Welcome to "Beyond Marketing," a podcast where we break free from the ordinary and dive headfirst into the extraordinary world of marketing. If you're as weary as I am of the same old marketing jargon and predictable strategies, then this podcast is your escape hatch into the wild, uncharted territories of creativity. I'm your host, Jim Rodin, a marketing enthusiast with an unquenchable thirst for innovation. Join me and my guests as we embark on an exhilarating journey that goes beyond the norms, beyond the expected, and way beyond the conventional marketing playbook.
Most B2B companies run ads expecting leads… and end up disappointed.
In this episode, I break down why B2B advertising doesn’t work the way people think - and why it’s not actually the ads that are the problem.
You’ll learn:
Most people think marketing is about tactics — but we’ve found it usually comes down to something much simpler.
In this episode, we explore the idea of the “marketing triangle” and why time, money, and knowledge are the three variables that quietly shape every result. We talk about what happens when one of them is missing, why throwing money at marketing can backfire, and how to make smarter decisions depending on where you are.
It’s...
It’s tempting to hit pause — especially when budgets get tight and results don’t feel immediate.
In this episode, we unpack why stopping SEO isn’t just a break, but often a step backwards. We talk about how visibility really works, why consistency quietly compounds over time, and what actually happens when you disappear while your competitors keep going. We also explore smarter ways to scale down without losing everything you’ve bui...
We often assume that when campaigns don’t work, the problem is in the ads. But more often, the real issue starts after the click.
In this episode, we talk about why landing pages quietly kill conversions — and how small mismatches, friction, and unclear paths to action cost you real money. We explore what actually makes people take action once they land, and why “pretty ads” won’t save a broken experience.
Tune in if you’ve ever wond...
Most companies treat the FAQ section like a boring afterthought — something purely informational that sits quietly at the bottom of a page. But when we look closer, it turns out this simple section can have a real impact on sales, trust, and even how visible your brand is in search and AI tools.
In this episode, we talk about why unanswered questions are often the real reason people don’t buy, and how a well-designed FAQ can remove ...
Gender marketing sounds simple — until you look at how people actually make decisions.
In this episode, we explore where gender-based strategies still make sense, where they become risky, and why rigid divisions often miss how buying decisions really happen. We talk about emotions, functionality, multiple decision-makers, and the thin line between insight and stereotype. If you’ve ever wondered whether gender targeting helps your br...
Marketing agencies as we know them were built for a very different world — one where most work had to be done manually, by large teams, over long timelines.
In this episode, we explore how AI is quietly reshaping not just tools and workflows, but the entire idea of what an agency actually is. We talk about the shift from service providers to problem-solving teams, why smaller, more flexible setups may win, and what skills will matte...
What if great leadership starts with the idea that you’re not special? In this episode, we explore the Scandinavian concept of Janteloven and how its principles of humility, equality, and quiet responsibility shape the way teams communicate, make decisions, and build trust.
We reflect on how this mindset clashes with hustle culture and personal branding — and where it might actually offer a healthier, more sustainable approach to wo...
Some marketing works instantly. Other marketing takes months to even begin.
In this episode, we explore why B2B and B2C operate in completely different worlds — from trust and long-term relationships to attention, entertainment, and fast decisions. We reflect on why so many campaigns fail simply because the strategy doesn’t match the reality of the buyer.
Tune in if you’ve ever felt that “good marketing” still wasn’t getting the righ...
Everyone says their target audience is the CEO — but that’s rarely how buying decisions actually happen.
In this episode, we explore who really drives B2B choices inside companies, why executive-focused campaigns often burn budget, and when targeting the top actually makes sense. We talk about internal champions, real decision dynamics, and the quiet role of teams that shape outcomes long before a CEO gets involved.
Tune in if you’ve...
In this episode of Beyond Marketing, we take a step back from tactics and look at why websites stop converting — even when they look “fine” on the surface. We explore how visibility, speed, first impressions, trust signals, and clear actions quietly shape decisions long before someone clicks a button.
Along the way, we reflect on how search, social platforms, and AI tools are changing what a website is actually for today. If your tr...
We’ve all seen it — people showing up to conferences hoping something will “just happen.” In this episode, we explore why that mindset usually fails, especially in B2B, and why real results come from the work done long before you step into the venue.
We talk about preparation, meaningful outreach, and how being genuinely useful can open more doors than any elevator pitch ever will. It’s a conversation about patience, intention, and ...
This episode isn’t really about microphones, software, or tools — it’s about removing friction and actually getting things done.
We talk about the gear and setup behind Beyond Marketing, why “good enough” often beats “perfect,” and how overcomplicating your process can quietly kill momentum. Along the way, we explore the mindset behind choosing simple tools, building repeatable habits, and focusing on consistency over optimization.
T...
Two years in, we take a step back and reflect on what podcasting really teaches you once the initial excitement fades.
We talk about consistency, audience quality over vanity metrics, why guests change the game, and how a podcast becomes a tool — not a goal in itself. This isn’t a how-to guide, but a collection of observations you only get by recording, publishing, and sticking with it.
Tune in if you’re building something long-term ...

AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Copilot are quickly becoming the new search engines — and they’re already shaping how customers discover brands, choose vendors, and make buying decisions. The question is no longer “Should my company care about AI?” but rather: “What can I do so these AI systems actually recommend my business?”
In this episode, we break down the key factors that influence how AI tools evaluate, rank, and sugge...
We explore the three things every business should never delegate — no matter how good the agency pitch sounds. From sales and customer support to authentic content creation, we talk about what happens when companies try to outsource what makes them human. It’s a conversation about control, credibility, and the real cost of convenience.
Tune in if you’ve ever wondered where to draw the line between marketing and the heart of your...
Let’s be honest — not every marketing agency plays fair.
In this episode of Beyond Marketing, we'll break down the three biggest sins of marketing agencies that every business owner should watch out for.
I’ve seen it all — the fake reports, the contracts that trap you, and the broken promises that destroy trust.
We’ll talk about:
1️⃣ Agencies that sell illusions instead of results.
2️⃣ Those that lock clients in with sha...
Everyone talks about quality — but what if quality isn’t what really matters?
In this episode, Dmitry Andrzej Rodzin challenges one of the biggest myths in business: that quality alone wins clients.
Through real-life stories and sharp insights, he explains why timeliness and communication often matter more than perfection itself.
Because a flawless product delivered too late is worthless — just like a perfect wedding cake arriving...
Choosing a company name sounds simple — until you actually have to do it.
In this episode, I walk you through 10 essential questions you should ask yourself before you commit to a name.
We’ll talk about:
whether your service or product should be part of the name,
when it makes sense to use your own last name (and when it doesn’t),
how domain availability and name length can affect your clicks,
how to check for trademarks and soci...
