    S17 S2: The Creative Supply Chain Every Brand Needs (And Most Don't Have)

    A billion-dollar ad budget sounds like it solves everything. It doesn't. Nik shares a recent experience he had sitting in on a CMO offsite for one of the largest consumer brands in the world, expecting the conversation to be light-years beyond anything a $10M or $50M brand deals with. Instead, he found the exact same problems: slow creative production, personalization that doesn't scale, and attribution that never tells the full story. In this solo episode, Nik breaks down why more resources at a big company often means more dependencies, not more speed, and uses the "telephone game" as the perfect analogy for what happens when a single test has to pass through strategy, brand, legal, and five other teams before it ever runs. He also gets into: Why lean, scrappy brands often move faster than teams with 10x the budget The real cost of approval bottlenecks on how fast you can learn Why deliberate angle testing beats "spray and pray" every time A first look at the "creative supply chain," the framework Nik's been using with clients to source, produce, and test content on repeat If you've ever wondered why growth feels harder the bigger your team gets, this episode is for you! --- Tatari helps brands run TV like a modern performance channel. Unlike most platforms that focus only on programmatic CTV, Tatari gives marketers access to all of TV - linear, streaming, programmatic CTV, and direct publisher inventory - in one platform. By combining premium inventory with transparent reporting and outcome-based measurement, Tatari lets growth teams evaluate TV the same way they evaluate paid search or paid social.

    S17 E1: Founder Mode: Building a Second Brain to Supercharge Execution (Live from Ecom AI Summit)

    Most founders are still stuck living in a chat window…and it's quietly costing them hours every day. In this episode, Nik shares his recent keynote from the 2026 Ecom AI Summit in NYC, breaking down exactly how he built "Jet Damon," his personal AI chief of staff, and the second brain system now running nearly every part of his business. Listen as Nik walks through the three stages most operators get stuck in on the way to real AI leverage, then goes step-by-step into how a Mac Mini running Hermes powers 20+ specialized agents, from copywriters to an e-commerce ops manager, each paired with a "senior" agent that reviews their work before anything ships. Nik prompts a full advertorial from scratch in real time, and shares the exact prompt he uses to onboard a brand-new agent in under two minutes, plus how his daily "cockpit" report flags revenue dips, rising CAC, and competitor moves before he's even out of bed. If you're ready to stop checking five dashboards a day and start building a system that runs itself, this is the actual blueprint.
