Parenting hacks, diaper duty, and unsubscribe spikes all in one bathroom break? Yep. Jay Schwedelson and Daniel Murray manage to mix dad life with marketing reality in this episode, digging into why unsubscribes peak at the end of the year and what smart marketers should (and shouldn’t) do about it. It’s funny, a little chaotic, and surprisingly reassuring if you’ve ever stared at your dashboard panicking over lost subscribers.
