A special interview with author Steve Anderson on his book “The Bezos Letters - 14 Principles to Grow Your Business Like Amazon.”==========================================

The Wall Street Journal has many advantages at a perilous time for news publishers. It has a massive paid subscriber base (4.3 million across print and digital). It caters to an affluent audience. It has a storied brand. While AI is threatening to overwhelm swathes of the industry, the Journal has benefited from advertising from flush AI companies. Yet it isn't immune to the pressures facing publishing overall and news in particular.WSJ CRO Josh Stinchcomb joined the show to discuss how the Journal is using the trust its journalism engenders to make money in new ways that aren't related to either ads or subscriptions, including events, executive communities and as a brand halo for Dow Jones information products.

Most American parents say technology makes it harder to raise kids than in the pre-social media era. And while social scientists debate the exact impact of ubiquitous Internet access on children, policymakers are increasingly responding to parents' concerns. The Kids Online Safety Act, which aims to address the addictive features of social media that hook kids, was recently reintroduced by Senators Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT). The legislation would also require tech platforms to take steps to prevent and mitigate specific dangers to minors, including the promotion of suicide, eating disorders, drug abuse, and sexploitation. Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) and Rep. John James (R-MI) are promoting the App Store Accountability Act, which would require Google and Apple to verify users' ages before downloading apps. And Senators Cruz (R-TX) and Schatz (D-HI) propose banning kids from using social media altogether.There is clearly a lot of interest from parents and policymakers in addressing these concerns over the impact of technology on children. But there is also a robust and ongoing debate about the actual harm to kids, and whether concerns are well founded or overblown. Jonathan Haidt's book, The Anxious Generation made quite a splash, but many social psychologists have pushed back on his findings. And while the surgeon general under President Biden advocated a warning label for social media, a recent study by researchers at the University of South Florida found that kids with smartphones were better off than those without smartphones, while acknowledging harms from cyber bullying and otherwise.The fundamental question seems to be: Is this just another moral panic, or are we letting Big Tech conduct a massive unregulated experiment on our children's brains?Evan is joined by Clare Morell, Director of the Technology and Human Flourishing Project at the Ethics and Public Policy Center. She is the author of The Tech Exit: A Practical Guide to Freeing Kids and Teens from Smartphones, and her work has appeared in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Fox News.

Minting one penny costs the United States nearly four cents. After 233 years, the Treasury Department has decided to phase out the coin. This will mean that businesses will have to round cash transactions up or down, and some fear it could lead to inflation. We reminisce about the cultural significance of the one-cent coin with WSJ's Oyin Adedoyin and discuss the pro-penny stance with an advocate.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (06/02/2025): 3:05pm- During a Fox News town hall event, Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) called his party's mishandling of the U.S. Southern border “unacceptable.” Fetterman continues to portray himself as a moderate—but is his sudden shift to the political middle genuine or an act of political convenience? 3:30pm- On Sunday, authorities responded to an attack targeting Jewish Americans in Boulder, Colorado.

FBI Director Kash Patel has labeled the attack an act of terrorism. 4:05pm- Bill D'Agostino—Senior Research Analyst at Media Research Center—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to breakdown some of the best (and worst) clips from corporate media: self-described “conservative” New York Times op-ed columnist compares Elon Musk to Mao Zedong and Joseph Stalin, PBS attempts to indoctrinate children, and a Harvard professor says Donald Trump is a “combination of authoritarianism and ineptitude.” Plus, is Sen. John Fetterman's (D-PA) shift from progressive to moderate an authentic alteration in political philosophy or is it a calculated maneuver? 4:40pm- On Sunday, authorities responded to an attack targeting Jewish Americans in Boulder, Colorado. The man arrested for throwing incendiary devices at people gathered to support the return of Israeli hostages has been identified as Mohamed Sabry Soliman—an Egyptian man who is living in the United States illegally.

There is a provision, however, that able-bodied men currently receiving healthcare from the government must work or volunteer in their community in order to retain their coverage. Who would object to that qualification? Meanwhile, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) baselessly claimed that the bill would kill people. 6:05pm- In an editorial for The Wall Street Journal, CEO of AE Studio Judd Rosenblatt warns that Open AI's o3 artificial intelligence model rewrote its own code to avoid being shut down when prompted.

