AI is flipping the script on search—and most brands aren't ready. In this episode, I sat down with Bloomberg to break down the massive shifts happening in digital marketing, thanks to AI-powered search engines, and how every brand—from Fortune 500s to startups—needs to urgently adapt.We talk about what Apple's shift away from Google search really means, how AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Perplexity are changing consumer behavior, and why lazy marketers who rely too much on AdWords are going to lose.Whether you're a brand operator, a marketing exec, or an entrepreneur trying to stay ahead of the curve—this one's for you.

Jim's guest this week is Nicole Parlapiano, the Chief Marketing Officer of Tubi, and the woman behind so much of the strategy and innovation that sets Tubi apart from its competitors. When we launched this podcast in 2019, no one had heard of Tubi.

Learn how to create an inclusive workplace Diversity in the workplace is essential for fostering innovation, growth, and success. It goes beyond meeting quotas and ticking boxes; it's about embracing different perspectives and experiences that challenge the status quo and drive positive change.

This diversity of thought leads to more innovative and effective solutions, as teams can tap into a wide range of perspectives to solve complex problems.

Join me as I take you on an incredible journey of growth within VaynerMedia. From my humble beginnings – to now overseeing the cultural aspect – I've witnessed the company's remarkable expansion from 289 employees to a global workforce of 2,000 in just 9 years! Let's dive into how I helped foster a thriving company culture and the power of long-lasting bonds among our amazing team. Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: A successful career in advertising as a strategist Introduced to Gary Vaynerchuk in 2013 and started working with him in 2014 The role evolved to becoming the Chief Heart Officer The ability to connect with and mentor others A strong sense of community and culture A belief that culture is the heartbeat and pulse of the company Episode Highlights: [00:07] The Journey from Advertising Strategist to Chief Heart Officer I've had an incredible journey in the advertising industry, working as a strategist for many years. It was a stroke of luck that I landed a job in San Francisco during the dot-com boom in 1998. I focused on digital advertising, helping clients develop effective strategies to bring their products to market. My career took an exciting turn when my best friend introduced me to Gary Vaynerchuk in 2013. We instantly connected, and in May 2014, I joined his team. It's been nine years since then, and I've had the privilege of working closely with Gary and being a part of this amazing organization. [00:51] Embracing Connection and Culture Working with Gary Vaynerchuk revealed that my role went beyond client work. People sought me out for mentorship and genuine conversations. On my one-year anniversary, I expressed my passion for focusing on people and the organization's culture. Surprisingly, Gary appointed me as the Chief Heart Officer, a privilege that speaks to his trust in me. This journey is incredibly special and meaningful. [01:55] Building a Thriving Community: The Growth, Longevity, and Heartbeat of Our Organization When I first joined, we were a team of 289 individuals. Now, we have expanded to a global workforce of 2000 people, experiencing remarkable growth. What sets us apart is the longevity of our team members, with most staying for four to ten years. This creates a rich environment of osmosis learning and shared experiences. I am truly appreciative of the shorthand communication and emotional efficiency we have cultivated, along with the deep bonds and friendships formed. It's incredible to witness the love that has blossomed within our organization, resulting in marriages and even the birth of our first Vayner baby, a name thoughtfully coined by Gary. For me, this culture embodies the heartbeat of our organization and represents the essence of who we are. Resources Mentioned: VaynerMedia
Leading with your heart might be a scary phrase to some old-school leaders out there. But my guest today knows a thing or two about leading a fast-paced, successful company - without sacrificing human connection.Claude Silver believes showing up with heart and humanity is the key to unlocking greatness in people. Today, she shares her incredible personal story, what a Chief Heart Officer does, how it differs from HR, how empathy has fueled Vayner Media's growth, and their value of kind candor, as opposed to radical candor. We debunk myths and fears many leaders have about empathy at work, and she shares so many examples of how Vayner Media walks its talk in being a people-first organization while still holding everyone accountable and achieving success. To access the episode transcript, please click on the episode title at www.TheEmpathyEdge.comKey Takeaways:The old models of command and control leadership are not going to take you into the future, they will not attract top talent, and the companies will be gone in less than 20 years if they aren't willing to evolve. Empathy doesn't just roll downhill from leaders to staff, it needs to roll up hill to so that we're partnering, no matter what our level, but also we're accountable, no matter what our level.You are a giant. Create your mission statement, your northstar statement, that will help you to understand what your purpose is every single day, not only when you have time to do it. You were hired for a reason - amplify your skills and your strengths. You are not anyone else around you, you have your own light to shine and your own greatness to bring to your organization at whatever level you are at right now. "People are not assets, people are your company. Heart is the central operating system of any human being and human beings right now, and probably tomorrow, are the central operating system of your company and culture." — Claude Silver About Claude Silver: Chief Heart Officer, Vayner MediaClaude Silver believes showing up with heart and humanity is the key to unlocking greatness in people. As the world's first Chief Heart Officer at Vayner Media, she sees it as her job to infuse empathy into every aspect of the organization. As a speaker, podcaster, and LinkedIn influencer, she's now inspiring other leaders to do the same. At a young age, Claude was repeatedly told she thinks too much with her heart — something she has now learned is her superpower. As a non-traditional learner, she left college after two years and had an epiphany while on a 93-Day Outward Bound trek: it was up to her to change the narrative of her life, and in order to do so, she had to change her thinking. This power has evolved into what Claude calls “Emotional Optimism”: a concept that is key to her Heart-First leadership style. With Claude as Chief Heart Officer, Vayner has grown from a team of 400 to a Global team of 2000. She has proven that empathy plays a role in fueling growth and does everything she can to make each and every human feel safe, seen, valued, and included. This involves taking a hard look at how leadership is showing up, identifying cynicism and toxicity, and taking the crucial steps to flush it out. Claude's success coaching and leading people and guiding client relationships come from a mantra that she teaches to everyone she crosses paths with: “Be someone people want in the room”.

