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.

142: Using AI Without the Overwhelm Spiral: How I Actually Save Time as a Marketer
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
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.
