What do you get when you mix hats, social media channels, and a bunch of dads?
Bart Szaniewski and his buddies created Dad Gang with the mission of bringing dads together with cool hats. At first, it was all about creativity. And then it blossomed into multiple channels and multiple dads sharing their stories. Copy and captions became even more important. Hats were being sold faster than they could make them. How can you develop FOMO in your audience? It’s as easy as creating a sense of urgency for your next drop.
Plus, Bart reveals how using a private Facebook group may be the key to hearing more from your audience.
And, Dad Gang recently launched an app and is using SMS. What are some pros and cons of implementing these ideas at your brand?
If you’re a marketer who wants to learn more about scaling via social media or how SMS and apps can further your brand’s presence, this is the episode for you.

Think about all the acronyms you use as a Marketer: BOFU, TTM, CAC, the list goes on. You and your coworkers might know what they mean, but the general population doesn’t. So, this episode is all about the importance of keeping things simple and easy to understand.
Daniel mentions his general rule: make sure your copy is written so simply that a five-year-old can read it. If you’re talking over people’s heads or using language they can’t understand, it won’t convert. Jay mentions that you don’t want to embarrass anyone, so avoiding acronyms and complicated language is a great start.
Plus, how does describing a dish at a restaurant relate to content marketing? Jay gives an example.
This short ‘n sweet Bathroom Break is all about keeping it simple so everyone’s on the same page. 🚽

Daniel’s solo and he’s gonna teach you how to write better.
You need a hook or something that’s going to really capture attention. (Most people decide if they’re gonna read something within the first two seconds.) Then, cut the fluff. You don’t need flowery language or fancy writing to get the job done.
Plus, do you really need a stronger opinion, or will your audience read anyway? Daniel says yes to the former and reveals why.
If you’re looking to sharpen your writing skills, this is the episode for YOU. ✏️

Healthcare is a HUGE industry. Marketing it is even bigger. How do you make sure it's effective?
This episode’s guest, Andrea Becker, has seen it all during her 25 years in the healthcare marketing industry. And the KEY that hasn’t changed is trust. People’s health is no joke, and neither is access to care, information about symptoms, and tips and tricks. How can you build trust within your content? How do you make your content stand out amongst all the noise and (sometimes fake) information?
Plus, the biggest challenge of healthcare marketing is that there’s SO much, including insurance companies and laws about advertising, that varies by area and even social media platform.
And, healthcare marketing is using AI to its benefit. But it’s nothing to freak out about; Andrea reveals nothing will ever really be fully automated in the industry.
If you’re a marketer who wants to learn more about the healthcare space and how it differs between generations, countries, and more, this is the episode for you.

Think about your company’s merch and swag bags. They could use a refresh, right? Who wants another mug with your logo or a battery pack that won’t charge anything?
Jay reveals the biggest mistake when it comes to merch: contests. Why? You need to give people the perception that they actually have a chance to win the item.
Plus, Daniel talks about how your items need to BE creative if you want to be seen as a creative brand. If not, there’s a good chance it’ll end up being unmemorable and in a landfill somewhere.
This short ‘n sweet Bathroom Break is all about giveaways, fun little trinkets, and how you can get everyone excited about repping your brand. 🚽

How do you create trust between your brand and its audience? How do you get people to truly know what you’re all about?
Google something right now. What’s the first thing that pops up on the page? In the past, you’d say a website link or shopping suggestions. But now, you get AI summaries, suggestions, and more. We’ve got Marcus Sheridan to break down what’s happening and how SEO is transforming alongside AI capabilities. If your business is built on solely Google Ads and Google Search, it’s time to venture out and seek AI-focused strategies.
And, Marcus talks about the buyer's journey and how it’s evolving. Gone are the days of needing a quote and requesting via form. Instead, companies are realizing that being upfront and transparent about cost are doing much better than those who don’t—and it’s all a part of a customer-featured self service model.
Plus, how should companies measure and track success? The reality is that we can’t actually measure as accurately as we’d like to, BUT there’s so many ways to reframe success.
If you’re a marketer who wants to level up your brand’s AI game and keep up with what’s happening with the latest in UX/CX, this is the episode for you.