To access the episode transcript, please click on the episode title at www.TheEmpathyEdge.comKey Takeaways:The old models of command and control leadership are not going to take you into the future, they will not attract top talent, and the companies will be gone in less than 20 years if they aren't willing to evolve. Empathy doesn't just roll downhill from leaders to staff, it needs to roll up hill to so that we're partnering, no matter what our level, but also we're accountable, no matter what our level.You are a giant. Create your mission statement, your northstar statement, that will help you to understand what your purpose is every single day, not only when you have time to do it. You were hired for a reason - amplify your skills and your strengths. You are not anyone else around you, you have your own light to shine and your own greatness to bring to your organization at whatever level you are at right now. "People are not assets, people are your company. Heart is the central operating system of any human being and human beings right now, and probably tomorrow, are the central operating system of your company and culture." — Claude Silver About Claude Silver: Chief Heart Officer, Vayner MediaClaude Silver believes showing up with heart and humanity is the key to unlocking greatness in people. As the world's first Chief Heart Officer at Vayner Media, she sees it as her job to infuse empathy into every aspect of the organization. As a speaker, podcaster, and LinkedIn influencer, she's now inspiring other leaders to do the same. At a young age, Claude was repeatedly told she thinks too much with her heart — something she has now learned is her superpower. As a non-traditional learner, she left college after two years and had an epiphany while on a 93-Day Outward Bound trek: it was up to her to change the narrative of her life, and in order to do so, she had to change her thinking. This power has evolved into what Claude calls “Emotional Optimism”: a concept that is key to her Heart-First leadership style. With Claude as Chief Heart Officer, Vayner has grown from a team of 400 to a Global team of 2000. She has proven that empathy plays a role in fueling growth and does everything she can to make each and every human feel safe, seen, valued, and included. This involves taking a hard look at how leadership is showing up, identifying cynicism and toxicity, and taking the crucial steps to flush it out. Claude's success coaching and leading people and guiding client relationships come from a mantra that she teaches to everyone she crosses paths with: “Be someone people want in the room”.

