Marketing Nuggets
Your marketing mentor & biggest cheerleader, here to share the real, messy, beautiful truth about what it takes to level up your marketing, productivity, and confidence. Whether you're drowning in B2B complexity, chasing B2C creativity, or staring at a to-do list that feels impossible, I'm spilling everything from my 12+ years that I wish I'd known.
We're talking award-winning campaigns that started as complete disasters, the late-night brainstorms that changed everything, and the systems that actually move the needle (plus the epic fails that taught me the most). Because here's what I know for sure: success doesn't happen in isolation. It's about building marketing strategies that work, creating unshakeable confidence for the big scary moments, and using productivity systems that achieve your marketing goals.
No matter where you are in your journey - from graduate to director - this podcast is for ambitious marketers ready to stop playing small and embrace the mess of figuring things out to have a successful and fulfilling marketing career.
Come for the stories. Stay for the strategies that actually work.

123: From Marketing Expert to People Manager: Building Confidence in Your New Role
They promoted you because you were great at marketing. Now you spend zero time doing marketing and all your time managing marketers. Welcome to one most confusing transitions of your career.
You went from being confident in your marketing skills to feeling like you're winging it every day as a people manager. Different game, different skills, same determination to be a high performing marketer.
If you're feeling like you traded expertise for confusion, this episode is your roadmap back to confidence.
In this episode, I'm tackling the four sentences that crush new managers' confidence:
- "My designer knows more about design than I ever will"
- "What if my team asks me a question and I don't know the answer?"
- "How can I do all of my work and be a great manager?"
- "How and what do I give feedback on?"
This isn't about becoming perfect at people management overnight, it's about building authentic confidence in your new role while you're still figuring it out.
Perfect for: Newly promoted marketing managers, experienced marketers struggling with the people management transition, and anyone who feels like they're faking it as a leader.
