In this episode, Mike and Eric rewind the tape on how the Marketing Team of One Podcast went from a long-running idea to an actual, consistent show. They walk through the early days, starting from the "do we really need a podcast?" debates, down to the realization that talking out loud works a lot better for them than staring at a blinking cursor. Each share the moments that shaped the podcast: the practical reasons behind choosing video, the decision to keep things conversational, the push for consistency, and the way they use each episode to help solo marketers feel less buried by the work.
It's part origin story, part creative therapy session, and part reminder that sometimes the best marketing you can do is simply showing up as yourself whether it be on camera, in real time, or figuring it out as you go.
