Descript is a powerful tool for editing audio and video, and its AI Social Clips feature promises to make it easy to turn long-form content into short clips for platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts.But in my experience… it's not nearly as intuitive as people make it sound.Most tutorials only demonstrate the feature with a single host, which works well enough. But if you're working with multiple speakers, remote interviews, or a multicam podcast setup, the workflow becomes much less obvious.In this video, I walk through:How the AI Social Clips tool works for a solo hostThe issues that arise with two hosts or guest interviewsHow to combine Descript's Multicam editing with the Social Clips featureFixing problems like incorrect camera selection, transitions, and framingExporting clips ready for social mediaI also share some of the frustrations and limitations I've run into while using the tool and how I've worked around them.Descript can absolutely save time for social media clipping, but there are some quirks that aren't obvious until you start working with it.If you're trying to create social clips from podcast interviews or multicam recordings, this walkthrough should help.TIMECODES:00:00 Why Social Clips Matter02:13 Solo Clip Workflow Basics03:45 Clean Up Audio and Text04:50 Create Clips Settings06:34 Fix Framing and Glitches10:30 Export and Download11:41 Multicam Setup for Two Speakers13:58 Generate Two Person Clips16:41 Final Tips and Wrap Up

In this keynote address to the NextGen community, I talk about the coming tidal wave of AI influencers and what you must do to survive and thrive. I encourage you to diversify your content across multiple platforms, especially YouTube Shorts, as a "defense mechanism from disappearing." I also discuss why selfish content always leads to plateaus and how detaching from the need for admiration is the key to courage and consistency. You'll learn about:The Inevitable Rise of AI InfluencersWhy Attention is Always ChangingThe Power of Selflessness and Bringing Value to Your AudienceThe Necessity of Platform Diversification (YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn, Substack)Why Building Community Depth Matters More Than EverThe Massive Opportunity in Live ShoppingHow to Detach from Admiration and Deal with Judgment

In this keynote from Expo West, I share my current strategy for conquering the evolving media landscape, which has shifted from "social media" to "interest media" where content finds its audience. I explain why CPG brands must view themselves as media companies and aggressively invest in organic content creation across multiple platforms, dedicating at least 20% of their marketing budget to organic social production.  You'll learn about:Why I'm Tired of Brands Ignoring Organic SocialThe Secret Connection Between YouTube Shorts and Gemini LLMAI is the New Internet: Why You're Not Too LateMy 20% Rule for Organic Social Production (Even for Small Brands)How to Become a Media Company That Sells a ProductWhy Efficiency (Not Hustle) is the Key to Finding More TimeThe Danger of Compromising Culture and IngredientsI reveal the crucial role of YouTube Shorts in feeding the Gemini Large Language Model (LLM) to help your products show up in search results.

Oldest Stories Album available here: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/oldeststoriesmusic/oldest-stories-vol-1 but also possibly on your favorite music distributor service also. Check it out!This episode examines the middle years of the reign of Sargon II of Assyria (r. 722–705 BCE) during a brief period when the Assyrian Empire faced unusually little large-scale war. Following Sargon's major victory over Urartu in 714–713 BCE, the geopolitical balance of the Near East shifted dramatically. Urartu, long the primary rival to Assyria in the Armenian highlands, was weakened both by Sargon's campaign and by the simultaneous arrival of Cimmerian nomadic groups moving south from the Eurasian steppe. With the northern frontier temporarily stabilized, Assyria was able to redirect attention to other regions of the empire.The episode explores several smaller conflicts and political developments across the western and northern frontiers of the Assyrian state. These include Assyrian responses to Ionian Greek activity in the eastern Mediterranean, tensions involving the kingdom of Phrygia under King Midas, and Assyrian intervention in Que (Cilicia) and surrounding Anatolian regions. At the same time, Sargon dealt with internal revolts and political instability among the Medes, the mountain regions of Ellipi and Karalla, and the frontier kingdoms of Tabal and Melid. These campaigns illustrate the normal functioning of Assyrian imperial policy: suppression of rebellions, deportations of local populations, and the conversion of client kingdoms into directly administered Assyrian provinces.A major focus of the episode is the internal operation of the Assyrian imperial system during periods without major war. The construction of Dur-Sharrukin (Khorsabad), Sargon II's new royal capital, was underway during these years and required enormous logistical coordination. The episode discusses how the Assyrian state mobilized labor through the ilku labor obligation, how deported populations enabled large-scale construction and agricultural expansion, and how provincial governors coordinated the movement of materials such as timber, metals, and stone across the empire. Additional projects included fortress construction along frontier regions, mining expansion in the Zagros and Syrian territories, canal digging, orchard planting, and temple renovation in major Assyrian cities.The episode also examines Assyria's economic structure and trade environment during Sargon's reign. Evidence from administrative letters suggests increased regulation of trade routes and resource flows, including restrictions on certain goods such as iron. Interactions with Arab tribes and desert traders, including references to Queen Samsi of the Arabs, highlight the complex relationship between Assyria and nomadic groups operating on the edges of imperial control.Finally, the narrative turns to renewed instability in the west triggered by rumors of Sargon's death and unfavorable omens. Rebellions in Philistine Ashdod, Gurgum, and Kammanu prompted swift Assyrian retaliation, demonstrating the continuing reliance on rapid punitive campaigns to maintain imperial authority. These events mark the end of the short period of relative calm and set the stage for Sargon's major campaign to reclaim Babylon, which had been lost earlier in his reign after the revolt of Merodach-Baladan and Elamite intervention.I am also doing daily history facts again, at least until I run out of time again.

