Podcasts about workweek

Buckle up buttercups, we're diving into the panacea or peril of the four-day workweek. As always, we get to use our critical minds and decide for ourselves.   SHOW NOTES The five-day workweek is one of the the results of worker safer reforms in the 1930s.  As a society, we concluded and adopted laws that provided greater compensation for workers when they worked in excess of 40 hours in a week.   This was consistent with what has been a 100 year trend of working less - at least until the 1970s—when we started working more. This working more may explain the growing number of companies and countries (aka Iceland) that have adopted the four day work week,   Let's start with Iceland—the poster child for all kinds of worker and gender rights.  After a wildly successful pilot starting in 2015, 90% of its workforce now enjoys a 36-hour week, full pay, and more time for fjords, knitting, or just plain breathing. The best part? Productivity didn't drop. In some sectors, it rose, as did mental health and happiness. It sounds like employee satisfaction and improved mental health for the win!! Here in the U.S., four-day weeks are gaining ground. In 2024, 22% of workers said their employers offer one (up from 14% in 2022). But not all 4-day weeks are created equal. Some compress 40 hours into four 10-hour marathons, while others reduce hours and pay and, the best for employees, reduced hours without a reduction in pay.  Still, it's not all sunshine and extra Sundays. Critics warn of scheduling chaos, uneven workloads, and—gasp—selection bias in studies. And let's be honest, if the culture still glorifies overwork, slapping on a shorter week won't fix burnout. So what now? Tune in for the full scoop—history, data, debates, and what it takes to truly work less and live more.

What should you NOT do in marketing? There's lots, but Daniel and Jay are breaking it down in seven parts.  First, when you market to everybody, you're actually marketing to nobody. You're gonna be more successful with a specific customer set in mind. Plus, narrowing it down makes positioning and messaging way easier.  Also, are “best practices” actually outdated? Jay thinks so. Every time you hear about a best practice, it's best to test it out for yourself.  And, Daniel reminds us that skipping strategy and going straight to tactics is a NO-no. Who are you running ads to? What's the offer? When, why, what, and how? These are questions that you need to start off with, not answer along the way.  This short ‘n sweet Bathroom Break is all about avoiding what you can and doing better.

Have you noticed more and more people are watching women's sports?  This episode's guest, Andrew LeRay of the National Women's Soccer League, is on a mission to grow the league through brand, product, and more. How do you sell tickets and merchandise to people who may not know the league exists? Andrew suggests that education and brand awareness are the two concepts driving people to think about the NWSL.  What are some ways Andrew has changed targeting strategies for the brand? Since coming into the role about two years ago, Andrew talks about how strategies back then were about retention and how the focus is now on creating messaging to welcome new viewers.   Plus, the NWSL has ties with US Soccer and other national teams. How do you leverage the popularity of more famous players in the league when they're away from their national teams? With the retirements of Alex Morgan and Megan Rapinoe, there's a new set of players to be on the lookout for. Women's soccer doesn't just happen at the World Cup or the Olympics, so the league is THE place to watch it while you wait for the next tournament.  If you're a marketer who wants to learn more about growing or reshaping a brand, this is the episode for you.  Follow Andrew: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewleray/ Follow Daniel: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themarketingmillennials/featured Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/Dmurr68 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-murray-marketing Sign up for The Marketing Millennials newsletter: www.workweek.com/brand/the-marketing-millennials Daniel is a Workweek friend, working to produce amazing podcasts.

Small brands are up against bigger ones all the time. So, how can you be small but mighty? It's easy to get swept up in competition and copy what other brands are doing, like using similar words and taglines. BUT, if you do this, you risk being a cookie-cutter product. The best brands don't try to copy. They try to be unique. Enter: contrast marketing.  It's more than just about listing features and fancy words…What storyline does your product tell? Tamara and Daniel recall the Justin Long PC commercials.   If you're looking to make a statement and do something different compared to other brands in your field, this is the episode for YOU…and it's short and sweet. ⌛ Follow Tamara: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tamaragrominsky/ Follow Daniel: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themarketingmillennials/featured Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/Dmurr68 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-murray-marketing Sign up for The Marketing Millennials newsletter: www.workweek.com/brand/the-marketing-millennials Daniel is a Workweek friend, working to produce amazing podcasts.

