased and leveraged, but I believe nine out of 10 clients really, they deserve the insights and the understanding of who is buying their products and how we can figure out how to kind of tie that together and improve into the next year.(23:10):That's how their products are going to build, especially with some of this like in certain categories. There's maybe too many brands or too little, right? Better data will inform beyond individual clients, but it'll enable people to start unique businesses that can compete in an area where there's clearly a lot of eager consumers,(23:35):Right?Ilyse Liffreing (23:36):Very cool. What's one piece of wisdom you'd pass on to other media leaders navigating the shift to programmatic?Liam Kristinnsson (23:43):Yeah. So I hate to say the same thing twice, but if I were to give one piece of wisdom is value your inventory that is going to be the future of your business and there are ways that you can improve your product and enable and improve a third party client or vendor's product, but racing to the bottom for what is happening tomorrow will not enable you next year. And it's a real concern in the marketplace, but my concern is actually twofold that it doesn't actually just hurt publishers, but it ends up ultimately hurting the brands and the people buying the inventory because they are going to receive exponentially more noise, right? And I think that as an industry with a lot of noise, we should really think about like how we can kind of isolate it into, and harness it into, into actual meaningful outcomes.Damian Fowler (24:48):If you could pick one brand that's really nailing programmatic right now, who would it be?Liam Kristinnsson (24:53):Without explicitly calling out a unique brand, but I'll give you two types of folks that are really nailing programmatic. One, I think is second tier auto brands where they are unlocking, and I really think Disconnected plays a great role here. They are unlocking and understanding how they can better access inventory for the right audiences, period. That could be isolating and understanding how I could serve ads from a reach perspective across the city of Des Moines, or it can be somebody looking for blonde-haired men that have two boxer dogs. Secondly, and I think this is part of the paradigm shift across the industry. I think there's quite a number of CPG brands that legacy-wise have really had outstanding success reaching mass eyeballs, whether it's through billboards, radio, traditional linear television. But now again, like they are able to fill a void across the whole ecosystem by getting better, more dynamic insights into the audiences that they're selling to, but also they're actually getting insights, period.(26:13):Retail data, you're talking about? Retail data, yes. And I think if I'm a chip brand, sometimes I want people to know my name first. And that's great. There's a need for that, but eventually you have to start focusing on how you can get money back from that. It's not just about getting your name out there, or it could be diversified. Maybe your name is out there, but now other names have come in, right? Now, how do you leverage the dynamic component of programmatic to diversify your creative and your ability to deliver to the same audience? It'll change the way we think and look at maybe traditional frequency capping or traditional exposure, but now the brand through Programmatic can really lead the new age of creative storytelling and how people understand or change the way people think they know products.Damian Fowler (27:13):And that's it for this edition of The Big Impression.Ilyse Liffreing (27:15):This show is produced by Molten Heart. Our theme is by Love and Caliber, and our associate producer is Sydney Cairns.Liam Kristinnsson (27:22):And remember ...

Limiting media consumption isn't avoidance—it's essential mental health careThe Tetris technique actually works: Research shows playing classic Tetris within 24 hours of trauma exposure can help prevent PTSD by engaging your brain's visual processing centersEmpaths need extra protection: If you're highly sensitive or empathic, you MUST actively call your energy back to yourself. You cannot process other people's trauma for themLook for the helpers, then BE one: From blood donations to checking on vulnerable friends to advocating for policy change—there are always meaningful ways to contributeRitual creates healing: Collective ceremonies, vigils, and shared practices help communities metabolize grief and strengthen bonds during crisisKids need minimal facts, maximum safety: Give children age-appropriate information, ensure they feel safe, and teach them how to support friends from affected communitiesYou're allowed to be okay when others aren't: This is a crucial boundary, especially for women conditioned to regulate everyone else's emotionsNOTABLE QUOTES:"We as humans are not designed to cope with 24/7 streaming news. We are not designed to cope with that level of information." — Leonie"You can help better when your energy is with you than scattered all around the place." — Tamara"You are allowed to be okay in your own body even when other people are not okay." — LeonieWHO THIS PODCAST IS FOR:This episode is for sensitive souls, empaths, and anyone who feels the weight of the world a little too heavily.