We have an “in.” And she’s giving us the deets on everyone’s favorite platform, LinkedIn.
Unlike other platforms, LinkedIn is all about businesses, professionals, and industry information. So when all of these things come together, there’s so much to talk about. Alex Rynne, Senior Content Marketing Manager at LinkedIn, has seen it all in her 10+ years at the company. From profile faux pas to scaling B2B brands, she’s seen it ebb and flow. What are the mistakes that brands are making? Why should (or shouldn’t) a brand have a page?
And, Alex shares that video is here to stay on LinkedIn. What kind of videos should be posted? What’s the general consensus on short form video? (Hint: LinkedIn will never be TikTok. And that’s perfectly fine.)
Plus, what’s up with all the random commenting? Daniel and Alex share how commenting on others’ posts can really make a difference in engagement.

LinkedIn made some changes. Have you noticed?
Daniel and Jay are tackling Marketers’ favorite platform, LinkedIn. From new features on their newsletter capabilities to going deeper in email, there are little nooks and crannies to keep note of.

Now that events are back in-person, are you going to them?
This episode’s guest, Aya Robinson of Opry Entertainment Group, shares why going to events in your community is more than just about showing up. It’s a way to interact with and learn from the people near you. For example, when Aya moved to Nashville, she was able to attend events with associations like the local American Marketing Association chapter. It’s a great way to meet new people if you’re new to the job or the area in general.
Plus, outreach is a huge part of growing local organizations. If you’re in charge of your organization or club, how do you expand? Who should you contact? The answer is usually the marketing teams at related companies.
And, Aya shares some pretty valuable advice about reaching out to others, even if you feel hesitant.
If you’re a marketer who wants to grow your network and create meaningful connections beyond just LinkedIn, this is the episode for you.

It feels like influencers have been around forever: from QVC presenters to modern TikTok UGC creators, we’re surrounded by them all the time. But there’s still lots to learn about where influencer marketing could go in the future.
Ryan Roth is the Assistant Manager of Social Media and Influencer Marketing at Peter Thomas Roth Clinical Skincare, a brand that’s in the highly competitive skincare market. With the help of Dr. Oz and some creators online, the brand went viral and Ryan had a realization: influencers are salespeople.
The key to growth and buzz? Seeding. It’s the fastest, cheapest way, especially for Peter Thomas Roth’s products.
Also, let’s talk about TikTok shop. It may seem daunting at first because everyone’s using it, but it actually helped their brand sell hundreds of thousands worth of product by being a first mover in that space. How can you cut through the noise and be successful?
And, how do you vet influencers for your brand? Why does packaging matter when you send items to your influencers?
If you’re a marketer who wants to scale via influencer marketing, this is the episode for you.

Do you really have to love what you do, so it won’t feel like working? Are you overthinking everything in your life? Does anyone actually care about the Oscars or are we all just pretending to care?
This week, Jay and Daniel discuss ridiculous (and even downright stupid) sayings about life and work—and how living your life by them may actually be unreasonable. Loving your job 100% of the time actually leads to negativity. Overthinking things isn’t necessarily bad or good. Not everything is meant to be scaled.
Plus, what’s the secret sauce to connecting with someone else in your personal life and at work?

Take a look at your tech stack. It needs some cleaning, right?
Spring is weeks away, but Daniel’s already thinking about spring cleaning: decluttering your tech stack should be at the top of your list. It cuts dead weight, makes things more efficient, and saves money in general. What are you using? What are you NOT using? Take some inventory of what’s going on and what you can consolidate.
Plus, many teams are running multiple automation tools when you really only need one. Which one should you ditch?
And, your tech stack shouldn’t just work for TODAY. Think about the future. When you scale, will your stack follow? Or will you need to move to something else? What your team says about the tools also has a ton of weight on these decisions.
If you’re looking to clean some things up, this is the episode for YOU. 🧹

Online marketing is changing every day. Are you keeping up with it?
Amy Porterfield is an online marketing expert, consultant, and podcast host. Dedicated to helping people scale through email marketing, content creation, and even entrepreneurship, Amy has been in the biz for almost two decades... It’s changed a LOT.
The key to keeping up? Personalization strategies. It may seem simple, but it’s super effective: it drives customer loyalty and creates trust. Creating a personalized experience at any touchpoint makes customers feel like you know exactly what they need.
Also, having a large following doesn’t always equate to large sales. There’s a lot of noise on the internet, and it’s getting even noisier. How can you turn those followers into paying customers?
And, podcasting is the backbone of Amy’s business. When you create a podcast, you have the opportunity to segue your other platforms into it. It’s a huge asset to building your brand.
If you’re a marketer who wants to scale BIG this year, this is the episode for you.

Are your landing pages GOOD? Probably. Are they converting? Well…
Jay and Daniel are talking pages: landing pages, destination pages, pages people click on after seeing your ad, etc. You may get attention, but are users turning that attention into intention? You may be missing just a simple CTA or personalized element.
Jay also adds that these pages are a great way to show social proof. Have any big name companies as clients? Show them off. Did anyone leave a super positive testimonial? Put it on there.

