The ecommerce boom during COVID, subsequent decline, and current resurgence driven by brands diversifying into ancillary marketplaces and omnichannel strategies. Regionalized SEO, referral-based marketing, and content marketing are effective strategies for 3PL warehouses to generate leads.

Apologetics Live episode 209 Prepare yourself for a dynamic, thought-provoking journey through the realm of Calvinism. Bold promises are made here - you'll get to unravel the essence of this doctrine, understand its misrepresentation, and delve into its practical implications. We tackle many theological topics, discuss the challenges of debating Calvinism, and examine the misperceptions surrounding it. The conversation propels deeper into the theological fabric of Calvinism and its practical aspects. We dissect the doctrines of superintending, concurrence, regeneration, and irresistible grace that form the essence of Calvinism. We also dissect controversial topics like Open Theism and its implications on the perception of God, reconciling God's justice with human free will. Greg Boyd's arguments and their impact on our lives in relation to God form a significant part of this discussion. We culminate this intriguing conversation with an exploration of the confusion between justification and sanctification and the Christian's works as described in the book of James. In the third part, we shift gears and focus on the lifestyle and belief aspects in Christianity. Using scriptural references, we highlight how our conduct should reflect the Gospel of Christ. We discuss the often confusing concepts of regeneration and salvation, and how to become a 'new creation' in Christ. We further grapple with the misinterpretation of Bible passages, the challenge of responding to false teachers, and the essence of remaining faithful to the Gospel. Lastly, we share some updates about upcoming conferences and activities, providing a glimpse of how to balance ministry and travel in these uncertain times. So, get ready to embark on this enriching journey and gain a fresh perspective on myriad theological concepts.

Joey Krug is the co-CIO at Pantera Capital, the first U.S. institutional asset manager focused exclusively on blockchain technology, with 4.1bn assets under management.Joey is also the co-founder of the Forecast Foundation, contributing to the development of Augur (a decentralized oracle and prediction market protocol).Joey is a pioneer in the world of blockchain finance, and I want to take this opportunity to discuss two leading questions: how might the final takeover of defi (decentralized finance) over tradfi (traditional finance) look like?What are the barriers we need to overcome?As the co-CIO of the largest institutional crypto investor in the world and a private angel investor, few people have traversed the two worlds more than Joey.This gives Joey a unique set of sometimes surprising insights.For example, the liquidity of token investments is a double-edged sword. Token investments provide investors with more flexibility but investments with more extended holdup periods tend to perform better.Pantera's most successful investments were from their venture fund.The big win for defi would be to do away with the bloat of large banks: real estate footprint, manual transaction processing, and regulatory compliance.We discuss regulatory compliance extensively. The problem in tradfi is that legal norms evolve around the assumption of centralized entities developing regulations, but many of the necessary guardrails can instead be written in code.The problem with tradfi is not lack of financial products. Many traditional financial products, like mortgages or stock market exchanges, do make sense to Joey.What defi can instead do is participation in the system can be more global, more 24/7 (although that's not only an advantage), and more efficient.One of the key things to get right to make defi more available is to make it more user-friendly to the average consumer - a lot of work remains to be done.Infinita Website: https://infinitavc.com/Upcoming Conferences in Prospera: https://lu.ma/infinita

