Riding in a driverless car might not sound like the ideal place to kick off a marketing chat, but Jay Schwedelson and Daniel Murray made it work. Between sweating it out in a Waymo and figuring out how to breathe again, they got into why Reddit is one of the most powerful (and underused) platforms for marketers. From spotting trends before they hit the mainstream to actually listening in on real customer pain points, this episode shows why ignoring Reddit means missing big opportunities.