Merch is still a valuable marketing tool in 2025, BUT it’s gotten way past pens and mugs with your branding on it. How can you level up your merch game and still be authentic?
This episode’s guest is Savannah Dmytriw, aka Merch Girly. From new hire kits to awards and recognition items, Savannah believes merch doesn’t just celebrate but adds to everyone’s brand marketing experience. Most importantly, she believes that good merch shouldn’t end up in a trashcan—and you should agree. What does your audience want, and what need could you fill? What’s unique but not crazy and random?
Plus, your company employees are some of your most valuable marketing assets. Are you giving them company merch that you’re proud of, or is it just another lame drink tumbler? Merch is also a great way to get your new hires excited about working with you—how do you make it feel even more special?
And, Savannah reveals the latest trends in merch—anyone care for their own personal tree?

The secret ingredient to success in the food industry isn’t a secret... it actually lies with your customers.
In this episode, Daniel chats with Jessica Serrano, the mastermind behind the New York chain of locally farmed and fresh, fast-casual restaurants. From using in-season ingredients to making items from scratch, it’s proved to be a hit. Jessica says they rely on inbound messages from customers about their experiences, what they liked and didn’t like, etc. to improve the menu. Will introducing AI help streamline this process? It’s a possibility.
Plus, never doubt the ability of word of mouth. It’s played a key role in Dig’s branding and drives more people to try it out. How do you convert non-vegetable lovers into trying a Dig meal? How does protein drive those customers to come in?
And, Jessica reveals the most underrated and profitable food items on the menu, and you’ve probably already had them.
If you’re into good food, marketing good food, or in need of motivation to eat a vegetable, this is the episode for YOU. 🥬🍗🥦

There’s a TON of value in having a newsletter.
There are two main reasons why: it establishes a brand, and it’s an ongoing stream of information and thought leadership. Think about the newsletters you’re subscribed to—they serve a purpose and offer you content you wouldn’t otherwise have.
Daniel says they’re expertise-builders, and Jay says it’s a way to establish real estate in your audience’s minds. How do you create meaningful content? Do you need to have an already existing podcast or following of some sort to get your newsletter off the ground?
This short ‘n sweet Bathroom Break is all about why a newsletter can take your brand from 0 to 100—and how, in the age of TikTok and Reels, newsletters are still great to have. 🚽

Marketing products seems pretty straightforward... until you get to the cannabis industry. It’s heavily regulated. States have different laws. What are the best practices for it?
Our guest Mike Tebb knows the ins and outs of cannabis marketing. From knowing rules and regulations to making sure you’re 107% sure about every marketing decision, it can be tough. Mike’s rule? Get really close to breaking the rules, and THEN take two steps back.
Plus, storytelling with the cannabis industry poses some challenges, especially when it comes to social media platforms’ terms and conditions. Did you know that promoting cannabis is against Instagram’s policies? Mike shares how he and his team get creative to find a solution around it.

Don’t believe everything you hear: YouTube (especially with its Shorts feature) isn’t dead or going downhill anytime soon. Just ask this week’s guest, Avi Shenkar.
YouTube is a great platform for a mix of news and behind the scenes content. From product reviews to education, the creative opportunities are endless. What’s the REAL best cheesesteak in Philly? Avi tells us how he learned from a video that it’s not Pat’s or Geno’s. (And without viewing that video, he wouldn’t have had the best cheesesteak ever.)
Plus, you can reformat your textual content, like articles, into videos. Everything is a remix, and that’s a way to grow your content library, share your thoughts, and circle back. However, there’s a balance between quality viewers and people who’ll view your content briefly. How do you get them to stick around?
And, brands are making a huge mistake on YouTube—find out what Avi has to say about it.
If you’re on the fence about scaling your brand on YouTube or exploring video options for your brand, this is the episode for YOU.

You’re not going to click with every client. So, what’s the right way to break up with them?
Daniel and Jay share their experiences with parting ways with clients—sometimes, they ask for too much or the vision just isn’t there. Maybe communication is lacking. Any way you put it, it’s time to say goodbye when value isn’t on the same page.
Jay reveals he tries to minimize saying “bye” from the jump, and that means transparency and setting expectations from the very beginning. Should you increase your minimums? Who gets final say in contractual obligations?
This short ‘n sweet Bathroom Break is all about breaking up the right way—and how it’s changing as we move forward. 🚽
