Purpose-driven marketing might be leading us down "The Road to Hell." Renowned UK copywriter Nick Asbury debates the popular notion that businesses must embrace a social purpose to thrive. Drawing from his provocative book, Nick critiques the rise of purpose-driven marketing that gained traction post-2008. He argues that merging profit motives with altruistic intentions can result in ineffective branding and societal drawbacks. In our conversation, we explore why it's essential to distinguish between for-profit and not-for-profit organizations and how creativity might offer a more adaptive path to success.

With Latina fans driving a staggering $26.3 billion in annual sports-related spending, Jennifer Blandel, co-founder and COO of Drafted, joins us to talk about the huge opportunity this consumer segment represents for brands.

- the common misconceptions and cultural gaps in sports marketing

- how Latina fans' preferences differ from traditional expectations
