Mark Jung, Founder at Known and LinkedIn growth expert, joins the podcast to break down how to win on LinkedIn in 2026, from the new positive-signal-only feed, the LLM-trained algorithm, to the bio changes nobody is talking about.

Listen to find out how your bio now matters more than your follower count, and how a brand-new creator with 50 followers can get the reach of someone with 50,000.

Plus, get the link, hook, and posting moves Mark and Daniel use, and what cohort seeding is (and why it's choosing who sees your content).

If your LinkedIn reach has dropped, your content performance feels inconsistent, or you're just tired of guessing what works, this episode is for you.

A logo on a jersey doesn't cut it anymore. So, how do the best brands decide if a sports sponsorship deal is worth the money?

Daniel sits down with a panel that's seen every side of the deal: Sam Kilgore of Sponsor United, Marquise Watts (Who's worked with Under Armor, Adidas, & the Minnesota Timberwolves), Chris Lobono of Athlete Driven Worldwide, and Elliot Christiansen of Cleveland Construction.
They get into why "the logo slap" is dying and what's replacing it, how brands move at the speed of culture (see Levi's cutout logo and the Heinz tape at the World Cup), and the real way to measure ROI when only 28% of fans can name a jersey patch.

Plus Marquise's rule for every deal he touches: all money ain't good money.
If you're a Marketer who wants to make sponsorships actually pay off, this episode is for YOU.

There's a way to pull the most viral posts in your niche in about 10 seconds. But a lot of Marketers don't know it exists.
In this Bathroom Break, Jay and Daniel break down how to mine X (formerly Twitter) for viral content you can actually use. Daniel shares the exact Grok prompt he uses to surface trending posts from the last 48 hours. Jay walks through X's advanced search, and the "min_faves" trick that filters for only the posts hitting your engagement threshold. Then they go deeper: filtering by retweets, comments, date ranges, and media type to see exactly which hooks are landing.

Plus: a lost loafer mystery, a linen shirt betrayal, and Jay's full descent into his "embarrassing loser phase."
If you're a Marketer who wants a repeatable way to find what content actually works, this episode is for YOU.

Adam McQueen of Klue built an entire in-house media network, the Compete Network, to prove B2B brands (and their content) don't have to be boring.
He sits down with guest host Tamara Grominsky on why people follow people, not brands, and how to make B2B content people actually want to watch.
Plus the "plumbing" that keeps a lean team shipping, and the "trophy room" trick Adam uses to prove ROI when there's no clean dollar figure.

Is SEO dead? Ross Simmonds, CEO & Founder of Foundation Marketing, says that's the wrong fight. In today's episode, Ross breaks down AI search, AEO, and how to get your brand cited by ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity. He also asks the real question: what happens AFTER you publish.
Also: why Reddit is STILL the most underrated channel in Marketing, how to measure your AI visibility (from share of voice, to referral traffic, and the "how did you hear about us" trick), and the 1 silo problem invisibly killing most marketing teams.
If you're a Marketer who wants to get found in AI search without drowning in content slop, this episode is for YOU.

Are there Marketing "best practices" costing you signups? (Yes.)

Jay and Daniel call out 2 email tactics that are officially dying: double opt-in + requiring a work email to access your content. Jay breaks down the data on how double opt-in loses you 30 to 40% of your list AND spikes spam complaints. Daniel makes the case for personal emails over business ones (and why gating content behind a work address tanks conversions and retargeting). Plus, a Bob the Builder origin story, 1 demoralizing dorm dresser, and why a kid's toy needs 10 tools you probably don't own.
If you're a Marketer who wants to stop following rules that hurt your list, this episode is for YOU.

What happens when customers stop visiting your website and start buying straight from an AI chat?
Ryan Gavin, CMO at Slack (part of Salesforce), joins Daniel to break down how AI agents are rewriting the Marketing playbook, from lead routing to content QA to the agent first internet.
Plus: how 1 engineering agent saved a quarter of a million hours, how Ryan's team grades every piece of content with AI before it ever hits his inbox, and how every Marketer can shift gears from manual "doer" to strategic orchestrator.

If execution is cheap now, what should Marketers really be getting paid for?
Marvin Chow runs Marketing for Search, Gemini, and AI at Google, and he says the hire of the year is a Marketing engineer: a Marketer who thinks like a systems architect (not a project manager. Love you, project managers.).
He breaks down the "barbell" reshaping every Marketing team, why taste and judgment are suddenly the premium skills, and how to actually show up in AI search as SEO, AEO, and GEO collapse into one. Plus, his brand bank rule and the AI sparring trick that puts Ogilvy and Olivia Pope on your board of directors.

Did you notice? The copy-paste era just ended. Jay and Daniel break down the "AI watch out era": Claude and ChatGPT are now baking watermarks into the text and images they generate, so your AI content can get spotted the second it goes live.

Also: why this might actually be good news if you can make original work, why Claude just became a 1st-draft tool instead of a shortcut, and the Canva and screenshot moves Jay swears are still sailing past the detectors. (Plus beignet-related powdered sugar chaos and a cautionary tale about boarding a flight without your travel buddy.)
If you're a Marketer who wants to keep using AI without getting dinged for it, this episode is for YOU.

Andrew LeRay, Director of Brand Marketing at NWSL, is trying to close the gap between people who instantly recognize those four letters and people who still ask what they stand for.
He breaks down where building a brand for a sports league is different than building 1 for a product, how the players become the brand, and how a Call Her Daddy cameo and a hydration partnership with Alex Cooper's Unwell became one of the league's biggest growth unlocks.
Plus what changes when you go from a 150-year legacy brand like MLB to a self-described challenger brand only 3 years into its current era, and the Marketing hill Andrew will die on.

What if your whole Marketing plan was really just 1 big math problem?
Amanda Cole, CMO at Bloomreach, breaks down pipeline math: how to start with a revenue number and work backwards to the win rate, budget, and headcount that'll get you there.
Plus, why she plans off median win rate instead of the average, and why she splits targets when a vertical converts seven points lower than the core.
She and Daniel also get into how pipeline math turns a tense sales negotiation into a calm one. (Want 10x coverage? Here's what it costs you in reps you can't hire.)
Finally, she makes the case that briefs don't matter anymore, why she handed her CEO direct access to the data and stopped writing reports (including the AI stack behind it all).
