Heritage sports brands may be tempted to rely on their history to appeal to a new generation that wasn't there to see it. But in the fast-moving digital attention economy, that's a mistake, says Antonio Gnocchini, chief marketing officer at Diadora.He joins The Big Impression podcast to explain how the iconic Italian brand is reclaiming its spot in the performance market. By leaning into a challenger brand mindset during the Paris 2024 Olympics — without the price tag of official sponsorship — Gnocchini and his team are shifting the focus from nostalgia to high-performance innovation. Episode TranscriptPlease note, this transcript  may contain minor inconsistencies compared to the episode audio.Damian Fowler (00:00):I'm Damian Fowler, and welcome to this edition of The Big Impression. Today, we're looking at how a heritage sportswear brand carved out its own spotlight at the Paris 2024 Olympics without being an official sponsor. My guest is Antonio Gnocchini, Chief Marketing Officer at Diadora, the iconic Italian brand known for its made in Italy craftsmanship. In the lead of the Paris, Antonio and his team launched a global brand campaign built around Diadora's roster of Italian athletes from Trackstar, Larissa, Yapacino, defensers and speed skaters, all while showcasing innovations like the Atomo Running Shoe. That's the first high mileage running shoe made in Italy in three decades. We're going to break down how Diadora timed its campaign to maximize the Olympic moment, how it differentiates itself from giants like Nike and LVMH, and what this strategy says about building awareness in a crowded high-stakes marketing landscape. So let's get into it.(01:07):Antonio, can you tell us about why the Paris Olympics was such an important moment for Diadora as it sought to elevate its brand name again?Antonio Gnocchini (01:18):So if you are a multi-category sport brand, Olympics is certainly the big event, the main event, your main catwalk of the main show. And you prepare for it for a long time because you need to be in one of the most competitive environment with the best product, competitive athletes. Everything needs to be perfect. And it's also one of those moments in which you can go deeper with attention, with messages. If you are serious about sport and you want to communicate, sport brand values, what you really stand for, it's not easy, especially today in moments in which the attention is not much, few seconds from everybody. Channels are very fast and flattened messages very easily. The Olympics is a moment in which for a few weeks you have the attention. You have people connected and engaged. You have people who care. And so it's a perfect environment to talk again about what you stand for.(02:41):And so going back to the Olympics was a statement to say, we actually are a competitive sport brands, a performance brand, not only lifestyle of it. And so yeah, it was such an important environment for us. Also, these Olympics was maybe one of the first ones that I've seen since I started doing this job when you could see some challengers brands activating and being visible.(03:15):In the past, this was really an event only for main sponsors and official sponsors mostly. Now this is a moment of challengers. And if you find the right way and if you had a good connection with your outlets, you could be doing a successful marketing campaigns and actions.Damian Fowler (03:35):That's really interesting to hear you say that. And I think, and I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this. Is the kind of media environment that we exist in now, does that make it possible for challenger brands to find a way to reach audiences that they otherwise might not be able to find back when it was the main TV channels and big glossy mags, there are more niches now in many ways.Antonio Gnocchini (04:00):There's a very interesting report that Business of Fashion and McKinsey release every year. And the most recent one was a study from McKinsey, which they were showing displaying how the sport market, which was dominated by only few incumbents. And you could see that at Olympics, still today, the most recent one, the usual suspects are dominated most of the sports. But in this past few years, there is a change going on in which incumbents are really under pressure from Challengers brand in the sport industry. They're gaining momentum. Challenges are gaining space, gaining market share, and also visibility. And you can say that maybe this is linked to the explosion of running as a global movement, but it's not only that. Running certainly as contributed, because running is one of those categories that is really extremely democratic. And yeah, sure, track and field main athletes, famous names help, but you can become a successful running brand without having only the most amazing hundred meters runners.(05:37):You can be successful by working in other ways. And you see brands starting to become more visible through running in the sport industry.Damian Fowler (05:47):What's interesting about Diadora is that it has this very significant legacy as a sports brand. I mean, I think back to my childhood when I used to absolutely love Beyond Borg. And as soon as I saw the name Diadora, I remember Borg. And of course there's other soccer legends like Roberto Baggio or Francesco Totti. But in recent years, it's been a little bit maybe eclipsed by bigger brands that you just mentioned. So you're a challenger brand, but you're also a legacy brand. Could you explain a bit more of the context around the history of the brand?Antonio Gnocchini (06:24):If you are passionate about sport, when you land at Diadora and you visit the museum, it is a kid in a candy store. That was my experience at the museum is you could see in real life the objects of desire of your youth. In my bedroom, I had posters of all these heroes and there's a moment, there's a scene in King Richard with Will Smith, in which you hear for a moment in the movie, you hear Venus and Serena Williams coach telling Richard Williams to wait on the Nike offer because the perfect offer for any tennis player at the time was the one Jennifer Capriati was getting from Diadora. When I watched the movie, I was like, whoa. So we wear really the tennis brand and the brand that was in relation with athletes, especially tennis athletes. We were the tennis athletes brand. What happened?