This isn’t just a podcast episode; it’s a heartfelt journey through the digital landscapes that shape our lives and fuel our passions.

Podcasting, Social Media & Generative AI in Digital Marketing.

Hello, you digital mavericks and trailblazing creatives! Welcome to another riveting edition of my podcast, where the conversation knows no bounds, and the insights come fast and furious. This time, I sat down with none other than Jordan Behan, a maestro in the world of digital marketing and authentic engagement. The result? A dialogue that transcended conventional norms and delved deep into the intricacies of digital strategy, entrepreneurship, and the future of podcasting.

The Current Landscape of Podcasting

Remember the golden days when podcasting was the new kid on the block? Well, those days are long gone. My buddy Dave Olsen in Japan recently weighed in on the influx of celebrity podcasts—calling them an overkill. Jordan and I agree that podcasting has evolved. It’s not just a playground for celebrities but a democratic platform where voices from all walks of life can be heard. So, what’s your take? Do you think podcasting has lost its original charm, or has it matured into a versatile medium?

The Importance of Authentic Engagement in Digital Marketing

Let’s cut to the chase—digital marketing isn’t just about amassing numbers; it’s about connecting on a human level. Jordan hit the nail on the head when he discussed the importance of authentic engagement. You can have the most sophisticated algorithms, but if you’re not resonating with real people, you’re just playing a numbers game. This is where user experience comes into play—make your digital strategy human-centric, and the numbers will follow.

Entrepreneurship and the Spirit of Disruption

Ah, the sweet aroma of entrepreneurial spirit! Both Jordan and I have ventured into the rough seas of startups, aiming to disrupt rather than conform. Disruption doesn’t mean tearing down the old but innovating new approaches that make the old obsolete. What’s the secret sauce to a successful venture? Adaptability—knowing when to pivot, when to persevere, and when to hit the accelerator.

Social Media: Beyond the Tool

We’ve all seen them—brands that use social media as just another advertising channel, missing its true essence. Social media is not a tool; it’s a stage for meaningful engagement. Jordan and I dived into some classic examples where brands either nailed it or failed it. The takeaway? Be real, be engaging, and let your brand personality shine through.

The Toolbox for Success

A craftsman is only as good as his tools. Jordan, being a wizard in public relations and public speaking, emphasized the value of having a versatile toolbox. But let’s not forget, skills like photo editing, location scouting, and digital asset management are the unsung heroes—integral cogs in the wheel that is my creative universe.

Wrapping it Up

So there you have it—digital marketing isn’t just about algorithms and analytics; it’s about understanding the human element. Podcasting isn’t dying; it’s evolving. Entrepreneurship isn’t just about breaking the rules; it’s about making new ones. And social media? It’s not a tool; it’s a platform for genuine human connection.

As we venture further into this digital age, let’s not forget the core elements that make us human. So, what’s your disruption story? Are you using your tools to build bridges or barriers?
