Podcasts about Jaci

This week, the girls are diving into your craziest best friend stories, for better and for worse. Jaci and Chelsey react to listener submissions featuring everything from a boyfriend driving a wedge between childhood besties to unknowingly being pimped out by your ride-or-die, and even getting publicly humiliated by someone you thought you could trust. Don't worry, things end on a much sweeter note with a heartwarming reunion that feels straight out of a movie. Along the way, the girls share their thoughts on navigating relationships without losing your closest friends, and on the Summer House reunion for all the Bravo girls. Grab your right-hand woman and tune in for some truly unbelievable friendship stories.!!!

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

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?

This week, the girls are back for another monthly advice column and covering everything from friendship dynamics and bridal/baby shower burnout to pregnancy body image and baby timing expectations. Chelsey gives advice on a question about dealing with the mental side of watching your body change (as she is actively going through it), while Jaci shares thoughts on showing up for your friends without feeling resentful or drained. They dive into listener dilemmas about one-sided friendships, social obligations, boundaries, dating expectations, and the pressure to always be the “good friend” even when your social battery is fully dead. Don't forget: there's at least one man in every episode doing something very, very wrong. At least he'll have the honor of having this episode named after the situation he caused.!!!

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

This week on the What We Said Podcast, Chelsey opens up about being pregnant and some of the struggles that have come along with it, from feeling sick and exhausted to navigating such a huge life change while still trying to show up for her three boys at home. The girls talk honestly about the parts of pregnancy people don't always prepare you for, how isolating it can feel at times, and the pressure to still “do it all” while your body is constantly changing. We end with a reminder from Jaci that you don't need a perfect patio layout or tablescape to host people this summer. Sometimes the best memories come from simply inviting people over, even when the backyard is only half done.// WHAT WE ARE WEARING/MENTIONING // https://shopmy.us/shop/whatwesaidpodcast SHOP OUR MERCH: https://shop.dearmedia.com/collections/what-we-said !!!

Welcome to the What We Said Podcast's May Favorites. As the girls get ready for their biggest live show yet (see you soon, SLC!), they're wrapping up the month by sharing everything they've been loving lately. This month's roundup includes a podcast so deeply concerning it's keeping Jaci up at night, summer essentials as beach season officially arrives, a classic-but-always-amazing TV recommendation, a bold sleeping suggestion, and more.

This week's episode Kenzie sits down with Jaci & Chelsey of What We Said to talk about their ultimate comfort content guide whether it's book, shows, movies, etc. Hope you enjoy!!

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

This week, the girls are reading your stories about the moment you knew you married the right person. After falling down the Love Trapped Podcast rabbit hole about a man who seemingly chose the wrong partner and is still paying the price, Jaci and Chelsey wanted to hear the opposite: the moments that made you realize, without a doubt, that you picked the right one. Listeners share stories of husbands showing up during life's hardest seasons, or small acts of thoughtfulness that meant more than any grand gesture, confirming they had found their forever person. If the podcast that started this conversation was a cautionary tale, these stories are the antidote. A reminder that good partners do exist, and sometimes the clearest signs are found in the little things.!!!

This week, the girls are back with another advice column after recapping Jaci's quick Vegas trip and catching up on life. 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. This sends Jaci and Chelsey into a full discussion about “wedding year” culture and whether anyone actually owns an entire calendar year for ANY major life events. The girls also get into questions about navigating changing friendships, feeling unsupported during major life transitions, and figuring out when someone is crossing the line with green card marriages. !!!

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

Longtime listeners of the What We Said Podcast know that Jaci and Chelsey are moms, loud and proud. But as this episode proves, motherhood also comes with plenty of moments you'd rather never speak about again. This week, listeners wrote in their most controversial and shocking mom stories. Classics like kids accidentally saying horribly rude things to strangers in public (and the desperate cover-ups that follow) to looking away from your baby for one second only to find them casually chain-smoking. Oh, and yes, someone straight-up relieving themselves, in a cup, to avoid waking up their child. Birth control this month is complimentary to the What We Said podcast (jk we love being moms).!!!

#246. Jaci Marie and Chelsey Jade of What We Said came prepared — and left me feeling like I actually might be too. We covered trimester zero prep, the surprising things motherhood teaches you about productivity and identity, and the parts of yourself that are absolutely worth protecting.

