    EP 23: From Shit Show to Systems – Getting Your Business Organised

    In this episode of No Bull, Just Beef, Todd and Jo get brutally honest about what it really looks like to run a small business that’s more chaos than control - and how they dragged Spaghetti Agency out of that mess. They unpack the tell-tale signs your business is a total shit show: turning up late to meetings, terrible password management, no CRM, hunting for your own logo, and flying blind on numbers. You’ll hear how COVID and a business coach forced them to grow up: putting in processes for onboarding, offboarding, proposals, content, client comms and finance; moving to Zoho CRM; automating bookings and calls; and actually looking at the data instead of panicking. They also dive into why so many business owners “don’t have time” to fix their business (spoiler: it’s really about priorities), how AI can help you think and plan (but not replace a coach), and why human-written content still beats AI slop on LinkedIn. If you’ve ever thought “I know this is a mess, but I don’t even know where to start,” this episode will make you feel seen - and give you a nudge to pick one thing, fix it, and start getting your shit together.

    EP 21: Beige Is a Choice – How to Stand Out in the Age of AI

    AI can write your posts, plan your content, and maybe even impersonate your brand voice. But does that mean it should?   In this episode of No Bull Just Beef, Todd and Jo dive headfirst into the AI hype - and pull no punches. From lazy marketing shortcuts and microwave analogies to deep discomfort with AI-generated music, they explore the messy space between efficiency and authenticity.   Expect hot takes, real talk, and a surprising number of references to OnlyFans, air fryers, and Bonnie Blue. This isn’t your average AI conversation, it’s the one marketers actually need to hear.   Whether you’re obsessed with AI tools or trying to hide from them, this episode will challenge your thinking and remind you what marketing still needs: a human spark.

    EP 20: Beyond the Buzzwords – Why Vision, Mission & Values Matter

    Vision, mission, and values sound like corporate nonsense, but when done right, they can shape every decision you make -from who you hire to the clients you attract.

    EP 19: AI Search is Stealing Your Clicks - Here’s How to Fight Back

    AI search is changing the game and not in your favour. Your customers are getting answers without clicking your website, which means fewer visits, fewer leads, and fewer sales. In this episode, we talk about what’s changing, why it matters, and the moves you can make this week to make sure you still get found. If you want your business to survive in the age of AI search, you need to hear this.

    EP18: Behind the Brand: What It’s Really Like Running Spaghetti

    Ever wondered what really goes on inside a small agency — beyond the bold branding, cheeky posts, and staged smiles? In this episode we’re pulling back the curtain on Spaghetti Agency itself. From imposter syndrome (or is it just a safety alarm?) to clients we politely call “dickheads,” late arrivals that drive us literally into space, and why paying VAT is apparently a bigger commitment than marriage — nothing’s off limits. It’s honest, sweary, occasionally daft, and more than a little too real. You’ll hear about the rants, the wins, the fears, and the weird pride in seeing your team wear the brand you built. Basically: what it’s actually like to run this wonderfully chaotic business called Spaghetti. If you’re running a business (or just nosy about what goes on behind the scenes), you’ll laugh, you’ll nod, and you’ll probably think: “Thank God it’s not just me.”

    EP17: What’s Wrong With Business (According to Us)

    This one’s a full-blown rant-fest. We’re diving headfirst into the b******t of business — the clients who ghost, the expos that suck, the social media fakery, and the newsletters nobody asked for. But don’t worry, it’s not just whingeing for whingeing’s sake — there’s proper advice buried beneath the sarcasm (promise). From ice bath scams to spammy “Seasons Greetings,” we’re calling out the fluff, the fakery, and the time-wasters that clog up the small business world. If you’ve ever felt like shouting into the void, you’ll feel very seen.

    EP 16: Keeping It Real: Why Authenticity Wins in Video

    Slick studio? Scripted lines? Forget it. In this raw and refreshingly honest episode of No Bull, Just Beef, we unpack why authentic, unpolished video content wins every time. Inside this episode: Why trust > polish — and how looking a bit scrappy might actually work in your favour. The worst fake video trends we're seeing (spoiler: AI, fake podcasts, and Gen Z cringe). How to overcome camera fear — real tips from people who used to avoid the lens. Why your bloopers are more powerful than your pitch. What “just start” really means, and how to build confidence by simply hitting record. Plus: a story about a drunk Facebook Live (oops), a child renaming Bullseye, and the dangers of overly tight jeans on camera. If you’ve been overthinking video content, this one’s your permission slip to keep it messy, real, and completely human.
