There are three conversations that happen in every marketing manager's month. And most of us have been quietly getting all three of them wrong, not because we're bad at our jobs, but because nobody ever taught us what the high-stakes version of each one actually looks like.

In this episode I'm walking through the three moments where marketing managers shrink most consistently and giving you a specific, practical framework for each one.

This isn't about confidence tips. It's about knowing exactly what to say and how to say it, so the next time one of these moments arrives you're not winging it.

Something is coming. I'm building something for ambitious marketing managers. It's not ready yet but when it is, you'll hear about it first. Sign up here

I've heard the phrase "imposter syndrome" probably a thousand times in my career. And every time, I hate it. Not because the feeling isn't real, but because I think the label is making us more stuck, not less.

In this episode I'm getting into why I hate the phrase, what's actually going on when that self-doubt shows up, and the one question swap that changes how you respond to it. Plus the specific ways it shows up in marketing careers and what to actually do when it hits.

If you've ever second-guessed whether you deserve the role you're in, or felt like everyone else has it figured out except you, this episode is for you.

If your marketing role has started to feel a bit... comfortable, then this episode is your nudge.

Sometimes feeling stuck in your marketing career isn't about burnout or losing motivation, it's a sign you're ready for something more. And in this episode, I'm talking about the thing that's moved the needle for me more than almost anything else in twelve years as a general marketer: deliberately learning something new.

I'm sharing the real stories - from teaching myself Google Ads on a free course and a £250 budget, scaling it to £2,500 with real ROI behind it, to the HubSpot moment that made me realise I had a blindspot I couldn't ignore any longer and exactly how to start stretching yourself without overwhelming yourself.

Whether you want to learn a new channel, develop a new skill, or simply start thinking at a higher level in your current role, this episode will show you how to make it actually happen.

If you've been playing it safe in your marketing for a little longer than you want to, this episode is for you!

Every marketer loses their mojo at some point. The ideas stop flowing, the confidence dips, and suddenly you're staring at your to-do list wondering what happened to you.

In this episode, I'm sharing the January that nearly made me question my entire career — and the lunchtime walk that completely changed how I think about those flat, uninspired periods.

Because here's what I've learned after twelve years in marketing: you haven't lost your ability. You've lost your connection to it. And those are two very different things.

We're covering why mojo dips happen (including the one reason nobody talks about), how to recognise the warning signs before they spiral, and the five practical ways to get your momentum back, without waiting to feel motivated first.

If you've been going through the motions lately, this episode is your reset.

This is the final episode in my AI mini-series and it feels like a turning point.

Over the last few episodes I've taken you through how I actually use AI day to day, the mindset shift from speed to outcomes, how to prompt properly, how to build Custom GPTs, how to lead a team through it, and even how I used AI for a confidence boost before a keynote.

But this episode is different. This one is about what comes next.

Because I've hit a new ceiling and I want to share honestly where I am, what I'm trying to solve, and what I'm building towards over the next six weeks.

If you've been on this journey with me through the series, this is the episode that takes it a level further. This is a great place to start thinking bigger about what AI can actually do for your marketing.

Two hours before a keynote to 80+ marketers, I was sitting in a freezing Starbucks trying not to spiral. What if I rush? What if I blank? Is 25 minutes even enough time? (Especially when the last time I spoke, I fully blanked for ten seconds and still think about it.)

I couldn’t call anyone. I didn’t want to stand outside in the freezing cold rehearsing to myself. So I did something unexpected.

With not many options, on a whim, I opened ChatGPT and asked for a pep talk. In this episode, I walk you through exactly what I did. And the result? One of the best keynotes I’ve delivered. 

This isn’t about replacing human support. It’s about having something steady when your marketing bestie isn’t available and you need to stop the spiral quickly.

If you’ve got a presentation, interview, launch day or big conversation coming up, then this episode is for you.

We're barely into Q2 and I'm already sharing this, because I know so many of you are in exactly this position right now.

Most leaders wait until the end of the year to share the wins. But with AI moving this fast, I wanted to bring you on the journey as I'm living it.

This episode isn't about how to use AI. It's about how to lead a team through learning it, when you're figuring it out yourself at the same time.

I'm sharing the exact things I've put in place this year when it comes to being a marketing leader figuring it out as we go.

If you manage a marketing team and you want to create an environment where AI actually gets used, not just talked about, this episode is especially for you.

If you’re still opening a new ChatGPT window every time you need something, re-explaining your company, your audience, your tone and your strategy from scratch… we need to talk.

Custom GPTs completely changed how I use AI in my marketing. Not because they made me faster (although they did), but because they raised the standard of my results.

In this episode, I’m breaking down what Custom GPTs actually are, when you should use them (and when you absolutely shouldn’t), and the exact step-by-step process I use to build them properly. I’m also sharing real marketing examples so you can see how this works beyond theory.

If you want AI to improve your marketing quality this episode will change how you think about using it.

Most marketers don’t have an AI problem. They have a prompting problem.

If you’ve ever typed something into ChatGPT, hit enter, and felt underwhelmed by what came back this episode is for you.

In this one, I’m breaking down why prompting is the real skill behind great AI outputs, how to brief it properly, and the small shifts that completely change the quality of what you get back. 

Because smarter AI doesn’t start with better tech, It starts with you.

Last week, we talked about using AI to save time in your marketing work.
This week, we’re going a level deeper.

Because here’s the realisation I had to face: even though AI was helping me move faster, I was still working in exactly the same way. Same processes. Same pressure. Just… sped up.

And speed isn’t the outcome.

In this episode, I’m sharing the mindset shift that helped me move from task-level productivity to rethinking how marketing actually works and tying that work back to the outcomes that matter.

This kicks off a new mini-series where I take you behind the scenes of how I’m rethinking AI in my marketing role, what I’m testing, and what I’m learning in real time.

If you’ve nailed the “AI saves me time” phase and you’re wondering what comes next, this episode is for you.