My newsletter: https://simonowens.substack.com/   Founded during the pandemic, the The News Movement set out with a simple but radical premise: what if journalism were designed entirely for the platforms where younger audiences already consume information? Rather than trying to pull readers back to a website, the company built a newsroom that publishes directly to TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts, translating the conventions of traditional reporting into vertical video, carousels, and other native formats.    In a recent interview, editor-in-chief Rebecca Hutson explained how the outlet approaches platform-first journalism, why its reporters function as "triple-threat" video journalists who can shoot, edit, and publish their own stories, and how the company tailors coverage differently for each social platform.

Épisode 1442 : On est tombés sur un très beau vivier de contenues communautaires autour de la marque GUINESS qui malgré toutes les réglementations autour de l'alcool sur les réseaux arrive à rester extrêmement visible grâce à l'UGC.Peut‑on vraiment réguler l'imaginaire d'une love brand, alors que la conversation se déroule désormais entre les gens, sur leurs propres comptes ?Guinness : le cheval de Troie de la culture irlandaiseImplantation historique : Arthur Guinness signe le bail de sa première brasserie à St James's Gate à Dublin en 1759, Guinness devient progressivement la bière brune de référence en Irlande puis au Royaume‑Uni au XIXe siècle.Une marque avec une Culture historique du brandingGuiness adopte comme symbole la harpe. C'est leur premier logo adoptée au début du XIXe. Aujourd'hui la harpe est devenu un emblème officiel de l'Irlande, ce qui ancre Guinness dans l'imaginaire national.La marque construit sa légende via des campagnes ultra créatives depuis 1929 (« Guinness is good for you » puis « My Goodness, My Guinness ».) qui font école en print. Guinness, construit son branding autour de 3 piliersLa marque construit sa plateforme de marque sur 3 piliers qui structurent toute la communication : power, goodness, communion (caractère, bienveillance, lien social). Cette vision elle a été drafté en 1930 et elle continue d'être d'actualité 100 an plus tard.C'est aussi ça qui donnent une cohérence narrative dans le temps.—Et ces 3 piliers ont les retrouve tout à fait dans la prise de parole de la marque sur Instagram.Compte officiel de la marque sur Instagram compte 462k followers—Le pilier power / caractère il est porté par une série de posts très simple et efficace.Des carrousels avec 2 Slides. Une pinte avant et une pinte après.On retrouve tout l'ADN bold et direct de la marque.-La marque articule son ADN de goodness (bienveillance) autour d'une idée simple : Guinness doit être “une force positive” dans la vie des gens, pas juste “une bière en plus”.Guinness, c'est une marque de gentils. Une marque qui propose une vision non cynique du monde. ET sur les réseaux sociaux, faire du vrai gentil non clivant c'est un vrai statement. Cet ADN de bienveillance on le retrouve dans la tonalité de la marque. Pas de vanne, pas de clivage, pas de nous vs les autres.Pour la marque Guinness, la bienveillance elle passe aussi par la patience.3ème élément de la plateforme de marque « communion » ou lien social.La bière est présentée comme catalyseur de moments où les gens se rassemblent pour le meilleur. Ca se passe dans un pub, mais aussi dans un stade par exemple.Sur Instagram, la marque propose une série vidéo intitulée « A Lovely Day ». Elle part à la rencontre de supporters de foot anglais. Des copains, des papa et leurs fistons, des anciens.. Il est question de passion, de transmission et de lien social.Zoom “Split the G” : quand un jeu de bar devient un média mondial•Le principe est simple : prendre une seule gorgée de Guinness pour que le niveau du liquide s'arrête pile au milieu du “G” du logo gravé sur le verre : “split the G”.•Défi filmé en pubs, comparaison entre potes (“qui a mieux split le G ?”), puis explosion sur TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts.•Des créateurs et célébrités (ex. Ed Sheeran,) s'en emparent, ce qui donne au challenge une portée internationale et en fait une sorte de badge culturel.…Retrouvez toutes les notes de l'épisode sur www.lesuperdaily.com !

In this episode of the GaryVee Audio Experience, I sit down with Jon Evans to discuss the enduring truth of marketing, the massive mid-funnel opportunity, and the challenges facing corporate marketers today. I share my foundational belief that relevance leads to purchase and explain how I used this principle to grow my father's business, Wine Library. I'm "flabbergasted" by the amount of money still wasted on unvalidated creative and make the case for why marketers are losing credibility with "fake data." You'll learn:The unchanging business truth that relevance leads to consideration and purchase.Why I believe the mid-funnel—organic social media creative—is the biggest opportunity in marketing.My strategy for validating creative for free on social media platforms before spending media dollars.Why I am seeing CFOs show more belief in modern marketing strategies than CMOs.Why Live Social Shopping and YouTube Shorts are the most important trends for any product-selling business today.The number one trait of a successful marketer is the "lack of fear of losing their job"

