This week on the What We Said Podcast, Jaci and Chelsey are sharing listener submissions about wedding days that went up in flames. No, like literally—one of the weddings actually caught on fire. The rest are metaphorical: heinous comments from in-laws on the day of the ceremony, getting ostracized for not going into debt to attend a destination wedding, being fat-shamed by the bridal seamstress, and bridesmaids treating the wedding like Love Island. If you've got a wedding coming up, tune in for a few tips on how to keep your big day from crashing and burning. And if you don't have one coming up, you should still listen, you might just learn how not to ruin someone else's (looking at you MILs).!!!

Home sweet home. This week, the girls finish recapping their Italy trip, and let's just say the travel chaos wasn't quite over yet. Chelsey gets stranded again, done dirty by the London airport for a second time before finding herself stuck in Dallas too. Jaci also falls victim to the London airport, but manages to turn the setback into bonus vacation time with an extended stay in Italy and a stop in Denmark. Once they finally touch down stateside, it's time for June Favorites.

In B2B marketing, the biggest challenge isn’t always budget or bandwidth – it’s standing out in a market where every competitor looks, sounds, and says the same thing.  In this episode, Jaci and Michael sit down with Joya Scarlata, Director of Marketing at InterraIT, a B2B IT services firm serving clients across industries from automotive to retail to manufacturing. With over a decade of marketing experience, Joya knows firsthand how difficult it is to differentiate a service-based business in a crowded, fast-moving industry. The conversation covers what it really takes to build a recognizable B2B brand when your product is invisible – a service that’s hard to explain and even harder to make exciting. From navigating the “sea of sameness” in the IT space, to aligning marketing and sales, to knowing when your messaging has stopped working, Joya shares honest, practical insight from the trenches. If you’re a B2B marketer struggling to cut through the noise, make the case for branding internally, or get your messaging to actually resonate – this one’s for you.

What does it take to walk away from a name your organization has carried for over 160 years – and replace it with something no one has ever heard? For Jeff McCarthy, SVP and Marketing Director at Bank Five Nine, it took research, courage, a tight-knit team, and an unwavering commitment to standing out in one of the most crowded markets in the world. In this episode of the He Said, She Said: Razor Branding™ Podcast, Jaci and Michael sit down with Jeff to walk through one of the most complete and compelling rebrand stories we’ve heard – from First Bank Financial Centre to Bank Five Nine. It’s a story of competitive audits, internal discovery, board presentations, and a brand launch that landed right in the middle of a global pandemic. Jeff shares how his team did it all in-house, why they chose red in a sea of blue and green, and how a three-word mission statement – make lives better – became the culture north star that unified an entire organization. Whether you’re considering a rebrand, trying to justify one to your leadership team, or simply trying to understand why clarity and differentiation matter, Jeff’s story makes the case better than any textbook could. In this conversation, you’ll hear: How a name change gave Bank Five Nine permission to tell a 160-plus-year story Why internal buy-in is just as important as external launch strategy The risk Jeff took by keeping the rebrand in-house – and why it paid off How the Wisconsin State Fair became the bank’s biggest brand megaphone What “make lives better” really means when it’s more than words on a wall Listen wherever you get your podcasts or at razorbranding.org

In this episode of the He Said, She Said: Razor Branding™ Podcast, Jaci and Michael sit down with Wendy Gugora, Director of Marketing at Prairie Capital Advisors, to talk about what it really takes to market a boutique investment banking firm in a space where the service is deeply personal, the sales cycle is long, and most business owners do not fully understand what they are being sold.  Wendy shares how Prairie has built its brand around thought leadership and education rather than traditional sales tactics, using more than 20 webinars a year, books, client storytelling, and conference speaking to help business owners understand their ownership transition options long before they are ready to act. She also talks about growing her marketing team from a team of one to a team of six, navigating a brand name challenge in a crowded Chicago market, and how a recent logo refresh energized the entire firm right in time for their 30th anniversary. From maximizing conference ROI to measuring what is actually working and cutting what is not, this is a smart and practical conversation about doing professional services marketing the right way. Key Takeaways Thought leadership and education are more powerful than sales tactics when the service is complex, high-stakes, and once-in-a-career for most clients Telling client stories in their own words builds far more trust than any promotional content a firm could create about itself Maximizing conference ROI requires a clear pre-event, during-event, and post-event strategy – not just a booth and a hope Evaluating every marketing initiative against clear goals ensures resources are spent on what is actually working and dropped when they are not A logo refresh done right energizes internal teams just as much as it strengthens external brand perception LinkedIn is the right platform for a B2B professional services audience – knowing where your audience lives and focusing there beats being everywhere at once Listen wherever you get your podcasts or at razorbranding.org

Would You Rather Risk Losing a Client or an Employee?

