Our guest in this episode is James Hipkin, a vivacious marketing strategist and digital agency leader who's spent decades helping businesses cut through the marketing noise with authentic, customer-centered strategies. James delights in challenging the status quo, advocating for marketing that genuinely adds value and using AI as a creative ally (not a replacement!) to keep the human touch alive. In his upbeat conversation with host Jürgen Strauss, James ditches “icky marketing” in favor of meaningful customer pathways and demonstrates how curiosity, clarity, and compassion drive long-term business success.Key points discussed include:* Transforming “Call to Action” into Customer Pathways: James encourages a mindset shift, inviting customers along value-filled journeys instead of simply shouting for attention.* Blending Human Creativity with AI for Better Results: He joyfully shares how AI can spark ideas, provide audience insights, and enhance marketing—while always keeping people at the heart.* Building Relationships for Sustainable Growth: James underscores that true marketing success is about lasting relationships, focusing on customer value beyond the first sale.This episode is packed with refreshing ideas and practical inspiration for marketers ready to innovate with empathy, measurement, and a dash of fun!Listen to the podcast to find out more.Show Notes from this episode with James HipkinChampioning Value-Based Marketing Over "Icky" TacticsStep into the world of marketing that puts people first with James Hipkin, a marketing strategist and digital agency leader who joined me, Jürgen Strauss, on the InnovaBuzz podcast for a vibrant discussion. James has spent decades rallying against what he calls "icky marketing"—those manipulative, hard-sell tactics that leave everyone feeling a little grimy. Instead, he champions a marketing ethos rooted in creating real value for customers and businesses alike. His approach is all about forging genuine connections and focusing on knowledge-sharing, where education and trust replace the noise of pushy promotions.James's mission is to transform marketing, one business owner at a time. He believes great marketing brings value not only to the business but, most importantly, to the customer. By focusing on educating the ideal audience and nurturing relationships, James shows how we can move away from the transactional and toward the transformational.The Mindset Shift: From Calls to Action to Customer PathwaysA standout moment in our conversation was James' bold proposal: stop shouting "Call to Action" and start building "Pathways." The typical call to action often feels like a marketer barking orders, rather than an invitation. James encourages us to create "people like you pathways"—roads marked with relevant information, gentle invitations, and meaningful touchpoints.For example, James described how he used AI to brainstorm alternatives to the tired “related products” label in e-commerce. He then checked these options with his team and polled the client's audience, ensuring the final choice resonated. This approach transforms the customer experience from a pushy sales pitch to a helpful, human-guided journey.Prioritizing the Second Sale and True Customer RelationshipsJames reminds us that the most important sale is not the first—it's the second. He champions a philosophy where marketing is seen as the beginning of a relationship, not the end. Businesses that focus on ensuring customers return are the ones who thrive; after all, if you can create a repeat buyer, chances are they'll keep coming back for more.We shared stories about brands that either courted us for one quick transaction or truly invested in our long-term success. When we genuinely care about ongoing customer success, we're building trust, nurturing advocates, and creating fertile ground for innovation. The game isn't about the big win; it's about showing up, again and again, for your customers.Bringing Humanity Into AI-Driven MarketingWith the AI wave sweeping through marketing, James stands out with his level-headed, human-first approach. Rather than surrendering creativity or empathy to technology, he leverages AI as a brainstorming partner—a tool for generating ideas and stimulating discussion. For instance, he uses AI to analyze customer interviews and online forums, but always brings the final decision back to the team for a human touch.This collaborative approach sparks creativity and widens perspective. AI provides the stimulus, but people make the final call, ensuring that empathy and authenticity remain at the heart of every campaign.Grounding Innovation in Data and MeasurementJames brings with him the rigor of the direct marketing world—a place where every strategy lives or dies by data. He believes great marketing is a three-legged stool: strategy (who and why), planning (how and when), and, most critically, measurement. Without that third leg, businesses wobble, never quite sure what's working or why.He shares anecdotes of clients spread thin across social channels, uncertain which efforts yielded real results, until simple tracking and data analysis revealed the highest-impact activities. By focusing on meaningful data, not vanity metrics, James helps his clients double down on what truly works and prune the rest.Unlocking Customer Insights Through AI-Augmented InterviewsJames is passionate about democratizing the powerful customer research methods once reserved for big brands. His solution? Use guided customer interviews, audio transcriptions, and AI trained with deep marketing psychology to create rich, nuanced customer avatars and journey maps—without breaking the bank. This process gives even the smallest business a window into customer motivations, desires, and language, ensuring that every marketing message hits home.He's careful, too, to blend classic rigor with innovative shortcuts. Analyzing subreddit discussions or online forums through AI, using a well-crafted questionnaire, may not match a $50,000 research project—but it's miles ahead of guesswork. Objective, data-backed insights are now within reach for everyone.Staying True to Strategy in a Shiny Object WorldWith all the new tools and trends vying for our attention, it's easy to get distracted. James urges business owners to resist the lure of the next shiny object and instead double down on what's working. Start with a few core tactics, get really good at them, and then iterate for excellence. His advice is to measure, learn, and improve—rather than constantly chasing novelty.James also emphasizes the importance of building a strong team, welcoming their input, and sometimes just saying "no"—to clients, trends, or ideas that don't serve the strategy. The secret to longevity and sustainable growth isn't in doing more things, but in doing the right things really well.The Buzz - Our Innovation RoundHere are James's answers to the questions of our innovation round. Listen to the conversation to get the full scoop.* No. 1 thing to be more innovative: Get out of your own head.* Best thing for new ideas: Shift your perspective from inside out to outside in by observing what's really happening with your customers.* Favourite resource: Rely on the people on your team for input, ideas, and collaboration.* Keep project/client on track: Be willing to say no to clients and provide honest feedback, building relationships based on trust.* Differentiate: Clearly define and communicate your unique selling proposition by focusing on what's truly unique and motivating about your business.ActionJames encourages you to stop trying to "boil the ocean." Instead, choose a few things to focus on, learn to do them well, and then work on doing them even better. Let your customers guide you on what's working and do more of that, rather than chasing every new shiny trend.Reach OutIf you'd like to explore these ideas further or share your own marketing challenges, James welcomes a conversation.

