    The Existing Marketing Trap: How to Stop Competing and Start Category Designing with Al Ramadan

    What if the biggest reason your marketing isn’t working has nothing to do with your price, your pitch, or even your product? Al Ramadan, co-founder of Play Bigger and co-author of the groundbreaking book Play Bigger: How Pirates, Dreamers, and Innovators Create and Dominate Markets, talks with Tom Schwab about the existing marketing trap. The mistake of competing for attention in crowded, established markets instead of creating and owning a new category. Al shares how he’s helped companies generate over $50 billion in market value by reframing the game entirely. If you’ve ever struggled to stand out, explain your true value, or escape the endless cycle of being “better, faster, or cheaper,” this conversation will flip the way you think about marketing.   Timestamps From This Episode: [03:16] How category kings dominate markets and capture most of the value and financial rewards.

    How To Get The Interview You Actually Want As A Guest

    You landed a podcast interview but do you really want it? Often guests want to land a show without first considering if it will drive the results they are looking for. Too often, guests show up, share in their expertise, and walk away with no leads, no traction, and no ROI. The problem isn’t the podcast itself; it’s that they didn’t get the right interview, only the one that was offered. Host Tom Schwab talks with Interview Valet’s Senior Client Account Manager and PR expert Liz Brooks about how guests can flip the script and take control of their interviews. Together, they discuss the importance of choosing shows where your ideal audience is listening, defining a flagship topic that makes your expertise stand out, and preparing clear calls-to-action that connect with listeners. They also explain how to use green room time and pre-show prep to align with the host, how to bring compelling stories that make your message resonate, and why every interview should be treated as the beginning of a long-term relationship rather than a one-time conversation. If you’ve ever walked away from a podcast thinking, “I wish we had talked about this,” this episode will show you how to ensure that never happens again so you can stop taking just any interview and start getting the ones that truly drive results.   Timestamps From This Episode [02:10] The Two-Step Process: Targeting and Delivery [09:01] Using your greenroom time effectively [18:53] Optimizing for results, not appearances [22:15] Defining and measuring success from podcast appearances   Resources From This Episode InterviewValet.com/Liz PodcastInterviewMarketing.com

    Anti-Networking: One Podcast Conversation Beats One Month of Networking Events

    If the thought of networking events makes you cringe, you’re not alone. Senior Account Manager and Podcast Strategist at Interview Valet, Kristen Nolan, talks about reimagining how real connections are built in today’s digital world. With that, Kristen introduces the idea of “Anti-Networking”, a smarter, more scalable way to grow your influence and authority without the awkward small talk or stacks of business cards. Instead of spending evenings at lackluster events, podcast interviews allow you to connect deeply with the right audiences, showcase your expertise, and build lasting relationships that actually matter. Together with host Tom Schwab, they break down why podcast interviews beat traditional networking hands down: they offer intimacy without the inefficiency, visibility without the noise, and authority that extends far beyond a single event. They also explore how intentional podcast guesting not only elevates your brand but also creates content that keeps working for you long after the conversation ends.   Timestamps From This Episode: [03:32] Podcasting as a quality networking source [07:41] Building genuine relationships, brand positioning, and share of voice through connection [12:31] Podcasting is an ideal platform for introverts [19:39] Driving meaningful relationships versus transactional interactions [23:08] Focusing on results, not activity, to drive sales   Resources From This Episode InterviewValet.com/Kristen Offers.interviewvalet.com/podcastwelcomepage

    Smart Business Owners Invest in Centers of Influence, Not Followers with Ryan Hogan

    Business owners are incessantly told to chase leads and prospects. Ryan Hogan, naval officer, serial entrepreneur, and co-founder of Talent Harbor, points out that exponential growth, deeper trust, and better leads come from building ecosystems. Host Tom Schwab explores this growth strategy that too many ignore but the best business leaders rely on: investing in relationships with centers of influence. Ryan shares how he went from spending millions on ads at his previous company, Hunt A Killer, to now building Talent Harbor on a foundation of trust, referrals, and long-term partnerships. You’ll hear how he invested over $40,000 in podcasting before seeing a single referral, and why that patient, relationship-driven approach now fuels his biggest source of clients. This isn’t about spray-and-pray marketing or chasing clicks. It’s about cultivating ecosystems, building credibility inside connected communities, and unlocking exponential growth by focusing on the people who already serve your ideal audience.   Timestamps From This Episode: [03:27] Building ecosystems versus chasing prospects [12:07] Being patient and focusing on a long-term investment, not quick wins [18:31] Why leverage and relationship-building results over direct prospecting [25:00] How to connect multiple ecosystems to create new opportunities and deeper relationships   Resources From This Episode: TalentHarbor.com/Ryan InterviewValet.com

    AI Is Not the Strategy, It’s the Test: Leading Big Bets That Drive Growth with John Rossman

    Former Amazon executive and bestselling author John Rossman shares with host Tom Schwab what it really takes to lead and innovate in what Rossman calls the age of turbulence. Far from chasing the hype around artificial intelligence, John argues that AI isn’t the strategy, it’s the test. Drawing on lessons from his books The Amazon Way, Think Like Amazon, and Big Bet Leadership, he explains how leaders can drive real growth by focusing on durable customer needs, designing meaningful experiments, and leading with strategic patience. The conversation dives into Amazon’s “working backwards” mindset, the dangers of using yesterday’s logic in today’s fast-moving landscape, and John’s three-layer AI strategy that goes beyond surface-level productivity hacks to help businesses rethink workflows and solve their biggest bottlenecks. Tom and John also explore how podcast interviews can serve as powerful platforms for innovation, experimentation, and refining your message in real time. Using a real-world example from Interview Valet, they discuss how AI was used to analyze thousands of email pitches to uncover what actually gets podcast hosts to say “yes.” Whether you're a solo expert, a service professional, or scaling a business, this episode delivers a fresh perspective on how to lead with agility and use AI to fuel progress, without falling for the buzzwords.   Timestamps From This Episode: [03:54] Being an active skeptic with AI, validate before committing [07:18] Working backwards, Amazon’s innovation process [15:02] Using AI to analyze podcast outreach [22:21] Leadership principle - ownership and enterprise thinking   Resources From This Episode: TheDigitalLeader.substack.com Linkedin.com/in/john-rossman
