  • Hope For Cynics - From Dostoevsky With Love

    Hope For Cynics - From Dostoevsky With Love
    2024/10/28
    Welcome to this episode of Talking About Marketing, where we’re diving into some deep and sometimes challenging themes. First, in the Person segment, we find wisdom in Dostoevsky’s enduring quotes, unpacking how his views on self-awareness and authenticity resonate in our modern, often superficial world. Next, in the Principles segment, we explore Hope for Cynics by Jamil Zaki, a book that navigates the line between cynicism and trust, with takeaways on how small businesses can maintain genuine connections in an increasingly sceptical society. Moving into Problems, we tackle the trend of using AI to generate engagement on LinkedIn, questioning whether superficial comments truly foster meaningful relationships or if they’re diluting the platform’s value. Finally, in Perspicacity, we review Fiverr’s new ad campaign that boldly claims “nobody cares” if you use AI, so long as the end result delivers—raising the question of whether transparency or results really matter most in the age of AI.

Talking About Marketing podcast episode notes with timecodes 01:15 Person This segment focusses on you, the person, because we believe business is personal.Dostoevsky on Truth and Self-Understanding In this episode's Person segment, Steve and David delve into the philosophy of Fyodor Dostoevsky, exploring some of his most powerful quotes and their relevance to both personal growth and business. From insights on self-deception to the courage required for truth-telling, they reflect on Dostoevsky’s gritty observations and how they apply in today’s world, particularly for small business owners. Steve recounts his own experiences as a theatre critic, where speaking the truth can feel more challenging—and necessary—than offering easy flattery. The conversation deepens as they discuss Dostoevsky’s assertion that many betray themselves for nothing, often due to fear or cowardice. David and Steve relate this theme to the world of small business, encouraging entrepreneurs to push through self-doubt and put their ideas out into the world, even if it feels vulnerable. They further explore the existential need to create meaning, both in life and in business, emphasizing that a lack of purpose can lead to a trapped, cynical mindset—a struggle Dostoevsky understood deeply. Dostoevsky’s musings about unseen prisons resonate with Steve and David’s discussion of modern technology, likening smartphones to "ankle bracelets" that keep us tethered to distractions and conformity. They observe how social media encourages surface-level thinking, deterring thoughtful expression and reinforcing a fearful, mob-driven culture. As they dissect these ideas, they advocate for a conscious approach to technology, urging listeners to resist the allure of passive consumption and embrace the challenge of carving out a meaningful, self-directed path. 13:45 Principles This segment focusses principles you can apply in your business today.Overcoming Cynicism in Business and Life: A New Hope for Marketing In this Principles segment, Steve and David explore insights from Hope for Cynics by Jamil Zaki, examining how cynicism impacts modern life and what small businesses can learn from it. Although Steve finds the book overly padded with anecdotes, he acknowledges Zaki’s valuable observations on the epidemic of cynicism we face today. Zaki distinguishes between ancient cynics, who were non-conformists with a belief in humanity, and modern cynics, whose outlook is shaped by mistrust and the belief that the world and people are inherently untrustworthy. This shift has infected various aspects of society, including politics and cultural discourse, leaving many feeling hopeless and isolated. To counteract cynicism, Zaki suggests embracing scepticism rather than mistrust. While cynicism assumes the worst, scepticism prompts us to seek evidence and clarity before forming opinions. David highlights how this approach can be beneficial in small business, particularly in decision-making. Rather than succumbing to fears about economic conditions or industry trends, business owners can examine evidence, assess risks, and make informed choices. By adopting this type of clear-headed, evidence-based approach, small business owners can avoid knee-jerk reactions and build a resilient, growth-oriented mindset. Zaki also stresses the importance of trust, noting that when we show trust in others, we often inspire them to act with integrity. Steve reflects on a marketing email he received from a company that leaned heavily into fearmongering by suggesting that neighbours might report each other’s financial misdeeds. He criticises this cynical approach to marketing, noting how it fosters mistrust rather than community. Instead, Steve and David advocate for marketing that encourages positive engagement and builds relationships, arguing that trust-based approaches create loyal, satisfied clients and a stronger,...

