Aliens have abducted an X21 team member…and shortly after, multiple systems reported: “something feels off. Possibly hacked.

They claim this human has a rare ability to identify problems before anyone else notices them… and fix them just as fast!

Here’s what we know about our mystery crewmate:
- Lives in the world of problem-solving and precision
- Calm under pressure, even when things break (especially when things break)
- Quietly keeps everything running behind the scenes
- Responds fast, fixes faster

Something's been building behind the scenes at Xponent21.

Chuck McCarthy has been in the studio recording new videos, and our new podcast – To The Power of X. We're focused on what's actually happening in AI SEO, GEO, and marketing strategy. No filler, no selling, just the conversations worth having as we enter the future of marketing.

This month, we're celebrating Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month by spotlighting digital creators who are changing how their industries work — and inspiring our team along the way.

🌟 Mari Soonsoo Bae — A founder and sought-after speaker who brings entrepreneurial clarity to stages and boardrooms alike. We're proud she's a voice on the AI Ready RVA board and a constant reminder of what bold leadership looks like.

🎙 Jane Manchun Wong — An engineer and tech reporter who built her reputation by reverse-engineering unreleased app features before anyone else knew they existed. BBC called her "the woman scooping Silicon Valley." Her work is a masterclass in curiosity and precision.

🎮 Markiplier — Mark Fischbach turned a YouTube channel into a 38M+ subscriber community and has raised millions for charity through his platform. He spent 2 years creating the film "Iron Lung," and upon a rare self-release into theaters in January 2026, grossed $50M in the global box office.

🎨 Chris Do — A Vietnamese-American designer whose family fled Vietnam after the Fall of Saigon. He built Blind into an Emmy Award-winning studio, then built The Futur into one of the most impactful creative education platforms online. He's taught millions of designers how to value their work.

Representation in digital spaces matters. and tends to transcend screens. These four creators show up fully — sharing their perspectives, their heritage, and their craft — and our world (and team) is better for it. Thank you for your inspirational work!
