    Drive Around The Block

    Send a text You’ve been giving the best of you away all day. To clients, problems, deadlines, and the grind of building something meaningful. But what happens when you walk through the front door? In this short Maven Monday episode, Brandon shares a simple habit called “Drive Around the Block” A practical reset that helps small business owners create work-life balance, separate stress from home, and show up with real presence for the people who matter most. This is about building healthy rhythms, protecting your family time, and creating more harmony between entrepreneurship and real life.  Because the big dream isn’t worth it if you lose yourself or your relationships along the way. A reminder for every leader: sometimes the most powerful growth habit isn’t in your business… …it’s in how you come home.

    Your Most Overlooked Customer

    Send us a text Most businesses are shouting at the wrong people. In this solo Maven Monday episode, Brandon breaks down the most overlooked customer in your entire market. The one who isn’t ready yet… but absolutely will be. If your industry has a long buying cycle (think home services, healthcare, legal, or high-ticket purchases), this episode will challenge how you think about advertising, timing, and growth. You’ll learn why chasing “today customers” turns marketing into a price war, and how the fastest-growing companies quietly win customers years before the sale ever happens. This one's about building familiarity, trust, and preference long before your competitors show up. If your marketing feels expensive, exhausting, or stuck in short-term thinking... this episode will reframe everything.

    Frustrated with Advertising? Take it Back to These Basics

    Send us a text If advertising has started to feel frustrating, expensive, or harder than it should be, this episode is your reset. In this Maven Monday conversation, Brandon Welch takes marketing back to the basics that actually drive growth: becoming known, liked, and trusted in your market. Not trends. Not hacks. Not chasing the next platform. Just the fundamentals that make people think of you first when it’s time to buy. He breaks down why strong brands feel “easier” to grow, why everything gets more profitable once trust is established, and how businesses lose momentum when they abandon the basics too early. If you’re tired of guessing, switching, or feeling like your ads should be working better than they are, this episode will help you refocus on what actually moves the needle.

    How Strong Is Your Business? (3 Google Analytics Clues)

    Send us a text Most businesses think branding is vague, expensive, and impossible to measure. It’s not. In this Maven Monday episode, Brandon and Caleb break down what brand strength actually looks like in the real world, and how to see it clearly inside your own data.  They walk through the three Google Analytics metrics that reveal whether your business is becoming the one people think of first… or just another option in the pile. You’ll learn why being easy to remember makes every other marketing dollar work harder, how direct traffic and conversion rates quietly signal trust, and why long-term growth shows up in trends…not spikes. If you’ve ever wondered whether your marketing is building real momentum or just buying attention, this episode gives you the framework to tell the difference.

    Are People Getting Bored of Your Ads?

    Send us a text If your ads feel stale, you’re probably tempted to blow everything up. New year. New platforms. New formats. New creative. New… something. But in this Maven Monday episode, Brandon and Caleb push back on the most expensive marketing instinct there is: changing just to feel like you’re doing  They unpack how action bias tricks business owners into bad switches, and why the best advertisers don’t chase novelty, they build memory, trust, and preference over time. If you’re itching to switch things up, this episode will help you take a step back, focus, and fill one glass at a time. Do you have a marketing problem you'd like us to help solve?

    Why Your New Year’s Resolutions Always Fail (And the 100-Day Fix)

    Send us a text Every January starts the same way. Motivation is high, everyone’s announcing goals and convinced they’ve cracked it this time. And then… real life shows up. In this Maven Monday episode, Caleb Agee breaks down why most New Year’s resolutions fail, and shares a simple framework that actually survives February, March, and the chaos of everyday life. This isn't some "new year, new me" motivational hype video. It’s about building a system that creates real change over time. You’ll hear how a quiet practice inside Frank & Maven has helped people reshape habits, pay off debt, regain health, start businesses, and become the kind of person they wanted to be (without burning out or starting over every year) If you’re tired of motivation that fades and goals that never stick, this episode will give you a better way to think about change and a place to start that actually lasts.

    Our 2026 Marketing Resolution

    Send us a text What if the most powerful marketing tactic you’ll use this year has nothing to do with ads, funnels, or budgets? In this Maven Monday, Brandon Welch and Caleb revisit a 90-year-old insight from Dale Carnegie that still outperforms most modern marketing tactics... and almost everyone overlooks it. This episode isn’t about scripts, hacks, or manipulation. It’s about attention, respect, and the small human moments that quietly open doors, deepen trust, and change conversations. If you sell, lead, manage people, or build relationships for a living, this is one of those ideas you’ll hear once and start noticing everywhere. Simple. Timeless. Uncomfortably effective. #MarketingPodcast #BusinessGrowth #SmallBusinessMarketing #EntrepreneurMindset #LeadershipDevelopment #SalesPsychology #BrandBuilding #CommunicationSkills #PersonalBrand #BusinessAdvice #MavenMonday #MarketingStrategy #RelationshipMarketing Our Website: https://frankandmaven.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/frankandmavenmarketing/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@frankandmaven LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/frank-and-maven/ Host: Brandon Welch Co-Host: Caleb Agee Executive Producer: Carter Breaux Audio/Video Producer: Nate the Camera Guy Do you have a marketing problem you'd like us to help solve?

    Don’t Advertise in 2026 Without This

    Send us a text Most businesses will waste money in 2026. Here’s how not to be one of them. In this Maven Monday, Brandon Welch and Caleb strip marketing back to what actually works after years of chaos and shiny objects. This episode isn’t about trends, hacks, or predictions. It’s about the foundational decisions that separate businesses that grow steadily from those that constantly feel behind. This conversation was sparked by a simple question Brandon posed to a business owner who felt overwhelmed by marketing: “If this were the last advice I ever gave you, what would actually matter?” What followed became a practical, long-term framework for navigating 2026 with confidence. If you’re tired of chasing the noise, second-guessing your spend, or feeling like marketing should be working better than it is, this episode will help you reset your perspective and focus on what truly compounds. No shortcuts, just the principles that still work when everything else settles. #MarketingStrategy #SmallBusinessMarketing #BusinessGrowth #Entrepreneur  #MarketingPlan #BusinessOwner #MarketingAdvice #LongTermGrowth #MarketingTruth #2026Planning #LeadershipInBusiness #BusinessMindset Our Website: https://frankandmaven.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/frankandmavenmarketing/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@frankandmaven LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/frank-and-maven/ Host: Brandon Welch Co-Host: Caleb Agee Executive Producer: Carter Breaux Audio/Video Producer: Nate the Camera Guy Do you have a marketing problem you'd like us to help solve?
