Sometimes the smallest gesture creates the biggest return. In this episode, I talk about one of my favorite stories ever—where a simple act of gratitude turned into a massive business opportunity. This is for all the entrepreneurs out there who are obsessed with scale and tech... but might be sleeping on the old-school moves that build brand equity. This isn’t theory—it’s a real case study of how doing the unscalable can scale your business better than any ad campaign. I also break down the mindset you need to win in today’s economy: either go all in on social media or go all in on relationships. The middle? That’s where businesses die. 🎯 If you're in business, marketing, sales, or customer service... this episode is your reminder that being human still wins.

I’m bringing you one of the most impactful keynotes I’ve ever done—MY 2017 Q&A WITH THE DUTCH BROS COFFEE TEAM IN PORTLAND, OREGON. It’s been a fan-favorite for years and I totally understand why: the energy, the heart, the realness in this room was just unreal. No fluff—just practical, emotional, and deeply honest takes on leadership, burnout, ambition, and what it really means to care. This wasn’t just a speech—it was a back-and-forth with some of the most passionate people I’ve ever talked to.

This one’s for the marketers, brand builders, and business leaders still clinging to yesterday’s playbook. In this high-energy keynote and raw Q&A from the conference, I’m throwing punches—at outdated marketing models, bloated ad budgets, and the creative delusion plaguing our industry. We’re in the era now. Organic creative IS the strategy. If you’re not over-investing in social content, you’re being outflanked by companies that didn’t exist a year ago. No more disguising bad creative with fat media buys. In 2025, if it doesn’t hit organically, you don’t spend a dollar promoting it. Period. 👊 This is a call to DITCH THE DELUSION and start telling the truth—internally and externally.

AI is flipping the script on search—and most brands aren’t ready. In this episode, I sat down with Bloomberg to break down the shifts happening in digital marketing, thanks to AI-powered search engines, and how every brand—from Fortune 500s to startups—needs to urgently adapt. We talk about what Apple’s shift away from Google search really means, how AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Perplexity are changing consumer behavior, and why lazy marketers who rely too much on AdWords are going to lose.

In this keynote from the BizX conference, I go deep on the traits of successful business owners: resilience, adaptability, and the relentless pursuit of attention through content.