This week, Sarah Segal, Jaci Russo, and Lena McGuire tackle a question many service business owners face: Which is the bigger risk—an employee who feels overburdened or a client who feels neglected? The discussion begins with Sarah explaining why she's had to reestablish boundaries with some clients who were texting and calling her employees after hours and bypassing the systems her agency has put in place. Sarah wants her team to be able to disconnect at the end of the day, and she wants clients communicating with the entire team assigned to their account—not developing overly close relationships with individual employees. In her view, protecting employees from burnout ultimately leads to better service for clients.Jaci approaches the challenge very differently. Her creative staff rarely communicate directly with clients. Instead, account managers serve as the sole point of contact, much like restaurant servers relaying orders between diners and the kitchen. The goal is to protect specialists from interruptions, keep them focused on their work, and ensure that client communication remains clear and consistent. The result is a lively conversation about competing priorities, client expectations, employee well-being, and the hidden risks that can emerge when clients become too dependent on individual employees. Plus: Have you ever had an employee leave and take clients with them?

In this episode of Before You Bloom, I'm joined by Jaci Rogash for a raw and powerful conversation about trauma, healing, self-worth, and what it means to rebuild your life when everything feels broken.As a teenager, Jaci experienced sexual assault, an event that profoundly impacted the way she saw herself and her place in the world. What followed were years of self-hatred, destructive behaviours, unhealthy relationships, and a deep sense of disconnection from herself.Determined to help others, Jaci went on to join the police force, where she found purpose and identity in serving her community. But behind the uniform, she was carrying unhealed wounds and learning to suppress her emotions in order to survive. When her life and career took an unexpected turn in 2016, she found herself at one of the lowest points she had ever experienced.In this conversation, Jaci shares how she transformed that darkness into a catalyst for change. We talk about trauma, toxic relationships, the pressure of wearing a mask, and the courage it takes to finally put yourself first. She opens up about working with psychologists and coaches, exploring personal development and spirituality, and learning how to move from self-criticism to genuine self-compassion.Jaci's story is a reminder that our darkest chapters do not define us. No matter how lost, broken, or hopeless things may feel, healing is possible and sometimes the life that feels impossible today becomes the life you're living tomorrow.If you've ever struggled with self-worth, trauma, anxiety, or finding your way back to yourself, this conversation will leave you feeling seen, understood, and hopeful.Find Jaci : HERE

In this episode of the He Said, She Said: Razor Branding™ Podcast, Jaci and Michael sit down with Danielle Dobbs, First Vice President of Marketing and brand positioning expert, to talk about what it really takes to build marketing that works when budgets are limited, audiences are distracted, and the temptation to skip strategy and go straight to tactics is everywhere. Danielle brings over 11 years of experience working with growing businesses across the United States and draws on her work in both agency and in-house roles to make the case for process over guesswork every single time. She walks through her proprietary Refine framework, shares why a message that tries to reach everyone reaches no one, and explains how understanding your audience deeply enough to know who you are not for is just as powerful as knowing who you are for. From balancing short-term wins with long-term brand building to why frequency matters far more than reach in today’s noisy ad environment, this is a grounded and practical conversation about doing marketing with real intention behind it. Key Takeaways Going straight to tactics without a strategy is one of the most expensive mistakes a business can make A clear and focused message will always outperform a broad one – trying to say everything at once means nothing lands Knowing who you are not for is just as important as defining who you are for, and most businesses skip that step entirely Frequency matters more than reach – being seen once by thousands of people is far less valuable than being seen repeatedly by the right ones Breaking content into smaller pieces over time builds more rapport than publishing everything at once Every business has a unique story and differentiator – the Refine framework exists to help them find it and communicate it with intention Listen wherever you get your podcasts or at razorbranding.org

In this episode of the He Said, She Said: Razor Branding™ Podcast, Jaci and Michael sit down with Bryce McCuin, Director of Marketing at BankSouth, to talk about what it really takes to build an authentic brand inside a community bank competing against institutions with far bigger budgets. Bryce brings a rare perspective shaped by nearly two decades across luxury real estate, fulfillment logistics, and nearly 12 years running his own creative agency before moving in-house at BankSouth. He shares how leaning into real relationships and real customer stories – rather than stock images and rate promotions – is what separates a community bank from the noise. From managing scope creep with agency partners to knowing when to trust their expertise and when to push back, Bryce brings hard-won wisdom from both sides of the client-agency relationship. He also talks about the imposter syndrome marketers are feeling in the age of AI, why discipline and intentionality matter more than speed, and how the slow is fast mindset applies directly to the way modern marketers need to approach the tools at their disposal. Key Takeaways Community banks cannot out-spend the big institutions, but they can out-relate them by showing up as real people in real communities Letting customers tell their own stories on camera – without memorized lines or staged setups – produces more authentic and compelling content Having agency experience makes you a better client because you understand scope, boundaries, and what clear direction actually looks like Marketers should lead with curiosity and questions, not with a list of everything a client is doing wrong AI creates real efficiencies, but only when you feed it the right source of truth – skipping that step means spending more time fixing than producing Staying the course on a campaign long enough to see results is one of the hardest and most important decisions a marketer can make Listen wherever you get your podcasts or at razorbranding.org

