- Incredible
I can’t remember how I stumbled across this podcast, but I’m so happy I did! I’ve always been curious about why certain things are marketed the way they are and this podcast makes it fun and easy to understand why things are the way they are. Why we are pushed to purchase certain things or leave certain philosophies. It really has opened my eyes as a consumer, but not in a cynical way. 10 out of 10 this podcast is amazing.
It is well researched, and well written! Keep it up

I’ve been listening since day one, and cannot wait to see where it goes!

I'm gobbling these up. I had no idea it was about marketing and stuff - cause I'm no genius- but the information is absolutely fascinating and I feel like I have fodder to wow at the team meeting. Keep it up. Your voice and cadence is heavily.
