Meet my pal Ty Stafford. Ty hacked his way into the Forbes 30 under 30 list 5 years ago and hasn't looked back. Over his career he's helped build Red Bull Media House, Omelet, and NVE Experience Agency's content offering. Over our friendship he's hurt my feelings, flaked on plans, and hurt my feelings some more.

...but seriously, join me as I learn how to build my personal brand with the best digital content creator I know.

The idea of Lume came to Shannon during her residency to become an OB/GYN. Time and time again she noticed women coming to the doctor complaining about odor below the belt and leaving with a false diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis—or BV—and a prescription for an antibiotic they didn’t usually need. It felt wrong, and she was determined to find a better solution for these often misdiagnosed women.

Ben is the founder of Invincible Unicorn and Gigantic Fucking Solutions, author of Instinct, and an all around advertising ninja. It's our longest episode yet (by a lot) and for good reason.

Damian Dayton is the CCO of Creatably, one smart cookie, and the namer of this podcast. But seriously, he came up with the name ...but seriously.

They're the only agency that builds and markets their own products (at least that I know of). So hop in, fire up your fav podcasting app, and learn from this marketing sage as I do.

Ok, he's not actually the enemy, just another fellow comedy ad agency founder. A smart, kind, and experienced one at that.

Nicholas Love is a former ESPN broadcaster,  the current Digital Engagement Director at G&S. He's also black man and willing to share his perspective on the industry with someone as clueless as I am. Over the course of the conversation I learn about the unconscious biases within all of us, how to solve racism in the industry, and whether or not I'm being offensive in how I ask questions.

Jonny and I discuss, well, the title kinda covers it.  You'll learn how to market your Kickstarter campaign, the difference between Tik Tok and Linkedin, and how to create ads that aren't just funny, they sell stuff. Jonny is the Copy Lead and Creative Director at Harmon Brothers – the agency behind poopourri, purple, and squatty potty – and just an all around great guy.

Lastly, Jonny helps lead the 14 Day Script Challenge for Harmon Brothers University, which you can find here – https://harmonbrothersuniversity.com/14-day-script-challenge. I could not recommend it enough. Seriously. I didn't know how little I knew about how to make an ad that's actually effective.