A lot of marketers think launch starts on launch day…and they're very wrong.  In this new miniseries called Go To Market Plays, Daniel and Tamara break down go to market strategies in ten minutes or less. Tamara insists the best launches start months in advance, not just when you hit publish.  Plus, Daniel and Tamara talk about launch seeding. People put too much pressure on launch day when it should really include moments before and after, so you're not relying on just one day. Tamara gives an example from the Notion AI launch, too.  And, how does being an early adopter of a product lead to brand loyalty? It's all about how your product makes people feel.  If you're looking to launch something soon and need to clean up the strategy for it, this is the episode for YOU…and it's short and sweet. ⌛ Follow Tamara: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tamaragrominsky/ Podcast: Do This, Not That Follow Daniel: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themarketingmillennials/featured Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/Dmurr68 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-murray-marketing Sign up for The Marketing Millennials newsletter: www.workweek.com/brand/the-marketing-millennials Daniel is a Workweek friend, working to produce amazing podcasts.

How do you get people to actually open emails AND engage with you?  Daniel and Jay have some tips for you to take. First, you have to treat every email like it's the receiver's first email ever. Unlike social, you can't just phone it in, so you HAVE to make it good right off the bat.  Should you kick the non-engaged people off? Jay says that you should, because having a highly engaged list is better than a bigger one who doesn't really interact with your content.  And, Daniel suggests putting read times in your pre-headers could be the secret sauce to enticing readers. Can you test read times, emojis, and other creative things in pre-headers? Absolutely.  This short ‘n sweet Bathroom Break is all about doing a little more with emails and seeing more impact.

AI isn't just a search engine and it isn't just for research. It can be your secret weapon.  Daniel's sharing five prompts that can help YOU with generative AI. It's more than just typing in a request and waiting for it to spit something out. Start building on your original request with questions like, “What emotional triggers are popping up?” or, “Why should people buy my product?” This gives you an opportunity to dig deeper and be more unique.  Plus, how can ChatGPT help you with positioning? It's a great way to reveal cracks and potential misfires in your already-existing strategy.   And, it's time to get your ICP in their feelings. What does ChatGPT suggest for emotional tactics? If you're looking to make AI a better tool for you and your brand, this is the episode.

Why create a new category instead of competing in an already existing one?  This episode's guest, Kari Hanson of Robin, is no stranger to creating, building, and scaling new things. Creating a new category is a great way to reframe the competitive landscape and requisition the status quo. There's more than one way to solve problems, and your product could be the answer to it.  And, what should you do when it comes to positioning? There are a couple of ways to do it, from reframing how people usually think about topics to even looking at one specific feature that you have and others don't.  Plus, when “thought leaders” are mentioned, who do you think of? Kari gives us her view and explains what problems thought leaders are facing.  If you're a marketer who wants to learn more about being a first mover in a new space, this is the episode for you.  Follow Kari: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karihanson/ Follow Daniel: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themarketingmillennials/featured Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/Dmurr68 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-murray-marketing Sign up for The Marketing Millennials newsletter: www.workweek.com/brand/the-marketing-millennials Daniel is a Workweek friend, working to produce amazing podcasts.

 There are so many things required from us as women in this modern life, that it's possible you need a reminder: the whole point of scalable freedom in your business means that you get to create something incredible in your business alongside having an incredible life. And that means we need to constantly check in and reimagine what it looks like to show up in our business – without tapping into old industrial revolution stories about how we need to work. Today, I'm sharing my insights on how I've successfully integrated a 4 day work week model into my own business through a mastermind framework. Strategies for a Successful Four-Day Work WeekLet's talk strategy. Moving to a 4 day work week wasn't about doing less; it was about doing things more efficiently. I've adopted several strategies that keep me laser-focused and ensure that my productivity remains high:1. Prioritising What Matters: My time has become incredibly precious, especially with my daughter involved. I'm extremely discerning about how I spend each moment. If something doesn't feel worth missing time with Sunny, it doesn't make the cut.2. Embracing Deep Work: Tools like the Opal app have been game-changers. By blocking social media during evenings and mornings, I've carved out space for deep, uninterrupted work. This focus not only improves productivity but also the quality of work I produce.3. Communication and Boundaries: Clear communication with my team is vital. Everyone knows I don't work Fridays, so tasks need to be completed by Thursday afternoon. This clarity ensures that my workweek flows smoothly and that my team can function effectively without my constant availability.Balancing Work and Personal LifeThe beauty of running a mastermind model is its flexibility. Even within my structured workdays, I still find time to show up for my clients, attend to essential tasks and focus on my family. Life calls for us to wear many hats, whether it's being a parent, a business owner, or a friend. This model allows me to honour each of those roles without spreading myself too thin.Reimagining What Success Looks Like for YouAs we move through Q2, I want to encourage you to reflect on what success looks like for your business. Could a 4 day work week enhance your life too? Remember, life and business shouldn't be a relentless hustle. It's about finding that sweet spot where you have the freedom to enjoy your life and the satisfaction of running a flourishing business.I'm excited about the growth this approach can create, should you choose it—not only in your productivity, but in the time and quality you give to your life and loved ones. Connect with Ellie: Previous episode mentioned: How I Structure my days, weeks and months as a CEO of a mastermind business model and mama"Be the first to know when doors open to the Swiftmind Scaled Mastermind (the ONLY chance to be coached by me in 2024): https://ellieswift.com/mastermind Website:      https://www.ellieswift.com/Instagram:   @elliehswiftFacebook Group:    www.facebook.com/groups/shineonsocialellieswift/