(07:34):I think that the brand, the company really focused for few decades on product, product marketing, sports marketing contracts, traditional marketing actions. While in the meantime, other brands, other sport brands have become very sophisticated, very innovative in their marketing strategies, films where Nike's main language and they were exciting product of their marketing department. I think the brand here, the Theodo has been focusing on other things and lost the engagement with consumers globally. And then for a few years, as I was saying, the focus had been really on capitalizing on its legacy and becoming more of a lifestyle brand. But in reality, the market can tell you that if you're not serious about sport, you lose your credibility as a lifestyle of sport brand.Damian Fowler (08:42):Yeah. So the new campaign or the more recent campaign is about reasserting that sports connection. How else would you define the brand as it is now?Antonio Gnocchini (08:57):I think that what we needed to do ... So the first thing that I wanted to do is to prove that the sensation, the feeling that we had was correct. So we run a long and insightful brand health monitor study, and the results of that study was showing that, yes, that we were a legacy brand, people recognized the name, but they couldn't really link it any longer to specific performance product, and they were not buying performance product any longer from the Adora. So we were also associated linked to values like being Italian, but at the same time, it was this idea of romantic Italian, quaint, Italian, traditional. If you want to be successful in sports, you have to talk about innovation, you have to be recognized for your capacity of being a technological advanced company. And so the main effort for us in the beginning was to go back into making sure that our research and development center was up to speed and that the marketing department was capable of telling these type of stories because these stories were in fact very important for our consumer, for our focused consumers, the focus of our target, a younger consumer that wanted to talk about sport, they wanted to be capable also of discovering innovative brand sports.(10:44):So even if we were not one of the main incumbents by being authentic in sport, especially in running and in other categories, by being authentic, we could engage with this young consumers who was interested in discovering new brands that have an innovation angle that was really relevant.Damian Fowler (11:11):Yeah, that absolutely makes sense. I'm interested to hear you talk a bit more about that audience group that you really wanted to reach and the profile of that group. And presumably there's an element of conquesting going on because you've got to get them from some of the bigger names that we've already talked about.Antonio Gnocchini (11:29):Yeah. As I was saying, running has become one of those category, goes beyond just track and field, goes beyond the daily jogger, goes beyond ... It is really something that touches wellness, fashion is playing into running a lot. Everybody is doing running collections today, not just the usual suspects. We wanted to make sure that in this environment in which you had a lot of noise, we could be recognized as authentic, as separate from the noise. So we wanted to talk with a niche and then make sure that that authentic young athlete was putting the mileage out. So it wasn't talking about running, but putting also the miles and the sweat in running. There were those consumers that were scheduling all their weekends around the run, around the race, so the real authentic runner could recognize that we weren't distracted by all this running noise. We were serious.(12:48):So our messages were we run a campaign that is called Normalize iMileage that was directed only to that type of consumers that could recognize the acts and the gestures and the typical struggle of that type of runners. Even if that meant alienating for a little bit a wider audience, because we know that with a wider audience, we had less capacity of rich. We didn't have the muscle for them. But we see today that when you are authentic and strong with that type of niche, that niche creates expansion and creates influence, and then you start to resonate also in other markets and with other type of consumers.Damian Fowler (13:39):Yeah. Can you talk a little bit more about how you set the stage leading up to Paris to build that buzz that's going to resonate across all these different outlets?Antonio Gnocchini (13:51):Yeah. We decided, as you can imagine, getting attention is ex extremely difficult, especially today. The new channels are flattening everything and everything is so few fraction of a seconds between your thumb and in your face, it's very hard to go deeper with messages. And if you want to go deeper, you need to find ways in which you can. And for us, our strategy was, okay, we need to stop their attention, stop their eyes for longer.Damian Fowler (14:35):I'm curious now to see, given the kind of media exposure that you started to establish, how did it play out during and after the