    Marketing Agency Evolution: Nate Wright on Thriving Amidst Change (Insights from a 15-Year Veteran)

    Today, we're joined by Nate Wright, my ex-mentor, a maverick in the B2B marketing landscape, and the founder of B2B Bandits — a top 1% Email & B2B Sales agency that's been at the forefront of innovative email marketing strategies for almost 15 years. Nate's past 2-year journey through the tumultuous world of sales and marketing has seen him navigate through the rise and fall of crypto, the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, and the disruptive wave of AI technology. Despite the demise of more than 60% of marketing agencies in the U.S., his ability to adapt and pivot in the face of these cascading changes has allowed him & his team to stay in the game and live to fight another day (or rather a decade) 📋 In our conversation, we'll explore 3 key dimensions: 📋1️⃣ THE PAST: How the seismic shifts in the marketing space over the last two years have impacted Nate's approach and what lessons he's learned from adapting to these changes. 2️⃣THE PRESENT: Nate's insights into the current state of B2B marketing, the challenges of building genuine human connections in a digital age, and the strategies that are proving most effective today. 3️⃣THE FUTURE: Nate's bold predictions for the coming years and how he's steering his business to not only survive but thrive in an ever-evolving landscape. Join me, Konrad, your host, as we uncover the strategies and mindsets that have allowed Nate Wright to remain a formidable force in B2B marketing. Whether you're a seasoned founder, marketer, or just starting out, this is a conversation you won't want to miss. ------------------------------------------------------------ 🏆 RESOURCES: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 📨 Subscribe To Quest: https://konradyerba.com 👉📖 Grab Your Free Copy of the Art of War of the Inbox: https://konradyerba.com/book 🎙️Become (or Suggest) a Guest on the Podcast: https://konradyerba.com/podcast-2/become-a-guest/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🙋‍♂️ MY STORY ------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you're interested in learning about my story of how I went from backpacker to making $5,000+ each month and running my own biz, check out this interview with me : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MF9dOvsH9Aw&t ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 🔊 ABOUT THE QUEST FOR QUESTIONS PODCAST ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🔥 Welcome to Quest For Questions Podcast, a video podcast where each week you get to join a conversation where I ask NOT SO common questions, to NOT SO common humans, in search of NOT SO common answers.

  4. Human Nature from Caveman to Homo Deus: 30 Years of Wisdom in History, Biology & Science | Frank Forencich

    17/10/2021

    Human Nature from Caveman to Homo Deus: 30 Years of Wisdom in History, Biology & Science | Frank Forencich

    Show Notes: Today's guest is a walking reminder of our human origins, or said differently, how we as humans used to live & think for 99% of the time on Earth. The main challenge he's been tackling for over 30 years now is:   "How do we retain some sense of our ancestry and our ancestral ways while making it work in the modern world & environment." And as Frank beautifully put it, the challenge isn't small, because:  "We're just animals who are trying to function in an alien environment. We're all trying to adapt to this world, that we don't really understand." The 3 main questions me & Frank are exploring today: ❓ What caused the big shift from humans living in harmony with Nature, and the present moment, where it's a Man against Nature, trying to master it. ❓ Why a trip to the Ground ZERO of Human experience, which is Africa and its native Tribes, changed Frank's perspective on the human condition - forever ❓ What is the unifying story that will bring, us humans, together, moving forward?

  5. What The Heck Is a Degree on Common Sense? Business, Travel & Life | Malcolm Teasdale

    What The Heck Is a Degree on Common Sense? Business, Travel & Life | Malcolm Teasdale

    Show Notes: Welcome to the quest for questions podcast, today's guest is someone who went from living an ordinary life in a small town in England to becoming an adventurer, multiple book author and enrichment Speaker. In the meantime, he also co-founded a software dev business which he sold after 15 years to fund his adventures all around the world. Just like me, he picked up the so-called travel bug early in his life and then slowly grew while travelling extensively on business for over 30 years. He visited over 90 countries to this day. One of my favourite quotes I got from him(and one we discuss in the interview) is "The Best degree you can have is degree on common sense." I wholeheartedly agree. Here are the 3 main questions me and Malcolm explore today: * Why the most important degree in life, is a degree in common sense? And how do you earn that degree? * Why the company's biggest asset are employees and how to spot & hire the true A-players? * How do you prepare for a business meeting in a foreign country (or a business from abroad)? This is Konrad Yerba Mate Addict, and here's a conversation with a life-long learner who keeps discovering how the rest of the world works, the one and only Malcolm Teasdale. Enjoy!
