Seu produto tem funcionalidade, mas os usuários travam antes de chegar ao valor? Neste Enzimas, recebemos Amanda Couto, Especialista de Produto na SEK. Ela traz uma provocação direta: o onboarding no modelo de tutorial com checklist, tour guiado e etapas sequenciais pode estar fazendo mais mal do que bem. O problema, segundo ela, raramente é a ausência de funcionalidade. É o excesso de esforço que o produto joga no usuário antes de ele perceber qualquer valor. Ficou curioso?

Este conteúdo é um trecho do episódio: "Liderança e IA: o que muda na gestão de times".Nele, Hammer Lage, Head de Tecnologia da dti digital, traz dados do relatório DORA para mostrar que, mesmo com 90% dos desenvolvedores usando IA diariamente, os níveis de confiança nas respostas geradas não cresceram na mesma proporção. A partir disso, ele desenvolve a tese de que o maior ganho da IA não está na velocidade de execução, mas na capacidade de expandir o conhecimento humano de forma antes impossível. Ficou curioso?

On this week's episode, we hear from Ivan Doruda, CEO of native advertising platform MGID.Doruda was plotting a new venture when the full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in early 2022 and over the next couple of years served in the army as a reconnaissance soldier, then a drone operator, before rising to become a commanding officer. In the episode, we talk about the different ways in which his military service has impacted on his view of leadership and the existing skills and qualities that helped him on the frontline. He says that faced with an extraordinary situation, “you can still adapt your lessons and experience from previous times, even to circumstances like those”.Doruda also explains how his return to the ad world – in the shape of a job as managing director of the Ukrainian division of GroupM (now WPP Media) – provided the anchor for his readjustment to civilian life. To this day, he says he is “incredibly thankful” to WPP for taking a chance on a veteran. Then, last year, Doruda took up the role of CEO of MGID, the global advertising platform he first joined 15 years ago.We discuss what business ‘resilience' means in the context of a country at war, why integrating AI into your product is easier than into your processes, and the risk of seeing mistakes as a “dead end”.Credits:Presenter: Antonia Garrett PeelProducer: Inga MarsdenArtwork: Chris Barker Hosted on Acast.

Publicis dropped a bomb on Sunday. By Monday, LinkedIn was on fire. Christian, co-host of the In/organic Podcast pulled together two of the sharpest voices in commerce and media to break down what this deal actually means — beyond the press release.Joining In/Organic for this special episode: Ari Paparo, 20-year ad tech veteran, host of the Marketecture podcast, and author of Yield: How Google Bought, Built and Bullied Its Way to Advertising Dominance — and Peter (PVSB) Bond, co-host of the CPG Guys podcast (closing in on episode 600) and Head of Industry and Client Engagement at Flywheel, the commerce acceleration division of Omnicom.This is the one episode this week you can't skip.What we cover: Is this really an agentic AI story or is that just the packaging? Why LiveRamp's client count is already down from 940 to 800 — and what happens next. Why Omnicom, WPP, and every other holdco is immediately accelerating their own identity builds. The three distinct assets inside LiveRamp and which one actually matters. Why Amazon Marketing Cloud is the elephant in the clean room conversation.

What if the darkest chapter of your life turned out to be the very thing that saved it? Sean Clayton is a serial entrepreneur, marketing expert, and founder of Myosin and Mindful Ventures. He has helped bring nine brands to exit totaling over a billion dollars through direct-to-consumer marketing. Today, he is building AI-first marketing products, investing in over 30 companies, and teaching people how to unlock their highest self through integrated spirituality and radical inner work. In this conversation on The Greatness Machine, Darius and Sean dig into one of the most remarkable origin stories you'll hear on this show. Sean opens up about childhood sexual abuse and the deep wounds it left behind, the people-pleasing and affirmation-seeking patterns it created, and the moment he tried to end his life before everything fell apart. He shares how a federal conviction and nearly three years behind bars paradoxically became the turning point that broke a cycle that could have killed him, and how he rebuilt his life from the ground up, starting at a car dealership in a halfway house with $200 in ads and a hunger to prove the world wrong. Sean also shares the spiritual framework he now teaches through the Miracle Academy, including how to get in communion with your inner child, why everything happening outside of you is simply a feedback loop of your internal world, how to recognize and create from life's patterns, and what it truly means to stop efforting through life and start walking in greatness.