Olympics, and how did you capitalize on it essentially?Antonio Gnocchini (14:49):So we monitor during the main events at the Arsenal, we made sure that all the guests and all the people, all the stakeholders of sport were well-informed and also capable of giving the right message out with the proper information. And then we started collecting and amplify this type of information, then feed them also to our partners in the market, retailers, key accounts. All of this helped us make sure that the product was properly displayed and also was selling out in the right moment in time. And by being nimble and agile and fast, we had a great success on this. The content that we had created, we noticed that they were getting a completion rate of 97, 98%. We never had completion rates so high. So we knew that we had something that was resonating. We only needed to be insisting on it and fasting the reaction by feeding athletes, giving the same content to them, and that's it.Damian Fowler (16:08):And you mentioned that 97% completion rate on videos and things like that. That's obviously an important metric. What else did you do to measure brand buzz? And then maybe then how did you connect that to sales?Antonio Gnocchini (16:21):Every year we do a brand study, a brand health monitor in order to understand the feeling and how our values are perceived by consumers. If there is any change in what we're doing that is affecting their point of view on the brand. Then we do social monitoring on a daily base, especially when we post and when we have athletes performing our.com and a good connection with key accounts, get us data on results and how what we do resonates on the market. That's pretty much what keep us informed and get us a good understanding of what we're doing.Damian Fowler (17:05):How did this push around Paris help define the current market right now? And what does it also tell you about where you should build next?Antonio Gnocchini (17:15):It is a confirmation that it is a challenger moment. It is a confirmation that if you establish a conversation with your consumers, you can expand and you can gain market in a market that was completely polarized and dominated by only a few brands. It is also confirmation that if you are authentic, at times, maybe even very vertical in your attack to the market through the category, we don't do every sport. We only are focusing now on few sports, but to do them with authenticity, this is also resonating a lot and you have to be ready for sport moments, which means every sport moment that it's not only Olympics, even minor sport moments, if you're capable of being ready and capitalize on it with your athletes, it's a great tool.Damian Fowler (18:20):You talked about using innovation, being on the cutting edge to reach a new generation of fans, but do you also still infuse that with some of the golden age narrative that Diadora has? Yes,Antonio Gnocchini (18:33):We do. We balance. We try to balance the messaging in that sense, but I think what I've learned in this past few years here is that this is no longer the sneaker culture generation where you could go and have long session and education and talk about the history of that specific model, and you would have this passionate nerd of Sneakers that would then storytell the whole thing to Hollist friends and everybody were buying into it. Everybody was buying into it. I think every time we preach about our history, every time about we try to give lessons, especially the younger generation, it doesn't seem to be interesting and doesn't like it also. But what we see that they like is what they discover. So we have to be ready with the right information. We have to give them a story that is compelling in term of product, in term of innovation, and then let them discover the history behind it, the art, let's say, the origin of the whole story, and where is this coming from?(19:54):So maybe one thing that I'm seeing that it's also a learning is the fact that brands ... I've seen brands just trying to capitalize on the fact that one product story has to be successful because it's linked to this specific moment in time, and you consumers should know about it and should buy about it because of that. It doesn't really resonate to consumer any longer. You need more than that. And so, yeah.Damian Fowler (20:27):I love that. I think it's so interesting to hear you say you can't preach to consumers, but you can allow them the opportunity to discover. I think that's such a great insight. I think that goes for any storytelling, to be honest.Antonio Gnocchini (20:45):I think you're right, but I think it's specifically more valid now in which I believe that you need to have your story perfect and you need to have the details of your story needs to be really well done. People think that you can simply post in every second and be very fast in making sure that consumers will see fresh things every second, digest it very quickly, and then post new ones. Especially for us, this doesn't prove to be right.Damian Fowler (21:24):I had a good guest on this podcast a few editions ago who talked about how brand messaging is in everything, the tactile element of the brand. He used Harley Davidson as an example, it's not just a bike, it's everything you encounter in the showroom, the quality of the materials. And I'm getting that sense when I look at Diadora and the Diadora site that their brand messaging comes through in the product line.Antonio Gnocchini (21:55):This is very true and very valid. Again, if you want to be serious in your relationship, in your conversation with that niche audience, it means that every touchpoint, every single touchpoint needs to tell something about that story, otherwise they will immediately perceive that it's not