The listener submissions, centered around determining who might be overreacting in a situation, sparked a lot of strong opinions, especially around friendships and the weird expectations people place on each other during big life moments. One listener writes in after her friend tells her not to get engaged during the same year as her wedding because she doesn't want the attention taken away from her.

In this episode of the He Said, She Said: Razor Branding™ Podcast, Jaci and Michael sit down with Heather Johnson, marketing leader at TIE Industrial, to talk about what it really takes to build a performance-driven marketing function inside a multi-brand industrial company with a small team and long sales cycles. Heather shares how her background spanning agency life and in-house roles shaped the way she approaches strategy, prioritization, and vendor relationships today. She also breaks down how a website redesign delivered a 454% return on investment in just six months, why bringing every vendor into the same room for an annual audit changes everything, and how shifting customer stories away from individual transactions and toward long-term relationships unlocked a more compelling and authentic way to market. From managing six distinct buyer personas across three brands to educating internal teams on the why behind every marketing decision, this is a practical and grounded conversation about how to do more with less while still moving the needle. Key Takeaways A tactical background makes you a stronger strategic marketer because you know where the high effort and high impact opportunities actually live Tracking website ROI requires simplicity – unique phone lines, consistent attribution methods, and a team that knows exactly how to input the data Bringing all vendors into the annual audit and strategy session ensures everyone is rowing in the same direction from day one Shifting customer stories from transactional wins to long-term relationship narratives creates far more compelling and memorable content An outside perspective is essential because you cannot see what you look like to someone who does not already know you Optimizing for the right search terms matters more than optimizing for high-volume ones that attract the wrong audience entirely Listen wherever you get your podcasts or at razorbranding.org

In this episode of the He Said, She Said: Razor Branding™ Podcast, Jaci and Michael sit down with Andy Weiss, CMO and marketing strategist, to talk about why the playbooks that got us here will not get us where we need to go – and what to do instead. Andy brings a perspective shaped by decades of experience scaling B2B companies and working with brands like Sprint, Comcast, and Oscar Mayer, and a conviction that mental models and frameworks outlast any tactical script. He opens up about flaming out in his first in-house marketing role and how that failure led him to Warren Buffett, Charlie Munger, and a completely different way of thinking about marketing strategy. From the danger of operating like a day trader to the flattening effect of AI giving everyone the same tools and playbooks, Andy makes a compelling case for why the marketers who stop and think before they execute are the ones who will stand out. He also breaks down why B2B brands hide behind rationality when buyers are still making emotional decisions first and justifying them second. Key Takeaways Playbooks work when conditions are ideal, but frameworks and mental models give you a way to think when conditions are not Operating like a day trader in marketing – chasing quick wins without fundamentals – is not sustainable over the long haul AI has flattened execution, which means brands that cannot create a real point of difference are more vulnerable than ever If you do not know your customers well enough to describe them, your marketing will be generic by default B2B buyers make emotional decisions first and rational justifications second – the best marketers meet them on a human level The goal is not to avoid playbooks entirely, but to know when to use them and when to think beyond them Listen wherever you get your podcasts or at razorbranding.org

