CONSCIENCE AND CONVERSION Colleague Mark Clifford, The Troublemaker. The 1989 Tiananmen Squaremassacre radicalized Lai, who transitioned from textiles to media, founding Next magazine and Apple Daily to champion democracy. Realizing the brutality of the Chinese Communist Party, he used his wealth to support the student movement and expose regime corruption. As the 1997 handover approached, Lai converted to Catholicism, influenced by his wife and pro-democracy peers, seeking spiritual protection and a moral anchor against the coming political storm.

Land Life is a technology-driven nature restoration company that restores landscapes degraded by wildfire, overfarming, and urbanization. The company combines proprietary remote sensing, machine learning algorithms, and hardware solutions to deliver end-to-end restoration projects spanning 40 years, monetized through voluntary and compliance carbon markets. With seven validated project design documents on Verra, Land Life has built a business model that requires customers to believe the company will exist for decades. In a recent episode of BUILDERS, we sat down with Rebekah Braswell, CEO of Land Life, to explore how the company navigated from global pilots in Saudi Arabia and the Galapagos to focused geographic operations, evolved its customer base from experimental tech buyers to conservative insurance companies, and repositioned its entire value proposition when climate dropped off corporate priority lists in 2024. Topics Discussed: Land Life's shift from selling technology components to customer-driven A-to-Z project delivery  Remote sensing dashboard that assesses ecological, operational, and economic feasibility before land visits  Securing environmental attributes while keeping land locally owned by landowners  Machine learning algorithms for determining optimal tree species, placement, and timing  Evolution from tech company early adopters to asset managers, financial institutions, and energy providers  The 2024 market standstill: how tariffs and defense spending displaced climate on corporate agendas  Strategic repositioning from "climate" to "resilience" language that connects to infrastructure and defense  Targeting biogenic customers in timber and agriculture with supply shed restoration strategies GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Let customer requirements redefine your product scope: Land Life initially sold discrete technology—cocoon hardware and software tools—to corporations. Buyers consistently responded: "great tech, but we sell shoes online for a living. I need a full project, A to Z." Rather than insisting on their original product definition, Rebekah agreed to plant trees and hire contractors despite "knowing very little at the time what it actually took." The company evolved from a technology vendor to a full-service restoration provider because that's what buyers would actually purchase. B2B founders should recognize when customer feedback reveals a larger market opportunity than their initial product scope, even if delivery capabilities don't yet exist. Target buyers whose operational experience mirrors your delivery complexity: Land Life struggled with tech companies despite strong initial traction because these customers operated on "much shorter term economic cycles" incompatible with 40-year projects. The company found stronger fit with financial institutions, insurance companies, and energy providers—buyers Rebekah described as "familiar with asset management, familiar with physical operations" who could "identify with some of the cycles that we have to manage in terms of planting windows." She told her team: "you know you have a business when an insurance company starts buying your product. These are conservative buyers." B2B founders with long implementation cycles, physical operations, or asset-intensive models should prioritize buyers with analogous operational complexity rather than chasing early adopters who lack relevant mental models. Build transparency infrastructure as core product, not marketing: For customers committing to 40-year relationships, Land Life addressed the fundamental trust problem through systematic monitoring and data sharing. Rebekah identified the specific perception barrier: "people have this image that people are just going out and planting trees and there's no accountability." The company's response wasn't better sales materials but "a data focused and transparent process" that continuously validates project performance. B2B founders selling long-term commitments should invest in measurement and reporting systems as primary credibility drivers, recognizing that transparency infrastructure is product, not overhead. Adapt positioning to buyer priority shifts without abandoning core value: When climate investments "came to a standstill for six months" in 2024, Land Life didn't pivot its business model—it reframed its language. Climate "just dropped on the priority list" as corporations focused on "AI, defense and tariffs." The company shifted to "resilience" positioning that "doesn't use the word climate in it" but connects to infrastructure, defense, and supply chain concerns. Critically, this wasn't invented messaging—Land Life had internally called their engineers "resilience engineers" for years because "you can't bet one climate scenario." B2B founders facing external market shifts should mine existing internal frameworks for language that naturally aligns with new buyer priorities rather than forcing artificial repositions. Expand value proposition beyond primary category benefit to operational impact: Land Life evolved from pure carbon sequestration sales to showing customers how restoration addresses their core operational risks. For biogenic customers—"people who work in timber, food and agriculture"—the pitch became: "if you're surrounded by a degraded ecosystem, it will eventually encroach" on your supply chain. Rebekah explained: "it's not just enough to have a robust supply chain like your field for example. Great that things are healthy there, but if you're surrounded by a degraded ecosystem, you know it will eventually encroach." This connected restoration directly to supply shed stability and de-risking rather than relying solely on carbon credit value. B2B founders should identify how their solution protects or enhances customers' existing operations, not just deliver category-specific benefits. Pursue partnerships to reach scale thresholds faster than organic growth allows: Rebekah emphasized that achieving buyer-required scale through partnerships is now essential: "buyers are looking for scale and it is hard for us, who are in nature based solutions and physical assets, to achieve that overnight." She advocated for "constructive and innovative partnerships where you can bring that scale to buyers, whether it's organic or just through partnering" as the path to "play at a different level." The sector signal is clear: "they want bigger volumes, they want stronger suppliers, and that path goes a lot more quickly when you partner, as opposed to trying to do it alone." B2B founders in capital-intensive or operationally complex businesses should view partnerships as strategic accelerators to reach minimum viable scale, not just growth tactics. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co // Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

