Last week, NYT reporter Ana Ley cited Replica on an episode of the The New York Times's The Daily podcast, exploring Governor Hochul's decision to halt congestion pricing in NY, and the resulting impact on the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. Replica analysis helped to shed light on who would be impacted by the now-paused policy (spoiler alert: compared to those who take transit to work in the congestion zone, drivers have an average income 8% higher ($185K vs. $171K) and are much more likely to be white non-hispanic (51% vs. 36%)).

We recorded an emergency episode of The War on Cars yesterday, out now: "Kathy Hochul's Congestion Pricing Flip-Flop Fiasco." We discuss New York State Governor Kathy Hochul’s 11th-hour decision to “indefinitely suspend” congestion pricing, the program that would have charged drivers to enter Manhattan below 60th Street. Her move, announced in a prerecorded video on Wednesday, June 5th, came mere weeks before congestion pricing was set to launch, jeopardizing what was set to be a major funding source for transit and a revolutionary plan to reduce traffic in a way never seen before in the United States. Why did Hochul do this? Is it bad politics or atrociously bad politics? What does this mean for the future of the New York City subway system, commuter rail, accessibility, the environment, the economy and even democracy itself? More importantly, we discuss what you can do if you live or work in the New York metropolitan area and want to see Hochul’s flip flop reversed. We also discuss what effect this could have on cities across the U.S. that might be considering a congestion pricing program of their own. Available wherever you get your podcasts. Thanks to our Patreon supporters for making it possible for us to rush into the studio when news like this breaks. https://lnkd.in/enFRPJbP

The Deauville Express was the train that scandalized Paris. It was launched a century ago to encourage wealthy Parisians to visit the coastal casino playground of Deauville at weekends. The Friday train journey from Paris to Deauville only took an afternoon, so laying on and using the service was relatively easy. But the marketing challenge here was twofold: first, how could they launch more than just a transfer service, but offer an experience as your train left Paris that brought to life the promise of the pleasures of Deauville? And, second, to get Deauville and that afternoon train to be the talk of Paris. And their solution was brilliantly simple. Even though it was only a two hour trip in the afternoon, they added to the seated passenger carriages four additional ones: bookable sleeper carriages, with fold-down beds. The respectable Parisians of the 20s were shocked by the implications of this detail of the train. The newspapers of the day wrote about it. People wanted to know who was booking those Friday afternoon train beds, and who were they taking in them – their spouses or lovers? And Deauville and the train that took you there were suddenly the talk of the town. In this week’s episode of the Let’s Make This More Interesting podcast the fascinating Nick Reed talks about how, if you want to create viral content, two key elements are a very clear headline and a strong emotion – awe, inspiration, laughter, for example – that people want to share. The Deauville Express and the moral outrage it provoked in Paris was years ahead of its time in understanding how to create an emotion that people couldn’t help sharing, in a sense. And all it required was taking something – a sleeping carriage - that would have been perfectly innocent in one context (a night service) and putting it into an entirely different context, one where it dripped with suggestion. Making something more interesting, in other words, doesn’t necessarily mean the drama or communication that you wrap around something. Sometimes it can be as simple as changing its context. Oh and, since it is the festive season, one final question to leave you with: who would you have taken with you in the sleeper on that afternoon train?

Back in LA with a new podcast episode with fellow photog and filmmaker Daniel! He was gracious enough to have me on his Passion Project Podcast and included these isolated moments to whet your appetite. This is a podcast focused on my journey as a Swiss Army photographer/filmmaker/director/producer/editor and what I've done to stay relevant plus other bits of advice, suggestions, and observations surrounding the industry with my experience in it. Some key takeaways: - This was done at the end of Q1, it is now nearing the end of Q2. The media/film/tv/advertising industry has been ROCKED by upheaval not only from the strikes last year, impending ones at the end of this month but also AI, recession, inflation, and a host of other factors that are causing people to pivot, get taken advantage of, or leave these industries altogether. - How being likable is a superpower and not a detriment. - How to thrive as a freelancer in tough times. - Like a GM in a restaurant, why you should try to learn and understand every position on set to know their pain points and help when needed. - Not being limited by the gear you have or don't have...Tell the story. People have asked me A LOT recently "how are things in LA?" Well, uncertain. People ARE working but the circle keeps getting smaller. Work is outsourced to other states with better tax incentives, other countries (South Africa, Canada, Ireland, Eastern EU, etc.) that have cheaper labor. The gatekeepers are building resolve maximizing profits over people. The streaming wars were and are a bust with massive market consolidation, merging, IP swapping, bottoming out a workforce reliant on production. Agencies are getting swallowed up into larger corporations, movies are flopping at the box office, cost of living keeps rising, "AI is coming for your job", budgets are dwindling but deliverables keep RISING. These are NOT sustainable practices but YOUR resolve is. The industry is changing in a tectonic shift, I want to be a part of it and am still an active contributor but Q2 has been a mess. We are hoping for a Q3 push. Get informed, just because your favorite show is back on your preferred streaming service doesn't mean "shit's sweet". A popular phrase in the hiphop lexicon comes to mind: "Do the knowledge." Full episode here: https://lnkd.in/e-k_VWhN

Work in the City and want to keep UK capital markets as competitive as possible outside of the European Union? Well, then it's imperative that you "step up" and help lawmakers and regulators determine how best to reach that goal, prominent government adviser Rachel Kent tells Following the Rules. In this week's episode, Kent, who is a partner at Hogan Lovells outlines how the City and its regulators can best navigate "a huge programme" of regulatory change, and why it is critical that finance execs also play their part in designing how these rule changes comes to fruition. She also discusses the regulatory priorities she would expect a Labour government to have, and outlines the mindset shift required to establish yourself as a go-to adviser to governments and lawmakers. There's something here for everyone.
