Episode 118: In this episode of the CIM Marketing Podcast, host Ben Walker is joined by CIM Course Director and Strategic Growth Consultant Steph Inez Matthews, and Peter Gaston, innovation lead at VCCP and co-founder of AI-first agency Faith, to unpack the “AI efficiency paradox”.AI tools like Midjourney, Adobe Firefly and Google's Nano Banana make it easier and cheaper than ever to create content, but are we entering a golden age of creativity, or do we risk our social feeds becoming saturated with ‘AI slop'?Together, Steph and Peter explore how marketers can harness AI for speed, scale and cost-effectiveness without sacrificing distinctiveness, brand integrity or ethical standards. They discuss how AI is reshaping creative roles, from designer to prompt engineer, why human insight still sits at the heart of effective marketing, and how smaller brands and SMEs can now genuinely punch above their weight.You'll hear real examples from agency practice, client-side experience and AI-first campaigns, as well as the practical realities around data security, IP ownership and client expectations. The episode does not shy away from the hard questions: bias baked into models, the risk of cognitive de-skilling, legal grey areas and the very real possibility of an 'industry disaster' if governance does not catch up.This is an essential listen that will leave you better informed, slightly challenged and ready to set your own AI standards.This podcast will: Explore how AI is affecting the creative process in marketingAsk whether marketers are prepared for the copyright and bias risks AI presentsExamine the 'efficiency paradox' - the risk that AI improves efficiency but fosters homogeneityThanks for listening to this episode.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Ben Walker discuss:Navigating the complexities of government contracting and responding to requests for proposals (RFPs)Strategies for effective employee retention and building long-term professional relationshipsLessons learned through costly mistakes in vendor selection and employee hiringMarketing and sales tactics for growing service-based businesses in highly regulated industries Key Takeaways:A structured “go or no-go” system helps companies quickly evaluate whether to respond to a request for proposal by screening for essential fit criteria such as pricing compatibility, service capabilities, and competition scope.Government contracting success often comes from proactive outreach, including attending local procurement events and targeting check-writing buyers to build relationships long before proposals are even announced.Past mistakes in hiring and vendor engagement revealed the critical importance of conducting thorough reference checks and background investigations to avoid long-term financial and operational damage.Customizing every proposal by adopting the agency's language, tone, and acronyms dramatically increases the likelihood of success by signaling subject matter expertise and genuine alignment with their needs. "If you're not hiring people that are getting other offers, then I think you might be hiring the wrong people." —  Ben Walker Unlock the secrets of the industry's top rainmakers with Be That Lawyer: 101 Top Rainmakers' Secrets to Growing a Successful Law Practice.

Send us a textLoving God's Word - Ben WalkerA major effort that may be lacking in your family life is worshipping as a family unit. I know I can stomach to be a better leader in my family by guiding a study of the Bible more. Ben Walker specifically joins us today to discuss our generation's need to regain this leadership in our daily lives. Daily reading, singing, prayer, and recitation in your home to help your family grow closer to God. Worshipping together with your loved ones.This has duplicitous effects on your home life.

How do your achievements shape your sense of self? In this episode of Grow the Good, I sit down with Ben Walker, an expert in organizational behavior from Victoria University of Wellington, to explore the intricate world of performance-based identities. We discuss how the labels we attach to ourselves shape our sense of self and influence our deeper motivations. Ben offers enlightening perspectives on the risks associated with tying our self-worth too closely to performance and provides actionable strategies for fostering a healthier, more balanced identity. From expanding our social circles to engaging in activities just for the joy of it, learn how to break free from the cycle of constant self-evaluation and thrive in authenticity. Tune in to start transforming how you view success and to nurture a more resilient and genuine version of yourself.Here's what you'll learn:Complexity of Identities: Performance-based identities involve how we see ourselves and the underlying reasons why achievements are so crucial to our self-concept.Multiple Identities: It's possible to have several performance-based identities that merge into a broader high-performer persona, which can lead to burnout if not managed well.Social Influences: The groups we interact with significantly affect our performance identities.
