Trust Before Tactics | Building Digital Businesses with Josh Sanderford


Listen Later

Nic Padilla sits down with digital marketer Josh Sanderford for a conversation about modern online business. Together, they look at how curiosity and confidence can shape the future of one’s entire career. Josh shares how a childhood love for photography and design led him into the world of marketing. This came with asking for opportunities and not being afraid of people “above” or “below” him, which became a defining trait in his business.

Josh then shares about his journey building sustainable digital businesses in an era of constant platform change. From running Google Ads and SEO to creating automated SaaS systems, he explains why simplicity, relationships, and consistency matter in the long run. Nic and Josh highlight the long game of trust—showing up when no one is watching, building human connections, and being known for doing one thing well. This conversation shows what it takes to grow in marketing without losing the human side of the work.