authenticDamian Fowler (22:21):Any longer. So let me ask you big picture here. So for marketers listening, what's the lesson here that you can tell? You came from Nike, but now you're at Diadora. So you've seen what the big heavyweight brand has done and can do, but what can a smaller brand learn from your experience, I guess, whether it be about future forward channels like CTV or retail media or programmatic or social? Sorry, let me just ask you ask that more simply. What can a marketer learn from your experience trying to market this, bring this brand back into view? IAntonio Gnocchini (23:04):Think the most important thing for us has been to be capable of focusing on doing few things and do them perfectly, or at least as perfect as we could do. You are challenged to be very active and be reactive and also try to capitalize on every single product you have in the line and every sport that is played is an opportunity of doing something. The reality is if you want to start to resonate, you need to establish a valid conversation with your core focused consumers. And to do that, you need focus. And this means also at times being capable of saying no to things that you could be doing or that you get pressure from anybody or everybody in the company to do, and also the pressure from the market many times. Again, let's remember that this was a market in which you were supposed to drop a new product every few weeks, so we don't do that.(24:23):And we try to talk about innovation only when we have real innovation to communicate. And then when you do build an authentic story and a strong story with every touchpoint connected in the right way, this to me proved to be successful.Damian Fowler (24:44):Going back to Paris, that was obviously a huge high watermark for sport last year. As you look ahead to next year, is there anything that's on your calendar that's one of those moments where brand and moment have that synchronicity?Antonio Gnocchini (25:01):Olympics is not something that you prepare the season before. So next Olympics is already something that we are studying, preparing for, sweating about. We have to prepare all our innovations. We have to be ready with the right messaging. We have to find the right athletes, and we have to have a strategy on what type of messages we want to focus on. So LA Olympics is certainly something that we look at and we dream of.Damian Fowler (25:40):Let me turn to the last section here and just ask you some quick fire questions, if I may. One of the things I wanted to ask you is, is there a sports marketing trend that you think is overrated?Antonio Gnocchini (25:51):Maybe there is something that is a bit underrated, which is the fact that some lesser known sport events and maybe not the main athletes, but the local athletes, they are underrated. You can build excellent engaging campaign through those.Damian Fowler (26:17):What matters more in the next five years? Heritage, innovation, or cultural storytelling?Antonio Gnocchini (26:24):If I may try to put them in order, I would say cultural storytelling for me, then innovation and then heritage. If you do cultural storytelling well, I think your legacy, your heritage is probably already well told in there, but I think that you, again, it's a moment in time which I will never stop stressing the fact that you need to be capable in storytelling properly.Damian Fowler (26:57):Is there anything missing in the ad marketplace today that you perceive?Antonio Gnocchini (27:01):Data that goes beyond just the reach of a campaign. And even the reach at times is not really ... And not everything is so perfect and reliable. If you could find a way ... You remember where you were studying marketing and the sentence from Wanamaker, I don't know which half of my money spent is wasted. I go back to that. I've been promised by these new tools and these new digital tools that I will know better, but it seems that to be capable of really reading through the noise and getting valuable data that goes just beyond rich, it's still hard and it's still at times not that reliable. And then the other thing is I see an inflation in the attention economy that makes me think that I need to find new ways and new channels and not only finding great storytelling. The reality is my stories, if I even have a great way of telling, if even when I have a great story, at times I need to change it and distort it in order to be played in these new environments, in new digital channels.(28:40):These channels at times distort the values of my brand, and I want that not to happen. So I need to find better ways and better channels.Damian Fowler (28:55):And that's it for this edition of The Big Impression. This show is produced by Molten Heart.

The Mariners sweep in San Diego and that's just baseball. This is why we say it's early and it has nothing to do with wins and losses, it has to do with the fact that it's a very long season and getting swept or sweeping a team from one weekend to the next is the way it goes sometimes. Having said that though, these last 3 games were probably the most complete, best all-around games we have seen from this team in a long time. The starting pitching delivered, the bullpen stepped up and the offense came through against the Padres. :30- Mariners Morning After- Bryan Woo went 7 innings and continues to impress, despite one small hiccup in the 1st against the first batter he faced. Tatis went yard to give the Padres an early 1-0 lead, but that was it, the Padres couldn't score and the Mariners bats were very active. :45- Scottie Scheffler took home the Wanamaker trophy for his 3rd major win of his career after a dominant Saturday and an even round on Sunday to hang on to his lead when others came charging but ultimately fell flat.

