  • 27. Measuring Partner Ecosystem Value with Chris Messina (Quarq)

    The theme of our 27th podcast episode is Measuring Partner Ecosystem Value: Why 90% of Partner Programs Fail And How to Fix Them. Joining our host Jeremy Balius to discuss all things partner ecosystems is Chris Messina from Quarq . Summary Most partner teams are stuck in the shadows—lacking visibility, tools, and buy-in. In this episode, Chris Messina, Founder and CEO of Quarq.ai, reveals why partner programs so often fail and what it takes to make them succeed. Chris shares his incredible personal journey and how it shaped his mission to bring credibility and accountability to ecosystem strategies. We unpack why vanity metrics are killing partner potential, how the Shared Value Index (SVI) is redefining how impact is measured, and why empathy, not resentment, is key to aligning with execs. Whether you lead a channel program or just believe partnerships are your company’s next big growth lever, this conversation offers a roadmap to ecosystem success and the data to prove it. Key topics covered: Why partner programs fail 90% of the time The power of measuring shared value , not just sourced revenue How to build executive trust and eliminate partner “invisibility” AI’s role in surfacing give-get opportunities Why the future C-suite may be led by ecosystem leaders About Chris Messina Chris Messina is the founder and CEO of Quarq, the first AI platform built to measure the true value of partner ecosystems. After a decade watching partner programs fail due to shallow metrics and executive blind spots, Chris had enough—and built a platform that exposes the real impact partners have on KPIs like ARR, retention, and growth. Think of Quarq as a credit score for every partner, and a portfolio index for your entire ecosystem. An Army veteran, former police officer, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, Chris brings relentless grit, sharp strategy, and zero tolerance for fluff. He’s on a mission to kill vanity metrics, hold partner teams accountable, and prove—once and for all—that partnerships are the most undervalued growth engine in tech. Whether you’re scaling an ecosystem or just trying to survive one, Chris is here to change the game… and he’s not asking for permission.

  • BON IVER: A Conversation with Chris Messina (22, a Million and I,i)
    After the Deluge

    Chris Messina co-produced the Bon Iver records 22, a Million and I,i, among dozens more by other artists. This is a bonus of sorts before we finish up at SABLE, fABLE . Chris and I casually talk about records made on unconventional instruments, exaggerated narratives around 22, a Million , turning April Base into a proper studio, living in Eau Claire for nine years, using gear incorrectly, adapting these kinds of songs live, big-ass headphones, finishing a record in Texas, a quick pop-punk diversion, and more. https://www.messinachris.com/ patreon.com/afterthedeluge instagram.com/routinelayup

  • The Hashtag with Chris Messina
    Happy Paths

    What do TikTok, Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook have in common? It's the hashtag: invented by a man of the internet, Chris Messina. Throughout his career, Chris has worked on movements online and offline that have helped define social media and social technology broadly. If you've used Firefox, attended a BarCamp event, or even checked in at a co-working space, then you're more than familiar with Chris' widespread impact. James sat down with Chris to learn more about the hashtag and to see how a simple feature proposed via a tweet evolved social media basically everywhere on the internet. Bio Chris Messina has spent a decade working on social technologies, designing products and experiences, working with startups, and changing the world by giving away many of his creations, including the hashtag. His skillset is broad, anchored in product and user experience design. He has created movements online and off, and has acted as an effective agent of change in large and small organizations. In 2004, he helped organize the grassroots movement that propelled Mozilla Firefox to its first 100 million downloads. In 2005, he co-organized the first BarCamp and then popularized the unconference event model to over 350 cities around the world. In 2006, he opened the first dedicated coworking space in San Francisco, giving rise to a global movement. Then in 2007, he brought the idea for the hashtag to Twitter, changing social media forever and galvanizing social revolutions across the globe. During his time at Google as a Developer Advocate, he lead the creation of Google Developers as a brand and central hub for all of Google’s developer tools, services, and documentation. Later, as a UX designer on the Google+ team, he redesigned the Google Profile, unifying 46 discrete representations of a person across the company's various products. He also lead the efforts to design Google+’s publisher platform offerings, including the +1 button and other embeddable publisher widgets. He has spoken at conferences like SXSW, Web 2.0 Expo, Google I/O, and Microsoft's Future Decoded, and has frequently been quoted in media outlets like The New York Times, Business Week, LA Times, Washington Post, and Wired.

  • Hustle: Imagine an Army of Friend Bots (with Chris Messina)
    The Funsize Show

    If you've ever used the hashtag, you've used a Chris Messina creation. For over a decade, Chris Messina has worked to transform and reimagine the way we look at the world and the way we interact with technology. A self-proclaimed “master of none,” Chris focuses on improving behavioral technology and the social web. Chris has worked in large and small operations, from owning Citizen Agency to being a part of large-scale enterprise companies like Google and Uber where he's worked to expand, cultivate, and advocate for the developer community. Chris just parted ways with Uber , where he was the developer experience lead. He is currently focusing on conversational products and, specifically, how the use of artificial intelligence (IA) and bots can profoundly affect self-driving and automated vehicles. He believes that conversational technology is the new wave of contextual design and that speech-based user interface can provide a shift into simpler technologies. "Imagine an army of bots that are your friends, or are essentially extensions of your friends, that allow you to tap into their extensive contextual knowledge about the subjects that you need information about. The biggest question and task is devising a way to bring all this information together and in a form that gives us more power and control over that experience, and can make the most interesting and useful knowledge available to those people into the right times and moments." On this episode we discuss: The hashtag: the idea, the reception, and what it's like today. The early days of the Internet. The cyclical nature of design and how success sometimes comes from defeat. The power of the Internet. Open source and how the idea came about. The ethics of creating bots.
