Maker Mixtapes Tom Whatley

Josh McMillan is the CTO of Contact, a simple model booking platform that’s disrupting not only the way talent is sourced and booked, but how fairly they’re paid and compensated. We cover how his time at brands like Deliver shaped him into the software engineer and product creator he is today, what goes into leading a team of developers and product designers, and how to make sure they develop professionally when joining your startup. We also talk about his work at Poolside.fm, one of my favourite apps on the internet, and how they landed on the unique and delightful aesthetic it’s well known for today.

Jack Butcher is the founder of Visualize Value, where he's built a community of nearly 3,000 builders, entrepreneurs, and founders, providing them with principle-based courses that teach people the foundations of design, building audiences, and so much more. Here, we talk about how Jack grew his audience from 5,000 to over 110,000 followers in under 12 months, what he learned from running a design agency, and how he’s sold his work in the form of NFTs for the Etherium equivalent of $10,000.

Andy Whyte is the founder of MEDDICC, where he’s written a book, produced a course, and creates incredibly in-depth content around the sales methodology of the same name. Here, we talk about applying this methodology to build customer trust, how he self-published his book, and building a niche YouTube channel that averages 2,000 views per video.

Corey Haines is the founder of SwipeFiles, a newsletter and community that provides new marketing ideas from brands who have done it. We chat about how he manages multiple projects, creating content on Twitter, the future of communities, and applying new marketing approaches from other industries—sharing how he did just this with Calendly competitor SavvyCal.

Jason Bradwell is Senior Marketing and Communications Director at Deltatre, a technology partner for sports and entertainment brands that take care of, well, almost anything technology-related you can think of. Jason and I talk about how his background in theatre and sales contributed to his success as a marketing leader, the importance of B2B branding, and why B2B companies should be experimenting with channels like Twitch.

Kerstin Reichert is the SEO Digital Marketing Manager at Tide, a fintech company in the UK offering small business current accounts, company registration services, and much more. We talk about Kerstin’s time leading SEO at TSB, how this compares to life at a fast-paced fintech startup, and how she goes about building SEO architecture from the ground up.
