The best ads don't shout—they risk something real. In this episode of Todd Liles and the Wizard of Ads, Roy H. Williams and Todd Liles dive deep into one of the most underused—but most powerful—tools in advertising and leadership: vulnerability.

Whether it's a silent Google ad, a $40,000 refund no one ever heard about, or a tech who finally believes in what he's selling—vulnerability builds trust like nothing else.

If you want to lead better, sell with soul, and create ads people feel—this one's for you.

-Use emotional, relational, and financial vulnerability to build trust -Turn quiet integrity into powerful internal marketing -Sell more by living your brand promise—not just advertising it -Make your team believe in the message by showing, not telling -Craft ads that feel like overheard conversations—not sales scripts -Take creative risks that connect deeply and last longer