His work spans venture growth, regenerative health, Web3 user acquisition, and holistic well-being, with notable partnerships alongside industry giants like Lionsgate, Sony, and Fox. Previously serving as Chief Solution Officer at WPP, Sean has built sustainable growth infrastructures for some of the world's leading brands. He is also the creator of the Miracle Academy, a platform dedicated to integrated spirituality, emotional freedom, and personal transformation.

OpenAI launched its self-serve ad platform for ChatGPT two weeks ago, and the implications are still arriving. No minimum spend. Cost-per-click bidding starts at three to five dollars. Dentsu, Omnicom, Publicis, WPP — every big agency holding company is wired in. The advertising era of ChatGPT didn't begin gradually. It began on May fifth.The 2.5 billion dollars this year, 100 billion by 2030 target is the exact economic model that built Google and Meta. The free-tier user is no longer the customer. The free-tier user is the inventory. No minimum spend means every small business is about to flood in."Without sharing conversations" is the legal version. The advertiser never sees your data. OpenAI sees all of it and sells the right to act on what it sees. The data didn't leak. The middleman just changed seats. That's not a privacy story. That's a conflict of interest story that's now structural, not occasional.Gmail launched in 2004 with no ads and the cleanest interface on the web. Facebook News Feed in 2007 as a way to keep up with friends. Twitter started selling promoted tweets in 2010 after promising it never would. Every era ends the same way. The only thing that changes is how trusted the interface was before the ads showed up.The conversational interface is the highest-trust interaction humans have ever built into a machine. You ask in plain language. It answers in plain language. No blue links. No scrollable feed. Just one voice. We just sold the ad inventory inside that voice. The question isn't whether the model lies to you. The question is what fraction of your day is now navigated through a relationship whose paymaster isn't you.⏱️ Chapters0:00 — OpenAI's self-serve ad platform launched May 50:25 — MiniDoge: $2.5B → $100B is the Google/Meta playbook0:55 — Nyx: the middleman just changed seats; conflict is structural1:25 — MiniDoge: Gmail 2004 → Facebook 2007 → Twitter 2010 → ChatGPT 20262:00 — HH: the assistant works for whoever bid highest now2:15 — Saarvis: we sold the ad inventory inside the most-trusted interface ever built⚡ Learn agentic ai free - https://staas.fund/ai-workshop ⚡-----

Scotty O finally gets to sit down with his old friend and mentor Eric Heller. Back in the day, Eric created one of the first Amazon only agencies in the country, maybe the world? Marketplace Ignition was the blueprint on how to build an Amazon only agency and get it sold.

How do great companies stay distinctive when everything around them is pushing them toward sameness? In this episode of the Innovation Storytellers Show, I sit down with Anthony Reeves, speaker, consultant, and author of Eat the Donkey: Why Great Companies Embrace Discomfort, for a conversation about creativity, brand identity, AI, and why discomfort may be one of the most valuable forces in innovation. Anthony shares how growing up in the Australian outback shaped his understanding of progress, boredom, resilience, and the creative power of empty space. From LVMH and Amazon to WPP, Nike, Jaguar, Kohler, and Southwest Airlines, he explains why the strongest brands know when to evolve and when to protect what made them matter in the first place. The conversation also moves to the tension leaders face in the age of AI. As companies chase efficiency, optimization, and automation, Anthony warns that many risk becoming average by design. We discuss why human creativity, curiosity, and distinctiveness matter even more as technology pulls everyone toward the same answers. This is a conversation about brand courage, creative restlessness, and the difference between useful discomfort and unsafe pressure. How can companies use AI without losing the very human qualities that make them worth choosing? Listen in, and share your thoughts.
Adland's agency networks have been forced to think differently, after a challenging year for holding companies with economic instability, a mega-merger and AI disruption.Publicis began calling itself a “platform organisation” years ago, while Omnicom restructured to become a “premier marketing and sales company” after the acquisition of IPG last year. In February, WPP's chief executive Cindy Rose said: “We don't want to be a holding company any more”, but a “single operating company” instead.Campaign Red released a market report called "The big reboot", looking into the top network's 2025 FY results and what the post-holding company era looks like for the industry.In this episode, Campaign's editorial team is discussing why the largest agency groups are moving away from the holding company label, and what this "reboot" means.