David Stifter spent 20 years as head of technology at Colony Capital, managing systems for a $60 billion private equity real estate firm. When a longtime AP specialist retired, the company lost its institutional knowledge for coding complex invoices across thousands of entities and tenant relationships. After a year evaluating RPA, template-based approaches, and early OCR solutions, David recognized that structured historical data—invoices paired with their coding—could train AI models to capture implicit business rules. Five years ago, at 40 with young children, he left his executive role to build PredictAP. The company now processes tens of thousands of invoices monthly for firms including Bridge Investment Group, demonstrating how operational expertise combined with AI can solve problems that pure technology approaches miss. Topics Discussed Identifying AI use cases with structured annotated data and human feedback loops  Moving from CTO buyer to vendor founder and discovering which networks actually convert  Building repeatable sales motion after exhausting warm introductions  Technology adoption barriers in real estate and the domain expertise requirement for vertical SaaS  Hiring sales leadership to scale from founder-led to systematic pipeline generation  Solving complete workflow integration challenges beyond isolated technical problems GTM Lessons For B2B Founders Match technical approach to problem structure, not trend: David identified three critical elements for his AI application: structured annotated data from historical invoice coding, recognizable patterns in implicit business rules, and human review as a feedback mechanism. He notes many founders "try to shove AI, the AI hammer to smash any nail, but they're not always the best use case." Six years ago, before modern LLMs, he used historical invoice-coding pairs as training data—solving the annotation problem that plagued early machine learning. Founders should evaluate whether their problem has the structural characteristics that make a given technology approach viable, rather than applying trending solutions to force market fit. Network quality reveals itself when you need something: David contrasts two early investors: a former acquisitions executive who promised extensive connections but delivered "not a single callback" after leaving their role, versus an asset manager who generated "hundreds" of leads through genuine relationships. The acquisitions person experienced "an existential crisis" realizing "my network was based upon my ability to have a massive checkbook behind me." Founders should recognize that network strength isn't tested until you're asking rather than giving—those who built relationships through consistent helpfulness rather than transactional power will see different response rates when they launch. Architect the founder-led to systematic sales transition: After two years of founder-led sales, David "hit that wall" and brought in Steve Farrell, prioritizing experience scaling from $3-5M to $20M ARR over industry-specific expertise. He notes warm intro calls are "very to the point" while cold outreach "starts hostile or skeptical"—requiring entirely different trust-building approaches. The shift required adding BDRs, AEs, and systematic content generation. Founders should hire sales leadership with specific stage experience before network depletion forces reactive hiring, and expect to rebuild positioning for skeptical buyers who lack pre-existing trust. Integrate solutions into existing workflow infrastructure: David emphasizes the failure mode of optimized point solutions: "They have a perfect solution from the technical problem but it's not going to work for this firm because it's not going to fit into their workflow." He maps the complete experience including integration with existing systems, training requirements, user experience, consistency, and speed. Technical superiority in isolation leads to "problems with adoption and retention." Founders should map every system, process, and stakeholder their solution touches, designing for workflow integration rather than isolated problem-solving. Sequence customer sophistication as you scale beyond innovators: David's initial customers were "leading edge folks" from his technology network who understood AI potential. As PredictAP matured, sales cycles became "much longer" with more conservative firms requiring higher proof thresholds. He learned that "initial sales have to be very successful and you have to have customers that advocate for you" because mainstream buyers need extensive social proof. Founders should recognize that early adopter ICP differs fundamentally from mainstream buyers—what closes innovators (technology potential) differs from what closes pragmatists (proven ROI and references), requiring distinct positioning and sales approaches for each segment. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co // Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