Money doesn't grow on trees, we all know that. But, you don't need to break the bank to see results.   Daniel says that if you start boosting Instagram posts with $10 to $20 a week, you can still see meaningful results. Lots of people are under the impression that Instagram and Meta costs a ton of money, and that's just not the case.  Plus, you can even save some money if you want to network at industry events—without paying outrageous amounts of money in ticket fees. Jay shares how an exhibit hall hang out could be what you need.  And, how do microinfluencers play a role in all of this? Sending them your product may be the right move.  This short ‘n sweet Bathroom Break is all about spending less $$$ and seeing more impact.

In this series, we will work together to uncover what the Bible says on different topics and encourage each other in our faith as Romans 10:24 encourages: "And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching." This series may be a bit unorthodox and unique, but we hope to learn from scripture and each other on how to become WISE, EXPERIENCE CHANGE, and HAVE HOPE.

Have a dog? If you're a Millennial or Gen Z, there's a good chance you're already owning your first pet. But do you have pet insurance? According to statistics, you probably don't.  This episode's guest, Trey Ferro, is in the business of making sure you and your pet are insured. From unexpected vet visits to making sure your pup is fully vaccinated, pet insurance can help you have peace of mind. But how do you market such a “complicated” product? The answer is personalization.  Offering tiers and personalized quotes is a step in the right direction. Another strategy includes rapid transparency and education, especially for younger consumers who may not know how insurance even works. How do you create urgency when the general public doesn't get your value prop right off the bat? And, just how important is a good CTA? Trey reveals the double digit number difference between a good CTA and a bad one.  If you're a marketer who wants to learn more about marketing tougher and more unique products, this is the episode for you.  Follow Trey: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/trey-ferro-320240141/ Follow Daniel: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themarketingmillennials/featured Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/Dmurr68 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-murray-marketing Sign up for The Marketing Millennials newsletter: www.workweek.com/brand/the-marketing-millennials Daniel is a Workweek friend, working to produce amazing podcasts.

What do you get when you mix hats, social media channels, and a bunch of dads? Bart Szaniewski and his buddies created Dad Gang with the mission of bringing dads together with cool hats. At first, it was all about creativity. And then it blossomed into multiple channels and multiple dads sharing their stories. Copy and captions became even more important. Hats were being sold faster than they could make them. How can you develop FOMO in your audience? It's as easy as creating a sense of urgency for your next drop.  Plus, Bart reveals how using a private Facebook group may be the key to hearing more from your audience.  And, Dad Gang recently launched an app and is using SMS. What are some pros and cons of implementing these ideas at your brand?  If you're a marketer who wants to learn more about scaling via social media or how SMS and apps can further your brand's presence, this is the episode for you.  Follow Bart: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bart-szaniewski-374b1141/ Follow Daniel: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themarketingmillennials/featured Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/Dmurr68 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-murray-marketing Sign up for The Marketing Millennials newsletter: www.workweek.com/brand/the-marketing-millennials Daniel is a Workweek friend, working to produce amazing podcasts.

