Mike Henry shared thisExcellent take here from Suzanne Vranica at The Wall Street Journal on how advertising may evolve into the genAI ecosystem. I believe it will be more of a side-door: using AI to power creative and targeting (like FB); using data you give an LLM to power marketing outside your chatbot; or maybe more intrusively if you want added power/features but don't want to pay for them. Here, Anthropic is staking out the high road, and focusing on business users, while taking a jab at anyone (OpenAI) who might think there's a blunt revenue instrument to be built. (Oh, also, Claude took our a TRILLION in software/data market cap so far this week, so, yeah, business users.) https://lnkd.in/ezF3j2JxExclusive | Anthropic Takes Aim at OpenAI’s ChatGPT in Super Bowl Ad DebutExclusive | Anthropic Takes Aim at OpenAI’s ChatGPT in Super Bowl Ad Debut

Mike Henry shared thisGen Z is increasingly finding purpose in teaching roles. Have a read...Mike Henry shared thisTeach For America has experienced a 43% increase in incoming corps members over the past three years. We aren’t alone in attracting determined young leaders driven to make a difference. The Guardian spoke with Gen Z teachers across the country to find out why they’re choosing teaching. The common theme: a desire for community, a purpose-driven career, and the chance to have a real impact on students’ lives. Gen Z is “responding to the opportunity for purpose and responsibility at a time where many entry jobs feel uncertain or disconnected from impact”, shares TFA’s chief growth and program officer Whitney Petersmeyer. 📰Read more about why the classroom is where more and more young leaders are choosing to start and grow their careers: https://lnkd.in/gfztfgcvImpact over income: a striking number of gen Zers are becoming teachersImpact over income: a striking number of gen Zers are becoming teachers

Mike Henry shared thisgreat company...Mike Henry shared thisCool job alert! Private AI is looking for a Product Manager. Here’s why that’s interesting: This isn’t a “put out fires and write specs all day” kind of role. Private AI is setting the pace for how companies handle sensitive data with AI with deep differentiated technology, and tons of live real world use cases. You’ll be at the center of it: - Working side-by-side with engineers who are sharp and fast - Collaborating with business leads who know what it takes to ship - Owning a product already trusted by major global brands If you want to build something that actually changes how companies use data and AI, this is your shot. Curious? More details and apply below.

Hi Mark, truly applaud the effort and it's hard not to be inspired by the personal involvement. And of course hoping for the best for the patient. Also hoping that you could comment on the idea of reaching out to the CEO of the employer as a mechanism for change. Is this a one-off effort because you became aware of an unfair situation or is engaging CEOs about their insurance reality a strategy to attack the system and companies that would let it happen?

Mike Henry reacted on thisMike Henry reacted on thisIf you're a MarTech or AdTech founder and Marketecture Live isn't on your radar yet, it should be. Today I joined Ari Paparo and Eric Franchi on the Marketecture Media Podcast. We talked about the $128B measurement gap in experiential marketing, why the industry is at an inflection point, and what it actually takes to build a standard from scratch. There was one question we didn't get to on the episode. Should marketers own their own experiences? My answer is a resounding yes. That's what this video is about. 🎙️ Full episode — link in comments. #ExperientialMarketing #CrowdAxis #MarketectureLive #FounderLife #Marketecture #ExperientialPowerIndex

Mike Henry liked thisMike Henry liked thisSome fun news on the professional front: I recently joined the MrBeast team as Chief Communications Officer! Over the past several weeks, I’ve had the chance to dive in with Jeffrey Housenbold, Jimmy Donaldson, and the Beast Industries team and see firsthand the boundless creativity and care that goes into everything we do. Whether it’s creating killer content, producing quality (and seriously tasty) Feastables snacks, or driving long-term global impact through Beast Philanthropy, it’s clear everyone at Beast is obsessed with telling great stories and making a positive difference in people’s lives. That energy is palpable the moment you walk through the doors. Next up: rolling up my sleeves as we expand into new content verticals, consumer products, and services. (And, of course, consuming as many Feastables Creamy Peanut Butter Eggs as humanly possible…).

Mike Henry liked thisMike Henry liked thisI had the opportunity to reflect on the incredible women who have shaped my media career—and Jessica Brown is absolutely one of them. ❤️ For nearly 20 years, we’ve often found ourselves on opposite sides of a negotiation, representing different priorities, working toward the right solution, and navigating what it takes to get there. We’ve been part of big wins, tough conversations, and everything in between. Along the way, we’ve built a friendship I truly value. We recently sat down to discuss that journey and what we’ve learned from each other over two decades. One thing that’s remained constant is a deep level of respect and the understanding that you can be competitive, hold your ground, and still show up with generosity.

Mike Henry liked thisDr. Wendy once again helps change peoples lives by listening, empathizing and then providing knowledge to them about sleep. Spend 45 seconds reading her post. It’s worth it. Well-done Wendy.Mike Henry liked thisThere’s something powerful about gathering with a group of people who are all seeking the same thing: better sleep. I recently had the privilege of leading a Sleep Retreat at Canyon Ranch in Tucson, AZ—and the experience left me both inspired and deeply grateful. The need for better sleep has never been greater. Nearly 1 in 3 adults experience symptoms of insomnia, and an estimated 25–30 million adults in the U.S. suffer from sleep apnea, many of whom remain undiagnosed. These numbers remind me how critical it is to bring sleep science out of the lab and into people’s everyday lives. One topic that really resonated during the retreat was sleep shaming. At one point, an attendee became emotional as she shared how her family often berates her for being the last one up—criticizing her for not being able to join early morning activities at home or while traveling. You could feel the room shift. So many people quietly related to that experience. There was a palpable sense of relief when I explained that chronotypes are about 50% genetically driven. In other words, whether you’re a “morning lark” or a “night owl” isn’t simply a matter of willpower—it’s largely biology. Over the course of the retreat, we also dove into many of the questions people are asking right now about sleep: • Supplements—what may help and what may not • Melatonin—what it is and what it isn’t • Strategies for those maddening 3 a.m. awakenings • And how to use (and not misuse) sleep tracking data Moments like these are why I do this work. Helping people replace frustration and self-blame with understanding, evidence-based tools, and hope is incredibly meaningful. I’m so grateful to the Canyon Ranch team for creating such a beautiful space for learning, reflection, and restoration—and for the opportunity to help people reclaim one of the most powerful foundations of health. Because when we understand our sleep, we can finally start improving it. #SleepHealth #Insomnia #SleepApnea #Chronotypes #CanyonRanch
