On Marketing

Meet Mark Rogers 👋

He's the Director of Content Marketing at Freshpaint.

Mark has over a decade of experience leading marketing and content for organizations and within agencies.

In this episode, we talk about:

- Why marketing's job is to be the preferred solution

- Where SEO and content marketing are headed

- And why empathy, paired with a change of mind/action, is so critical

A fun aside: I met Mark during an interview process back in 2024, where he passed me. Thankfully, I left a good impression, and we've stayed in touch since.

I hope you enjoy the episode :)

In this book review, I cover Seth's newest book (and maybe worst-written one).

It's a collection of nudges or musings on strategy that are barely tied together. Yet it still delivers progress in thinking better about strategy.

In the episode, I share:

• An overview of What Is Strategy
• A few caveats 
• 5 insights/learnings 
• 3 reflection questions

With AI, strategic thinking has never been more critical.

This book has some of the answers on how to get better.

Enjoy the episode :)

Let me know what book you want covered next 👇
