The Dave Gerhardt Show (from Exit Five)

I love that Dave asks questions we are all wondering, and then lets the guest fully answer. Fascinating stuff!

Dave Gerhardt and his talented guests talk all things marketing, giving you the tools you need to get hands-on with your business. The best part is these tools come from fascinating people who have been where you are and want to see you succeed. Thanks so much for putting out such a spectacular show with Exitfive - keep up the great work!

After listening to this podcast for the first time, I’m not quite sure I will come back. I listened to the email nurture/roast episode that Danielle hosted. Someone needs have her listen to that episode and focus to how she speaks and her limited, juvenile vocabulary and voice. I felt like I was listening to a 14-year-old Valley girl which made me question the validity and credibility of what was said and presented, with the exception of the guests who were clearly subject matter experts. Danielle‘s vocabulary of “super cool“ more than a handful, “awesome!“ and “cool,” and variations of these phrases undercut the credibility of every other marketer out there. She made the field of marketing, and women, sound like elementary school arts and crafts.

He gets good guests, but he’s still learning the absolute basics. Makes you wonder how he’s qualified to be a CMO. Seems like the CEOs he’s worked for do all the work, a la Drift, and he spends his time babbling about being great at “brand.” It’s baffling how many people listen to this.
