Lost Your Marketing Mojo? Here's Exactly How to Get It Back
Every marketer loses their mojo at some point. The ideas stop flowing, the confidence dips, and suddenly you're staring at your to-do list wondering what happened to you.
In this episode, I'm sharing the January that nearly made me question my entire career — and the lunchtime walk that completely changed how I think about those flat, uninspired periods.
From AI Tools to AI Marketing Systems: What I’m Building Next
This is the final episode in my AI mini-series and it feels like a turning point.
Over the last few episodes I've taken you through how I actually use AI day to day, the mindset shift from speed to outcomes, how to prompt properly, how to build Custom GPTs, how to lead a team through it, and even how I used AI for a confidence boost before a keynote.
But this episode is different. This one is about what comes next.
Because I've hit a new ceiling and I want to share honestly where I am, what I'm trying to solve, and what I'm building towards over the next six weeks.
If you've been on this journey with me through the series, this is the episode that takes it a level further. This is a great place to start thinking bigger about what AI can actually do for your marketing.
Ai for Confidence: The Unexpected Use Case
Two hours before a keynote to 80+ marketers, I was sitting in a freezing Starbucks trying not to spiral. What if I rush? What if I blank? Is 25 minutes even enough time? (Especially when the last time I spoke, I fully blanked for ten seconds and still think about it.)
I couldn’t call anyone. I didn’t want to stand outside in the freezing cold rehearsing to myself. So I did something unexpected.
With not many options, on a whim, I opened ChatGPT and asked for a pep talk. In this episode, I walk you through exactly what I did. And the result? One of the best keynotes I’ve delivered.
How to Lead Your Team Through AI (Even When You're Still Learning It Yourself)
This episode isn't about how to use AI. It's about how to lead a team through learning it, when you're figuring it out yourself at the same time.
I'm sharing the exact things I've put in place this year when it comes to being a marketing leader figuring it out as we go.
If you manage a marketing team and you want to create an environment where AI actually gets used, not just talked about, this episode is especially for you.
Stop Starting From Scratch: How To Build Custom GPTs for Marketers
If you’re still opening a new ChatGPT window every time you need something, re-explaining your company, your audience, your tone and your strategy from scratch… we need to talk.
Custom GPTs completely changed how I use AI in my marketing. Not because they made me faster (although they did), but because they raised the standard of my results.
In this episode, I’m breaking down what Custom GPTs actually are, when you should use them (and when you absolutely shouldn’t), and the exact step-by-step process I use to build them properly. I’m also sharing real marketing examples so you can see how this works beyond theory.
If you want AI to improve your marketing quality this episode will change how you think about using it.
How to Prompt Like a Pro: Smarter AI Starts With You
Most marketers don’t have an AI problem. They have a prompting problem.
If you’ve ever typed something into ChatGPT, hit enter, and felt underwhelmed by what came back this episode is for you.
In this one, I’m breaking down why prompting is the real skill behind great AI outputs, how to brief it properly, and the small shifts that completely change the quality of what you get back.
Because smarter AI doesn’t start with better tech, It starts with you.
Using AI Without the Overwhelm Spiral: How I Actually Save Time as a Marketer
A lot has changed in how we use AI at work, so it was time to update this one.
In this refreshed 2026 episode, I’m sharing how I actually use AI in my marketing role to save time, without falling into the overwhelm spiral that so many of us hit when tools evolve faster than our workflows.
This isn’t about shiny new features or doing everything in ChatGPT. It’s about:
Putting guardrails around AI so it supports your thinking instead of hijacking it
Using AI as a decision helper, not a decision maker
Getting to draft zero faster, simplifying stakeholder work, and reclaiming time in your week
I’m also sharing the moment I realised AI wasn’t making me more productive and what I changed to fix it.
If it’s been a while since you last rethought how you use AI at work, consider this your reset.
You're Saving Time with AI…Now What? Redesigning Your Strategy for Real Results
Last week, we talked about using AI to save time in your marketing work.
This week, we’re going a level deeper.
Because here’s the realisation I had to face: even though AI was helping me move faster, I was still working in exactly the same way. Same processes. Same pressure. Just… sped up.
And speed isn’t the outcome.
In this episode, I’m sharing the mindset shift that helped me move from task-level productivity to rethinking how marketing actually works and tying that work back to the outcomes that matter.

You’ll hear what worked, what didn’t, and the patterns behind both from hook speed and brand clarity to why “vibes” and celebrity cameos don’t automatically equal a great concept.
