BarbShim ,

Actionable and high energy!

Marketing Powerups is truly the most actionable podcast in marketing land! The worksheets are such a power move. A podcast to rewatch so you don’t miss anything!

Delucajared ,

A must-listen for SaaS marketers

I love that Ramli always has great guests on his show, and I always get loads of insightful ideas that I can directly translate into my work. Even when it’s not related to something I’m currently working on, these episodes help me think about marketing concepts that I wouldn’t have thought of otherwise and unlock creative ways to think about the problems I am working on.

Love this show

This is the show I wished I had coming up as a SaaS marketer. Ramli interviews marketing experts to go a few layers deeper than your typical interview. The power-ups cheat sheets make it more actionable than most of the other pods I listen too. I’m a listener and huge fan!