Matt Dixon: The Activator Advantage Matt Dixon is Founding Partner of DCM Insights, a global training and advisory firm, and a leading expert in business development and client experience. His first book The Challenger Sale was a #1 Amazon and Wall Street Journal bestseller, and translated in a dozen languages. His newest book with colleagues Rory Channer, Karen Freeman, and Ted McKenna is The Activator Advantage: What Today's Rainmakers Do Differently*. At lot of us know the traits of the kind of person who's successful at attracting new business. What many of us don't know, is that what's working today is actually different than what we traditionally think. In this conversation, Matt and I a take a detailed look at the professionals who are landing the most new business – and what they're doing that works. Key Points The loyalty that once existed between professionals and their clients has changed substantially in recent years. A type of professional called an activator represents the highest performance in business development. Activators assume their best clients will leave at some point and are consistently working to build a pipeline of opportunities. Many professionals tend to protect client relationships. In contrast, activators actively bring colleagues into these relationships. Activators don't wait for inquiries. They meet opportunities happen by building relationships before paid work begins. Activators go way past birthdays and factual knowledge about others. They discover what's important to their clients as individuals. Activators go way past “as is” content and work hard to thoughtfully connect it to a prospect or client's situation.

Guest Bio: Jena Holliday is the author of Sacred Creativity and a full-time artist, author, entrepreneur, and storyteller. She is the creator and owner of Spoonful of Faith, an illustration and design studio. With just a bit of faith, she walked away from her mainstream marketing job to embrace her passion for art. What started as a hobby eventually evolved into a full-time commitment to spread kindness and hope through her artwork and words. That commitment blossomed into a blog and shop, aptly named Spoonful of Faith, and has thus become not only a successful business but a cultural beacon. Jena has been featured on Good Morning America, Ebony, Essence, People, Nylon, The Wall Street Journal, Yahoo, Artful Living, and many more prominent outlets.     Show Summary: What gifts do you think God has blessed you with? Do you see creativity in your gifts? Oftentimes we neglect to notice the diverse ways that God has blessed each of us with creativity. It does not always have to be writing, drawing, painting, or doing a craft. Jena Holliday has found that being creative can grant us a different type of connection with the Lord. Join hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy Adkins as they learn about sacred creativity with Jena during this God Hears Her conversation.    Notes and Quotes:   “Why are you asking everyone else where to go, who to be, and what do except the One who created you?” —Jena Holliday  “God didn't make a mistake when He made us who we are. It wasn't by chance; it wasn't a coincidence. It was on purpose. That really helped me to step into the fullness of the voice that the Lord had given me.” —Jena Holliday  “What I have learned is that there is a hunger to see the different ways that the image of God is reflected on the earth. It's cool to be in this position as an artist and illustrator because I have the unique role of creating something in a visual way that doesn't require words. It was always important to me that I showcase different women and different images and illustrations of people because I wanted them to feel seen. I wanted people to know that they were loved, heard, and that their stories matter.” —Jena Holliday  “You should use [your gift] as a way to honor the Gift Giver, the One who has given it to you. We all have a corner of this earth where we get to use our gifts. Whatever God does to multiply it, that's Him—that's not on us. That's not our responsibility.” —Jena Holliday  “If you have something that God has given you and it's still neatly wrapped in a box, I think that's an invitation to open it up, spend a little time with it, and see what He does with it.” —Jena Holliday  “Everyone should take the risk to use the gifts that God has given them.” —Jena Holliday  “The way that Jesus loves us is so deep is that He will come after you. He will come find you again and guide you back to where He would like you to be and you get to keep walking forward together.” —Jena Holliday      Related Episodes:  Ep 141: Rethinking Creativity with Rachel Marie Kang: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/rethinking-creativity/  Ep 163: Mindful Creativity with Anh Lin: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/mindful-creativity/    Links:   Jena's book Sacred Creativity: https://www.amazon.com/Sacred-Creativity-Inspiration-Reclaim-God-Given/dp/0593581474  Jena Holliday's Website: https://www.spoonfuloffaith.com/  Jena's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aspoonfuloffaith/  God Hears Her website: https://go.odb.org/ghh191   Watch the episode on the God Hears Her YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@GodHearsHerODBM  God Hears Her email sign-up: https://go.odb.org/ghh-sign-upsfmc191   Subscribe on iTunes! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&utm_medium=godhearsher&utm_campaign=podcast  Shop God Hears Her books and resources: https://go.odb.org/ghh-shop191   Elisa's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/  Eryn's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/  Vivian's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vivmabuni/  Our Daily Bread Ministries website: https://go.odb.org/odbm191

All memoirists at some point in the writing process will grapple with what's theirs to tell. This week's show focuses on this all-important topic of permission. When do you need it?

Centered around topics in guest Elissa Altman's latest book, which is titled Permission, this is an empowering, deep-felt, and permission-giving episode—and something all writers, especially memoirists, can use to stay the course and keep going. Elissa Altman is the author of the Permission: The New Memoirist and the Courage to Create and the award-winning author of three memoirs: Motherland; Treyf; and Poor Man's Feast. Altman's work has appeared everywhere from Bitter Southerner and Orion to The Guardian, Narrative, O: The Oprah Magazine, Lion's Roar, Krista Tippett's On Being, the Wall Street Journal, and the Washington. She has a popular Substack, Poor Man's Feast, and she's also a James Beard Award-winner for narrative food writing and was a finalist for the 2020 Lambda Literary Award in Memoir.

