Reach beats creative. That's the contrarian truth most marketers miss. A 2x better creative won't beat 100x greater reach. And yet brands keep choosing frequency over breadth, hyper-targeting over scale. This week, we're sharing a special recording from Brandweek. Angela is joined on-stage by Dale Harrison. Together, they dig into reach primacy: the idea that ongoing reach, not creative brilliance, drives share of market. They explore why brand recall at purchase matters more than top of mind awareness, how forgetting forces you into always on campaigns, and why light buyers fuel growth. Plus, learn how AI driven media buying slashes TV costs while expanding reach across linear and CTV. Topics covered: [01:00] Why reach is more powerful than creative effectiveness[03:00] Brand recall at purchase and the 95-5 rule[06:00] Reach as a rate, not a number[11:00] The danger of hyper-targeting on CTV[13:00] Why TV gets unfairly labeled as expensive[16:00] Using multiple measurement models to prove TV performance  To learn more, visit marketingarchitects.com/podcast or subscribe to our newsletter at marketingarchitects.com/newsletter.  Resources:  Watch: The Math Behind Smarter TV Advertising: https://www.marketingarchitects.com/blog/watch-the-math-behind-smarter-tv-advertisingDale Harrison's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dalewharrison/Angela Voss' LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/angelamvoss/ Get more research-backed marketing strategies by subscribing to The Marketing Architects on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

In this solo episode of Don't Waste the Chaos, Kerri Roberts, Christian business & HR consultant and founder of Salt & Light Advisors, opens up about a deeper tension many high-achieving Christians carry but rarely say out loud: when ambition, excellence, and drive cross the line from worship to idolatry. Drawing from her own story as a COO in the insurance industry, Kerri shares how private jets, big titles, and record-breaking performance still left her 50 pounds heavier, exhausted, bitter, and spiritually depleted.Kerri walks listeners through the difference between godly excellence and achievement-as-an-idol for anyone in leadership: employees, executives, entrepreneurs, and business owners. She unpacks the cultural pull toward workaholism and toxic productivity, where identity becomes fused to output and status, and pairs it with the biblical call to worship God alone, honor our limits, and receive Sabbath as a gift instead of a rule. Scriptures like Exodus 20:3 and Colossians 3:23 frame the conversation and help listeners recognize when work, money, or achievement has taken the functional place of God.Finally, Kerri offers six practical guardrails for faith-driven professionals who want to keep excellence but lose the bondage: redefining success beyond output, building real rhythms of rest, creating boundaries and delegation (including automations), seeking accountability and community, regularly checking motives and heart posture, and leading people instead of worshiping productivity. With honest stories about motherhood, job loss, identity, money guilt, and rebuilding her life and business with healthier rhythms, Kerri invites Christian leaders to pause, reflect, and choose one concrete step toward grace, balance, and true godly success.Key TakeawaysExcellence is biblical—but it's not your identity. Workaholism is a warning sign, not a virtue. Idolatry is often subtle and internal. Healthy excellence honors human limits. You can rewrite your relationship with work.  Sponsors & Ways to Work with Kerri1.

What if everything you thought about muscle building, fat loss, and strength training was backwards? In this episode of the Metabolic Freedom Podcast, host Ben Azadi sits down with Dr. John Jaquish, biomedical engineer, inventor, and author of Weight Lifting Is a Waste of Time, for a deep-dive conversation that challenges traditional fitness dogma. Dr. Jaquish explains why conventional weightlifting, bulking, and endless cardio are inefficient, unnecessary, and often counter-productive for real body recomposition. He shares the science behind variable resistance training, how high protein intake drives metabolism, why low carbohydrate thresholds matter, and how your body can build muscle and burn fat simultaneously without joint destruction or outdated exercise myths. Whether you lift weights regularly or you've ever felt stuck in your progress, this episode will flip your assumptions about muscle, fat loss, and strength gains — and give you a new framework to achieve both lean muscle and metabolic freedom. Key Topics Covered • Why body recomposition is possible at all fitness levels • How variable resistance training (like X3) outperforms traditional lifting • Why high protein consumption accelerates fat loss • The science behind low carbohydrate thresholds for muscle glycogen • Myths about how much protein the body can absorb • Why calories are a flawed measure for muscle growth • Essential amino acids, creatine, peptides — what works and when • How short, high-intensity training minimizes joint wear • Why traditional cardio rarely drives body recomposition Books Mentioned

In this episode, Chris asks the uncomfortable but necessary question, pointing to staggering examples like billions lost to Medicaid and Medicare fraud, runaway Pentagon spending, and a political system that refuses to follow the money. From Washington's culture of grift and lobbyist-driven spending to foreign aid and defense dollars flushed down the drain, this is a blunt look at why trust in government has collapsed. If taxes are meant to serve the public good, where exactly is the accountability—and why are taxpayers still being asked to foot the bill?

