From why some creators convert while others don't, to the difference between being relatable versus aspirational, we explore the hidden dynamics behind audience growth, b...

Most influencer marketing is built for reach, but B2B influence is built for something far more powerful: real business results.

We dig into LinkedIn’s Creator Marketplace, what makes creator-brand relationships actually work...

Most viral content spikes and disappears. Some of it actually builds something.

In this episode, Sophie Miller, founder of Pretty Little Marketer, joins me to get into what separates the two. We break down her big door, small room framework - the strategy behind content that casts a wide net without losing the plot - and why virality and intention don't have to be opposites.

We also get into the vanity metrics debate and why your pla...

Comment sections used to be an afterthought. Now they shape how content spreads, how brands are perceived, and what actually sticks online.

In this episode, I’m joined by Brett Dashevsky, co-founder of Siftsy, to get into how comment sections have evolved into one of the most influential (and chaotic) signals on the internet. We break down how reactions, memes, and tone in the comments can drive perception in real time —...

Cancel culture shows up fast — and disappears just as quickly. Some people lose everything. Others barely flinch.

In this episode, Qetsiyah Jacobson, founder of Unserious, joins me to get into what actually determines who gets “cancelled” and who doesn’t. We break down the role of fanbases, parasocial loyalty, and the infrastructure behind someone’s brand — and why the same behavior can have compl...
