What if the “perfect” marketing career path doesn't exist? Tamara sits down with Harvey Lee, a marketer who's done it all (from launching the first Xbox to touring with rock stars) to unpack how curiosity, reinvention, and trying new things shaped his wildly nontraditional career. Harvey shares how to make sense of a “messy” resume and why most marketers are climbing the wrong ladder. And, what does it mean to define success? He breaks down the difference between acquisition and alignment, how to find your transferable niche without boxing yourself in, and why the smartest marketers stop waiting for permission and start leading with action. If you've ever felt behind, burned out, or boxed in by your job title, this episode is a must-listen. Harvey's advice will help you build a career that fits you…not the other way around.

On this week's Keepin It Real, it's Friday and Cam's brain has had enough. He once wanted to keep going. Now, he's just hoping to make it to today. ----- I can remember complaining that there simply weren't enough days in the week to get all the stuff I needed get done done. I wished that each day was longer and the work week had more days to it. I wanted a twelve-hour workday and a ten-day work week and a three-day break at the end. That would be preferred, I thought. That way I could get everything done and take a break when it was over. Wow, have times changed. Or maybe I've changed. Maybe it's age or wisdom, but I don't feel the same way about work anymore. I usually charge out of bed on Monday morning with a to-do list that I made Sunday evening. I hit the list hard Monday and Tuesday, adding things to it along the way. By Wednesday I can feel my energy beginning to fade. I'm watching dumb TV at night rather than reading. Thursday morning, I try to get a few simple things done because I know that lunch on Thursday about the last time, I'll be productive that week. Friday, I make a show of it. I leave the easy items on my to-do list for Friday so I can feel like I've done something as I check them off and by lunch on Friday I'm cooked. My brain is fried. I'm tired. Nothing more will get done until my list making begins again on Sunday. At my gym, one of the trainers asked if I wanted to join her workout at 5:30pm on Fridays. It caught me off guard. I laughed a little and told her that by 5:30pm on Friday I'm useless and beginning a workout at that time on a Friday was out of my world of possibilities. I'm more likely to be having a beer with friends or in a ball on the couch, beaten to death by the work week. An organized workout is nowhere near being on my radar. The trainer is young. She looked confused. I didn't even try to explain. I'm beginning to appreciate dentists hours more and more. My dentist begins reminding me of an upcoming appointment about six weeks out with a barrage of texts and an automated voice mail, nearly threatening me to not miss my appointment. The dentist also attaches emotions to their message, as if missing or having to reschedule will hurt their feelings. I feel ashamed and like I've let them down if I have to reschedule. When I arrive, I see they pack their patients into the workweek so that they can take half a day off on Wednesday and a whole day off on Friday. His office is a spinning carousel of open mouths and teeth and the dentist is on the move from patient to patient. But call him after noon on Wednesday or on Friday and you'll get the answering machine. He's gone. So is his team. But my phone is still buzzing with automated messages telling me about my upcoming appointment and how they'll be heartbroken and maybe even cry a little if I can't make it. However, by the time Friday rolls around, I think my dentist and I are living the same dream. He's locked his office door, and I'm shutting down my brain. He's earned his day off, and I've earned the right to stare at nothing for a while. Maybe that's how grown-ups measure success — not by how much we get done, but by how guilt-free we can be when we finally stop trying. I'm Cam Marston and I'm just trying to keep it real.
B2B content doesn't have to be boring. Just ask Adam McQueen, the mind behind Klue's Compete Network, one of the first true B2B media arms built inside a SaaS brand. In this episode, Tamara flips the script on her former producer to unpack how Klue turned a traditional marketing team into a content powerhouse. Adam shares the early vision behind working with creators before “B2B influencer” was even a thing, how to design shows that are both entertaining and tied to business outcomes, and why the best marketing teams think like media companies. They also break down the behind-the-scenes of Ready for Launch, from concept to distribution strategy, and reveal the systems that make creative marketing sustainable for small teams. If you've ever wondered how to build content your audience actually wants (or how to prove the ROI of creativity) this conversation is your playbook.

October 16, 2025: Amazon is cutting 15% of its HR team, signaling a shift from administrative people functions to data-driven, AI-powered HR. Younger workers are turning to TikTok and ChatGPT to understand their benefits instead of relying on HR portals. Facebook is re-entering the job market, bringing hiring into local digital communities. Microsoft says AI could save over 12 billion hours a year—but only if we manage “shadow AI” responsibly. And billionaire CEO Ken Griffin predicts a future where humans work just three days a week. In this episode, Jacob Morgan breaks down what these stories really mean for leaders. What happens when HR becomes more automated than human? Why are employees trusting algorithms and influencers more than their companies? And how do leaders create balance between productivity and purpose in an AI-driven world? Each story reveals a deeper truth: technology may change how we work, but leadership defines why we work.

What makes a product launch actually land? And why do so many fall flat? Daniel's OUT, Tamara's IN. She sits down with marketing leader Julien Savauge to unpack the difference between a launch and a go-to-market strategy, why most teams treat “launch day” as the end when it should be the beginning, and how great marketers use story to shift perception. So what matters more: release dates or momentum? Julien shares lessons from his time at Salesforce, Gong, and beyond, reveals why pre-launch momentum matters more than release dates, how to avoid internal misalignment, and why launches fail when they're built from the inside out. If you've ever wrestled with a launch that didn't hit its mark, struggled to get cross-functional buy-in, or wondered how to make your messaging actually resonate, this is the episode for you.

Think you're sending too many emails? Spoiler alert: you're probably not sending enough. Daniel and Jay bust the email amount myth. They dig into why frequency and relevancy go hand in hand, why “unsubscribes” can actually be a good thing, and how send timing is wildly overrated. More emails = more engagement (when the content doesn't suck). And, do subject lines and emojis actually matter? They do, and testing them is a way to figure out what actually moves the needle. If you're a Marketer who wants to lock in on email strategy, this is the episode for you.

Want to grow faster on LinkedIn without burning out on daily posts? It's all in the comments section. Daniel and Jay share how a comment-first strategy helped The Marketing Millennials gain thousands of new followers in a single year, outpacing traditional posting. Daniel reveals how LinkedIn's new comment impressions feature signals a shift: comments can now generate as much or more reach than traditional posts. Comments can act like “mini-posts” inside someone else's thread. Plus, how do you take advantage of adding images to your comments? Comments that have memes or quick insights perform better than text-only. They also give you a chance to test ideas in comments before committing to a full company post. If you're a Marketer looking to up your LinkedIn engagement, this is the episode for you.

Zoom’s CEO: A 3-day workweek is coming soon thanks to AI, plus A.I Trump weighs in. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Rapid growth excites, but without systems it leads to burnout. James shows how a 3-day work week can achieve both revenue and work-life balance.
Visit today's blog post here. One of the best ways I've created more stability in my business (and life) while working a 3-day workweek is through something I call gold space. This is different than white space because white space means we are doing absolutely nothing. And in my book, that literally never happens for women, and it also terrifies us to be completely still and quiet.

In this week's episode of Lessons from a Quitter, I share a personal experiment I've started in my own business: taking Mondays and Fridays off to create a three-day workweek. While it sounds dreamy on the surface, the reality has been much messier—and that's exactly why I wanted to bring it to you. We dive into how hustle culture and perfectionism make rest feel uncomfortable, why our brains resist slowing down, and how important it is to give ourselves permission to experiment. This conversation is about challenging old rules, embracing imperfection, and creating more space for what you truly want.
