  • TMDP 067: Why NO ONE is safe from AI with Christopher S. Penn

    Christopher S. Penn bridges the gap between marketing and technology. What he shares on social media and writes about on his blog helps you understand marketing and technology better. He’s a better coder than most marketers, and a better marketer than most coders. By having one foot in both worlds, he finds solutions that work in one place and brings them to the other – including you.

    He speaks publicly about digital marketing, marketing technology, and machine learning/artificial intelligence. He’s the co-founder of Brain+Trust Insights, a data analytics company focused on helping you make more money with your data, a co-founder of PodCamp with Chris Brogan, and co-host of the Marketing Over Coffee podcast with John Wall.

    Follow Christopher on Twitter at @cspenn. He can also be found on LinkedIn and the Marketing Over Coffee group.

     

    You’ll Learn:

    • Christopher’s career evolution from a pure technology background to marketing technology or MarTech.
    • Why Christopher believes there’s a lot wrong with current Influencer Marketing.
    • Content Marketing always had a cover charge, but it’s a lot higher if your content sucks. What you create has got to be better than the alternatives.
    • Why Facebook won’t win the fight against #FakeNews
    • Humans must make sure historical bias doesn’t affect machine learning by being model checkers.

     

    3 Key Points: 

    1. NO ONE is safe from the coming AI revolution!
    2. You must remain flexible and willing to adapt quickly because the industry changes so rapidly.
    3. You can’t be left-brained or right-brained anymore. You need both analytical and creative skills.

  • TMDP 065: Why Digital Discernment is a Life Skill

    It’s been one whole year since this podcast launched on 03-JAN-3017. It would be dishonest of me to say I’m not pleasantly shocked we made it this far. A big THANK YOU to all my guests and supporters for helping me make it this far.

    During a given season I ask all my guests the same questions. And while that might sound boring, when you ask everyone the same questions it allows you to chart the answers and apply statistical analysis methodologies. 

    One of the more sensitive questions I ask it about #FakeNews and Facebook’s response to this issue on its platform. The answers run the gamut, but on the whole professional marketers are largely unsympathetic. I have a bit more empathy as I argue that #DigitalDiscernment is a life skill with the 2016 U.S. Presidential election being a prime example of why that is.

     

    You’ll Learn: 

    • Why I ask my guests the same set of questions.
    • Why guest 53 Isiah Fowler feels we as individuls were responsible for #FakeNews
    • Why guest 57 Joe Pulizzi feel Facebook is a media company and as such has a higher degree of responsibility for the #FakeNews issue.

     

    3 Key Points: 

    1. You can’t, or at least shouldn’t begrudge people for not having a skill that they don’t know is a skill.
    2. #DigitalDiscernment is a skill.
    3. You’re not dumb; you were duped. #FakeNews is a complex issue and the layperson was taken advantage of.

  • TMDP 061: The Value of The Thirst For Knowledge with Ron Grant

    Ron Grant is an accomplished, focused professional with a diverse set of skills and experience in the fields of for-profit and non-profit public relations, brand communication and journalism. He has a formidable track record of strengthening a company’s overall brand messaging through skillful business communication, resourceful use of social media, and focused customer service.

    His specialties include composing press and news releases, web journalism, blogging, Internet marketing and PR, customer service, branding consulting, promotions, media public affairs, campaign creation and management, and special event coordination.

    Follow Ron on Twitter at @rontheeron. He can also be found on LinkedIn and writing for ShowsIGoTo.com.

     

    You’ll Learn: 

    • How Ron transitioned from the non-profit sector as a PR professional to the for-profit sector and freelance journalism.
    • The essential questions to ask that will lead to wisdom and ensure your skillset never becomes outdated.
    • Brands seeking to latch onto youth culture need to think long term with their influencer marketing programs, not just as a transaction.

     

    3 Key Points:

    2. The “soft-skill” of networking can’t be avoided or overstated. Learning that art is an absolute must.

  • TMDP 060: The Gospel of Gary Vaynerchuk Pt. 2

    In part one I explored what I call “The Gospel of Gary Vee”, and gave my perspective on the views of both held by Alexis P. Morgan and Douglas Karr. In this episode I’m going to make the point that Gary’s message is often weaponized and used in an offensive manner in the same way the Christian gospel was used as a weapon during the bloody historical period known as The Crusades.

    I also highlight a viral, $100 To The Winner Of The Race, and provide perspective as to why Gary receives such a strong reaction from individuals like myself and Alexis P. Morgan.

     

    You’ll Learn:

    • How Gary Vaynerchuk’s message of personal accountability gets taken out of context and used as a weapon.
    • Why I had a falling out with a mastermind member who prescribed to Gary’s way of thinking.
    • How white privilege compromises some individuals ability to empathize (not sympathize but empathize) and give good advice.
    • Where the deep seated frustration with Gary’s gospel comes from.

     

    3 Key Points:

    1. Gary’s message gets abused by his followers to attack people in the same way the Christian Gospel was used to shed blood during the historical period of The Crusades.
    2. Personal accountability is not a license to be racially insensitive. The stakes are high and people have died.
    3. “Privilege blinds because is it the nature of privilege to blind.” ~ Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.

  • TMDP 059: Playing the Branding Game with Rob Crews

    Rob Crews is a data-driven marketing executive who builds brands, teams and profitability. In his most recent roles at Ovation and Church's Chicken, Rob is hired by PE firms to serve on senior management team and lead turnaround, rebranding, develop strategies and execute plans to reverse severe sales declines. In both instances he dramatically impacted sales trends and at Ovation Brands, the existing owners were able to monetize and exit the business.

    Follow Rob on Twitter at @robcrews. He can also be found on LinkedIn.

     

    You’ll Learn: 

    • How the study of economics ultimately influenced Rob to pursue a career in marketing.
    • Why marketers should always be on either extreme and never get caught in the “murky middle”.
    • Why non-marketers struggle to understand the value of a good marketing professional, no matter how much you quantify it.
    • How the overemphasis on the mechanics of marketing can lead to the death of good storytelling.
    • Why #DigitalDiscernment is now a matter of civic duty because democracy demands an educated populous.

     

    3 Key Points:

    1. The power of a brand name on your resume is always stronger than the skillsets you possess.
    2. There’s always gap between the work you can perform and the work you can sell yourself into; play the brand game.
    3. Lifelong learning is table stakes. Marketing has evolved to where no one person can ever know it all.

    • Why Joey is so staunchly against censorship on Facebook despite the scourge of #FakeNews.

     

    3 Key Points: 

    1. Focus on core values and surround yourself with like-minded people.
    2. Businesses exist to solve problems, but most new entrepreneurs fail to diagnose the proper problem.
    3. The online segregation of people into silos for marketing purposes causes division and makes it difficult to punch through people’s echo chamber.
