Support for the show comes from LinkedIn ads. There's no worse feeling than making a major investment in something only to realize it didn't exactly live up to the hype, such as buying a nice piece of tech that ends up in storage collecting dust or taking a business workshop where your main takeaway was little more than a few motivational words. If you work in marketing, this can happen with ads. You optimize for the numbers that look great, impressions, reach, and reactions. But when they don't show revenue, that can turn into an unfun conversation with the CFO. LinkedIn has a word for that, bull spend. Reach the right buyers from LinkedIn ads and invest in what looks good to your CFO. According to the 2026 Dream Data Benchmark Report, LinkedIn ads generated the highest ROAS of all major ad networks at 121%. You can target by company, industry, job.

Support for the show comes from Odoo.

Now there is Odoo, the all in one fully integrated platform that might actually help you get it all done. Thousands of businesses have made the switch, so why not you? Try Odoo for free at odoo.com.

I'm Glen Washington, and we make Snap Judgment right here in the bay. The open streets, the fog, the beat in everything we do, but Snap chases the story wherever it leads. On board a rogue fishing boat, inside the Heaven's Gate Cult, walking into a West Texas snake charmer pageant — the person next to you might seem ordinary until you get close. Snap gets close. Snap Judgment from KQED. Time to listen now to Snap Judgment from KQED on Spotify.
