Social buying. Everyone and their mama is doing it — or maybe it‘s just me and my family. I’m consistently tagged in posts (thank you, cousin) about adorable gifts, must-have outfits, and the like. Now, I’m a content marketer who knows when I’m being sold to, but even I get lured by social posts with irresistible products. And I know I’m not alone — as of 2024, over 110 million Americans (roughly 42% of internet users) are fellow social buyers. So, if you’re a brand selling products to consumers and you’re not already using social selling, 2024 is a superb…

Photo by OLI SCARFF/AFP via Getty Images This is no laughing matter. A Junior Varsity baseball player in California is claiming it was just a joke, but Rio Rancho police aren’t laughing. A teenage baseball player (whose name has been redacted from reports due to his age) was filmed peeing in an opposing team’s water jug, before returning it to the visiting dugout during a March 25 game between Rio Rancho High School and La Cueva high school. The player told police that it was his responsibility to fill the home and away water jugs prior to the game from…

Last Friday, Elon Musk tweeted a grand unifying theory for America’s path to prosperity. “We need to shift people from low- to negative-productivity jobs in government to high-productivity jobs in manufacturing,” he wrote on X, combining DOGE’s Rapture-style approach to downsizing the federal workforce and the supposed reshoring goals of Trump’s tariffs. Musk is so fond of this theory, in fact, he has tweeted some variation of it at least eight times since November’s election. All that repetition, however, has not yet rendered the logic behind the concept any more sound. Musk’s belief that the DOGE firings will create a…

Most AI teams focus on the wrong things. Here’s a common scene from my consulting work: AI TEAMHere’s our agent architecture—we’ve got RAG here, a router there, and we’re using this new framework for…ME[Holding up my hand to pause the enthusiastic tech lead]Can you show me how you’re measuring if any of this actually works?… Room goes quiet This scene has played out dozens of times over the last two years. Teams invest weeks building complex AI systems but can’t tell me if their changes are helping or hurting. This isn’t surprising. With new tools and frameworks emerging weekly, it’s…

In 2021, I was put in charge of a literary blog’s marketing campaign. The blog was racking up page views, yet none of those visits were turning into product sales. It felt frustrating watching the numbers climb without any real impact. After about three months, I realized that I was chasing a vanity metric (page views) that looked impressive but ultimately did nothing to move the needle. So, I shifted my attention to more meaningful metrics like engagement rate, click-throughs on calls-to-action, and conversion rates from visitors to subscribers/buyers. This required me to tweak the content strategy quite a bit,…

Vice President JD Vance, an Ohio State University alumni, was eager to meet with the Buckeyes football team at the White House on Monday to celebrate the team’s national championship. But he needed those Buckeyes to help him out just a bit after nearly fumbling their large, gold trophy out on the White House lawn. After President Donald Trump, Vance, and head coach Ryan Day said a few words about the accomplishments of the Buckeyes this past college football season, pictures were taken, and the vice president took the opportunity to hoist the College Football Playoff national title trophy.CLICK HERE FOR MORE…

In the 90s, we collected Pokémon cards, in the 2000s, we all had a weird phase with those rubber charity bracelets, and now in 2025, we’re turning our pets into strange human beings with AI.  Progress? Possibly. In the wake of the “Ghibli style” phenomenon that melted OpenAI’s servers and had CEO Sam Altman practically begging people to stop generating images, we’ve hit a new wave of AI crazes taking off on social media.  Your social media feed might now likely be invaded by action figure versions of your friends and humanized versions of their cats. Welcome to 2025.  Make…
