“There’s always the certainty that the opposite of what I might believe in might also be true.” — Ken Burns

Ken Burns (@KenBurns) has been making documentary films for more than 40 years.

Since the Academy Award nominated Brooklyn Bridge in 1981, Ken has gone on to direct and produce some of the most acclaimed historical documentaries ever made, including The Civil War; Baseball; Jazz; The Statue of Liberty; Huey Long; Lewis & Clark; Frank Lloyd Wright; Mark Twain; Unforgivable Blackness: The Rise and Fall of Jack Johnson; The War; The National Parks: America’s Best Idea; The Roosevelts; Jackie Robinson; Defying the Nazis: The Sharps’ War; The Vietnam War, and The Mayo Clinic: Faith — Hope — Science.

Ken’s films have been honored with dozens of major awards, including sixteen Emmy Awards, two Grammy Awards, and two Oscar nominations; and in September of 2008, at the News & Documentary Emmy Awards, Ken was honored by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences with a Lifetime Achievement Award.

His newest work is Country Music. It explores the history of a uniquely American art form: country music. From its deep and tangled roots in ballads, blues, and hymns performed in small settings, to its worldwide popularity, learn how country music evolved over the course of the twentieth century, as it eventually emerged to become America’s music. Country Music features never-before-seen footage and photographs, plus interviews with more than 80 country music artists. The eight-part, 16-hour series is directed and produced by Ken Burns, written and produced by Dayton Duncan, and produced by Julie Dunfey.

It debuts on PBS on Sunday, September 15th, 2019, at 8 EST/7 CST.

Podcast Notes 11) The Joe Rogan Experience #1169 – Elon Musk

• It will be very tempting to use AI as a weapon (and it will probably happen)
• “A company is essentially a cybernetic collective, of people and machines”
  • Google, plus all the humans that use it, are one giant cybernetic collective
    • We’re all effectively programming their AI – This is also true of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc.
• Elon was once a big proponent of slowing down AI development and regulating it more heavily –this is talked about in the book, Life 3.0
• The scenario in which we merge with AI is the one that probably turns out best for us
  • “If you can’t beat it, join it”
• “Your phone is already an extension of you. You’re already a cyborg, and most people don’t realize it.”
  • But – The communication rate between you and your phone/computer is very slow (compared to what it could be) – this is the problem Neuralink is setting out to solve
• “I think a Tesla is the most fun thing you could possibly ever buy”
  • “It’s not a car, it’s a thing to maximize enjoyment”
• I don’t think you’d necessarily want to be me. I don’t think people would like it that much.”
  • Elon says the worst part about “being him” – “It’s very hard to turn it off”
• “Give people the benefit of the doubt. Assume they’re good until proven otherwise. Most people are pretty good people.”
  • “This may sound corny, but love is the answer”
  • “It wouldn’t hurt to have more love in the world

Podcast Notes Key Takeaways

• “You only get to make a first impression once… so you might as well make it a good one”
• Brand consistency is VERY important
  • Make sure the brand evokes the same emotions across all product lines and everything you do
• One of the most important things Bernt learned during his time at Donna Karan – the good-better-best pricing strategy 
  • Having tiered pricing/products caters to the aspirations of consumers who might not be able to afford the main brand while still allowing for the exclusivity of the expensive product line
• “You cannot be best in class within every single product category. It’s just not even credible… I believe in concentrate and dominate. Be really, really good at what you’re good at. If you want to be a global lifestyle brand, you need to have a number of different product verticals, but it’s not logical that you’re the best operator for every single vertical.”
  • You don’t have to do everything yourself – consider licensing
• 3 lessons in branding:
  • “At the end of the day, brands are about trust”
  • All great brands are authentic, credible, and aspirational
    • If you check all three of these boxes, there’s no reason why you can’t enter a new product vertical 
  • To put your brand on steroids, attach yourself to a celebrity or influencer

The Power Of Brand Consistency

The concept of branding is thrown around a lot these days but there’s few with a better handle on what that means than Bernt Ullman. Bernt has a weighty and impressive trail of success in fashion and branding with the likes of Donna Karan whom he took from 40m to 250m in international revenue. Roland and Bernt talk today and garner some great takeaways for you, our listeners.

Mr. Ullmann has been the trusted business acceleration expert by CEOs such as Daymond John, Eddie Lampert, and Tommy Hilfiger. He’s arguably the world’s leading expert in celebrity brand development, brand management, licensing and distribution, and monetization - having contributed to the successful launches of brands for clients including Jennifer Lopez, Adam Levine, Nicki Minaj, and many others. The brands he has worked with have generated over $6 billion dollars in global sales, and as such, some call him the “6 Billion Dollar Man”. But Bernt didn’t start out in high fashion, he had a more down-to-earth start with his launch of Scandinavia's first home delivery pizza service, Pizza Pronto, in Copenhagen.

All that to say, we think you’ll enjoy his story and will benefit from his experience! If you want to dive deeper, check out his website and his book, the Billion Dollar Branding Blueprint.

"You cannot be 'best in class' within every single product category. It's just not even credible... I believe in concentrate and dominate. Be really, really good at what you're good at. If you want to be a global lifestyle brand, you need to have a number of different product verticals, but it's not logical that you're the best operator for every single vertical."- Bernt Ullman

Listen For

• The 'Good, Better, Best' pricing strategy that Bernt learned at Donna Karan that caters to people who can’t afford higher-end products and pricing, but still protects the feeling of exclusivity at the higher end.
• 'Halo Products' and Brand Essence.
• Consider the emotion you want your brand to evoke and make sure that feeling is consistent across all your product lines and everything you do as a company. This is Brand Consistency. 
• How licensing can help you expand your brand and ensure better quality - without tapping out your resources
• The three ingredients that make up all great brands: Authenticity, Aspiration, and Credibility. Find out what you can do when you have all these under your belt!
• What Bernt learned from his first entrepreneurial venture, Pizza Pronto.
• How he moved to LA and managed to get a foot in the door at Barneys, Nordstrom, and Nieman Marcus.
• How he and his partner worked with a ‘factoring company’ to fund the orders (listen for Roland’s explanation of what a factoring company is/does).
• How he took Donna Karan from $40 million to $250 million in international revenue.
• The Price Anchoring tactics FUBU used to sell ‘boatloads’ of high-end jeans.
• How to put your brand ‘on steroids’.
