    What if the secret to better marketing… was hidden in your brain chemistry?

    In the latest episode of Tom's World of Marketing, I sat down with Dawn Apuan, founder of Copy Queens, who went from ministry work and nonprofit leadership to becoming a powerhouse copywriter helping businesses generate sales—sometimes within 24 hours.  Her journey started with one powerful moment. After being told she had to put her daughter in daycare and questioning her future, Dawn made a decision: "I will figure this out." That decision led her into digital marketing… and eventually to mastering the psychology behind persuasive copy. Insights she shared: Great marketing triggers five key neurochemicals in the brain: Cortisol – grabs attention by identifying the problem Dopamine – gives the audience hope and aspiration Oxytocin – builds trust and authority Serotonin – creates empathy and connection Endorphins – delivers relief and the feeling of resolution  When your message follows that sequence, your audience naturally moves toward action. We also talk about: How small copy changes can dramatically increase conversions Why most marketers miss the most important emotional trigger The surprising connection between faith, neuroscience, and storytelling And one wild example: A client changed just two elements on a sales page and increased revenue from $45K to $450K. Listen to the full episode of Tom's World of Marketing to discover how better messaging can transform your marketing results.

    Pain Comes From a Nerve

    And for thousands of patients, that simple truth changes everything. On this episode of Tom's World of Marketing, Tom Foster sits down with Dr. Eric Williams, a board-certified plastic & reconstructive surgeon specializing in peripheral nerve surgery—one of the most complex and misunderstood areas of medicine. Dr. Williams shares powerful stories of patients who spent years—sometimes decades—living with chronic pain, told repeatedly that "nothing could be done"… until the right specialist looked at the problem through a different lens. In one case, a patient suffered 30 years of leg pain. In under a minute, the real cause was identified. The pain was eliminated completely. This episode is more than just medicine—it's about education, mindset, and marketing: ✔ Why many patients fall through the cracks ✔ How specialized expertise changes outcomes ✔ Why great medicine needs great marketing to reach the people who need it most If you or someone you know has been told to "just live with the pain," this conversation might change how you think about what's possible.

    Streaming TV. AI. Attribution that actually makes sense.

    In the latest episode of The World of Marketing, Tom Foster sits down with Eiman Bassam, Founder & CEO of ESB Advertising, to break down how streaming TV advertising has evolved—and why lawyers and doctors can no longer afford to treat TV as a "branding-only" channel. This conversation challenges one of the biggest assumptions in marketing: that TV can't be measured. In this episode, you'll learn: Why programmatic streaming TV is now more measurable than traditional broadcast How ESB's AI platform, MACData, tracks performance down to the household level What actually drives ROI beyond cheap CPMs How AI is reshaping media buying, attribution, and even commercial creation Why "How did you hear about us?" is officially outdated If you've ever questioned whether streaming TV advertising really works - or struggled to connect ad spend to real revenue - this is a conversation worth your time. 🎧 Listen now to The World of Marketing Smarter ads. Better data. Real results.