In this episode of the He Said, She Said: Razor Branding Podcast, Jaci and Michael sit down with Juliana Pereira, marketing consultant and fractional CMO, to talk about what B2B brands are getting wrong and what they could learn from the consumer world. Juliana brings a rare perspective, having worked across both sides of the marketing divide at companies including Ralph Lauren, The Met Store at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Smartling, and Ziff Davis before joining Flow Commerce post-Series A and helping drive its $500M acquisition in just three and a half years. She now works as a consultant and fractional CMO for startups and established businesses across the U.S. and Europe. She shares why B2B brands cling too tightly to features and descriptions while missing the emotional connection that actually drives decisions, and how removing friction from the buying process can be a game-changer for complex sales cycles. From her parallel-path approach to walking into a new client engagement, to her dream of spending her first months at a company actually selling the product, this is a practical and refreshingly jargon-free conversation about what it really takes to build a brand that connects. Key Takeaways B2B brands can learn a great deal from B2C by focusing on the individual buyer rather than treating companies as faceless decision-making entities Emotional connection does not mean sentimental – it means making your audience feel something, whether that is confidence, ease, or trust Removing friction from the B2B buying process, through pilots, guarantees, or try-before-you-buy models, is an underutilized competitive advantage Walking into a new engagement with deep preparation allows you to start solving problems on day one rather than spending weeks just assessing Authenticity has to run through every touchpoint – if your campaign promises warmth and humor but your sales team is stiff and technical, the disconnect will cost you The best marketing is clear, simple, and direct – buzzwords and industry jargon get in the way of connection every time Listen wherever you get your podcasts or at razorbranding.org

Michelle shares how she started with no office, no budget, and catalogs hanging from wires, and turned it into a seat at the leadership table. She also breaks down how SOR manages a house of brands across three distinct product lines – SOR, SSi, and SENSOR – and why educating your internal team on brand structure matters just as much as reaching customers.

For Lena McGuire, scope creep really can show up around every corner. She's in the home remodeling business. But for most owners, including Jaci Russo and Ted Wolf, projects that expand out of control can be less visible but just as hard to contain. It's baked into the job, because every assignment comes with a built-in tradeoff: Protect your margins or protect the relationship. And especially in the early days of a business, when reputation feels like everything, that's not much of a choice. “I was afraid to have tough conversations with people,” Ted says. “I just wanted everybody to like us.”Over time, systems help and boundaries get clearer. But the pressure never fully disappears. There's always one more request, one more detail to tweak—especially when you're thinking about the reviews and testimonials. “You want to get those nice photos at the end,” says remodeler Lena. “You want to get a referral.” This week, Lena, Jaci, and Ted talk about how their thinking on scope creep has evolved—and why it never stops being an issue.Plus: On the small business subreddit, an owner recently posted that he finds chasing accounts receivable so distasteful—it feels like begging—that he often puts it off and hopes for the best. “Is this just me?” he wants to know. “Or is this a common thing for small business owners?” We discuss. And Jaci explains why, even if she could get it, she wouldn't even consider accepting a $500 million account promoting a big deal consumer brand.

Here's something most of us won't admit: we have too much stuff. It’s human nature in the consumer age. You can’t throw a rock in Lafayette without hitting a storage unit. And that’s the stuff that doesn’t fit in our homes. Clutter is the order of the day. In the business world, that translates into noise. We pile on messaging, saying too much when getting straight to the point is the best way to make your case in the market. Less is more, in other words. And my guests today are both in the business of less. Heather Borges is a Lafayette native and registered nurse who spent sixteen years in healthcare. The pandemic brought burnout. Burnout brought reflection. And reflection eventually led her somewhere she didn't expect — professional organizing. In March of 2025, she purchased the Lafayette franchise of Bee Organized, a national company with 40 locations across the US. Heather now helps families and businesses declutter their spaces, navigate major life transitions, and find out what their home actually looks like when you can see it. And her concierge services extend beyond organizing into errand running, seasonal home management, photo organization, and decorating. Every client starts with a consultation, during which Heather's team conducts a personality assessment to understand how the client thinks about their space and what needs to go. Jaci Russo of Brand Russo wants you to cut out the BS and get the message sharp. She’s so serious about it, she trademarked her proprietary approach to marketing: Razor Branding. Jaci grew up in Lafayette and nearly went to law school. She ended up in Los Angeles working with major ad agencies and building brands for clients like Ticketmaster and the Home Shopping Network. Family brought her home, and in 2001 she and her husband Michael co-founded Brand Russo, a strategic branding agency serving clients with multi-million dollar budgets. Ninety percent of those clients are outside Louisiana. Jaci is a Certified Professional Marketer, a co-author, and the host of two podcasts. Out to Lunch Acadiana was recorded live over lunch at Tsunami Sushi in downtown Lafayette. You can find photos from this show by Astor Morgan at itsacadiana.com.

