- Why More Content Isn't the Answer with Brendan Hufford
Brendan Hufford built his career by making a lot of content. But now that AI has made it easier than ever to produce blogs, videos, and everything in between, volume alone isn't much of a competitive advantage.
Brendan, founder of Growth Sprints, joins Chris Savage to rethink what makes content worth creating. They explore how to build an audience that actually comes back, why depth and original ideas matter more than ever, where AI belongs in the creative process, and how taste and conviction can help brands make something only they could make.

39 min - When the Smart Marketing Move Looks Irrational with Phill Agnew
Sometimes the smartest marketing ideas are the ones that look irrational on paper. But behavioral science can explain why they work.
Nudge host Phill Agnew joins Chris to unpack the psychology behind some of marketing’s most counterintuitive ideas. Like: Why did Red Bull charge more for a smaller can? Why did Avis advertise that it was #2? And why might spending millions on a Super Bowl ad actually make the ad more effective?
From making more small bets to admitting your weaknesses, Phill explains why understanding how people actually behave can lead marketers to some pretty unexpected conclusions.

50 min - AI Slop the Fight to Keep Social Human
Can you actually tell when a post was written by AI—and should it matter?
In this special episode, Wistia’s social media team joins the conversation about LinkedIn’s “Seems like AI slop” reporting option and what it reveals about trust, authenticity, and the changing attention economy.
The group explores why real content is increasingly mistaken for AI, how visible effort and expertise build credibility, and where brands should preserve the human voice while using AI to work more efficiently. They also discuss niche communities, creative risk-taking, and why experimentation needs to be followed by transparency.
The takeaway: The most useful question isn’t whether AI was involved. It’s whether a real person brought judgment, care, and a meaningful point of view to the work.

47 min - Building Customer Relationships in the Age of AI (with Klaviyo’s Jake Cohen)
What separates a brand that feels like it gets you from one that just feels creepy? According to Jake Cohen, VP at Klaviyo, it's not the AI model — it's the context you give it.
In this episode of Talkin' Too Loud, Jake breaks down how leading brands are using AI agents to create genuinely helpful, human-feeling customer experiences at scale. We get into the mechanics of LLMs (without the jargon), why most automations are built backwards, and what the best marketers understand about human nature that the rest miss.
In this episode:
- Why context management is the most underrated skill in AI marketing
- The difference between "pull" and "push" experiences — and why that distinction changes everything
- What a great in-store conversation has to do with your email automations
- How B2C CRM is about to reshape the way B2B brands think about their customers
- Jake's essential reading list for marketers navigating the AI era
Whether you're building automations in Klaviyo, experimenting with AI agents, or just trying to make your brand communications feel less robotic — this one's worth your time.