And just like that, the second men's major of the season is upon us.  Michael, James and Lewis look ahead to the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow, discussing Jordan Spieth's prospects of joining Rory McIlroy in the career grand slam club; McIlroy's own title hopes; the inevitability of Scottie Scheffler; and the most likely first-time-major-winners in the mix for the Wanamaker.   Elsewhere, the guys discuss the upcoming Scottish Championship at Donald Trump's Aberdeenshire golf course and Michael owns up to hitting his mother with a golf ball.

Xander Schauffele quieted the critics this week by taking home his first career major at the PGA Championship at Valhalla in Louisville, Kentucky. He held off a charging Bryson DeChambeau with a clutch birdie putt on the 72nd hole to hoist the Wanamaker trophy. The crazy thing about the week was that Xander's victory wasn't the top story. Scottie Scheffler got arrested on Friday morning outside of the golf club in one of the most bizarre stories in recent memory from professional golf. Scottie still managed to finish in the top 10 with all the distractions going on, which is an impressive feat in its own right. We will dive into all kinds of topics from the PGA Championship and discuss the dominance of Nelly Korda as she won again on the LPGA Tour this week, making it 6 wins in 7 events for the best women's player in the world.

"It feels like a goal that's within my grasp of achieving. Not only am I stronger and smarter than I was last year, but I feel like I've come a long way and will be able to attack this race with a lot more confidence to chase the world record. When I went (to Millrose) for the first time, I was just chasing the American record. So I feel like changing that mindset, just seeing how far I've come, it feels like a very real possibility at this point." U.S. outdoor mile record holder Yared Nuguse will return to the Armory Track and Field Center in New York City for the 116th Millrose Games to defend his men's Wanamaker Mile title. Last year, Nuguse made his Millrose Games debut and won and set a U.S. indoor mile record of 3:47.38. He barely missed the world record of 3:47.01 set by Yomif Kejelcha in 2019. Nuguse put together a career year in 2023 with a 7:28.23 for 3000m indoors (American record); a personal best of 3:29.02 for 1500m (the fastest performance by an American-born runner); 3:43.97 outdoor mile (an American record and the fourth-fastest performance in history; a victory at the London Diamond League 1500m and a fifth place finish in the 1500m final at the World Championships.

Devotion is so important in our lives, and who or what we are devoted to is equally important.    Today's guest, Tina Wanamaker, is a speaker, teacher, and ministry leader. She shares her story of how God changed EVERYTHING in her life in one moment that occurred on the side of the road. This incident led her to a life devoted to God.    ****   Kimberly Hobbs   Welcome to Empowering Lives with Purpose. And I'm your host, Kimberly Hobbs and the founder of Women World Leaders. And today ladies, we're going to be talking about devotion. And we are so glad that you joined us today. I'd love to welcome our guest today, Tina Wanamaker. Welcome, Tina.  Tina Wanamaker   Thank you, Kimberly.  Kimberly Hobbs   So glad to have you. She's coming to us from the state of Washington. So we are at opposite ends of the United States, she's up in one corner, we're down in another. So ladies, it's our desire to encourage you and empower you to walk closer with our Lord. And He is everything to us. I hope that he is in your life too. And we're going to talk about devotion. Today. As I was sharing with you earlier, God's Word says, come and listen to my counsel, I'll share my heart with you and make you wise that's proverbs 123. God wants to share his counsel with us. We need to find that in the Word of God, how important is that for our lives, and also through sharing stories and different things that our guests have been through and how they have found Jesus and have a closer walk with Him now because of finding him is very important and valuable. And I just pray that through listening to this podcast interview that you will be inspired and empowered to have that closer relationship to him. I want to share a little bit about Tina before we get started. Tina has been married for 22 years. She has four children and a home as I said in sila Washington, where they raised their children and chickens on a five acre farm that they call their hobby farm. Tina has authored three books, which show her passion for the practical application of God's word to hearts and lives. She homeschools her children, she speaks at women's events and ministers at a jail as part. She does this part time as a chaplain. She's an international women's leader, she teaches Bible studies online and on local television. And together with her husband, oh, and they manage that I may know him ministries, where they share the gospel and equip believers to walk out their faith. So in titling today's interview devoted that is something that Tina chose. And we believe there comes a point in each of our lives, where change is deemed necessary. Where do we show our devotion? Have you thought about that? Have you ever thought what am I devoted to? We can all be devoted to many, many things. But God is devoted to us. And he tells us, he's devoted to us. Oh, Lord, you have examined my heart. And you know everything about me, you know, when I sit down or stand up, you know, my thoughts, even when I'm far away. You see me when I travel and I when I rest at home, you know everything I do? You know what I'm going to say even before I say it, Lord, you