Picture this: You’re walking with your favorite wireless headphones on, blasting your latest hyperfixation song. It’s approaching the scream-worthy bridge that somehow gets better and better with every listen. The melody picks up, the instrumentation swells, maybe the beat drops and then –Nothing. The sounds cuts out to silence, and you’re left totally and completely exasperated about what could have possibly interrupted your jam. This happened to me on an evening walk this week and annoyed me to my core. For me, one of the most frustrating things is when my wireless headphones cut out mid-song or mid-call. One second I’m vibing,…
On episode 334 of PPC Live The Podcast, I speak to Sophie Fell Head of Paid Media at Liberty Marketing Group about a real PPC mistake involving location targeting. The conversation focuses on how small oversights can have big consequences—and how to recover from them professionally.

Let’s be honest, sending Christmas cards is not a fun holiday task. It’s time-consuming and can even be pretty expensive. Using AI to generate a Christmas card “from scratch” is tempting, but it’s a sure-fire way to end up in my trash bin. There have been many attempts to modernize the practice of sending Christmas cards. Who among us hasn’t received a nightmarish JibJab video with your face plastered on a dancing reindeer? AI is an entirely different beast, though. There may be some situations when it’s genuinely useful, but Christmas cards should not be one of them. No one…
Why Make This These angel bars require just two ingredients and minimal prep for a quick dessert.Using a jelly roll pan ensures a custardy texture and prevents overly fluffy results.The bars are light, tangy, and have hints of almond flavor from the angel food cake mix. Growing up, I was always the kid you wanted to share a bag of candy with because I only wanted the lemon, unlike the other kids who would beg for your strawberry or cherry-flavored pieces. In my opinion, lemon is the best all-around flavor, not just for candy but desserts and savory dishes too.…

Most of us don’t enjoy committing crime ourselves, but we do love watching other people do it on TV. And while shows about fictional crimes and detectives are fun, there’s something especially alluring about true crime. These are shows about real-life people who actually stepped outside the bounds of the law, and more often than not paid the price. It gets you thinking about who in your life might be willing to step over that thin line separating order from chaos, or if you could do it yourself. But best not spend too much time dwelling on that. Instead, you…
