Adam Garone is the co-founder and Chief Mo Bro of the Movember Foundation, the only charity tackling men’s health on a global scale.

In case you’re unaware of Movember and how it works, it simply asks blokes to get sponsored to grow a mo’ during November; with all the money raised going to fund research into men’s health.

And how’s this for a scoreboard … since commencing in 2003, Movember has had:

• Over 5 million people have taken part in Movember
• They’ve raised more than $770 million
• They’re in 21 countries
• And have funded over 1,200 men’s health programs

We cover plenty of ground in this chat including:

• Why Adam is keen to shift from success to significance
• How Movember is working hard to stay relevant
• The importance of user-generated content
• And a great idea he has to utilize barbers in Movember’s marketing

But that's not all. In this episode of your favourite marketing podcast:

• I share another low cost marketing idea for you to implement immediately in our new segment loving called What Have You Got To Lose?
• And we revisit a past episode in which went behind-the-scenes of Spell and the Gypsy Collective

Yep, you guessed it, another big episode, so let's get stuck, right in.

MY TOP 3 MARKETING ATTENTION GRABBERS

1. Successful to significant. This way of thinking can just as easily refer to for-profit businesses, as much as it does to not-for-profit businesses. What first step do you need to take in order for you or your business to become more significant in your industry?
   
   
2. Reinvention of the brand each year. This is a smart idea. When was the last time you gave your visual brand identity a bit of a tickle?
   
   
3. Being in service. Again, another great mindset to adopt. I like to think I’m in service to small business owners who are wanting to grow their businesses through effective marketing. It certainly makes delivering this kind of information so much more rewarding, than just being in it for the money. How can you shift to a being in service mindset?
