Business isn't everything

We've made a huge mistake

This week we're celebrating our vulnerability - and how it's led to some of our most successful email marketing campaigns. All great marketing needs you to be open with your customers, especially if you're a small business. Yet so many business owners are afraid to put themselves out there (warts and all). It can be scary, we get it. But with email marketing, there's no other way if you want your customers to stay subscribed and active members of your list. If you hadn't guessed - yes, we talk about emails A LOT in this episode. If you're already a fan of email marketing, awesome, enjoy. If not, let us show you why it could become your most lucrative marketing asset ever (if you're willing to put in the time). This is a public episode.

Being weird is a legitimate business strategy

This week, we make the case that the weird thing you got teased for as a kid might be the most valuable asset you bring to a business. We also explain why trying to be "better" than your competitors is a losing game, and why leaning into what makes you different (even when it feels uncomfortable) is the only real strategy worth having.

Business isn't everything

Charles Burdett and Jacob Welby from Pip Decks talk about the version of running a business that nobody writes books about - the one where you actually have a life. They also chat about: a lollipop lady making $15,000 a month from a hand-drawn zine, why AI is making everyone's marketing taste identical (and how to use that to your advantage), as well as the Seth Godin quote that's secretly behind Pip Decks' success.