The 365 Days of Astronomy, the daily podcast of the International Year of Astronomy 2009
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xObLkCR57pY Streamed live on Nov 9, 2022. Host: Fraser Cain ( @fcain ) Special Guest: Since its final commissioning and being placed in service, JWST has been delivering on its promise to provide unprecedented insight into the most distant — and oldest — regions of our Universe. Whether it's providing a new view of our nearby neighbor Jupiter, or sussing out never-before-seen details of the iconic Eagle Nebula and its Pillars of Creation, let's face it - the imagery so far has been nothing less than stunning! But more importantly, the data being collected by JWST's onboard instrumentation are allowing scientists the ability to peer back in time to study the oldest cosmic structures while they are still in their infancy, potentially unlocking never-before understood processes that have led to the Universe as we know it today. This week we are joined by Dr. Andrey Vayner, a member of a multinational team led by Dominika Wylezalek of Heidelberg University (Germany) that has been studying SDSS J165202.64+172852.3, an “extremely red” QUASAR that dates back to the earliest days of the Universe, some 11.5 billion years ago. Using data collected by NIRSpec, JWST's near infrared spectrograph (https://webb.nasa.gov/content/observa..., the team has been able to confirm the presence of not just one, but three, companion galaxies of the QUASAR that are actively in the process of merging. Andrey is a Postdoctoral Fellow at Johns Hopkins University Physics and Astronomy Department. He obtained his Ph.D. from UC San Diego in 2019. He studies how galaxies and supermassive black holes evolve over cosmic time using advanced ground and space-based telescopes. His current focus is on early-release science observations with JWST, studying the most powerful active galactic nuclei that are heavily obscured by dust.

Avery Akkineni knows a thing or two about NFTs and Web3. She's the president of Vayner3 (formerly VaynerNFT). Like many, I study and follow closely what Vayner is doing and use it as a guide for my own path. In this episode, we dig into how we can apply the same strategies and techniques that Vayner uses in our own businesses. Visit https://vayner3.com/ for more insight. Here's a bit about Avery: President of Vayner3, Avery Akkineni, is leading the mission to guide the world's largest enterprises in navigating the next iteration of consumer behavior, Web3. In July 2021, Akkineni launched the VaynerX consultancy, Vayner3 (previously known as VaynerNFT), alongside serial entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk. Partnering with dozens of Fortune 500 corporations across industries, Vayner3 has successfully advised organizations on strategic Web3 initiatives across cryptocurrency applications, NFT program development, and immersive digital experiences. A leader, mentor, and investor in pioneering Web3 projects and communities, Akkineni is also an active advisor for several tech platforms; serving on the Board of Advisors of OneOf and Tracer, on the Web3 Advisory Board for Salesforce, Meta Creative X, and Facebook's Metaverse Council, in addition to being a founding BFF and PTTOW! member. Before the launch of Vayner3, Avery spearheaded VaynerMedia's expansion into the Asia-Pacific region, building a team of 150 people and opening VaynerMedia offices in Singapore, Bangkok, Tokyo, and Sydney, while securing 2021 Independent Agency of the Year (Gold) within two years. Avery spent her early career at Google, working across Search, YouTube, and DoubleClick.
With the Ethereum Merge expected to debut sometime next week (September 14th or 15th), there are wrong narratives going around. In today's episode, we seek to shed light on the whole transition from a reputable source, someone that has and is still influencing the Web3 community; Allen Hena. He is a technology, cryptocurrency, and digital asset consultant and advisor focused on developing strategies, leadership, and education in the rapidly changing cryptocurrency and Web3 sectors. He is also the Director of Web3 Operations at Vayner. In the episode, Allen clears the air on false narratives of 'protecting yourself from the Merge and stresses the importance of being careful and informed. An innovation is happening, enabling more adoption and with this evolution comes more efficiency! Allen wraps up by clarifying the commonly asked questions on the debut and how to move forward with The Merge.

Aleyna Dogan is a strategist at Vayner3, Twitter spaces audio host with Rarible, author of a weekly newsletter called NFTimes, photographer, and graduate of NYU Gallatin where she studied technology ethics. She has been on various podcasts talking about ethics in web3, gives workshops about NFTs, and publishes other articles about web3 on One37pm and CryptoSlate.Welcome to the Summer Series of Culture Factor. I'm Holly Shannon.When I was speaking and interviewing at NFT NYC I noticed themes that almost every one of my conversations touched.This new Web3 digital space is made up of artists, collectors and businesses and when we stopped to scratch the surface, these underlying themes all pointed toward our most basic, fundamental, evolutionary need: connection.Over the next few weeks, I'm going to break down the whys, not just the whats, of this new digital space we find ourselves in.Hello Culture Factor Family, and welcome to the summer series.During my interviews at NFT NYC, a theme that revealed itself underneath the Web3 technology was the different kinds of user experience.Technology accessibility, fiat (or, real cash money)vs. cryptocurrency, social media, personal expression, community, and education these are all facets of user experience that I've noticed directly affect people's engagement in this space — both literally and metaphorically.1. This is my second Vayner voice on the show and I see that you are immersed in the new vertical that is Vayner3, are you excited to be on the ground floor of this?2. The First episode of Season 4 was at NFT NYC and I was interviewing artists and collectors about the user experience. The vantage point was the friction that an artist or collector will bump into in the initial growth of this space and around adoption of the tools. Where do you see the user experience maturing?3. Switching from User Experience, I realize you are passionate about the human experience. What do you think that specifically is like in the NFT/Web3 space? And please give me the perspective of the artist and the collector.4. Let's tap into Web 3 ethics which has become your specialty: How does the artist protect themselves? Is there a perfect smart contract on the blockchain?5. How does the collector protect themselves from predatory behavior?