Dr. Laura Scherck Wittkoff welcomes Ann Medlock and John Graham, the founders and leaders of the Giraffe Heroes Project—an organization that has spent over 40 years celebrating ordinary people who "stick their necks out" for the common good. From their serendipitous Superman movie meet-cute to building a global movement around courage, compassion, and community, Ann and John share how storytelling became their most powerful tool for inspiring action and creating change. Key Topics Discussed The Power of Storytelling Over Preaching - John's evolution: realizing that 10,000 years of human history—from Neanderthals to troubadours—proves that **stories inspire action** in ways speeches cannot - How storytelling bypasses the mind's objections and goes straight to the heart - The role of narrative in communicating core values and inspiring heroism Redefining Courage - Courage isn't gender-specific—it's something we all possess - Ann's bold stance: firing an advisor who claimed courage was a "man's issue" - John's journey: recognizing that emotional and spiritual courage are as powerful as physical bravery - Why physical courage (climbing mountains, dodging bullets) was easier than the emotional courage required for real change The Giraffe Heroes Project: Mission & Impact - Founded in 1981 by Ann Medlock as an antidote to violence and trivia in media - Nearly 2,000 giraffes honored across 30+ fields and 16+ countries - Seven overseas affiliates extending impact globally - Civil disobedience (à la Gandhi and MLK) is celebrated; actions must benefit significant numbers of people Collaboration Over Competition - The Giraffe Heroes school program is built on collaboration, not competition - Free, digital-accessible curriculum for teachers worldwide - The program transforms classrooms: creating "communities of learners" instead of isolated, competing students - The powerful bicycle story: a student's classmates cheer when he masters riding a two-wheel bike—something that wouldn't have happened before the program Education & Youth Empowerment - Over 2,000 classroom downloads; approximately 375,000 children reached through print materials - Materials available free at Giraffe.org/teachers (email sign-up only) - The US Navy uses the program in overseas schools - Cartoon characters "Stanley" (Stand Tall) and "Beatrice" (Be Tall)—giraffe twins—tell stories to 3-year-olds about bravery and caring - Grandpa and Grandma tell different versions to reach multiple learning styles - Teachers report that kids shift from isolated to connected when exposed to the program The Ripple Effect of Recognition - Many heroes don't see themselves as heroic and are reluctant to share their stories - Telling giraffe stories inspires not just the public, but the giraffes themselves - Real example: a small-town barber doing community work thinks no one is watching—until the story is told and volunteers and support arrive - Some giraffes report they considered quitting but were re-energized by hearing their own story shared Overcoming Barriers - **Funding:** The biggest ongoing challenge. Some funders prefer direct interventions (saving redwoods, backing candidates) over storytelling - Early federal grants supported classroom curriculum development (over $1M across 10 years) - Money and mindset: convincing people that purpose-driven storytelling is as important as tactical giving - The "lightweight" perception: early critics dismissed storytelling as trivial until results were undeniable The Love Story Within the Hero Story - Ann and John met at a writer's group in New York, 1981-1982 - Ann invited John to see the original Superman movie (somewhat reluctantly) - Their three-day courtship led to a 44+ year partnership - John initially thought the giraffe concept was "lightweight" but came to see Ann as a "troubadour for our times" - Wedding entry music: Superman theme - John writes the bylaws; Ann does the creative, bold work—"it works out well" Aging, Purpose, and Public Health - Doing good has measurable health benefits, especially for aging populations - Purpose-driven service is a form of preventive medicine - Ann is 92 years old and "not quitting"; John is 83 and still creating TikToks and short-form videos - Stories of older heroes: a woman in her 80s smuggling pharmaceuticals to Central American revolutionaries, organizing environmentalists and tribes in the Pacific Northwest - The Swiss watch metaphor: a life without purpose is like a watch with no hands—what's the point? Adapting & Staying Relevant - Evolution from LPs (33s) shipped to radio stations → print materials → digital access - Now on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts, and other social platforms - Constantly reinventing tactics and strategies while staying true to the 1981 mission - Not falling behind culturally is essential to remaining impactful The Dream: "Giraffe" as a Verb - Ann's top wish: for "giraffe" to become a verb—"Let's giraffe this!" - Similar to how "Google" and "Kleenex" became verbs - A measure of cultural penetration and lasting impact Global Scale, Tiny Budget - Working on less than $100K annually - "Tiny but mighty" organization with genuinely global impact - Known from North America to Singapore - Seven overseas affiliates amplifying reach Inspiration from Other Heroes - Ann draws inspiration from Nelson Mandela's autobiographies and insightful life stories - John's personal mantra: Robert Frost's "Two roads diverged in a yellow wood / I took the one less traveled by / And that's all the difference" - Ann's personal song: "Whatever Lola Wants" from Damn Yankees—she's created something from nothing and keeps iterating **Website:** Giraffe.org - **Teacher Materials:** Giraffe.org/teachers (free, digital, email sign-up) - **Contact:** Laura at Small and Gutsy (laura@smallandgutsy.org) - **Social Media:** Giraffe Heroes on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts **Ann Medlock** is a freelance editor, publicist, and writer who founded the Giraffe Heroes Project in 1981. She was named an Education Innovator by the National Education Association and received the Caring Institute's Caring Award. At 92 years old, she continues to lead the organization and develop new materials. **John Graham** is the Executive Director of Giraffe Heroes.

