Some of the best campaigns don't come from massive budgets or high-gloss production. They come from leaning into what feels real. Currys' Gen Z ads are a perfect example: low-fi, deadpan, and unexpectedly brilliant.In this episode, we're unpacking what made this retail campaign a breakout success with the help of our special guest David Hooker, Director of Brand at Printful and Printify.Together, they explore what B2B marketers can learn from embracing scrappy creativity, building brand affinity over awareness, and trusting that great content doesn't need to sell a product—it just needs to make people care.About our guest, David HookerDavid Hooker is the Director of Brand at Printify and Printful. He's an experienced Creative Director and Brand Manager. Built the Prezi Evangelism and Creative Services teams. Seasoned speaker, including TED-X Talk (see below). David built the Brand and PR function at TravelPerk, securing coverage in Wired, TechCrunch, Sky News, Al Jazeera, Financial Times, Business Insider, Handelsblatt, Süddeutsche Zeitung, and the BBC. He's currently helping empower entrepreneurs at Printify and Printful. What B2B Companies Can Learn From Currys' Gen Z ads:You don't need a big budget to make standout content. Some of the most impactful marketing doesn't come from a fancy studio—it comes from a phone camera, an employee, and a smart idea. David says, “You don't have to spend thousands and thousands of dollars to make really good, great content that works.” Don't wait for budget approvals. Focus on originality and execution.B2B still means you're selling to people. Behind every buying committee is a group of humans—ones who laugh, scroll, and crave connection just like everyone else. David says, “You are B2B, but that B is a population of people… you can create great quality content that brightens up people's day, that generates awareness and an affinity for your brand.” Lead with humanity, not just logic.Ignore the naysayers—go make something people love. Not every campaign needs to hit every KPI to be worth doing. Sometimes the boldest ideas face the most resistance—and deliver the most impact. David says, “I'm sure there was someone in the meeting room… who went, ‘How are they gonna know where our stores are?' But the naysayer was wrong. If you make really great quality content that people connect with, enjoy—it's going to do good things for your marketing.” Make the thing. Publish the thing. Let the audience prove it out.Quote*“ You don't have to spend thousands and thousands of dollars to make really great content that works. Investing in the content and the quality of the content always pays off… Your B2B, but that B is a population of people, right? You've got an ecosystem of decision makers, but they're all human beings at least for the moment…You can create great quality content that brightens up people's day, that generates awareness and an affinity for your brand, without spending a lot if you focus on the content itself.”Time Stamps[00:55] Meet David Hooker, Director of Brand at Printify and Printful[01:08] Why Currys' Gen Z ads?[02:35] The Origin Story of Printful and Printify[09:32] The Power of Merch[13:38] The Demand for Personalization[24:11] Understanding the Currys' Gen Z Ad Campaign[33:11] B2B Marketing Lessons from the Gen Z Currys' Ads[40:41] Authenticity in Advertising[52:21] Advice for Brand Leaders[54:26] Importance of Visual LiteracyLinksConnect with David on LinkedInLearn more about PrintifyLearn more about PrintfulAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

Sign up for our daily Substack here! Kevin Kelly has made a career out of looking to the future. He helped pioneer online social networking all the way back in the 1980s, and he co-founded Wired, the magazine devoted to digital technology, when the internet was still an infant. But in his new book, Excellent Advice for Living, he looks backward. It's a collection of 450 bits of wisdom he wishes he'd known when he was young. Things like “Being enthusiastic is worth 25 IQ points” and “That thing that made you weird as a kid could make you great as an adult—if you don't lose it.” Today on the show he shares his best advice for building careers, nurturing relationships, solving problems, and finding satisfaction. He also explains why he's more optimistic than ever about technology (yes, even AI).
