  93. Marketing templates, formulas, and AI slop 22.09.2026 12min

  A lot of business marketing advice promises clarity: find your niche, define your positioning, choose your content pillars, follow the strategy. But sometimes what feels like clarity is actually false resolution. Somebody gives you an answer, your anxiety drops, and you mistake that relief for knowing what’s actually right for your business. But what if the uncertainty you’re trying to get rid of is actually building discernment and coherence? Listen to hear more about: Why so much business a...

  90. You should write a book. Here's the ADHD-friendly way 01.09.2026 18min

  This episode is just me yelling at you to PLEASE GO WRITE YOUR BOOK. (Plus some genius tips on how to actually get it done.) For most of human history, the ability to record and spread your ideas was only reserved for the most privileged few.

If you have a book inside of you, you k...

  83. How to become a content machine 30.07.2026 22min

  A friend once asked whether I secretly have an army of content producers behind me. After all, how else could one person put out that much? Of course, I don't. The thing that produces all of it isn't extraordinary talent, or having a ton of time. It's a specific way I choose to think about myself. And you can adopt the same mindset. This is a re-release from 2019, the fifth episode of my very first podcast ever, and everything in it is still exactly how I work, and exactly what I'd recommend....