In this episode, writer-producer Hilliard Guess and guest co-host actor-writer-prod-dir Dalila Ali Rajah sit down for an educational conversation (we do talk a bit of politics in this one - FYI), with actor/writer/coach and 2026 NAACP Image Award nominee ADAM DAVENPORT, recognized in the Outstanding Literary Work – Journalism category for his essay examining Audra McDonald's 2025 Tony Awards performance of “Rose's Turn.” The piece reframes the performance as a landmark cultural moment - serving as an act of protest, reclamation, and artistic defiance within the lineage of Black women reshaping American performance. The nomination is a full-circle moment for Davenport, as the NAACP was the first organization to recognize his writing when he was in high school. He can speak to the nomination as well as his broader career as a multidisciplinary artist working across acting, writing, directing, producing, casting, and education. A Chicago native and Yale graduate, Davenport is a member of SAG-AFTRA, BAFTA, the European Film Academy, and the Recording Academy. His screen work includes Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (Netflix), for which he received a Satellite Award for Best Ensemble alongside multiple critics' group honors. In 2020, he founded The International Acting Studio (TIAS), where he coaches actors working at the highest international level. Two performers he coached are current 2026 Czech Lion Award nominees, and his clients have appeared in projects including The Brutalist, Dune: Part Two, The Crown, and numerous network and cable series.Read the Essay here:https://www.bronzecommhub.com/blog/audra-mcdonald-took-the-stage-and-rewrote-the-rules

This episode explores how the Neo-Assyrian Empire actually functioned at the administrative level under Sargon II, focusing on imperial bureaucracy, logistics, and governance. Using surviving Assyrian letters and court records, we examine the real machinery of empire: provincial governors, royal magnates, intelligence networks, military command structure, taxation, construction logistics, and the role of officials like the Rab Shaqe, Turtan, Sukkallu, Sartinnu, Ummanu, and Masennu.Rather than focusing on warfare alone, this episode shows how Assyria maintained control through record-keeping, resource management, legal authority, and centralized oversight. Topics include Dur-Sharrukin's construction, Assyrian spy networks, provincial administration, legal appeals, slavery and fines, river ordeals, divination in government, and the logistics behind canal building, armies, and royal projects.Primary sources from Neo-Assyrian archives reveal how officials negotiated with the king, managed shortages, tracked materials, and enforced justice across a multi-ethnic empire. This is a deep dive into Assyrian imperial administration, ancient Near Eastern bureaucracy, and the practical realities of ruling one of history's first true empires.Keywords: Neo-Assyrian Empire, Sargon II, Assyrian administration, ancient bureaucracy, Mesopotamian government, Assyrian letters, Dur-Sharrukin, Assyrian logistics, ancient empires, Near East history, Assyrian law, provincial governors, ancient military organization, Assyrian records, Mesopotamian history.I am also doing daily history facts again, at least until I run out of time again.

Join the Apparel Success Mastermind (limited time price drop): https://www.skool.com/apparel-success-mastermindSponsored by Design.com — create designs faster: https://www.design.com/rob88I'm going to give you the most in-depth strategy session on how to do content marketing for your clothing brand in 2026 — and why most clothing brands never get sales from TikTok, Instagram Reels, or YouTube Shorts.After generating millions of views across TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram, doing $1M+ in online sales, and working with 500+ clothing brands one-on-one, I can tell you this: most clothing brands post the same “lookbook / product promo” content over and over… and then wonder why they're stuck at a couple hundred views and zero sales.In this video, I'm breaking down the exact process to make content work (using the scientific method + experimentation), how to find a repeatable content formula, and what's actually working right now in 2026: authenticity, parasocial connection, and relatable content that people want to share.If you're building a clothing brand, streetwear brand, apparel business, or ecommerce brand, this will show you how to turn content into real traction — not just “posts.”

In this episode of Oldest Stories, we cover Sargon II of Assyria and his most famous campaign: the Great Invasion of Urartu (714 BCE), centered on the extraordinary Assyrian text known as Sargon's Letter to Ashur. This episode examines the Neo-Assyrian Empire, Assyrian military strategy, intelligence networks, and imperial warfare in the late 8th century BCE, drawing directly from Assyrian royal inscriptions, letters, and annals.We follow Sargon II (r. 722–705 BCE) from the construction of Dur-Sharrukin (Khorsabad) through his campaigns in Mannea, Zikirtu, Zamua, the Zagros Mountains, and deep into Urartian territory near Lake Van. Special attention is given to Assyrian spy networks and intelligence reports, including letters from the Assyrian agent Assur-resuwa, which provide rare, detailed insight into ancient espionage, reconnaissance, and military planning.The episode analyzes the Letter to Ashur, one of the most detailed narrative texts to survive from ancient Mesopotamia, describing Sargon's march routes, logistics, road construction, mountain warfare, pitched battles, and large-scale destruction. We discuss how this text differs from typical Assyrian annals, why it was written, and how it shaped Sargon's reputation as a conqueror.Major topics include:• Sargon II and the Sargonid dynasty• Assyrian military organization and logistics• Ancient Near Eastern intelligence and espionage• The Assyrian–Urartian rivalry• Mannea, Zikirtu, Musasir, and Nairi• The sack of Musasir (Ardini) and the capture of the god Ḫaldi• Destruction of Urartian cities, orchards, irrigation systems, and tax bases• Imperial propaganda vs historical reality• Ancient warfare in the Zagros Mountains• Neo-Assyrian imperial ideology and kingship• The beginning of Assyria's late imperial “golden age”This episode is ideal for listeners interested in Assyrian history, ancient Mesopotamia, Urartu, biblical-era history, ancient warfare, Near Eastern archaeology, and primary historical sources from the first millennium BCE.Oldest Stories is a long-form history podcast focused on the ancient Near East, especially Mesopotamia, Assyria, Babylon, and the surrounding world. New episodes explore royal inscriptions, letters, myths, daily life, and the political realities behind ancient empires.I am also doing daily history facts again, at least until I run out of time again.