Ed Kashi on Archiving, Personal Projects & the Future of Photojournalism Insights from the “10 Frames Per Second” Podcast with photojournalist Ed Kashi, co‑founder of Talking Eyes Media, and his newest book A Period of Time (Briscoe Center, UT Austin). Ed's career spans 40 years of visual storytelling—from early analog darkrooms to iPhone coverage of Hurricane Sandy, from Iraq's Kurdish frontlines to a decades‑long “Aging in America” project. His journey offers timeless lessons for anyone who creates, curates, or consumes visual media. 10 Frames Per Second – a weekly photojournalism podcast from Loyola Radio (WLOY) – brings together veteran photojournalists to discuss the craft, the business, and the stories that shape our world. In episode 168 (released 12/02/25), hosts Molly Roberts, and guest host Stephen Crowley (a guest on Episode 91) sit down with Ed Kashi, a 40‑year visual storyteller who has worked for National Geographic, The New Yorker, Time, MSNBC and more. “We love to start with an origin story. So, Ed, how did you first fall in love with photography?” – Molly The interview uncovers the hidden gems behind Kashi's career, his new retrospective book, and the lessons he's learned while navigating a changing media landscape. If you're a photojournalist, documentary filmmaker, or simply love visual storytelling, you've just landed on a summary of Ed Kashi's recent interview on the 10 Frames Per Second podcast. We break down: Ed Kashi's origin story and why photography hooked him 50 years ago. The making of his new book A Period of Time (Briscoe Center, UT Austin). Why archiving is essential for a sustainable career. The power of personal projects—especially his “Aging in America” series. Mentorship tips for emerging photographers. Ethical challenges in the age of AI. Grab a coffee, skim the headings, and dive into the actionable takeaways! How Ed Kashi Fell in Love With Photography Freshman at Syracuse University (1976) – originally wanted to be a novelist, but a poetry professor told him he was “a really bad writer.” Discovered the Newhouse School of Public Communications, one of the world's top photojournalism programs. Took a basic black‑and‑white darkroom course, learned about legendary photographer Imogen Cunningham (who was still shooting in her 90s). Realized photography could synthesize politics, art, and storytelling—the perfect medium for his activist spirit. “Even at age 10 I was stuffing envelopes for Hubert Humphrey against Nixon. Photography just seemed the vehicle to combine that political impulse with art.” Takeaway for Readers If you're just starting out, look for a mentor or a historic figure who inspires you. That spark can sustain a 50‑year career. A Period of Time: A 40‑Year Retrospective Why a Retrospective Now? Archive donation – Ed Kashi gave 127 banker‑boxes of negatives, slides, prints, and ephemera to the Briscoe Center for American History (UT Austin). Unexpected invitation – Briscoe's director, Don Carlton, asked Ed Kashi, “How does one get collected?” and then offered to collect him. Creative freedom – The Center gave him full editorial control: “This is your story. Do whatever you want.” The Book's Core Idea Linear, issue‑oriented storytelling – Each chapter is a deep dive into a major project (e.g., Northern Ireland, Kurds, Aging in America). Scholarly rigor meets journalistic depth – The book reads like a photo‑anthropology textbook with stunning visuals. “Opening the book felt like holding a newborn—overwhelming but beautiful.” The Power of a Well‑Organized Archive “My archive is like a garden; I can harvest what I need because everything is sorted.” – Ed Kashi How Ed Kashi Keeps His Archive Manageable Early adoption of digital workflow – Transitioned from analog boxes to searchable digital files. Meticulous cataloguing – Every image tagged by date, location, project, and theme. Professional support – Collaborated with studio managers (e.g., Frish Brandt) and curators (e.g., Alison Nordstrom). Benefits for Photojournalists Monetization – Ability to license old images for new publications. Storytelling efficiency – Quickly locate relevant photos for pitches or books. Legacy preservation – Ensures future generations can study and exhibit the work. Quick Tips to Organize Your Own Archive Create a consistent naming convention (YYMMDD_Location_Project_Sequence). Use metadata tags for keywords, people, and locations. Back up on at least two external drives and a cloud service. Review annually – purge duplicates and update tags. Personal Projects: The “Aging in America” Series Why Aging? Not “sexy” but universally human – Kashi wanted a topic that would outlive trends. Long‑term commitment – 8 years, 25 states, $300k in grant funding (Robert Wood Johnson, George Soros). Humanizing statistics – The project shows “the vitality of life, love, and hope” beyond the typical “dying” narrative. Key Outcomes Iconic image – Death scene of Maxine Peters (West Virginia) that resonates across cultures. Global collaboration – “Climate Elders” exhibition at COP 30, involving 150 photographers from 40 countries. Lessons for Emerging Photographers Research first; then shoot – Deep immersion builds trust and authentic moments. Secure funding early – Grants give creative freedom and resources. Be patient – Long‑term projects earn credibility and impact. Mentorship & Teaching: Ed Kashi's Advice for New Photographers Area Kashi's Insight Actionable Tip Tenacity “Failure is not an option; keep going.” Set mini‑milestones; celebrate small wins. Ethics No manipulation, no staging; honor subjects as collaborators. Draft a personal ethics checklist before each shoot. Access Build relationships; be respectful of vulnerable communities. Attend local events, volunteer, network before pitching. AI & Credibility Trust reputable media; AI threatens misinformation. Verify sources; use AI for organization, not image creation. Joy of Photography Keep the joy alive—look at others' work for inspiration. Schedule weekly “inspiration sessions” with peers. Ethics & AI: The New Frontier Ed Kashi worries about political actors using AI to fake images, not about entertainment misuse. He believes trusted news outlets (NYT, BBC, National Geographic) will gain more value as AI blurs reality. Over‑post‑production can create a gloomy aesthetic that misrepresents the world. Practical Guidance Never alter factual content in post‑production. Label AI‑generated edits clearly if they're artistic. Teach media literacy: help audiences distinguish authentic journalism from AI‑fueled “deepfakes.” Closing Thoughts, Ed Kashi Call‑to‑Action Ed Kashi's journey—from a panic‑driven freshman at Syracuse to a globally respected visual storyteller—offers an actionable roadmap for anyone chasing a sustainable photojournalism career. Archive like a gardener. Invest in personal, issue‑driven projects. Mentor, learn, and stay ethically grounded. Embrace technology wisely, especially AI. Want More?