In this wide-ranging conversation, journalist Mattha Busby joins Joe Moore to reflect on the shifting tone of the psychedelic movement in the wake of Psychedelic Science 2025. Based in Vancouver, Mattha has written for The Guardian, VICE, Esquire, TIME, and Wired, bringing a uniquely embedded yet critical lens to the space. They discuss the post-conference mood and the sense that the industry is sobering up—less hype, more introspection. Mattha reflects on the growing division between underground practitioners, activists, and biotech startups, and the importance of vision, ethics, and scrutiny in the midst of this cultural moment. Other topics include: Ketamine overuse and dependence, especially in social and parenting contexts The future of psychedelic nightlife, harm reduction, and mocktail bars Gender and sexual fluidity as uncovered through psychedelics Questions of IP, underground wisdom, and psychedelic ownership Psychedelics as tools for peacebuilding, especially in conflict zones The shadow side of spiritual experiences and how to spot bad actors The value of pleasure, intimacy, and human connection in the psychedelic journey Joe and Mattha also reflect on the resurgence of psychedelic use in Texas, the legacy of the Stark Club, and how Christian libertarianism and military trauma might influence unexpected policy changes. This conversation is bold, honest, funny, and thoughtful—exactly the kind of cultural critique the movement needs right now. Find Mattha on Instagram at @matthamundo and on LinkedIn at Mattha Busby.

Dear Article Clubbers,Thank you for the kind birthday wishes last week. It's true that our reading community is 10 years old. And we're just getting started!Just like that, we're in July, which means this week's issue is dedicated to featuring the article of the month and encouraging you to join our discussion.I'm happy to announce that this month, we're going to be diving into “The End of Children,” by Gideon Lewis-Kraus. Published in February in The New Yorker, the article explores the imminent stark drop in population around the world, most notably in South Korea.Don't worry: Even though the declining human fertility rate has become a political topic in the United States, this piece is nuanced and deeply reported. I'm certain you'll appreciate it, even if you end up disagreeing with the writer's stance.Inside today's issue, you'll find:* Melinda and my first impressions of the article (on the podcast)* My blurb about the article* A short bio of the author* A warm invite to join our discussion on July 27If you can't be bothered by all of that, and just want to sign up for the discussion right here and now, by all means, please do!The End of ChildrenGrowing up, I worried about many things. One source of worry was my family's evacuation plan in case of fire; it wasn't robust enough. Another source was the world's exponential population increase, which would inevitably doom us.Turns out, at the time, my concern was not unfounded. In 1968, Paul Ehrlich wrote in The Population Bomb that millions of people would die of starvation unless governments aggressively curtailed the fertility rate. But instead of population rising without bound, the opposite has happened. In 2023, for the first time ever, because on average each woman had fewer than 2.1 children (the “replacement rate”), the world's population shrank. All projections say this trend will continue, until one day, there won't be enough people for us to sustain as a species.In Seoul, where writer Gideon Lewis-Kraus focuses this article, “children are largely phantom presences.” There are more dogs than children. Ask anyone on the street, a Korean demographer said, and they'll know the country's fertility rate. (It is 0.7, the lowest in the world.) Kids bring ick. Many businesses are “no-kids zones.”The United States (fertility rate: 1.6) is headed in a similar direction, Mr. Lewis-Kraus argues. The truth is, for whatever reason (and there are many), younger Americans no longer think having children is an inevitability. As immigration declines, and climate concerns rise, and structural inequities worsen, our country may face the same problem as Korea. And that could lead to catastrophe.Should we care about the declining fertility rate? Or is it just a misogynistic conservative ruse to distract our attention from the deleterious effects of climate change? In my opinion, this is the first article written by a progressive that has looked seriously at the issue and presented it to a mainstream audience.By Gideon Lewis-Kraus • The New Yorker • 42 min • Gift Link➕ Bonus: Here's the article with my handwritten highlights and annotations.About