She dives into the Wall Street Journal's bombshell report revealing Harvard as a training ground for Chinese Communist Party elites, sparking questions about academia's global allegiances. Tara then scorches the media's double standard—highlighting how Cory Booker gets a pass for a salute identical to the one that got Elon Musk labeled a Nazi. She tackles the controversial claim that cutting USAID has killed 300,000 people, instead arguing it may have saved lives by halting U.S. funding to enemies like the Taliban and Hamas. With $9.4 billion in Trump-backed spending cuts—targeting NPR, PBS, and foreign aid—heading to Congress, Tara frames it as a litmus test for Republican resolve. Meanwhile, Iran is caught secretly enriching uranium, Poland moves to reject the EU's migration pact, and the U.S. considers visa sanctions against EU censors. A wild ride through media corruption, foreign policy failures, and grassroots victories—plus a wholesome tip for spotting wild horses in Grayson Highlands.

Wall Street Journal columnist Jason Riley, author of "The Affirmative Action Myth," argues that the racial preference policies of the 1960s and 70s have had an overall negative impact on the success of Black Americans. He says that Black incomes, homeownership, and educational attainment were all on an upward trajectory prior to these policies being implemented. Learn more about your ad choices.

If there's one word that defines what I've seen in the marketing industry in my career, it's ‘acceleration.'When I started, I was writing print ads in The Wall Street Journal for clients all over the country. So the deadline was when FedEx came to our building…or if we were really pushing it, FedEx's deadline at the airport. This created a natural ebb and flow.Then PDFs came along, and well, that deadline got pushed much farther back. But because it still ultimately had to go to print, there was still an ebb and flow.Fast forward to today. Everything is always on, real time, with endless data streams. It feels like there is no more ebb, only flow.Which is why this lesson really caught my eye in a podcast guest application – It's important to ‘take a beat.'To hear that lesson, along with many more lesson-filled stories, I talked to Cindy Van Horne, global head of marketing & communications, McKinsey & Company [https://www.mckinsey.com/].Lessons from the things she madeIt's important to ‘take a beat'   Be fearless with your ambition  Reinvention is not optional   When goals are not hit, leadership is about finesse The pathway to innovative campaigns is about breaking down barriersReal change comes when others are inspired to break their own ceiling Discussed in this episodeAI Guild [https://join.meclabsai.com/]Strategic Marketing Collaboration: Find your partner in crime (podcast episode #68) [https://marketingsherpa.com/article/interview/strategic]Branding Lessons from TV Production: Don't focus on failure, keep moving towards success (podcast episode #92) [https://www.marketingsherpa.com/article/interview/brand-lessons]Leadership Development: Network every day (podcast episode #72) [https://marketingsherpa.com/article/interview/leadership-development]B2B Marketing Leadership: The higher you get in the organization, the more details you need to know (podcast episode #115) [https://marketingsherpa.com/article/interview/B2B-marketing-leadership]Customer-First Marketing: Every click is a wish (podcast episode #85) [https://marketingsherpa.com/article/interview/customer-first]Get more episodesSubscribe to the MarketingSherpa email newsletter [https://marketingsherpa.com/article/interview/customer-first] to get more insights from your fellow marketers.

Modern warfare is a contest of industrial might. China has spent decades assembling an industrial base at an unmatched scale, from shipping to advanced electronics. But although manufacturing power helped the U.S. win World War II, America now would struggle in a production battle.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, the framers of the Constitution did not grant courts, such as the International Court of Trade, the final authority on matters like tariffs, reserving that power for Congress. The Constitution gives Congress broad authority over taxation and spending, and through a 1977 emergency law, it delegated certain tariff powers to the president. Courts lack the constitutional basis to override such delegations. Historical records, including Madison's notes, the Federalist Papers, and state ratification debates, show the framers rejected giving courts supreme authority, like judicial review, to resolve separation-of-powers disputes. The framers of the Constitution, heavily influenced by Montesquieu, designed a government with a strict separation of powers to prevent tyranny, as Montesquieu warned that combining legislative, executive, or judicial powers in one entity leads to arbitrary rule and oppression. Congress should address this through legislation, not courts through litigation. Also, Sam Antar accused a Politico writer of "reputational laundering" for praising  New York AG Letitia James as a "Shadow Attorney General" in a Democratic shadow cabinet, while ignoring her federal criminal investigation for alleged mortgage fraud. Politico's omission of the DOJ referral shows the media bias, as James has targeted Trump, notably winning a $450M civil fraud case against him.  Later, the Wall Street Journal reports the decline of America's military-industrial capacity compared to China's rapid growth in the sector. The U.S. has allowed its defense manufacturing and supply chains to weaken due to underinvestment, outsourcing, and a focus on short-term efficiency over long-term resilience. This is frightening.
