  • The Invisible Customer: Why Your Best Buyers Never Like Your Posts.
    Apr 14 2026

    Your best customers are often invisible—they’re watching, but they aren't 'liking' your posts.

    In 2026, the digital landscape has never been noisier. Most entrepreneurs are stuck in a post-and-pray cycle, pumping out content for likes while their bank balances remain stagnant. But if your product isn't content creation, why are you acting like a full-time creator?

    In this episode of Wild Culture, I draw on my experience as a growth strategist to break down why the current algorithm is designed for the platform, not your profit. We explore the 4 Laws of Growth from my new book, The Experience-Suite, and why you need to stop chasing engagement to start scaling.

    In this episode:

    • The psychological reason customers avoid liking your posts.

    • The BS Detector: Why over-promising is killing your scale.

    • The 4 l Laws of Growth you won't find in a business textbook.

    • How to reclaim your time and focus on the only metrics that matter: traffic and sales.

  • How To Build A World-Class Strategy Using Journey Mapping
    Apr 1 2026

    “People don’t buy strategies. They buy experiences.”

    The world is in a pickle, and most leaders are trying to outsource their way out of it with expensive consultants and AI prompts. In this episode, Tanyika explains why the most effective strategic tool we have—Journey Mapping—is the one most leaders are too arrogant to use. While most leaders dismiss journey mapping as a customer experience exercise, it’s actually an honest look into the unseeable factors that make or break your business.

    Inside this episode:

    • The Fantasy Bubble: Why high-status strategies fail the moment they hit reality.

    • Logistics of Truth: Why you need a physical room, catering, and zero egos.

    • The Three Perspectives: Balancing the Customer, the User, and the Employee.

    • The Loyalty Loop: Why how you treat people after the sale is where the real profit is made.

  • The Survey Epidemic: Why Brands Are Killing Their Own Value
    Mar 17 2026

    Most market research is rubbish. Brands are obsessed with it, yet they’ve never been further away from understanding their customers.

    In this episode of Wild Culture, we’re stripping away the corporate fluff to look at why your inbox is flooded with "everything but the kitchen sink" surveys, and why they are actually destroying the value you’re trying to build.

    I’m breaking down the three types of research every leader needs to know, and more importantly, the three no-go zones that trigger a negativity response in your consumers and employees. If you want to move from "Did we get away with it?" to "Show us the money", you need to change how you study the people who keep your business alive.

    In this episode, we cover:

    • CUEs vs. BPDs: Why assets can’t feel, but people do.
    • The Amygdala Trigger: How bloated surveys turn your customers against you.
    • The 3 Research Buckets: Clarification, Ego-Checks, and Foresight.
    • Why Benchmarking is the Enemy of Innovation.