go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head that Psalm 139, one to five. And I thought that was such a beautiful picture of God's devotion to us. He's so devoted to us. So Tina, can you share a little bit about how you came to know Jesus, how he changed everything in your life? Tina Wanamaker   Oh, golly, well, that was 20 years ago now. I when I was 25, I came into relationship with Christ. Prior to that, I had been walking in darkness, but not really understanding that I was walking in darkness. I don't think it's until we come into the fullness of relationship with Christ and our walking in the light that we begin to fully understand what it was that we were involved in before. And so growing up, I had grown up involved in going to church, but not having an understanding of a personal relationship, but seemed very distant like he was way over there somewhere, you know, but I did believe in God, that he did exist. And so early on, that's how that's how it all came about. And as I, as a child, there were some things that had happened that were painful. And, and moving on from there going into high school years, you know, those are really, they can be very uncomfortable for, for people. And in my case, they were, you know, trying to find your identity, I think is how we would term it now is, you know, where do I fit? How do I fit in here, and so you try this, and you try that and, and it just nothing would fit for me. And so I ended up beginning to do some partying with some friends. The year before I was beginning my senior year, and I had up to that point had been a, you know, a 4.0 student, very studious, very much. And so the summer before, when I began to drink so heavily, I, the next year, I almost didn't graduate high school, my mom had to go in and, you know, plead with the teacher, you know, hey, with you, because of my mind choices, the choices that I had made, had put me into some positions, where I was unable to do what I had been doing in the past. And so there was, once I started down this routes and, and looking back on it, I can see what I was trying to do, I was trying to find identity, but I was also writing, because there are some areas of pain that we can have that we don't know what to do with. And we can't really explain it in that time period, either. I don't think that we can, until we come into relationship with Christ, really, we and I see this a lot in the jail is that there's a lot of girls that don't know what to do with their pain. And so they will use drugs, or they'll try to cover with relationships. And so I did that through the drinking and dabbling in some drugs and relationships. And so that lasted that time period lasted about eight years, I just kind of moving through these things. And it was it was messy, and it was yucky, and it was dark. And in the middle of that, towards the end of it. My husband, Ellen and I got married. And so once we got married, I was thinking in my mind, oh, well, we're gonna get married and things are gonna be better, you know, because that's what marriage does, right? Makes things better. But actually, it made it worse, they compound the problems that were already there. And so we ended up in a very dark place together. And I recall having a conversation, you know, hey, we knew that there was a problem or destroying ourselves physically, spiritually, emotionally. But we didn't know what to do. Like, what do you do? Do we go see a counselor? Do we? I mean, what do we do? Do we read some self help books? You know, like, we just didn't know, we didn't have an answer at all. And so a friend of ours that actually had done a lot of partying with us said, Well, I go to church, why don't you come to church with me? And we're saying, When do you go to church, you know, you're always with us, you know. And so we ended up going with her to church. And at the end of that service, there is a group of us, and we're all you know, just being honest, we're all hungover and just showed up there. And they gave the gospel message at the end of the service. And my husband responded to that gospel message, but I didn't, I was under the impression that I needed to earn salvation, that I had to do good works in order to obtain salvation. And as I said, before, God was very distant from me. And so I continued in doing what I was doing for a number of months after that, finally culminating in getting pulled over for DUI, and I had just gotten accepted into a radiology program at the local college and if you've gotten to any trouble you are out of that program. And at that moment there when I was I got pulled over, and I'm on this side of the road with these police officers and I broke there is this It was messy, it was ugly. They didn't know what to do with me. And I it was like, this moment of just utter brokenness, just trying to all those years of trying to cover the pain and all the years of trying to find my identity and, and it was just, it just came to this culminating point. And, and in a sense, I feel like I came to myself in that, you know, the the story of the prodigal son, where he goes out, and he's out doing all the things, but there comes this moment where he comes to himself, and he has this realization of what it is that he's doing. And he's like, wait a minute, this isn't okay. You know, and I feel like that moment came when I was on the side of the road. And they had to call my husband to come get me they did not give me a ticket for that. No, but my husband had to come get me and they told my husband, you need to get her help. She needs some help. There's something way, you know, off with her, right? And, and, and I did get help. Right? So immediately after that is when I realized, wait