the authorA staff writer at The New Yorker, Mr. Lewis-Kraus grew up in New Jersey and graduated from Stanford. He writes reportage and criticism and is the author of the digressive travel memoir A Sense of Direction as well as the Kindle Single No Exit. Previously, he was a writer-at-large at The New York Times Magazine, a contributing editor at Harper's magazine, and a contributing writer at WIRED magazine. He has lived in San Francisco, Berlin, and Shanghai, and now lives in Brooklyn with his wife and two small children. Mr. Lewis-Kraus generously recorded an interview with Article Club, which will be published in two weeks.About the discussionMy hope is that you'll read “The End of Children” and want to talk about it! (Even though we don't “debate” at Article Club discussions, I predict this topic will lead to a spicier-than-usual conversation.)We'll be meeting up on Zoom on Sunday, July 27, 2:00 - 3:30 pm PT. We'll spend the first few minutes saying hi and doing short introductions. Then after I frame the piece and share our community agreements, we'll break out into small, facilitated discussion groups. The small groups usually include 5-8 people, so there's plenty of time to share your perspectives and listen to others. That's where we'll spend the bulk of our time. Toward the end, we'll return to the full group, sharing our reflections and appreciations of fellow participants.If this sounds interesting to you, sign up by clicking on the button below.If you're unsure, I get it. If you don't know me, it might feel strange to sign up for an online discussion with total strangers. But I am confident that you'll find yourself at home with other kind people who like to read deeply and explore ideas in community. We've done this 58 times, and by now, it's not a surprise that we're able to create an intimate space, almost like we're in the same physical room together.I hope that you read the piece. If it resonates with you, I encourage you to take the plunge and join us on July 27!Thank you for reading and listening to this week's issue. Hope you liked it.

Now they're talking about feeling seen by two of Julie Andrews' most iconic roles, and how Allison's views on life and the characters she embodies have changed over the years.Then Jordan has one quick thing about her nominee for who should play the new James Bond. ***With Jordan Crucchiola and Allison Williams Feeling Seen is hosted by Jordan Crucchiola and is a production Maximum Fun.Need more Feeling Seen?

In this thought-provoking second part of the conversation with Dr. Leonard Sax, Lori Apon dives deeper into important challenges facing single and widowed moms raising children without fathers: overdiagnosis, unnecessary medication, and the critical role of sleep and structure.Dr. Sax, a renowned family physician, psychologist, and author of The Collapse of Parenting, Boys Adrift, and Girls on the Edge, sheds light on cultural trends in the United States that lead to children—especially boys—being quickly labeled and medicated for behavior that may actually stem from poor sleep or lack of structure.Lori and Dr. Sax explore:Why ADHD is often misdiagnosed in American children, and the alarming trend of prescribing medication as a first resortWhy developing self-control in children is more predictive of success than school gradesThe vital distinction between normal behavior and behavior influenced by griefDr. Sax offers practical advice and encouragement to moms, emphasizing that children thrive when parents provide clear rules, consistent boundaries, and compassionate leadership.The Collapse of Parenting – Dr. Leonard SaxBoys Adrift – Dr. Leonard SaxGirls on the Edge: Why So Many Girls Are Anxious, Wired, and Obsessed and What Parents Can Do – Dr. Leonard SaxEpisode Part One: The Collapse of Parenting – Why Authority MattersHelpful Resources:For more information and helpful resources, check our website, PerspectiveMinistries.org & follow us on Instagram @PerspectiveMinistries.
They told you the body was just biology… but the ancients knew better.In this episode, we dive into the Taoist view of the body as an interface.Not just organs and flesh... but energy, emotion, and intelligence.A full system. Wired to the field.Here's what we break down:The real meaning behind the Five Elements (not the watered-down version)Why each organ holds a specific emotion, and how that shapes your realityHow Taoist view maps to frequency, energy fields, and the human physiologyWhat it really means to live in harmony with the cosmosThis isn't wellness fluff.. We call out that false light loop.This is the original blueprint for how your body connects to everything.