Welcome back to Snafu with Robin Zander. In this episode, I'm joined by Kevan Lee and Shannon Deep, co-founders of Bonfire – a creative studio reimagining what it means to build brands, tell stories, and live meaningful lives. We talk about how Bonfire began as a "Trojan horse" – a branding agency on the surface, but really a vehicle for deeper questions: What does fulfilling work look like? How do we find meaning beyond our careers? And how can business become a space for honesty, connection, and growth? Kevan and Shannon share how their partnership formed, what it takes to build trust as co-founders, and how vulnerability and self-awareness fuel their collaboration. We explore their path from tech and theater to building Bonfire, hosting creative retreats, and helping founders tell more authentic stories. We also dive into how AI is changing storytelling, the myth of "broetry" on LinkedIn, and why transparency is the future of marketing. If you're curious about what's next for creativity, leadership, and meaningful work, this episode is for you. And for more conversations like this, stay tuned for Responsive Conference 2026, where we'll be continuing the dialogue on human connection, business, and the evolving role of AI. Start (0:00) How Bonfire Started (14:25) Robin notes how transparent and intentional they've been building their business and community Says Bonfire feels like a 21st-century agency – creative, human, and not traditional Invites them to describe what they're building and their vision for it Kevan's response: Admits he feels imposter syndrome around being called an "entrepreneur" Laughs that it's technically true but still feels strange Describes Bonfire as partly a traditional branding agency They work with early-stage startups Help with brand strategy, positioning, messaging, and differentiation. But says the heart of their work is much deeper "We create spaces for people to explore what a fulfilling life looks like – one that includes work, but isn't defined by it." Their own careers inspired this – jobs that paid well but felt empty, or jobs that felt good but didn't pay the bills Bonfire became their way to build something more meaningful A space to have these conversations themselves And to invite others into it This includes community, retreats, and nontraditional formats Jokes that the agency side is a Trojan horse – a vehicle to fund the work they truly care about Shannon adds: They're agnostic about what Bonfire "does" Could be a branding agency, publishing house, even an ice cream shop "Money is just gas in the engine." The larger goal is creating spaces for people to explore their relationship to work Especially for those in transition, searching for meaning, or redefining success Robin reflects on their unusual path Notes most marketers who start agencies chase awards and fame But Shannon and Kevan built Bonfire around what they wished existed Recalls their past experiences Kevan's path from running a publication (later sold to Vox) to Buffer and then Oyster Shannon's shared time with him at Oyster Mentions their recent milestone – Bonfire's first live retreat in France 13 participants, including them Held in a rented castle For a two-year-old business, he calls it ambitious and impressive Asks: "How did it go? What did people get out of it?" Shannon on the retreat Laughs that they're still processing what it was They had a vibe in mind – but not a fixed structure One participant described it as "a wellness retreat for marketers" Not wrong – but also not quite right Attendees came from tech and non-tech backgrounds The focus: exploring people's most meaningful relationship to work Who you are when you're not at your desk How to bring that awareness back to real life — beyond castles and catered meals People came at it from different angles Some felt misaligned with their work Others were looking for something new Everyone was at a crossroads in their career Kevan on the space they built The retreat encouraged radical honesty People shared things like: "I have this job because I crave approval." "I care about money as a status symbol." "I hate what I do, but I don't know what else I'd be good at." They didn't force vulnerability, but wanted to make it safe if people chose it They thought deeply about values – what needed to be true for that kind of trust Personally, Kevan says the experience shifted his identity From "marketer" to something else – maybe "producer," maybe "creator" The retreat made him realize how many paths are possible "Now I just want to do more of this." Robin notes there are "so many threads to pull on" Brings up family business and partnerships Shares his own experience growing up in his dad's small business Talks about lessons from Robin's Cafe and the challenges of partnerships Says he's fascinated by co-founder dynamics – both powerful and tricky Asks how Shannon and Kevan's working relationship works What it was like at Oyster Why they decided to start Bonfire together And how it's evolved after the retreat Kevan on their beginnings He hired Shannon at Oyster – she was Editorial Director, he was SVP of Marketing Worked together for about a year and a half Knew early on that something clicked Shared values Similar worldview Trusted each other When Oyster ended, partnering up felt natural – "Let's figure out what's next, together." Robin observes their groundedness Says they both seem stable and mature, which likely helps the partnership Jokes about his own chaos running Robin's Café – late nights, leftover wine, cold quinoa Asks Shannon directly: "Do you still follow Kevan's lead?" Shannon's laughs and agrees they're both very regulated people But adds that it comes from learned coping mechanisms Says they've both developed pro-social ways to handle stress People-pleasing Overachievement Perfectionism Intellectualizing feelings instead of expressing them "Those are coping mechanisms too," she notes, "but at least they keep us calm when we talk." Building Trust and Partnership (14:54–23:15) Shannon says both she and Kevan have done deep personal work. Therapy, reflection, and self-inquiry are part of their toolkit. That helps them handle a relationship that's both intimate and challenging. They know their own baggage. They try not to take the other person's reactions personally. It doesn't always work—but they trust they'll work through conflict. When they started Bonfire: They agreed the business world is unpredictable. So they made a pinky swear: Friends first, business second. The friendship is the real priority. When conflict comes up, they ask: "Is this really life or death—or are we just forgetting what matters?" Shannon goes back to the question and clarifies  Says they lead in different ways. Each has their "zone of genius." They depend on each other's strengths. It's not leader and follower – it's mutual reliance. Shannon explains: Kevan's great at momentum: He moves things forward and ships projects fast. Shannon tends to be more perfectionist: Wants things to be fully formed before releasing. Kevan adds they talk often about "rally and rest." Kevan rallies, he thrives on pressure and urgency. Shannon rests, she values slowing down and reflection. Together, that creates a healthy rhythm.  