a minutes, I am not saved by good works. I'm not going to heaven, because I've done enough good things in my life. I need a personal relationship with Jesus Christ had this realization that it's not a works, but to get God, and I receive that gift. And then Jesus began to process the healing process that took while it's still happening, right. Kimberly Hobbs   Amen. Tina, amen. And a lot of us can relate having that define of definitive moment in our life where Jesus gets our attention, right? We're going down the wrong path, but we are his he's devoted to us. So somehow, some way he's going to show up strongly. And that's how he showed up to you was on the side of the road, thank God, He gave you grace, you didn't get a ticket, if that could have really marked you for a long time. So there was Grace there. So Tina, as we got to talk, off of this interview, you shared a lot with me. But as you came to know, Jesus, and you started developing that relationship with Him, He brought you freedom, God brought you freedom. And through that freedom, you learned how to be a wife, a mom, you became devoted to be able to speak in that way. And a testing of faith came after you began having children. So can you talk a little bit about that? And you had a question that you asked yourself that I recall, which was, Do I really believe what I say I believe, can you talk about where that came from?  Tina Wanamaker   Sure. We had been walking with the Lord Jesus about two years, and we found out we were expecting our first child, and which he's 18 now. And so after we had Levi our oldest, then I became, we were expecting another little one after about another year and a half. So probably about the four year mark into our walk with Christ. And we were at the three month point in the in the pregnancy, which is the safe zone, they say, right? But I ended up miscarrying that baby. And not only miss carrying the baby, but ended up having some severe hemorrhaging, and emergency surgery and two months recovery, it was a mess. In that time period, I couldn't take care of my little guy for a season and, and so out of that, once I recovered physically from that, then I had, I've always had a lot of questions. And so, in that place, I began to I had a lot of questions or why, why did this happen? You know, we wanted this child we prayed for this baby, we, right. So why did this happen? And, and other questions as well. And so I would put Levi down for his nap. And I would go into the bathroom and close the door and just cry out the Lord. And so what this ended up being for me, was a testing of my faith. And, you know, Scripture tells us that God tests our hearts. And it's like, who knows the hardest man but God, and He tests our hearts and our minds. And so he's the one that does that and he wants to refine our faith. And he really I feel, wants us to ask those questions of, Do I really believe what I say I believe, right? Am I going to really step out and face and the metal of something that's so hard? And the hard can look different for each of us? So in my case, I was asking the questions, but ultimately, the Lord showed me I was asking the wrong questions. So because when I was asking the wise, will job ask God, the wise, and he didn't get any response, the response he got was, I'm God, and you're not. And so, when I was asking the wise, I wasn't getting any response from the Lord. He was comforting me, but I wasn't getting. I wasn't receiving any answers. And so I realized I had to change my question. So I submitted myself under the authority of Christ. And I, I asked, what question should I ask? And so then I began to ask, Okay, Lord, what can I learn from that? What do you have in the midst of this that I can learn about? Or what do you want to teach me? Or how do you want to speak to me? And one of the scriptures that the Lord gave me was Romans 828? Are all things work together for good to those who are called according to His purpose? I asked him, Lord, would you allow me and your kindness Would you allow me to see some good on a practical level from this, and he brought it, there was another lady that we knew that had miscarried for the second time. And I was able to reach out to her, and to have a heart level of compassion for her that I never had in the past. And so the Lord used that to teach me it wasn't his well for that baby to die. But he used it, nonetheless, to test my faith, to bring it forth this gold, to have me ask those questions. Do I really believe these things? And my all in and ultimately to increase my level of devotion to Me, I love that. I love that Tina, I love that God was growing your faith through all of these trials. And that's what he does, ladies, we go through things that like you questioned, you know, what, why is this happening? Why do we go through them. And I think that's a normal response of some of the things that we all go through. Because they're tragic. There are hard they're hard to deal with. So I love that you were learning that your faith was growing through this tea not and I wanted to share a scripture, Scripture says, I am certain that God who began a good work within you will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ returns Philippians one, six, so God is working. He's working. He's working all the way through these adversities that we face, these trials, these hard things in life, he's working, he doesn't stop working. And God taught you how to be devoted to him through these hard, difficult times. And one thing that you had shared with me was you because of the baby, and you had a fear of death, and it became intense. And as you started to study the word Tina, and live it out daily, through it, God provided