In this episode of He Said, She Said: Razor Branding™ Podcast, Jaci and Michael Russo sit down with Howard Kelly, Director of Marketing at S&S Cycle — a Wisconsin-based manufacturer that has been making Harley-Davidson motorcycles faster, louder, and more powerful since 1958. If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like to build a brand so strong that customers tattoo your logo on their bodies, this is the episode for you. S&S Cycle doesn’t market to motorcycle riders. They market to Harley riders. And not just any Harley riders — they market to six distinct groups of loyalists defined by the engine era their bike was built around, from knuckleheads and panheads to the latest M-Series. That’s a niche within a niche within a niche, supported by a 550-page catalog, over 5,000 SKUs, and a marketing team of four people based in a town of 650 in rural Wisconsin. Jaci, Michael, and Howard dig into what it actually takes to market across six different customer segments without losing your brand voice — and how S&S uses seasonal patterns, event strategy, and a deliberate split between dealer-facing and consumer-facing communication to reach the right people at the right time. Howard also shares the story behind the Independence Tour, a traveling display of six custom-built motorcycles — one per engine era — that gives every segment of the S&S audience something to connect with at major events across the country. There’s also a great conversation about the unexpected power of bringing back a printed catalog in the age of digital everything — and why mom-and-pop motorcycle shops across the country called to say thank you. They get into the S&S relationship with Harley-Davidson, the rigorous testing process behind every product release, and what it means to be a fourth-generation family business still operating from the original farmhouse property where it all started. But the moment that says everything about what S&S has built? Customers don’t just buy their parts. They buy S&S patches to sew on their jackets, sell out S&S hoodies at Daytona Bike Week, travel from Singapore to ask Howard a question in person at a show in Japan, and submit daily tattoo entries in an ongoing brand contest. That’s not a marketing campaign. That’s a brand that means something. Howard Kelly is the Director of Marketing at S&S Cycle, a manufacturer of high-performance V-twin engines, parts, and accessories headquartered in Viola, Wisconsin. Howard is also a former motorcycle magazine editor and author. Learn more at sscycle.com.

In this episode of He Said, She Said: Razor Branding™ Podcast, Jaci and Michael sit down with Chanelle Yarber, a marketing strategist, agency owner, and in-house marketer at First United Bank who has spent over two decades doing something most people only claim to do — actually connecting with the customer. Chanelle’s path into marketing didn’t start with a job posting. It started with journalism, speech and debate, video production, and a curiosity about what makes people tick that has never left her. From managing social media back in the MySpace-and-HTML days to building go-to-market strategies for clients across industries, her career is a masterclass in what happens when storytelling meets strategy — and when someone refuses to let tactics drive the bus. Jaci, Michael, and Chanelle dig into what it really means to zoom out before you execute — and why so many marketers never do. Chanelle shares how she pushes back on clients who walk in asking for a Facebook ad or an email campaign before anyone has asked what outcome they’re actually after. She talks about the damage done when tactics lead and strategy follows, and why clients who’ve been burned before bring a level of mistrust into every new agency relationship that has to be earned back carefully and honestly. There’s also a sharp conversation about the rebound agency effect — the idea that every new client is leaving something behind, and that trust has to be built before any creative work can land the way it should. They get into how to stack an internal and external team based on actual strengths, how to know when to keep work in-house versus when to bring in a partner, and why the institutional knowledge that comes from years of skinned knees in this industry is something no AI prompt can replicate. The conversation also touches on what it’s like to navigate constant change as an elder millennial marketer — from analog to digital, SEO to AI, and every shift in between — and why the fundamentals of good marketing have never actually changed, even when everything around them has. Chanelle Yarber is a marketing strategist and agency owner with over 20 years of experience across video production, social media, digital marketing, and brand strategy. She specializes in helping businesses build campaigns and go-to-market strategies rooted in a deep understanding of their customer. Connect with Chanelle on LinkedIn.

Given everything going on in the world, you might expect a rough start to the year. But for Paul Downs, Jennifer Kerhin, and Jaci Russo, 2026 has actually begun quite well. In fact, Jennifer and Jaci say they're finally climbing out of what many owners call the Valley of Death—that long stretch when the business depends on you for everything and when it starts to outgrow your people and your systems. Exiting the valley can take a lot longer than people expect. Jennifer is seeing daylight in year 17. Paul says it took him 25 years, a quarter of a century. “Most of that time,” he admits, “I was just wallowing in ignorance.” One lesson they've learned the hard way: growing too fast can do real damage. “You burn out your employees,” Jennifer says. “You provide poor quality control to your clients. You make everybody upset and angry.”Along the way, the three owners cover a lot of ground: what actually makes trade shows worth the investment (hint: it's what you do before and after), why you may not be able to copyright that graphic design, why your logo needs a trademark, why Paul's Google traffic is holding up but his Middle East expansion is on hold, what Jaci has uncovered about the shocking cost gap in health insurance for her female employees, and why it's insane that business owners have to manage their employees' health insurance in the first place. It's a wide-ranging conversation—but underneath it all is a theme most owners will recognize: Progress doesn't always come from big breakthroughs. Sometimes it comes from surviving long enough to figure things out.