Today on the podcast, I am welcoming back my good pal and friend of the show Andy Lambert, who was actually one of my very first guests back on episode 43! Since then, the social media landscape has changed dramatically, and Andy has gone from co-founding ContentCal to becoming a Senior Product Marketing Manager at Adobe. In this episode, Andy gives us a veritable masterclass on LinkedIn, explaining why it is currently the single best platform to find your audience. We dive into the concept of "Social First" marketing, why personal profiles are outperforming company pages, and the data-backed reasons why consistency wins over viral hacks. If you have been struggling to make sense of LinkedIn or want to know where to focus your energy in 2026, this episode is absolute gold.   Key Takeaways: The "Social First" Approach: Marketing has shifted; social media teams are now the closest to the customer and should be leading the wider marketing strategy, rather than just being a distribution channel at the end of the process. The 95-5 Rule: Research from the B2B Institute shows that 95% of your potential buyers are not in the market to buy right now. Your marketing job is not just to convert the 5%, but to build memory structures with the 95% so they think of you when they are ready. LinkedIn is the place to be: Andy wagers that LinkedIn is currently the best platform for organic reach and precise audience targeting, especially for B2B and service-based businesses. Zero-Click Content: Social platforms no longer want you to link out to your website. The best performing content (like PDF carousels on LinkedIn) keeps people on the platform and increases "dwell time." Employee Advocacy is vital: People trust people more than brands. The most effective way to grow a company's reach is through the personal profiles of its founders and employees, not just the brand page.   Episode Highlights: 02:15 – Andy shares his journey from founding ContentCal to its acquisition by Adobe and his current role. 06:50 – What "Social 3.0" means and why social media needs to move from the "kids' table" to the boardroom. 12:44 – The "95-5 Rule": Why most marketing fails because it ignores the 95% of people who aren't ready to buy yet. 18:41 – A LinkedIn Masterclass: Andy breaks down exactly why LinkedIn is working so well right now. 26:24 – Understanding "Zero-Click Content" and why PDF carousels are generating huge reach. 36:12 – The importance of video and how to repurpose podcast clips for LinkedIn and YouTube Shorts.   About The Guest: Andy Lambert is the Senior Product Marketing Manager at Adobe and a founding member of ContentCal, a social media marketing software that was acquired by Adobe. He is also the author of the book Social 3.0, which explores the future of social media marketing. With over a decade of experience in the industry, Andy is passionate about helping businesses understand the power of a social-first strategy.

Thanks to our Partners, Pico Technology and AutelWatch Full Video EpisodeA random YouTube Shorts interview turns into a surprisingly sharp lesson in leadership. Matt shares a story from Rob McElhenney about working with Danny DeVito—and how DeVito's humility and audience-awareness reveal something shop owners and managers can use immediately: collaboration beats ego, and if you want to reach a demographic (customers or employees), you'd better listen to them. Process matters. Culture matters. And the best people in any field tend to be the most open to input.Matt talks about:Rob McElhenney (It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Wrexham co-owner, Ryan Reynolds connection)Working with Danny DeVito (also Taxi, Twins)The key moment: DeVito asks Rob what to say during an improv gap because:DeVito knows what's funny to his generationBut Rob knows what's funny to the target audienceSo DeVito wants direction to serve the project, not his egoThe Big TakeawaysProcess matters more than outcomeThe “how” shapes culture, quality, retention, and long-term success.Great collaboration can be surprising—but it shouldn't beEven top-tier people can be genuinely curious about your perspective.If you're targeting a demographic, listen to that demographicMarketing, messaging, shop vibe, even hiring… all improve when you seek input from the group you want to attract.Openness is a leadership signalApproachable leadership reduces fear of dismissal/condescension and increases idea-sharing.Ego-check is good business“What's best for the shop?” beats “what do I prefer?”Retention + recruiting bonusWhen employees feel heard and respected, they stay—and they tell others.Memorable Lines“You hired me to be the old guy… but you're not going for my generation.”“Be a leader, not a dictator.”“Lesson number one: pay attention to YouTube Shorts… don't just mindlessly scroll.”Thanks to our Partner, Pico...