074 As human beings our nervous system is evolutionarily wired for connection.  While our life  circumstances have changed radically, our neolithic brains are still playing catch up in the modern world.  When a rupture happens in a close relationship we feel it on a primal level.  Core fear gets stirred that harken back to early childhood experiences and even deeper survival instincts coded in our genes.  In a time when more than half of marriages end in divorce it is critical to understand a roadmap for self care and the science of a good break up.In this episode of Awake In Relationship I speak with Cole Zesiger a break up coach and author of Ex's and No's: The Breakup Advice You Don't Want to Hear.  In this conversation we talk about the evolutionary biology driving our most extreme feelings and coping strategies during the end of a long term relationship.  We also discuss how attachment styles inform our approach to conflict and point us to a profound path of personal growth, insight and renewal.

The global push for carbon reduction is reshaping supply chains in unexpected ways. As aviation looks for viable paths to decarbonize, attention has turned to materials that already exist in everyday life. Waste, once treated as an endpoint, is increasingly viewed as a starting point. Used cooking oil is being elevated into a prized raw material in China as sustainable aviation fuel. Are environmental goals, industrial capacity, and global demand happily colliding here? / AI hits the streets: from sidewalks to startups (13:42). On the show: Niu Honglin, Laiming & Yushun

Send me a messageWhat if the fastest way to decarbonise shipping isn't a shiny new fuel, but the waste it's already throwing away?Shipping moves 90% of global trade, yet it's still one of the hardest sectors to decarbonise. In this episode, I'm joined by Nicholas Ball, CEO and founder of XFuel, to unpack why cost, physics, and adoption matter more than climate theatre when cutting emissions at scale.Nicholas leads a company turning difficult waste streams, including oily residues from ships themselves, into fully compliant drop-in fuels for shipping and aviation. These fuels work in existing engines, use existing infrastructure, and can deliver up to 85% lifecycle emissions reductions without charging shipowners three to five times more than fossil fuels. That last point matters. A lot.We dig into why shipping is so price-sensitive, why infrastructure uncertainty is paralysing fuel decisions, and why waiting for perfect solutions risks locking in higher emissions for decades. You'll hear why XFuel focuses on waste-based and recycled carbon fuels, how lifecycle emissions are verified under EU rules, and why “drop-in” isn't a marketing term, it's the difference between pilots and adoption.We also tackle hydrogen head-on. Why it's massively inefficient as a fuel. Why scarce renewable electricity should be used to decarbonise grids and industry first. And why electrification should happen everywhere it can, with fuels reserved for sectors that genuinely have no alternative.If you care about climate tech that actually scales, real-world decarbonisation, and cutting emissions in sectors that don't have easy answers, this conversation matters.

In this episode, Jason Schroeder breaks down a counterintuitive but powerful idea that explains why so many projects never truly improve: money hides waste. Through real construction examples, including data centers and everyday field decisions, Jason shows how throwing money at problems masks poor systems, bad planning, and missed opportunities for real improvement.  What you'll learn in this episode: Why excess money can prevent teams from seeing and fixing real problems. How rushed, overfunded projects often abandon lean thinking and production systems. The connection between money, time, and other resources masking waste. Why solving problems without money builds better thinking and stronger systems. What Japanese craftsmanship and preservation reveal about waste and value. If money were no longer available as a quick fix, what problems on your projects would finally be forced into the open?

Today on the Steve Gruber Show, State Rep. Gina Johnsen of Michigan's 78th District joins the conversation about the Michigan DOGE Task Force Initiative, a Republican-led effort to cut government waste, eliminate inefficiency, and restore accountability and transparency in state government. As a member of the task force, she explains how lawmakers are looking at everything from bloated administrative costs to overlapping departments so taxpayer dollars can be better directed toward veterans, families, and those truly in need, not buried in bureaucracy. Johnsen's work reflects common-sense, taxpayer-first governance and puts a spotlight on reform that aims to strengthen trust in government.

