Marketing has a reputation problem. It’s seen as manipulative, salesy, and—let’s be real—kind of gross. But does it have to be? In this episode, I’m unpacking why marketing gives us the ick and how we can approach it in a way that actually feels good. No slimy tactics, no weird persuasion hacks, just real human connection.
In this voicemail:Scaling vulnerability (without making it cringe)Why marketing is like that unexpected slug in my kitchen (ew) How the best teachers and creators "manipulate" us (but in a good way)
Plus, a side quest into personal branding and why it’s not about dulling yourself down to fit a mold, but amplifying what actually resonates.
If you’ve ever wrestled with feeling too much or not enough in your work, or wondered how to share without feeling like a villain in a sci-fi movie, this one's for you.
Also, RIP to that poor slug.