Robin notes lingering habits Wonders if any "hangovers" from their Oyster days remain. Kevan reflects  At first, he hesitated to show weakness. Coming from a manager role, vulnerability felt risky. Shannon quickly saw through it. He realized openness was essential, not optional. Says their friendship and business both rely on honesty. Robin agrees and says he wouldn't discourage co-founders—it's just a big decision. Like choosing a spouse, it shapes your life for years. Notes he's never met with one of them without the other. "That says something," he adds. Their partnership clearly works—even if it takes twice the time. Rethinking Marketing (23:19) Kevan's light moment: Asks if Robin's comment about their teamwork was feedback for them. Robin's observation  Notes how in sync Shannon and Kevan are. Emails one, gets a reply CC'd with the other. Says the tempo of Bonfire feels like their collaboration itself. Wonders what that rhythm feels like internally. Kevan's response  Says it's partly intentional, partly habit. They genuinely enjoy working together. Adds they don't chase traditional agency milestones. No interest in Ad Age lists or Cannes awards. Their goal: have fun and make meaningful work. Robin pivots to the state of marketing (24:04) Mentions the shift from Madison Avenue's glory days to today's tech-driven world. Refers to Mad Men and the "growth at all costs" startup era. Notes how AI and tech are changing how people see their role in work and life. Kevan's background  Came from startups, not agencies. Learned through doing, not an MBA. Immersed in books like Hypergrowth and Traction. Took Reforge courses—knows the mechanics of scaling. Before that, worked as a journalist. Gained curiosity and calm under pressure, but also urgency. Admits startup life taught him both good and bad habits. Robin notes  Neither lives the Madison Avenue life. Kevan's in Boise. Shannon's in France. Shannon's background Started in theater – behind the scenes as a dramaturg and producer. Learned how to shape emotion and tell stories. Transitioned into brand strategy in New York. Worked at a top agency, Siegel+Gale. Helped global B2B and B2C clients define mission, values, and design. Competed with big names like Interbrand and Pentagram. Later moved in-house at tech startups. Saw how B2B marketing often tries to "act cool" like B2C. Learned to translate creative ideas into language that convinces CFOs. Says her role often meant selling authentic storytelling to risk-averse execs. Admits she joined marketing out of necessity. "I was 27, broke in New York, and needed a parking spot for my storytelling skills." Robin connects the dots  Notes how Silicon Valley's "growth" culture mirrors old ad-world burnout. Growth at all costs. Not much room for creative autonomy. Adds most big agencies are now owned by holding companies. The original Madison Avenue independence is nearly gone. Robin's reflection  Mentions how AI-generated content is changing video and storytelling. Grateful his clients still value human connection. Asks how Bonfire helps brands tell authentic stories now that the old model is fading. Kevan's take  Says people now care less about "moments" and more about audiences. It's not about one viral hit—it's about building consistency. Brands need to stand for something, and keep showing up. People want that outcome, even if they don't want the hard work behind it. Shannon adds Notes rising skepticism among audiences. Most content people see isn't from who they follow, it's ads and algorithms. Consumers are subconsciously filtering out the noise. Says that's why human storytelling matters more than ever. People crave knowing a real person is behind the message. AI can mimic tone but not authenticity. Adds it's hard to convince some clients of that. Authentic work isn't fast or easily measured. It requires belief in the process and a value system to match. That's tough when your client's investors only want quick returns. Robin agrees  "Look at people's incentives and I'll tell you who they are." Shannon continues Wonders where their responsibility ends. Should they convince people of their values? Or just do the work and let the right clients come? Kevan says they've found a sweet spot with current clients. Mostly bootstrapped founders. Work with them long-term instead of one-off projects. Says that's the recipe that fits Bonfire's values and actually works. The Quarter Analogy (35:36) Robin quotes BJ Fogg: "Don't try to persuade people of your worldview. Look for people who already want what you can teach, and just show them how." He compares arguing with people who don't align to "an acrobat arguing with gravity – gravity will win 100% of the time." The key: harness momentum instead of fighting resistance. Even a small, aligned audience is better than chasing everyone. Kevan shares Bonfire's failed experiment with outbound sales: They tried reaching out to recently funded AI companies. "It got us nowhere," he admits. That experience reminded him how much old startup habits – growth at all costs, scale fast – still shape thinking. "I thought success meant getting as big as possible, as fast as possible. That meant doing outbound, even if it felt inauthentic." But that mindset just added pressure. Realizing there were other ways to grow – slower, more intentional – was a relief. Now they've stopped outbound entirely. Focused instead on aligned clients who find them naturally. Robin connects it to a MrBeast quote. "If I'm