Your marketing mentor & biggest cheerleader, here to share the real, messy, beautiful truth about what it takes to level up your marketing, productivity, and confidence.

We're talking award-winning campaigns that started as complete disasters, the late-night brainstorms that changed everything, and the systems that actually move the needle (plus the epic fails that taught me the most). Because here's what I know for sure: success doesn't happen in isolation. It's about building marketing strategies that work, creating unshakeable confidence for the big scary moments, and using productivity systems that achieve your marketing goals. No matter where you are in your journey - from graduate to director - this podcast is for ambitious marketers ready to stop playing small and embrace the mess of figuring things out to have a successful and fulfilling marketing career.

142: Using AI Without the Overwhelm Spiral: How I Actually Save Time as a Marketer
3/10/2026
A lot has changed in how we use AI at work, so it was time to update this one.
In this refreshed 2026 episode, I’m sharing how I actually use AI in my marketing role to save time, without falling into the overwhelm spiral that so many of us hit when tools evolve faster than our workflows.
This isn’t about shiny new features or doing everything in ChatGPT. It’s about:
I’m also sharing the moment I realised AI wasn’t making me more productive and what I changed to fix it.
If it’s been a while since you last rethought how you use AI at work, consider this your reset.

141: How Stop Dreading Presenting to Senior Leadership and Start Crushing Them
3/3/2026
Presenting to your peers? You've got plenty of practice. But presenting to senior leadership? That's a whole different game and you don't get those small "micro moments" to build confidence first.
In this episode, I'm sharing the strategies I've learned over 12 years of presenting to boards, executives, and senior leadership, including my cringe-worthy first board presentation.
Whether you're pitching a campaign, presenting next year's strategy, or asking for budget approval, this episode will help you walk into that room with unshakeable confidence.
I'm pulling back the curtain on what actually works in the boardroom, from the preparation most people skip, to the critical mistakes that tank even great ideas, to the one thing you must do before you leave that room. This isn't theory; it's what I've learned from 12 years of these high-stakes moments.

140: How to Run Productive Marketing Meetings That Build Real Momentum
2/24/2026
I’ve been in thousands of marketing meetings, internal, external, agency-side, client-side. I’ve led campaign launches, budget approvals, influencer briefings… you name it.
Some of those meetings were magic… some were not!
And there was a point in my career when 5–6 hours of my day were just meetings. So I had two options: figure out how to make them productive or let them hijack my calendar and momentum.
This episode is the no-fluff breakdown of how I lead meetings now. From setup to follow-through, I’m sharing the systems and mindset shifts that helped me turn meetings into one of the most effective parts of my week without burning out my team or myself.
If meetings are draining your best hours, it’s time to take the lead and change how they run. You don’t need a new calendar tool. You need this.
Because in marketing, your meetings are your momentum and how you run them says everything about how you lead.

139 How to Lead (Not Just Survive) Campaign Launch Day
2/17/2026
Campaign launch day is one of the most high-pressure moments in a marketer's calendar. Whether it's Black Friday, a global product drop, or a brand campaign you've been building for months, this is when everything you've prepared either flies or falls apart.
And here's what no one tells you: your energy on that day matters just as much as the project plan.
I'm breaking down my five-layer framework for showing up calm, clear, and ready to lead when the pressure is on. This isn't a tactical checklist, it's about how to prepare yourself, your team, and your energy so you can handle whatever launch day throws at you.
Expect real stories from chaotic launches, practical ways to manage anxiety in the moment, and the mindset shifts that turn panic into powerful leadership.
Because the thing that makes or breaks launch day? It's not the campaign. It's you.

138: Big Game Commercials 2026: Marketing Lessons You Can Steal
2/10/2026
The Big Game commercials are basically the Olympics of marketing: massive budgets, insane pressure, and the whole internet judging your work in real time.
In this episode, we’re breaking down the best, worst, weirdest, and most genius commercials from this years biggest American Football game of the year (we can't say the real name!) and turning them into actually useful marketing takeaways you can apply to your campaigns, content, and brand strategy this week. You’ll hear what worked, what didn’t, and the patterns behind both from hook speed and brand clarity to why “vibes” and celebrity cameos don’t automatically equal a great concept.

I'm walking you through my Confidence Stack: the layered prep that helps you show up clearer, calmer, and a whole lot more powerful in every interview.

128: When Being 'Too Productive' Backfires as a Marketer
12/2/2025
I'm really good at being productive, it's honestly one of my strongest professional skills after 12 years of practice. So why did I completely ignore everything I know and have one of the most chaotic Mondays in recent memory?
In this episode, I share the story of how I skipped all my usual productivity guardrails, tried to power through everything at once, and ended up running the worst team meeting of my career.
But here's what I really learned: productivity isn't just about managing your tasks, it's about managing your energy. And that Monday was a masterclass in what happens when you ignore both.
This one's for the marketing professionals who know exactly what they should do to stay productive and organised... but sometimes do the complete opposite anyway.
We'll dive into why energy management might be even more important than time management, and how understanding your natural rhythms can make or break your most productive intentions.

127: Presenting Internally: How to Stop Dreading It and Start Owning It
11/25/2025
Presenting internally (to your peers) is one of the hardest skills to get right, because you’re speaking to people who do what you do. And neither of my marketing degrees prepared me for that.
BUT if you can nail the small presenting moments - those quick updates, team stand-ups, or project check-ins, then you are halfway there. They build the confidence you need for the big ones. Like presenting your new campaign idea to 20+ marketers at the quarterly off site.
In this episode, I’m sharing the story of my first internal presentation disaster, the mindset shift that helped me stop dreading these moments, and how to use the everyday to build confidence for the bigger presentations.
If internal presentations make you spiral, this one’s for you.
