Leadership lessons from 12 year olds at a concert: 1. Always have a buddy. Don’t go alone anywhere in the venue or life. It’s more fun to be with someone and you never know what dangers are out there. 2. When circumstances are challenging, get creative. We waited outside in the cold Kansas weather for 90 minutes. Playing games helped pass the time when it felt like it was going to be FOREVER. 3. Eat the snacks. Half the fun in life is the extras along the way- the popcorn and pretzels at concerts or the time with family and friends in life. 4. Police up your area. Before we left the venue, we picked up all our trash. In life, we can’t leave our messes for others to clean up. We have to police our own area. Such good lessons to learn!

Will I subscribe? Maybe. With my family's love for Survivor, it's a possibility. But at $30 million for a two-minute slot, plus production costs, I wonder: How many subscribers does Paramount+ need to justify its ROAS?   As an Arnold Schwarzenegger fan, the State Farm “neigh-baa” ad was fun. A smart move compared to their previous campaign with Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. As a Raiders fan, I cringed at those ads all season. I bet fans of the other 31 teams felt the same. Yet, State Farm persisted. I don’t get it. What's your take on their strategy?   Kudos to Usher for his halftime show. No paycheck needed, just exposure, please. Last year, per Forbes, Rihanna's music sales spiked 300%+ due to her halftime performance. Now, that's marketing savvy.   On the flip side, after a decade, Pepsi's Super Bowl halftime sponsorship has been passed on to Apple Music. With broadcast TV on the decline, Pepsi's move into the digital space makes sense. Targeting Gen Z? Follow the digital trail. That, too, is smart marketing.

People are impressed by awards. At the very least many believe someone must be good at something if they have won an award! However, many of the awards in the consumer and business worlds are not as they may first appear. Perhaps the most aggressive and well-known of the *Iffy* corporate awards schemes in the UK are The "Prestige Awards". They work hard to break away from this image and have plenty of keen buyers who are happy to take the wins and fight their side, but a "vanity scam" of "pay to win" awards is still what it is. That said, I think the word "scam" is a bit of a misnomer. These "pay to win" awards are clearly now part of today's (almost) accepted fake-it-till-you-make-it world. If there's a scam being run there, it's not by those who sell the awards, so much as by those who pay for the award package and pretend that it means something. Having just been through the film festival application process and circuit I am more than aware that there is a whole series of fake or dodgy festivals out there. I reckon 50% of the festivals on there are simply running to raise money for their organizers and don't give a toss for the #filmmakers. Some don't run at all, but just pretend to. A good chunk of them are clearly "pay to win" with individual categories in such a multitude that you can more or less buy your way into extremely high odds of winning - some of these festivals run as often as once a week! I shit you not... I'll do a show on dodgy film festivals as part of my Film Pro Productivity & Success podcast. I think I managed to avoid them with The Traveller, but the experience of applying for and communicating with festivals was a particularly "scammy" one. With all THAT said, what ESPN has been up to since 1997 is a whole new level of #Crazy!
