Wenda Millard talks about her new role at Martha Stewart Living, the heady days at Yahoo! as CRO and what it was like to launch the Internet Advertising Industry.
On MSLO: The mission is clear. The brand is vast. Customers are happy.
Wenda talks about the most difficult decisions she wrestles with. They come when there’s tension between advertising and editorial now that she’s responsible for “both sides” of the business. (Hence the funny quote above.)
Hear a terrific story about the state of the art in product integration, also known as branded entertainment with a Dove ProAge sampling program, magazine insert and product integration on Martha’s TV show discussing three generations of beauty. Marketers are pushing more and Wenda knows where to draw the line.
Then Wenda shares the great times at Yahoo! when she took the ad revenue from $730 million to $6.5 billion. Wow. One of the stories involves moving the stock price by eating her own dog food.
The there’s:
Career advice from Wenda:
Wenda also shares the most interesting story of the crazy Internet bubble. Get the DoubleClick famous sales meetings story with Wenda as “Camp Mom.” I’m kinda scared. But her minions were definitely NOT. Hear what they did. Funny, funny, funny.

Jim says ” The podcast guru we all turn to when we need questions answered about our life, job and about love…about everything, about the universe!
The Internet has touched yet another part of my life.
Recently we launched an ad campaign for AccuQuote in 5 of the podcasts on Personal Life Media. Being a good account person, I went through the lead form on AccuQuote’s site to see what my customers’ experience would be if they heard the ad on the podcast and went to the landing page “accuquote.com/save.”
What surprised me was that we were paying waaaay to much for our life insurance policies. We’d had them for years and assumed since we bought them when we were younger, that we would have lower rates.
Wrong!
Because of the competition and transparency of the Internet hubby can double the amount of coverage and halve his annual policy cost - and with brand name insurance companies. He’s had a $250,000 universal life policy and he’s been paying $75 a month. Now he can double his coverage to $500,000 and it will cost him $30 a month! That’s a savings of over $500 a year for twice the payout.
I can now double my coverage from $250,000 to $500,000 for $10 less a month. I started my policy when I was in my early twenties and have paid $35/month for over 25 years now. By converting to AccuQuote I can pay less and double my coverage.
$500 bucks is significant enough for the effort. Times two for a couple, that’s a killer weekend in Napa Valley.
AccuQuote’s form lets you “play” with the data. You can configure the terms, the rate class, the coverage amount and choose from among brand name insurance companies like Prudential, AIG, Transamerica and more.
If you have the time to check it out, let me know what you thought. I had no idea insurance rates had gone down. I thought everything had gone up. This is a nice surprise.
Oh, and if you could click through to our landing page I’d appreciate the consideration. Let me know how much you saved with AccuQuote. accuquote.com/save
And you can call them if you need help. 800 589-0479.

I interviewed Patricia Martin, author of RenGen this week for an upcoming DishyMix episode and told her that her book gave me the idea/power/confidence to approach the Silicon Valley Art Museum about sponsoring them with assets from Personal Life Media.
Here’s the story:
Patricia,
It was wonderful to interview you this week for DishyMix. I want to introduce you to Gregory MacNicol, the Chair of the Silicon Valley Art Museum. After reading RenGen, you inspired me to call Gregory and offered Personal Life Media to be a patron of SVAM.org.
When I launched the company, I targeted the content of Personal Life Media to “cultural creatives.” That was before reading your book. Since then, I’ve come to understand that my customers are VIVIDs - focused on authentic content experiences, beautiful design and the belief in self-actualization. You’ve taken the psychographic profile of the cultural creative to a new level of persona marketing through your research for RenGen and your description of the VIVID cohort.
The 20+ weekly audio and video shows on Personal Life Media are purposefully “anti-mainstream,” created by unique “indie” hosts and the focus is on growth and self-actualization in myriad personal areas. My site is beautifully designed (by Holocosmos) and that is one of the most important aspects of my brand — creating trust and value prior to someone even listening to or watching one of the shows on our network.
Once I understood from RenGen how the power of supporting the arts from a corporate perspective is very in line with VIVID values and that the idea of aligning my business with the arts is of value not just to me, but to my customers at Personal Life Media, I immediately called Gregory. The Silicon Valley Art Museum is a virtual organization (no mortar, just clicks) devoted to showcasing artists who merge technology and art. It’s a perfect parallel in that I am enabling the amazing work of my show hosts to have a global, rather than local voice for their work through the empowering value of a microphone and a digital audio file to deliver their “art.”
I have been a patron of the arts my whole life, buying original works starting in grade school in the late 60’s with my first Jim Dine lithograph. I have a small but delightful collection including an 10′ high Gregory Hawthorne mild steel “Totem” sculpture, a Diego Gravinese diptych amusingly entitled “The Day Michelle Yeoh Saved My Life (and Pichu was Amazed),” multiple abstracts from both Margaret Ross Tolbert and Silvia Poloto, and a custom installation (including a 180′ mounded lawn sculpture — about half a football field…) by Gordon Huether of stainless steel and dichroic glass rods, not to mention a penchant for miniature Southwestern Pueblo pottery.
I love the arts. I love technology. And so does our Personal Life Media audience.
Your book, RenGen, stitched together the power of combining my passions and told me that there are many, many people just like me, seeking a VIVID life.
Gregory MacNicol is a kindred spirit. Providing a forum for artists to gain recognition at the intersection of technology and art. It is my hope to support his organization through the power of my network and the media I can bring to bear on his behalf.
Thank you for your request to hear my continuing story and the impact your book has had on me.
To Art! To Life!
Vividly Yours,
Susan
Eric Maisel, host of two shows on the Personal Life Media network, has a new book out called “The Van Gogh Blues” which deals with the depression often encounted by “creative types.”
In this interview, Eric talks about “Making vs. Finding Meaning” - you don’t need to look for meaning, you should shift toward “making meaning” into your life.
His creativity show helps you become more creative everyday and deal with the issues associated with being creative:
His “meaning” show, Purpose-Centered Life, helps you find meaning in the life you are already living, rather than going outside of yourself to find meaning.
These two shows work very well together or can be enjoyed separately. I hope you’ll tune in to one or both. I enjoy them every week and they add much to my life.
Enjoy!
