Past Speaking Appearances

I certainly don’t expect you to listen to and/or watch all of these. This list is intended to give you a variety of options to best inform the content you’d like us to collaborate on.

Marketing Powerups: I chat with Ramli John about using your webinar or event program to power your blog. We also dive into some career advice.
Builders: I talk with hosts Liam Moroney and Graceanne MacDonald about what it takes to launch and grow a newsletter, and how I separate my personal brand from my work at SparkToro (which is more nuanced than one might think).
Everything Is Marketing: In this conversation with Corey Haines, we geeked out on product-led content and the notion of permissionless co-marketing.
Creative Elements: Jay Clouse and I discussed creating and audience building, and what I plan to do as a result of growing my social media follower base.
How to Market Your DTC Brand: This is about more than direct-to-consumer marketing. I ranted to host Matthew Gatozzi about the Google/Facebook paid marketing duopoly, made the case for long-term marketing goals, and gave a primer on how to get started with SEO. I also talked a bit about cold outreach and red flags to look for when hiring a marketing or PR agency.
Demand Curve’s Growth Summit: I spoke on the media panel with Alex Lieberman and Fadeke Adegbuyi. At the 39:17 mark, I explain a content technique I call the “rent, own, and sublet” strategy.
B2B Better: I talked about the blurring lines between B2C and B2B marketing, and riffed on the validity of the traditional marketing funnel with my friend Jason Bradwell.
The Danny Miranda Podcast: Bless Danny’s heart… he very empathetically and curiously asked me about my 33-hour labor. We also chatted about content marketing, but this was a fun and unexpected detour into my personal life.
