🚨 This one’s a bit different—made special for our REALITY TV FANS.

We’re sipping Loverboy and spilling the tea on how reality TV became a business powerhouse. From iconic franchises to influencer-led empires, reality stars are out here building brand deals, e-commerce empires, and cult followings like it’s their job (because it is).

Not everyone gets it right—but those who do? Chef’s kiss. We also put our Producer hats on and share how we would revamp The Bachelor franchise (no offense ABC, it needs some love).

🎧 If you’re a reality TV junkie with a marketing brain, this one's your dream episode. Tune in for business lessons from the most chaotic corner of TV. Listen to Reality TV & Business: Unplugged

That’s it—we’re starting the timer on these hot takes!

In this Rapid Fire Reactions: Mini episode of Ducks Unplugged, we’re joined once again by Erin Campbell for a high-stakes (and highly entertaining) timed round of hot takes on trending topics in marketing, pop culture, and work-life. Each of us only gets ONE PASS... so use it wisely.

We’re dishing on:
– The “goodnight” trend (we ship it)
– Whether anyone is using Threads
– TikTok fashion aesthetics (Coastal Grandma, obviously)
– If Disney trips are actually… stressful??
– And so much more

Can we defend our takes in under 60 seconds? Or will this spiral into a full-blown Duck Debate?

🎧 Hit play and test your takes with us!

Alright brands, it’s 2025—let’s talk micro-moments as a way of connecting with your customer. Conference swag bags? Ashley’s ride-or-die for these babies, but some of those other branded micro-moments? They need a vibe check. We’re picking them at random from a bowl and deciding if they get to stay, need a major makeover, or if it’s just time for the trash.

And since we’re feeling festive, we’re inventing our own micro-holidays too. Because let’s be real, we ALL need more reasons to celebrate—or reasons to say “nope, not today.” Find out which quirky holidays we’d proudly mark on our calendars and which we’d ignore faster than an email marked "urgent."

Welcome to the brand-new Ducks Unplugged studio! In this special episode, we explore a world of "what ifs" that you won’t want to miss. What if we re-imagined a brand for an unlikely audience? What if brands were people? Where would Google go on vacation? Would brands have dating profiles (and how unhinged would Taco Bell's be)? 😅

We also ask the big questions: What would Deanna and Ashley do if they weren’t marketers? Plus, Trader Joes mini-totes FTW.

🎧 Tune in for a fun, creative, and wild ride as we let our imaginations run wild with these "what if" scenarios.