you opportunity to begin teaching. So can you tell us how you started to focus on utilizing God's word despite the fears that you were feeling? Mm, one of the things so early on, when I came to Christ, the first couple of years, I actually struggled with forgiveness, receiving the fullness of forgiveness. And, and after about two years, the Lord helped me to see that by standing on Scripture. So this is where that begins to come in. He helped me to see that everything was covered by the blood, not just the things that were small, but the big things too. And early on, when I first came into relationship with Christ, I, he taught me to sit with him, and to study the Word and to really ingest the Word of God, not just to read it, to have knowledge, but I wanted more than that. I wanted to read it, to ingest it, to digest it, if you will, and then to have it come forth again and help to those around me. And so, in that place, the Lord really trained me to sit with him and to begin to study his word, and to allow it to change me, one of the things that I often tell people is there's no point in reading the word if it's not going to change us. I mean, why we could read something else, that we, if we're going to read it, we want it to impact. We really want to have a practical application of that, as in the fear that you mentioned that fear of death. I had had that since I was a child. And then coming into relationship with Christ, I thought it was gone. Well, you know, it's gone. I'm sure. You know, I'm, I know where I'm going. I know my destination now. So when it came back up, it surprised me, honestly. And so but again, we deal with those things. On the level of the Word of God, we stand on his promises. Yes, that's where we find the victory.  Kimberly Hobbs   Amen. Amen. Good word. Good word. And I know that there's ladies out there listening right now where, you know, fear is a mobilizing you ladies. And it's difficult. Through those times, I would say to think about devotion and everything, because right, then you're focused on those fears, and you're worried about what's happening and what's going to happen. And here you may not be thinking about I'm devoted to God, nothing's going to happen to me because you're in the situation. But that's where the word of God becomes so important ladies, to know that word to hide it in your heart, to know that you can go to it for that comfort, and God's word says in Psalms, you know, the 23rd Psalms are such a great comforting scripture. But even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid for you are close to me, beside me, your rod and staff protect and comfort me on Psalm 23. Four. So, yes, go to the scriptures, like Tina was just sharing how important it is. And Tina, you talked about a word study that you did on fear, which really helped you to become devoted to God and devotion brings us inner peace, ladies. So remember, when you're looking for that peace, it's not going to come on your own accord, that peace comes from God. And you need to be devoted to the one who loves you most just like the Scripture, we started off with, you know, God's devoted to you. You need to be devoted to him. So tell us, Tina, about that word study that you did that truly helped you.  Kimberly Hobbs   Yes. The word study that I ended up doing when that again, when that fear of death rose up, which surprised me, as I mentioned, I felt I knew that something needed to be done. No, I asked the Lord, what a way to, you know, learn why do I do I don't know what to do. You know, it's all new, you know. And so I felt that the Lord was leading for me to go through the Word, and to write down every scripture I could find on fear. So I ended up with some pages, I would always journal and keep a notebook. And I still do that today. So I ended up with these pages filled. And then I said, Lord, now what, what should I do with the scriptures. And I felt that the Lord was leading me to look through them, and look for the ones that seem to highlighted or to stand out to me, and to write those on note cards. And so I did that. And I ended up with probably, I think, five scriptures. And I made two copies. And so at night, when I was getting up with the baby was when the sphere would returned. And so I put one sets of those note cards in my robe that I would put on what I would give to the baby, and then one next to where I would sit in the rocking chair with the baby. So I I set them in the right places, you know, and then I got up with baby that nights. And again, I sit down and that overwhelming fear came over me, you know, and I don't know if you've ever experienced this, but it just felt like an elephant sitting on my chest. This just wait, you know. And so as soon as that came up, I knew in that moment why the Lord had me make those cards and do that study because I was going to battle. I was going to learn to battle. And so I picked up those cards and I began to go through them one at a time, and I read them aloud. I feel like our like declarations. ...

Monopoly, a popular family board game, was invented by Charles Darrow who first sold the game in local Philadelphia department stores. The Monopoly board is based on Atlantic City, New Jersey locations. The point of the game is to buy up property, stay out of jail, and bankrupt your opponents. What started as a socialist parable turned into a capitalist dream, thanks to a theft, repackaging, and Wanamaker's department store.

Acacia is joined by Fasig Tipton's Ramiro Restrepo, who previews upcoming sales and discusses how he and his team came to find recent Bashford Manor winner Gulfport. She then speaks to Liza Hendriks, who gives background on her online sales company, Wanamaker's.