Mr. Beast Biography Flash a weekly Biography.In the past few days, MrBeast, the YouTube titan Jimmy Donaldson, has been at the center of high-stakes drama and empire-building moves that could redefine his biography. On Monday night, fans lost it over his surprise cameo on Survivor 50 during the iconic auction twist, as Entertainment Now reports, where he delivered a Super Beware Advantage briefcase—a gold coin flip that saved Devens at Tribal Council, bumped the prize to 2 million bucks, and handed out an immunity idol, sparking wild online buzz about his reality TV clout.Legal fires rage on: MetaRant details a fresh federal lawsuit from April 22 by ex-Beast Industries exec Lorraine Marois, alleging a toxic workplace with male staff silencing women in meetings and mocking them, plus maternity leave violations—claims the company slams as baseless with refuting messages and docs. No resolution yet, but its biographical weight looms large amid prior Beast Games class actions over contestant exploitation and a simmering 5 million dollar suit against Toronto's MHQ production house, per Hindustan Times, with MHQ countersuing for 10 million more over breach claims tied to the Amazon hit's rushed 2024 filming.Business-wise, Business Insider reveals Beast Industries is aggressively hiring a VP of agency partnerships to lock in multi-year deals with ad giants like WPP and Publicis, signaling deeper dives into the 5 billion dollar media empire that TIME showcased in a recent behind-the-scenes vid, spotlighting his viral machine, snack lines, theme parks, and giveaway spectacles.No major headlines in the last 24 hours, but these threads—lawsuits testing his untouchable image, TV twists boosting his cross-media reach—hint at a pivot from pure philanthropy to scrutinized mogul status.

Have you ever been forced to stop… and realised the way you were living or working just wasn't sustainable anymore? Like something in your life hit pause - and you were left questioning everything you thought success looked like? In this episode of It's a Mindset, I'm joined by Fleur Marks - globally recognised leadership trainer, performance mindset coach and author of The Overachiever's Reset. Fleur built a highly successful career over two decades in senior leadership, driven by ambition, high standards and relentless performance. But that same pace ultimately led to a life-threatening health crisis - what she describes as the “waiting room of death” - forcing her to confront the reality that the way she was succeeding was unsustainable. What followed wasn't a step back from ambition… but a complete reset. In this deeply honest and powerful conversation, Fleur shares how she rebuilt her mindset, redefined success, and now helps high performers break free from the overachiever's cycle - where self-worth becomes tied to achievement and external validation. I was deeply moved by Fleur's strength of character and her ability to stay positive through such significant health challenges. This conversation is a reminder that true success isn't about doing more - it's about understanding what matters, and learning to lead and live in a way that supports both performance and wellbeing. Key Episode Takeaways: How Fleur navigated major health challenges and used them as a catalyst for change Why so many high performers are trapped in the “overachiever's cycle” The power of radical self-acceptance in breaking free from relentless striving How believing you are enough could change everything - for you and those around you The importance of focusing on what's in your control and consciously choosing your response About the Guest: Fleur Marks is a globally recognised leadership trainer, performance mindset coach and author of The Overachiever's Reset. After two decades in senior leadership at WPP, a life-threatening health crisis forced her to stop and completely rethink how she was living and leading. Today, Fleur helps high performers break free from the overachiever's cycle - where self-worth is tied to achievement - and supports them to lead with clarity, impact and sustainability, without sacrificing themselves in the process.

Mr. Beast Biography Flash a weekly Biography.Jimmy Donaldson, known to the world as MrBeast, continues to dominate headlines as the planet's most subscribed YouTube creator with nearly 479 million subscribers as of April 2026. The 27 year old media mogul has built a staggering empire valued at over 5 billion dollars, but recent weeks have painted a complicated picture of unprecedented success tangled with serious legal challenges.On the business front, Beast Industries is actively expanding its advertising operations. According to Business Insider, the company is recruiting a Vice President of Agency Partnerships to bridge MrBeast's ecosystem with major advertising holding companies including WPP, Publicis, and Omnicom. This strategic move signals aggressive growth in securing high value multi year master service agreements, demonstrating Donaldson's ambitions to deepen relationships with traditional advertising powerhouses.Financially, MrBeast's empire continues its meteoric rise. Reports indicate he generated between 600 to 700 million dollars in revenue during 2024 alone, with personal earnings reaching 85 million for 2025. His chocolate brand Feastables alone generated 250 million in revenue last year and is projected to hit 520 million in 2025. Donaldson achieved billionaire status at just 26 years old.However, the legal landscape surrounding MrBeast has darkened considerably. In April 2026, former employee Lorrayne Mavromatis filed a bombshell lawsuit against Beast Industries alleging years of sexual harassment, gender discrimination, and wrongful termination after becoming a mother. Beast Industries has vehemently denied all allegations, releasing statements calling the lawsuit clout chasing and claiming to possess extensive evidence including Slack messages and company documents that refute the claims. The company also accused the lawsuit of exploiting Donaldson's publicly disclosed medical conditions including his eye condition and Crohn's disease.This lawsuit joins a growing list of legal troubles. Five contestants from Beast Games Season 1 filed a class action suit in 2024 alleging mistreatment, sexual harassment, unsafe conditions, and pressure to sign illegal contracts. Additionally, MrBeast's production company is currently engaged in a five million dollar lawsuit against Toronto based production house MHQ over Beast Games Season 1 production disputes, with MHQ countersuing for an additional 10 million in damages.These developments reveal a creator at the absolute pinnacle of digital media influence, yet simultaneously navigating unprecedented workplace and production challenges that could reshape how major content creators operate.Thank you for listening to this edition of MrBeast Biography Flash.

