  • Gatekeep this from your competitors.

    I can’t believe they put this much information out here for free. Informational, educational, applicable. Every episode I listen to has a direct impact on my company’s marketing success because of all the learnings (thanks, boys!). Also the best way to learn about brands to watch out for on IG that might not be on your algorithm.

    Their IG pages are just as great

  • Phenomenal

    These boys know what they are talking about, no gatekeeping and they just talk through ideas, you get a proper understanding of the ideas and if you want to apply a little creativity, you can take the ideas and implement them to your business.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How to Build a $200M App Without Showing your Face w/ Chris Josephs
Q: How are you approaching paid first, and then we'll get into UGC second?
We see a three-stage path: start with brute-force founder-led content to reach early milestones, scale with a handful of proven pages, and then primarily use paid to scale, while integrating UGC and creator ecosystems to sustain growth.
The Genius Who Forces Unknown Artists to Go Viral w/ Steve Cardigan
Q: What are the smartest artists doing behind the scenes to blow up?
They're building multiple fan accounts, posting consistently with three daily posts, and creating an ecosystem where clips from shows feed back into streams and social proof, amplifying their reach.
The Genius Who Forces Unknown Artists to Go Viral w/ Steve Cardigan
Q: So that's super interesting. And so if you were an artist just getting started, how would you try and grow?
The core strategy centers on creating your own content, leveraging clip-based storytelling, and using the audience you build to drive events and collaborations; act fast with content and use the right channels to reach dedicated fanbases.
Why Founder Led Brands are Breaking Ecommerce w/ Devon Levesque
Q: How did you leverage your personal brands in marketing without relying on traditional ads in the early years?
We focused on organic growth, hosted events, leveraged word-of-mouth, and created a strong community around the product, which built trust and provided a natural onboarding path for customers before scaling with paid channels later.
Why Founder Led Brands are Breaking Ecommerce w/ Devon Levesque
Q: What was the major inflection point for Promix and how did you approach product development?
The baobab-based gut health product (D-Blo) represented a low-friction entry that resonated with consumers, driven by a compelling origin story from Africa, natural ingredients, and a three-week triple-blind clinical trial showing digestive benefits, which helped establish Promix as a trusted, science-informed brand.
