What if the biggest threat to your brand's profitability isn't the next tariff or supply chain disruption, but an outdated playbook that forces you to choose between raising prices on loyal customers or sacrificing your margins?Agility requires more than just reacting quickly to market changes; it requires the intelligence to anticipate them and automate the optimal response. Today, we're going to talk about how leading retail brands are navigating complex economic pressures like tariffs and inflation—not by resorting to the old tactics of deep discounts or across-the-board price hikes, but by deploying AI to create a more resilient and intelligent operation. We'll explore how AI is helping brands maintain pricing stability, turn insights from major shopping events into real-time strategy, and fundamentally shift teams from staring at dashboards to taking automated, margin-protecting actions. To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Sai Koppala, CMO at CommerceIQ. About Sai Koppala Sai brings over 20 years of marketing and strategy experience.

We explore how the lie of Santa contradicts the Truth at the heart of the Gospel and how it can unintentionally distort the way children view God, grace, and His love.This isn't an episode about legalism or fear — it's about discernment, discipleship, and elevating the beauty of Jesus above cultural myths.Please leave a comment or review for this episode to help us share this content with others!

⏱️ El tema principal comienza en el minuto 33:14.En este episodio entramos en uno de los mecanismos más inquietantes de la historia moderna: La Máquina Social.Una fuerza invisible capaz de moldear sociedades enteras sin que estas lo perciban; un sistema de condicionamiento que transforma vecinos en vigilantes, periodistas en silencios, y naciones completas en engranajes obedientes.Parte 1 nos lleva a un viaje profundo:primero a Argentina en 1976, donde la dictadura militar convirtió el miedo en política, el silencio en método, y la obediencia en cultura nacional. Desde el “enemigo interno” hasta los Falcon verdes sin matrícula, desde las desapariciones hasta la guerra de Malvinas, reconstruimos cómo se ejecutó uno de los experimentos de ingeniería social más impactantes de América Latina.Luego saltamos a Estados Unidos para abrir otro expediente:Operation Mockingbird, el programa secreto donde la CIA transformó el periodismo en un instrumento de poder. Aquí entenderás cómo se cocinó la información durante décadas, cómo se fabricaron narrativas globales, y cómo nació la era del “fast-food informativo”, donde las ideas ya no se investigan… se ensamblan.Usamos ejemplos reales, documentos desclasificados, testimonios históricos y experimentos psicológicos —como Asch y Milgram— para mostrar por qué las sociedades obedecen, por qué repiten, por qué callan… y cómo ese condicionamiento aún funciona hoy.Este episodio no es sobre izquierdas o derechas.No es sobre política.Es sobre cómo se moldea la mente humana… y cómo se puede liberar.Bienvenido a La Máquina Social – Parte 1.Un episodio para quienes sospechan que el verdadero peligro no es que te mientan…sino que llegues a creer que la mentira siempre estuvo ahí.Para contactarnos directamente: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠conspiraciones21@protonmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

What if the biggest threat to your brand's agility and security isn't a competitor, but the welcome mat you lay out for your own partners? Agility requires not just the ability to move quickly, but the confidence to do so securely. It's about building a foundation of trust that enables seamless collaboration without introducing unnecessary risk. Today, we're going to talk about a critical, yet often overlooked, aspect of brand agility: the digital experience we provide to our third-party partners. From marketing agencies to technology vendors, these relationships are essential, but the very processes meant to enable them—like onboarding and system access—can often be the source of massive friction, security risks, and a fundamental breakdown of trust. To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Haider Iqbal, Director, Identity & Access Management at Thales. About Haider Iqbal Haider is a technology leader and strategist with a career that spans consulting, sales, acquisitions, and product marketing across multiple regions.

With roots in management consulting and a track record of translating complex technology into business growth, Haider brings both breadth and depth of expertise.

