  • Yikes

    28 episodes and only 2 women guests? And all the other episodes are just spammy, bro marketing hustle advice. What a reflection of your company.

  • Stop with the clickbait titles please

    I’ve listened to 5+ episodes now. Some of the content is good. That said, these episode titles have got to stop. Almost all of them are pure clickbait and have little to do with what actually gets discussed in the episode. Suggestion: make your titles about who you’re interviewing and their qualifications. There’s so many snake oil salesmen in the SEO world. I want more proof of credibility… your first several podcast episode titles are much better

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Copywriting Is a Dead Skill | Neville Medhora
Q: Are people losing jobs? Are people able to do more work and earn more money?
The community of copywriters is shrinking as low-level roles disappear, but personal consulting for high-level copywriting is experiencing growth due to companies returning to human-generated content.
Copywriting Is a Dead Skill | Neville Medhora
Q: Do you think by the end of this episode, people would be discouraged to pursue the career of copywriting, or would they be excited about all the opportunity that they now have on their hands?
There are three levels of copywriting: low level, mid level, and high level. Low level copywriting jobs are disappearing due to AI. Those in mid level might struggle, but high level copywriters will still have opportunities.