not ashamed of the video I put out last week, I'm not growing fast enough." He says he doesn't love the "shame" part but relates to the evolution mindset – Looking back at work from six months ago and thinking, I'd do that differently now. Growth as a visible, measurable journey. Robin shifts to storytelling frameworks: Mentions Kevan and Shannon's analogies about storytelling and asks about "the quarter analogy." Kevan explains the "quarter" story: A professor holds up two quarters: "Sell me the one on the right." No one can – until someone says, "I'll dip it in Marilyn Monroe's purse." That coin now has emotional and cultural value. Marketing can be the same – alchemy that turns something ordinary into something meaningful. Robin builds on that: You can tell stories about a coin's history – "Lincoln touched it," etc. But Kevan's version is different: adding new meaning in the present. "How do you imbue something with value now that makes it matter later?" Shannon's take: It's about values and belonging. "Every story implicitly says: believe this." That belief also says: we don't believe that – defining who's in your tribe. Humans crave that – community, validation, connection. That belonging is intangible but real. "Try selling that to a CFO who just wants ROI. Impossible — but it's real." Kevan adds: Values are one piece – authenticity is another. Some brands already have a genuine story; others want to create one. "We get asked to dip AI companies into Marilyn Monroe's purse," he jokes. The real work is uncovering what's true or helping brands rediscover it. The challenge: telling that story consistently and believably. Robin mentions Shannon's storytelling framework of three parts – Purpose → Story frameworks → Touch points. Shannon breaks it down: Clients usually come in with half-baked "mission" or "vision" statements. She uses Ogilvy's "Big Ideal" model: Combine a cultural tension (what's happening in the world) with your brand's best self. Then fill in the blank: "We believe the world would be a better place if…" That single sentence surfaces a company's "why us" and "why now." It's dramaturgy, really — same question as in theater: "Why this play now?" "Why us?" Bonfire's own version (in progress): "We believe the world would be a better place if people and brands had more room to explore their creativity." Kevan adds: it's evolving, like them. Robin relates it back to his own story: After selling Robin's Café, he started Zander Media to tell human stories. He wanted to document real connections — "the barista-customer relationships, the neighborhood changing." That became his north star: storytelling as a tool for change and human connection. "I don't care about video," he says. "I care about storytelling, helping people become more of who they want to be." Kevan closes the loop: A good purpose statement is expansive. It can hold video, podcasts, even a publishing house. "Maybe tomorrow it's something else. That's the beauty — it allows room to grow." Against the Broetry (49:01) Kevan reflects on transparency and values at Bonfire He and Robin came from Buffer, a company known for radical transparency — posting salaries, growth numbers, everything. Says that while Bonfire isn't as extreme about it, the spirit is the same. "It just comes naturally to invite people in." Their openness isn't a tactic – it's aligned with their values and mission. They want to create space for people to explore – new ideas, new ways of working, more fulfilling lives. Sharing their journey publicly felt like the obvious, authentic thing to do. "It wasn't even a conversation – just who we are." Shannon jumps in with a critique of business culture online Says there's so much terrible advice about "how to build a business." Compliments Robin for cutting through the noise – being honest through Snafu and his newsletter. "You're trying to be real about what selling feels like and what it says about you." Calls out the "rise and grind" nonsense dominating LinkedIn: "Wake up at 4 a.m., protein shake at 4:10, three-hour workout…" Robin laughs – "I'll take the three-hour workout, but I'll pass on the protein shake." Shannon and Kevan call it "broetry" The overblown, performative business storytelling on social media. "I went on my honeymoon and here's what I learned about B2B sales." Their goal with building in public is the opposite: To admit mistakes. To share pivots and moments of doubt. To remind people that everyone is figuring it out. "But the system rewards the opposite – gatekeeping, pretending, keeping up the facade." Shannon says she has "no patience for it." She traces that belief back to a story from college Producer Paula Wagner once told her class: "Here's the secret: nobody knows anything." That line stuck with her. Gave her permission to question authority. To show up confidently even when others pretend to know more. After years of watching powerful men "fail upward," she realized: "The emperor has no clothes." So she might as well take up space too. Transparency, for her, is a form of connection and courage – "When people raise their eyes from their desks and actually meet each other, that's power." Robin thanks Shannon for the kind words about Snafu. Says their work naturally attracts people who want that kind of realness. Then pivots to a closing question: "If you had one piece of advice for founders – about storytelling or business building – what would it be?" Kevan's advice: "Look beyond what's around you." Inspiration doesn't have to come from your industry. Learn from other fields, other stories, other worlds. It builds curiosity, empathy, and creativity. Robin sums it up: "Get out of your silos." Shannon's advice: "Make the thing you actually want to see." Too many founders copy what's trendy or "smart." Ask instead: What would I genuinely love to consume? Remember your audience is human, like you. And remember, building a business is a privilege. You get to create a small world that reflects your values. You get to hire people, pay them, shape a culture. "That's so cool, and it should make you feel powerful." With that power comes responsibility. "Everyone says it's about making the most money. But what if the goal was to make the coolest world possible, for as many people as possible?" Where to find Kevan and Shannon (57:16) Points listeners to aroundthebonfire.com/experiences.