In this episode, we break down the composition of the Neo-Assyrian Army under the Sargonid dynasty (Tiglath-Pileser III, Sargon II, and their successors) and explain why Assyria's battlefield dominance in the 8th–7th centuries BCE was not just “more men” or “more brutality,” but a specific military system built around logistics, organization, and a flexible combined-arms force.You'll learn what the core Assyrian infantryman looked like in practice: a general-purpose soldier equipped for multiple battlefield roles (spear, sword, bow, and shield), and why that versatility mattered for campaigns, garrisons, policing, construction, and sieges. We also examine how Assyrian military service worked, including seasonal call-ups, corvée-style obligations, land-grant service (ilkum), and the expectation of plunder—structures that helped sustain long campaigns without a fully modern “paid army” model.From there, we move to the elite infantry (often associated with the royal guard) and the implications of lamellar armor in the Near Eastern heat. Armor, discipline, conditioning, and unit performance are treated as connected variables, not isolated trivia. We then reconstruct the iconic Assyrian shield-wall-and-archer system: tower shields, spear line behavior, the archer line directly behind the shields, and how this formation changes the psychology of spear-range fighting by making “safe distance” impossible.The episode also covers the auxiliary/light infantry contingents organized along ethnic lines across the Assyrian Empire—why they were valued, how unit cohesion and veterancy can create tactical flexibility, and how these forces complemented the main line. Finally, we examine mounted forces during the Sargonid period: the maturation of true cavalry, the decline of chariotry into more limited roles, early spear cavalry, horse archery, equipment constraints before saddles and widespread horse armor, and how Assyria used mobility to exploit gaps, pursue breaks, and keep operational tempo high.If you are interested in ancient warfare, the Bronze Age collapse aftermath, Neo-Assyrian history, Near Eastern military organization, imperial logistics, siege warfare, and the military reforms that shaped the ancient world, this episode is a deep, practical reconstruction grounded in how armies actually functioned on campaign and in battle.Key topics and terms for search: Neo-Assyrian Empire, Sargon II, Sargonids, Tiglath-Pileser III, Sennacherib, Assyrian army, Assyrian infantry, Assyrian royal guard, lamellar armor, scale armor, tower shields, shield wall, Assyrian archers, composite recurve bow, ancient logistics, corvée labor, ilkum land grants, plunder economy, auxiliary troops, Itu'eans, Arameans, Hittites, Elamites, Urartu, cavalry origins, chariots to cavalry transition, combined arms in antiquity, ancient battle tactics, Near East military history, 8th century BCE, 7th century BCE.Next episode preview: the campaign of 714 BCE against Urartu—one of the best documented operations of the ancient world, including intelligence, logistics, and royal correspondence.I am also doing daily history facts again, at least until I run out of time again.

