    Your AI Flyer is Showing (S3E16)

    AI can make a flyer in seconds… but should it look like AI made it? It is the rise of AI-generated flyers, and why so many of them are starting to look the same, and what happens when you cram way too much information onto one graphic and call it marketing. We’re not anti-AI. In fact, we’re all for using tools that make marketing more accessible if that’s your thing — especially if hiring a designer or paying for expensive design software isn’t in the budget. But here’s the thing: you’re still in charge. AI doesn’t automatically know your brand, your fonts, your colors, your logo, your audience, or the personality you’ve worked hard to build. If you’re using it, you still need to direct it, edit it, and make sure the final piece actually feels like you. Use the tool. Make it work for you. Just don’t let the flyer become the brand. Because if your AI flyer is showing… people can probably tell.

    Oh Canada! It’s the Little Things (S3E15)

    Sometimes the biggest marketing wins come from the smallest moments. It’s travel stories, first-class flying, and some seriously great customer experience moments from Paula’s recent trip to Canada. From simple questions and thoughtful acknowledgements to those tiny personal touches that make someone feel genuinely seen, we get into why people remember how a business made them feel long after the transaction is over. Because sometimes it’s not the flashy campaign, the giant ad budget, or the perfectly polished strategy. Sometimes it’s just remembering someone, asking the right question, or making them feel like they actually matter. It’s the little things. Tell us in the comments: what’s one small customer service moment you’ve experienced that made a big impression?

    This Book Starts at the End (S3E14)

    Why do we keep doing things the same way just because that’s how they’ve always been done? Let’s start with a book that literally runs backwards — highest page number to lowest — and somehow turn that into a much bigger conversation about doing things differently on purpose. We also get into the Dungeon Crawler Carl book series, unconventional design choices, fandom, branding, marketing, events, speaking, podcasting, and all the weird little ways people can make something more memorable simply by refusing to follow the expected formula. Everyone says to “think outside the box.” But what if the better question is: who decided there had to be a box in the first place? We talk about why speakers don’t have to write books, why podcasts don’t have to follow the same interview format, why businesses don’t have to copy their competitors, and why sometimes the thing that makes people remember you is the part that feels a little strange, unexpected, or completely different. Because different gets noticed.

    Are Influencers Dying… or Are We Just Sick of Their Crap? (S3E13)

    Influencer culture has changed a LOT — and we have questions. Are influencers are actually losing their influence… or if people are just getting tired of the perfectly curated posts, constant selling, fake authenticity, and “you NEED this” energy. We get into what even makes someone an influencer anymore, why audiences are getting more skeptical, and whether people are starting to trust real recommendations, smaller creators, business owners, friends, and actual customer experiences more than traditional influencer marketing. Is influencer marketing dying? Probably not completely. But the way people respond to it is definitely changing. So where does that leave brands, content creators, and businesses trying to get noticed online without making everyone roll their eyes? Basically: influence isn’t dead… but maybe the internet is just sick of being influenced. Tell us what you think: Do influencers still influence you, or are you officially over it?

    Very Demure. Very Mindful. Very Up to Date. (S3E12)

    Your website says one thing. Google says another. Facebook has hours from six months ago. LinkedIn still has an employee who left in 2024. Very demure? Not quite. What is the importance of keeping your business information accurate and consistent everywhere people might find you online? From your website and Google Business Profile to Facebook, LinkedIn, Bing, social media, staff bios, photos, store hours, contact information, and everything in between, outdated information can create a frustrating customer experience before someone ever walks through your door. We also get into why sometimes you’re way too close to your own business to notice what’s confusing. Which is where our highly scientific marketing strategy comes in: hand your website to a stranger and ask, “What is this giving?” Because consistency in marketing isn’t just about using the same logo everywhere. It’s about making sure customers can actually trust the information they find. So go check your hours. Update your staff page. Look at your profiles. And maybe ask somebody who knows absolutely nothing about your business what your website is giving. Very demure. Very mindful. Very up to date.

    Featuring Bill Murray… (S3E11) - 🚨Possible Spoilers!

    Featuring Bill Murray… Well… kind of. 🚨 Spoiler Alert! 🚨 When Tarah saw that Bill Murray was listed in the cast of Zombieland: Double Tap, she naturally assumed he’d be back in a big (and probably hilarious) way. Considering what happened in the first movie, we couldn’t wait to see how they’d pull it off. Instead? Let’s just say it sparked a much bigger conversation. When does mentioning someone’s name become marketing… and when does it become name dropping? We dive into using other people’s names, credibility, and popularity to grab attention. Whether it’s social media, networking, podcasts, or marketing, where’s the line between genuine collaboration, social proof, and clout chasing? Turns out, this episode isn’t really about Bill Murray at all. It’s about building a brand that’s memorable because of you, not because of whose name you attached to it. 👇 We’d love to hear from you: Where do you think the line is between social proof and name dropping? P.S. Bill Murray, if you somehow end up seeing this… you’re one of our favorite actors, and we’d absolutely watch another sequel or anything else you ever do!! 😄 Listen or watch now: 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6oFcqQdcAjmvVazynOpeMD 🍏 Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/royally-unhinged-the-podcast/id1796596698 📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC57zPgo9waf-wKY1Ax-jmow?sub_confirmation=1 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/0d70c39f-4fa7-4e6f-a498-e1bba74363c5/royally-unhinged-the-podcast iHeart: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-royally-unhinged-the-podca-278210632

    Cookie Cutter Can Kick Rocks (S3E10)

    YOU do not have to follow the same business playbook as everyone else. You are allowed to be different. You are allowed to build your business in a way that actually fits you. And you definitely do not have to do something just because everyone in your industry says you should. We get into the pressure business owners, speakers, and professionals feel to follow the “right” path, whether that means writing a book, offering the same services as competitors, marketing the same way, or checking off a list of things that may not even match their goals. This episode is about giving yourself permission to opt out of the cookie-cutter version of success, create your own path, and stop forcing yourself into strategies that do not feel natural or make sense for your business. Be different. Be a nerd. Wear the helmet.

    Part 2 Tattoo (S3E9)

    Part 2 Tattoo is here… because apparently everyone had thoughts. After our first episode about tattoos in the workplace, the comments, texts, emails, and real-life conversations kept coming. So naturally, we had to come back for round two — this time with Tarah’s finished tattoo, more opinions, and even more questions about whether visible ink belongs in professional settings. We talk about the meaning behind Tarah’s new tattoo honoring her dad, the native Minnesota wildflowers included in the design, the very real pain of an eight-hour tattoo, and why choosing the right tattoo artist matters a whole lot when the artwork is permanently attached to your body. Then we get back into the workplace debate: Should employees have to cover their tattoos? Are face tattoos different? Can a company decide that someone’s ink does not fit its brand? And are tattooed professionals still being judged before anyone knows how talented, qualified, or capable they actually are? We also get into tattoo regret, cover-ups, questionable meanings, misspelled tattoos, permanent makeup, generational opinions, and the deeply important question: are they unprofessional tattoos… or are they just bad tattoos? If you watched Your Ink Is Showing, this is the follow-up you didn’t know you needed. Tell us in the comments: How many tattoos do you have, and do you think visible tattoos belong in the workplace?
