Don't Say Content

Getting behind the mic and discussing industry trends, professional (and personal) growth, and sharing their stories has led to a lot of learnings and even more growth for our hosts, Devin and Margaret. 

In this episode, they reflect on what they’ve learned and where this podcast journey has taken us. We’re bringing season 1 to a close with humor, wit, and a peek behind the curtain at the podcast process.  (But don’t worry, we’ll be back before you know it.) 

Stay with us to the end for a special reading from Jenn Hirsh, futurist and astrologer, and former Ernst and Young Head of Startups and Futurist. And check out Soulful Wealth here: https://soulfulwealth.co/

When left unresolved, fear keeps us from being productive, connecting with others, and ultimately from personal and career growth. It also never goes away and in fact, can become an even bigger obstacle as you progress in your career.

Whether you work for yourself, run a team or a company, fear surfaces over and over to present unique challenges. But when you learn how to work with fear, it can lead to a kind of bravery and curiosity that transforms your creativity and careers.

In this episode, Devin and Margaret invite fear to the table for a little chat. Listen as they share their experiences navigating fear professionally and personally, publicly and privately, alongside each other and their most trusted community (including some top-tier advice from Momma Bramhall).

Instead of frameworks and playbooks, let’s talk about how culture, brand, content, and community intertwine to create a successful marketing strategy. In this episode, Devin and Margaret remind us that marketing isn’t always about numbers and tactics. What really makes marketing departments successful? What fuels recruitment and retention of employees while also building a community around the brand?

Remember when you felt like your boss just “didn’t get it”? They didn’t understand your constraints, your blockers, how much you are doing? It turns out, when YOU then become a boss, despite your best intentions, it’s easy to make those same mistakes. How come? One contributor is that you’re confronted with an equation you never anticipated before you were in your boss’ shoes. And that repeats as you move from manager to director and onwards. In this week’s episode, Devin and Margaret are talking about one leadership blindspot in particular: the feeling vs fact of company structure constraints.

Welcome to Don’t Say Content, a new podcast hosted by Devin Bramhall and Margaret Kelsey.

Are you a:

—a leader of people?

—creative-minded individual?

—someone who enjoys a good spicy take?

Every Tuesday Devin and Margaret say what’s really on their minds about the marketing industry. After over 10 years in the industry, they are bored with the current state of marketing. So they made a podcast to inspire themselves and fellow marketing leaders who feel the same. They aren’t sharing tactics, playbooks or guides. They aren’t interviewing smart people (or anyone) about marketing. They are talking to each other about why they are annoyed with marketing and what they think needs to change to make it better. 

Plus, get weekly predictions from futurist astrologer, Jenn Hirsch, founder of Soulful Wealth.
