TAYLOR SWIFT IS ENGAGED, her storytelling psychology, and is she trolling Meghan Markle? (I mean, Sussex). We also discuss why are Americans so much bolder in business than Kiwis and Aussies....

On top of covering:

• 🎤 The awkward reality of friends watching your business online (and why Farmer Sam is my unexpected podcast validator).
• 💍 Taylor Swift’s engagement - when it happened, why it matters, and why her storytelling makes her the world’s most powerful marketer.
• 👑 Meghan Markle’s With Love, Meghan Season 2 — why it’s giving “school camp counselor” instead of Netflix must-watch (and my pitch to save the show).
• 🎾 Serena Williams partnering with a weight-loss drug company (and the brand credibility fallout).
• 💡 The brutal cultural difference between American entrepreneurs vs. NZ/Australian business owners - and why Tall Poppy Syndrome is holding us back from saying the big, scary goals out loud.

It’s gossip, it’s business psychology, it’s storytelling 101… and it’s your permission slip to want more, dream bigger, and actually say it out loud.

What does J.Lo being denied entry into Chanel, Alex Hormozi’s 10-hour book launch, and Taylor Swift breaking YouTube records all have in common? Business lessons.

In this episode of Dirty Chats (where pop culture meets marketing), I talk:

• Jennifer Lopez’s Chanel snub in Istanbul → and why her relentless work ethic (and even her flops) should be every entrepreneur’s blueprint.
• Alex Hormozi’s insane $100M book launch strategy → from spending $5M+ on ads to a Guinness World Record, and what it teaches us about risk, ROI, and showing up messy but massive.
• Taylor Swift on the New Heights Podcast → 1.3M live viewers, buying back her masters, announcing her album with Travis Kelce, and what her moves reveal about relatability, hype, and partnership in business.
• The real secret to achieving more in business → why emotions are a waste of energy (my 14 yr old self didn't see this coming), how to take action even when fear creeps in, and why successful entrepreneurs don’t let feelings drive the car.

If you love marketing psychology, viral celebrity moments, and brutally honest entrepreneurial lessons, this one’s packed.

✨ You’ll hear how to turn rejection into opportunity, why “working harder than everyone else” isn’t cliché (it’s strategy), and how to stop letting emotions hijack your goals.

Who am I? I'm Marisa Twentyman, founder of Dirty Copy, and a website copywriter for brands that don't do boring. 

So yes, I love writing for businesses, but as a former highschool teacher, I love teaching you how to write good copy...

...and more importantly, how to generate good copy from AI. 

🚨 ChatGPT 5 is here — but is it the tool that will revolutionise humanity… or the technology that pushes us toward doomsday? In this episode of Dirty Chats, I unpack Sam Altman’s latest interview, why his answers worry me, and what AI’s rapid evolution means for you (and your kids).

But it’s not all existential dread - we’re also diving into the week’s juiciest celebrity and pop culture updates:

• 🎤 Taylor Swift’s 12th album announcement - hidden clues, orange carousels, and a masterclass in scarcity marketing
• 💌 Pamela Anderson & Liam Neeson’s budding romance - sourdough bread, shyness,  and the internet’s new favourite wholesome couple?
• 📺 My takeaways from Pamela’s Netflix documentary — from pattern interrupts to the personal cost of liberation in the public eye

Plus: Why refusing to learn AI now could leave you behind forever - and how to protect your future in a world where knowledge is free, creativity is under threat, and regulation is lagging behind.

If you’ve ever wanted to launch (or re-launch) a podcast and actually get noticed, this is the episode to steal from. I’m breaking down the exact strategy I used to debut Dirty Chats at #1 in multiple countries - including:

• The 10-day review + follow push that works
• How I built a “launch squad” for guaranteed action
• Why I swapped 10 small prizes for one big $500 giveaway
• The binge-drop strategy for week one
• And why I refused to do another generic interview show

But first, I start with the gossip: why I might owe Justin Timberlake an apology (Lyme disease plot twist), Kim Kardashian’s Hannibal Lecter–inspired Skims stunt, and the Sydney Sweeney/American Eagle ad that somehow turned into a political battlefield over… jeans.

What do Taylor Swift, Gwyneth Paltrow, Justin Timberlake, and the Coldplay kiss-cam cheater have in common? They all got dragged through this episode -  lovingly, of course.

We unpack:

• Denise Healy’s bold take on her almost-daughter-in-law Taylor Swift 👀
• Why Taylor’s the queen of marketing (and lipstick missteps)
• Justin Timberlake’s low-effort tour and J.Lo’s high-effort… effort
• Gwyneth Paltrow’s genius PR cameo for Astronomer
• A complete PR rehab strategy for Andy Byron, the world’s most awkward CEO
• A behind-the-scenes look at how I “do it all” (spoiler: I don’t)

If you’ve ever felt emotionally stable, wildly ambitious, and slightly unhinged all at once - this one’s for you.

In this episode of Dirty Chats, we’re diving pom-poms first into the world of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders - the glam, the grit, the weight contracts, and the whisper of cult energy. Why are 18-year-olds washing hotpants with toothbrushes while 60-year-old men rate their “cuteness”? And why do thousands of women still dream of joining?

I unpack how the DCC became a masterclass in brand strategy — and how you can steal their playbook to stand out in your own business.

Plus, a not-so-dirty detour: the tragic Air India crash. The black box recording was just released - and while my air traffic controller husband refused to go on the mic, I break it down myself (terrified of flying, barely aviation literate, so...you're welcome). 

Was it human error or something more suspicious?

Also inside:

• The bullying allegation that made me audibly gasp
• What a "brand binder" is and why it's giving ✨cult✨
• The difference between excellence and exploitation
• A rant about Facebook statuses
• And a vulnerable, low point: me, promoting this podcast on Facebook like someone’s uncle

If your marketing plan could use a little cheer (or a little scandal), this one’s for you.

🎧 Hit follow, leave a review, and remember: staying on brand doesn’t mean staying silent.

• 💋 The Coldplay Kiss Cam Affair...I’ve got a marketing plan for his wife.
• 🎸 The fake band with 1 million Spotify listeners… that turned out to be AI-generated. We’re diving into the existential dread of AI in the music industry - and what it means for creativity.

You’ll also hear:

• The exact play-by-play of my viral content strategy (spoiler: it involved vomit, school holidays, and carousels).
• The mindset shifts that actually made the difference - like removing emotion from content creation.
• Why you need to stop waiting for perfect ideas and start winging your strategy.

If you’ve ever wondered why your content isn’t taking off - or if you’ve just been hate-watching the Coldplay kiss cam footage on repeat...this one's for you.

In this episode of Dirty Chats, we’re asking the hard-hitting question that affects global politics: have the Kardashians finally missed the cultural memo… and what if you have too?

We unpack:

• The $10 million Birkin Bag sale and why it’s a marketing masterstroke
• The exact moment I realised I wasn't cool
• Why Kim Kardashian’s weird robot thirst trap was the ultimate cultural miss
• How Hollywood (and the Kardashians) lost their power — and what people actually want now
• The cultural shifts in content, fashion, and influence that will leave your brand irrelevant if you’re not paying attention
• And my genius PR strategy that could actually make Kim Kardashian relevant again — and yes, it ends with Taylor Swift.

If you’re still posting like it’s 2020 and wondering why it’s not landing - this one’s for you.
