  • Literally the Only Marketing Podcast I Listen To

    I’m an artist, and you have to be careful with some marketing podcasts because the lessons don’t always apply to us—but this one does. The conversations are so relevant, and it’s refreshing to learn new ways to think and share that have nothing to do with social media.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

🍓 Rewilding Your Business & How to Rest in Busy Times — with Lindsay Mack of Tarot for the Wild Soul
Q: Could you tell me and the listeners, what is the something else of this book that you've written and why isn't it just a guidebook?
The book integrates a trauma-informed, present-m moment oriented approach with a rewilded relationship to the cards, offering interpretive frameworks that empower readers to engage with tarot as a living practice rather than a fixed system.
🔒 How Do I Grow My Email List Without Social Media?
Q: What advice do you have for moving an audience from Instagram to an email list while leaving social media behind?
The host offers practical ideas and mindset shifts learned from her own transition, emphasizing building trust, offering valuable content via email, and using the paid clubhouse as a pathway to deeper engagement and support.
👋 The Privilege of Leaving Social Media — Being a Working Writer & Valuing Art with River Selby
Q: So how do you feel about social media now from this place, with your book published and a PhD in progress?
River reflects conflicted feelings, acknowledging that while social media can offer a sense of agency and connection, it also fuels anxiety, comparison, and pressure to market oneself, making off-ramps and measured presence appealing.
👋 The Privilege of Leaving Social Media — Being a Working Writer & Valuing Art with River Selby
Q: I wanted to ask you if you might sort of take us in by just telling listeners, like, how did you get on social media, and what was your initial presence there like?
River describes growing up online with early poetry sites and blogs, then adopting platforms as they emerged, and eventually feeling the pull of performing online versus authentic writing, while recognizing the different dynamics of visibility and gatekeeping.
🔑 Why Privacy Matters (Even if Google Knows Everything) — with Patricia Egger, Head of Security for Proton
Q: What are some practical steps individuals can take to start improving their privacy without a full platform switch?
Two strategies: start with a product you don't currently use (like a password manager) to ease into privacy tools, and use a gradual switch with compatibility features like email import/m forwarding to avoid “all or nothing” shifts.
