    I Had No Idea Business Would Demand This Much Writing (No One Warns You), An interview with Jennifer Bourn of Bourn Creative.

    Eric sits down with Jennifer Bourn, graphic designer, business coach, and CMO of Motivation Code, and a marketing team of one herself, for a wide-ranging conversation about what's really working (and what isn't) in marketing right now. Jen gets real about the growing fatigue around social media, why more businesses are pulling back online and returning to offline tactics like networking and events, and how video and podcasts are becoming the new trust-builders. She also dives into the power of showing up with a real voice and perspective, why sharing your failures can actually win clients, and how she built smart systems (hello, 52 pre-scheduled emails!) to handle the stuff she hates so she can focus on what she loves. Whether you're stuck on what to post, struggling to stay consistent, or just tired of chasing algorithms, Jen's got the goods.

    28,000 People Agreed. Here's Why Mike Walked Away From ChatGPT

    28,000 views. No images. Just Mike typing his thoughts about AI into LinkedIn and apparently hitting a nerve with a lot of people. In this episode, Eric pulls Mike into the studio to dig into what sparked that post and where the conversation leads from there. They get into AI branding, what certain tools are signaling about their intentions, and why some of it is starting to feel a little off. They also stumble into a side effect of AI that is quietly causing headaches for businesses right now, and it is not what most people are talking about. If you have been using AI tools in your workflow and something has felt slightly weird about the whole thing, this episode might be the one that puts words to it. _____________________________________   Subscribe to Our Channel: Don't miss out on future episodes filled with valuable insights and tips!  👉 http://www.youtube.com/@MarketingTeamofOne Subscribe to YouTube and hit the bell icon to stay updated.   Connect with Us on LinkedIn: Join our professional network and stay connected with the latest updates: 🔗 https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-d-hendry/ 🔗 https://www.linkedin.com/in/eric-grotenhuis-pagedesign/ 🔗https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/marketingteamofone/   Download Free Tools: Enhance your marketing efforts with our exclusive free tools.

    Content Calendars Explained (For People Who Hate Planning)

    Content calendars get a bad reputation. They sound rigid, corporate, and like something you "should" be doing instead of something that actually helps. In this episode, Eric and Mike reframe what a content calendar is really for: giving you clarity, consistency, and a system that doesn't make you want to quit marketing altogether. They walk through how to organize your ideas, define what you should actually talk about, and build a realistic posting rhythm that fits your life. If your marketing feels scattered, overwhelming, or permanently stuck in planning mode, this episode will help you turn chaos into a system you can finally stick to.   Links mentioned in the show:   _____________________________________   Subscribe to Our Channel: Don't miss out on future episodes filled with valuable insights and tips!  👉 http://www.youtube.com/@MarketingTeamofOne Subscribe to YouTube and hit the bell icon to stay updated.   Connect with Us on LinkedIn: Join our professional network and stay connected with the latest updates: 🔗 https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-d-hendry/ 🔗 https://www.linkedin.com/in/eric-grotenhuis-pagedesign/ 🔗https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/marketingteamofone/   Download Free Tools: Enhance your marketing efforts with our exclusive free tools.
