The Marketing Millennials

Most Marketers are using AI to generate. The ones winning right now are using it to interrogate.

Jay breaks down a two-minute tactic he's been running with clients: go to all five major LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, and Grok) and ask each one for the top 50 questions people are asking about your product or service. Then cross-reference the outputs to find what shows up on every platform. Those overlapping questions are your go-to-market. Your blog titles, your podcast topics, your offer angles, your webinar hooks — all of it, handed to you by the market itself.

Daniel adds his own layer: before you let AI anywhere near your copy, write it yourself first. Then feed it in and ask AI to critique it through the lens of the greatest copywriters and strategists who ever lived. What would the legends say about your hook? Your offer? Your opening line? That's how you use AI as a refinement partner instead of a crutch — and the difference in output is night and day.

The bigger idea: AI isn't the shortcut most Marketers think it is. Used right, it's the smartest pressure test in the room.

If you want AI prompts that actually change what you ship, 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 integrate it with your other platforms. 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.

What does it take to market a restaurant that tells its guests there's nothing to see here?

Milo Frank, Senior Director of Marketing at H Wood Group, has spent over a decade building one of the most recognizable hospitality brands in the country, home to Delilah, The Nice Guy, and a whole lot of surprises no one saw coming.

And Milo breaks down how H Wood approaches launching in a new market, from scouting 15 to 20 venues in 48 hours to identifying the right local crowd before a single door opens.

Plus, why the brand's no photos policy and unannounced performances aren't just vibes, they're a deliberate Marketing strategy built around FOMO, word of mouth, and making people feel like they're in on something nobody else knows about.

If you're a Marketer who wants to learn how to build buzz, own a market, and turn hospitality into a growth engine, this is the episode for you.

Everyone's talking about AI slop. But is it really an AI problem, or is it a tool problem?

Adam Creeger, CTO at Slate, and Michael Horton, co-founder and CEO, have seen this from every angle, from Meta's video feed to the social media managers creating content on the fly for major brands. And their take is refreshingly honest: most tools right now just aren't built for professionals who actually care about quality.

And they break down the 80/20 framework for AI content creation, why AI should handle the tedious 80% so you can spend more time perfecting the last 20% that actually makes content stand out.

Plus, why brand guardrails in AI aren't about limiting creativity, they're more like a GPS that lets you take the scenic route and still find your way back.

If you're a Marketer who wants to use AI to create better content without sacrificing your brand voice, this is the episode for you.

If you're making Marketing decisions based on your email open rates and click numbers, you might be working with completely made up data.

Jay and Daniel break down the bot problem that's quietly inflating every metric in your ESP, and why those garbage scores are exactly why your BDRs and SDRs hate the leads they're getting. Daniel explains why his newsletter uses a honeypot link at the top just to measure how much bot activity is happening, and why clicks should never be the end goal anyway.

They also make the case for zero click content and no agenda Marketing: giving your audience real value without asking for anything in return, so when they are finally ready to buy, you are the first brand they think of.
