In a different format this week, Ian Truscott is following some advice to share a bit more of his perspective, especially while Jeff Clark (our resident Rockstar CMO strategy advisor) is away he flies solo sharing his view of the friction in sales that he calls FOFU; the Fear of F'in' Up and what marketers can do to overcome it.
Continuing the theme of learning more about Ian, he shares a chat he had with Seth Goldstein, the founder and Principal Creative Director at Goldstein Media a full-service digital marketing agency located just north of Philadelphia in historic Doylestown, Pennsylvania. Seth's show Entreprenuers Enigma is part of the marketing podcast network and has featured some great guests, including Mark Schaefer, Jason Falls and Guy Kawasaki. You can learn more about Seth when Ian interviewed him for episode 130, and then back in April, Seth had Ian on his show, and we share that interview here this week.
Finally, we get back on track, and we wind down the week in the Rockstar CMO virtual bar and get transported away with Robert Rose, Chief Trouble Maker at The Content Advisory, who shares his thoughts on what we can learn from the dramatic adoption of Threads and how we can take the same approach with our audience and products.