It was so fun to chat with Kelsey Merkley (@bella_velo) during our second #InVinoFab interview -- women telling their stories. There was a wealth of stuff we chatted about and we hope you enjoy listening to the conversation as much as we had chatting:Kelsey thinks that more women need to be leaders and recognized for the work they do in the open education movement and in education. From biking to South Africa from Canada and building bridges between communities in the global south, Kelsey is always considering what the access and opportunities for learning. We need to encouraging ways to have more dialogue with those who aren't always at the table/classroom/conference to be cognizant include a voice that is not always heard, specifically to ensure we have access to knowledge and the opportunity-cost that we miss out on by not learning from an audience that is more representative of all nations. How can we learn to solve issues in education from others? How can we offer space for other voices and remove the barriers for learning? As a former librarian, Kelsey believes in access to information and ensuring knowledge is equitably shared. Some of the open technologies (ahem MOOCs) did not necessarily change the world, but it has gotten her thinking about the user experience and their own digital affordances beyond our North American experience. From the way we structure the web to the content we load onto each page, the digital pathway to accessing information is not the same and there are so many inequities for those learners who might not have the same privileges. Who are we providing learning to? What are the barriers faced when accessing learning globally? Have we thought about these issues in Canada or the US -- when there are remote areas with limited internet access?Ways we can consider access for women in education and at our conferences:-Are we offering educational scholarships to women who might not have access?-Are there funds or scholarships for women to a conference?-Is there childcare offered at the conference you are attending? Why or why not?-Are we thinking about ways to make connections at events or conferences? E.g. coffee breaks, morning breakfast, open networking, etc.-Can we create more spaces to have a chat or engage in dialog? E.g. space in the program of a conference, taking time for open discussions at meetings, etc.Resources Mentioned in this episode#100Day100Women Drawing 100 heroic women in 100 days https://medium.com/@Wikimedia/drawing-100-heroic-women-in-100-days-de88ef33f142 by @RoriComics-Wikipedia https://www.wikipedia.org/ non-profit organization designed to share information.-Wiki Education https://wikiedu.org/ connecting higher ed to the publishing power of Wikipedia.-Creative Commons https://creativecommons.org/ to legally share knowledge and creative works.Upcoming Conferences mentioned: Creative Commons Global Summit (April 13-15, 2018) in Toronto, ON, Canada https://summit.creativecommons.org/  BC Campus Festival of Learning (May 28-30, 2018) in Vancouver, BC, Canada https://bccampus.ca/festival-of-learning-2018/ Uncommon Women http://uncommonwomen.org/Uncommon Women is a space to offer voices, experiences, and work shared by the open education community in higher ed.

SPaMCAST 465 features our essay on re-booting teams. Not every team issue can be solved with a standard pallet of techniques. However, nearly every consultant (internal or external) will have set of tools that they have ready just in case. We discuss techniques and impacts! We will also have a column from Kim Pries (The Software Sensei).  Kim discusses why software structure can be a blessing and a curse. While Kim tends to favor structure there are times when it does not deliver the benefits promised. Steve Tendon brings Chapter 20 of Tame The Flow: Hyper-Productive Knowledge-Work Performance, The TameFlow Approach and Its Application to Scrum and Kanban  (buy a copy here).  Our discussion of Chapter 20 was passionate and in-depth.  It will be released in two or 3 parts. A promo! I am participating in the Agile Online Summit 30 Oct - 3 Nov 2017 At the summit, I talk about the power of storytelling with Tom Henricksen! ⇒ Register For other events SPaMCAST team members will be attending check the recent blog entry titled Upcoming Conferences and Webinars!

Re-Read Saturday News This week we begin the re-read of Actionable Agile Metrics for Predictability: An Introduction by Daniel S. Vacanti. Actionable Agile Metrics is published by Leanpub, 2015 and has 17 chapters with a preface and bibliography across 307 pages.  Buy your copy today and read along! Re-read Game Plan: Vacanti indicates that he wrote the book to be read in a serial fashion, chapter by chapter, even though each chapter can be read and used alone. My re-read plan is to read and review the material a chapter a week.  If the pacing is too slow I will combine chapters.  This has been the standard re-read approach.  A new twist that we will add to this re-read is that after every three chapters I will host a group discussion that will be posted on the Software Process and Measurement feed. Our current plan is to complete the re-read in 19 weeks (tentatively completed on February 17th).

SPaMCAST 463 features our essay on using big picture stories to generate resonance.  Early in the history of Agile, most descriptions of Agile included the need to define a central metaphor to help guide the work.  Somewhere over time, the idea of a central metaphor has disappeared as Agile thought leaders have focused on more tactical facets of Agile methods and frameworks. It’s time to reconsider the big picture story! We will also have columns from Gene Hughson of Form Follows Function fame.  Gene and I discuss his recent essay, Management, Simple and Wrong – Semantics, Systems, and Self-Correction.  This essay is about the meaning and includes an appearance from Snidely Whiplash.