David Kaganovsky, Global Head of Product, Brand at WPP, brings a career spent at the intersection of brand strategy, technology, and applied AI to this conversation on People Solve Problems. His perspective on problem-solving is shaped by experiences at some of the world's most recognized organizations, from PWC and EY to Landor, Wavemaker, and GroupM, and sharpened by time at a startup where there was, as he puts it, no safety net. That startup, Go, set out to reinvent how people get a car. Not just the purchase process, but the entire experience of acquiring, using, and returning a vehicle. David describes the breakthrough moment not as a technical one, but as a conceptual one. The team kept failing when they approached the problem through the lens of traditional automotive retail. They only began to succeed when they stopped thinking about selling cars and started thinking about what customers actually wanted: the same frictionless, phone-in-hand experience they had come to expect from every other transaction in their lives. That insight, focusing on the problem behind the problem, is the thread that runs through everything David shares in this episode. Understanding what people are really after, not just what they say they want or what the surface situation suggests, is at the core of David's approach to any problem. He argues that human beings are largely rational, but their rationality is driven by motivations, incentives, and disincentives that are often invisible unless you take time to look for them. This holds in startups, in large organizations, with clients, with colleagues, and even with customers you may never meet. One of David's colleagues has taken this concept and applied it with the help of AI, building persona simulations that allow a team to stress-test ideas against the likely reactions of key stakeholders before those conversations ever happen. David sees this kind of technology not as a replacement for genuine understanding, but as a tool that makes the effort of understanding others faster and more accessible. When it comes to tackling large, complex problems, David pushes back on the instinct to define everything up front. The pace of change, especially in technology, makes long-horizon planning a risky bet. He advocates for breaking problems into manageable pieces and delivering value as early and as consistently as possible, rather than waiting for a fully realized solution that may be outdated by the time it arrives. That said, he does not dismiss vision entirely. A clear direction of travel matters, not because it predicts the future, but because it aligns people and creates the shared understanding necessary to move well together. Changing course along the way is not a failure; it is evidence of paying attention. On leadership, David holds two things in tension that might seem to contradict each other. He believes in giving people real freedom and real trust. And he also believes in staying close. Not as oversight, but as investment. Being present in the architectural decisions, asking questions, showing up: these are ways of signaling that the work matters and that the leader is genuinely alongside the team, not waiting for a report at the end of the month. He closes with a thought on where all of this is heading: as AI-driven agents become part of how teams operate, the skills of a good manager, giving context, staying engaged, holding accountability with respect, are not fading. They are becoming more important. David Kaganovsky is a thoughtful practitioner whose experience spans some of the most demanding environments in global business.

Welcome back to Truth, Lies & Work, the award-winning podcast where behavioral science meets workplace culture, brought to you by the HubSpot Podcast Network. This week, Al and Leanne are joined by Danni Mohammed, founder of the creative and innovation practice Gentle Forces. Danni has spent her career at some of the world's most iconic agencies—including Saatchi & Saatchi and WPP—but she's now doing something genuinely radical: running a global innovation firm with just two job titles. Danni explores why traditional hierarchies might be holding your team back, how to balance the "chaos" of creativity with the "order" of delivery, and why her team describes their workplace as "calm" despite tackling some of the biggest brand challenges on the planet.