In this raw, unfiltered interview, Doralee finally reveals the real story behind the woman she became before she ever became a coach—childhood wounds, marriage battles, identity collapse, and the moment she walked away from counseling for good. You'll hear the truth she's never shared publicly about the depression, insecurity, and self-sabotage that almost destroyed her… and the breakthrough that rebuilt her. We dive into Latina cultural conditioning, root-cause healing, relationship patterns, motherhood, and the harsh truths women avoid until their life forces them to listen. But the biggest shock? The one mindset Doralee had to kill to find peace—and the truth about why so many women still sabotage the love they pray for.And if this episode wakes something up in you… Doralee's Healing Tour hits Tucson, AZ on December 20 — doors open at 6PM.

What if the multi-million dollar AI initiative you're championing is being silently sabotaged, not by a competitor, but by your own data infrastructure?Agility requires more than just fast decision-making; it requires a data foundation that can deliver insights at the speed of business, without the traditional delays of moving and duplicating information. This ability to access and act on real-time, comprehensive data is what separates brands that lead from those that follow.Today, we're going to talk about the silent killer of AI projects. While everyone focuses on the glamour of AI models and algorithms, the reality is that most enterprise initiatives stall or fail at the data layer. We'll be discussing why even modern data warehouses can create new roadblocks, and how a different approach to data management can make your enterprise data truly AI-ready.To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Ravi Shankar, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer at Denodo.

During the chaos of the holiday season, is it possible for small retailers to turn their fragmented customer data into a perfectly timed, personalized marketing, or are they destined to just add to the noise? Agility requires not just collecting customer data from every channel, but having the insight and tools to act on it in the moments that matter most. It's the ability to translate a customer signal into a relevant experience, instantly.Today, we're going to talk about how small and mid-sized retailers can punch above their weight during the critical holiday season. We'll explore the challenge of turning fragmented customer data from online browsing, email clicks, and even in-store visits into a cohesive strategy that drives precision-targeted campaigns, creates loyal customers, and, most importantly, delivers measurable ROI in a complex, multi-channel world.

A fala do presidente chinês Xi Jinping, criticando políticas assistencialistas na América Latina e alertando para o risco de criar “grupos de preguiçosos”, levantou uma contradição fundamental sobre o funcionamento do modelo chinês. Neste vídeo, investigamos a cultura de trabalho que sustenta a potência econômica que a China se tornou nas últimas décadas. Você entenderá como o país que domina setores industriais inteiros mantém jornadas intensas como o “996”, fiscalizações frágeis, baixa proteção social e disparidades internas profundas — fatores que impulsionaram seu crescimento, mas que também cobram um preço social elevado.

A América Latina vive mais um ponto de virada. Em meio ao enfraquecimento de governos de esquerda e ao avanço da direita em diversos países, cresce a pergunta: estamos diante de uma nova onda política no continente? Neste episódio do Magna Carta, analisamos a formação histórica desses ciclos e o impacto que podem ter no futuro do Brasil. Ao longo da história, a América do Sul se moveu em ondas políticas claras: independências, populismos, ditaduras, redemocratizações, bolivarianismo e, agora, um possível novo realinhamento. Chile, Argentina, Colômbia, Venezuela e Brasil vivem tensões que apontam para uma reorganização profunda. Entender esses ciclos é fundamental para compreender o presente e antecipar o futuro político do continente. Magna Carta: Ricardo Gomes oferece análises informativas sobre os acontecimentos que moldam o Brasil e o mundo. Conecte-se com reflexões sobre história e política, fundamentais para decifrar o presente e antecipar os rumos do futuro. Um espaço para quem busca compreender as raízes dos desafios atuais e as perspectivas que se desenham. Informação e análise de impacto. No programa de hoje: A nova onda de direita na América Latina.

A chegada do maior porta-aviões do mundo — o USS Gerald R. Ford, uma supermáquina nuclear de guerra — ao mar do Caribe reacendeu temores de uma possível operação militar norte-americana contra a ditadura de Nicolás Maduro. Com a operação Lança do Sul, os Estados Unidos intensificam o combate ao narcotráfico na América Latina, classificando o Cartel dos Sóis, comandado por membros do alto escalão chavista, como organização terrorista estrangeira. Esse movimento amplia a base legal para ações diretas contra o regime venezuelano. Ao mesmo tempo, Maduro mobiliza milícias, convoca jovens aos quartéis, reforça alianças com a Rússia e tenta sustentar sua narrativa de soberania nacional diante da pressão americana. Mas estamos realmente diante do risco de uma guerra? O Brasil poderá ser arrastado para esse conflito?

