| Recipes for Demand: Patrick Cumming on thought Leadership, LinkedIn reality, and measurement | 26 Sep 2025 | 00:43:39 | |
Head of Marketing Patrick Cumming (KlientBoost) joins Chris Nelson to unpack how to market a marketing agency and why being your own ICP changes everything. Patrick lifts the lid on KlientBoost Kitchen, a media-style engine that ships “recipe” playbooks across YouTube, podcasts, newsletters and LinkedIn carousels. He breaks down thought leadership that links to product, when thought leader ads outperform, and why LinkedIn video needs a new playbook. Then it gets tactical: fixing content that fails (ego vs relevance), choosing design that performs over pretty, and measuring brand with his “Measurement Trident”, media mix modelling, geo-based lift tests and validation over the right time horizon. If you care about human-first content that still drives pipeline, this is your blueprint.

| Michelle J. Raymond on LinkedIn’s Algorithm, AI, and Company Pages that Actually Work | 11 Sep 2025 | 00:55:14 | |
LinkedIn strategist and author Michelle J. Raymond joins host Chris Nelson to unpack what’s really working on the platform right now. Michelle shares her path from B2B sales to building a thriving LinkedIn community, why podcasting drives the most loyal clients, and how to repurpose one recording into newsletters, shorts, and search-friendly YouTube content. We dig into the recent LinkedIn algorithm shift (lower impressions, higher relevance), what video formats are worth your time, and how to use AI for efficiency without losing your voice. Michelle also lays out a practical playbook for company pages, the “Power of Two” (brand + person), simple page wins that build trust, and why a live, credible page can tip deals your way. If you care about human-first content, measurable growth, and protecting brand trust in the AI era, this episode is a keeper.

| Be Positively Lovely: Joe Glover on Community, Live Content, and Using AI Without Losing Trust | 13 Aug 2025 | 00:51:57 | |
Joe Glover, founder of The Marketing Meetup, joins Chris Nelson to unpack how a fear of traditional networking became a global community of 250,000 marketers. Joe shares the story behind TMM’s “be positively lovely” ethos, why in-person events are resurging, and how webinars and podcasts extend education and reach. We dive into practical live-stream tactics (chat culture, global audience, repurposing), the shift to a podcast-first thread for higher-quality social clips, and where AI helps (translation, smart inserts) versus hurts (avatars and fake podcasts that damage trust). If you care about building community, humanising your brand, and using AI thoughtfully, this conversation is a playbook for modern B2B marketers.
