Marketing is broken - and Rory Sutherland is here to fix it.

In this unfiltered episode of Jimmy’s Jobs of the Future, legendary ad man Rory Sutherland (Vice Chairman of Ogilvy, TED sensation) returns to dismantle everything you think you know about logic, branding, and business.

Rory dives deep into why rational thinking leads to bad marketing, how companies are ignoring the most powerful tools in psychology, and why irrationality is the ultimate competitive advantage.

Expect riffs on iPhones vs Androids, what government and business get wrong about people, and how comedy, curiosity, and weirdness are the superpowers of great thinkers.

Plus: Rory’s thoughts on neurodiversity, conspiracy theories, alcohol-free beer, tribalism, and why your business probably needs a podcast.

This isn’t just marketing - it’s how the world works.