Erno Rubik, Alexey Pajitnov…. El creador del Cubo de Rubik y el creador de Tetris se han juntado, por primera vez, en un encuentro histórico del que Fallo de Sistema ha sido testigo. Son los arquitectos de la infancia de millones, de miles de millones de niños y sus compañías han presentado un ‘Rubik Tetris’ que supone la primera aventura conjunta de estas dos leyendas. Alexey vino a recibir el primer y prestigioso Premio OXO Legend, reconocimiento a toda una trayectoria y a un juego, Tetris, que es perfecto, eterno y forma parte de nuestra cultura al punto de que decimos que tenemos que hacerlo (un Tetris) cuando metemos cosas en un armario, en un maletero, etc. Y por si fuera poco, el presidente de Tetris, el hombre responsable de que Pajitnov ganara dinero por un juego que ya se estaba jugando, pero que tenía un lío legal detrás que sólo una mente brillante como la suya supo solucionar: Henk Rogers, que además presenta libro (Desde Rusia con amor. Tetris, el juego perfecto) donde cuenta su visión, bastante más real de lo que se cuenta en la película. Nos faltan dos leyendas, Don Víctor y Duque de Champagne, para completar este Tetris para la historia del programa. Escuchar audio

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy!Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1529"I think the biggest psychological crime is people fear running outta money instead of fear of wasting their life." - Bill PerkinsBill Perkins watched busloads of senior citizens arrive in St. Petersburg, Russia. Not a single person climbed the 115 steps to see the breathtaking view from the church balcony. They had the money for the trip, the time to travel, but their bodies wouldn't cooperate anymore. That moment crystallized everything he'd been thinking about how we get life backwards. We treat money like it's the goal when it's actually just a tool, one that loses effectiveness as our bodies and minds decline. Your body peaks at 33. After that, it's plateau and decline. Those hiking trips, those physical adventures, those experiences that require energy and health—they have expiration dates we refuse to acknowledge. We tell ourselves we'll do them later, when we're more financially secure, but later means weaker knees, less stamina, different limitations.Perkins talks about life in buckets, periods you'll never get back. Your twenties happen once. The years with small children happen once. Each phase has experiences designed for it, and if you miss them, they interfere with each other or disappear entirely. He uses a Tetris metaphor: imagine standing in heaven with God, throwing every experience you want into a bucket. Hiking, building businesses, raising kids, traveling to places that require climbing, all of it. God says you can have everything, you just have to get the order right. That's the game. That's what most people get catastrophically wrong. They're so afraid of judgment, so terrified of running out of money that they waste the periods of life when those experiences would mean the most, when their bodies could actually do them. This isn't about reckless spending. It's about understanding that your ability to convert money into fulfilling experiences decays over time, and no amount of savings can buy back the body you had at 33.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode of Archispeak, we pull back the curtain on what modern practice actually feels like when AI, meetings, and the architecture grind all collide. We talk about coming back from travel feeling not three weeks behind but three months, calendars that look like Tetris played on hard mode, and what happens when you join a call and realize you're the only human in a grid full of AI note-takers. Cormac and Evan dig into how AI meeting companions, transcripts, and recordings change the way we think, remember, and take responsibility for decisions—and why it's getting harder to even know where the “real” record of a project lives when it's scattered across Zoom chats, email, Revit, and shared drives.From there, we zoom out to the bigger question: what this nonstop communication and tool-stack chaos is doing to actual design work, mentorship, and the next generation coming up inside firms. We wrestle with whether AI is really relieving the grind or quietly raising expectations so everyone is “on” all the time, and we talk honestly about boundaries, attention, and how to carve out space for deep work in the middle of the mess.-----Have a question for the hosts?

