Carly, George, and Dan are joined by Berklee College of Music student Adam Saah. Adam recently wrote two articles on the B-Certification process (To "B" or Not To "B" and To Care More) and has been helping GHStrategic (George's consulting firm) become B-certified. The group discusses what that process has been like and how ethics can be a competitive advantage.

Comedians' works are streamed and broadcast across Spotify, YouTube, Pandora, SiriusXM, and more. However, unlike music where royalties are paid for two copyrights (composition and master recording), Comedians have only ever been paid royalties on the recording of their performance, not on the underlying literary work (equivalent of a composition). Jeff Price, founder of Word Collections and previous founder of Tunecore, Audiam, and more is setting out to fix that by helping comedians license and collect royalties owed to them for their unlicensed literary works.

Misogyny is everywhere, including the E&A community.

They’re also saying goodbye to Slack. Carly has a new podcast (don’t worry, she will not be leaving E&A).

In true George, Dan and Carly fashion, things get started with the smell of Scholastic book fairs and taxi cabs (aka Carly’s new favorite adjective: redolent), before diving in to data. The three get into how the new Apple updates will impact data collection, privacy, and the customization of different tools, and what this means for both companies and consumers. Data leads to NFTs, the Most Passionate Percentile, and marketing theatre. Dan makes a sandwich.

Carly, Dan and George look back at the year and have compiled their collective top three things for different categories. If you ask George, which no one did, 2020 was the year of reflection, of getting to it, of George’s confusion, of not making much money, of pleasure, of notebooks, of sourdough, of the ‘gram, of disintermediation, a year like no other, of Zoom, of joy, the year TV and movies really came into their own, of consistency as a KPI, of One Direction, the year we learned that rules are meant to be broken, the year people loved the internet, of pour over coffee, and—drumroll please for Dan’s contribution—the year of the rundle. (You’re welcome, Josef)
