    Your Marketing Isn’t the Problem. Your Business Might Be.

    Send us Fan Mail What if your marketing is doing exactly what it is supposed to do, but your business is getting in the way? When results fall short, it is easy to blame the ad, the platform, the creative, or the budget. But marketing does not stop when someone clicks an ad or fills out a form. What happens next can determine whether that marketing investment turns into revenue or disappears. In Episode 105 of The Glint Standard, we explore the marketing misfires that businesses often overlook. A confusing website can create unnecessary friction. A sales team that does not understand the current promotion can immediately damage trust. Slow follow-up can waste a valuable lead, while constantly chasing new prospects can distract businesses from thousands of opportunities already sitting in their databases. We also discuss why businesses can hurt their results by abandoning campaigns too quickly and why consistency and intentionality matter when building awareness. Then there is the episode's biggest marketing misfire: the story of a nine-year-old who accidentally spent $108,000 on YouTube ads promoting his Minecraft channel. It is an extreme example, but it raises an important point about advertising guardrails and what businesses do when marketing does not go according to plan. The larger lesson is simple: great marketing cannot compensate for a customer experience that is not ready to support it. Before you increase the budget, change the creative, or start another campaign, take a closer look at the entire customer journey. Your marketing may not be where the problem starts.

    Episode 104: AI Makes You Faster. It Doesn’t Make You Better.

    Send us Fan Mail AI can create an image, write an email, build an automation, and generate more content faster than ever. But increased output raises a bigger question for businesses: Are we actually creating better work, or are we simply creating it faster? In Episode 104 of The Glint Standard, we look at how AI is changing marketing and advertising from the perspective of people actually using it. We discuss where AI excels, why generic AI content can quickly undermine brand authenticity, and why human judgment matters more as the technology gets easier to use. We also explore one of our favorite ways to think about AI: treat it like a talented intern or apprentice. Give it direction, provide the right information, review its output, and make the final decisions yourself. AI can handle more of the execution, but strategy, creativity, and understanding your audience still need a human point of view. The real opportunity isn’t simply doing more. It’s deciding where AI can make you better and where you still need to slow down and think. Support the show