Her book End of Discussion: How the Left's Outrage Industry Shuts Down Debate, Manipulates Voters, and Makes America Less Free (and Fun) came out in 2015 but basically predicts the next decade. A “natural contrarian,” Ham came to conservatism at a time when culture (and her Durham hometown) was dominated by liberals. It's made her a rigorous and original thinker, clear-eyed and calm amid the political circus. She talks with Nancy and Sarah about why Trump isn't a conservative, how her faith helped her endure the death of her first husband, and how that experience shaped her perspective on Erika Kirk's role since her husband Charlie's assassination, when Ham found herself playing “widow defense.” We also talk the Trump-Mamdani summit, motherhood, and the utility of political commentary.Also discussed:* It's good to have a weirdo in the room.* Unintended lessons of a ‘90s public-school education* MKH early inspiration: Rachel Campos-Duffy from The Real World* “Politics is just not fun,” and yet…* What is conservatism? * What Obama and Trump have in common* The Russiagate delusion * Marjorie Taylor Greene folds* The Tetris movie: Go, capitalism! * “Charlie himself, as an example, was a bulwark against so many bad examples.”* Admiration for George W's post-presidential ride into the sunset* The radical efficiency of freaking people out* The hunger to find hypocrisy among people of faith* A sunnier portrait of motherhood* “God is good no matter what.”* The necessary solace of Jeremiah 29:11* Enthusiasm plus delusion is a very bad combination, and yes, we're looking at you, Candace Owens* Mary Katherine to Nancy: “Get lifting.”* Sarah “resisted Apple TV for a heroic amount of time.”Plus, Kelsea Ballerini wonders what she missed, the over-selling of freezing one's eggs, Usha Vance gives good advice, and much more!Thanksgiving is a day to be grateful.

Jake shares the intense journey of building his Foundations of Excellence program, centering on a wild story about debugging code at 4:30 AM, that led to a breakthrough "fever dream" about invisible architectures in both programming and horsemanship.⁠Get Foundations Of Excellence Here⁠After spending hundreds of hours fixing a $2 billion ed-tech company's broken "premium" software, Jake discovered that horse training problems often mirror coding problems: both involve hidden structures and legacy "spaghetti code" that sabotages progress. He explains how bad training ideas create mental architecture that actively fights against learning, using a real example of a dressage student who couldn't grasp the concept of allowing horses to make mistakes as teaching opportunities.The episode dives deep into diagnostic horsemanship; the ability to see the load-bearing structures that are often hidden from view, understand first principles of how horses think and respond, and escape the "intermediate no man's land" where most riders get stuck fighting invisible problems they don't understand.Jake announces the official launch of Foundations of Excellence, available as a self-guided online course ($499 through Black Friday) or as a 15-week cohort with weekly personal coaching calls. He explains why this program represents "the next era of horsemanship", moving beyond the obsolete clinic model to create a more effective path to mastery.Get Foundations Of Excellence HereKey topics: Mental models in horsemanship, debugging belief systems, the architecture of learning, why protecting horses from mistakes creates dependent riders, and how to become your own trainer by understanding the hidden patterns that control everything in horse training.

Hey humans, let's talk about that hidden bottleneck that's absolutely killing your time to hire: scheduling. We're still playing calendar Tetris, sending those dreaded email chains back and forth. By the time you get everyone in the same virtual room, your perfect candidate has three other offers. This is the administrivia that's costing you top talent. But what if I told you that scheduling isn't your Achilles heel—it's your secret weapon? We're in a new world where a six-day scheduling standard is gold, and companies using automation are slashing their time to hire by 50%. This isn't just about saving your recruiters 14 to 17 hours a week, this is about the human experience. Think about it: manual scheduling takes 8 to 12 touchpoints for one interview. Automation cuts that down to one or two. That's a better impression of your organization. And here's what most people miss: when you cut that time to hire, your offer acceptance rates go up and your cost per hire drops. This one change affects all of your recruiting metrics. So, let's dive into it. In this episode, I'm giving you the playbook. We'll talk about the different tools, from enterprise-level products to integrating Calendly. We'll cover the pitfalls and watchouts, and I'll give you a three-step process to run a pilot, starting with your high-volume recs, so you can measure the ROI and make your business case. This is how we get better, faster, smarter. Stacie More episodes at StacieBaird.com.

September 1998 – Palo Alto, CA. Tetris co-creator Vladimir Pokhilko was found dead with a stab wound on the right side of his neck. His wife, Elena Fedotova, and 12-year-old son, Peter Pokhilko, were brutally killed. The case was ruled a murder-suicide, but the local Russian community insisted it was a Mafia hit. More than twenty years later, investigators are still searching for the truth of what happened.
