And, they explore how holding onto a bad idea can drain budgets, tank morale, and stop better ideas from getting the attention they deserve. How do you pick things up when it seems like a failure? This short ‘n sweet Bathroom Break is all about going when the going gets tough. 🚽 Follow Jay: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/schwedelson/ Podcast: Do This, Not That Follow Daniel: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themarketingmillennials/featured Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/Dmurr68 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-murray-marketing Sign up for The Marketing Millennials newsletter: www.workweek.com/brand/the-marketing-millennials Daniel is a Workweek friend, working to produce amazing podcasts.

    Aug 8 2025
    When Sandy Mangat joined Pocus as its first go-to-market hire, there was no brand, no messaging, and only a Webflow template and a Fiverr logo to start with. Daniel’s out, Tamara is IN…and she’s got a special guest and startup Marketer Sandy Mangat. They talk about the realities of being a startup’s first Marketer: how to decide where to focus when everything feels urgent and why brand and demand aren’t separate. As a solo marketer at a seed-stage startup, Sandy had to balance big-picture strategy while building a category, a community, and a cult following from the ground up. How do you start from scratch? Plus, why is “delusional optimism” the best skill to have? Sandy walks us through her mindset. If you’ve ever started from the ground up or love building brands from scratch, this is the episode for YOU.

  • The Truth About Templates | Bathroom Break #67 🚽

    The Truth About Templates | Bathroom Break #67 🚽
    Aug 4 2025
    Templates suck. Daniel and Jay dive into how templates (like the ones you find on Canva and Illustrator) may actually be hurting your content, not helping it. Relying on cookie-cutter templates, whether for email, social media, or design, can make your brand invisible. When everyone’s using the same templates, how can you stand out? Daniel argues that people subconsciously scroll past templates on social feeds because they look like everything else. Jay even says breaking patterns and not doing what everyone else is doing is the real key to standing out in social or email. Plus, is it a greater conversation about formulaic thinking? This short ‘n sweet Bathroom Break is all about getting creative and thinking outside of the box. 🚽 Follow Jay: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/schwedelson/ Podcast: Do This, Not That Follow Daniel: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themarketingmillennials/featured Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/Dmurr68 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-murray-marketing Sign up for The Marketing Millennials newsletter: www.workweek.com/brand/the-marketing-millennials Daniel is a Workweek friend, working to produce amazing podcasts.

    How to Win with Zero Click Content with Amanda Natividad, VP Marketing at SparkToro | Ep. 336
    Aug 1 2025
    If your content isn’t getting clicks, it might not be broken. It might be brilliant. You’re just measuring it wrong. Daniel sits down with Amanda Natividad, VP of Marketing at SparkToro and the creator of the now-legendary concept “zero click content.” They break down how to develop world-class marketing taste, why linkless content wins, and what most teams misunderstand about modern content strategy. Amanda unpacks the origins of zero click marketing, how she turned a casual comment into a viral framework, and why content that lives natively on social is more powerful (and measurable) than you think. She and Daniel explore how to reverse-engineer content that sparks DMs, shares, and real-world conversations, not just vanity metrics. And, how do you align your team to define “good” if everyone has differing opinions? If you’ve ever struggled to justify social ROI, align your boss around modern KPIs, or just want to create content that makes your audience say “holy sh*t, that’s me,” this episode is your playbook.
