SPECIAL SERIES: Underrated FREE Marketing Real Estate ( 🎶Jay Listens to Cyndi Lauper⁉️ ) | Bathroom Break #33 🚽
Look at your email signature. Does it have a CTA? Chances are, it doesn’t. And that’s PRIME real estate you’re missing out on. Daniel and Jay discuss Spotify Wrapped (why was Cyndi Lauper on Jay’s top artists for years?) and the sheer amount of people who see your email signature. From other employees to clients who engage with you the most, you gotta make sure your signature is optimized. It’s a brand touch point you probably don’t even think about. Plus, Daniel reveals his fourth most listened-to song is “Linger” by The Cranberries. Weird or valid? Who’s to say.

297 - The Step-by-Step YouTube Playbook with Ryan Hashemi, Founder + CEO at Snowball
We all know YouTube: we used to watch silly cat videos on it, then it turned into a real content viewing (and making) machine. But it’s almost 2025—and many marketers still aren’t using YouTube to their full potential. That’s where Ryan comes in with his research findings. Did you know long form content is still far more dominant on YouTube? How do you even get started on YouTube these days when it seems like TikTok and Reels are ruling the roost? Plus, Ryan talks about working with clients on their YouTube strategy and “packaging” which includes thumbnails. Why does packaging matter? What happens when you forget the correct packaging?

SPECIAL SERIES: Breaking Down Influencer Deals ( 🥞Team Pancakes or Team Waffles?) | Bathroom Break #32 🚽

288 - Underrated Marketing Psychology Bias (That Most Marketers Aren’t Using) with Dr. G
Did you know YOU are an influencer? Everyone technically is. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. G, current professor at Vanderbilt and consumer behavior expert to talk about bias, decision making, and ethics in marketing. We’re all human and we have biases, but how can we use it positively when we market products? Plus, you can actually gain market share by telling consumers they’re missing out on an attribute your product has. (Hint: think 5 Hour Energy…with no crash later.) This FOMO consumers feel? It could be your ticket to success. And, we continue the on-going conversation about influencer marketing: turns out, you actually don’t need millions of followers to influence others—and someone else doesn’t need millions of followers to influence YOU. Ever recommended makeup to a friend or bought a shirt because you saw a Facebook friend wear it? You’re an influencer and you’ve been influenced.