This adds a layer of personality and passion to his professional persona.* The "Techie" with a Human Touch: James blends AI with real human interaction (customer interviews). In a world where AI is often seen as cold and impersonal, he's using it to amplify human voices and insights.* The "Storyteller" in a Marketing World: James uses stories and analogies to explain complex concepts, showing he's not just a marketing expert, but also a skilled communicator who can connect with people on a human level.* Bachelor of Music in composition and theory: James shared how a professor's advice—think of the most ridiculous solution, then work backwards—helped him break free from linear thinking, a creative exercise he's carried into his marketing career.Ready to humanize your marketing?

Our guest in this episode is Josselyne Herman-Saccio, a master coach and transformative leader who empowers people to live the life of their dreams with her "Unmessable with" philosophy. In her conversation with host Jürgen Strauss, Josselyne explores the power of shifting beliefs, living dreams now, and maintaining a focus on vision over vehicles for lasting fulfilment. Key points discussed include:* Shedding Limiting Beliefs for Dream Fulfilment: Josselyne shares her journey of overcoming the belief that art couldn't be a career, which led to achieving her dreams with ease.* Living Dreams in the Present: She emphasises creating visions that can be experienced now, urging us to manifest desired life experiences rather than postponing them to a future "someday."* Harnessing Vision Versus Vehicles: Josselyne explains the distinction between vision and vehicles, encouraging a focus on vision to navigate life's uncertain paths and avoid getting stuck on one method of achieving goals.This insightful conversation inspires us to unlock our potential by realising dreams in the present, focusing on unyielding visions to guide our journeys.Listen to the podcast to find out more.Listen to the PodcastShow Notes from this episode with Josselyne Herman-Saccio, Be UnMessableWithEmbracing the Unmessable With PhilosophyWelcome to an invigorating exploration of potential and resilience with the transformative leader, Josselyne Herman-Saccio. In her insightful conversation with Jürgen Strauss on the Innovabuzz podcast, Josselyne, a master coach and the creator of the "Unmessable With" philosophy, reveals how we can transform our lives by overcoming limiting beliefs. With experience spanning over three decades, she steers individuals towards living the lives of their dreams in the present, not in the elusive "someday." Let's delve into the core themes and insights from this inspiring dialogue.The Journey from Dreams to RealityJosselyne's own life is a blueprint of how dreams can transform into reality. Her journey from a pop star to a transformative coach is rich with lessons on overcoming limiting beliefs. She shares the pivotal moment in her early twenties when she questioned an ingrained belief that one cannot pursue art as a career. This epiphany marked the shift from seeing it as an unchangeable truth to seeing it as a mere belief. By shedding this limitation, she swiftly accomplished her dream of a music career, demonstrating the powerful unfolding when personal barriers are dismantled. Her story reminds us that living our dreams starts by questioning and transforming the narratives we tell ourselves.Understanding the Unmessable With ConceptAccording to Josselyne, being "unmessable with" is not about being tough or suppressing emotions; it's about staying committed to your vision regardless of external chaos. She emphasises that it's natural to react to life's upheavals, but the true art lies in transitioning from reaction to creation. This philosophy equips individuals to remain steadfast in their vision, enabling them to navigate life's unpredictabilities with grace and persistence. It's about developing the nimbleness to recalibrate swiftly and consistently focus on building the life envisioned.Crafting and Living Your Vision NowJosselyne brings forth a transformative approach to vision creation where one doesn't wait for someday. Instead, she encourages crafting and living your dreams in the present. Unlike goals, which are tangible endpoints, visions are lived experiences that aren't reliant on circumstances and are fulfillable in the moment. She emphasises that achieving tangible goals without an overarching vision often leads to emptiness, whereas a vision constantly rejuvenates and fulfils us. The process illuminates how aligning with one's vision can imbue life with purpose and lead to holistic success.The Balance of Vision and VehicleIn exploring the intricacies of breadth in life's pursuits, Josselyne talks about the significance of distinguishing between vision and vehicles. Often, individuals become overly fixated on specific paths (vehicles) and lose sight of their broader vision. Josselyne stresses that numerous vehicles exist to manifest one's vision, thus providing flexibility and adaptability. When setbacks occur, it's an opportunity to explore alternative avenues rather than perceiving them as dead ends. This approach ensures one remains open to possibilities, cultivating a dynamic balance between aspirations and the means to achieve them.Building Resilience while Staying True to Your VisionResilience, as Josselyne discusses, transcends bouncing back from adversity. It's intricately linked with being unmessable, where one not only recovers but continues to progress towards their vision. It's about identifying personal cues of reaction and having mechanisms like physical or mental exercises to shift back to a space of creation. By utilising these strategies, one fosters resilience that is not just about maintaining status quo but about thriving and evolving continuously in alignment with one's vision.Creating a Vivid Roadmap through Vision CraftingIn the transformative journey with her clients, Josselyne stresses crafting an explicit vision as a roadmap. Her method involves articulating experiences one seeks in life, transcending material goals, and centering on emotions like freedom or connection. By shifting focus to experience, individuals construct a vibrant framework that steers every aspect of life harmoniously. This creates an undivided life view, integrating personal and professional endeavours under a unifying vision, leading to enriched and fulfilling experiences.Conclusion: The Empowering Path of Living Your Version of SuccessJosselyne Herman-Saccio's conversation inspires us to embrace the joy of living a life not bound by fears or constraints but fuelled by our authentic visions. Her insights unravel the profound impact of questioning beliefs and creating present-moment experiences of our dreams. Josselyne's teachings challenge us to step beyond conventional boundaries, realising a life where resilience, vision, and excellence are the norm. Let her transformative philosophy inspire you to pursue your potential and redefine success.Call to ActionConsider what limiting beliefs might hold you back from living your dreams.

