“These guys chose to make this podcast, and provide lots of free, high-quality content to people who crave marketing knowledge.
But as the old saying goes, there is no such thing as a free lunch.
You will pay for the marketing knowledge, by listening to the hosts repeatedly do the following:
1.) Talk about fishing trips and vacations with famous people.
2.) Exchange small talk
3.) Plug "the genius network" repeatedly. And I mean repeatedly. If you don't believe me, listen to the episode "The Apathy Obstacle." You might think "Oh, this episode is about reaching apathetic target demographics??" No. It is over 1 hour of 2 men saying the words "Genius network" repeatedly toward one another, on a phone call.
Is the juice worth the squeeze? Yes. Pick the episodes wisely, and you will be better for listening to this podcast. Pick the wrong episode, and you will end up listening to two men, on a phone call, saying "The genius network...."
"And the thing about the Genius Network, Jim, is that.... It's the Genius Network. You really don't get how important the Genius Network is unless you're a part of the Genius Network. Am I right Jim? Joe? Genius Network Joe?"
"What we're trying to do, Joe, is we want to eliminate people from teh Genius Network and only have worthy candidates for the Genius Network. Right Joe? I like that, Joe. I really do, Dean. I like that a lot. I like the Genius Network because the thing about the Genius Network is that I like the Genius Network."
In conclusion: Some great episodes on this show. Thank you for making the podcast, you truly did not have to create it. And it helps some people succeed. So ultimately it's a plus. But MAN.... those self plugs...”Read full review »

“I came to the show as a Joe Polish fan, but Dean Jackson is brilliant! I can't tell you how many more customers I've reeled in by listening to these podcasts. Yes, all of the podcasts are free, but paying to listen in on these guys for an hour a week talking about ways to effectively...”Read full review »

“What I really enjoy about this is it's like listening in on a discussion between two masters of marketing sharing all of their failures that led to them "figuring it all out" in two very different industries - but the same marketing concepts. If you understand the "why" behind...”Read full review »
