Maven Marketing with Brandon Welch

When did your work stop feeling like play?

In this solo Maven Monday episode, Brandon revisits a quote that has shaped the way he thinks about business, leadership, and life. This one's about remembering why you started, and what the big dream actually is.

In seasons of stress, growth, and uncertainty, it’s easy to slip into maintenance mode. To become reactive. To grind without joy. But what if the problem isn’t your workload, it’s your alignment?

This episode is a reset for founders, visionaries, and operators who feel the weight of responsibility and want to fall back in love with their craft.

Because when you pursue excellence in how you show up in your leadership, your health, your learning, and your purpose, work stops feeling like something you endure.

And starts feeling like something you get to do.

If you’ve been tired, distracted, or disconnected from the bigger vision, this one’s for you.

You’ve been giving the best of you away all day. To clients, problems, deadlines, and the grind of building something meaningful.

But what happens when you walk through the front door?

In this short Maven Monday episode, Brandon shares a simple habit called “Drive Around the Block” A practical reset that helps small business owners create work-life balance, separate stress from home, and show up with real presence for the people who matter most.

This is about building healthy rhythms, protecting your family time, and creating more harmony between entrepreneurship and real life. 

Because the big dream isn’t worth it if you lose yourself or your relationships along the way.

A reminder for every leader: sometimes the most powerful growth habit isn’t in your business…

…it’s in how you come home.

Most businesses are shouting at the wrong people.

In this solo Maven Monday episode, Brandon breaks down the most overlooked customer in your entire market. The one who isn’t ready yet… but absolutely will be. If your industry has a long buying cycle (think home services, healthcare, legal, or high-ticket purchases), this episode will challenge how you think about advertising, timing, and growth.

You’ll learn why chasing “today customers” turns marketing into a price war, and how the fastest-growing companies quietly win customers years before the sale ever happens.

This one's about building familiarity, trust, and preference long before your competitors show up.

If your marketing feels expensive, exhausting, or stuck in short-term thinking... this episode will reframe everything.

If advertising has started to feel frustrating, expensive, or harder than it should be, this episode is your reset.

In this Maven Monday conversation, Brandon Welch takes marketing back to the basics that actually drive growth: becoming known, liked, and trusted in your market. Not trends. Not hacks. Not chasing the next platform. Just the fundamentals that make people think of you first when it’s time to buy.

He breaks down why strong brands feel “easier” to grow, why everything gets more profitable once trust is established, and how businesses lose momentum when they abandon the basics too early.

If you’re tired of guessing, switching, or feeling like your ads should be working better than they are, this episode will help you refocus on what actually moves the needle.

Most businesses think branding is vague, expensive, and impossible to measure.
It’s not.

In this Maven Monday episode, Brandon and Caleb break down what brand strength actually looks like in the real world, and how to see it clearly inside your own data. 

They walk through the three Google Analytics metrics that reveal whether your business is becoming the one people think of first… or just another option in the pile.

You’ll learn why being easy to remember makes every other marketing dollar work harder, how direct traffic and conversion rates quietly signal trust, and why long-term growth shows up in trends…not spikes.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your marketing is building real momentum or just buying attention, this episode gives you the framework to tell the difference.

If your ads feel stale, you’re probably tempted to blow everything up.

New year. New platforms. New formats. New creative. New… something.

But in this Maven Monday episode, Brandon and Caleb push back on the most expensive marketing instinct there is: changing just to feel like you’re doing 

They unpack how action bias tricks business owners into bad switches, and why the best advertisers don’t chase novelty, they build memory, trust, and preference over time.

If you’re itching to switch things up, this episode will help you take a step back, focus, and fill one glass at a time.

Every January starts the same way.

Motivation is high, everyone’s announcing goals and convinced they’ve cracked it this time.

And then… real life shows up.

In this Maven Monday episode, Caleb Agee breaks down why most New Year’s resolutions fail, and shares a simple framework that actually survives February, March, and the chaos of everyday life.

This isn't some "new year, new me" motivational hype video.

It’s about building a system that creates real change over time.

You’ll hear how a quiet practice inside Frank & Maven has helped people reshape habits, pay off debt, regain health, start businesses, and become the kind of person they wanted to be (without burning out or starting over every year)

If you’re tired of motivation that fades and goals that never stick, this episode will give you a better way to think about change and a place to start that actually lasts.

What if the most powerful marketing tactic you’ll use this year has nothing to do with ads, funnels, or budgets?

In this Maven Monday, Brandon Welch and Caleb revisit a 90-year-old insight from Dale Carnegie that still outperforms most modern marketing tactics... and almost everyone overlooks it.

This episode isn’t about scripts, hacks, or manipulation. It’s about attention, respect, and the small human moments that quietly open doors, deepen trust, and change conversations.

If you sell, lead, manage people, or build relationships for a living, this is one of those ideas you’ll hear once and start noticing everywhere.

Simple. Timeless. Uncomfortably effective.

Most businesses will waste money in 2026. Here’s how not to be one of them.

In this Maven Monday, Brandon Welch and Caleb strip marketing back to what actually works after years of chaos and shiny objects.

This episode isn’t about trends, hacks, or predictions. It’s about the foundational decisions that separate businesses that grow steadily from those that constantly feel behind.

This conversation was sparked by a simple question Brandon posed to a business owner who felt overwhelmed by marketing: “If this were the last advice I ever gave you, what would actually matter?”

What followed became a practical, long-term framework for navigating 2026 with confidence.

If you’re tired of chasing the noise, second-guessing your spend, or feeling like marketing should be working better than it is, this episode will help you reset your perspective and focus on what truly compounds.

No shortcuts, just the principles that still work when everything else settles.

2026 is shaping up to be the year things finally settle, but that doesn’t mean marketing gets easier.

In this Maven Monday episode, Brandon and Caleb break down what they’re seeing on the front lines of annual planning season and why the way you build your 2026 marketing plan matters more than ever.

Costs are higher, customers are more selective, and attention is harder to earn—but the businesses that plan correctly now will have a massive advantage.

This isn’t about chasing trends or reinventing everything. It’s about knowing what to keep, what to adjust, and where smart companies are quietly doubling down while others hesitate.

If you want a marketing plan that’s steady, realistic, and built to win in a more disciplined market, this episode sets the table.

We’ll be back every Monday answering real-life marketing questions, because marketers who can’t teach you why are just a fancy lie.