Think about all the acronyms you use as a Marketer: BOFU, TTM, CAC, the list goes on. You and your coworkers might know what they mean, but the general population doesn't. So, this episode is all about the importance of keeping things simple and easy to understand.  Daniel mentions his general rule: make sure your copy is written so simply that a five-year-old can read it. If you're talking over people's heads or using language they can't understand, it won't convert. Jay mentions that you don't want to embarrass anyone, so avoiding acronyms and complicated language is a great start.  Plus, how does describing a dish at a restaurant relate to content marketing? Jay gives an example.  This short ‘n sweet Bathroom Break is all about keeping it simple so everyone's on the same page.

Daniel's solo and he's gonna teach you how to write better.  You need a hook or something that's going to really capture attention. (Most people decide if they're gonna read something within the first two seconds.) Then, cut the fluff. You don't need flowery language or fancy writing to get the job done.  Plus, do you really need a stronger opinion, or will your audience read anyway? Daniel says yes to the former and reveals why.  If you're looking to sharpen your writing skills, this is the episode for YOU. ✏️ Follow Daniel: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themarketingmillennials/featured Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/Dmurr68 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-murray-marketing Sign up for The Marketing Millennials newsletter: www.workweek.com/brand/the-marketing-millennials Daniel is a Workweek friend, working to produce amazing podcasts.

Healthcare is a HUGE industry. Marketing it is even bigger. How do you make sure it's effective? This episode's guest, Andrea Becker, has seen it all during her 25 years in the healthcare marketing industry. And the KEY that hasn't changed is trust. People's health is no joke, and neither is access to care, information about symptoms, and tips and tricks. How can you build trust within your content? How do you make your content stand out amongst all the noise and (sometimes fake) information? Plus, the biggest challenge of healthcare marketing is that there's SO much, including insurance companies and laws about advertising, that varies by area and even social media platform.  And, healthcare marketing is using AI to its benefit. But it's nothing to freak out about; Andrea reveals nothing will ever really be fully automated in the industry.  If you're a marketer who wants to learn more about the healthcare space and how it differs between generations, countries, and more, this is the episode for you.  Follow Andrea: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrealbecker Follow Daniel: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themarketingmillennials/featured Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/Dmurr68 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-murray-marketing Sign up for The Marketing Millennials newsletter: www.workweek.com/brand/the-marketing-millennials Daniel is a Workweek friend, working to produce amazing podcasts.

From 03/10 Hour 1: The Sports Junkies kick off the show by highlighting Friday's alt cast.

Adam Ryan, CEO of Workweek, joined me this week to discuss his recent warning that the newsletter sector is overheated. Some points from the conversation:Newsletters are a commodity. The number of newsletters is growing faster than the number of readers. AI tools and cheap platforms like Beehiv have made launching one easy, but most newsletters lack true audience affinity.The inbox is not really a direct connection. It's a platform like any other, subject to change. Apple's Mail Privacy Protection has broken open rates, AI tools like Superhuman summarize newsletters without opening them, and inboxes are being segmented, reducing visibility.Paid growth is a weak foundation. Many newsletters rely on paid acquisition and cross-promotion. The moment that engine turns off, engagement often collapses because there's no real audience connection.Winners are thinking beyond email. The most successful publishers are building businesses around community, events, and services. Morning Brew, Workweek, and Lenny's Newsletter all extend beyond just newsletters.Newsletters are a starting point, not a business. They are an MVP—a way to build an audience—but real success comes from expanding into new distribution and monetization channels.

Think about your company's merch and swag bags. They could use a refresh, right? Who wants another mug with your logo or a battery pack that won't charge anything? Jay reveals the biggest mistake when it comes to merch: contests. Why? You need to give people the perception that they actually have a chance to win the item.  Plus, Daniel talks about how your items need to BE creative if you want to be seen as a creative brand. If not, there's a good chance it'll end up being unmemorable and in a landfill somewhere.  This short ‘n sweet Bathroom Break is all about giveaways, fun little trinkets, and how you can get everyone excited about repping your brand.

In this series, we will work together to uncover what the Bible says on different topics and encourage each other in our faith as Romans 10:24 encourages: "And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching." This series may be a bit unorthodox and unique, but we hope to learn from scripture and each other on how to become WISE, EXPERIENCE CHANGE, and HAVE HOPE. 