Does God actually like you - or just love you because He has to?If you're a high-achieving Christian woman in business or leadership who feels like God is constantly evaluating, correcting, and disappointed with you, this episode of the Don't Waste the Chaos Podcast with Christian business & HR consultant Kerri Roberts is for you. We'll unpack why so many Christian women in business and faith-driven leadership feel spiritually “behind,” emotionally exhausted, and secretly convinced that God only tolerates them - and how Scripture says something very different.In this solo episode, Kerri invites Christian women in leadership, entrepreneurs, and ambitious, faith-driven professionals into a deeper look at God's heart. Drawing from her own story of leaving corporate life, downshifting to a Missouri farm, and walking through therapy, tapping, and spiritual unraveling, she reframes godly success as emotional health, identity, and spiritual confidence rooted in being liked and delighted in by God.You'll hear how attachment research, childhood patterns, and church culture can wire us to believe God is more corrective than relational - and how passages like Zephaniah 3, Psalm 18, John 15, and the prodigal son in Luke 15 reveal a God who rejoices over you, runs toward you, and calls you friend. Kerri walks through practical ways to rewire your nervous system and your imagination so that your leadership, business, marriage, and parenting flow out of being deeply enjoyed by God, not frantically trying to earn His approval.If you're a faith-driven entrepreneur or Christian woman in business who's tired of constant internal performance reviews, this conversation will help you experience God's delight, embrace your God-given limits, and step into more grounded, joyful, godly success without burning out.Tune in to hear:High-capacity Christian women often confuse responsibility with identity. We project our caregivers onto God. Scripture shows a God who delights, not just tolerates. Your limits are not a failure—they're a feature. Practical practices can reshape how you see God. Sponsor: HR in a BoxIf you're a small to mid-sized business owner who loves Jesus and wants to lead your people with excellence, HR in a Box is Kerri's signature, done-with-you HR system. It helps Christian entrepreneurs and leaders build healthy teams, fair pay structures, and sustainable people operations - without losing your soul (or your weekends) to HR chaos. It's built so you can steward your team well and still have margin for your faith, family, and emotional health.Resources & MentionsDevotional: You Were Never Meant to Do It All – A 40-Day Devotional on the Goodness of Being Human by Kelly Kapic (mentioned as part of Kerri's current spiritual + emotional formation work). https://amzn.to/4iicNKYIf this episode softened how you picture God or opened even a small door toward believing that He actually likes you, don't keep that to yourself.Subscribe to Don't Waste the Chaos on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify so you don't miss the upcoming episodes in this series on identity, emotional health, and godly success.Share this episode with a Christian woman in business or leadership who loves God but secretly believes He's mostly disappointed in her.Join Kerri's Monday Email List for deeper teaching on identity, leadership, and spiritual confidence for Christian women in leadership and faith-driven entrepreneurs: saltmidadvisors.com/contactSupport the show

"Healthcare has had no star score, there's been no reliable pricing. It's all been just a black box." - Will BruhnAn estimated 21% of all medical care in the U.S. is completely unnecessary.

It's that time of year where you begin to question how much your loved ones really know you with the gifts that you receive… The whole ordeal of buying, wrapping and giving the gift.But, how much of it do we remember?

And, how much of it did you just throw out or ‘re-gift'?Joining Ciara to discuss the whole psychology of gift giving is Climate and Environmental Researcher Sadhbh O'Neill and Architect Lecturer and Artist Róisín Murphy.

On today’s Stinchfield, we look at the newest campaign to “Make America Healthy Again”—and it starts at the airport. RFK Jr. and Transportation Secretary Duffy just unveiled a national plan to overhaul America’s airports with health-focused food options, workout areas, stretching stations, hydration hubs—basically turning terminals into mini-wellness centers. Listen, the idea itself is solid. America is unhealthy, and airports are notorious traps of bad food and long hours of sitting. I applaud anyone trying to fix that. But here’s the real question: Should taxpayer dollars be paying for smoothie bars and fitness pods in airports that already make billions of dollars a year? Airports should be doing this on their own. They don’t need Washington’s hand on the scale, and they certainly don’t need your wallet funding boutique wellness projects. Today, we break down the proposal, the politics behind it, and why even good ideas can turn into terrible policy when the government gets involved.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss an arrest in the 2021 Washington, D.C., pipe bomb case, the fierce debates over one of the U.S. strikes against a Venezuelan drug boat, and another colossal waste of your tax dollars.First, they applaud the FBI and other law enforcement for finally arresting the likely culprit behind the January 2021 pipe bombs left outside the Republican National Committee and Democratic National Committee headquarters in Washington. Jim and Greg walk through how investigators connected the dots and why Jim sees this as a win for diligent police work and a clear rebuttal to conspiracy theories.Next, they dive into the fierce debate surrounding the September U.S. attack on a Venezuelan drug boat. Early media reports claimed Secretary of War Pete Hegseth ordered the killing of everyone aboard, prompting multiple strikes. Later reporting sharply contradicts that narrative. Jim says the administration should have laid out the full story from the beginning, but, unlike some Democrats, Jim and Greg shed no tears for the dead drug traffickers.Finally, they sigh at reports that the U.S. Postal Service spent $3 billion of our tax dollars to procure 35,000 new mail trucks but only 612 were made. That's almost $5 million per truck. Jim and Greg fume over the government waste and explain how the government is incapable of being a good steward of our moneyPlease visit our great sponsors:Give your liver the support it deserves with Dose Daily.  Save 35% on your first month when you subscribe at https://DoseDaily.co/3ML or enter code 3ML at checkout.  Before you check out for the holidays, do one smart thing for your future with Noble Gold.
