Tired of chasing clicks and conversions that don’t convert?

In this episode of Is Anything Real in Paid Advertising?, host Adam W. Barney sits down with Jared Tang, Founder & CEO of Gaggle Social, to talk about breaking the cycle of ad dependency and building brands that grow on real connection, not rented reach.


💡 What We Cover:

  • Escaping the paid-media hamster wheel
  • How organic storytelling compounds faster than spend
  • The LinkedIn content loops that actually drive sales
  • Why most founders confuse activity with attention
  • Building authentic demand vs algorithm dopamine

🎧 This one’s for founders, marketers, and growth leaders ready to detox from “more ads = more growth” thinking.
