Ep 0, Trashcan Turkey and Vanity Marketing

Sun, 29 Nov 2020 02:08:32 GMT

We spend a lot of time focused on the appearance of our marketing efforts sometimes. It can lead to paralysis, a feeling we can only market when we can afford "professional help" or that any marketing that isn't visually and technically perfect will somehow damage our brand. Trashcan turkey can cure that. It doesn't look pretty to make your holiday feast in a dumpster fire, but it sure does taste good!

I share my Thanksgiving turkey recipe and show you how sometimes the process doesn't have to be elegant to achieve amazing results!