DAMIONMLK Day:Incoming Walmart CEO John Furner:Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy reminds us blahblahblah. During our annual MLK Day Celebration, we reflected on blahblahblah. We care for people. Blahblahblah We strive to be honest, fair, and courageous. And we put others first in the work we do to help people live better.When we lead with care, show respect and do what's right, we honor Dr. King's legacy through action and continue building a Walmart that reflects our purpose and values.Walmart: $27,408,854, the fiscal 2025 annual total compensation of our median associate was $29,469, and the ratio of these amounts was 930:1.By 11:14 AM: He has earned $29,469 (the median worker's entire year of labor).Total Earnings by MLK Day: ~$1,425,000That $1.4 million is equivalent to the lifetime earnings of 48 median Walmart associates (assuming each works for one year at $29,469)As of January 20, 2026, the combined net worth of the Walton family has reached a historic $513.4 billion, according to the latest Bloomberg and Forbes data.As of January 2026, the Walton family collectively receives approximately $3.4 billion per year in dividends from Walmart.Per Day: The family earns roughly $9.27 million every day just by owning the stock.Per Hour: They earn about $386,000 per hour, 24 hours a day.King was literally campaigning for a living wage in Memphis when he was shot by the FBI. your move, walmart CEO John Furner WHO DO YOU BLAME?WestJet reverses cramped seating layout after viral videos show passengers' knees pressed against seats.In the reconfigured layout, which rolled out in late October on select Boeing 737s, space between rows was reduced to 28 inches to accommodate an extra row of seats. WestJet also made economy class seats non-reclinable, offering passengers the option to pay extra for adjustable seats.In a news statement, the company said it will reverse what it called the "densified seating" by removing the additional row of seats.WHO DO YOU BLAME?Samantha (Sam) Taylor was appointed WestJet Group Executive Vice-President and Chief Experience Officer March 2025. Sam joined Sunwing in March 2020 as Chief Marketing Officer. Sam's portfolio is accountable for critical touch points in the guest journey and includes leading all Marketing, Guest Experience and Contact Centres for WestJet and Sunwing Vacations. MMStakeholders!Customers: WestJet's rollout of the reconfigured seats has sparked widespread outrage among travelers and even crew members.Employees: Reuters reported that pilots and flight attendants have raised concerns over the new configuration's comfort and safety, specifically whether passengers could safely evacuate the plane in an emergency due to the confined seating.Journalists: Reuters reported that pilots and flight attendants have raised concerns over the new configuration's comfort and safety, specifically whether passengers could safely evacuate the plane in an emergency due to the confined seating.Labor Unions: Alia Hussain, president of the union local representing WestJet cabin personnel, said: "It created a hostile working environment for us as cabin personnel."Onex Corporation, WestJet's publicly traded ownersWhich is really founder and board Chair Gerry Schwartz (annual Chair fee of $1 million), who maintains 100% control of the Multiple Voting Shares (MVS) of Onex Corporation, which effectively grants him 60% of the total voting power in the company.This control allows him to elect 60% of the members of Onex's Board of Directors. While he also personally holds a significant portion of the Subordinate Voting Shares (SVS)—roughly 11.3% as of late 2024—the primary mechanism of his control is the MVS class.All stupid U.S. dual class dictatorships who do not do this!!The "Sunset" Provision: In May 2023, Onex shareholders approved a plan to implement a "sunset" on these special voting rights. Under this agreement, Schwartz's multiple voting rights are scheduled to expire three years after the effective date of the amendment (roughly May 2026).Current Status: As we are currently in early 2026, Schwartz remains the controlling shareholder. Upon the "Event of Change" later this year, the Multiple Voting Shares will convert into Subordinate Voting Shares, and he will lose his absolute control, shifting the company toward a more traditional governance structure.Matt Damon says Netflix wants to make action movies differently to account for shorter attention spansHow the art of filmmaking is being subvertedThe "Say What You Do" Rule: Writers are frequently being told to eliminate subtext. In traditional filmmaking, if a character is sad, you show them staring at a cold cup of coffee. Now, streamers often request that the character explicitly say, "I'm just so sad right now," or have another character ask, "Why are you so sad?"The Reason: If you are looking at your phone during a silent, emotional shot, you miss the story. If the character says it out loud, you can follow the plot without looking at the screen.Heightened Audio Cues: If you've noticed that modern movies have very aggressive sound design—sudden loud bangs, dramatic musical stings, or high-pitched notification-like sounds—it's often intentional.The "Audio Hook": These sounds act like a "ping" to pull your eyes back from your phone to the TV. It's a literal alarm clock for your attention.The "First 10 Minutes" Mandate: In the past, a movie could have a "slow burn" opening (think 2001: A Space Odyssey). Today, Netflix and other streamers use data that shows exactly when a user hits the "Back" button.The Note: Writers are told that a "major event" (an explosion, a death, or a massive hook) must happen within the first 2 to 5 minutes. If the "inciting incident" happens at the 20-minute mark, the data shows they will lose 30% of the audience to TikTok.Centered Framing: Cinematographers are increasingly being told to keep the "important" action in the center of the frame.The Reason: This makes the content easier to view on a mobile device if the user decides to switch from the TV to their phone, or if they are watching a cropped "clip" of the movie on social media later.Increased "Recapping": Have you noticed characters summarizing what just happened more often?The "TikTok Brain" Fix: Because people are multitasking, they often lose the thread of the plot. Streamers now encourage dialogue like, "So, let me get this straight, we have to get the key from the vault before the guard returns in five minutes?" It's a recap for someone who tuned out for the last three minutes.WHO DO YOU BLAME?Netflix: Ted Sarandos & Greg Peters (Co-CEOs of Netflix), Reed Hastings, Jay HoagDrug CEOs (re: The Algorithm): Passive Viewing: Data shows that up to 94% of people use a phone while watching TV.TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew: TikTok is widely considered the pioneer of the "Short-Form Video" era. Its algorithm is specifically designed to provide "intermittent reinforcement" (like a slot machine), which studies suggest can reduce the ability to focus on long-term tasks.Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg: Zuckerberg pivoted Facebook and Instagram (Reels) to aggressively compete with TikTok. Critics argue this transition turned a platform for connection into one of "passive scrolling" that further erodes focus.YouTube CEO Neal Mohan: Under his leadership, YouTube Shorts was launched to capture the short-attention-span market. Even YouTube co-founder Steve Chen has recently warned that these short videos are "shrinking kids' attention spans."Smartphones: Former Apple CEO Steve Jobs MMStanford: The "Father of Persuasive Tech": B.J. FoggStanford's Persuasive Technology Lab, run by B.J. Fogg, taught many of the founders and early employees of Instagram and Facebook.The "Fogg Behavior Model" taught engineers how to use "triggers" and "rewards" to change human behavior through software. He provided the scientific framework that allowed tech companies to treat the human brain like hardware that could be "hacked" for maximum engagement.Trump calls NYSE Dallas expansion plans 'unbelievably bad' for New York: Trump says move poses 'big test' for newly inaugurated Mayor Zohran Mamdani. WHICH HYPOCRISY DO YOU BLAME?The Free Market BullshitTrump and Texas leaders have long championed the freedom of businesses to flee blue-state regulations. However, now that a prestigious icon like the NYSE is actually expanding to Dallas, Trump has pivoted to calling it "unbelievably bad" for New York.The Anti-Woke /Anti-ESG scaremongeringTexas frames itself as a "Sanctuary from Socialism," yet the Texas Stock Exchange (TXSE) is being used to bypass ESG transparency. While railing against woke mandates, these leaders are creating their own ideological silos—demanding a protected market where management isn't held accountable by shareholders for social or environmental impacts.Texas AG Ken Paxton described BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard as an "investment cartel" that was "illegally controlling national energy markets" and "squeezing more money out of hardworking Americans."Paxton sent a formal warning to Larry Fink and other CEOs, stating that their "radical environmental policies" and "race-based quotas" (DEI) would face severe enforcement actions if they prioritized "politics over consumers."Lead by example: Trump quits NYC and Musk's Dexit to Y'all StreetThroughout his 2024 campaign, Trump consistently compared New York unfavorably to states like Florida and Texas: as an example, he pointed to the lack of state income tax in Florida as a reason why "everyone is leaving New York." Elon Musk's Dexit from Delaware/California is sold as a strike for freedom, yet his empire is built on nearly $40 billion in government subsidies and contracts. He moved to Texas to escape over-regulation (re: his pay package and people being mad about nooses in his factories) while simultaneously heading the most over-regulatory body ever: Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).Leader name calling and scaremongeringTrump's pre-bromance attacks on New York's new mayor, Zohran Mamdani (communist lunatic" and a "Marxist"). Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson (UPenn, Harvard, Princeton): "un-American socialist impulse" and explicitly marketed Dallas as a "sanctuary from socialism" for businesses looking to Dexit New York. The Elite vs. Common Man NonsenseDespite bullshit Y'all Street populist framing, the Texas Stock Exchange is backed by the world's most powerful financial titans. There is no common man victory here; it is the CEO class moving the financial capital to a jurisdiction with fewer labor protections and less oversight.The Big Four Anchor InvestorsBlackRock: (managing ~$14 trillion), despite being the primary target of "anti-woke" and anti-ESG rhetoric from the same politicians who support the TXSE.Citadel Securities: Led by Ken Griffin, this firm executes roughly 1 in 4 of all stock trades in the U.S. Left Chicago for Miami.J.P.