While the Anglo-American style was to use heavy artillery to control threatening bears, the vaqueros preferred to rope them from the back of a well-trained horse. This method of bear control required a great deal of skill and was a dying vaquero art.  What can we learn from this?   Eventual Ad Slot   Personal Gear Chat and Updates: Mike First things first: Gideon warranty issue.  I broke it!! Not on purpose! Military Ducks!  Campsite, flock was 200 yards away.  Put the stalk on em, low, rolilng.  Klecker's holster held up amazingly.  Didn't think about wind till it was prob too late.   Slept so bad.  Got about three hours and when I noticed it was getting light, got up to set decoys. Just when I was starting to fret (20 mins in) first flock came in.  Found a downside to the Advocate: it fogged.  That's probably fixable with some anti fog spray.  Regardless, the mount on the 1187 allows use of the bead sight.  Transitioned to the bead and dropped a drake Just about 40 mins later, another flock of four flew over and came in.  Dropped one, then another. Wanna talk about the bird behavior I witnessed.  Holy shit they're pilots. Went on a bit of a row.  Chased the buffleheads around but they're wise to me.  Found some mergs and took one down.  All I hear is how bad they taste.  So what do I do?  Make an omelet.  Honestly, it was incredible.  Like a damn good steak omelet.  I will happily shoot mergs again.  First time ever, ended up with 3 packages of excess duck meat.

Sermon Summary — Zechariah: Session 3 Text: Zechariah 3–4 Theme: “Not by Might, Nor by Power, but by My Spirit” Speaker: Pastor Matthew Robbins (LWWC) 1. Opening and Ministry Update Pastor opened with thanksgiving: in just six days, 32 new nations began listening to the church's broadcast — evidence that God's Word is reaching the world. Prayer emphasized the importance of being “found in the Word, following the Word, and structuring our lives around the Word.” Transitioned into Zechariah 3, explaining the historical background: The people of Israel had returned from Babylonian exile. The prophets Haggai, Zechariah, and Nehemiah encouraged them to rebuild the temple and walls of Jerusalem. 2. The Ark and God's Faithfulness Pastor recalled the history of the Ark of the Covenant, which never changed — from Moses to David to Solomon — symbolizing God's unchanging nature. He shared conviction from the Holy Spirit: the original Ark still exists and will one day reappear when Israel rebuilds the temple. Israel has reportedly reconstructed priestly garments and temple furnishings, preparing for restoration. Key lesson: God never changes; His covenant stands forever. When the Ark reappears, it will be a global sign of God's faithfulness and sovereignty. 3. Joshua the High Priest and Filthy Garments (Zechariah 3) Vision: Joshua the high priest stands before the angel of the Lord while Satan accuses him. Joshua is clothed in filthy garments, symbolizing human sin and unworthiness — even a priest cannot stand clean before God on his own. God rebukes Satan and commands that Joshua's filthy garments be removed and replaced with rich robes and a clean turban marked “Holiness to the Lord.” Meaning: God removes iniquity and clothes His people with righteousness. Salvation is not self-earned — “We can't clean ourselves; the Lord must do it.” Application: Many people say, “I'll fix myself before I come to God.” Pastor rebuked this thinking: “You don't clean up to come to Jesus — you come to Jesus to be cleaned up.” 4. The Branch — Jesus Revealed The angel declares: “I am bringing forth My servant, the Branch.” This is a prophecy of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, who removes iniquity “in one day.” That “one day” refers both to: Israel's restoration (1948 — national prophecy fulfilled in a day). Christ's crucifixion, where sin was forgiven once for all. Through Christ, believers are clothed in righteousness — the Old Testament points directly to Jesus. 5. The Vision of the Lampstand and Olive Trees (Zechariah 4) Zechariah sees a golden lampstand (menorah) with seven lamps and two olive trees beside it. The angel explains: “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit.” Zerubbabel, a descendant of David, was leading the rebuilding of the temple. Meaning: Human effort cannot accomplish God's work — it is only through the Holy Spirit. “Some trust in chariots and horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord.” 6. Watchman Nee and the Broken Vessel Pastor shared insights from Watchman Nee's “The Release of the Spirit.” The alabaster box story illustrates that the value is not the vessel, but what's inside. The Holy Spirit must be released through a broken life. Our cleverness or intellect can block the Spirit's flow — we must depend fully on God's Word and Spirit. True ministry touches the spirit, not merely the emotions or intellect. Key quote: “If I only tell stories but don't use the Word of God, I'm touching your soul, not your spirit.” 