Think & Link by Capsule

In this episode, we have the iconic David Rubin, Chief Marketing Officer of The New York Times. Yes, that little known publisher has agreed to grace our show. David’s only requirement was a pairing with a legend in marketing Fernando Machado, the former Chief Marketing Officer of Burger King and Activision Blizzard. Fernando and David will be talking about digital transformation, returning vibrancy to experienced brands and the role design has played.

In this episode we cover retail, design and the arts, a trio of subjects delivered perfectly by this duo of founders. We have Megan Tamte, founder of EVEREVE and Mercedes Austin, founder of Mercury Mosaics on the show, just in time for some Black Friday retail therapy blended with art and design.
If you’re at all interested in a creative model of retail growth, designed by Megan, this will be a great listen. And, if you have any affection for handcrafted, beautiful works of art and the adventurous world of entrepreneurship, Mercedes is certainly an inspiration. Enjoy the conversation. 

In this episode we explore leadership and culture, the flour and water in a recipe for an exceptional organization. 
We have the pleasure of welcoming our client from Zurich, Switzerland based venture, Katadyn and Shawn Hostetter, who led the North American organization and delivered amazing results with our Capsule team. Shawn is paired with DeAnna Murphy, an organizational development leader at People Acuity. 

In this episode, we show our love for product and experience design. Angie Tebbe of Rae Wellness and Kate Lubenesky of W&P are two amazing entrepreneurs who have used design to improve the little things in our lives.  And, by little, we don’t mean unimportant.  In fact, these bits of how we live make a big impact on how we thrive. We hope you’ll see why we admire these two founders for their contributions to the design and entrepreneurial community.

In this episode we are taking the Think & Link discussion to intellectual curiosities born of blending science and design. We thought of no two better representatives than Eric Quint of 3M Design, paired with the co-director of Science House, Rita J. King. In her words, Science House is a cathedral of the imagination in Manhattan focused on the art and science of doing business. Eric is the former head of design at 3M and the author of Design Leadership Ignited: Elevating Design at Scale. If this isn’t a pairing as good as peanut butter and jelly, then we ask, what is?

In this episode we are excited to have Amanda Brinkman of Sunshine Studios and Lisa Armstrong formerly of Resideo on the podcast. Amanda started the show Small Business Revolution while helping all of us question why we can’t do more good while doing well. Lisa has led marketing in large technical organizations, earning herself icon status in our community. 
We cover some very interesting topics with this pair of dynamic marketing and creative minds. We chat about the design of culture, creativity inside organizations and marketing innovation. 

On our stage we have former client, Dan Buettner of Blue Zones and our friend Scott Lien of GrandPad. Dan is a researcher, author, Netflix special host and Founder of Blue Zones, a company studying and implementing evidence-based ways to help people live longer and better. Scott is the Co-Founder of GrandPad, a technology company reshaping the way seniors connect with their loved ones.Together, our two guests discuss how to live a vibrant and long life, exploring the importance of our relationships and daily choices, and how they can impact our lifespan and quality of life.

In today's episode, we have a representative from FabFitFun, Ryan Waymire, on the Think & Link podcast to talk about what they are seeing. Along with Ryan we have Kara Goldin, the founder of Hint Water and the only person we know who has had a drink with Maria Shriver. We’ll be talking about women in entrepreneurship and what the near future looks like through their lenses.