  • Go With Your Gut - In Praise Of Instinct

    Go With Your Gut - In Praise Of Instinct
    2024/10/15
    In this episode of Talking About Marketing, Steve and David begin by diving into the concept of the "wild creature mind" from Steve Biddulph's latest book, unpacking how our instincts and body signals often guide us before our logical brain catches up. Moving into the Principles segment, they explore how this awareness can enhance confidence in professional settings, like marketing talks or networking events, by focusing on connection over cleverness. In the Problems segment, they challenge the old adage "look after the cents and the dollars will take care of themselves," urging small business owners to step back and see the bigger picture. Finally, in Perspicacity, they dissect H&R Block's quirky tax ad, debating the balance of humour and simplicity in advertising and its relevance to bookkeeping and other industries. Get ready to take notes! Talking About Marketing podcast episode notes with timecodes 01:00 Person This segment focusses on you, the person, because we believe business is personal.Taming the Wild Creature Mind: Embracing Our Animal Instincts In this episode, the Person segment explores the concept of the "wild creature mind," a term from Australian psychologist Steve Biddulph's latest book, Wild Creature Mind. Steve and David discuss how we've forgotten the animalistic and instinctive side of our nature, which plays a vital role in how we experience and respond to the world. By reconnecting with these instincts, often triggered by the vagus nerve, we can better understand emotions like anxiety, stress, and even joy. These bodily signals help guide us in real-time, long before our conscious mind catches up. The segment highlights Biddulph’s findings, supported by the latest neuroscience research, which demonstrates that the right side of our brain—non-verbal and sensory—is constantly processing our surroundings. It’s not until the left side funnels these experiences into words that we make sense of them. This shift in perspective, from privileging rational thought to acknowledging physical sensations, can recalibrate how we navigate everything from personal wellbeing to professional interactions. For small business owners, the takeaway is clear: rather than relying solely on clever words or polished marketing, true connection is forged when we are fully present in our body, comfortable in our surroundings, and responsive to others. Trusting these instincts allows us to operate more effectively and authentically in both business and life. 12:00 Principles This segment focusses principles you can apply in your business today.From Wild Creatures to Bookkeepers: Connecting Emotion to Value In this episode's Principles segment, Steve reflects on a recent speaking engagement at the Polaris Centre, where he presented on the "Magic of Marketing." Despite being in a room full of strangers, Steve applied insights from Wild Creature Mind, remaining comfortable by focusing on providing genuine value rather than performing. This shift helped him stay grounded and centred, leading to meaningful connections. After the talk, two interesting questions arose, which Steve and David use to illustrate important marketing principles. The first question focused on the number of Instagram followers, highlighting the misconception that vanity metrics like follower counts are the key to success. Steve and David stress that engagement is far more important, as it indicates genuine connection and impact—essential for building trust and driving results. The second question came from a bookkeeper unsure how to make her services seem interesting. Steve's advice reframed her value: rather than focusing on the dry details of bookkeeping, she should emphasise how she lifts the emotional burden from her clients, transforming from a mundane service provider into a hero who delivers peace of mind. By understanding the emotional and physical experience of her clients, the bookkeeper can communicate her value more powerfully and effectively. 18:00 Problems This segment answers questions we've received from clients or listeners.Looking After the Future, Not Just the Cents In the Problem segment, Steve and David dive into a common business misconception: focusing too much on the small details while neglecting the bigger picture. Drawing from the old adage, "Look after the cents and the dollars will look after themselves," Steve questions whether this mindset still holds true in modern business. David firmly disagrees, explaining that focusing exclusively on the "cents"—the minor day-to-day details—can lead to missing bigger opportunities and changes in the market. David highlights that while paying attention to detail is important, it's equally critical to regularly lift your head and assess the broader business landscape. Small refinements only help if you're adjusting to the changing world around you. He argues that if you focus solely on the present, you're at risk of being unprepared for future changes, ...

