Templates suck.  Daniel and Jay dive into how templates (like the ones you find on Canva and Illustrator) may actually be hurting your content, not helping it. Relying on cookie-cutter templates, whether for email, social media, or design, can make your brand invisible. When everyone’s using the same templates, how can you stand out? Daniel argues that people subconsciously scroll past templates on social feeds because they loo...

Why does having too many followers look sketchy to others? Dani...

Do waitlists even matter to customers anymore? Or are they a waste of time? Daniel says it depends, but basically, lists are important in marketing. Getting email addresses of important people (including people that are interested in your brand) should always be a priority.

It’s time to talk about customer and market segmentation - no math needed. For now, at least. What exactly is the MAP framework? Tamara breaks it down. It stands for measure volume, analyze performance, and prioritize potential, so you can determine who your highest-potential customers are. It helps you focus your marketing tactics and shape your roadmaps.  But what does measuring volume even mean? Daniel reveals that a lot o...

Do testimonials and reviews actually sway people’s opinions of your product?  According to Daniel, you NEED social proof on your website, and Jay agrees. But you don’t want anything generic because it’ll sound weird and forced. Instead, you’ll want testimonials that are specific. Think: “This product cut our costs down by 150%,” or something similar. You want to show impact.  Also, what do your logos and landing pages look li...

Price is a form of psychology all on its own…but how do you determine how much your product should cost? You know how some brands will base product price off of what their competitors are doing? Or how some just throw a price out there? Tamara has a hot take: neither of these are good strategies. So, Daniel brings up some points: validation and pressure testing.  Plus, Tamara shares the  Van Westendorp Pricing Test, a framewo...

It’s no secret that AI is super helpful. But how do Daniel and Jay use it? It’s more than just about asking ChatGPT questions or telling it to summarize blocks of text. In Daniel’s case, he uses it to repurpose podcast transcripts into multiple forms of content. (Work smarter, not harder, besties.)