7. The Capstone and the Mountain God tells Zerubbabel: “Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain.” Symbolic of God leveling obstacles through grace and power. “He shall bring forth the capstone with shouts of ‘Grace, grace!'” The capstone (or chief cornerstone) represents Christ, the head and completion of all things. Pastor drew connections to Egypt's pyramids and ancient symbolism, explaining how the “capstone” points to unity under Christ — “the head of the body.” 8. The Two Olive Trees — Moses and Elijah The two olive trees represent the two anointed ones who “stand beside the Lord.” Pastor identified them as Moses and Elijah — symbols of the Law and the Prophets. These two appear repeatedly: On the Mount of Transfiguration (Matthew 17). As the two witnesses in Revelation 11, prophesying during the tribulation. Moses' body was divinely preserved; Elijah was taken up without dying — both return to testify of Christ's glory. Their ministries align perfectly with Revelation's description: Elijah shuts up the heavens (no rain). Moses turns water to blood and releases plagues. 9. The Word Deposited in Us Pastor closed with a powerful exhortation: Reading and hearing Scripture is like making spiritual deposits. The Holy Spirit later draws from what you've stored. “The Holy Spirit goes to your bank account — make sure there's something in it.” God's Word feeds the spirit, not just the mind. “You don't have to retain everything — just keep putting it in. The Holy Spirit will bring it out when it's needed.” 10. Final Exhortation God's Word must govern us — not the other way around. Pastor concluded with this charge: “Don't come to the Bible trying to make it fit you. Come to it and fit yourself to it.” Closing prayer asked that the Word of God come alive, ignite prayer, and make believers a light in their generation. Key Themes God's unchanging faithfulness (the Ark). Cleansing through Christ alone. Ministry through the Spirit, not human might. The prophetic unity of the Law and the Prophets fulfilled in Jesus. Living by the Word — daily deposits of truth.

Transitioned from exercise physiologist at Chevron to working with the Rich Dad team as master distributor of the Cashflow game. Building Wealth Through Sequencing Success comes from taking the right steps in the right order—structure before deals. Real estate investors fail when they do the right things at the wrong time. The Power of Mentorship and Team Mentors open doors, but you must provide value and take action. Success is built with a strong, trusted team—not by going solo. Raising Millions Through Databases Used her database of 18,000 people to raise $16M for projects in Oklahoma. Consistent communication and investor education are essential for long-term success. Debt as a Wealth Tool Don't fear debt—leverage it wisely for higher returns. Millionaires use “good debt” to accelerate wealth, not avoid it.

This episode first appeared in 2024, and here's what I had to say... There's one question that gets asked in this week's episode that's really stuck with me and that I continued to ponder even after we'd said our goodbyes and turned our microphones off...And that question is: how do you know when you have become the person that you're supposed to be?By that I mean - at what point do you say 'yes this is the person I was supposed to be' rather than continue to strive and figure that out? Or, do you just kind of like make do with who you presently are and accept that that might change one day?And it's one of those annoying questions where there probably isn't an answer, so it's not worth expending any energy trying to figure it out, but if you have any suggestions do let me know!But for now, let's focus on our guest for this week's episode, Amethysta Herrick, writer and host of the Gender Identity Weekly podcast.Amethysta came out as a trans woman in 2022, but if you've ever come out then you know that it takes a lot of mental computation and processing to get to that point and it's usually something that you know about a long time before you're willing to share it with the wider world.But luckily for us we have queer spaces where it's safe to explore these things.And, one of the places that helped Amethysta explore and understand her identity was the Athens, Georgia bar Boneshakers, where, way back in the 90s, she got to try out an alternate identity - she named herself Selina after Catwoman's civilian name - and just got to flirt, hang out, and exist as herself.

In this episode of The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex, we sit down with Dr. Alex Planes—an inspiring entrepreneur who turned humble beginnings and massive adversity into a thriving multi–eight-figure dental empire. From moving to the Dominican Republic at 21 with no clear path, to battling financial stress, rejection, and even discrimination, Dr. Planes never let setbacks define him. Instead, he built a blueprint for growth—scaling practices from $300K to $2.5M in record time. You'll hear how Alex: Used vision boards, mindset, and resilience to overcome self-doubt and tough circumstances. Invested in professional development and team training to multiply revenue tenfold. Applied marketing strategies—direct mail, SEO, and social media—to drive massive patient growth. Transitioned from dentist to consultant, helping others build their own dental empires. Whether you're a dentist, entrepreneur, or simply chasing growth in your own life, this conversation is packed with lessons on faith, focus, and execution.