Explore Josselyne's tools at her website and embrace the possibility of living your dream life now, not later.The Buzz - Our Innovation RoundHere are Josselyne's answers to the questions of our innovation round. Listen to the conversation to get the full scoop.* No. 1 thing to be more innovative – Be curious, as curiosity is in short supply and essential for innovation.* Best thing for new ideas – Engage with coaches to expand and develop yourself in any area.* Favourite resource – Utilise the writings and quotes of philosopher Alan Watts for inspiration and insight.* Keep project/client on track – Keep notes and hold clients to account to reveal and address what may be hindering their progress.* Differentiate – Instead of focusing on differentiation, seek to connect with everything and everyone, embracing the idea that we are all part of one entity.ActionJosselyne encourages you to start inquiring into your vision as opposed to your goals. Consider what the experience of life would be if your goals were accomplished, and begin exploring the world of vision to shift how you relate to yourself, others, and life.Reach OutYou can reach out and thank Josselyne by visiting her website, where you can explore her resources and free gifts.

Who else can say they've rocked the pop-stage and the personal development world?* Josselyne didn't just dip her toes into transformation—she dove in headfirst at age 11 with the EST training. By 18, she was already leading seminars at Landmark, making her the youngest seminar leader in their history.* Splitting her time between Manhattan and Paris, Josselyne lives the dream of a cosmopolitan lifestyle. But what's even cooler? She lends her Paris apartment to friends when she's not there—because why let a beautiful space (and plants!) go to waste?* Josselyne has managed actors, produced award-winning films, raised nearly $90 million for non-profits, and still finds time to coach people to live their dreams. If there's a hat to wear, she's probably rocked it—and made it look effortless.* Josselyne's philosophy of shifting from "survival to magic" isn't just a catchy phrase—it's a way of life. She's on a mission to help people rediscover the magic in their lives, proving that even in the chaos, there's room for wonder and joy.Imagine being a part of a select community where you not only have access to our amazing podcast guests, but you also get a chance to transform your marketing and podcast into a growth engine with a human-centered, relationship-focused approach.That's exactly what you'll get when you join the Flywheel Nation Community.Tap into the collective wisdom of high-impact achievers, gain exclusive access to resources, and expand your network in our vibrant community.Experience accelerated growth, breakthrough insights, and powerful connections to elevate your business.ACT NOW – secure your spot and transform your journey today!

What helps us stay connected to ourselves and our identities even when we're patients in a healthcare setting?This is the second episode in a 2-part series inspired by listener Debbie Margulies' powerful question about maintaining control in medical settings and managing unhelpful pity from others based on your medical condition. Elizabeth interviews oncology social worker Samantha Hulett about her experience working with patients and their families. In this conversation, Sam shares the importance of identifying for ourselves what our priorities are in life. In addition, she speaks to the importance of slowing ourselves and our providers down in order to ensure that our needs are getting met and we are getting the clarity we need. Key TakeawaysKeeping a journal by the bed can be a useful way to record any thoughts that arise when the distractions aren't as prevalent before bedtime. This can become a tool to help later formulate questions and concerns to take to the doctor. Value-based decision making can be helpful in determining your non-negotiable priorities in your life, even while undergoing medical treatment. Slowing ourselves down before, during, and after medical visits can help us remain clear about the questions we need answered, and to help us remain grounded and centered.