Donald Trump y su replica sudamericana, Javier Milei, están desestabilizando el Caribe y amenazando las elecciones en Honduras. Mientras el jefe imperial marca el ritmo, su socio menor, Milei, no duda en hacer el ridículo: cancela cumbres y vota en contra de investigar la tortura con tal de complacer al amo. En este episodio, desglosamos este dúo dinámico de la desestabilización y su guerra contra los gobiernos soberanos en el "patio trasero". Además, el panorama completo de la Patria Grande: los ataques a México, la prisión de Bolsonaro y sus generales en Brasil, y un resumen de lo más candente de la semana.

In this raw conversation, Sasha and Francia Raisa pull back the curtain on what it's actually like to have a public career while your hormones and mental health are in chaos. Francia shares how she went from landing back-to-back hit shows to quietly falling apart: severe depression, terrifying night sweats, gut issues, PCOS, endometriosis, and PMDD that had her sobbing in her trailer between takes. They talk about body image, being a Latina in an industry obsessed with boxes and accents, and why women so often keep pushing through when everything in their body is saying stop. Part 2 goes even deeper into freezing her eggs and redefining her future.

This episode explores how gratitude is more than a holiday feeling — it's a spiritual discipline rooted in Scripture. Through an exegesis of 1 Thessalonians 5:18, the story of the woman with the alabaster jar, and practical ways to stay grateful during the Christmas rush, you'll learn how to cultivate a thankfulness that lasts long after the season ends.Please leave a comment or review for this episode to help us share this content with others!

The Tucson native was an outspoken leader on a school board and longtime civil servant before winning a special election to fill her late father’s seat, Raul Grijalva. She says her progressive values align with his. Congresswoman Grijalva spoke to us about her upbringing and her future in a party where “Democrats being a watered down version of Republicans is not gonna cut it for the American people.

In a world drowning in data, is the 'big creative idea' for a holiday campaign an endangered species, or is it more critical than ever? Agility requires not just moving fast, but moving with confidence. It's the ability to validate creative instincts with real-world data, ensuring that your biggest bets are also your smartest ones. Today, we're going to talk about the high-stakes world of holiday advertising and the delicate balance between creative magic and data-driven methodology. We're going to talk about one such campaign for John Lewis, a popular British Department store whose holiday ads are a cultural event in the UK, where the stakes can be high. And they aren't alone. The holiday season is the equivalent of the Super Bowl for many brands, where a single campaign can define the entire year. Yet, for every heartwarming success story, there are countless others that miss the mark. So how do brands de-risk their biggest creative investments and ensure their message will actually resonate with consumers?

For most entrepreneurs, the exit is the goal, as well as the end of at least that part of their story. But what if the end is actually a new beginning? Agility requires a deep understanding of your brand's core purpose and the conviction to protect it. This often means having the courage to reverse a decision that was once seen as the ultimate success. Today, we're going to talk about brand integrity, the founder's paradox of building a company to sell, and what happens when you get a second chance to reclaim the brand you created. We'll explore the delicate balance between corporate scale and entrepreneurial soul, and how a brand's purpose can be its most resilient asset. To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Mark Rampolla, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Groundforce Capital. About Mark Rampolla Mark Rampolla is a visionary entrepreneur and the founder of ZICO Coconut Water, a brand that helped create the now $8 billion global coconut water category. After growing ZICO into one of the fastest-growing beverages worldwide, Mark sold the company to Coca Cola in 2013. He then transitioned into investing, co-founding PowerPlant Partners, where he played a key role in the plant-based food movement, including the success of Beyond Meat. In 2020, Mark made a bold move by repurchasing ZICO from Coca Cola with a group of investors, including Jesse Itzler and tennis star Naomi Osaka. Now, through GroundForce Capital, Mark manages $500 million in assets, focusing on health, wellness, and sustainability investments. His journey reflects a deep commitment to innovation and positive change in the consumer goods industry.