Look, for example, at quantitative and systematic managers, who often operate models that merely seek exposures to identified sources of alpha.”Index investors: “But it may be appropriate for these categories of investment advisers (and the Boards that exercise oversight over this function) to consider whether taking positions on fundamental corporate matters, or on precatory proposals, is consistent with their investment mandates.”Hedging himself: “So, there is no stock answer to the “Must I vote?” question... Instead, it is important that advisers and clients have a fair amount of latitude to decide what works in their individual cases.”Threatening using proxy advisors: “And if we are raising issues for consideration, I will also mention, because the President did, that there is real concern out there that habitual adherence to a proxy consultant's recommendations could pull an adviser into a Section 13(d) group.”Investors, because no matter what Brian Daly suggests, investors almost never vote against management and neither do proxy advisors, so what the fuck are we talking about?Cost, because Daly points out, “And in assessing proposed votes, investment advisers might utilize the Fiduciary Interpretation's concept of a “reasonable inquiry into the client's objectives.” If an investment adviser routinely follows a proxy advisor's stock recommendations without a tailored engagement or independent analysis, is this “reasonable inquiry?” Maybe, but it is certainly worth thinking about. And, to go back to the first question, if the voting process is so burdensome that it requires extensive external resources, why is the adviser voting at all?”John Chevedden, along with Jim McRitchie, without whom we have maybe half the shareholder rights as SP500 companies, and who the no-action data is now showing is disproportionately getting responses for exclusion from the SEC (as if to double down on the idea that we can ignore those commie socialists entirely, but we want to tell you explicitly you're totally legally cool and there's no threat if you exclude Chevedden). Chevedden might be the reason investors were voting at all - maybe now they won't have to?

In this episode of Oldest Stories, we step back from the famous conquests of the Neo-Assyrian Empire to ask a more fundamental question: what did ancient warfare actually look like on the ground, and how did the Assyrian army emerge from thousands of years of evolving combat traditions? Focusing on the world that produced the Sargonid military system, this episode examines the deep origins of organized warfare in Mesopotamia, from tribal raiding and Bronze Age spear lines to the psychological mechanics of close-order combat.Rather than starting with siege engines, cavalry, or elite archers, this episode explores the forgotten core of ancient war: spear and shield formations, skirmishers, early missile troops, and the human fear dynamics that governed how battles were fought long before gunpowder. Drawing on archaeology, art, and written sources, it traces how stone-age raiding gave way to Bronze Age mass formations, how copper and bronze transformed lethality, and why settled societies developed fundamentally different military solutions than nomadic peoples.The episode also explores why chariots dominated the Near East for centuries, how massed missile fire and mobility eventually broke their supremacy, and why the Iron Age battlefield became increasingly archer-centric. Along the way, it challenges modern assumptions shaped by reenactment, popular media, and strategy games, and argues that much of what we think we know about ancient melee combat is far more uncertain than commonly admitted.By the time Sargon II inherits the Assyrian throne, the Near East is saturated with every major pre-gunpowder warfare paradigm at once: tribal raiding, mass infantry lines, chariot elites, archers, cavalry, and logistical warfare. This episode sets the stage for understanding why the Neo-Assyrian army was not simply brutal or technologically advanced, but uniquely adapted to a specific and highly complex threat environment.This is the first part of a multi-episode exploration of the Assyrian military system, laying the conceptual and historical groundwork for a detailed examination of how the Sargonid army actually functioned in battle. If you are interested in ancient warfare, Assyrian history, Bronze and Iron Age combat, or the realities behind spear and shield fighting, this episode provides essential context.I am also doing daily history facts again, at least until I run out of time again.