Ever find yourself stuck in the same frustrating loops, overcommitting, spiraling into self-doubt, or working yourself to the edge of burnout, and wonder why you keep doing it?It's not because you're broken. It's because you're wired that way. But here's the good news: your wiring can change.In this powerful kickoff to our July series, I'm talking about the habit loops and mental patterns that run our lives on autopilot, often without us even realizing it. Drawing from habit science and real-life examples, I explain how your brain is simply trying to protect you… even if the patterns it's built are no longer serving you.In this episode, you'll learn:Why we repeat patterns we know are unhealthyHow your brain creates, and clings to, habit loops for survivalWhy self-awareness is the most underrated tool for changeHow to shift from judging your patterns to witnessing them with compassionThis isn't about fixing yourself, it's about finally seeing yourself clearly.

On today's episode of The Right Time, Bomani Jones discusses the Ace Bailey saga, LeBron James' future and the Malik Beasley investigation. Bo starts off the show by asking what did Ace Bailey actually want out of all of this (1:28) and whoever was representing him was making terrible decisions (11:57). Bo moves onto LeBron James opting into his $52M deal with the Lakers which makes life difficult for Rich Paul (13:36) and begs the question - is LeBron still severely underpaid (14:28) ? Bo rounds out the basketball discussion by saying Malik Beasley betting on props won't bother the general public (26:20) but why this will continue to ruin the integrity of the sport as long as we can bet from our phones (29:40). And finally, we have another round of If You Haven't Heard stories involving weight loss products, air conditioning in the summer and a dating app based on your search history (35:28).

Your nervous system's main job isn't to make you happy. It's to keep you safe. That's why, even after the danger is over, your body can still act like it's under threat. In this mini episode, Dr. Aimie goes into the biology behind how trauma gets stuck in the body and why it's so hard to “just move on.” You'll learn how something called the body trauma loop keeps your system in survival mode, and how the brain's ability to learn (neuroplasticity) can actually lock in trauma patterns over time. In this episode, you'll hear about: The 3 trauma survival responses: shutdown, disconnection, and freeze Why your body keeps flipping between stress and shut down How your brain and body learn to repeat trauma patterns automatically How things like inflammation and oxidative stress keep your nervous system stuck Why just saying “you're safe” isn't enough A step-by-step process to help your body shift out of survival and into safety Simple, body-based tools (somatic practices) you can use daily to calm your nervous system Whether you're a practitioner or someone who's tired of feeling anxious, frozen, or burned out, this episode will help you understand what's happening in your body and how to start changing it.
Zoë Schiffer is joined by WIRED's Vittoria Elliott to discuss her conversation with Sahil Lavingia. Lavingia worked at Elon Musk's so-called Department of Government Efficiency, within the Department of Veteran Affairs, until he was fired for speaking out about his experience. Lavingia said his time at the VA was marked by a lack of transparency from DOGE leadership, and chaotic day-to-day operations– the ramifications of which are still being felt today. Just this week, Senators called for a federal investigation into the Trump administration's killing of hundreds of contracts for the Department of Veterans Affairs Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
Deb Dana, LCSW, is a renowned clinician, consultant, speaker, and author whose groundbreaking work bridges the science of the nervous system with everyday wellbeing. As a founding member of the Polyvagal Institute and advisor to both Khiron Clinics and Unyte, Deb is widely recognized for making Polyvagal Theory accessible to both professionals and the general public. She pioneered the Rhythm of Regulation® approach to help people understand and connect with their nervous systems in meaningful ways. Deb's clinical publications, The Polyvagal Theory in Therapy and Polyvagal Exercises, have become foundational texts in the field, while her bestselling books, including Anchored and The Nervous System Workbook, bring this transformative work to a broader audience. In today's episode, host Shay Beider welcomes Dana Deb to discuss her work with regulating the nervous system using the principles of Polyvagal Theory. Deb explains that every nervous system is wired for connection and regulation and emphasizes the importance of understanding how our nervous system functions. There are three organizing principles: neuroception, hierarchy, and co-regulation that the duo discuss. Deb shares her personal story of navigating loss and how her “Glimmers Journal” allows readers to reflect on small moments of hope that create larger moments of healing. Finally, the pair discuss reframing behaviors through an autonomic lens, viewing negative behaviors as dysregulated rather than malicious. Listen to the complete episode by clicking the player above.