How do you create trust between your brand and its audience? How do you get people to truly know what you're all about? Google something right now. What's the first thing that pops up on the page? In the past, you'd say a website link or shopping suggestions. But now, you get AI summaries, suggestions, and more. We've got Marcus Sheridan to break down what's happening and how SEO is transforming alongside AI capabilities. If your business is built on solely Google Ads and Google Search, it's time to venture out and seek AI-focused strategies.  And, Marcus talks about the buyer's journey and how it's evolving. Gone are the days of needing a quote and requesting via form. Instead, companies are realizing that being upfront and transparent about cost are doing much better than those who don't—and it's all a part of a customer-featured self service model.  Plus, how should companies measure and track success? The reality is that we can't actually measure as accurately as we'd like to, BUT there's so many ways to reframe success.  If you're a marketer who wants to level up your brand's AI game and keep up with what's happening with the latest in UX/CX, this is the episode for you.  Follow Marcus: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcussheridan/ Follow Daniel: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themarketingmillennials/featured Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/Dmurr68 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-murray-marketing Sign up for The Marketing Millennials newsletter: www.workweek.com/brand/the-marketing-millennials Daniel is a Workweek friend, working to produce amazing podcasts.

We have an “in.” And she's giving us the deets on everyone's favorite platform, LinkedIn.  Unlike other platforms, LinkedIn is all about businesses, professionals, and industry information. So when all of these things come together, there's so much to talk about. Alex Rynne, Senior Content Marketing Manager at LinkedIn, has seen it all in her 10+ years at the company. From profile faux pas to scaling B2B brands, she's seen it ebb and flow. What are the mistakes that brands are making? Why should (or shouldn't) a brand have a page? And, Alex shares that video is here to stay on LinkedIn. What kind of videos should be posted? What's the general consensus on short form video? (Hint: LinkedIn will never be TikTok. And that's perfectly fine.) Plus, what's up with all the random commenting? Daniel and Alex share how commenting on others' posts can really make a difference in engagement. If you're a marketer who wants to grow your brand and create meaningful connections on LinkedIn, this is the episode for you.  Follow Alex: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexandrarynne/ Follow Daniel: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themarketingmillennials/featured Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/Dmurr68 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-murray-marketing Sign up for The Marketing Millennials newsletter: www.workweek.com/brand/the-marketing-millennials Daniel is a Workweek friend, working to produce amazing podcasts.

In this series, we will work together to uncover what the Bible says on different topics and encourage each other in our faith as Romans 10:24 encourages: "And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching." This series may be a bit unorthodox and unique, but we hope to learn from scripture and each other on how to become WISE, EXPERIENCE CHANGE, and HAVE HOPE. 

Now that events are back in-person, are you going to them? This episode's guest, Aya Robinson of Opry Entertainment Group, shares why going to events in your community is more than just about showing up. It's a way to interact with and learn from the people near you. For example, when Aya moved to Nashville, she was able to attend events with associations like the local American Marketing Association chapter. It's a great way to meet new people if you're new to the job or the area in general.  Plus, outreach is a huge part of growing local organizations. If you're in charge of your organization or club, how do you expand? Who should you contact? The answer is usually the marketing teams at related companies.  And, Aya shares some pretty valuable advice about reaching out to others, even if you feel hesitant.  If you're a marketer who wants to grow your network and create meaningful connections beyond just LinkedIn, this is the episode for you.  Follow Aya: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aya-robinson/ Follow Daniel: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themarketingmillennials/featured Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/Dmurr68 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-murray-marketing Sign up for The Marketing Millennials newsletter: www.workweek.com/brand/the-marketing-millennials Daniel is a Workweek friend, working to produce amazing podcasts.

It feels like influencers have been around forever: from QVC presenters to modern TikTok UGC creators, we're surrounded by them all the time. But there's still lots to learn about where influencer marketing could go in the future.  Ryan Roth is the Assistant Manager of Social Media and Influencer Marketing at Peter Thomas Roth Clinical Skincare, a brand that's in the highly competitive skincare market.

It's the fastest, cheapest way, especially for Peter Thomas Roth's products.  Also, let's talk about TikTok shop.

Take a look at your tech stack. It needs some cleaning, right?  Spring is weeks away, but Daniel's already thinking about spring cleaning: decluttering your tech stack should be at the top of your list. It cuts dead weight, makes things more efficient, and saves money in general. What are you using? What are you NOT using? Take some inventory of what's going on and what you can consolidate.  Plus, many teams are running multiple automation tools when you really only need one. Which one should you ditch?  And, your tech stack shouldn't just work for TODAY. Think about the future. When you scale, will your stack follow? Or will you need to move to something else? What your team says about the tools also has a ton of weight on these decisions.  If you're looking to clean some things up, this is the episode for YOU.