Avery Akkineni wants you to know: It's not too late, and you didn't miss the boat. As president of VaynerNFT, Avery is a leader in the emerging NFT space. In this conversation with Women on the Move host Sam Saperstein, she breaks down the NFT market, Web 3, and the ongoing opportunity for consumers and brands to participate in this fast-moving space. A marketing pioneer with a mission to bring other women along Avery began her career right out of college at Target Corp., but within a year or so she moved to Google, still a relatively new company in 2012. At Google she worked on products including AdWords, YouTube, Hardware Products, and Double Click, and she also learned about Vayner Media when Gary Vaynerchuk gave a motivational talk to her team. “I was incredibly impressed with how different Gary's perspective was, and about his passion around social media,” she recalled. “At the time, I didn't know too much about social media. So, I thought I'm going to learn all about social from the guys who know it best at Vayner.” She joined Vayner in 2018 as a Vice President on the media team—her first experience of the agency side of marketing. “So, it was a totally new experience of learning a different side of the marketing coin,” she tells Sam. “And I learned a lot really quickly. Had the opportunity to help build out some teams. I then had the opportunity to actually go and start Vayner Media's presence in the Asia Pacific region.” By 2019, she moved to Singapore to start Vayner Media there. She soon opened offices in Tokyo, Bangkok, Sydney, and Hong Kong as well—all during the pandemic. “It was a very different type of working environment, where we were all pretty much remote and working across borders digitally,” she recalled. One benefit of working through the height of the pandemic was that she got to explore new ways of building teams, as well as new ways of thinking about technology. “We thought something very interesting might be happening in this world of NFTs,” she says. “At the time, I didn't even know what that meant, what it was.” By July of 2021, she was heading up the new VaynerNFT, which she describes as “a Web 3 consultancy focused on helping enterprises navigate all things Web 3 and NFT.” Immersed in this new world, on thing struck Avery: Her colleagues and Web 3 leaders were mostly male. “Right now the community who's super active is very heavily men,” she tells Sam. “And I'm super passionate about helping to bring women into this space.” Breaking down NFTs for the uninitiated As an early leader in the world of NFTs and related Web 3 activities, Avery is skilled at de-mystifying the concept for others. She breaks it down for listeners: “What NFTs, non-fungible tokens, represent is really digital asset ownership. It can be a piece of art. It can be a ticket. It can be a utility. But fundamentally, that represents a digital asset that you own that is provable on the blockchain.” And while there's currently a small community of people who are active in the NFT world, Avery says she believes there's a place for everyone. She encourages small business owners and individuals—especially women—to get involved. And she offers three pieces of advice for those interested. First, she says, get started by jumping in in a hands-on way. “Get yourself a Discord and Twitter, and understand what's happening,” she advises. “I think really spending the time to shape your own perspective is incredibly important.” Next, she advises all business owners to figure out how they can develop something that would be interesting to their existing consumers. “I would maybe look into loyalty as an NFT mechanism, and finding a way to reward people who already come to your dry cleaner, or to your daycare, or whatever it is,” she offers. Her third piece of advice is to consider expanding your business's payment options to include accepting crypto. “I think as a small business, you actually can move much quicker and navigate this world of Web 3 in a really cool way,” she adds. “And being able to operate without a ton of bureaucracies can be a huge advantage.” As for her goals for VaynerNFT, she's looking forward to continuing work that's game-changing, interesting, and long term: “I think our goals are really to help enterprises enter this Web 3 world in an authentic way that builds value for their communities and builds value for them.” Full Transcript here The podcast is not intended to provide legal, tax, or financial advice or to indicate the availability or suitability of any JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. product or service.
