    SEEing Change in Women's Paddle with Special Guest Macie Elliott

    A rising sport, a three-time champion, and a community that turns winter into a season of possibility—this conversation with Macie Elliott is a masterclass in how paddle tennis blends strategy, resilience, and partnership.  Join Annie as she talk through Macie's early roots playing tennis with her family in Evansville, Indiana,  to her Division 1 tennis career at SMU and into paddle, where she has found the sweet spot where the screens rewrite shot selection and patience outplays power.  We delve into the mental side of the game and how racquet sports build resilience and determination. You'll love her take on accountability and composure—and her habit of reflection and adjustment. Strategy fans get a window into patterns, tempo shifts, and why the screens create both more strengths and more weaknesses to exploit. We also face the access question head-on. Paddle’s reputation as a country club sport isn’t about culture, it’s about cost. Macie points to public facilities like Cleveland’s model, youth clinics, streaming, and regional camps as the levers that can expand the map across the colder half of the country.  Whether you’re a seasoned player or screen-curious, you’ll leave with tools for better shot choices, stronger partnerships, and a steadier mind under pressure. Join us at Canoe Brook March 6–8, cheer on the women’s draw, and help grow the game. If this conversation resonates, follow the show, share with your team, and leave a quick review to help more listeners find us. About R. Seelaus & Co., Inc. R.

    SEEing Change in Marketing and Behavioral Science with Special Guest Leslie Zane

    We are thrilled to welcome Leslie Zane, to this episode of SEE Change.

In 1995 she founded Triggers®, the first brand consulting firm rooted in behavioral science and, together with her team, cracked the code on accelerating brand growth.  Join Annie for a fascinating conversation on Zane's groundbreaking book and how it challenges conventional wisdom in business and brand building. Zane says the old rules were based on the premise that the conscious mind drives decisions. But now that we know the unconscious mind is king, it’s time for a new rulebook – one that works with the mind instead of against it.  Leslie Zane is an award-winning marketer, a TEDx speaker, and a leading authority on leveraging the instinctive mind to boost brand and business growth. Like many trailblazers, her innovative ideas faced skepticism in the early days. In 1995, she established Triggers®, the first brand consulting firm grounded in behavioral science, and, along with her team, successfully unlocked the secrets to accelerating brand growth. Over the past 25 years, her firm has generated more than $25 billion in incremental revenue growth for Fortune 100 clients. Zane's impressive background includes education from Yale, Harvard Business School, and professional experience with Bain & Company and P&G. She has received accolades such as the Congressional Women of Distinction and the Ogilvy Award. Her insights and work have been featured in prestigious publications, including Knowledge@Wharton, Harvard Business Review, the World Economic Forum, and Newsweek, among others. About R.

Zwift has revolutionized indoor cycling, offering a host of training options to get people fit. In this lively conversation, Annie and Kate talk about Kate's journey to Zwift and how she has catapulted women’s professional cycling to the main stage. She was vital in creating the partnership with Zwift announcing a four-year title sponsorship of the eight-stage Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, the first multiday women’s Tour de France since the 1980s.   Learn more about how Zwift’s awesome platform and their community of cyclists who have completely disrupted the way women engage, train, and compete in women’s cycling.  About Kate Veronneau: Kate Veronneau has built an unconventional career in sports, transitioning from a college basketball player at Brown University to a professional cyclist. After facing challenges in women's cycling, she returned to the workforce, holding roles at GSI Commerce and Vanguard before becoming Marketing Director at Thomson Bike Tours.