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

Yes, another guest episode so soon — and this one is a good one. Jaci and Chelsey are joined by Payton Sartain Ross, lifestyle and fashion creator, host of the Note to Self podcast, and curator behind Chez Ross. Fresh off getting married to MLB player Joe Ross, Payton opens up about life as a WAG (and what that even means), navigating the uncertainty that comes with career slumps in professional sports, and adjusting to an entirely new season of life. She also shares thoughts on a possible career pivot of her own, including going back to school, why influencing appealed to her in the first place, and why she's considering walking away from it altogether.

This week on the What We Said Podcast, the girls are back with another advice column episode, diving into your dilemmas. Listeners wrote in asking how to deal with gifts you definitely don't want to keep (and the clutter guilt that comes with them), how to navigate mom guilt in a world where way too much is expected of women, coming to terms with the possibility that your family or future might not look the way you once imagined, and many more juicy questions. Along the way, Jaci and Chelsey also share their thoughts on the latest hit series False Prophet and the devastating realities so many women have faced while living in cult environments like the one depicted on the show.// WHAT WE ARE WEARING/MENTIONING // https://shopmy.us/shop/whatwesaidpodcast SHOP OUR MERCH: https://shop.dearmedia.com/collections/what-we-said !!!

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

It's been a while since Jaci and Chelsey have taken a trip down memory lane, and this time it's less about how they met (we've covered that before) and more about how their lives — and the podcast — have evolved. They get into what it was really like starting What We Said, the blog that walked so the podcast could run, and all the random lore that's built up along the way. Why pink and blue? Who stole Chelsey's car? And how does Jaci keep ending up in the middle of scandals? If you've ever wanted the inside scoop on the girls, this episode answers it all.!!!

In this episode of the He Said, She Said: Razor Branding™ Podcast, Jaci and Michael sit down with Michelle Herl, Vice President of Marketing at SOR Controls Group, to talk about what it really takes to build a marketing function from the ground up inside a mid-size industrial manufacturer – and keep it growing for more than 25 years. 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. From building a strategic planning system that keeps the one pager club at bay, to winning over the CFO by watching the bottom line like a marketer who actually cares about money, this conversation is full of real-world lessons for anyone trying to make marketing matter in a complex B2B environment. Key Takeaways Getting the house in order before going to market is essential, especially in manufacturing and industrial B2B Earning a seat at the leadership table takes time, but it starts with proving that marketing drives strategy, not just tactics Managing a house of brands requires consistent internal education across sales teams, partners, and leadership A structured planning system with clear priorities keeps marketing focused and protects the team from reactive one-off requests Building trust with finance means watching expenses, questioning invoices, and showing that marketing is accountable to the bottom line Differentiating through people, not just products, creates authentic brand moments that competitors cannot replicate Listen wherever you get your podcasts or at razorbranding.org

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.

Would you rather tune in to this week's episode of What We Said… or—actually, that's your only option. Jaci and Chelsey are reading through some of the most impossible questions from the classic two-option game, and things get tricky fast. Some start easy, like flying private alone or first class with your friends (What good is first class if my sistas can't sit? - J. Cole I think), but then it escalates to dilemmas like choosing one permanent vacation spot forever or traveling the world in luxury but never returning to the same place twice. Some questions require real thought, most lead to overthinking, and every single one is likely something we'll never have to deal with. Yay for fake scenarios!!!!!

In this episode of the He Said, She Said: Razor Branding™ Podcast, Jaci and Michael sit down with William McLaughlin, Director of Marketing at McNees Wallace & Nurick LLC and founder of the BD Roundtable, to talk about what it really takes to build and market a law firm brand in one of the most complex and competitive spaces in professional services. William shares how corporate law firms require a level of intentionality that goes far beyond billboards and TV spots, and why legal marketers often find themselves acting as translators, culture builders, and change managers all at once. He also explains how his experience building legal market strategy across 12 Asia-Pacific jurisdictions shaped the way he approaches audience, context, and differentiation today. From passing warm lead data to the BD team to studying the competitor client experience, this conversation is a practical look at how strategic marketing can cut through the noise and actually move a firm forward. Key Takeaways Corporate legal marketing requires a tailored, intentional approach for every practice group, audience, and geography Marketers in professional services firms are often translators, helping attorneys turn complex ideas into content clients actually want to read Passing warm lead data from the marketing team to the BD team is one of the highest-value moves a legal marketer can make Studying the competitor client experience, including RFP response times and follow-up, is a powerful and underutilized research tool AI can streamline workflow and improve consistency, but it cannot replace the human storytelling and authentic voice that truly differentiates a firm Alumni are some of a firm’s most valuable brand ambassadors and should be actively cultivated Listen wherever you get your podcasts or at razorbranding.org

