The podcast is a must-listen for marketers around the world and has ranked consistently among the top-rated business and marketing shows.

On Episode 51, I continue my chat with Beth Monaghan about fear and the future of PR. Beth and I started our talk about her thoughts last time. This time, we journey into the real world and her thoughts about the power of community, finding common ground, what’s happening in PR in the era of fake news and me too, and what she sees happening in marketing in the coming months and years. Hope you enjoy the rest of the chat.

On Episode 50, we have Beth Monaghan in to talk about fear and the future of PR. Beth runs InkHouse—one of the brightest PR agencies in the land. She wrote a post (https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/fear-future-pr-beth-andrix-monaghan/) a while back that got my attention. In today’s world, there is lots of fear in the marketplace. And Beth deals with that every day. So she came up with a guide on how to think a bit differently. Beth is a thoughtful person who has built a great business—so it’s worth a listen. Here’s part one.

On Episode 49, we have more with Jon Chang of IBM Watson Marketing about the IBM Watson 2019 Marketing Trends Report. We talk about agile marketing, the blending of MarTech + AdTech, customer centricity, and the emotion economy. Plus, we get Jonathan’s takeaways from the report and trends he’s watching in 2019 and beyond.

A look at an episode of the Innovation Podcast: Facial recognition is taking the world by storm. So we found the most innovative mind in the business--Panos Moutafis, who founded Zenus Biometrics in Houston--to tell us what he and his company have been up to. Zenus has a unique technology, which Panos describes in our chat, focused on facial recognition for event check ins. The company heralds it as the world's fastest checkin, which requires no ticket scanning or wearables.

On Episode 48, we have Jon Chang of IBM Watson Marketing in to chat about the 2019 Marketing Trends Report. This is the first of two episodes with Jon. In this episode, we cover the first five of the top nine trends that IBM covers in the report, including the emergence of the tech-savvy "martecheter," how the director of marketing is hottest new role in marketing, making hyper-personalization a reality with AI and machine learning, how digital marketing agencies transform into "consulgencies," and how GDPR actually helps marketers. Hope you enjoy the chat.

On Episode 47, we’re talking growth hacking with Taylor Ryan, CMO of Valuer (https://valuer.ai). Growth hacking is one of those terms that people just toss about. But Taylor has hacked himself to success at Valuer, a firm that matches startups with corporations, accelerators, and investors. We share some LinkedIn war stories, explore techniques you can employ in your marketing right away, and Taylor shares some trends he's watching for 2019. And we also bat around SEO and Google. So, get ready to hack your marketing. Hope you enjoy the chat.

On Episode 46, we're back with Tim Burke of Affinio (https://www.affinio.com). Last time, Tim and I discussed his thoughts about marketing being broken. One week later, and it's still broken. There's a massive disruption happening that is leaving few parts of our business untouched--there’s consolidation happening everywhere. He sees a lot of pressure for media agencies, as enterprises take over that task as part of the in-housing trend. So, to start part two of our chat, I asked Tim why enterprises—drowning in data—think they can take on that task. Plus, we look ahead into the rest of 2019.

A look at an episode of the Innovation Podcast: We're back with Geralyn Breig (https://www.linkedin.com/in/geralynbreig/), founder of AnytownUSA (https://anytownusa.com). In the first part, we talked about Geralyn’s back ground and career. In this episode, we get into her new venture—something Garnet knows well—and then we take a peek at the future.

On Episode 45, Tim Burke joins me all the way from Halifax, Nova Scotia, where he runs Affinio (https://www.affinio.com)—a firm that tries to understand people at a deep level. That takes data and AI, machine learning, and all that. But Tim isn’t just a data jockey. He has a real point of view on marketing—that it’s broken. And the only way to fix it is to seize on the power of the data we’re all collecting and put it at the fingertips of the marketers who need it. Lots to unpack there, so we’re giving this chat two episodes. This is part one.
