Podcast appearances

Listed in my recommended listening order.

Smarter Marketer (Round 1)

In this podcast I talk about:

  • What’s beyond niching down, now that everyone's done it.

  • The "best practice" tactics that accidentally commoditise you.

  • How Trump's 2016 campaign used positioning → messaging → copywriting to dominate (and what that teaches B2B service firms)

Smarter Marketer (Round 1)

RevThinking

In this podcast I talk about:

  • When a perspective matters, and when it doesn't.

  • The step-by-step process I use to develop perspectives with clients

  • Real-world examples of the process and results in action

RevThinking podcast

AgencyForward

This one was different - the host is also an agency advisor, so we swapped notes on:

  • How agencies should (and shouldn't) position themselves

  • What agencies must do now that AI made execution fast and cheap

  • The specific channels & tactics we're both bullish on

Exotic Matter

In this podcast I talk about:

  • The steps to craft a perspective that's not just unique, but useful

  • How one agency hit $21M in 3 years by becoming known for their perspective, not their niche

  • How to make your perspective impossible to copy (even when competitors try)

Exotic Matter podcast

Smarter Marketer (Round 2)

I was invited back onto Smarter Marketer to get tactical. We talk about:

  • The Three-Part Perspective Framework: Offer Clarity → Value Articulation → Perspective

  • How to get stakeholders bought into a new perspective (without pitching it to them)

  • Why leading with pain points attracts low-value, difficult clients - and what to lead with instead.