  • Fit For Market (And Life)

    Fit For Market (And Life)
    2024/09/30
    In this episode, Steve and David dive into the power of small habits and mindset shifts that boost both personal well-being and business growth. In the "Person" segment, they share the story behind Steve's fitness journey, emphasising how physical health influences mental resilience and the importance of a supportive environment.

The "Problem" segment highlights the crucial role of accountability buddies in maintaining discipline, whether in marketing strategies or fitness routines. Finally, in "Perspicacity," they revisit the iconic Australian "Life. Be in it." campaign, discussing how its motivating spirit could be revived today with the help of AI and community encouragement. Join them for practical tips and relatable insights on creating a thriving life and business. Get ready to take notes! Talking About Marketing podcast episode notes with timecodes 01:40 Person This segment focusses on you, the person, because we believe business is personal.Sore But Happy – Fitness as a Foundation for Business In this week's Person segment, Steve and David dive into the journey of physical well-being and its deeper impact on business and life. A call from vocal coach Alexandra (Ali) Lopez sparks a candid discussion about the importance of balancing work with fitness. For Steve, the journey began with a routine of walking and visits to an exercise physiologist but transformed when health concerns and a recommendation from a friend, Adelaide Techguy Richard Pascoe, led him to a more regular, enjoyable gym habit at Fitness Habitat. The conversation focuses on the challenge of finding the right motivation for fitness amidst the constant demands of running a business. Steve shares his evolution from feeling duty-bound to exercise, to discovering the internal drive that makes early morning workouts an ingrained part of his week. He notes how small, consistent efforts—like holding a plank longer than before—are signs of improvement that make the journey worthwhile. David reinforces the idea that busy small business owners can benefit immensely from integrating mindful physical routines. When fitness is no longer just another task but a space to connect with the body and release the mind from work stress, it becomes a source of strength, both mentally and physically. As Steve reflects, being "sore but happy" is not just a feeling—it’s a way to live and work better. 14:15 Principles This segment focusses principles you can apply in your business today.Small Steps, Big Gains – Building Resilience in Business and Health Steve and David extend the conversation on well-being by drawing a clear parallel between physical health and business success. The key principle they explore is preemptive action—taking small, positive steps before problems escalate, whether in your personal health or business practices. Just as maintaining a fitness routine makes future challenges easier to face, proactive marketing strategies can pave the way for smoother business growth. David shares his perspective on how addressing potential issues early on—like tending to well-being or foundational business elements—requires fewer resources than tackling larger crises later. For Steve, committing to a consistent, manageable fitness routine is akin to a small business owner building a steady marketing practice: it’s about regular effort, gradual improvement, and staying the course even when the immediate payoff isn't obvious. In practical terms, they emphasise the idea of dusting yourself off when things don’t go to plan. It’s not about being perfect but about consistency and forgiving setbacks. Whether it’s skipping a workout or lagging behind on marketing tasks, the principle is the same—start again, no shame or blame, and build from small successes. 20:15 Problems This segment answers questions we've received from clients or listeners.Finding Accountability – The Power of a Buddy System Steve reflects on a problem that often hinders people from sticking to their well-being or marketing routines: lack of accountability. For him, a crucial factor in staying committed to his fitness journey was having a buddy—Richard Pascoe—by his side. This consistent social pressure helped solidify the habit in its early, fragile days and eventually led to a more self-sustained commitment. David builds on this by offering a broader principle: “Behave in a way that makes it easy to trust you.” Whether in fitness or business, fostering trust through accountability not only helps in forming good habits but strengthens bonds within your community. It's about showing up for yourself and others, building a sense of reliability and connection that becomes mutually beneficial over time. The essence of a buddy system lies in having someone to help break the ice ...