This week Jaci and Chelsey are joined by special guest Dr. Suzy Welch, creator of The Values Bridge, to dive into what really drives us at our core. The girls both took the assessment (you should too!) and break down their results with Suzy's help — from the values they naturally prioritize to the ones they wish they were living out more fully. The test goes beyond surface-level personality traits, giving a deeper look at how your values show up in real life, where you might feel out of alignment, and how that impacts your decisions, relationships, and overall sense of fulfillment. It even highlights where your values work together — or clash — and why that tension can feel so confusing. Whether you're feeling stuck, curious about your patterns, or just love a good self-discovery moment, this episode is packed with insights you can actually apply.

Key Takeaways Highlighting people over services helps professional service brands build stronger connections Location-specific marketing and SEO are essential for multi-office organizations Short-form video can significantly increase impressions and engagement with minimal production effort Repurposing content across channels improves efficiency and extends reach Proving marketing value with data is critical to securing leadership buy-in and budget Listen wherever you get your podcasts or at razorbranding.org

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.

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.

We're a few months into 2026, which makes it the perfect time to check in on your health + wellness New Year's resolutions… and whether you've been wasting your energy the whole time. Jaci and Chelsey are deciding which popular health trends are actually worth it — and which might be total scams. From red light therapy, beef tallow, mindfulness practice, and protein in EVERYTHING to more niche picks like vibration plates, ear seeds, and IV clinics.

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.

Spring has officially sprung, and the Valley girls are ready to clean more than just their closets.

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. 

In this episode of the He Said, She Said: Razor Branding™ Podcast, Jaci and Michael sit down with Libby Cain of Extraco Banks to discuss how data can strengthen marketing strategy without losing the human side of the brand. Libby shares how her team built a unified customer data approach across the organization, using insights from multiple departments to create stronger segmentation, improve conversions, and lower acquisition costs. She also talks about the challenges of leading that kind of transformation, from internal change management to developing new skills along the way. From smarter targeting to stronger collaboration between marketing and producers, Libby explains how data can help brands make more informed decisions, build better customer journeys, and create marketing that is both strategic and personal. Key Takeaways Data becomes most valuable when it is unified across departments and used to guide real marketing decisions More targeted segmentation can improve conversions while lowering cost per acquisition Stronger collaboration between marketing and sales teams leads to better qualified leads and better outcomes Change management is a critical part of any data initiative, especially in large organizations The best marketing still balances analytics and automation with genuine human connection 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 Russo sit down with Cathy Bertrand, a marketing leader at Rittal and Eplan whose career path took an unexpected turn from mathematics to global marketing leadership. Cathy shares how her analytical background shapes her approach to marketing today. Instead of treating marketing as purely creative, she sees it as a balance of art and science, with data, strategy, and customer insights driving measurable results. From aligning marketing with sales to diversifying outreach beyond platforms like LinkedIn, Cathy explains how modern marketers can build strategies that actually move the needle. Key Takeaways Marketing works best when creativity is supported by data and analysis Strong alignment between marketing and sales drives better results Personalization and account-based strategies help B2B brands reach the right people Relying on one channel or tactic is risky in today's fragmented media landscape Understanding how customers consume information is essential to building an effective marketing strategy Listen wherever you get your podcasts or at razorbranding.org

You've all been asking for Jaci and Chelsey's thoughts on the latest season of The Traitors, and the moment has finally arrived. After kicking things off with reactions to Rob Rausch and Maura Higgins' wild season finale, the girls shift into a very different kind of traitor — the kind who signs a lifelong contract to love someone forever and then completely throws it out the window. Listeners submitted their most shocking divorce stories, and they have the What We Said girls absolutely shaken. From husbands cheating with their sisters-in-law to secret second homes and people packing up and disappearing without a shred of regret. This episode proves people have no problem hiding behind a mask of lies — and will make you want to keep your eyes peeled on those close to you…!!!

