    2.15 So You Wanna Start a Podcast ft. Phil Gamache of Humans of Martech

    In this episode of Pretty Funny Business, we’re chatting with Phil Gamache, the genius behind the Humans of Martech podcast. Phil takes us on a journey through his world of marketing automation, the wild ride of podcasting, and even the creative chaos of AI-generated content. We dive into what it’s like to turn a passion project into a full-time gig, the ups and downs of small business life, and how to keep your industry connections alive while chasing big dreams. Plus, Phil gets real about balancing work, family life, and parenting-cue the toys! (Yes, we’re talking Barbies, Hot Wheels, and even the Yoto player. Get your kid’s Santa lists ready!) And let’s not forget his aspirations to write a sci-fi novel (because who doesn’t want to escape reality sometimes?) and how owning your own domain name is basically adulting 101. This one’s packed with laughs, insights, and those “yes, same” moments about work-life balance, parenting wins, and the magic of community. Grab your coffee (or wine-we don’t judge) and tune in for a mix of real talk, relatable moments, and a few unexpected giggles. You’re going to love this one, almost as much as Phil loved the self portrait that Lauren made for him: This is a public episode.

    2.13 It Was One Disaster After Another ft. Kimi Corrigan

    In season one, Kimi Corrigan joined us for a snake draft of our dream MOPs teams. Now, we’ve cornered her to focus on the star of the show. Us. I mean. Her. Get ready for a wild ride as bestie-of-the-show Kimi Corrigan, VP of Marketing Operations at DataRobot, spills all about her latest chaotic weekend, from party-planning headaches to dreaming up future gatherings (with a little less chaos next time). We dive into the good stuff, like the all-too-real struggles of home repairs, wardrobe planning for the new season (fashion is serious business, people!), and the unpredictable life of parenting teenagers. Kimi opens up about her unexpected passion for golf and gives us a peek into her team’s quirky work culture—think The Mighty Ducks, but make it corporate. You’ll feel like part of the team as she shares the inside jokes, camaraderie, and why they don’t just work together, they root for each other, too. Kimi teases some exciting projects on the horizon, like her current obsession with collecting fun, out-there domain names (for that one day they’ll come in handy) and her plans to launch a YouTube channel dedicated to Rummikube, where she’ll mix strategy with laughs. Get ready for an episode packed with relatable chaos, good vibes, and a peek into Kimi’s entrepreneurial brain. This is a public episode.

    2.11 Weak Ties/Strong Bonds, or Why You Shouldn't Employ Your Roommate ft. Laura Maurer

    In this episode, Sydney, Lauren, and Laura dive into the magic of those so-called "weak ties" and how they can actually be a game-changer for networking and landing new business opportunities. Laura gets real about how she launched her quirky dinner series, Weak Ties/Strong Bonds (yes, it’s as fun as it sounds), and how it’s been a goldmine for building connections. They also get into the nitty-gritty of email marketing vs. social media—spoiler alert: personalized emails win every time. Of course, it wouldn’t be an episode without some laughs. They share hilarious stories about the most random ways clients have come into their lives—like, ever gotten a client from a weird email thread? Yeah, it happens. Laura Maurer opens up about Weak Ties/Strong Bonds, a community and networking dinner series dedicated to uplifting women and gender diverse entrepreneurs and sparking collaborations to create a space where they can thrive together. And guess what—it’s already happening. People are linking up, making deals, and referring clients left and right. She also spills on the tricky part of hosting these events: balancing sponsor value while keeping the whole thing fun for attendees. And because they can’t help themselves, they wrap things up with a lighthearted chat about the weird world of domain names and a rapid-fire round on personal faves. This is a public episode.

    2.10: LinkedIn's Cutest Accountant ft. Michael Eckstein of Resting Business Face

    In this episode, we chat with Michael Eckstein, the accountant who's making waves in the marketing agency world—and not just because he’s dubbed himself ‘LinkedIn’s cutest accountant.’ Michael spills on the wild side of accounting, like that time a client casually mentioned a safe stuffed with cash or another who brushed off a $140,000 tax bill like it was no big deal. We dive into how Michael’s all about those deep, personal connections with his clients, going way beyond the usual number-crunching to offer a service that’s as high-touch as it gets. But it’s not all sunshine and spreadsheets. Michael opens up about the frustrations of the accounting world, from the cold, impersonal help desk software that’s creeping into the industry to his own dreams of becoming an influencer and setting up an affiliate shop—only to find out that the accounting world isn’t exactly brimming with opportunities for that. We also get into the sketchy side of affiliate marketing and how some companies are pushing boundaries in all the wrong ways. Of course, no convo would be complete without a little AI talk—Michael shares his take on the challenges of integrating AI into accounting software and why it’s crucial to keep advocating for clients amidst all the tech changes. Plus, we dish on the invite-only retreats we've been to and why keeping a balance between work and life is non-negotiable. Oh, and there’s a bit of HR talk too, because boundaries, am I right? In the next part, we dive into the fun stuff—parties, surveys, and pricing strategies. We swap stories about a wild party in Scottsdale, the headache of crafting the perfect survey, and why sometimes, you just gotta raise those prices. Social media’s influence gets a mention, as does our itch to hit up the next big marketing event. And yes, there’s even a segment on tattoos and our signature scavenger hunt! Finally, we wrap things up with some real talk on everything from the daily struggle of outfit repetition to the lack of accountant representation in media. We get into domain name drama, the challenges of being a woman in a male-dominated field, and brainstorm ideas for accountant merch. The episode caps off with a laugh-out-loud story about a podcast sponsorship that went hilariously off the rails.
