  • How to Stand Out in a Crowd
    Aug 28 2025

    Why listen? Because your brand is already speaking for you whether you’ve built it intentionally or not. This episode gives you the tools to take control, stand out in your career, and open doors that skills alone can’t.

    Ever feel like you’re just blending in at work, in business, or even in everyday life? In this episode of Serving Up Success with a Splash, hosts Angie Snowball and Bruce Cramer reveal how to build a personal brand that makes you memorable for all the right reasons.

    With a French 75 in hand (elegant, bold, and unforgettable just like your brand should be) they break down how to:

    • Clarify your values so people know exactly what you stand for.

    • Define your “three words,” the ones you want and don’t want others to use about you.

    • Use tools like LinkedIn to tell your story authentically, not just list job titles.

    • Translate your brand into business and leadership, where your reputation becomes your greatest asset.

    • Avoid common pitfalls that weaken your brand (like inconsistent messaging or misusing social platforms).

    Cocktail of the Week: The French 75

    Ingredients

    • 1 oz (30 ml) gin (some variations use cognac)

    • 1/2 oz (15 ml) fresh lemon juice

    • 1/2 oz (15 ml) simple syrup

    • 3 oz (90 ml) chilled champagne (or other dry sparkling wine)

    • Garnish: Lemon twist

    Instructions

    1. Add gin, lemon juice, and simple syrup into a cocktail shaker with ice.

    2. Shake until well chilled.

    3. Strain into a chilled flute or coupe glass.

  • AI, the Economy & You
    Aug 21 2025

    Because AI isn’t just a tech story, it’s an economic story, a jobs story, and your story. In one hour, you’ll gain the clarity to understand where the economy is heading, the foresight to adapt your skills, and the confidence to navigate an AI-driven future. Whether you’re a business owner, leader, or lifelong learner, this is your front-row seat to the economic revolution already underway.

    In this thought-provoking episode of Serving Up Success with a Splash, we’re joined by a very special guest, Dr. Paul Isely, Associate Dean at the Seidman College of Business, Grand Valley State University, and one of the most respected economic voices in the country. Featured on Marketplace on NPR, USA Today, AP, Financial Times, and the BBC, Dr. Isely is known for turning complex economic trends into clear, actionable insights.

    Together, we’ll explore how Artificial Intelligence is reshaping economic growth, revolutionizing the job market, transforming the skills you need to thrive, and disrupting industries in ways few people are prepared for. From the hidden risks of “single points of failure” to how AI could change the way we think and make decisions, this conversation will be your wake-up call and your roadmap for the future of work and business.