SPaMCAST 461 features our essay - Agile -- Leadership Required.  For an Agile transformation to be effective and then stay effective there are four cornerstones of Agile leadership constancy that must be addressed with passion and constancy of purpose. Our second column this week is from Kim Pries (The Software Sensei). Kim fills in the middle of the cast with a discussion of the conceptual skills a software developer should have. To be good in this industry you need to be more than a set of coding languages or testing techniques.   Steve Tendon, brings chapter 19 of Tame The Flow: Hyper-Productive Knowledge-Work Performance, The TameFlow Approach and Its Application to Scrum and Kanban published J Ross (buy a copy here). We tackle Chapter 19, which is titled Understanding Common Cause Variation.  Steve share insights that caused me to rethink the whole idea of common cause variation. Here is a promo for my appearance during the Denver Startup Week.  On Thursday, September 28th at 8 AM I will be sharing Storytelling: Developing the Big Picture for Agile Efforts.  The presentation, in Denver, Colorado, will be at held at Industry.  Register and be there!!!! A well-done Agile project reminds us that the focus of any set of requirements needs to be on an outcome rather than a collection of “whats” and “whos”. Storytelling is a powerful tool to elevate even the most diehard requirements analyst from a discussion of individual requirements to a discussion of outcomes. Attend this session and learn how to peel away the proverbial layers of the backlog evolution “onion” by using storytelling techniques to understand the big picture. Perfect for PMs and leaders of any agile driven project.

SPaMCAST 459 features our essay on resistance.  Organizational change is a common, almost ubiquitous, feature in today’s business world. Change is known under many monikers ranging from transformation to creative destruction.  The variety of names is a portent to the one constant in any organizational change: resistance.  Some resistance is inevitable, even if everyone is involved in the plan.Organizational change will always foment some degree of resistance that unless recognized can fester and lead to failure. This essay will help you find and mitigate the risk of resistance! The second column this week is from Gene Hughson and his Form Follows Function column. Gene discusses his essay titled Innovation, Intention, Planning, and Execution. One of the gems Gene delivers in our discussion is that effectiveness requires reasoned, intentional action. While we might all agree, why is it so hard to remember that when push comes to shove in a project? Jeremy Berriault brings his QA Corner to the cast in order to discuss testing packages.  Jeremy weighs in on whether testing a package is any different than testing any other piece of code.

SPaMCAST 458 features our interview with Billie Schuttpelz.  We discussed why many organizations need help learning to use agile and lean.  We delved into the role of the coach and facilitator in helping an organization change and shape the message of change.  If you are involved in organizational transformations this is a must-listen interview. Billie’s short bio: Billie is a ‘force of nature’ breaking up the boulders blocking transformation; building bridges between technical people and business partners. She applies the perspective gained in a 20 year career including engagements in 5 countries to provide dynamic creativity and positive energy to everything she does. Billie’s ability to make the impossible seem possible is what powers agile transformations.

Re-Read Saturday News This week Steven dives into Chapter 7 of Paul Gibbons’ book The Science of Successful Organizational Change.  Change is a central activity of every organization.  How changes happen is not as straightforward as commanding that change happens.  No one likes to be changed or manipulated.  Self-organization maximizes the impact of change but alas no change is like waving a magic wand.

This week Ben Edmunds and Phil Sturgeon are joined by Jacques Woodcock and Jordan Kasper to discuss virtPHP. virtPHP is a tool for managing multiple environments on your development machine. It is similar to Python’s virtualenv or Ruby’s rbenv, but for PHP. Upcoming Conferences Phil will be speaking at PHP South Africa in April. Ben has no idea what he will attend this year. Jacques will likely be speaking at True North PHP later this year. Jordan will be speaking at jQuery UK in May and at Dutch PHP in June.