Despite the waves of uncertainty crashing across the economy, this week we hear from three owners who feel cautiously good about how their year has started. David C. Barnett budgeted for slightly less revenue in 2026, but he's operating more efficiently and expects to turn a bigger profit. Jaci Russo is hitting her revenue projections—and after implementing a profit-first accounting system, she says the results have been “eye-opening.” And while Lena McGuire isn't quite on track to meet her aggressive goal of doubling her business this year, she's doing far better than she did a year ago.Along the way, we talk about getting runaway software subscriptions under control, figuring out how businesses get discovered in an AI world, and why Jaci's health plan charges almost three times as much to cover female employees as it does comparable male employees. And we consider a question that might have sounded ridiculous not long ago: Has it become harder to get a job than it is to start a business?

Welcome to the second installment of the What We Said Podcast's monthly favorites. Jaci and Chelsey's February roundup truly has something for every niche in your life. Chelsey, fresh off feeling sick, introduces her go-to sinus rinse (a superior upgrade to the classic neti pot), plus the Substack articles she's been loving — and yes, she released her own. She also shares the ultra-hydrating face mask that saved her skin during a dry Utah trip and tips for keeping your carefully curated wardrobe looking elevated instead of landfill-bound. Jaci brings the heat (literally) with a hot cacao drink that's been helping clear her hormonal acne, a genius iMessage scheduling hack, and thoughts on Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie in Wuthering Heights. February may be the month of love, but this episode proves there's plenty more to obsess over than a silly boy.!!!

What's not clocking with these men? This week, Jaci and Chelsey are stepping in to help untangle your toughest relationship dilemmas. Should this listener drop the guy who refuses to leave his hometown with her? Need help with navigating a boyfriend's suspiciously mysterious past (and wondering if honesty will actually help)? They'll also get into the chaos of a friend group being shaken up by the dreaded performative male — because no relationship advice episode would be complete without one. This episode will leave you feeling enriched with that girly guidance you'd want from the group chat. XOXO The Valley Girls!!!!!

After a quick catch-up, Jaci and Chelsey dive into the theme, mantra, anthem — whatever you want to call it — for 2026: the Year of the Horse. Known for bold, fast-moving energy, this year is all about confidence and momentum. The girls go even deeper into the fire element of the Horse, a combo famous for turning up the heat and pushing big risks, career pivots, and undeniable main-character decisions. Translation: trust your instincts, move with intention, and stop apologizing for wanting more. In true What We Said fashion, they'll break down what all of this actually looks like in real life (like ruthless screen time regiments) and how to ride the energy instead of fighting it.!!!

Valentine's Day is right around the corner, and we're dropping an episode that might make you want to cancel the holiday altogether. You wrote in your most horrifying dating app stories for Jaci and Chelsey to unpack, and the lineup does not disappoint; Henry on Hinge with questionable hygiene, Daniel from Duet delivering unsolicited dong pics, murder threats from Mike on Mutual, and Bumble Ben rounding things out with a blatantly bold catfish move. Names have been changed for privacy, but the stories are very real — no app is safe, and these are tales from survivors who lived to tell them.!!!

Another week, another piece of TikTok jargon for Chelsey to break down — this time, it's “being in your essence.” The girls unpack what that even means, recap Jaci's low-key 31st birthday, share their thoughts on the current season of The Traitors, and check in on how this year's goals are going so far. Then things get messy as they dive into your family drama write-ins, featuring stolen breast pumps, side pieces accidentally crossing paths, and situations that escalate all the way to serious prison time. It's chaotic, jaw-dropping, and exactly the kind of episode that reminds you every family has secrets.!!! TIMECODES !!!

What do toxic mom groups, 2026 to-do lists, and being spiritually chopped have in common? Absolutely nothing — except they're all on the What We Said Podcast's agenda this week. The girls break down Ashley Tisdale's recent mom-group drama and unpack who's really at fault (and whether she's as innocent as she claims), then shift into new-year reset mode as Jaci shares what's actually helping her step into a clearer, more intentional mindset for 2026. To wrap it all up, Chelsey explains what it means to be “spiritually chopped,” how to spot it, and why you should avoid being it, at all costs!// WHAT WE ARE WEARING/MENTIONING // https://shopmy.us/shop/whatwesaidpodcast SHOP OUR MERCH: https://shop.dearmedia.com/collections/what-we-said !!!
