Successful brands are built when customers talk about you, not you talking about you.▲ Hide transcript
Permission is the idea of delivering anticipated, personal, and relevant messages to people who want to get them. Not spamming them, but being missed if you were gone. And most of the time, successful brands are built with your customers talking about you, not you talking about you. So some people, because that's where the money is, think marketing is about spend. Right? It's not. Marketing is about creating the conditions for other people to eagerly spread your idea. So now, to answer your question, it's becoming really clear because in an era of AI, in an era of too much noise and not enough attention, it's almost impossible to hustle your way to success.

Trust is built when you keep real promises, especially when it's hard.▲ Hide transcript
A brand is a promise. It's an expectation. The example I like to use is this. If Hyatt Hotels announced that they were coming out with a line of sneakers, we have no idea what it would be like. But if Nike announced they were opening a hotel, we know exactly what it would be like. Because Nike has a brand and Hyatt has a logo. So you make a promise when you show up. And trust is super simple. Trust is, do I think you're going to keep your promise? Did you keep your promise? So if you make audacious promises constantly and you don't keep them, then you're the Wizard of Oz. I don't trust you. But if you make real promises and keep them when it's hard, especially when it's hard, that's how you build trust.
